Beaf please explain what the man did wrong.

His time in government saw ample references made to "subsidy" and as a financial whizzkid, he helped the ex-generals with the loopholes to funnel away our wealth as "subsidy."
All his long talk is just due to his concience worrying him in his twilight years. These are the real bastards that sold Nigeria in every way, now he is sitting back to badmouth those that are determined to clear up the mess, most likely because he is scared of exposure.

This is the genesis of fuel imports or what Aluko and his ilk called "subsidy." This is Aluko's handwork below:

The army has ruled for 28 of Nigeria's 38 years, compressing what was a federal republic into an authoritarian, centralized state. Hausa-speaking Muslims of the north have dominated both the army and its governments, suppressing demands by other groups -- principally ethnic Ibos and Yorubas -- for more power.

Especially under the two previous ruling generals, Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha, those in power have stolen billions of dollars from the state and let the economic infrastructure of the country collapse. Abacha's sudden death last June elevated Abubakar, who a month later announced the return to civilian rule.

. . .

After months of securing his position by placing allies in key posts, notably on the ruling military council, Abubakar in recent weeks has "has begun to shut down the corrupt business deals of prominent officers" who were at the core of Abacha's government, said a Western diplomat who asked not to be named. One such move was Abubakar's scrapping of a dual exchange rate for Nigeria's currency, the naira. The system allowed certain government officials to buy hard currency at the rate of 22 nairas per dollar, compared with the unofficial rate of about 85 nairas.

Abubakar also ended a government monopoly on fuel imports, under which Abacha-era officials received kickbacks from importers. And, in a step expected to choke off smuggling of fuel -- reportedly by corrupt officers and their business partners -- Abubakar let fuel prices rise, particularly for gasoline, which at 48 cents per gallon was being smuggled to neighboring countries. The government and fuel marketers set a price of $1.10 per gallon before street protests forced them to back down to 88 cents.

Subsequent govts have simply restarted the rubbish Aluko and his co-hoodlums invented, that is why we have recurrent subsidy removal. GEJ means to dump the entire bullsh!t once and for all, so the entrenched forces are in fight-back mode. They will lose.

We that say we have free education down south - of what benefit has it been to us? At least in the north you can leave your house open and go to sleep with your 2 eyes closed; try it down south. Do you hear of bank robbers in the north - they have a very simple way of living.

The wonderful benefits of illiteracy!
I keep getting painfully shocked on Nairaland!

There might be some truth to Iweala being an agent. Look at outtara of the Ivory Coast. The french army came to IC to overthrow Gdagbo to put a puppet in. Liberia has Ellen Johnson who was a harvard economist. The libyan guy from NTC was an IMf guy too. Is that just a coincidence?

She wants to remove fuel subsidies for what? Is she goeing to fix the refineries? Fix the power? What is she doing to help Nigeria?

Dude, I usually like your posts, but this "agent" stuff is just childish NWO style conspiracy theory rubbish.

evilspirit:
the earlier Nigerians know that Iweala is an agent of IMF/world bank the better.

That is silly nonsense, sold to weak minds in an attempt to subvert the country. What is your basis for making such a ridiculous claim?
I wonder if you people hate Nigeria?

Another sharp Nairalander schooling 'Olodo' Beaf.

@A-Zed.

Don't mind the 'Olodo' twerp. When has privatisation ever meant that a nation is abdicating its regulatory authority which, to averagely clever folks, is still the final arbiter of how private companies will operate and conduct their affairs?

It is amazing how many time Beaf does U-turns on this forum to accomodate the fact that he is an airhead who stands for nothing beyond blindly defending his clueless paymasters. In the UK today, Private foreign hands own all sorts of businesses and enterprises but that does not mean the UK is getting a Russian or Saudi Arabian backbone anytime soon when the likes of David Cameron, Clegg, the Miliband brothers and Osborne et al continue to hold sway in dictating what is possible and what is not.

Anyone fully conversant with the core principles of globalisation and shrinking borders will realise how ridiculously unintelligent and sycophantic Beaf is with his attempt here to evoke fear of "foreigners" to back his moronic argument. The frontier has changed forever and borders will continue to shrink . Now, Countries willing to stay on top and dominating must let in foreign investment while never forgetting that robust regulation by authorised citizens is king .

What does any of the above have to do with the topic, sir?

Those people have a chance, if ACN is going for Shekarau who spent N10 bILLION OF Kano State money as down payments for hotels in and around Kano City. Shekarau is not a credible material. I would urge all the [size=14pt]Progressives[/size], Fashola, Chime, Rochas, Duke fall in line behind Buhari and we would have a very strong oppostition. Moreover Rochas should give his state atleast 8 years of progress, the others have all done or are doing their second term.

"Progressives!!!" Lol!
Even the charlatans, ACN have stopped calling themselves that and resorted to summoning evil spirits. Aside from Chime and Rochas, they are just wicked thieves that will steal a babies milk.
Fashola is too much of a cowardly little girl to deal with Tinubu, talkless of the Godless monsters, demons and vampire armies that operate at FG level.

^
You sound foolish each time you repeat the same "sycophantic" nonsense escape route. Are you not the same person that defends the thief, Tinubu like your life depends on it?
Dude, address the issue and stop dodging down dark alleyways when you have been found wanting.

Weak minds said the same about the Nigerian bond GEJ floated last year. Weren't you one? Didn't you scream persimistic negativity like the World was gonna roll over and melt? Lol!
Now the Nigerian bond is the poster child for developing nations. Strange eh?

" “The Federal Government alone cannot provide this amount because its a huge investment"

The bolded says the Government is looking for partners.  That sector is so massive that past and present  governments have failed to manage the thing.   WHy they dont want to surrender 100 % control is beyond my understanding.   Do exactly like what was done to the telecommunication sector and i am positive that lack of electricity will become a second nature In Nigeria.

The first thing that is targetted in times of war, is the power supply. What sense will it make to 100% hand that over to foreigners? Nobody in their right senses would sell their own country in that way.

Lol! Imagine giving foreigners the power to switch off the lights across the country when and how they wish. Second slavery.

blacksta:
Just sell the phocking thing -

That is investment, isn't it?

How does the word investment translate to "borrow?"

These are the people that ruined the country with their military apologists. They are the very people who made the loopholes for the country to be drained off sustenance by ex-generals.
The payments to these ex-generals is called "subsidy" in our laws, so lets stick with calling it that. The fact is that such terms with which to fleece the nation were coined by wasted talents like Aluko; now others have to pick the pieces and he has the gall to open his gob and spew nonsense.

His ex-general masters MUST loose that free lunch that the poor pay for and their mafia sabotages the refineries for. Let the heavens fall if they must.

You are a fool for sure. More intelligent folk don't keep repeating themselves like they are severely autistic.

Tambuwal is a thief like Tinubu and Tinubu bribed the World to get him there. Deal with that, Tinubu is a frog-eyed thief and an enemy of Nigeria; Tambuwal is his ugly gift.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=782802.msg9362785#msg9362785 date=1318910767]For those of you who seek true knowledge, may I let you know that an Almajiri, by true definition, is a word borrowed from Arabic for someone who leaves his home in search of knowledge in Islamic religion - by choice I might add. The Abused children who you are erroneously calling Almajiris are not Almajiris at all. As I stated earlier, a child becomes an 'Almajiri' when there is high striking poverty line in his family to take care of his essential needs such as sustenance. Some children are forced to become one simply when they lose their parents and when their relatives or guardians cannot keep them. Most of such children become victims when their parents send them to Quranic schools outside their hometowns. The so-called Quaranic schools need to be regulated, many of the schools are nothing more that breeding grounds for terrorists and criminals.

Any attempt to ban the practice of Almajiri is insensitive. . .[/quote]You really are dodging the issue and misfiring here. As I posted earlier, this is what an Islamic cleric says about almajiri:

The Almajiri Bill
. . .
I cannot see how colonialism or neocolonialism has anything to do with trying to make the lives of these children better. Almajirci is purely a Hausa culture in which the Almajirai are separated from the loving warmth of their parents very early in life. It is in fact un-Islamic because the child is Allah’s trust to the parent who is supposed to cater for his well-being, education, health, discipline and proper moral upbringing. Ustaz Idris Abdulaziz, an Islamic Scholar in Bauchi, gave credence to this in a THISDAY interview in 2007 when he dismissed the claim that Almajirci is an Islamic culture. He said it is “a Hausa culture” pure and simple. Of all the countries in the world with a substantial number of Muslims, he further explained, the practice is found only in Nigeria from where it spread to other surrounding West African countries.

http://www.gamji.com/article8000/NEWS8955.htm

So please, cut out references to Islam and Arabs (afteral there are no Arabic almajiri's). Further, it really makes you sound confused when you claim there is nothing like almajiri, only to mention that banning it would lead to religious tensions. Tensions with who exactly? That statement makes no sense really.
The almajiri institution is only practised in Nigeria; so lets avoid obfuscating issues.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=782802.msg9362785#msg9362785 date=1318910767]. . .
Any attempt to ban the practice of Almajiri is insensitive and will worsen religious tensions in the country. What we must do is address the problem of education, poverty, and more importantly, Child Abuse in this country. Many of you prefer to look at the poverty and abuse suffered by many of these chilldren as  Northern problem or a problem with Islam.  You have a right to wallow in your bigotry. I submit to you that the menace of street urchins and beggars is a problem of poverty and lack of education.

We are better off asking the Federal Ministers of Education who have spent oner $10billion in the past 10years alone, what they did with the money if millions of children are running around without primary school education. The same question must also be asked of governors.
. . .[/quote]Why all the clutter about Islam and bigotry?
The very issues holding up the North are tied into the post you made. Your words show a man really scared of losing something intensely negative, but that is very strangely dear to your heart; hence the disconnected references, maybe they are better seen as hidden threats about religious tensions, whereas what is at stake is education. You must ask yourself the reason for that mindset.

It is quite obvious that the only way to get rid of almajirinci is to embark on cultural rebirth. Nobody can change the culture of the core-Northerner without their leaders taking up the mantle and that is where the crux is, not questioning[i] "Federal Ministers of Education who have spent oner $10billion in the past 10years"[/i] when the culture of getting an education is absent and almajiri prevalent.

If the core-Northern leaders join hands with the FG to abolish the almajiri institution, why will any religious tensions arise? Such issues will only arise if your leaders choose to sit back, be spoonfed the truth, keep failing, generating millions more almajiri to worsen matters and letting illiteracy take the driving sit in decision making. If you roll up your sleeves and pitch in, where will the tension come from?

You and I had conversations a couple of years back in which I pointed out (prophetically in hindsight) that the problem of illiteracy in the core-North is Nigeria's biggest security issue. Here we are in 2011 with illiteracy threatening the fabric of the nation. It can only get worse from here if people sit back and wish their troubles away (just as you are doing).

Beaf, i will deal with you later in this week. You are another piece of pathetic scum that should be trampled any chance I get.

You should understand that Beaf is the most nauseating sycophant in cyberspace. He supports the worst misrulers and thugs (recently praising OBJ over a foolish and egotistic 'bridge-building' visit that cost a man his life) while demonzing those who are moving Nigeria forward. He is here to imply that this report is false. Well, bright Nairalanders can tell for themselves when they add the insane decision of GEJ that the clearing house of corruption (NNPC) turn around our refineries in 24 months (when the entire world is screaming transparent privatisation) with this section of the article:

@ ekt bear, I was the one who assumed fstranger was studying medicine at Princeton (I don't know much about Princeton) in an unrelated discussion we had because he posted pictures of Princeton and then Sagamite jumped on that for their e-feud. Fstranger said he had already graduated from Princeton, not that he was studying medicine there.


Also, what's so impossible about 285 on JAMB at 16? Is this JAMB so insanely hard or something?

I've been wondering the same thing and shaking my head in pain each time he's said it. It might be a mean thing to say but, ekt bear does carry a huge chip on his shoulder and tends to derail many threads with it.
