gboss4sure: Since na poor government gave rise to boko haram, maybe the west should form their own boko haram and start bombing, de south east should follow and the south south join in the bombing of innocent people.

Na poor government told BH to be bombing and killing innocent civilians.
Obama is just stupid and crazy
Exactly!
States like Ebonyi, Ekiti, Osun etc are very poor and undeveloped, yet they do not have boko haram. I wonder why?

Anyway, I believe that Obama is actually talking about failure of govt at LG and state levels; the US is not like Nigeria, where people feel that every mention of govt means the FG. The failures that created almajiri's, sharia etc are all at state and LG levels. It is states and LG's that provide schools, not the FG.

in April 2008, Nigeria accounted for more than 11 million of the 80 million children in the WHOLE WORLD who were out of school. Guess what section of the country these kids are from? The core-North!

These are kids, failed by the core-Northern, failed by their LG's and failed by their states.

Only males are almajiri's, so the total figure of abused kids in the core-North is likely to top 20 million... There are only a few countries in the World whose population is higher than 20million. Since only males are almajiri's, you wanna know what happens to the girls? They are given away in "marriage" to older men at ages as young as 9 to be legally ra'ped! They claim that culture and sharia justify such practices.
The UN officially recognises Nigeria as the worst for child marriages.

madridsta007: @Beaf
Bakare has compromised his position as a Pastor a long time ago. If he still has some legitimacy in him, he should resign his pastor-ship, register his church as a charity and venture into business or full-time politics.

You can not serve two masters. He should know that. I find the man so dodgy. To have people following him and agitating sometimes violently for him is a big worry if am honest.
The man is simply a tool to the "owners of Nigeria." When he has been used, he will be dumped, is it not surprising that so soon after the elections, he doesn't even know what is going on in CPC anymore? He is useful as long as he is saying outrageous things to keep relevant to the press.
I surely do not know of any pastor that could have not only repeatedly advertised a "wild-wild North," but have gone as far as to tell voters to go to the polling station with matches in one hand and kerosine in the other (NN24 VP debate video). The end result is that so many innocent souls died, including youth corpers who had served in far away states and were about to embark on lifes journey. Whats the difference between Bakare and a murderer? The man is desperate enough to do anything.

This trend has not been reversed but, has rather deepened and gotten worse since due to those who had a little bit having the knowledge to get more while those who had nothing remaining stagnant. In the end if Nigeria had a leader like Nkrumah early on and had invested in bridging the gap the situation would be much better now than previously.

[size=14pt]Belgore's Committee Recommends Unfettered Autonomy For LGs[/size]
Leadership Editors's picture
Tue, 10/07/2012 - 5:46pm | NAN

The Presidential Committee on the Review of Outstanding Issues from recent Constitutional Conferences has recommended optimal autonomy and stable local government system for the country.

Chairman of the Committee and former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Alfa Belgore, disclosed this while submitting the committee's report to President Goodluck Jonathan at the State House on Tuesday in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the committee, among others, also recommended a unified modern criminal law for federal and states government and a review of the civil and criminal legal procedure.

``We have viewed many parts of the constitution, in particular, we put new visions into creating an optimally independent, incorruptible and stabilising local government system that shall always be administered by democratically elected officials that must be accountable, responsive to local needs, directed, controlled and sanctioned by appropriate laws.

``In our view, this is necessary in order to deepen principles of democracy and sound resource management at the grass roots where it really matters for this country.

``Of special significance is that we also looked at the judiciary vis-a-vis the bar, which is just one. That means there is only one Bar.

``The procedures we inherited from the colonial tines which were originally meant for jury has not helped the speedy dispensation of justice. There is no reason earthly why judgments and hearing in cases must take more than one year.

``The British have done away with these procedures in some of their Acts, while we still insist on them are sacrosanct, which is unfortunate.

That is why we believe that the Chief Justice of Nigeria, must be empowered to set up a Council from time to time to look at the rules of courts both civil and criminal. ’’

NAN recalls that the committee, inaugurated by Jonathan on November 17, 2011, was mandated to prepare a legislative bill that would be sent to the National Assembly for debate and consideration in the proposed Constitutional Review.

The President had underscored the consensus of Nigerians that the 1999 Constitution required a review in view of the gaps that had become evident in its provisions.

Belgore said in carrying out their mandate, the committee critically appraised the recommendations of recent Constitutional Conferences with a view to determining their relevance to current national circumstance.

He said the committee endorsed many of the recommendations and made several innovative additions to strengthen the constitution.

The retired CJN said, if adopted, the review made would deepen democratic ethos, promote good governance and the speed up dispensation of justice.

Belgore said the committee observed that Nigeria, just as Congo and Brazil, would attain greater height if the political atmosphere could stablise for 20 years.

``These countries are greatly endowed with everything-population, landmass and wonderful vegetation, very rich soil, well-watered even in the semi-desert and above all, almost limitless supply of liquid and soil minerals.’’

Specifically, he said if Nigeria could achieve up to 40,000 MW in electric power generation, it would be easy for it to industrialise and generate employment.

He gave the assurance that the current security challenges in the country would be a thing of the past soon.

Receiving the report, Jonathan thanked the committee for the review work and the effort.

He specifically thanked Belgore for forging ahead with the assignment of steering the committee even after the loss of his wife, Hajia Fatima.

The President said the recommendations in the report in the areas of strengthening fundamental rights and legal protection for all citizens, especially children, women and the physically challenged would be considered.

He noted that unfettered autonomy for Local Governments had the greatest potential for maximum impact on the lives of all citizens.

Similarly, Jonathan said that the committee’s proposal on public accountability was imperative for officials in the Executive and the Legislature.

``I equally welcome the recommendations that will grant the Executive more flexibility in policy making, like the removal of the Land Use Act from the Constitution but retaining it as a National Law.

``This Report is a great contribution to our efforts to have a Constitution that not only reflects our present reality, but also anticipates future challenges.

``I assure you that the Report will receive expeditious consideration.’’

The President reiterated his administration’s unshakeable faith in the emergence of a strong, united, and prosperous Nigeria.

Programming › Re: No Java Required: Write Android Apps In C# by Beaf(op): 2:16am On Jul 11, 2012
Excerpts from the Xamarin blog:

[size=14pt]Android Ported to C#[/size]

Oracle and Google are currently in a $1 billion wrestling match over Google’s use of Java in Android.

But Java is not the only way to build native apps on Android. In fact, it’s not even the best way: we have been offering C# to Android developers as a high-performance, low-battery consuming alternative to Java. Our platform, Mono, is an open source implementation of the .NET framework that allows developers to write their code using C# while running on top of the Java-powered operating system, and then share that same code with iOS and Windows Phone.

https://blog.xamarin.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/hufpc.jpg

Unlike Sun with Java, Microsoft submitted C# and the .NET VM for standardization to ECMA and saw those standards graduated all the way to ISO strong patent commitments. The .NET framework is also covered by Microsoft’s legally binding community promise.

Last July when Xamarin was getting started, we got our team together in Boston to plan the evolution of Mono on iOS and Android. After a day of kayaking in the Charles River, we sat down to dinner and turned our attention to how we could improve the performance and battery life of applications on Android, and make our own Mono for Android even better.
[size=14pt]The XobotOS Research Project[/size]

The result of our efforts is that today we have most of Android’s layouts and controls entirely in C#. Here are some screenshots of XobotOS running on a Linux workstation, no Java involved:

https://blog.xamarin.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/screenshot-androidcsharp.png

Getting to this point required that the majority of the Android Java code be translated from Java to C#, so what you see above represents very significant progress. So how did we do it?

[size=14pt]Java Translation via Sharpen[/size]

Android’s core codebase contains over a million lines of Java code, and we knew we wanted to be able to stay up to date with new releases of Android — in fact, we started with the Android 2.x source code back in 2011, and then upgraded XobotOS to Android 4.0 when Google open sourced Ice Cream Sandwich earlier this year. So for us, the only reasonable option was to do a machine translation of Java to C#, building and maintaining any necessary tools along the way.

The tool we used as a starting point is called Sharpen. Sharpen is famous for helping people such as Frank Krueger port a Java applet to an award-winning iPad app in two months.

We matured Sharpen a lot, and the result is a much-improved Java-to-C# translation tool for everyone. We are releasing this new version of Sharpen today along with the code for XobotOS and we hope that many more people will benefit from it and contribute to it.

[size=14pt]Performance[/size]

So once you have Android running on Mono, the obvious question is — how does Mono perform compared to Dalvik?

[b]When C# came around, Microsoft modified the language in a couple of significant ways that made it easier to optimize. Value types were introduced to allow small objects to have low overheads and virtual methods were made opt-in, instead of opt-out which made for simpler VMs. Later on, Java and C# diverged in the way that they implemented generics. Java went with a full-backwards compatibility approach, while C# baked the support into the runtime. The C# approach led to a simple-to-use, simple-to-understand generics setup as well as being much more performant and complete.

Since then, both the language and the execution environment have continued to evolve and improve. C# went from being a slightly better Java to be light-years ahead. From embracing dynamic programming, bring asynchronicity into the language, introduce iterators, functional programming constructs, embrace parallelism and got a great implementation of generics. Many of the these features came from the research done by Don Syme and his F# team that have kept a steady flow of new ideas getting injected into the language.[/b]

Furthermore, Mono as a virtual machine has matured substantially in the last 10 years and is now considered to be on its 8th generation.

All of this adds up. You can see the massive difference in the performance of structs and generics in this benchmark we ran of a simple binary tree implementation in Java and C#:

C# (or .NET) can do a thousand and one more powerful things than the piece of code you wrote (has nuff powerful parallel/threading libraries)
Also, you can dynamically implement abstract classes, interfaces, modules, any type. You can also load and create and assemblies on the fly.

...In short, with C#, you can raise the dead. cool grin

When GEJ tried to sell the autonomous LG idea to the governors, they threw an almighty tantrum and demanded even more money from the FG.
GEJ's idea was to increase LG allocations and divorce LG accounts from their parent states accounts, so that development would go directly to the people; instead of the governors using the money for their whims.

It is in all our interests to support this constitutional amendment. Let the cry for true federalism manifest itself in our actions.

[size=14pt]Constitutional review committee advocates independent local govt system, dropping Land Use Act from Constitution[/size]
By Victor Iluyemi
July 10, 2012 23:04:44pm GMT
Nigeria

Abuja (WorldStage Newsonline)-- The Presidential Committee on the review of outstanding issues from recent constitutional conferences has submitted its report to President Goodluck Jonathan with recommendations which include the creation of an independent Local Government system in Nigeria.

Besides, the committee also wants the Chief Justice of Nigeria to be empowered to set up a Council to from time to time set up rules of court both civil and criminal and that such councils should be representative of the judiciary, the bar, the private sector and government.

The committee also advocated for the removal of the Land Use Act from the Constitution but retaining it as a National Law.

The report of Justice Alfa Belgore led committee is expected to be part of the executive’s contribution towards the ongoing constitutional review process in the country.

The committee was inaugurated on November 17th 2011, by President Jonathan with the assurance that the work of the Committee would be an important component in the process of national dialogue for enduring change and transformation.

The Committee’s mandate also included the preparation of a legislative bill that would be sent to the National Assembly for debate and consideration in the proposed Constitutional Review exercise.

Speaking shortly after receiving the report, President Jonathan said, “I would like to reiterate our administration’s unshakeable faith in the emergence of a strong, united, and prosperous Nigerian nation.

“Our enduring sense of brotherhood, unwavering desire for freedom, unique resilience, and abiding faith in Nigeria has seen us through sundry challenges over the past 52 years of nationhood. I am confident that these innate attributes will provide us the requisite fortitude to persevere and overcome in the face of new challenges.

“Even though the present Constitution has served the nation well, the general consensus is that it requires review and amendment in view of gaps that have become evident in our attempt to operationalize it over the last 13 years.”

On the report submitted to him, he said that he was informed that the Committee reached unanimous agreements on changes in key areas of the Constitution.

Jonathan also revealed that the report contained provisions to strengthen Fundamental Rights as well as legal protection for all citizens, especially children, women and the physically challenged.

On the recommendation for speedy and fairer administration of justice, the President said the committee had his support, noting, “as I believe that fundamental rights, security of life and property, the protection of the law, and equitable dispensation of justice must be made real as they greatly influence the average citizen’s sense of obligation and patriotic disposition towards the nation.

“I am equally pleased that the Committee has paid justified attention to Local Government Administration. I am convinced, given my personal experience at national and sub-national levels of governance in Nigeria, that the greatest asset of our democracy is the commitment of people at the grassroots to the ideals of transparency, accountability and good governance.

“Considering that Local Governments have the greatest potential for maximum impact on the lives of all citizens, the extent of their efficient development is the true measure of our democracy’s claim to being a government of the people by the people and for the people.


“Similarly, the Committee has made robust proposals on the public accountability imperative for officials in the Executive and the Legislature. As the most visible arms of Government, their integrity and functional capacities determine the quality of trust and reality of the social contract in any society. Their success and mutual reinforcement define the hope of our nation, while their excesses and shortcomings subvert the dreams of democratic transformation.

“I welcome the Chairman’s assertion that the Committee has made profound recommendations to strengthen the Legislature at all levels and also to demand conformity with extant national regulations in the conduct of their affairs.

“I equally welcome the recommendations that will grant the Executive more flexibility in policy making, like the removal of the Land Use Act from the Constitution but retaining it as a National Law.”

The President also described the report as “a great contribution to the country’s efforts to have a Constitution that not only reflects our present reality, but also anticipates future challenges.”

He also assured that the report will receive expeditious consideration.

In his earlier remark, Belgore said after carefully reviewing many parts of the constitution, the committee amongst others concluded that one of the things needed in the country is an independent, incorruptible and stabilizing local government system that is administered by democratically elected officials.

The committee explained that it was necessary in order to deepen principles of democracy and sound resource management at the grass roots where it really matters.

According to him, “The committee also viewed many parts of the constitution. In particular, we put new visions into creating an optimally independent, incorruptible and stabilizing local government system that shall always be administered by democratically elected officials that must be accountable, responsive to local needs, directed, controlled and sanctioned by appropriated laws. In our view, this is necessary in order to deepen principles of democracy and sound resource management at the grass roots where it really matters.

“Of special significance is that we also looked at the judiciary vis-a-vis the bar, which is just one. The procedures we inherited from the colonial tines which were originally meant for jury has not helped the speedy dispensation of justice. The British have done away with the procedures while we still insist on them as sacrosanct, which is unfortunate. That is why we believe that the Chief Justice of Nigeria must be empowered to set up a Council to from time to time set up rules of court both civil and criminal and uh councils should be representative of the judiciary, the bar, the private sector and government.

“Whereas in the constitution, each state has its own judiciary which are linked with the National Judicial Council or appointments and disciple, there is only one bar. The area of problem will be in criminal procedure because our criminal laws are at great divergence i.e, the penal code and the criminal code. To solve this problem it will be better or the President to set up a panel to look into the possibility of a unified modern criminal legislation. If these reforms in the judiciary system and the enabling legislation are carried out, it will be possible for a counsel from, say Cross River State, to travel to Borno State, Katsina State or Sokoto State and find that the criminal law is virtually the same thing; and same will be the procedure.

“Throughout the assignment, every member of the committee felt proud to serve Nigeria on an issue as central to our national well-being as the Constitution. Each member shared the patriotic spirit that animated the Committee and the deep understanding that Nigeria is a great country. Indeed very few countries are like Nigeria. There are three countries that will achieve great heights if they are left in stability for a continuous period of twenty years. These are the Democratic Republic of Congo, Brazil and Nigeria. They are greatly endowed with everything-population, landmass and wonderful vegetation, very rich soil, well-watered even in the semi desert and above all, almost limitless supply of liquid and soil minerals.”

He added: “If our country can achieve up to 40,000 MW in electric power generation, it will be so easy to heavily industrialise it and create employment for Nigerians, with our neighbours coming here to work in a situation whereby all our raw materials will be in the country, unlike the industrialised countries of North America, Europe, India, China etc. The country Nigeria is a pride to the black race and will continue to be. The present situation of some disgruntled elements trying to destabilize the country will soon pass, once Vision20:2020 starts having even greater effect on the economy.”

"I'm not desperate but I am worried," admitted Whitmarsh, when asked about McLaren's current situation.

And Button's next comment could be interpreted as a warning to Whitmarsh that McLaren needs to work hard to keep its drivers happy.

"I wonder what would happen if you put another driver in it?" said the 2009 world champion, referring to the ailing MP4-27.

"I bet they would get a real shock," added Button.

Rewind...

Beaf: This is an example false prophesy:

The coming Together of the Sons of Turmoil
Now showing in all cinema's. Doh!

"I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria," Buhari said, quoted in press reports.

"God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country,"
- Gen. Buhari


Revealing a chilling prophetic vision, Bakare said: "Neither [size=14pt]Buhari [/size] nor IBB nor Obasanjo nor Atiku will be part of the new Nigeria. They are part of the old that has decayed and is still decaying. The new is coming forth. It is the counsel of the Lord that shall stand in this nation. [size=14pt]Until the sons of turmoil destroy themselves, this nation will not know peace[/size]."
- "Pastor" Tunde Bakare

What did Tunde Bakare do next, after claiming to have heard from the Spirit of God? He joined Buhari's political camp! shocked
[size=14pt]Tunde Bakare is a false prophet and a demon.[/size]
cool

“Let me tell you the truth by the spirit of God, neither (President Olusegun Obasanjo), OBJ, Atiku (Abubakar), IBB and this tall one, (Muhammadu) Buhari are part of the new. They are part of the old that is decaying. That old one is passing away. The new is emerging and these ones are not part of that new.”

- Tunde Bakare


What did Tunde Bakare do after this? He joined Buhari!
Is he not mocking the Spirit of God?

The man is a false prophet who steals from the poor and weak.
