SEN. HILLARY CLINTON, 2000-2008

• Wrote a section of the 2001 "No Child Left Behind" education law (PL 107-110) that authorized funding for recruiting and retaining high-quality teachers and principals, citing a projected shortage of 2.2-million teachers by 2011.

• Co-authored a 2003 law (PL 108-155) that compels drug companies to conduct pediatric safety tests when their products are prescribed for children. The measure strengthened an earlier law that awards manufacturers added patent protection, allowing them to market drugs exclusively for six additional months if they agree to test them for use on children as well as adults. The 2003 law bestowed the extra six-month extension even if the Food and Drug Administration orders the testing.

• Worked with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., to add language to a fiscal 2005 defense authorization bill (PL 108-375) giving military reservists and members of the National Guard access to the military's Tricare health system even when they are not deployed. Previously, reservists only got covered while on active duty and for a limited time afterward. The measure came at a time when about 40 percent of U.S. forces in Iraq were reservists. Was enacted as law as part of a broader defense authorization bill.

• Sponsored a 2005 bill to distribute flu vaccines more efficiently, which inspired similar provisions in a 2006 law (PL 109-417) promoting adequate vaccine production and stockpiles to improve the nation's responses to public health emergencies.

• Wrote a 2006 law (PL 109-442) providing grants to state and local governments to pay for respite care services for family caregivers. (Respite care is designed to give principal caregivers of sick or disabled individuals temporary relief in their caregiving obligations.)

• Worked with Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds, R-N.Y., to insert language in a fiscal 2007 defense authorization measure (PL 109-364) keeping the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station open at a time when the Pentagon was closing bases. The move saved 800 upstate New York jobs.

Number of bills sponsored: 635

Number of bills co-sponsored: 2,441

Number of bills sponsored or co-sponsored that became law: 54

So indirectly you are saying GEJ was such a pathetic coward not fit to rule a country. No country leader should be afraid of death. He knew what he signed up for. You just indicted your paymaster. Well done that.

Can you honestly tell us why GEJ did not have Monguo arrested and prosecuted if truly he was aiding boko haram?

DIA and national security
By Dele Agekameh 25/01/2012 00:00:00




The orgy of bomb blasts and gun fire that rocked the ancient city of Kano last Friday and also reared its ugly head in the wee hour of Sunday in Bauchi State has again brought to the fore the noticeable failure of intelligence pervading the nation’s security network. Unfortunately, for quite some time now, attention seems to have been concentrated only on the inability of the police to rise up to the internal security challenges confronting the nation.

With the recent ‘escape’ of a high-prized Boko Haram agent from police custody, nobody should be in doubt that the police has finally lost grip of the nation’s security, if it had any before. But we all know that the police alone cannot provide adequate security for the nation. That is why there are other sister agencies with clear-cut mandates. One of these agencies which have escaped public binoculars is the Defence Intelligence Agency, DIA. It is, perhaps, one of the agencies that are in a better position to neutralise the current scourge of Boko Haram’s insurgency.

[b]Regrettably today, the DIA is a shadow of itself. But how did it get to this sorry pass? With the redeployment of Major General Babagana Monguno from the agency to the Defence Headquarters a few months ago, many of its staff breathe the air of respite. Why was it so? Monguno was appointed Chief of Defence Intelligence, CDI, in July 2009 but throughout his tenure, the agency retrogressed in terms of manpower development and relevance to national security. Monguno closed down all the offices of the agency in the states with the exception of Abuja and Lagos. Even at that, the agency’s office in Lagos operates with skeletal staff, most of whom are artisans.
One of the problems confronting the agency is a sort of military oligarchy that exists in the system. It is a kind of enthroned dictatorship that has been ravaging the place. DIA was established along with the State Security Service, SSS, and the Nigerian Intelligence Agency, NIA, in 1986. The agency was supposed to be modelled after the American Defence Intelligence Agency, comprising 30 percent of serving military personnel and 70 percent civilians. A fundamental crisis erupted when the military started seeing the agency as a “welfare ground”. Those at the helm of affairs, therefore, started their own restructuring by posting military personnel to the agency indiscriminately without any recourse to the act establishing it. In no time, the agency became flooded with military personnel while the number of civilians there took a sharp nosedive. The CDI and deputy CDI have consistently been military officers.
What is happening at the agency is the promotion of military supremacy, as it has long become a custom for the military personnel posted to the agency to rub it on their civilian colleagues that they are “bloody civilians”. The irony of the whole scenario is that the military personnel are visibly idle even though they enjoy the luxury and privileges of being there, including training programmes abroad which have become their exclusive preserve while the “bloody civilians” are denied this opportunity. The foreign training is like “settlement” as they never come back to put their newly acquired knowledge to work, thus leaving vital security assignments that naturally fall within DIA’s orbit for other sister agencies to perform. No wonder the agency has literally been relegated to irrelevance in security matters in the country.
Not only this. Monguno’s era witnessed a gradual decapitation of the agency as the total staff strength fell from about 100,000 to a miserable 10,000. Mostly affected were civilian staff, many of whom were compulsorily retired without any gratuity. As a result of this, many of the victims have dragged the agency to court. Currently, the agency operates about 11 departments. Out of these, only two departments that are less consequential are allocated to civilians. This is breeding a lot of suspicion and animosity between the military and civilian staff of the agency. [/b]
Monguno’s tenure was an era of terror itself for an agency that could have easily fought the current wave of terrorism to a standstill. His professional background as an architect and someone who had no previous intelligence training must have robbed the agency of the required direction it needed during his tenure. In many instances, instead of a properly coordinated security duties, he usually resorted to ad hoc arrangements which exposed his naivety. During the inauguration of President Goodluck Jonathan on May 29, 2011, it was a fidgety Monguno who ordered the network providers to shut down Abuja networks for the duration of the ceremony out of fear of terrorists’ strike. He also ordered the closure of the entry routes into the city. The only respite was to allow those who wanted to leave the city to do so.
Imagine the security agencies in say United States closing down Washington for a President’s inauguration even after 9/11 episode. What you have there is total covert operations that have often yielded good results. Such covert operations are alien to the security agency like DIA, which is saddled with internal security network.
Monguno had the exclusive past time of putting fears in the minds of the staff, particularly the civilians, threatening and sacking them at the slightest opportunity. In addition to this, field officers were starved of funds while money was allocated for events that had no bearing with the job of the agency. For instance, during the wedding ceremony of the daughter of AVM Faloyin, his deputy, in 2011, the vault of the agency was thrown open as military officers allegedly flew Business Class to the occasion in the United States with estacodes while ordinary bulbs could not be replaced as money was not released for operations.
If we are to fight the current resurgence of terrorists activities in the country, the Presidency should take more than a passing look at the DIA as a whole so as to enable it to function as it ought to be. One way to do this is to make sure that professionalism is enthroned in the agency. It is good news that the new CDI, Major General S.Y Audu, is an intelligence officer who understands the terrain.
The tyrannical tenure of Monguno, an indigene of Borno State, may have compromised national security. This is because at the inception of Boko Haram insurgency, those who were apprehended were handled with kid gloves, as they were left in the agency’s visitors’ room instead of cells. This enabled them to move freely and even got to know that the agency had internal problems. It sounds unbelievable that the Boko Haram suspects were being served special meals from Mr. Biggs and others, while Monguno kept referring to them as “friends of the agency”.
What is needed at this stage is a total overhaul, re-organisation and restructuring of the agency to enable it to meet the exigency of the moment. The DIA should revert to the good old days when its operatives were everywhere. The greatest problem in the security network of the country at the moment seems to be inter and intra-agency rivalry. This may have been responsible for the constant failure of intelligence in the country’s security system.
The security apparatuses need to come together and work for the common good of the country. This can only be achieved through concerted efforts in the area of inter-agencies’ cooperation. The plethora of security agencies too must put their house in order by engaging in confidence building, training in modern crime prevention and detection as well as provision of good working conditions for their operatives so as to encourage them to offer their best for the country.

Wow! and to think this man had the temerity to attack Goodluck Jonathan for shifting the election date even though a large percentage of the electorate hadn't received PVCs.

Why are these people like this?
Why do they thrive in so much deceit and hypocrisy?
Why do they constantly play to the gallery?

Deceit is something they so much have in common. If it's not Aregbesola lying to his starving civil servants that Jonathan was withholding their salaries because Osun is an opposition state (even though Aregbe has enough money to spray at Lagosians during their Buhari march), it's Rochas Okorocha lying on TV that his administration pays Youth Corpers 10,000 even when ALL Corpers in Imo can attest to the fact that they don't receive a DIME from this con artist.

Frankly, I feel sorry for anybody risking his life over these duplicitous, opportunist charlatans.

Only a fooliish person enjoys now for a short while and suffers a lot later FOREVER.

Why do you prefer to be fooolish

Why did you suffer to go to school to study & acquire knowledge and skills instead of just playing around and enjoying an ultimately useless life?

Why

Really?
Is this man CONFUSED or just simply showing that he is indeed an illiterate with no clue about anything on governance

SkySpirit:
Oshiomole is taking his personal fight with Okonjo Iweala too far may be he lost valuable cash during the Ekiti elections when his flight was not allowed to move. Oshiomole isn't a financial expert he cant contradict the ex minister. Whatever facts he has he should go to court or the EFCC and stop this campaign of calumny against her. He is becoming too petty!

The useless, half-literate man obviously knows nothing about seeking legal redress in court except when it is to reclaim his electoral mandate.
Perhaps it simply shows he is just making empty NOISE for mumucious people to get excited about.

What an imp!





https://www.weddingdigestnaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/image68.jpg

Stewpidity has a new name- Oshiomole.

He is better off telling Edo people what he did with his annual budget in the last seven years or so instead of telling fooolish stories.

He will score more points if he

- fixes the bad roads
- gets VIOs to do their vehicle inspection properly
- provide efficient, rapid response ambulance service
- educate Lagosians on better road driving skills
etc, etc

to prevent such accidents and minimise the need for his PAPARAZZI moments that really do NOT solve much in a systematic, encompassing manner.

When there is a heavy downpour that is when the various 'secrets' of Lagos roads are revealed. There is urgent need for rehabilitation of roads in Lagos because the ones built by the past administration have gone to hell.

And this is Yaba oh, not Abaranje or Ajegunle or Oko-Oba or Akowonjo or Isolo or any of those other areas ABANDONED by the 16 years of progreTHIEF administration of a supposed state of excellence

Despite 16 years of progreTHIEF administration of Tinubu/Fashola handed over to Ambode

In spite of over 10 times increase in annual budget from less than N45 billion in 2000 to almost N500 billion in 2015

How did we get here?

Your reasoning is sound but APC will insist they are not PDP.

Even in the West, politicians do cross carpet.

Given PMB's anti-corruption stance, it may yet spur them to greater heights for the betterment of the country.

The least we can do is to wish them God's guidance and hope that this anti-corruption government delivers promises made to Nigerians.

Bro, that is not the least we can do.

The least we can do is to stay ENGAGED and scrutinise every move of our leaders at the LGA, state and federal level both in the executive & legislative arms.

Wishing them God's guidance and hoping alone won't cut it.
Does your employer simply wish you God's guidance and only hope you will do your work or actively monitors and controls what you are doing? If you are an employer, is that how you deal with your employees?
If NOT, why should it be different with the greater society

When the cat is away (or is not looking) the mouse will always play!

wisdomiskey:
Basically what the white man built in colonial times is what has lasted in this country

The black race is cursed. Biologically unable to initiate nor maintain civilization. If care is not taken, these buildings will be also be ruined
just like the rest of the nation

True and sad.

However it is not biological rather attitudinal/behavioural. While there is no conclusive scientific evidence that our average IQ is different from that of other races- white, yellow, red, etc- it is evident that we prefer not to put our brains through plenty of rigour necessary for excellence and outstanding individual & societal growth.

We can and should do better, surely.

That's a nice contribution from your end. Thumbs up! Your suggestions are noted.

Thanks but it will take quite a lot of discipline to stay the course for sustainable progress. But the good news is that it can be done and it has been done in a way with someone like Awolowo leading the process in the South west for six glorious years (1954-1960) as Premier.

I have read your take on this topic with keen interest and am quite impressed with your opinions, which are logical and thought-provoking. How do you think the highlighted part of this post can be achieved? What steps do you suggest that can be taken by Blacks/Africans to improve our reputation among other peoples of the world? Thank you.

Encourage each other to focus on the real issues for sustainable development like education, especially technical/vocational and promote local consumption while encouraging internal competition. Most importantly stop wasting away our individual & collective wealth on bling bling acquisitions instead of sowing back to our communities.

Our value system needs to change and quickly too.
