alj boko haram, the parasite who is happy to hear that Shell assassinates Nigerians, yet is unwilling to to partner our development.
What more can be expected of a man who eats grass?

The almajiri line has sadly lengthened.

alj harem:
Shut up, what has Saro wiwa got to do with the government doing her Job ?

If you are not a government agent, why not explain to us as you did doing the protest how removing the subsidy would translate to building of refineries by private multinational companies ? Mumu

I wonder how some dum.b Nigerian would keep listening to you

Hello parasite. The above is the exact sound of a parasite.

Boko Haram: JAMB may cancel exams in Borno, other volatile states

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, has said there will be no Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in the volatile states in northern Nigeria.

Ojerinde made the announcement on Friday in Abuja while speaking with reporters at the 58th National Council on Education (NEC) meeting.

According to him, JAMB will be forced to cancel the examination if the Boko Haram attacks on primary and secondary schools in Borno State continue.

“When we reviewed the situation in volatile states, for instance Borno, we realised that some of the schools are being bombed, but our investigations showed that only primary schools are affected and not secondary schools.

“The board will be left with no option than to tell the candidates to go elsewhere to write the exams if schools which serve as centres are attacked.’’

The registrar regretted that the development could be quite unfortunate for the students.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Boko Haram had on February 28 attacked four primary schools in Maiduguri, setting the Gomari Costain Primary School and a section of the Maiduguri Experimental School, Kawanar on fire.

They also set ablaze Budum Kulo Gomna Primiary Schools and Abba Ganaram Primary School also in Maiduguri.

Meanwhile, three suspected Boko Haram members died on Friday after an explosion at a bomb factory in Kaleri, Maiduguri.

Col. Victor Ebhaleme, the Field Commander of the Joint Task Force (JTF) on Operation Restore Order (ORO), told newsmen in Maiduguri that the incident happened at about 10.30 a.m.

He said residents of the area were attracted by the big sound in a residential area at Kaleri and they alerted the JTF.

“On arrival, our men discovered mutilated bodies of three persons suspected to be Boko Haram militants. Apparently, they died while preparing the bombs.”

Ebhaleme added that several unexploded Improvised Explosive Device (IED) were also found in the house, which was completely destroyed by the blast.

“Several bomb making apparatus were also found in the house,’’ he said.

It is best for us to kick Shell out.
The Chinese have been building refineries all over the place without bringing up stup!d and insulting excuses. When it was time to kill Saro Wiwa, they didn't make any excuses.

I de laff ooo!

See the hypocrite called Gbawe that just some weeks ago was hailing boko harams "stomach" has now turned his faecal politics toward playing the victim. Just a few weeks ago, he was regailing us with how Jonathan would be overthrown or even killed by the "owners of Nigeria" of which he claimed to be one).
Just a few weeks ago, the fool was in the habit of starting threads to gloat over each boko haram death. What a monster!
Today, he wants to play little Bo Peep who has lost her sheep.

Yesterday, he was ram packed with tales of racial and numerical superiority, just that in his excitement, he completely forgot about who pays his bills; so today, the fool whose mouth has multiple arses is here to deceive teenagers about true federalism. On what planet does anyone, but a parasite claim that true federalism entails becoming even more dependent on awuf oil money than previously? Why would anyones most creative thoughts about development be about how to present a bigger beggars bowl? People like Gbawe have no shame.

Gbawe:
keep watching buddy. We will see who has overestimated their touted strenght within a Nigeria where the stomach, and not enduring principles, is king[b] today[/b]. [size=14pt]Boko Haram has been butchering Nigerians from all walks of life so far.

[size=14pt]Right now, the "owners of Nigeria" will do and undo , plus give the lead, while all Nigeria will follow as is the case so far !!!

Some people think they will call, "fisherman!" and we will answer, "yes sir!"
Phuck you and whatever alms begging skills you bring to the table.

Phuck you ACN bastards and whatever Obj did.[size=14pt] Afterall, Obj is a PDP man.[/size]
Do you remember the quote below? it is causing you big problems now. Again phuck you:

Tinubu mustered the temerity to call the President of Nigeria a drunkard, a sinking fisherman. This was how Tinubu put it: “I think the President is wrong because that is an insult to our parents. It is a speech from a drunk sailor fisherman whose boat is about to capsize. That is an insult to our parents; you don’t come to this land, seek our votes and then insult our parents that they raised rascals”.


What, you may wonder, did the Nigerian President say to merit the verbal diarrhea? [b]This was what the President said at a campaign rally in Ibadan:  “In 2007, I came here with former President Yar’Adua to beg for your votes and you gave us your support. We owe you for that. In December 2010, I returned to beg for your delegates’ votes at the congress and you voted for me massively. We are here again to solicit for the support of the entire people of the state.

I must tell you that the South-West is a very important zone in the country. It is becoming the most cosmopolitan zone in the country. About 50 per cent of the people in Lagos alone are not from the South-West. In Ogun State, about 25 per cent of the citizens are not from the South-West. This is not to talk about Oyo and other states. Anything that happens here affects the entire nation and so, the region must be taken seriously. I can assure you that we will take back Lagos, Ekiti and Osun; we will control the entire South-West. Lagos is important to us and I am happy that we have presented our flag to a capable candidate, [Dr Ade] Dosunmu. The entire South-West is too important, too sophisticated and too educated to be in the hands of rascals”[/b].

[quote author=Odu-toda-iwa link=topic=884567.msg10315683#msg10315683 date=1330705361]It is only a fool that will think that [b]Lagos state depends on handout from the FG. As a matter of fact, Lagos gets less that one tenth of it's contribution to the national purse. [/b]Import duties from Lagos ports for a quarter is more than allocations from FG for a year. If not for share hatred and gross stupidity nobody should make such comments.

For those "soon to become self liabilities" who fail to do what is necessary NOW! rather keep on harping about "absolute resource control". Remember when those you love to hate become the custodian of 58% of the National treasury you won't have the moral right to ask for power devolution then.[/quote]See lying and talking rubbish with confido!

[size=14pt]Up ACN progresssssssssives![/size]

When will the bloody state governors actually start generating money instead of relying on awuf?

We hear the ACN governors always blabbing about devolution of power to the states, but we never hear how they aim to generate money outside of Abuja begging. Don't people feel ashamed of these things?

I am sick and tired of hearing all this empty talk. Right now, I demand to know how ALL states and LG's intend to make money for a living and create wealth and development for their citizens.

Lol! Its so funny how any talks between SS and SE peeps really exercises parasites like alj haram (a true fungal infection).

It shows one thing; the path we are on really alarms the knickers off the "owners of Nigeria."
They recognise and quake at the formidable force that both regions getting together would represent, it is saddening though that we still have some amongst us who are too scared and taken in by myths and fairytales to seize their own destinies from hateful strangers.

jaybee:
What is the point of this poster?

take a good look at the emphasized part of this write up. GEJ promised almajiri schools during his campaign. let him fulfil the promise. the 19 state governments did not promise almajiri schools. they promised other things according to their needs. let them fulfil their promises. the state governments do not have budgets for this "promised schools". GEJ should not make a promise and impose it on the state governments. will he fund the running of the schools?

This is a scam by GEJ and his cronies.

out of 400 schools promised "one of the contractors assured that the project would be handed over next month" haba GEJ!

what of the airports promised by GEJ in each state of the federation? will he also hand them over to the states?

GEJ wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After creating 10 million almajiri's, those states should be extremely grateful for the free schools they are getting. They had better start learning to take care of their own shiit, next thing we will hear that kids didn't go to school because they didn't 13% derivation awuf.

Lol! Now we won't see Gbawe and his red-eyed desperation.

Thieves.

The Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, has rejected the plan by the Federal Government to allocate additional 600 mass transit buses to labour under its Subsidy Reinvestment Programme, SURE-P, saying that the action was not a product of genuine dialogue with the congress.

Vice President of the union and Chairman Labour Transport Company, LTC, Comrade Issa Aremu who made this known said the earlier understanding was that the Federal Government would make funds available to reputable transport companies including the LTC under the SURE-P to procure vehicles and [b]not necessarily to procure same and dump with such transporters.[/b]

Choi! Unu de see di sontin wen I de see?
NLC peeps had wanted the raw cash handed over to them for kill and divide.

Bloody thieves.

ChinenyeN:
When I say Briggs' and Dokubo's, I am not talking about the leaders. I am talking about the understanding. As well-respected as these leaders are, it does not take away from the fact that their understand is not at all pervasive throughout ND. That is my simple point. Now, if these leaders are so well-respected, enough that they can actually mold ND understanding, then congratulations to them. Maybe SE and SS could actually stand the chance of forming an alliance. But until then, it remains irresponsible for any Igbo to allow their words to inspire a false sense of brotherhood.

In any alliance, it is the leaders that matter. Whatever they say holds, so long as they are in touch with their roots.
No one can argue that the names mentioned so far are out of touch with their folk.

The aspect that is outstanding in some ways, is political payback. The SS must wholly back the SE when the tables are turned; that is an axiety that can be understood. However the political rebuilding of the SE is already taking off on so many fronts and it is currently driven by the SS (who got there thanks to the SE), therefore fears of the future of the alliance should be allayed.

The civil thing to do is to listen to them and espouse the wisdom in their opinions. ephomoghia (who da heck is he anyway?) must have hit a raw nerve of yours, I will look for his posts to see what da heck got your attention.

hint hint, your very own governors will thwart any attempt by you all to wrestle power away from them. They will throw you in jail and even use tanks and kill you if you take things too far. You people need to start learning how to operate in a democracy and give up your rascality and hero worship of know terrorists.[/quote]You mean that by saying ephomoghia is ndu_chucks in disguise, I am demonising him? Lolzzzzzzzzzzz!
So you believe that you are a demon, or how do we interpret your words?

Talking about operating within a democracy; you need to call boko haram to order before advising others. Seen?

ChinenyeN:
ND is not filled with Beaf's, who are characteristically reasonable. No. Instead, ND is filled with ephomoghia's and worse. My position here is simple. All that the Briggs' and Dokubo's say is nothing but propaganda. The Briggs', Dokubo's, and Beaf's are a miniscule minority, in ND, and it would be irresponsible for anyone to allow their words to shape the conception of the SE/SS relationship (if there even exists any such thing).

Really? As soon as I read ephomoghia's post, a single word popped into my mind; ndu_chucks.
If you are sentimental, then the ephomoghia's and ndu_chucks will wrap you around their little finger.

To the best of my knowledge, the Briggs' and Dokubo's are well respected leaders and are listened to in the ND.
I am truly interested to know who you imagine would shape the ND's future (or speak for it) outside of its current leaders.

ChinenyeN:
Beaf, it is my understanding that you are not a fool, and that you are capable of discerning matter-of-fact statements from deliberate exaggerations. Do not prove me wrong with any more responses like this. You have a brain, and you should, by now, be familiar with enough of my understanding to know that there is nothing like "my type". So, when you finish with your premature laughter, feel free to go back to that post and then engage your brain, as I know you to be able to.

Crap.

You are the one who used terms like "negligible territories," not stopping there, you even went on to claim "hatred" for the Ikwere.
I don't understand what you mean by exaggeration. Have you suddenly realised the import of the horrible words you uttered? If you like, burst with anger at being pointed out.

Dude, you can remain in your primitive mould, looking down on others, feeling racially superior; while laying out a future that is unbalanced with deranged foundations. Even if we end up not allying (not for your type to decide), let there be mutual respect.

"That?" . . .Ambiguity is strictly forbidden in the software World.
Can a man who doesn't know what a design or technical spec is possibly grasp software engineering concepts like Agile or XP?
Just my twopence.

I'm outa here.

@OnlyTruth
You have spoken so well. God has blessed you with the wisdom of Solomon.

Nobody is expecting the other to become an underdog, rather nature and reality have thrust the SE/SS on a train to a shared destiny. If we cannot ally with our neighbours, who then would we ally with? And after we have allied with the ones from afar, why would the snubbed neighbour not become a piercing thorn in our trajectory?

The more the SE/SS look on the other with suspicion, the more those who subjugate us to extort our birthright will succeed.

@Kc3000
You mentioned that NdIgbo had a brotherhood with the ND in the past. As far as I know, this is illusory, yet it keeps getting mentioned.

I don't know how you measure what you call the ND, but if it is by culture, then the ND is a vast area covering several cultures. The Ijaws are the largest and formed the bulk of MEND troops, but they are not the only ones, neither was MEND a 100% Ijaw thing; it was a collective struggle of the ND peoples against subjugation. If it is by the Ijaw, then the Ijaw I know have big hearts.
If it is by oil production, then the Itsekiri produce more onshore oil than any other ethnic group. If it is by gas, then the Urhobo and Isoko produce the most.
The bottom line is that we in the ND share the same destiny and the same subjugation.

Looking across to Igbo land, it is easy to see the exact same pattern of deprivation, politically, socially and in FG investments. There is a level of neglect that can only be described as criminal. Politics is a game of shared interests, and we share the same interests of throwing off the yoke of slavery; so why not ally? Politics is also not a game for spectators; you get in it to win it. So why not ally to become a formidable adversary, why cling to emotions and peep in from over the fence, as strangers who hate you forge your childrens tomorrow?

You also claimed that the ND allied with the Igbo when they were a "formidable force in Nigeria." I do not recall such an alliance from my neck of the woods; but if there ever was one based on the tennets you mentioned, then it was on a one-way journey to failure. You know your true friends when you are down, not when you are a "formidable force in Nigeria." Alliances must be built on openness, equity and truth.

Alliances expand your "territory."

ChinenyeN: Igbo should remain mindful of advances made by negligible territories [/b]and careful with the way it associates with [b]the negligible territories. In fact, I like the way Obiagu put it (though soft words, in my opinion); treat statements made by the "Briggs' and Dokubo's" with utmost caution.

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you envisioning, when you think about 2015? Can you expand upon the decisiveness of it all, as you see it, of course?

Lol!

It is easy to spot swollen bubbles pumped up with their own fart (its a self pumping miracle).
All I will say is, "hello insignificant Hitler."

Your type will always convulse in the bitterness you are trying to rope others into. Lol @"negligible territories."

[size=14pt]The hypocrisy in calls for Sovereign National Conference[/size]
Written by Mohammad Qaddam Sidq Isa Friday, 24 February 2012 05:00

Nigeria’s political landscape has oscillated along the indices of relative stability and instability ever since the country’s independence. However, it is obvious that, even during its relatively best circumstances, it has never been smooth enough, which has stirred debates on the imperative or otherwise of convening a sovereign national conference to review the country’s terms of corporate existence.

In Nigeria’s largely dirty political game, where nothing including conscience is beyond compromise and/or manipulation, the so-called sovereign national conference issue has itself been manipulated as a tool for political blackmailing and intimidation by some largely desperate politicians and other elites, who have lost out in the game to reclaim their (though largely ill-gotten) relevance.

Notwithstanding where one stands with respect to the call for convening such a conference, it is obvious that the inconsistency of its proponents is too obvious that it implies their hypocrisy. Being largely ideologically bankrupt and uncreative intellectually hence incapable of proposing, advocating and following through realistic alternatives, they simply drive on regional and ethnic emotions to manoeuvre their ways to achieving their personal interests.

They have always disguised as patriotic members of their respective ethnic groups to bring up and push for convening the conference, giving the impression that it is the only panacea to the country’s predicament. Incidentally, however worse the country’s predicament is, most of such proponents of the SNC have in the past been actively involved in creating and/or exacerbating it.


What is particularly hypocritical of them is that, when they are in the system, and no matter how rotten it is, they dismiss any call for such a conference only to switch side when they are removed or lose out. For instance, Olu Falaye was rightly considered one of the principal architects of IBB’s disastrous economic policies, and Oladipo Diya was not only Abacha’s second in command but was actually one of the masterminds undermining and frustrating any move to enthrone MKO Abiola; his own tribesman, as Nigeria’s President though he was widely believed to have won the 1993 presidential election.

Moreover, they seem to be too dull to realize how they frustrate one another, because by the time some of them lose out hence switch side some others have already got there and are busy sharing the loot hence would not only tolerate any distraction but are even prepared to go to any extent in order to maintain the continuation of the status-quo, until they also lose out for others to call the shots and do the same, and the same circle and scenario continue.

So, probably once President Jonathan and indeed the entire southern politicians and even some of those who come from the north central currently calling the shots leave their offices, they would switch side and transform into self-acclaimed regional champions claiming to be pushing for restructuring the country’s structure for better benefit for their people. However, they would also be frustrated as another set of politicians would have by then already stuck their own fangs in the nation’s blood vein sucking as much or even worse as their predecessors.

Interestingly, perhaps it is only in Nigeria where a person who has held influential positions in national level including presidency would after leaving office relegate himself into a mere ethnic bigot and/or regional champion.

Yet what baffles and indeed saddens me is how these crooks get away with such crude tactics by deluding their people into believing them. Their people should wonder why these so-called ethnic and regional champions did not seriously push for their strategic regional interests when they were in the position of power in the first place. How I wish their people realized that such so-called ethnic champions are mere bloody opportunists, who are not prepared to sacrifice even their positions for the sake of their course even if there is one at all.


Incidentally, though I despise making specific references to ethnic groups especially in terms of comparison between them, however in analyzing Nigeria’s peculiar socio-political environment one sometimes finds himself compelled do so, so as to make his point clear enough.

This is quite necessary because as I pointed out earlier, such controversial elements largely operate under their respective regional and/or ethnic platforms, for which they set up various so-called umbrella organizations to purportedly represent the voice of their respective tribesmen.

Yoruba for instance have Afenifere while Ndigbo have Ohanaeze Nd’Igbo and both have their own militia i.e. OPC and MOSOB respectively. By the way, much to the credit of Hausa-Fulani ethnic group, they are the only major ethnic group in the country, who don’t have any ethnic based organizations to represent them let alone an umbrella organization for that matter.


Afenifere and its like-minded individuals for instance have been particularly deceptive and blackmailing. They have always tricked their arch-rivals; Ohanaeze Nd’Igbo into joining them to push for an agenda of purported common interest, only to double-cross them at the end and get away with it.

They had also managed to blackmail the north into making that foolish decision to literally select Olusegun Obasanjo and manoeuvre him back into the presidency; the price of which the country at large is still paying. They largely succeed by manipulating the media sector in which they maintain a considerable control hence manipulate it in order to achieve their vested interests.

Incidentally, in as much as I believe in the option of radical restructure of the country’s corporate structure, I don’t see any credibility in those ethnically motivated movements. After all, they aren’t even that ethnic champions in reality, instead they simply disguise in ethnic colours to achieve their individuals’ goals.

So, if credible people-oriented movements actually, voluntarily and overwhelmingly choose to advocate for convening a sovereign national conference then so be it, after all, Nigeria’s remaining united or going divided is not and should not be a do or die issue.

This is even though it is obvious that the country has no better alternative to remaining united but with strict adherence to the principles and provisions of good governance, which is defined by accountability, transparency, competency and creativity. Because no matter how many entities the country is divided and/or subdivided into, the same people who have ruined it when it was called Nigeria will still ruin its breakaway entities whether they are called Oodua Republic, Republic of Biafra or whatever.

This article seems like image laundering now that Nigerians know what he all about (boko haram and awuf oil money).

[size=14pt]Nigeria: FG to Hand Over 100 Almajiri Schools By June[/size]
By Bukola Olatunji, 29 February 2012

About 100 of the 400 almajiri schools, promised by the Federal Government are to be handed over to the 19 Northern states by June, Minister of State for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike has said.

Wike, who disclosed this, during a courtesy call on the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar III, at his Palace yesterday, said this was in fulfilment of President Goodluck Jonathan's campaign promise of ensuring that Almajiri children were educated to contribute their quota to national development.

"The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the federal and state governments are therefore being worked out," he said. The minister was in the state to inspect the on-going construction of the Almajiri schools in Lambar Tureta and Badau communities in the state.

He expressed satisfaction with the level of work, saying the contracts were awarded last December and one of the contractors assured that the project would be handed over next month.

Responding, the Sultan said: "What the ministry is doing is what we have always thought of and what we believe must be done. Education is very important because this Sokoto caliphate was founded on knowledge. Our great grand fathers established this caliphate purely on knowledge. It is now our responsibility to foster this knowledge and clamour for it because without education, you cannot even practice your religion."

According to him, "he Almajiri issues has been a problem to all of us because people hide behind religion in the past. We should handle the Almajiri issue more seriously. We believe we have to educate people that Islam was never in support of Almajiri. Islam was never in support of begging."

Islam is a religion that believes that an individual must get up and work for himself and be a better person and not to depend on anybody. Issues of Almajiri and others must be eradicated and it can only be eradicated through knowledge. We want to commend the Federal Government for the initiative."

The Sultan also drew attention to the reported scrapping of History from primary and secondary schools curricula, saying "Only people without identity will forget their history." He also stressed the need to make Religious Study compulsory in order to tackle corruption.

http://allafrica.com/stories/201202290319.html

There can indeed be little coincidence in the sudden talkative nature of core-Northern leaders after the arrests of Abu qaqa and Kabiru Sokoto. It would seem that the boko haram trick is failing, so it is time to come out and directly demand money to go away (just call it "allocations" not a bribe).
