Reference: Thought it will contain useful information about the last moments of the flight that could help establish the cause but like typical Nigerian reportage, short on substance, long on tales. Rubbish.

Did it occur to you that if he is being truthful all he can say is what he witnessed, and we only see what we want to see, not the full picture.

Good account, thank you for sharing OP.

Opposition reacted. though now they will probably leave the Law untouched if they ever get to power.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 03, (THEWILL) – The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) Rivers State Chapter Tuesday slammed the Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi (PDP), over the proposed bill presently before the State House of Assembly awarding huge pensions and various ridiculous perks to the governor and his deputy when their tenure ends in 2015.

The Bill seeks to provide Amaechi with two houses in any place of his choice in Abuja and Rivers State, plus three cars that will be replaced every three years and receive 300 per cent funding for any furniture of his choice.

Other benefits include 20 per cent funding for utility, 10 per cent funding for entertainment, and 10 per cent for houses of their choice. There is also provision for free medical expenses for him and his immediate family; and security details that will include two officials of the State Security Service (SSS), one female officer of the same department, eight police officers for personal and domestic security, and domestic staff including a cook, steward, gardener and others. All the domestic staff, including drivers, shall be pensionable, according to the Bill.

But the ACN in a statement said, “The Bill is unpopular, unethical, colonial, fraudulent and unacceptable.”

The Statement in full reads: “It is no longer a secret that the abject poverty and suffering starring our people in the face in the midst of plenty is deliberately designed using government as a cover.

There could not have been a better indicator to this evil than the proposed public office holders (payment of pension) Bill currently before the State House of Assembly.

The Bill among others is seeking to ensure that whether or not a governor continues in office he, the family, retinue of staff and relations do not lack anything economically and financially for life.

Contrary to the detestable practice of the State House of Assembly perceived by not a few as governor Amaechi’s willing tool this time deemed it necessary to organize a real public hearing on the intended law that is sure to fail whether it is eventually endorsed or not.

Thank God it was not surreptitiously passed as used to be the case and announced before the usual public show called public hearing.

Hon. Josiah John Olu, head of the Finance Committee of the State legislature presented the Bill at the public hearing Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at the premises of Rivers State House of Assembly.

According to the bill, the governor will be provided with two houses in any place of his choice in Abuja and Rivers State. He will also have three cars that will be replaced every three years and receive 300 per cent funding for any furniture of his choice.

Other benefits include: 20 per cent funding for utility, 10 per cent funding for entertainment, and 10 per cent for houses of their choice. This is in addition to free medical expenses for him and his immediate family; and security details that will include two officials of the State Security Service (SSS), one female officer of the same department, eight police officers for personal and domestic security, and domestic staff including a cook, steward, gardener and others. All the domestic staff, including drivers, shall be pensionable.

The benefits available to the deputy governor only come with slight differences.

Speaker of the RSHA, Otelemaba Daniel Amachree said the aim of the bill, when passed into law, is to take care of holders of the offices, provided they were not impeached before the expiration of their tenures.

Chairman of the House Committee on Finance. Hon Olu, told the public that the Assembly, by presenting the bill, is seeking to restructure a similar extant law made in 2003, saying that the endeavour is guided by the provisions of Section 124 sub section 1 and 2 of the 1999 constitution.

In his submission, state commissioner for budget and economic planning, Gogo Charles said the bill is to ensure those who serve in government do not leave in tears.

This is to prove that the sponsors of this rip-off bill may have done all the ground work they think will prepare a soft landing for this obnoxious plot to cheat and mortgage the state forever.

The ACN believes that the thrust of any bill or law should be to promote the welfare of the people and reduce their suffering as much as is humanly possible.

We also know that it is a salient feature of any undemocratic, insensitive and corrupt regime to be self-seeking and stubborn.

The Peoples Democratic ruling government under Rt. Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi by all intents and purposes has confirmed to the Rivers people that it is not there for them but for themselves and their families alone.

Even from the surface value it is crystal clear that the only motive of this Bill is rip-off the state treasury.

If all the provisions outlined in the Bill are made for one former governor multiplied by the number of past chief executives and their deputies what else is left to carter for the teeming unemployed youths and thousands that graduate from hundreds of tertiary institutions in the country to add to the flood.

We regret that of all the problems and challenges confronting our people, all that border our dear governor is to continue to live in opulence for life; to perpetuate himself in office indirectly to beat the constitutional provision of not more than two terms in office.

The bill is unpopular, unethical, colonial, fraudulent and unacceptable.

We enjoin the State House of Assembly not to contemplate debating it, and consign it into the House waste basket where the bill rightly belongs.

In a civilized society, mere conception of this wickedness that sees only the former governors and their deputies as the only public office holders leaving out the real workers and live wire of the state economy, will provoke civil unrest, and call for resignation of such conspirators if not outright impeachment.

But here, the ruling PDP is shamelessly trying to institutionize and legalize a corrupt practice. This idea rather than help cure the corrupt tendencies of the governors will promote them because it derives from the disease itself, kleptomania that is christened public office holders bill.

The Bill while trying to convince us on the merits of the proposal failed to talk about what happens to all the material acquisition of the governors even with all the spoils of the office whether corrupt or not.

It is high time the PDP began to think before it acts.

If the contest for the office of the governor has become a do or die affair as is evident, a creation of same PDP without these eternal luxury attached, what will the situation be like if live is stupidly given to this ill-intended Bill.

Is it not laughable that a former governor who may have run the affairs of a state and managed its resources for a period not less than four or eight years as the case may be, cannot start a money yielding venture to sustain him and his family and even further contribute to the growth of the state economy when he is out of office unless he becomes a parasite on state treasury.

Is this bill not propagating once a governor, governor for ever and by extension, once a pauper, a pauper forever. Is our society that, which makes no room for growth, competition, elevation and promotion etc.

As a people and a grassroots political party out to nurture the conscience of our state and initiate tenets that are good and sustainable and which will beget good legacies to posterity, we condemn in its entirety the public office holders bills as proposed by Governor Amaechi and his cohorts. This bill is retrogressive, retarding and corrosive, and therefore must not be allowed to be.”

http://thewillnigeria.com/politics/13250-Amaechi-Predecessors-Get-Two-Houses-Largesse-Pension.html
PORT HARCOURT, March 27, (THEWILL) - The Rivers State House of Assembly (RSHA) is nearing the passage of a bill that will see current governor, Rotimi Amaechi, his deputy and their predecessors earn 100 per cent of their basic salaries, in addition to other benefits, when they quit office.

The RSHA Committee on Finance, headed by Honourable Josiah John Olu disclosed this at a public hearing on the Rivers State Public Office Holders (Payment of Pension) Bill 2012 conducted at the premises of the Assembly on Tuesday.

According to the bill, the governor will be provided with two houses in any place of his choice in Abuja and Rivers State. He will also have three cars that will be replaced every three years and receive 300 per cent funding for any furniture of his choice.

Other benefits include: 20 per cent funding for utility, 10 per cent funding for entertainment, and 10 per cent for houses of their choice. This is in addition to free medical expenses for him and his immediate family; and security details that will include two officials of the State Security Service (SSS), one female officer of the same department, eight police officers for personal and domestic security, and domestic staff including a cook, steward, gardener and others. All the domestic staff, including drivers, shall be pensionable.

“It is an attempt to domesticate the federal act, and a great improvement on the existing Rivers State law of 2003. If you know that if you serve as a governor and complete your tenure, you will be remunerated for life, then the tendency to be corrupt will be reduced,” he argued.

Some participants at the hearing expressed desire to have former lawmakers, elected local government officials and even student union leaders benefit from the law.

Lol at the last part, by the time they have finished with Rivers 80% of their revenue will be used to pay retired Politicans salaries. Oh and I guess the 300% furniture allowance represents 3 times his anual salary, just for table and chairs my brothers and sisters.

duni04: This is the BBC world service. It has just been reported that a passenger plane has crashed in Nigeria's commercial capital, lagos, killing all the passengers on board. More details later
Still in Nigeria, more than 15 people were killed in the early hours of sunday morning following an apparent sucide bombing outside a church in the North of the country. Details to follow
And yet still in Nigeria, it has just been confirmed that at least 30 people were killed in the northern state of Nassarawa following clashes between rival ethnic gropus. Details to follow.
Still in Nigeria, a road accident in the western state of oyo has killed more than 20 people. Details to follow
Finally and thankfully moving away from Nigeria now, an axxra bound cargo plane has crashed in the Ghanian capital killing more than 10 people on the ground. The plane was from...guess where? NIGERIA!

And later some people will say we are not living in a failed state.

May their souls rest in peace.

DaLover: There have been numerous arrest made in the last few weeks, so much clamp down on the sect..more infiltration by the intelligence agencies, but I guess if you are someone who wants this government to fail, these activities would mean very little to you.

Yes they mean little to us as long as we keep seeing our brethren offered like burnt offerings while most of our security apparatus is wasted in Lagos trying to keep the Presidents ego intact.

9jadelta: 4 d bolded part. Lets take abdulmutallab (the underpant bomber) as an example. He is living in a € 3million pounds sterlin in uk, had chance to travel around the world, do whatever he likes and yet he has hope 4 the future. Yet he wants to blow himself up becoz of his belief in religion of piss.. Same goes 4 osama bin latrin. He is a member of one of the richest family in d middle east, yet he was a world renown terrorist.. So saying poverty and the rest is the course of sucide is absolute thrash. Though it helps them buh its not the main reason, these people has being brain washed by religion of piss take it or leave it

dnt mind my typo error it's becoz am typing on phone

Oh so you are tired of insulting now?

Anyway nice reply but you are still not close. Almost all the suicide bombers that performed 9-11 were Saudi, why did they not bomb Saudia Arabia? Osama and most of the top Alqueda guys were Saudi, why did they not strike at there decadent monarchy? Why did Abdul Mutallab a Nigerian, have to go all the way to America to achieve his dream of Matrydom? It has even come out after his death that Osama was angry about how Iraq had become so divided and Yemen was becoming a wasteland because of ao called alqueda sympathisers. In the same letters it was revealed that he instructed his men not to take the African jihadist groups serious (Al-shabab was specifically mentioned). Al-queda is not bothered with islamising Nigeria or Africa because either we are not worth it or they don't really have any real beef with us.

So I ask again, what is the real beef you think the jobless Almajiri has with Christians in the North?? Are you really saying that if we were as advanced as Saudia Arabia, where all infrastructure works, they have jobs and if one is too lazy or any dissent is about to be expressed the government actually pays you off and subsidises your whole living all to maintain the staus quo; are you suggesting that even with all of this that we, black Africans would be bombing ourselves regulary?

Why are the black Africans muslims in Kenya not bombing themselves or christians, why not in Tanzania, why not in Senegal, why is it only the failed black African states of Somalia, Mali and now Nigeria that we are going through this as blackmen??

9jadelta: u are a fool of the highest order. Is there anywhere in my post that i said people should start killing those that are following religion of piss? U are either dumb or u are having problem with comprehension.
Leme break my post down 4 u. I said people should stop blaming jonathan 4 sumtin perpetrated by religion of piss.
Is that to hard for a dumbskull to swallow huh?

It's "numbskull" and goodluck fighting the elements, you will need him.

9jadelta: thank u my brother. Anything they will start blaming Gej as if it was jonathan that threw the bomb, instead of them to blame the religion of piss/Shiit that has swear to make nigeria ungovernable 4 jonathan. Alqeda, alshabab, hezbolah, talibans, boko namasharam, hamas etc all have sumtin in common.. So are they telling me jonathan controls all these groups too?

Oya I will give you an AK47 and you can go and wipe out half of this country's population that follow the "religion of piss", as you say.

I don't know why some of us are acting just as dumb as the mentally challenged fools who just killed their own brothers and sisters all because they don't know how too express themselves and tell us what their real problem is.

I ask do you really think if we had no corruption, electricity, the rule of law, hope, jobs and all things other civilised African multi- religious nations are having we would be facing blackmen willing to blow themselves up

Stop being dumb, you can't clear all the muslims out of the country, the same way BH still has another 90 million plus Christians to kill if they want to achieve their target.

Where were our security agents !!!!!!

OH..... probably too busy in chaos ridden Lagos terrorising the more notoriously dangerous field soldiers of MAU MAU.

May God save us from this useless government and our Commander-in-Chief, Basil Fawlty.

Every time the government has a scandal, Boko Haram strikes. It does not take a genius to figure out where their sympathy lies.

[quote author=Rhino.5dm]I won't be surprise if Shinkafi is working covertly for PDP. PDP is very good at sponsoring agents to destroy opposing parties. The case of ANPP is still fresh and all that. Their agents went in(Gov. Isa Yuguda & co), caused a serious chaos by accepting the so-called government of national unity(GNU), which led to untimely demised of ANPP. But trust Buhari, he quickly luanch CPC, a party that wrestled about 11 million votes from PDP rigging machine within 6 months of its formation. What about PPA? Ohakim the dreaded devil left the back door open for PDP monsters to come in and destroyed what could have been a formidable opposing party in south east.

They are always afraid of anything that will awake the south east from their political prostitutions.

90% of northern politicians feel very comfortable under PDP, cos thats the only party that would allow them dominate others.[/quote]Said it all.

Intelligent contributions so far. The drama continues.

Dede1: You are beyond help.

You see, in his mind OBJ won the 1999 election " with all those votes" fair and square. In his mind OBJ, conquerer of Biafra, actaully got all the votes accredited to him in the east (wasn't it like 80 percent turn out),lol lol. It is as if somebody put something in the water east of the Niger after 1970.

Personally, if the SE ever wake up, maybe we will get this country back on track.

bittyend: There's no harm in calling them apes, as long as they keep ganking you.. Guess who's going to laugh last? The willing tool or the ape? Your guess is as good as mine..

I have never seen Yoruba vote massively for any any Northerner since the creation of Nigeria, but ndigbos have done that time and time again... So, who are the loyal subordinates? It's a chess game of numbers and Yoruba have perfected the skills.. Our elders know how the game works while yours are always available to the highest bidders..

When have Igbos ever spoken with one voice? But Yoruba do that all the time.. It takes a lot maturity and savviness to be able to do that without being confrontational..

Though I frown at ethnic baiting, this is quite a sensible reply to the people who blame "Yoruba" for there inabilty to tie there own shoe laces.

The truth is it is chrystal clear the region that has always followed the Nigerian script without a whimper since 1970, and yet that same region that is not known for anything other than following the status quo feel they have the right to blame Yoruba for all there woes. Every single challenge to the Nigerian staus quo has either arisen from the SW, North and now even the newly emboldened SS. What actually has the SE contributed to steering Nigeria out of the path of doom??

Oh well, let this thread continue, and they continue blaming "Yoruba" for all there woes.

saxywale: I goggled his name and party, as at may last year, he was in Accord.[b] By September, he was in ACN. [/b]Now as at may 2012, he is PDP. Shame.

TBF to the ACN he was not in that party,if he was how come ACN has been the party that has consistently dragged him to tribunals and courts since he won his election last year?

www.punchng.com/news/oyo-acn-seeks-retrial-of-appeal/

Google just exposes the poor standard of Journalism we have in this country. Good news is if you take the word of the Punch over The Daily Times (which most sensible people would), he beat ACN by about 100 votes, so his rigging machine shouldn't be able to carry him to office next time.
