It is important to take those tablets 3 times a day after every meal (especially the big black ones). Your situation is getting worse.

[size=14pt]Nigeria: The 'Real Members' of Boko Haram![/size]
29 February 2012

opinion

OVER the months, while eminent citizens the world over have lamented and condemned the series of senseless killings, maiming, displacement of Nigerian citizens and the destruction of their property, occasioned by attacks by members of the Boko Haram sect, Northern leaders of thought kept mute.

But suddenly, they are talking. They are saying all kinds of things. This makes one to begin to wonder why the sudden burst of emotions.

It seems that the recent call by President Goodluck Jonathan on members of the Boko Haram sect to identify themselves, state the reasons behind their confrontational stance so the Federal Government could enter into dialogue with them, has somehow emboldened our Northern elites who until now were afraid to hear their own voices.

I recall that immediately after this call by Mr. President, they broke their long silence even before the so-called members of Boko Haram could say anything. Some of them have traced the causes of the insurgency and in the process have also justified its emergence. Some have even raised their voices in condemnation of the military action taken against the sect while endorsing the dialogue option proposed by the President.

The root causes according to these leaders are injustice, lack of fairness in the polity and imbalance in resource allocation. It looks like these 'talking' elites are doing a better job than the sect's spokespersons that we know. As an illustration, let us take a look at an article by Is'haq Modibbo Kawu, a social commentator and a Northern apologist in the Vanguard of Thursday, February 2, titled "Boko Haram and President Jonathan's olive branch of dialogue".

He wrote: "In Northern Nigeria, grievance and organisation of resistance to the state could only have been framed within the context of Islam given the history of the region. Here we have Borno's over 1000 year history as a Muslim state and the radical tradition which came out of the Jihad of Sheikh Usman Dan Fodio. To compound the situation, the Northeast part of Nigeria also suffers the worst indices of under-development in our country. This was the combustible mix that conditioned the rise of the Boko Haram insurgency".

Kawu's declaration quoted above is quite instructive. None of the named spokesmen of the sect has ever said this much. Again, what does his statement imply? Have we not heard it being said over and over that Boko Haram is not an Islamic sect and that it should not on any account be linked to Islam?

Another eminent personality in the person of the Central Bank governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi also recently broke his silence on the sect's insurgency. In an interview he granted the Financial Times of London he said that there is clearly a direct link between the uneven nature of distribution of resources and the rising level of violence in the country. He said: "When you look at the figures and look at the size of the population in the North, you can see that there is a structural imbalance of enormous proportions. Those states simply do not have enough money to meet basic needs while some states have too much money. The imbalance is so stark because the state still depends on oil for than 80 per cent of its revenue."

A respected Northern leader, Mallam Adamu Ciroma on his part, in an interview published in Thisday Newspaper of Saturday, January 28, 2012 , had this to say: "I was one of the four people who founded PDP, and when I was talking about PDP policy of zoning, of changing the leadership from North to South, I knew what I was talking about, I didn't hide it, I told them in caucus, and I warned them that if they depart from that, it is going to have very serious consequences for the party. And it has happened, and they know this. That is why after the elections I have kept quiet because everything which is happening I have already indicated and warned against them".

The Northern socio-political group, the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, is also insisting that it is only dialogue or nothing that will persuade the dreaded sect (Boko Haram) to end its confrontation against government and unprovoked violence against the Nigerian people.

In a press statement issued recently by the group, it maintained that no amount of force can stop Boko Haram. The group also went ahead to intimate us of what inspires the sect's members to engage in their destructive activities, saying that the highest commitment which drives these young people is no mundane things but rewards in heaven. Again, what we got from this ACF statement is something that the "original" spokespersons of the sect have never told us. Does this tell us anything?

Can someone please remind me, because I cannot recollect, if any of the Qaqas (Boko Haram spokesmen) had ever spoken about injustice, marginalisation, resource allocation or party zoning policies. I thought they were mainly concerned about the evil of Western education, Islamising Nigeria and promoting Islamic ideologies in the country. The Boko Haram members (the Mohammed Shekaus) do not seem to care so much about dialogue the way these elites are.

All "the sect's members" have said since the President's call (besides disowning the tape purportedly nominating some leaders to dialogue with FG on their behalf), is that Mr. President should first convert to Islam before they could talk with him.

By now you would have noticed as I have, that our Northern politicians and leaders are the only ones waving the flag of dialogue as the only panacea to peace in the region. In this call for dialogue, they know as well as you and I that the government cannot dialogue with illusive members of the sect or a faceless group.

So, who is the government to dialogue with? Please note also that in all their statements, they have not given government any conditions. In my mind, they have only met the President's conditions for dialogue. How? You ask. By speaking out the way they do, they have identified themselves.

It is a tough action that will bring pain to some, but the civil service is an avenue of waste and ghost workers. It needs to be trimmed down.
The fact is that many have seen govt as the only source of livelihood, which is a direct result of the unitary system we deceive ourselves is federalism. I don't know of any country that has so many federal civil servants (in most countries they are employed mainly by states and LG's).

It is obvious that we have reached the limits of what is possible from oil alone, somethings gotta give without the states and LG's chipping in.

“78% of the exploration is in the sea, how is the sea polluting their environment,”

This is an absolutely stup!d comment from Sanni. First of all, we are in a period where the President has just returned from his home state of Bayelsa which is terribly polluted as a result of the Chevron offshore rig accident in January. Is it Sanni's state that is suffering?

“These days, those who are beaten are the ones who are crying. How do you justify the fact that most of the banks are owned by the people from the South-South? How do you justify the situation where most of the media houses are owned by people from the South-South? You think that they are the hardest workers,” he asked.

No we don't work hard. Such things have come into being by miracle. What a parasitic arsehole!
At the time the ND people were putting their stock in education, the core-Northern elite was putting theirs in parasitism and the enslavement of their masses through all manners of deprivations; from education, to health, to development. Today, while the core-North whose elite own 80% of indigenous oil fields is wallowing in abject poverty and is one of strongholds of polio (eradicated in even the poorest countries); the ND can lay claim to strong ownership of the nations banks and media. Its through education and values, sir.

Why does the man sound so jealous? The core-Northern elite own the oil industry, but the best they have done is build houses with gold plated walls, fenced off from the hoards of unwashed whose suffering they have caused. Is the ND person the cause of 10 phucking million almajiri's? 10 million?!!

Somebody should tell Sanni that while his people were busy killing us and rap!ng our women (even the old ones), we were busy building. While his type were manufacturing almajiri's and calling us lazy ogogoro drinkers, we were busy amassing. It ain't luck, its work.

Now, we demand a 100% ownership of every last oil well on land and sea. And we will get it, because we are educated, sophisticated, and know how to go about our stuff.

May the soul of Mr Eze rest in peace. The needless loss of human life is a highly regrettable thing. That a life could have been lost over dishonesty (or plain theft) is even worse.

I shudder at the gutter calibre of many of the responses on this thread.
Such shocking comments are not expected from civilised people when lives are lost, but it would seem that most NLers might be armed robbers and other souless types who profit from wickedness and derive mobid pleasure from thoughts of bloodshed.

Very few have even discussed the propriety of tolls for crossing canals, all they want to do is express glee over spilt innocent blood like demons. There are very disturbing questions to be answered: Who does the money collected at those "bridges" go to? What does that money buy? Weapons for armed robbers?

For those who might not be aware, those "bridges" look like this one at Makoko:

The army needs to be sent to "evacuate" those cattle rearers.

Did he fool your governor and LG boss into being useless awuf collectors too?

People ventilate like they are gonna die over oil that 99% of the time doesn't come from their states, yet they see nothing wrong with the state govs and LG bosses chasing babes and buying mansions with cash in Dubai with their states allocation. Common sense says you should first ventilate at your governor and LG chairmain who are supposed to be directly responsible for your welfare.

If you can't do that, then you are simply an awuf lover or like Tam Davis West, seeking relevance.

I want to posit that the North-East through their aristocrats and ex-military rulers (except Gen. Mohammed Buhari) [size=14pt]rake in more oil money (from the Niger Delta) individually than any Niger Delta state, and collectively more than twice the entire Niger Delta put together.[/size] In this disquisition, I have attempted to show that 80% of crude oil and gas produced by indigenous companies is controlled by the North-East. It is an area they have well conquered through General IBB, Abacha and Abdulsalami.[size=14pt] However, the loots never get back home[/size].

With the above, why is the North still poor and why the demand for more oil money? It is obvious where the money is going.
Aside Governor Lamido, you would be hard pressed to find any core-Northern governor that can give even the most rudimentary account of development.

ochibs1010:
thank you.
when we all know that 64% of the oil wells which constitute about 88 oils wells are viable with commercial quantities, yet you point accusing fingers at less than 20 oil wells controlled by some few northern elites.

who is fooling who??

The author has already told you who owns 80% of Nigeria's ingeniously owned oil wells. He provided hard facts; names, companies, even barrels per day. All you have going for your argument is no more than sentiments.

Figures, data, names, sir! That's all we wanna hear, not your sentiments.

Moreover, nobody has denied that the mansion in question was built with oil money; a house built with gold plated walls, while millions of severely abused kids (almajiri's) roam the face of the core-North. Such opulence from the elite, while the common man lives a bestial existence and his governor asks for yet more oil money.

However, the most glaring thing missing from your argument is context. For the context to sink in, you need to read the article again.

What has been acheived with oil money so far in the North aside from marble tables and goldplated handrails? Yes, all the while groundnut pyramids vanish into thin air, the people are deliberately kept illiterate and in levels of abject poverty that would bring tears to the eyes of Lucifer himself. Yet, the governors have the courage to demand more oil money and Sanusi has the temerity to blame boko haram on the 13% derivation to the oil producing states.
The question is: why is the North so poor amidst such control of the oil industry? They have sold the country to themselves, so why the underdevelopment, disease and poverty?

Thanks, bruv. He really doesn't know how he sounds.

scopusng:
Fool, How old are you?

"Petrol was 10k per litre at that time" GEJ N97. Chei
"Six months’ salary arrears were paid off. We never borrowed money" GREAT.

Keep hanging on to subsidies instead of doing a solid days work. Keep banging on about oil like a pathetic awuf loving parasite, instead of exerting your energy in the worthwhile struggle for true federalism. People like you are easy to wave around like lightweight fools, cos that is what you are.

You people can keep hanging unto oil like shiit flies gone crazy, instead of thinking up ways to use your phucking brains, create industries and get your states and LG's moving. Are your state and LG so bereft of brains and talent that you must hang unto oil like a blood sucking limpet?

Japan has zero mineral resources, yet they have one of the Worlds biggest economies, yet here you are wasting your life hallucinating about oil.

I know people like you too. Always too stup!d to make a point, thinking that pointing fingers and shouting makes their foolishness less apparent.
If you cannot tackle the topic, then shut up and learn, it is agricultural to go personal like a primitive, just because your brain is weak.

@topic
When it is time to battle for true federalism, many of you will not be present, but when some relevance seeker dangles some coins at you, we begin to feel the fire that is always absent when it really matters.
Oil is not the be all and end all of Nigeria, neither is it most peoples birthright. Countries without oil survive, we are only suffering injustices because our system is wrong. If the people on whose land the oil is sourced were allowed to drill, sell and refine it themselves, nobody would for one second imagine that there wouldn't be enough local refining capacity. It is our awuf loving ways that are beginning to catch up with us.

It is never too late to make amends and stop fighting silly battles. The only battle there is thats worth fighting is to overthrow the system and rebuild it from scratch with true federalism and true representation at the core. Anything short is an act of idiocy. David West knows that, afterall he is a prof; but half the basket brains that jump on his bandwagon don't. They just get used and dumped like used toilet roll.

Bash Me:
Just one question BEAF, do u work for the current govt or r u used to supporting opinions of corrupt leaders?

I do not work for the govt, so stop insulting yourself and face the topic. The half of you that go screaming all over the place don't even have the common sense to really look around the terrain before offering support to the very lions that want to swallow you; that is a fools approach.
If you do not have the IQ of a fish, attempt to answer the questions I asked or shut your dirty mouth.

Tam David West is even worse than NLC. Is he just realising that the refineres are not working now that the govt is doing things to reactivate them? The man has been seeking relevance for some time now.
One has to ask why never sprang to life in Obj's and Yar Adua's times when people actually slept at fuel stations for days on end to get rationed fuel at exhorbitant cost.

The man should collect the lollies from whoever is putting him up to this and keep quiet. Who will even join his protest? Lol!

Anybody that abuses Baba again will kneel down and hands up.

naptu2:
If I own a piece of land and oil or gold is discovered there, I should retain ownership of my land and the revenue that accrues from it. I then pay tax to the government. 25% of that tax should go to the local government, 30% to the state government, 20% to the Federal Government and 25% should be redistributed amongst the states and used to help states that have emergencies (flood, drought, etc).

The tax should be collected by the local government and remitted to the state government, which will in turn give the federal government its share of the revenue.

Thank you jare! Don't mind that pack of robbers pretending to be political saviours.

Tinubu canvassed a new revenue allocation formula which, according to him, would promote development and growth at the grassroots.

He said: “We need a new revenue allocation formula that is equitable and fair. We need to dismantle this unitary system we call federalism. We need to get rid of unfounded regime at the centre.”

Crap.
The man is a parasite.

It is sheer madness to ask for the dismantling of our unitary system and in the very same breath ask to strengthen it by demanding more beggars money from Abuja.

The country is full of hypocrites, thieves, forgers and drug barons masquerading as leaders.

The immunity of governors from prosecution should be lifted for corruption charges and security breaches.

blacksta:
50k would do the trick ,how any escort cars do you need, for extra 20k we will throw in sirens

You don turn to hustler?

I keep repeating it that nomadic cattle rearing should be banned. We are not living in the dark ages.
The states where these cattle rearers hail from should provide designated grazing areas which the cattle cannot leave; failing which their owners will be treated as armed robbers.

Nomadic cattle rearing is used as a guise for all sorts of dispicable acts, from mass murders (including the slaughtering of babies) to armed robberies and weapons smuggling. It has become the next biggest security risk to the nation after the almajiri problem.

[size=14pt]Fulani herdsmen rob on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway[/size]
By Ernest Nwokolo, Abeokuta 27/02/2012 01:11:00

Fulani herdsmen yesterday abandoned their cattle and seized the Ogun State stretch of the Lagos - Ibadan Expressway. They used bows, arrows, knives and other weapons to rob travellers of cash and other items.

They also stalled traffic for many hours at different times of the day.

The herdsmen, it was gathered unleashed some animals on the road, which slowed down traffic and enabled them to rob their victims.

It was gathered that travelers who were heading for Lagos were compelled to detour. Those traveling in the opposite direction had to beat a retreat.

For many hours, they seized the Expressway and three times the herdsmen were dislodged from the road by Police patrol team from the Ogun State Command, Police spokesman Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said.

Adejobi said the police would now beam their searchlight on cattle rearers, having taken to crimes along with minding animals.

He said no arrest has been made while the police have successfully evicted them from the highway.

[size=14pt]Jonathan, Sambo, govs to pay tax on personal emoluments[/size]
On February 28, 2012 · In News
12:46 am
BY Emma Ujah, Abuja Bureau Chief

ABUJA — The personal emolument of President Goodluck Jonathan and his vice, Namadi Sambo, will henceforth to be taxed under the new Personal Income Tax, PIT, Act 2011 (Amended).

Also to be taxed are state governors and their deputies.

Under the new law, members of the public who earn N3.2 million and above per annum are also to pay as high as 24 per cent as tax to the government.

On the other hand, low income earners who receive less than N300,000 per annum could pay only  one per cent in the new tax regime, according to Chairman of Joint Tax Board, JTB, and Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Mrs. Ifueko Omoigui-Okauru, who briefed the press in Abuja, yesterday.

Her words: “With these new provisions, the President, Vice President, Governors and Deputy Governors will now pay tax on all their income as is done by every other tax payer.”

She described the new PIT as “a more equitable tax system” than the old and that the new rates were “realistic,” as high income earners would be made to pay heavy PIT, while the poor are relieved by being made to pay just a token.

The new income bands and their corresponding tax rates are: First N300, 000, 7 per cent; next N300,000,11 per cent; next N500,000,15 per cent; next N500,000, 19 per cent ; next N1.6 million, 21 per cent; and above N3.2 million, 24 per cent.

Until the PIT Act was amended last year, it operated on rates where those who earned N30,000 per annum were paying five per cent; next N30,000,10 per cent; next N50,000,15 per cent; next N50,000, 20 per cent and above N1.6 million, 25 per cent.

Mrs Omoigui-Okauru added, however, that all tax payers would receive a simple-to-administer Consolidated Relief and Allowances of N200,000 plus 20 per cent of gross income deductible allowance from each tax payer’s income before computing tax on the balance.

Under the previous regime, there were allowances and reliefs such as N2,500 per annum for children subject to a maximum of four children and dependent relative allowance of N2,000 per annum, as well as a housing allowance of N 150,000 per annum and transport allowance of N20,000 per annum, among others.

The JTB chairman said the board would introduce a “Presumptive Tax Regime for the informal sector and other persons, whose incomes are not easily verifiable.  and added, “by this provision, the tax authorities can now use presumptive basis for determining the tax liability of such tax payers.”

Mrs. Omoigui-Okauru explained that the new act was a demonstration that government listened to Nigerians and that the PIT would now become more effectively administered, expressing confidence that the nation would be better for it in terms of high tax revenue.

Her words, “With the new Act, government has demonstrated that it has a listening ear and reduced the overall burden on low income and middle income earners, while recouping these from high net worth individuals, who will be expected to bear a higher burden given their level of earning.

“The amended Act also introduced an overall simplified process of compliance, which is expected to attract a high rate of voluntary compliance and widen the taxpayer base of tax authorities.  This in turn is expected to lead to a higher yield in personal income tax collection.

“The provision of a defined, accessible and cost-effective process of dispute resolution by the tax appeal tribunals provides an independent outlet for taxpayer complaints and resolution of such”.

The Chairman warned individual tax evaders and corporate organization who deduct workers’ taxes and refuse to remit to the tax authorities that the game was over and that they would be made to face stiff penalties.

Lets give honour to the best governor in Nigeria.
He is the best by a long shot.

[size=14pt]Akpabio’s honour as Sun Man of Year 2011 well deserved —Oshiomhole[/size]
Tuesday, 28 February 2012

Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole on Saturday, described the Sun Man of the Year Award 2011, bestowed on his AkwaIbom State counterpart, Chief Godswill Akpabio by the managemant of the Sun newspaper as a honour well deserved.

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) governor, who was the Sun Man of the Year 2010, stated this while
presenting the award to Akpabio at an event held at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
[size=14pt]
According to Oshiomhole, “the Sun Man of the Year 2011 that is being honoured today is not a fluke. It is based on what you have been able to put in place in.your state as their leader since you took over the rein of leadership. I have been to AkwaIbom State and I know what I saw. This award is a confirmation of your achievements in office and I can say without any apology that you deserve this.”[/size]

Speaking shortly after receiving the award, Governor Akpabio said the award “ is a recognition of commitments, hardwork, passion and deep sense of service to good governance in the country.”

Akpabio, who dedicated the award to the children of Akwa Ibom rescued from child labour from various parts of the country to becoming beneficiaries of the ongoing free and compulsory education programme in the state, said the gesture of the Sun newspapers represented the readiness of media institutions to partner those in governance for sustainable democracy in the country.

The governor, who invited other Nigerians to explore the rich potentials of Akwa Ibom by coming to confirm the extent of development, changes and transformation, noted that the Year 2011 was challenging base on the failed attempts by opposition groups to cripple his administration through propaganda and falsehood.

He remarked that the award would spur more anger in him for the development of the state as a model for others to emulate, listed major sector of achievements in the implementation of free health care programmes for children from the age of 1 – 5 and also to pregnant mothers.

Akpabio indicated that the Akwa Ibom government has also made significant attainments in the construction of an independent power plant IPP, the Tropicana entertainment centre for tourism while a partnership has been established with the Federal government for the development of a deep sea port at Ibaka, saying the mega project will complement services provided by an international airport constructed at the instance of his administration.

Noting that the accomplishments of his administration go beyond stories, Akpabio thanked the Sun for maintaining a criteria of selecting the awardees without undue influence, stressing that it gives hope to the continuation of the Nigerian project based on the will of God for unity and progress.

The managing director/Editor – in chief. The Sun, Mr Tony Onyima said the award which has gone through a transformation since 2003 was instituted to acknowledge the contributions of individuals in the development of the Nigerian nation.

Onyima stated that in the repositioning the essence of the award the contributions of ordinary Nigerians have been taken into considerations, adding that with the growth in status and statue the award has been opened up for sponsorship of organisations.

He assured that with the involvement of corporate institutions the Sun newspaper was committed to sustaining the celebration of contribution of Nigerians in lifting hope for the country.

You can now understand the reason for Boko Haram and why they want to make the Nation ungovernable under GEJ so that they will intimidate everybody to conceed power back to them again in 2015 so that the ND oil will remain their war booty. All you that criticise GEJ can now see the cabal he is up against. He needs our moral support and constructive imputs to dethrone the status quo ante because they will do everything in the book and ouside the book, even beyond Boko Haram and including selling their souls to the devil, to frustrate it.

Precisely! The singular quote below shows them to be more liquid than the FG itself, its not an easy gang to dislodge:

I want to posit that the North-East through their aristocrats and ex-military rulers (except Gen. Mohammed Buhari) rake in more oil money (from the Niger Delta) individually than any Niger Delta state, and collectively more than twice the entire Niger Delta put together. In this disquisition, I have attempted to show that 80% of crude oil and gas produced by indigenous companies is controlled by the North-East. It is an area they have well conquered through General IBB, Abacha and Abdulsalami. However, the loots never get back home.

The FG simply does not have the sort of money these folk have and this apart from their international oil connections. With a little "change," they they can buy up the entire corrupt security apparatus and can convert their connections into tremendous international forces at the click of a finger. Anybody going head on against them will regret it.

As an aside; there is a strong lobby in the US against officially labelling boko haram a terrorist group. It takes obscenely vast sums of money to lobby the US senate. I wonder who is doing it, cos that cash is from Nigeria.
