Oh really?? You are a beneficiary of subsidy?? You dey make me laff. Somebody is paid =N= 22.4 billion every year for marketing his product and you sit here and count yourself as a BENEFICIARY.

This country produces Crude oil. . . .and still imports PMS because silly things like subsidy exist. You have not been able to justify in your post why Nigeria should continue to pay =N=1,340,000,000,000 to a select few while other people dey suffer dey hussle to make ends meet.

its unjustifiable Economics. That is a Govt Indelibrately (if there is a word like this ) empowering a few Individuals. With that kind of free money, people could destabilize a Govt by Importing Arms or sponsoring Terrorism.

All these Misnomers did not start with GEJ and probably he wont be the one to end all of it. But at least he is trying to end some of it.

If you really want poor people to start benefitting from something. . . Start calling for a Social Security System that can FEED and Cloth people. . . . . At least Govt can have a direct Impact that way. . , . Not all these mumu argument about fuel price. How does this Subsidy affect a poor homeless woman and her children who live under the bridge?

And =N=1,340,000,000,000 don go this year'just like that. Yet dem never fit finish Osha -Enugu Express of just a few billion naira. If you buy the fuel, for which road you go take am drive sef??
. . . . . which road person wan take go Xmas sef?

Leave them jare! Its clown season.

People pay N65.00 per litre to remain in slavery, while some corrupt goons have legally sewn their theft into the laws of the land.
It is a supreme irony that some are calling for "revolution" to fight the person who wants to free them and engage in bloody battle so the owners of the country can continue rap!ng their daughters and stealing their childrens milk. Its foolishness whichever way one looks at it.

Anybody that is crying for revolution over the removal of the fuel subsidy is either willfully ignorant of their own country or a hyena who benefits from the fuel subsidy.

Again; Nigerians pay N65.00 per litre to remain in slavery, its the bribe thats paid to own you.

Nigerians are the countries worst enemy.
There are thousands of people like that prof who are brought down by fellow Nigerians out of jealousy, wickedness or the rampant "pull them down" syndrome which is driven by low self esteem issues.

Even right here on NL, the hypocrites have taken root. They are always first to scream loudest, but the ones at the forefront of killing progress with lies and sophistry. Can someone ask that hypocrite called Gbawe, why he has continuously lied that http://www.afrosciencecommunity.com is a scam? A website that is meant to give freely to the poor?
Ask them and you will find abundant reason why Nigeria is not developed; his likes parade the place making vast and vacuous speeches to no end, but when it comes to the time to practicalise words, they turn into full fledged bloodsuckers.

The direct contact button is very commendable indeed, I will advise those with sound idea's to use it. I too will use it whithin the next few days.
Let the usual people rant, afterall they ranted the same way about YouWin too, only for their mates here on NL to succeed and begin making solid plans to strategise for the future, meet up etc. . . All right here on NL.

Let the clowns rant, its clown beauty contest day! Yipee!!!

NSN12:
We're also based in naija. We're also Nigerians. It's your choice to visit the website or not. We're an active organization. We're not those type of orgs. who talk about what they're going to do but actually we will do what we say we will do. What we need is support. Thanks for your input but never judge a book by its cover. Peace

Keep it up, it is heartwarming to see the youth begin to engage politically, all hope is not lost.
Great job!

[size=14pt]Bomb blast in Sapele mosque[/size]
Written by Sylvester Idowu, Warri Sunday, 11 December 2011

A bomb explosion in the early hours of Saturday rocked the Main Mosque at Hausa Quarters in Sapele, Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State.

The incident, which was suspected to have been masterminded by a Boko Haram member, took place at about 5.10 a.m., leaving a victim identified as Tanko Buzu with high degree of injuries on the face and hands.

Sunday Tribune gathered that the victim was rushed to Delta State University Teaching Hospital (DELSUTH) where he was rejected and brought back to Sapele from where he was referred to University of Benin Teaching Hospital.

It was gathered that the victim was alone in the mosque at the time of the incident and that security agents were working on the theory that he was a Boko Haram member.

“We heard a loud slam at about 5.10 a.m. and when we rushed to the scene, we discovered Tanko writhing in pain. He was injured on the face and hands. He was then rushed to the hospital by members of the Hausa community,” an eyewitness told Sunday Tribune.

A team of anti-bomb squad from the Delta State Police Command was seen in a jeep with registration number NPF 1770 C monitoring the scene, while journalists were prevented from accessing the place.

Sunday Tribune, however, got access to the scene of the incident when the state commissioner of police arrived the place at about 10.20 a.m. in a Toyota Camry saloon car with registration number Kano BB 863 KMC.

In a section of the Juma at Central Mosque, located at No 6 Hausa road, a hole dug on the floor by the impact of the blast was seen and ceilings of the mosque were shattered.

Sunday Tribune observed that the commissioner of police was briefed on the incident by the Seriki Hausawa Sapele, identified as Alhaji Suleiman Umaru, at the scene of the incident from where he left for Sapele Police Station.

A Mercedez Benz jeep carrying a top official of the State Security Service (SSS) in the state was also sighted at the scene.

The official, a woman accompanied by some aides, went in briefly to assess the scene and left shortly after.

It was gathered that undercover security agents were working on the theory that the victim might be a member of the Boko Haram sect and that he could be from Niger Republic.

There was apprehension in Sapele community with residents insinuating that members of the dreaded sect had infiltrated the town.

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Charles Muka, confirmed the incident, but denied any bomb blast.

He said the command suspected it was fire that engulfed the mosque.

http://www.tribune.com.ng/sun/front-page-articles/5841-bomb-blast-in-sapele-mosque

He was probably going to use the bomb elsewhere. The police better not let him die before he spills the beans. in the meantime, every last member of that mosque should be arrested and carted off to Abuja for interrogation.

emmatok:
Your Hypocrisy knows no limit .

You openly give you to support MEND, but when it comes to the OPC you say another thing.

Please which group in the SW showed their dissatisfaction with OPC's show of force.

Ok, I support OPC and I will join my local chapter. Satisfied now?

Beaf:
Babangida left the country in October to Germany for treatment for an ailment that had to do with his back and legs.

That statement seems quite simplistic. Only a pretty serious problem will see anyone flown out of the country, only to remain for two months; the long and short is that he must have had some sort of operation or the other.

If the man had been voted into power, it would have been the beginning of another Yar Adua saga.

youngmonie:
R u for real??, Beaf u cn do beta than this!!!

I am for real.

It is best we look at the realities on the ground, wars need vast amounts of money; in that regard, the ND is totally underrated in the average Nigerian mind.
If the ND decides it has definitely had enough, only the US would be able to exert pressure to keep the country together; the problem will be way too big for the rest of Nigeria. To make matters worse, it is 100% certain that the SE will follow suit, closely followed by the Middle Belt; like the ND, those two regions are quite unhappy; even the SW has shown dissatisfaction with OPC's show of force a couple of days ago. If the ND leaves, Nigeria will rapidly implode.

olly pass:
Some one gave a lateral thinking assignment and as an addendum to the issues raised in that post i would like to type down my 2 cents questions for what its worth:

1: A govt that was challenged to find other means of saving the economy and seems to lazy or just incompetent to be able to do so is suppose to be trusted with judicious use of the cash saved by implementing the subsidy

2: On paper the merits may look good but so does my C.V. and all other developmental programs Nigeria has had since green revolution in the 60's but how many of these developmental programs, SAP inclusive were implemented effectively as it was proposed to the nation?

3: If they know how much trillion will be saved why has it been difficult for them to release a detailed budget with timelines on how much of that money will be spent on what  before what time so their argument can have more weight? or have they not thought of it cause they couldn't be bothered in the first place knowing accountability. monitoring and evaluation are not poplar buzz words to this particular project?? instead he gives all this ambiguous projects with out time lines, (funniest is employing 20,000 out of millions in each state)

4:Considering 1-3 above is it safe to assume their is a bigger picture the govt is not letting us in on

In summary if the dutch disease that has plagued us all these years cos of over reliance on this sector is removal of subsidy the magic wand that would set right all that is wrong in that sector and by extension the nation or innovative, technology driven re-construction of the other sectors of the economy

Aside from the bolded, everything above is mere conjecture.

Now to the bolded, the firm answer is, yes. In fact, it is high time Nigerian states and LG's learnt to live without free money; if they were all generating wealth and employment for their people, who would be so bothered about the removal of the oil subsidy?

What we should be concerened about is how to enthrone true federalism and get every unit of govt functioning. That is what obtains in the developed World, no unit of govt goes cap in hand on a monthly basis to central govt.
As an example, the pic below is of a 35MW power station in the UK, owned by 3 London LG's; Lewisham, Southwark, and Greenwich :

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/SELCHP.jpg/800px-SELCHP.jpg
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELCHP

What sort of laziness plagues Nigeria that we cannot cry out for such local development from our states and LG's, instead of scrounging for subsidies and survival handouts from Abuja?

aurenflani:
the only ones in nigeria of today who enjoy this kind of threats and hope for it to start are the khaki boys - opportunity are clearly presenting themselves. i bet u the first serious short against the muslims as an entity in d s/s would draw such reaction overwhelmingly and instead of killing christians in d north the armed forces will simply be empowered to roll their tanks and capture every politicians they can lay their hands on and u will hear from the radio "fellow nigerians, ".
The army is d only ones keeping this country as one.

Army take over the country? Lol!
Thats a dream mate! Those days are long gone, any coup today will amount to a declaration of war.

Ruklaw:
Probably dis myopic minded JRC does'nt know the population of muslims in ND compared to xtians in d north, shld reprisal attack happen, and hu says it is d xtians dat has been targeted of BH, go and research better b4 doing somtin silly, cos d last tym I checked, BH were killing islamic scholars dat goes against their blv and the law enforcement agents are their primary target as a revenge 4 killing their leader. And lastly does a bomb evade muslims and kill xtians in d same building or are law enforcement agents only xtians or the assasinated guy dat received OBJ in borno a xtian or the assasinated former borno ANPP guber candidate a xtian or is d assasinated ANPP vice chairman in Borno a xtian, d list of BH assasinated victims in borno goes on, lets think b4 acting.

We are missing out the import of JRC's message. They are asking for all Northern Muslims to leave the ND immediately and for all ND people to start returning home. It is an ominous message that better be taken seriously. If things go full hog, then Nigeria is about to say goodbye to oil and free meals forever.

If the ND decides to break free, there will be little anyone can do, as all the money Nigeria makes comes from there and you cannot prosecute a war on an empty stomach.

[size=14pt]IBB Returns After Two Months Medical Trip Abroad[/size]
Aliyu M. Hamagam
9 December 2011

Minna — Former Military President Ibrahim Babangida on Wednesday arrived in the country after a two month medical trip abroad. A source close to the family told Daily Trust that the former president has fully recovered from the illness that took him abroad.

"He has come back hale and hearty. Infact, he is looking fresh, and has added weight," he said.

The former president arrived Abuja aboard Lufthansa Airline around 4 pm, after which he left for Minna in a chartered aircraft. Our correspondent reports that in Minna, the former president was received by friends, relations, aides and domestic servants.

Babangida left the country in October to Germany for treatment for an ailment that had to do with his back and legs.

http://allafrica.com/stories/201112090413.html

IBB = Atiku = Ciroma = Buhari = boko haram.

When the subsidy is removed, those making noise on the internet will be expected to be leading the "revolution," or forever be branded cowards.

I don't know of anybody, but a clown that will scream revolution without purpose or ideology. Anyways, maybe "born to rule" terrorist activities like boko haram are what they call revolution.

Ufeolorun:
@beaf
High on the ethnic bitterness-scale are the so called northerners and I know who's next in line.
I strongly believe they are not joking.

You see hegemony but I stopped seeing such after June 12 and I believe any Swner. still going on about Northern hegemony is still living in the past.
Obasanjo isn't a core-northerner but baba messed up big time and don't let. me starting talking about the current gridlock.

Obj is surely not a core-Northerner, but guess which regions elitist interests coronated him? That is where the hegemony comes in.
Obj refused to play ball after his first term and kicked off the process that has led to the defeat of the hegemony that kept Nigeria backward and their own people uneducated. That is the reason IBB has so much hatred for him.

Call Obj any name you like, but he has gone down in history as the man who began the battle to throw off our oppresive shackles. If today, you begin yearning for the same old hegemonists, then something is wrong.
It is worthy of note that both Abacha and IBB built personal refineries with Nigeria's money in a bid to enrich themselves and their cronies. Today, that same block has responded to their loss of power with the scourge of boko haram. What love is there to give those who kill defenseless inocent people, including women and newborns, because they have lost the straws with which they sipped the blood and vitality of the nation?

Yes, we see a defeated hegemony and we recognise its danger very clearly indeed.

Ufeolorun:
Us verse them? Yes am political but I have no reason to be hateful. What these circus clowns are short of is introspection,and it's the real root of their bitterness.

In my opinion; all Nigerians lack introspection. There is no section of the country one can look at and feel pride in its development; everything is shabby and every section has a disgraceful beggarly dependence on oil which is not even a manufactured product.
We all need introspection.

Ufeolorun:
@topic
That was Pdp-OPC (lol!) led by Fasehun, sponsored by friends from Abuja.
Gani Adams has the capacity to shut down lagos if Opc really want to protest BH.

Would the Gani Adams led OPC faction have demonstrated in support of boko haram? If he was that powerful, he would have stopped OPC's open display of weapons in a street demontration; perhaps, he would even have broken away completely and renamed his faction long ago.
Dude, OPC is OPC and their demonstration has thrown up very deep political contradictions; it is for such reasons that ethnically bigotted politics is bad business, right now the local vision of alliances looks blurred and confused. Are you with the core-Northern elite or are you with the South and Middle Belt? If you aren't, who will be the long term winners and losers?
You cannot forsake natural allies in pursuit of what is very dead and very buried.

^
Lolzzzzz! Thats some tragically funny shyte!

@pDude
You have a very useless profile pic!
Did you get friends to do that?

^
Lol! Thanks bruv.
A lot of people are so blinded by their ethnic bigotry that can't even see left from right, especially on a thread like this one that blows certain contradictions into the open (such as OPC's demonstration).
Politics driven by ethnic bigotry will only result in isolation from natural allies, I don't understand how its proponents cannot see that (except they are slyly working against their own people for selfish gain).

^
I am not Igbo.

pDude:
Beaf beaf. you sound jittery.

Don't worry, you don't have to worry. Its jonathan that is in deep shyt no you. You will be spared.

Jittery?!
Dude, lets just wait and see. Your "revolution" sounds jittery.

DaLover: GEJ continues to impress me with his ability to takle tough issues and summount them, not a know noise maker but a silent achiever.
He has just told people at an economic summit or something like that if the option to economic meltdown in a few years time is mass revolt, he would chose the mass revolt, stake everything he has got going for him on it.
The much easier path would have to get popular support, lying to nigerians that all is ok while impending doom aproaches,
Gej please remove fuel subsidies and all other blanket subsidies that nigerian havfe gotten use to since independence, the culture of waiting for government to run our daily lives has to stop, the system has induced so much mental lazyness that is has become ulmost irreversible.

Word!
Let us wait for the weak filthy tongued cowards who only know how to call names to start their revolution.

The future of Nigeria cannot continue to depend on the beggarly attitude of depending on Abuja for everything. In other countries, the drivers of growth and employment are local govts and states with the FG just overseeing policies, standards and national security. In Nigeria, it is the opposite with everybody begging for money derived from oil that is not in their backyards. Sometimes I wonder if the average person is not ashamed of the status quo which is why they wish to be subsidised as if we are handicapped.

For the first time in our history, a man has risen who is willing to stake his all for the benefit of the country; so it is time to know who the real enemies of progress are. GEJ has challenged them to an open fight, let the cowards come out if they dare.

Nigeria will develop, regardless of any gathering of vultures, hyena's and bloodsuckers that wish the old paths to backwardness of the past will continue.

Where are all the people that were screaming "revolution" just a few days ago?
Bloody cowards and trouble makers.

Ufeolorun:
“At some stage, even the most liberal
non-Igbo person will get mad with the
antics of some Igbo posters on NL"
Gbawe,
You don't need to explain or be apologetic  at all cos anyone who's not taking these guys on is simply mopping it up and moving on.

They all sound the same way that sometimes I feel these monikers maybe owned by just an individual.

Korda!they write really scary and childish,seriously. Sometimes they try to pass them off as jokes but when you aggregate the insinuations and the direct comments you know that in real life these guys are truly bitter and they won't think twice to hit hard if or when they have the opportunity

The same dish is served when  Northerners  
are the subject.

I find the bolded quite intriguing. I wonder what you are hinting at, especially as you regularly engage in "we and them" style politics.
The core-Northern elite has controlled power from the background in Nigeria since 1960 with only underdevelopment to show for it; the country has now been given a second lease of life with the ousting of that bunch from power and the rest of the country (including the core-Northern street) has turned its back on them and their boko haram response. And, yes, people are rightly bitter about where we find ourselves 51 years after birth, I see nothing wrong with that and I wonder why you do.

There is also no point in making it out as the Igbo's being the only bitter ones, that only trivialises a national struggle into a self destructive one with narrow ethnic interests that are unsustainable because money continues to flow in from Abuja in the absence of local creativity and innovativeness thats worth a farthing. Anybody who is not bitter is not for the progress of the masses, so please let us be careful not to be seen in that light; let us also not be seen in the light of narrow-minded ethnic champions.

The core-Northern elite have lost their hegemonic grip on power for good in Nigeria, so what point is there in trying to resurrect a dead negative? Population for votes? That can always be triangulated and effectively negated; so what is your real drive for the irrevocably defeated past, my brother?

ShangoThor:
Gbawe and Beaf you both know what I'm saying makes sense.

It is absolutely pointless trying to get the last word in.

As intelligent characters I find your collective intelligence inspiring. We need wisdom on NL now more than ever.

I know you are well meaning, but it is impossible to work with a fake and a liar who will even go so far as to spit on selfless work for the poor.

Gbawe:
Get lost. Silly conman. I may respect ShangoThor's appeal but that does not extend to a despicable character like yourself. Stop crying all over the place about your naff website. I am of the opinion, knowing your duplicitous nature that sees you able to hold brief for the most corrupt, that you are nothing but a cheap conman. Ridiculous utterances such as "PDP is reforming" mark you out as a highly duplicitous person willing to tell outrageous lies to serve the agenda of your paymasters. you are a disgrace.

Lol! You are very funny indeed! While I support GEJ, you represent drug barons and certificate forgers with no known family history like Tinubu and high story tellers like Aregbesola, yet you are brave enough to talk about corruption? Wonders!
Is it any wonder that your immorality should spread to claiming that http://www.afrosciencecommunity.com is a scam, whereas you don't even have the brains or morality of our least contributor? You can deceive the slower ones on NL and other bigots like yourself, but the rest of us see right through you.

You have nothing to offer the country, that is why you are jealous of http://www.afrosciencecommunity.com. Instead of being jealous, why not get your village to prepare to better itself with open and direct science, or even the community you live in? Instead, you are here telling cheap lies, spreading ethnic bigotry and making a right fool of yourself.

If I were to challenge you to point out a way you have helped your neighbour, you will likely point at your stolen bags of money.

ShangoThor:
@ Beaf, Gbawe, Aigbofa et-al

I plead with you guys to Cease fire, and sheath your swords.

We need to administer your collective intelligence to guide the more vulnerable in our populace in relation to what is gradually unfolding in our Nation.

The Country is on the verge of regional warfare, so Please stop, my brothers from East, Mid-West, South-South, West and Middlebelt.


We have huge responsibilities ahead of us. Let us not end up being narcisistic and egotistical, I repeat that we have huge responsibilities ahead of us.

Our fathers generation failed us miserably, and we will do even worse if we cannot put our differences aside.

Please stop the character assasination, we need to start building bridges for the testing times that are gradually unfolding.

I am humbly begging you all.

You should tell that to Gbawe who has nothing but deceit and ethnic bigotry.
How can anyone claim that this website is a scam, aside from lying scum that will steal a kids food without any concience? http://www.afrosciencecommunity.com

As they say, by their fruits you shall know them. What fruit does Gbawe have for the common man, aside from dispensing shameless streams of lies for the conmen he represents?
If the country is on fire, wisdom says the likes of the fork-tongued Gbawe are the type to avoid.

Gbawe:
Get lost attention seeking irritant. No one is interested in proving anything to a roach like you. Are you not bright enough to know that people don't have to prove opinions held. I consider you a scammer and I don't care to prove otherwise. Have I asked you to prove I am the "fungus" yo call me? Why are you getting so worked up ? Scammer.

The group described by the bolded must be a pack of lying fools.
I made a general statement about a fungus and you answered like I called your name. Is any firther proof needed about who the ethnically bigoted fungus is? LOLZZ!!!

Keep to lying and ethnic bigotry, other things bring out akanmu between your ears. Since there is so much space in your head, if you don't mind, I would like to store some goods like cement, blocks and sand; I will pay rent if you insist!

cap28:
you have got to be one of the most brainwashed imb.eciles i have ever come across in my life, i cant understand this obsession with the US - you are in no way benefitting from any of the terror and agression that the US wages throughout the world so why the pathetic slavish follow follow behaviour?

has it occurred to your dim brain that these weapons you worship are going to be used all over the african continent very soon, would you like your village to be used as a testing ground for US weapons of mass destruction? perhaps we can start by bombing your family compound with their weapons - im sure in your dim slow mind you would still continue in this your pathetic worship of the US empire - im not suprised your ethnicity indicates that you were born to be a slave rather than a leader.

and by the way the vietnamese are the most courageous human beings on the planet to have fought and defeated the US, can you and those your backward ijaw people even dream of offering up one quarter of the type of resistance that the vietnamese offered up against the US military?

you and your master goodluck jonathan are only good for one thing being houseboys and slaves to western powers because you are born cowards.

Crap 28, you are as daft as you are pathetic.
Will the foolishness you freely expressed above help Pakistan if they are crazy enough to call for a rewind of the sort of shootout that is making that general talk nonsense?

You are really daft.

The ethnically bigoted lying fungus still cannot tell us why it lied that http://www.afrosciencecommunity.com is a scam.

Gbawe:
Suwegbe talking about "brain" to his intellectual superior. How many times have I exposed you as an 'airhead' here? If Nairaland is anything to go by, then a wimp, teacher's pet and wannabe "militant"  like you should refrain from talking about guts. As for morals, let us not even go there because everyone knows you have non. The Nairalanders who are productive will discern that you are nothing but a charlatan with how you think I, or anyone else, should go out of the way to prove anything to you on a discussion forum you take far more seriously than is healthy. Those doing well and  are productive members of society don't feel compelled to prove anything to anyone. I guess It is only insecure empty barrels , seeking the validation of others, who are always beating their own drum and touting iffy credentials. Abeg, get lost.

Damn! Out of jealousy you brought up the subject of http://www.afrosciencecommunity.com/ and now after getting ear bending slapdowns you are claiming that I am beating my own chest? Wonders! What do you have to beat your chest about? Stolen money or moral currency?
Dude, you are as weak as discarded toilet roll.

Are you still finding it impossible to tell the World how http://www.afrosciencecommunity.com/ is a scam?
LOLZZZ! The shocking life of a lying ethnic bigot must be sadder than the stench from Lucifers rancid breath.

You are now officially a clown as well as a liar and bigot. Show us how the selfless work for the poor at http://www.afrosciencecommunity.com/ is a scam or shutup. All your type does is feast off the blood and sweat of the common man; steal milk from babies and rap'e the country. Why are you jealous of my website when you lack the brains or morals to undertake such a venture?
Dude, you are way to far gone with telling lies everyday to even understand what joy and fulfilment helping the less priviledged can bring. All you wake to do is tell lies, exagerate and steal food from babies.
