author=LocalChamp]We will expose corrupt senators – Mark
On July 8, 2012 · In News 12:50 amEmail1

By HENRY UMORU

SENATE President David Mark has vowed to expose corrupt senators and
those engaged in acts capable of tarnishing the image of the National
Assembly.

Mark stressed that no amount of blackmail will deter the institution
from carrying out its oversight functions. He, however, cautioned
members of the public against compromising lawmakers in the discharge
of their duties, stressing that the National Assembly will continue to
clear itself in its strong determination to meet the expectations of the
electorate.

Speaking at the National Assembly-Private Sector Forum organised by the
Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) in Lagos, the Senate
president noted that allegation of corruption against the National
Assembly was exaggerated.

According to him, “There are those who say that the National Assembly
takes the bunch of the budget. This is very ridiculous. I know that what
goes to the National Assembly is not more than 2.5% of the total
budget. The National Assembly members are always accused of corruption
but Nigerians ,to a large extent ,are responsible for this alleged
corruption.

”If a businessman gives a bribe to a lawmaker, is it only the lawmaker
that is corrupt? If the business man didn’t offer the bribe, the
lawmaker will not accept. But the question remains: Why did he accept
it? If our National Assembly members are found wanting, we will
discipline them.

“We will clean our house to earn the respect of those that elected us
into our respective offices. We will continue to clean our house and
those who bring us to shame will get their punishment accordingly.”

Stressing that the legislature as an arm of government is on a steady
growth and improving by each legislative day, Mark recalled that the
level of rancour that characterized the legislative houses between 1999
and 2003 has been reduced.

“We would continue to improve on legislative business until we attain a
level where the average Nigerian will be satisfied with our
performance”, he said.

Politics / Re: Shehu Sani: I Know Who Can End Boko Haram Menace by Bastiger(m): 10:27am On Jul 08, 2012
bayooooooo: I
Know Who Can End Boko Haram Menace, Says Sani



Alleges Saboteurs Within Jonathan Administration

IF claims by the leader of the Northern Civil Society Coalition, Mallam
Shehu Sani are anything to go by, it may take only a phone call from the
Presidency to put an end to the Boko Haram menace ravaging the North.

According to Sani, if President Jonathan calls him today, he would give
him the name and contact of one person whose intervention will lead to a
successful dialogue with the militant sect.

Sani who spoke in an interview with The Guardian during the week,
insisted that indeed, the person in question is somebody also known to
the president.

“… I have repeatedly said that if President Jonathan can make a phone
call to me today and ask me of one person who can solve the problem, I
will give him the name of the person. And apart from the person, I don’t
see the possibility of any other person whom the group can trust,” the
activist declared.

Sani also indicted some elements in the Jonathan government over the
failure of past attempts at dialogue, saying these persons may have been
sabotaging such efforts either in the mistaking belief that force can
solve the problem or because they are deriving some pecuniary gains from
the situation.

“Boko Haram has agreed to a term of ceasefire, has agreed to dialogue,
but has consistently been undermined by elements within the government
who either choose to do so on the grounds that they believe the use of
force can end the group or are sabotaging dialogue because they believe
they are profiting from the system as it is.

“Before now, I used to think that Boko Haram was completely opposed to
peace or ceasefire, but in the few occasions that I have been involved
in seeking a way out of this problem, I have seen that much of the
sabotage came from the side of the government,” he said

Confirming reports that he facilitated former President Obasanjo’s
meeting with the family of a member of the Boko Haram sect sometime ago,
Sani insisted that if the Federal Government showed sincere, dialogue
could sooner than later end the activities of the militant sect.

NYSC / Re: NYSC Posting: FG Insists On North Deployment by Bastiger(m): 8:25am On Jul 07, 2012
cold: FG insists
on posting corps members to the north



The Federal Government has given the assurance of the safety of all
corps members across the country during the mandatory National Youth
Corp Service (NYSC).

This was made known on Wednesday at the end of the Federal Executive
Council (FEC) meeting.

This is in reaction to the rejection by some newly posted corps members
to some troubled states in the North Eastern region of the country.

Answering questions from state house correspondents after the FEC
meeting, the Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, said the
government places premium on safety of corps members, adding that it was
the responsibility of the government to ensure they are safe wherever
they are deployed.

http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/07/04/fec-insists-on-deployment-of-corp-members-to-the-north-assures-their-protection/


this statement is annoyingly disgusting,they have given assurance of the safety all corp members posted to troubled areas? F.ucking hypocrites,so corp members are now sacrificial lambs ehn?when Gej openly made a statement that he cannot go to those boko haram states,he chaired a meeting that resolved to send corp members to certain death...useless people that has lost grip of the situation,safety my a.s.s

Politics / Re: Boko Haram On Yoruba Soil Is A Declaration Of War - OPC by Bastiger(m): 1:48pm On Jun 24, 2012
Seunn11: igbos are
the greatest casualties among the southerners affected by boko haram so
far. Yet, they prefer to stay in the north or move to south west. The
reason could be attributed to the fact that their native land, i.e south
east of Nigeria is:

1. Over-crowded
2. Infested with diseases,
3. Having no or very little economic opportunities,
4. Socially backward
5. Having rampant cases of kidnapping
6. Higher rate of armed robbery than anywhere else in Africa
7. tradittionaly known for cannibalism. The darker ones among the igbos
prefer not to go back to states like Imo, Abia, and Ebonyi as they
would be barbequed.
8. Land-locked.

It is therefore more reasonable for them to claim other people's land.



Amidst all the reasons you gave,many of your kith and kin actually reside in the south east and are very comfortable despite the fact that the area is"disease infested and cannibalism is being practised there".i am left with no conclusion that:
(1) you are as ignorant as they come.
(2) you need help;and fast because you sound delusional.
(3) your bigotry is so glaring in your write up.
(4) it's people with hearts and mindsets like you that have stagnated this country for so many years,people who do not appreciate or see anything good in their fellow humans
(5) i bet you are also ignorant of the fact that quite a good number of your kith and kin reside in the north and have refused to go home hoping things will get better,does it mean the south west is overpopulated or disease infested? In conclusion let me leave you with what Abraham Lincoln said and i quote"it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt".
