Four months ago Modu Sheriff was an APC hero until he switched sides in August.

Hmmmmn 400billion? Am a major rice dealer and all my years in my biz, am yet to come across locally grown rice in NIG for the nigeria consumer.
Lies lies lies!
Come to iddo,daleko and sango....these are the rice depots of lagos n I assure u you wunt find a bag of a locally grown rice.
Or are they trying to tell me its ofada rice production that brought about ths 400billion in revenue.?
Both me n you knw ofada rice cant gross ths revenue.
We need to knw how they came about ths figures and where the local rice are bn sold to??

Before I 4gt a frnd sed the local rice is bn sold in benue state n it goes for 16k for 50kg bag lipsrsealed
Imported rice from Thailand n USA cost an average of 10k for a 50kg bag.
I leave u with the math!
Thanks for sharing the testimony of your friend in Benue that Nigerian (not local) rice is being sold there at a price higher than imported rice is being sold in Lagos. Have you considered the price differential for the imported rice if it were to be sold in Benue also after being transported all the way from Lagos huh

The smart team of Jonathan/Sambo have been diversifying our economy with local production of cement, vehicles, rice, cassava, cocoa etc, which reduces our import bill while broadening our export basket. Otherwise the impact of the dropping oil prices would have meant worse austerity.

Now how many people can read Arabic ? Lets be honest with ourselves, the only Arabic likes of us can recognise are the ones written in the Quran not taking it to the extent of writing it on our money.

In Nigeria, we need to take different groups along, the Christians are not comfortable with the Arabic inscription on the Note. Why not just remove it and write in Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo and English. This why we can convert more Christians to Muslims just as Prophet Mohammed said (S.A.W)

China also has a GDP we can only dream of right now.

Education is expensive. I expect the govt of Edo State to deal with its corrupt educaiton officials. I also expect Nigerians to be realistic. You can't get good education on N32000 a year.

Note that I don't like the idea of increasing fees. Infact I hate the idea whole heeartedly. But sadly, if we want the poor kids to get a good education.....we may have to increase fees at state and LGA level.

(And, on a side note...it may become a reality soon....what with the fall in oil prices. Austerity will soon come into play....and what I have just said will soon happen).

It is so painful....but fees have to go up. And if APC or PDP are not ready to make that hard choice....as well as to end corruption....then either party isn't serious. The era of awoof money is over. We don't have enough money anyways...corruption and oil price aside.

P.S---If Abuja removes fuel subsidy and spends much of the money on education, fees may stay low.

P.S 2...Oil is a curse. Rely on oil money alone....and this is what you get. China is not a resource dependent country. Best we follow their example.
You are really MISSING the point although I perceive that you have very good intentions hence I am engaging with you.

Have you asked yourself how did China as a country/society become a NON resource dependent country?
How did they move from an agrarian society to an industrial entity?
They invested in their PEOPLE i.e. MASSIVE education of everyone at a time when their economy aka GDP was nothing to write home about, the society made the huge SACRIFICE necessary back then to have a better TODAY and even brighter tomorrow. Not so huh

Awolowo and the five UPN governors of the LOBOO states made similar sacrifice to educate our people six decades ago and three decades ago respectively.

Part of your concern about families with many kids is also a lack of education and subsequent work opportunities. Most middle class and rich people are too busy making money and enjoying it in other ways than simply fvcking their lives away and making babies angry

So how do we get out of the VICIOUS CYCLE of collective poverty if we do not make collective sacrifice to educate our people while copying, adopting and continuously improving TECHNOLOGY, procedures, processes, rules, laws and systems huh

The solution is simple...find money for the schools by raising fees.....but you Nigerians will promptly shout 'We are poor''....so you will have your poor schools that produce poor graduates that cannot compete against Rich Madam's London educated daughter in the job market.


Education in Nigeria is at a crossroads. And unfortunately.....no more extra money.

By Duro Onabule(duroonabule@gmail.com)


It is only fair to pay this well-deserved tribute to the memory of one of Nigeria’s founding fathers, Obafemi Awolowo. Despite all his ups and downs in the struggle for national leadership and even, after losing out, there was never, (repeat never) a time Awolowo accused his only major rivals, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Tafawa Balewa of conspiring against him.

Ahmadu Bello, the late premier of the defunct northern region did not aspire to Nigeria’s national leadership. Why therefore is this political reminiscence?
Not long ago, law teacher Itse Sagay stirred avoidable controversy when he strayed from an ordinary interview with a Lagos newspaper and pointedly accused former (ceremonial) president Nnamdi Azikiwe and Nigeria’s first (so far only) Prime Minister, the late Tafawa Balewa of conspiring against their political contemporary, Obafemi Awolowo.
The alleged conspiracy, as specified by Itse Sagay, arose from the eventual outcome of the 1962 crisis in the banned Action Group – the tussle for the west regional premiership, whether at the end of the emergency rule, Chief S.L. Akintola was to be restored to office or whether there should be fresh general elections in the West.

The Federal Supreme Court in Lagos ruled that Chief Akintola at the end of emergency rule, should be restored as west regional premier but the Privy Council in London ruled in favour of rival claimant that the emergency rule should be followed by fresh elections. In the face of the potential political/constitutional crisis, instead of complying with the Privy Council ruling, Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa maintained his support for Chief Akintola, rushed through parliament an amendment to the constitution abolishing appeals to the Privy Council in London and backdated it to October 1st, 1960. Adegbenro’s legal victory at Privy Council instantly became a nullity.

Conspiracy against Obafemi Awolowo? Would he have done anything less if in Tafawa Balewa’s position? Better still, what was the record before then? History will prove who started such political tactics against Nnamdi Azikiwe/NCNC. The truth, however, was that Obafemi Awolowo in 1962 was simply met in his game.
The (1962) crisis in the Action Group was simply a cut-throat struggle for supremacy between Obafemi Awolowo and Ladoke Akintola, and such was not unprecedented in Nigeria. As far back as 1941, there was the crisis in Nigerian Youth Movement over the party’s candidate for a by-election to the Old Legislative Council. Obafemi Awolowo supported Ernest Ikoli, strictly in line with the movement’s constitution that once the president expressed interest in such an election, his candidacy would be unopposed.

On the other hand, Zik supported the candidacy of Samuel Akinsanya (later Odemo of Ishara) to express his (Zik’s) distaste of the derogatory remarks of Lagos members who derided the prospects of an Ijebu man contesting election in Lagos as that would make it impossible for non-Lagosians to contest in future.
With equally matched arguments, the election held and Ernest Ikoli won, thereby vindicating Awolowo’s stand. It was therefore to be expected that when Zik faced the same problem in the NCNC after the 1951 elections in western region which then extended to Lagos, if Awolowo did not support Nnamdi Azikiwe, he (Zik) should at least be left alone to solve his party’s internal crisis. But what happened?

Nnamdi Azikiwe’s party, NCNC cleared all Lagos seats with the following candidates in this order – Ibiyinka Olorunnimbe (then Mayor of Lagos) Prince Adeleke Adedoyin, Nnamdi Azikiwe, TOS Benson and ex-union leader H.P. Adebola. By that victory, the NCNC was to send an elected member to the legislative council and Zik as the party’s leader, supported by Benson and Adebola was to go. That of course, would put Zik as NCNC leader ahead of Awolowo in political prospects.

Action Group under Awolowo completely incited Ibiyinka Olorunnimbe and Adeleke Adedoyin to resist Zik’s ambition. Purely circumstantial evidence? Ibiyinka Olorunnimbe’s erstwhile rising political prospect crashed and sent him to complete oblivion. If Awolowo merited any doubt, such disappeared when Adeleke Adedoyin, an NCNC elected member for Lagos crossed from NCNC to the Action Group on the floor of the house of assembly and was instantly elected the first speaker of Western House of Assembly.
The plot against Zik to induce NCNC members to cross the floor to Action Group was later conceded by Action Group’s federal secretary Ayo Rosiji in his biography. Even the late Bola Ige, in one of his books, admitted that it was unfair for the Action Group to have blocked Zik from going to the old legislative council.

It was even amusing reading the late AMA Akinloye in 1994, on Zik’s ninetieth birthday, virtually apologizing on behalf of his fellow NCNC members who crossed to Action Group. Akinloye’s explanation in newspaper advertisements in 1990? Zik was not deserted as an Igbo but that they (who crossed to Action Group (Speaker Adeleke Adedoyin, Finance Minister F.O. Awosika, Agriculture Minister Akinloye) only wanted a Yoruba man to rule the West. Difference between six and half a dozen? There is also the long gap between 1951 when Zik was blocked and 1963 when Awolowo’s protégé, D.S. Adegbenro was blocked.

And if conspiracy was the word, then, there had been many in the mid-years. In 1953, Awolowo (despite the Lagos legislative council and western region carpet-crossing episodes) would still not let off Zik. There was the McPherson constitution which Zik, as NCNC leader considered unsuitable for an ideal federation especially with lop-sided allocation of seats to the House of Representatives in Lagos.
The NCNC, under Zik, therefore directed its federal ministers – Alfred Chuku Nwapa, Okoi Arikpo and E.M.L. Endely to cabinet posts. The three NCNC ministers in defiance of their party’s directive, refused to quit and became notorious as “sit-tight ministers.” A purely political party’s internal conflict, but who openly backed the rebellious ministers against Zik? Obafemi Awolowo and the Action Group. Was that a conspiracy against Zik? As to be expected the three ministers were expelled from the NCNC.

A fall-out of the 1953 sit-tight ministers’ crisis in the NCNC is often mischievously cited against Zik for allegedly unseating Eyo Ita as a non-Igbo leader of government business in Eastern region. While the sit-tight ministers crisis rocked the NCNC and the dissidents (admittedly for political purposes) were supported by Awolowo against Zik, a supposed leader of (NCNC) government business (as regional premiers were then known) Professor Eyo Ita openly supported the sit-tight ministers against their party led by Zik.

At that stage, a show-down was inevitable to test Eyo Ita’s popularity if he was supported by NCNC members in Eastern House of Assembly. A vote of no confidence in his continued leadership (of government business in the East) was moved on the floor of the house and almost unanimously carried except opposition from Action Group members of the House.

Zik had to assume leadership to restore party discipline and political stability. No other party members could have successfully undertaken that assignment.
By the way, when Chief Akintola, nine years later, was similarly accused of not supporting (Action Group) party policy, there was the same attempt to impeach him on the floor of the House Assembly in Ibadan except that his party was more divided than the NCNC (in 1953) and violence erupted in the legislature leading eventually to declaration of emergency.
When the 1962 crisis in the Action Group was rightly or wrongly handled or mishandled, the region-wide violence in the West led to the January 1966 military coup.
Another fall-out of the 1953 sit-tight ministers NCNC crisis was that after their expulsion from the party, one of them, E.M.L. Endeley from Southern Cameroons, formed a new party which was instantly embraced in an alliance by Obafemi Awolowo’s Action Group. Was that a conspiracy against Zik?
There was the Foster-Sutton inquiry into African Continental Bank on deposits of East regional government funds in the bank founded by Zik. The star witness (perhaps the chief prosecution witness) was Chief Effiong O Eyo, an ex-confidant of Zik. For the expected political execution, Obafemi Awolowo’s Action Group secured, for E.O. Eyo, the services of a British Queens Counsel, Christopher Shawcross.

Was that a conspiracy against Zik?
A leading Nigerian lawyer, Udo Udoma was an associate of Zik and of course member of the NCNC. Down the line and as a constitutional right, he had to pursue immediate group interests in the Calabar Ogoja Rivers (COR) state movement.
Instantly, Udo Udoma’s (COR) state movement was wooed by and fell for an alliance with Obafemi Awolowo’s Action Group. That could easily have been considered a conspiracy against Zik.
Even though Premier Ahmadu Bello limited his personal political aspirations to the north, yet, his Northern People’s Congress (later Nigerian People’s Congress) did not escape internal squabbles. Hence, a member, Ibrahim Imam broke away and formed Borno Youth Movement. Readily, a political ally was found in Obafemi Awolowo’s Action Group.

Could that be interpreted or did any NPC sympathizer deem it as a conspiracy against Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa?
In contrast, in1956, the first minister of Education in Western region, Stephen Awokoya, disagreed with Obafemi Awolowo, resigned accordingly from the Action Group and formed his Nigerian Peoples’ Party. None of Zik, Ahmadu Bello or Tafawa Balewa supported Awokoya in any alliance against Obafemi Awolowo/Action Group, and this accounted for Awokoya’s failure to win a single seat in the 1956 west regional elections.

Again, in 1958, another revolt led by Kingsley Ozumba Mbadiwe broke out against Nnamdi Azikiwe’s leadership in the NCNC. Mbadiwe was egged on by Obafemi Awolowo’s Action Group. Collapse of Mbadiwe’s challenge led to his expulsion from NCNC. He then formed Democratic Party of Nigeria and the Cameroon. (DPNC). Obafemi Awolowo’s Action Group hurried an alliance with Mbadiwe for the 1959 elections. Was that a conspiracy against Zik?
When Joseph Tarka led masses’ revolt in Middle Belt, his major ally was Awolowo’s Action Group. Nobody grumbled a conspiracy against Ahmadu Bello.

All the events occurred before 1963. If therefore for once, (at least, for purposes of political argument) Zik and Tafawa Balewa supported Ladoke Akintola against Obafemi Awolowo, it could not be any political conspiracy. Or if it was a conspiracy, it was only a clone of the tactics tested from Action Group all along.
Was it ever considered a conspiracy when others were on the receiving end of convenient alliances/political expediencies, all introduced into Nigerian politics by the Action Group, why the alarm and whining when others, with the same tactics, had the upper hand?

Deplorable as the 1963 rushed amendment of Nigerian Constitution dating back to October 1st 1960 was, it was not the first retroactive legislation in Nigeria. Tafawa Balewa only copied what the Action Group regime in the West, led by Obafemi Awolowo started in 1955 in the Olubadan Chieftaincy succession crisis to nullify Adegoke Adelabu’s installation of his own candidate as Olubadan of Ibadan.

With the 1955 amendment to the western region’s chief’s law and backdated, it became a criminal offence for anybody to install a traditional ruler without government’s approval or for anybody to allow himself to be appointed a traditional ruler without government’s approval.
The retroactive legislation in the west served its intended political purpose as both Adegoke Adelabu and his Olubadan-elect were robbed of their effort.

The silence of the labour unions and the civil society in Nigeria is deafening. If pump price was increased because of high crude prices why will it not go down now if the crude price has dropped?

Government cannot claim it is still subsidising now can it?
Firstly our labour union looters should be more concerned about the DISPARITY between the ridiculous N18,000 minimum wage and the mega millions collected by our elected public servants working for the SAME government.

Now to the falling crude price and pump retail petrol price. Why should any SANE person expect a reduction in the pump price without first verifying the % subsidy currently paid by the government COMPARED to the recent fall in crude prices, which may not be fully reflected by those supplying us REFINED fuel.

The situation would have been much different if we had all endorsed Jonathan's proposal two years ago to completely remove subsidy, liberalise the sector and collect REVENUE from investors instead of paying to importers.
We allowed ourselves to be MISLED by the clueless trade unions and political opposition who ONLY wanted to score cheap political points.

People forget that Tinubu is a pragmatist. They say he has supported Tambuwal yet look at the the 2011 elections where it was claimed Fashola had no chance of getting the APC ticket because Tinubu had "settled" on someone else. In the end Tinubu strongly came out to support Fashola who was never threatened as the best candidate to deliver Lagos for the now defunct ACN. Precisely the same situation with Buhari and the fight for the Presidency.
You can save your Do as I say and not as I do for those dimwits in your Agbero ProgreTHIEF Congress, you hear huh

Your childish attempt at moving focus away from the subject matter is only indicative of your immature and dishonest nature.

My own problem is with him deliberately neglecting Ohakims ideas and projects.
And this is where Jonathan EXCELS- continuity in governance- building on your predecessor's ideas & projects while taking them to the NEXT LEVEL.

Gbawe:
Olumhense ire against the PDP is typical of what most neutral and objective Nigerians believe to be the case currently. I.e "PDP must go" for Nigeria to make progress. 15 years is far more than enough indulgence of a grossly failed ruling Party.
The same way the Arewa People's Congress, APC must go from Lagos state next year.

16 years of expensive, HYPER-INFLATED flower planting and beautification of barely 10% of the entire state while neglecting the provision of BASIC services & utilities all over the state 'is far more than enough indulgence of a grossly failed ruling Party'

Seriously can any pilot on NL confirm whether or not they are expected to make the type of reckless statement in Enoch's story well ahead of an actual crash.

Please feel free to ask a pilot [if you know one offline] and share the reply with us.

We're all human. It's normal...
Yes oh, you are very correct. We are all human when it comes to STORIES like this.
Why not say the same thing when a pastor misbehaves instead of chanting-

- Touch not my anointed. Do my prophet no harm.

Is he human or SUPER-human abi it depends on the circumstance so he can switch them on & off as he likes for any scamming maga huh

We should always be ready for our maker and repent from our sins cos nobody knows the day it will be.Lord please let your grace be with us and have mercy on us your children we are indeed sinners and help us to be at peace with you whenever it will be our turn to come back to you.Amen
Are you implying that Enoch is not ALWAYS ready that was why the poor man was shivering at the prospects of seeing his Maker huh

Is it normal and part of a pilot's training/ procedures to announce imminent crash of the plane. Then come put jara of fire fighters join am shocked

This same Enoch who told the story of how he drove 300 kms without petrol. That is more than the distance between Lagos-Ilorin for example and happened way back when petrol stations did not have scarcity.

In short, to any critical thinker and rational analyst, Enoch is a LIAR adept at scamming his gullible followers who prefer to wait on God to bless them and/or deal with their enemies instead of using their God-given intelligence to resolve their problems.

Abi, is this not what our 'superior' fellow homo sapiens with longer nose do now, such that we Nigerians are queueing up for their visas to go on voluntary slavery and become socio-economic EXILES huh

Why is she suing NYPD and the city department of education and not the teacher or the school?
See how hungry this mother is
She is looking for deep pockets and hoping for a pay off on her loss
Life (and this case) is not & should not be all about money!!!
It is sad, very sad that this is coming from someone who claims to be living in the US since many decades ago.
I guess the saying you take the girl from the village but you may not be able to take the village from the girl is true afterall.

Why sue the teacher who is an AGENT of the New York LGA huh
If the case goes through the New York LGA will learn to improve its teacher recruitment, training and motivation arrangements and ANALYSE the direct & remote causes of the teenage girl's demise to ensure there is no repeat of such tragic occurrence, nor be so?

When shall we stop behaving like un-evolved PRIMITIVE apes huh
