[size=14pt]Ciroma, the regional warrior[/size]
People & Politics Oct 14, 2010 By Ochereome Nnanna

ON two occasions, Malam Adamu Ciroma came close to emerging as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

In 1978 when the military was preparing for their first hand over of power to the civilians, he was a front runner for president on the platform of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN).

But because the Nigerian ruling class usually prefers less fancied materials, it was soft-spoken Alhaji Shehu Shagari that was picked.

Again in 1992, during General Ibrahim Babangida’s convoluted transition to civil rule programme, Ciroma was poised to pick up the ticket of the National Republican Convention (NRC). In the first ballot, he drew even with his closest rival, Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi and a runoff was imminent.

It was Babangida’s cancellation of the primaries of the SDP and NRC and disqualification of all 22 presidential aspirants that scuttled Ciroma’s opportunity.

Among other things, Ciroma has been a Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Minister of Finance during the first term of the regime of President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999 to 2003.

It is a man of this giant national profile that is now the field marshal of Arewa warriors campaigning for the return of power to the North in 2011. More than 30 years of exposure to sensitive high national public offices has failed to moderate the regional impetus that threw him upon the national centre-stage.

Just like Shagari, Ciroma started his public service in the office of the late Sardauna of Sokoto, Alhaji Ahmadu Bello. He was the first editor (later Managing Director) of the Arewa-centric New Nigerian Newspapers.

But unlike Shagari who has stayed above the unfolding North versus Jonathan fray, Ciroma has remained the defender of the North that Sardauna raised members of his generation to be.

When he took the front seat to push Arewa’s demand that President Goodluck Jonathan should respect the zoning arrangement of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and give way to a Northerner in 2011, I felt he had a point, even if a clumsy one.

It is clumsy in that those asking Jonathan to step down for the North would never do that for the South if the situation were reversed, more so as the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is on the President’s side.

Many Igbo people were hoping (and still are) that zoning would be respected in order to enable it solve the problem it was created to do in the first place – give every marginalised group (Igbos inclusive) a sense of belonging in the system, just it has done the Yoruba and Ijaw.

However, the call on Jonathan to resign or be impeached by the National Assembly, in my opinion, smacked of political hysteria, even desperation. When a person is desperate he can say or do anything. When a person is hysterical, he is not in full control of himself.

Something else other than cold reasoning has taken over. The ultimatum that Ciroma issued on behalf of the Northern Political Forum on Wednesday October 6, 2010 was clearly intended to incite the North against the President.

This appears to be a common tactic employed by the pro-zoning wing of Northern leaders against the aspirations of Jonathan. A prominent traditional ruler was quoted as telling Northerners that the emergence of Jonathan in 2011 would threaten their culture and religion.

In an interview in The News Magazine  Prof Ango Abdullahi, the former VC of the Ahmadu Bello University, claimed that Jonathan would lose if he ran for president. Alhaji Lawal Kaita was also quoted in the media as saying the North would make the nation ungovernable for the President unless he respected the zoning principle.

In his statement on behalf of the NPF, Ciroma replied Jonathan’s unguarded defence of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) and accusation of “terrorists” while investigation was ongoing with an equally unguarded repartee.

He said Jonathan should resign or be impeached because the North no longer felt safe under him. If Ciroma and his cohorts had their way, Jonathan would be removed from office.

[size=14pt]The one-week ultimatum has passed and the call for Jonathan’s impeachment was not acted upon. The failure of the National Assembly to consider the impeachment of the President, even in form of a motion, is a possible pointer to the outcome of the impending struggle to snatch the PDP ticket from the President or defeat him in the general elections.[/size]

It is like a failed referendum. Knowing that no section of the country can muster the number of federal legislators to remove the President (least of all a severely divided North) the NPF should not have made that call. It turned out a wasted effort.

Again, it was inappropriate to liken Jonathan’s presidential bid to Obasanjo’s failed third term. Obasanjo tried to change the Constitution to get the third term but failed.

It is also untrue that Obasanjo’s third term bid led to “the wasting of innocent civilian lives”. No life was lost. Clearly, that statement was meant to create an anti-Jonathan feeling in the system as Obasanjo’s bid elicited.

I would advise Northern leaders, especially those who have benefited so much from Nigeria, to take it easy. Let them not give to Jonathan what they would not take from anybody if they were in the President’s shoes.

If they are serious about preventing Jonathan from getting elected next year, let them put their so-called majority power into effect democratically. The North is said to have the knack to unite at the snap of a finger. This is the time to prove it.

The campaign of incitement should cease forthwith, both from the North and Jonathan’s side, who are brandishing state agencies and MEND to intimidate their opponents. Be careful what you wish. You may get it!

why do you think Okah and Jonathan are fighting. The reason is clear, while majority of ijaw people want to leave Nigeria. Jonathan want to stay in Nigeria. That why they are fighting. Apart from Jonathan and his family, I have never come across an ijaw man , who want to remain in nigeria. only jonathan. this is why the two of them dont get alone.

It has nothing to do with bomb. I dont think MEND did it myself. I think may be northerner or no nigerian did it to discredit jonathan. Only the military or police can carry out sure attack in Nigeria.

Let look at it this way. If you give Jonathan gift certificate he will follow you, even GO knows this. That why we don't pray to fake pastors when reading the bible. He will follow you and take the capital from Abuja. Jonathan have the power and his wife will be praying.

What d'you think?

Beaf, I never said anything about bond. Bond is a useless idea. Bond is not good. It makes you slave. It is a silly idea to collect bond. How many people would put thier children into slavery.

What I am saying is that the Yorubas state, edo, delta should join in in this program of Gift certificate. We would give them 500 billion each. And but they would give thier staff who use it in places that accept them. What would happen is.  After a while. The only thing people would accept is tyhis gift certificate. That way, we force the market into our hands. since nigeria would not allow for a currency.

Bonds are slavery. This is the only solution. You give the contractors.  Only contractor who accept it get project. And issue is it reduce capital flight and business within this area would do very well. local content.

Aloy+Emeka was the one that mentioned bonds, but I see you are intent on lecturing me, so ride on bros. I de ya side!
By the way, is it possible for me to convert to Yoruba so I can get the free money you are printing? I wanna be rich.

egift:
I will hit the ground running. All fronts will experience serious activities (Nigeria have been dormant for long).
- Infrastructures (new and renovations)
- Review and enforcement of all existing government policies
- Refineries (New and repairs)
- Security (Anti Terrorist unit, equipping and training our security agencies. Later standardize Police uniform)
- There will be serious activities in Economy (for biz, youths), Education, Agriculture, Health, etc.
- I will harness intellectual contribution from high institutions (on topics and projects - I sent them)
- Their will be steady and unified communication from my Government.

It will be a taboo not to account for any government fund that flow through you (even if na N100). Justice will be fast, fair, and on its merit.

You really raised your game from the usual. Well done.

He was born at Seme border, thats what is confusing him.

You people that love nigeria, should do yoruba people a big favour and just cut us out careful. And yoruba who want one nigeria. should remember  OPC boys. Beaf list thier name.
Beaf I am telling you any yoruba man who does not want to leave nigeria, should pack his load and family and relocate to abuja. If he does not do that, we would help him pack his load and family and relocate him  to abuja. This is what we would do when we leave nigeria.

Beaf there is no law in nigeria, that says I can not own a gift certificate. And I would advise Northerner to do the same.
It is the best for Yoruba people. We need to build an economy that we can control. The one we cant control is not for us.

Sir, please where is Oduduwa bank located?
Olodo!

xterra2:
IN fact, he should exnorate Boko Baram from the killing of Bauchi People

Dude, you have more sense than this na.

If a group claiming to be Boko Haram were to go and set off bombs at the governornment house in Enugu. The President will be correct to call it terrorism by a group masquerading as Boko haram. Its simple really!
MEND has never operated outside of creeks and waterways, Boko Haram has never operated outside Muslim and Savanah areas. Simple as ABC.

OMO IBO:
C'mon now,
Dude has been doing a whole lot of talking.
His continuous shielding of MEND is unbecoming. . . .Even an unborn child knows he believes MEND has nothing to do with it.

He can at least let the security operatives get on with the business of finding who is behind the attrocities rather than point them in the direction of a certain group or person(s)

Do you realise there was a bomb threat by a group claiming to be MEND in Zamfara state?
I don't see how condemning a bomb threat purportedly from MEND amounts to "continuous shielding of MEND."
Can you explain? If the man say's nothing, you guy's will be the first to jump up and scream that Zamfara people don't matter.

Tolulop001:
i think this becomrich1/musiwa/worreva else needs some sort of intervention

from the meaningless maps to the totally disjointed yarns, he is reaching out for help

I have said so time without number, that any Nigerians in Canada need to get close to him and find out whats going on, cos the dude has problems. being far away from home in a strange land can amplify little issues until they grow out of hand. I believe becomerich really needs a hug and help more than anything else.

OMO IBO:
Ok!

I think G I Joe needs to talk less or better still quit talking altogether.
Is he trying to become MEND's spokes person by force? na wa ooo.

Dude, just relax mein!

So, there is a bomb threat in Zamfara and your advice is that the President should keep quiet?
I really don't get you point.

[size=14pt]Power: FG to give priority to loal contractors – Jonathan[/size]
News Oct 13, 2010 By Oscarline Onwuemenyi

ABUJA — President Goodluck Jonathan has said the government would give preference to indigenous contractors in its drive to improve electricity power in the country.

Jonathan, who was speaking on Tuesday at Talata Mafara Community, in Zamfara State, where he commissioned one of the two transformers, stated that his government was totally committed to improving electricity supply in the country for industrial, socio-economic development of the country.

The project was executed by a local firm, Messrs Continental Engineering Nigeria Ltd, at the cost of over N699 million.

The President, while commending the indigenous contractor for the job well done, said his administration by next year would give more preference to local contractors.

Earlier, the Governor of Zamfara State, Alh. Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi, said the commissioning of the project by President Goodluck Jonathan would go a long way to address the problem of power shortage which is threatening the very foundation of the economy of Zamfara State people and survival of hundreds of thousands of the people predominantly made up of farming communities and small scale industries.

Governor Shinkafi said the people of Zamfara were grateful to the President and the gesture would lead to the boosting of economic activities and revival of ailing industries in the state.

It will be recalled that President Jonathan also commissioned the new 2 x 60MVA, 132/33KV transmission substation, Kubwa, Abuja and reinforcement of the 132/33KV transmission substation, Apo, Abuja on September 28, 2010.

Meanwhile, the Minister of State for Power, Arc. Nuhu Somo Wya, has appealed to the community to allow the speedy repairs of the second transformer to ensure flexibility of operations in the transmission sub-station in Talata Mafara, Zamfara State.

Wya stated that efforts to move the transformer out to a workshop in Lagos for inspection and repairs, was resisted by the local community.

However, the minister disclosed that the Federal Government would collaborate with the state government to persuade members of the community to permit the repairs.

Wya stated that commissioning of the 2 x 30 140MW, 132/33KV transmission sub-station, Talata Mafara, Zamfara State, was one out of the numerous power projects completed across the country by the present administration.

The minister further stated that the project was expected to improve electricity supply in Zamfara State and its environs, thereby stimulating socio-economic activities in the areas.

Wya said the project was designed to increase and improve electricity supply not only to Talata Mafara, but the whole of Zamfara State and its surrounding areas.

You underestimate NL. Many big folks visit here. Some are registered and do contribute while others just read and go. I really suspect that folks like GEJ, OBJ, IBB, OUK, Chukwumerije, Reuben Abati and many journalists, politicians,academics and there advisers and proxies do visit here to spy out opinions.

The fact is that they are not registered members of NL; whereas, you would find that Nuhu Ribadu, Reuben Abati, Ben Igbokwe etc are registered members of Nigeria Village Square.
A lot needs to be done for NL's politics section to gain that sort of clout; there's just too much childishness in the place, people with no input simply attack personalities or ethnicities; it can be shameful really. No serious politician would want to get involved in some of the jungle arguments that hold here.

Having said the above, it might take the presence of a heavyweight like GEJ to change the trend here and nurture more political responsible youth.

[size=14pt]MEND’s Threat: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan[/size]
Tuesday, 12 October 2010 23:58 Iyobosa Uwugiaren And Golu Timothy

Abuja   .President Goodluck Jonathan has reiterated his promise that the Federal Government would no longer allow some criminal-minded persons to hide underneath the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) to perpetrate heinous crimes.

The president, who spoke last night through his spokesman, Mr. Ima Niboro on his arrival from Sokoto and Zamfara states, said his trip to the two states was successful in spite of the MEND's threat.

"The president just returned from Zamfara and Sokoto states.  It was successful and incident-free, in spite of the bomb threats by MEND," Mr. Niboro stated in a statement last night,"But these threats bring to focus the president's position that no one must hide underneath MEND to perpetrate evil.  This is even more so since the MEND known to Nigerians has willingly renounced violence.

"So which MEND was this? The Zamfara variant? This nonsense must stop, and this is precisely the president's position."

Meanwhile, the president has commended the Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar for his exemplary leadership and contributions to peace in Nigeria.

Speaking yesterday during a courtesy call on the Sultan, as part of his official visit to Sokoto and Zamfara states, the president noted that the Sultan's contributions are exemplary and that he has been acknowledged worldwide as a man of peace.

President Jonathan assured the Sultan that his administration is committed to taking Nigeria to greater heights so that, by its centennial celebrations, Nigerians will have a country all can be proud of.

"We are determined to give the required leadership.  This is our only country, we have no other one; so we must reposition it to attain great heights," he said.

He commiserated with the Sultan over the floods which ravaged sections of Sokoto and Kebbi states, and said that the Federal Government has given and will continue to give major assistance to alleviate the situation.

In his remarks, Sultan Abubakar commended the president for successfully steering the ship of state so far. He stated that, as a religious and traditional ruler, he is committed to doing what is right, and would not deviate from the path.

The Sultan later presented the president a white horse as a royal gift on behalf of himself and the sultanate.

Earlier, the president was conferred with the traditional title of "Santuraki Talata Mafara", by the Emir of Talata Mafara, Zamfara State, Muhammadu Bello Barmo. The president was honoured just before he commissioned the 132/33 KVA transmission substation located in the community.

At the commissioning, President Jonathan praised the efforts of the local contractor, noting that government is committed to encouraging local contractors.

He disclosed that, from the next fiscal year, the Federal Government would set aside a percentage of contracts dedicated to local contractors. "This the only way we can improve capacity and grow our economy," he said.

If u guys do read the bible u will knw that the jews don't beleive that jesus christ is the messiah that was promised by God just because he ate with sinners. Gej is not saying mend are immuned from commiting havoc but like play like play something like boko haram can be used in the name of mend, so let there be thorough investigations not what how the northern rulers treated bomb blast in the south south and south west mildly but when it happened in the north they cried of insecurity.

In fact, there seems to be a suspicious "Boko Haram" running loose these days. The ones we used to know were interested in killing police and soldiers, but these current ones operate like assassins, killing politicians. If you ask me, these shady groups are beautifuf trojan horses for evil politicians to capture and ride.

mikeansy:
Read the bit in bold again and see if you don't find anything wrong about that?
Is there any part of Nigerian constitution thats says in bombing incidents we should have one rule for MEND and then another for everyone else?
Why does the mere mention of MEND mean that bombings can not be investigated?
Who swept the previous ones under the carpet? was he not the President when those ones were swept under the carpet?

Even though this is what happens in reality for whatever reason. The President of Nigeria should not be saying this. That is what we are saying. We all know that as an Ijaw man he will sympathise with MEND but he should not be saying this openly because the rest of Nigeria also needs a commander-in-chief who could be seen as an honest broker in matters between Niger-Delta and the rest of Nigeria.

If Jonathan does paint himself into some closet militant who found his way to Aso Rock, he may not even have the political capital to deliver on Resource Control because any new laws on Revenue Sharing Formula will need NASS approval and a bill being sent to the NASS from the Presidency. Only a President popular enough to command loyalty accross the country can deliver on such a controversial subject as resource control. So folks chill, some things in life are more important than childish and uncouth symbolisms like the President of Nigeria glorifying MEND on National TV and inviting ex-militants to Aso Rock for tea parties.

The fact remains that some of you who come here everyday to make noise about GEJ are smart as GEJ and Ima Niboro. You guys clearly do not know what is necessary to deliver on the Niger-Delta question. I am from one of the Niger-Delta States myself and I grew up in PH. I will benefit from the Niger-Delta quest as everyone else. I just think there is a lack of understanding on how to deliver the goods or what is even necessary. I am afraid, at the rate we are going Jonathan will screw up an important opportunity. I simply don't want dumb guys to waste our time even if they are from Olibiri.

The fact that you support the conman, kleptomaniac extraordinaire and serial murderer, Ibrahim Babangida, does not convey the right to heap abuse on GEJ supporters, neither does it give you the right to use the word "dumb," in reference to the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria. You are above that, leave that sort of low behaviour to men of the gutter like the Ciroma's, Yakasai's, Kanti Bello's and their ilk.

Nigeria Village Square does not represent the youths but people of over 35 years who are lower in population and therefore have less say when it comes to votes.Nairaland is the largest blog in Africa.

Its funny that people over 35 are the most likely to vote, while Worldwide figures show that young adults hardly ever vote; they make a lot of noise, but they will not vote.

Nigeria Village Square is more relevant to politics than NL's politics section will ever be without changes. I can bet you that, before this season is over GEJ would have done an interview there. It is also more likely that Jonathan would be a member of NVS, they've got gravitas and clout as far as online politics goes.

Is it not corruption? Who in the history of this country can fight, or has ever fought corruption better than Nuhu Ribadu?

I said it years ago that a change will come, and now it is for us all to desperately latch on to that change with the last breathe in us.

Are you sure about Ribadu?
I'm a Ribadu fan, but based on the interviews he has given so far far, he is very far from presidential material. The interview he gave NVS was totally pathetic and disjointed, read the excerpts above again. He probably needs some civilian experience, maybe as a senator first.

Nairaland does not have the sort of depth and quality that will convince any top politician or leader to join with their real name and photo. It isn't a fault of the members, but more a fault of some of the moderators who can be very partial, vindictive and so narrowminded that they cannot see the incalculable damage they do to the brand. Without this sad state of affairs, Nairaland would have been the biggest beast in social networking on the African landscape.

Nigeria Village Square is too intellectual for most of the younger NL members (and they don't have romance and sexuality sections ), otherwise it would have left NL in the dust long, long ago. However, the clout the Nigeria Village Square possesses is several leagues ahead of NL; they are very professionally run and can attract top shots for one on one interviews. No top shot would easily consider an NL interview where they might be subjected to tribalistic comments, the occasional idiotic one liner that is irrelevant to the topic and tonnes of foolish statements by a loud few who take pride in ignorance and equate verbal abuse with logic.

In this political season, NL's politics section should have been able to host a few interviews with political bigwigs, rather we have violently foolish topics like "Jonathan Snubs Ojukwu" culled from dubious sources.

This is Nigeria Village Squares Buhari interview;

Isn't there a clear difference?
