Gbawe: @OP.



Rev.Ugolor, the rights activists, has already stated what you do now when he opined that GEJ is now only listening to and empowering those who "carry guns". He lamented that "we do not carry guns so no one will listen to us".

What is happening cumulatively in the SS (monumental oil bunkering, militants and thugs becoming increasingly influential in controlling politics/government offices/contracts et al) will be very difficult to reverse. It is something good sons and daughters of the region should face proactively. GEJ's love of associating with and empowering criminals is not accidental. It is deliberate and part of a nefarious "might is right" plan that will become clearer as we move towards 2015 - much like the evil input of Odili that helped birth militancy which has gone on to create kidnapping and other unwanted evil Nigeria cannot now put back in the box. Many callous killers with no value for human life, like Soboma George et al, were created. Now they are being deliberately absorbed into the political process and given influence to control the lives of many. Ditto for Boko Haram up North. If amnesty had happened, perhaps Shekau, Kabiru Sokoto et al may be contesting to be Nigerians Governor soon.

The good people of the SS should learn from how OBJ virtually destroyed the SW with his version of what GEJ is doing now whereby illiterates like Adedibu cowered transformational and talented technocrats to then foist their uneducated and backward ways on a society that should be modern and driven by first class minds/ideas as is the case elsewhere.

All States and regions of Nigeria should be beyond a stage where motor park touts (Tokyo, Auxillary et al) and militant warlords (Tompolo, General Boyloaf, Ateke Tom et al) , plus terrorists like Shekau, cower good people only to be rewarded for such aberrant behaviour by being put positions where they gain power, huge financial rewards and influence. This is not being done in any progressive nation of the world today. None at all.

What is seen in Nigeria is only being witnessed in Somalia and other failed/failing nations. We must be very careful in Nigeria because criminals innately enjoy chaos, disorder and a disregard for what is best for the majority. When you put them in position of power, vis a vis the running of a State and a Nation, you are asking for trouble.
Am in 100%believe/support of what u said...unfortunately fewer nigerians seem to think for there selves and have a clear sight of the bigger Picture especially the youth..we are half educated,brainwashed, hungry and easily manipulated.

PoliticsKano Gov Shuns Jonathan, Sambo At Abuja Event by bappahman(op): 8:15am On Aug 17, 2013
Kano State Governor Rabiu
Kwankwaso shunned President
Goodluck Jonathan on Friday in Abuja,
during an award/gala night organised
by the National Council of Women
Societies in collaboration with the
Office of the First Lady.
Kwankwaso, who was one of the five
northern governors that had met with
political leaders on the crisis in the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party, played a hide-
and-seek with Jonathan, Sambo and the
party’s National Chairman, Alhaji
Bamanga Tukur, at the event.
He refused to join other governors, who
were on the same table with him when
they all moved to the President’s table to
exchange pleasantries with him; his wife,
Patience; Sambo and his wife, Amina.
Tukur and the Chairman of the PDP
Governors Forum, Godswill Akpabio, were on the table beside that of the President.
The governors, who went to pay homage
included Olusegun Mimiko (Ondo); Peter
Obi (Anambra); Adams Oshiomhole (Edo);
Theodore Orji (Abia); Jonah Jang
(Plateau); and Idris Wada (Kogi).
Others were the acting governor of
Taraba, Garba Umar, and the deputy
governor of Bayelsa, John Jonah.
Only Kwankwaso and his deputy,
Abdullahi Ganduje, remained on their
seats.
The governor also refused to recognise
the presence of the President during the
presentation of awards to the governors.
All the governors who received awards,
on stepping down from the podium, moved to the President for a handshake before
returning to their seats.
But immediately Kwankwaso collected
his award, he looked the other way,
stepped down from the podium and
returned to his seat.

They said we are nobody. Then they have seen. When you are dealing with nobody, be careful. The nobody will show you that he is somebody. We will make sure they will not sleep again. As they are sleeping, they will not sleep with their two eyes closed. One eye will be open, because they know there is danger.”
You won’t believe it but this statement was made by a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The minister of state for education, Mr Nyesom Wike, who is at the centre of the crisis in Rivers State with the clear support of the president, Goodluck Jonathan, and the co-president, Patience Jonathan, now operates above the law in the state. To worsen the joke, he has even declared for the governorship of the state. It is very hard to believe that a serving minister would make that kind of statement and still be kept in the cabinet by the president. But that has been our lot since Jonathan became president.

PoliticsAs Nigeria Runs Out Of Cash by bappahman(op): 5:08am On Jul 29, 2013
A few days ago, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-
Iweala, the finance minister, alerted
us to the fact that the nation would
soon run out of money to run itself.
She hid under the alibi of the theft
of crude oil, bunkering and pipeline
vandalism. But there’s more to what
the coordinating minister for the
economy was willing to divulge.
What she should have been very
straightforward about is the level of
barefaced stealing that is taking
place in all facets of the Goodluck
Jonathan government that could
soon kill all of us. But let’s even
discuss the oil theft, pipeline
vandalism and bunkering that she
talked about.
The first question any normal
person would ask is why we should
continue to experience oil theft and
pipeline vandalism after President
Jonathan has so scandalously
awarded the contract for pipeline
protection to militants and vandals.
Why should anyone be surprised
that the level of vandalism of oil
pipes under President Jonathan is
already threatening the survival of
the nation? There will certainly be
pipeline vandalism if you place the
pipelines under the “protection” of
vandals. That’s Common Sense
101. Even an idiot should know
that. And if you award contracts for
the security of our oil resources to
oil thieves, what do you expect?
What do thieves do anyway? The
answer to this is clear to everyone
except to President Jonathan, it
seems. The president is even lucky
that no one is accusing him of
complicity. At least not yet, but, if
this uncontrolled theft continues, it
will not be long before that starts
happening. The president has been
urging leaders of western nations to
come and help him fight the
criminals stealing our oil. Why
shouldn’t he then resign his office
and hand over the running of the
country to these foreign leaders?
Okonjo-Iweala said 400,000
barrels was being stolen daily.
Other credible authorities have put
the figure at more than 800,000
barrels on a good day for the
thieves. And it is clear that if
Jonathan does not wake up from
his long slumber, the amount of oil
stolen daily will surpass the amount
left to run the country.
I don’t even know whether
Jonathan understands the job
description of the office of president
of a nation. I cannot imagine how
someone can be president and yet
keeps asking other people to do the
job of president for him. That is
how, not long ago, Jonathan called
on General Muhammadu Buhari to
help him fix the Boko Haram crisis.
And now he is asking foreign
leaders to help him solve the
problem of oil theft, bunkering and
pipeline vandalism. Maybe the
president will soon call on APC
leaders to help him solve the
problem of massive corruption in
his government, which by the way
is the real reason his government is
running out of cash. Pipeline
vandalism and oil theft are surely
bleeding the economy but it is the
corruption within the Jonathan
government (which includes the oil
theft anyway) that has virtually
grounded the economy.
How would you not run out of cash
when N1.6 trillion has been stolen
in the name of fuel subsidy in one
single year, and, now that election
talk is in the air again, the whole
stealing process is about to start all
over again simply because nothing
happened to the thieves of the last
election season? And somebody is
surprised that Nigeria is running out
of cash? Why should the nation not
run out of cash when over N100
billion of pension funds has been
stolen and the federal government
appears to be protecting some of
the thieves? How won’t Nigeria run
out of cash when it has been
estimated that an average of $1
billion is stolen daily from the
nation’s coffers without
consequences? Until Jonathan
begins to define corruption as a
serious transgression against the
nation and its people, he is going to
drive Nigeria over the precipice. At
the moment, he does not think
corruption is a crime at all, and his
lips and body language have given
him away on the matter.
Whenever anyone attempts to talk
to him about the stinking corruption
around him, he gets visibly upset.
Not too long ago, in response to
those complaining about the
corruption in his government, he
declared that those who accused
his government of corruption were
more corrupt. That’s wonderful!
What that means in plain language
is that he accepts the fact that his
government is corrupt; but even
more troubling is what he didn’t
say: if he knows those who are
“more corrupt” than his government,
what has he done? On another
occasion, he declared that he does
not “give a damn” on a vital issue
regarding the fight against
corruption. And, as his own seminal
contribution to the art and science
of governance, he recruited a
militant who had been implicated in
the theft of oil and handed the
maritime security of the nation to
him without any hint of irony or
compunction. He then shared
pipeline security contracts to other
militants. And this man is surprised
that the nation is being stolen dry?
Sometimes, governance and
leadership is a simple matter of
common sense.
Maybe it is better for the nation to
finally collapse under the weight of
this free-for-all stealing that is
currently going on. Maybe, just
maybe, that is the trigger we need
before we finally experience our
own “Arab Spring”.

PoliticsAfro Barometer/cleen Foundation Report: Nigeria’s Economy Worse Under Jonathan by bappahman(op): 9:55am On Jun 26, 2013
The nation’s economy has further
nosedived under the President
Goodluck Jonathan-led federal
government, lower than at any other
time since 1999, a recent report has
revealed.
In a swift reaction, however, the
presidency said that the performance
of the economy cannot be measured
by survey.
The report is the outcome of a survey
conducted by the CLEEN
Foundation, a Nigerian non-
governmental organisation, in
collaboration with the Afrobarometer
Network, a pan- African network of
survey researchers and analysts,
and the Centre for Democratic
Development (CDD), Ghana.
Presenting the report to newsmen
yesterday, the vice-chairman of the
CLEEN Foundation, Prof. Etannibi
Alemika, disclosed that the current
survey is the fifth in a series of
surveys conducted from 1999 when
the country regained her democracy.
The recent Afrobarometer survey in
Nigeria says that a majority of the
citizens (67 per cent) describe the
present economic condition of the
country as very bad and fairly bad.
Only 8 per cent say the economy is
neither good nor bad and 25 per cent
say the economy is very good and
fairly good.
“About 42 per cent of the citizens
said their present personal living
condition is very bad or fairly bad, 14
per cent say their present personal
living condition is neither good nor
bad and another 42 per cent also
agree that their personal living
condition is neither good nor bad.
“The survey also revealed that a
majority of Nigerians rated the
present government as having
performed poorly in the general
management of the economy as well
as the management of specific
economic indicators. 81 per cent of
Nigerians assessed government’s
performance in managing the
economy as very bad and fairly bad;
only 19 per cent assessed the
government’s performance as very
well and fairly well.
“85 per cent of Nigerians think the
present government has performed
very badly in improving the living
standard of the poor while only 15
per cent think the government is
doing very well in improving the
living condition of the poor.”
The survey further revealed that the
majority (85 per cent) think the
present government has performed
“very badly or fairly badly” in
improving the living standards of the
poor, while only 15 per cent think the
government is doing “very well or
fairly well” in improving the living
standards of the poor.
According to Alemika, the Round 5
of the survey covered 35 African
countries, measuring public
perception and attitude to democracy
and its alternative and evaluates the
quality of governance and economic
performance. He said the field work
for the round was conducted from
October 29 to November 30, 2012,
during which 2,400 adult Nigerians
were interviewed with a result
margin of 95 per cent confidence
level.
The survey which also focused on
the citizens’ perception of the police
revealed that a majority of Nigerians
believe that it is very difficult to
obtain help from the police. “Majority
of the citizens think government has
performed very badly in reducing
crime and resolving violent conflict
between communities.
When contacted over the matter, the
senior special assistant on public
affairs to the president, Dr Doyin
Okupe, told LEADERSHIP last night
that economic development of any
country is not measured through
survey.
Okupe said he would be constrained
to react to a survey report by
Afrobarometer (CLEEN Foundation)
without verifiable and scientific
survey. He added that he will only
rely on credible organisations like
the International Monetary Fund and
Fitch Ratings.
He said: “Economy of any country is
not measured through any survey. A
country’s economy is measured by
the gross domestic product (GDP),
inflation rate, foreign exchange
stability, unemployment, foreign
reserves, among other indicators.”
However, the executive director of
CLEEN Foundation, Kemi
Okenyodo, said the purpose of
Afrobarometer is to measure popular
perspectives on the social, political,
and economic environments in each
country where it is implemented and
across Africa.
She said the goal is to give the
public a voice in policymaking
processes by providing high-quality
public opinion data to policymakers,
policy advocates and civil society
organisations, academics, media,
donors, investors and ordinary
Africans.
