The bodies of at least 74 migrants have been washed ashore in western Libya, in the latest tragedy along the dangerous trafficking route to Europe. The Libyan Red Crescent posted photos of dozens of bodies in black and white bags lined up along the shore near the western city of Zawiya.
A spokesman for the aid organisation said there were still bodies floating out at sea as the agency had no way of retrieving them. He said the migrants were all adults, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries, and all but three were men.
The UN migration agency, the International Organisation of Migration (IOM), said the dinghy had set off on Saturday with 110 people on board. The agency said traffickers deliberately took the engines from the boat and then abandoned it to drift.

So don't look at your present income and think you are being cheated on by the Men of God and keep protesting.
Pay your tithe and don't rob God

Etuagievin:
Its so good to obey God because the benefits are enormous. But its good to reflect on why you should obey him and where he instructed us to do so . Thats exactly what the beroans of apostle Paul's day did. Each time they were preached to ,they don't just take hook-line-and-sinker,they researched to see if what they were told is right and they were commended for it. We become blind spiritually if we believe every utterance from so-called men of God.

festwiz:
Post the stats let's see,anybody can say anything. In the end, the truth will still prevail. For those screaming persecution, i don't think you understand Freeze. He spotted what appeared to be wrong and confusing to him and requested clarification, but, so far they have let emotion rule over the truth. This dude is talking about "...paying their correct tithe...". Simple question, what is the "correct tithe" is it in the book of Malachi or Deutronomy?

Founder allegedly a friend of the governor while state commissioner for information rambles on about them being pencils in the hand of their god just acting out his script. It's seems the church is using her influence to obstruct justice. Not surprised, Nigerian Christian churches are a bastion of corruption (a.k.a divine favour ).

booblacain:
One thing made Clear here is that Obasanjo's stance against Atiku has everything to with the 3rd term agenda and has nothing to do with all those talk of corruption he Obasanjo would want us to believe.

Nigerian deals 'wasted billions
14 March 2008

Some $2.2bn-worth of Nigerian energy contracts were awarded without a bidding process by the former president and his energy minister, officials say.
One was to a company with less than $200 of base capital at the time, a witness told a parliamentary committee.

It is investigating why $16bn of investment in the energy sector during Olusegun Obasanjo's eight years in power failed to end power shortages.

Alleged N19bn fraud: Ex-gov Sylva reclaims 48 houses from EFCC

1.That is not true. And oil wasn't a major earner till the 1970's.

2.The reason why zero benefit is because we do not spend the money right.... On industrial development. We import, and that causes problems for local industries, leading to job losses.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.

“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.

The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.

While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.

“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”

The former president also said he tried his best in fighting corruption, especially in the recovery of funds looted by the late Gen. Sani Abacha and that as of the time he left the government, about $1bn was still to be recovered.

Obasanjo said, “For me, we have no hope if we have no future. I am an optimist as far as Nigeria is concerned. If somebody doesn’t get it all right for now, we will get somebody who will come up and fix whatever is missing. The administration before this had no clue on how to deal with Boko Haram, there is no doubt about that.

“You may not like the way he (Buhari) is fighting corruption. I fought corruption. We recovered over $1.25bn from Abacha and his men. We didn’t make noise. Also, we recovered £100m and about N30m and those who were helping us, the lawyers and the rest said there was still at least $1bn to be recovered at that time. I put it in my handover notes. But rather than encourage scrupulous persons, we had another spate of corruption.”

Obasanjo added that fighting corruption would not be effective if it did not translate to better life for the citizens.

He said, “Fighting corruption is not a one-day or a one-regime affair. If where we left it, they continued, we would have gone far. For me, the questions are: Is corruption being fought? And if it is being fought, is it being effectively fought? Are we getting the desired results? And if we are getting the desired results, what impact is it having on our society and on our nation?”

Other speakers at the event included Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Prof. Joy Ogwu, and the Associate Vice-President, Research, McMaster University, Canada, Prof. Bonny Ibhawoh.

They both said if Africa was to experience any development, leaders must match their words or policies with action.

It is, but most of what we earn comes from oil.
Anyway, the fact is, reliance on agric and oil isn't good for our economy. Industry is... And APC nor PDP is doing anything about it

MONITZ:
@Onatisi,where ve u been? I don't get to see ur posts regularly in the politics section again,I maintain the same stance with u on Atiku being a heavyweight in Nigeria's politics ,it's only kids and neophytes who think otherwise because they re yet to know how deft politically he is ,maybe they need some reminder of how the guy almost singlehandedly wrecked Obasanjo's 2nd term and how he also sounded the death knell on the latter's I'll-fated 3rd term agenda which is the reason y Obj still loathes him till date.
He is simply a politician u don't toy with and if u do it would be at ur peril,also he is more detribalized then Buhari,his influence cuts across all the ethnic divides,he has made some of his political sons governors in the past,El-Rufai wouldn't ve gained prominence sans Atiku input who lobbied the Bational Assembly then to confirm him as the director of BPE after which El Rufai accused the National Assembly members of demanding that their palms must be 'greased' for him to be confirmed.The rage that followed this accusation was too hot for El Rufai to handle,he still had to run to Atiku to help him quell the "inferno",so it's just too annoying and irritating that this same El Rufai who benefitted from Atiku's magnanimity and benevolence in the past would turn around to malign and cast aspersions on his supposed benefactor,some of his associates who benefited from him in one way or the other re grateful with others ungrateful,yet he is unfettered and takes everything in his stride.
When he was the VP ,he had at least 20 of the state governors on his side and he made Obj eat the humble pie before he was given the ticket for a second term,still smarting from the humiliation he received before the primaries for his second term ticket Obj decided to stretch his luck farther by gunning for a third term.
That aside,is ur crystal ball clear enough to see where the pendulum is swinging in the next elections?

Good point. What saves them from mass revolt is that 9jas have the option of leaving and many are outside and remitting money

9jaDoc:
Admirable how u pay attention to these things. You must be close to politics. I suspect they need to be really pushed to keep that particular promise.

** lol at cartoon. Funny but quite accurate
