THE NORTH IS MISTAKING THE CIVILITY OF THE SOUTH FOR STUPIDITY... Dan Osa Ogbegie wrote; "I saw the below elsewhere and decided to share so that my readers would see the kind of Country we call our own. You can continue doing political correctness and call those of us who harp on the injustice, imbalance and unfairness in Nigeria names, but I can assure you that very soon, "you go see am for bodi". ------------- It took less than 6 months for the senate to pass the North East Development Commission (NEDC) BILL. It has taken more than 14 years and 4 presidents, yet the PIB bill is nowhere to be passed. It took less than 4 Hours for Kano State to be smuggled into North East Region for the purpose of enjoying from NEDC ( Kano State is in the North West oh, very far from the North East). For more than 10 years Northern Senators have been trying to define 'Oil bearing communities' .Does it include villages with petrol stations and pipelines? It took less than 3 months for us to agree to set aside 3 % of total VAT accruals to fund the reconstruction of NE. ( including VAT from alcohol. Alcohol is banned in sharia States). For more than one generation, we are still arguing how to fund the clean up of hydro carbon polluted sites in the Niger Delta and Ogoni. The Board of NEDC is made up entirely of people from the North and North East. The Board of NDDC is made up of every tom, dick and harry to ensure adequate geographical spread. ( NDDC has representatives from the North East, North West and North Central, even when no State there is a member). The FG wants to borrow 30 billion US dollars for 'capital' projects! Not one of this project is located in the entire South! Yet, oil located in the south will be used to upset the loan when due This is our country! This is our story" |

Last week or so, a friend of mine made a post about not being able to buy cucumber in public because people were staring at her. I didn't understand the post because I was pretty much distracted by so much work on my desk so I missed the trending news. Okay, Miss Anambra was the reason many women won't buy cucumber in public. Don't know how I missed the gist, but I somehow did. Well, that's old news. Just stumbled on a report now and decided to read up articles and some blogs and yes the video! Curiosity won't let me be. Okay, she made a sex tape with her friend. A lesbian tape for that matter and with a cucumber! Oh ye righteous Nigerians! Free her small. Do I approve? Hell no! But then our society doesn't, that is why most of y'all are lucky. It's her secret, she got unlucky. What's baffles me is that lesbianism and homosexuality isn't new and so uncommon. Most people that watched that video watched it for entertainment and probably relished the experience and maybe put it on re-play. Don't crucify her unless you do not live in a glass house. Just because you do not have videos out there of your perverted sex life doesn't make you righteous. If the video is real, it's not your business. You'd be surprised that 1-3 women out of 10 you know are lesbians or have practiced acts of lesbianism so also for men. Even you reading this post are probably one or have indulged in the present past. Condemn the act, love and show love to the victim. You've probably done worse.

Full Details Why Nigerian Economy Collapsed Under Buhari: Only The Truth Shall Set Buhari Free – By Reno OmokriNigerian Economy Collapsed Under Buhari – Having worked twice at the Nigerian Presidential villa and once at the British Parliament, if there is anything I have learnt, it is that it is impossible to over inform a leader.You can under inform him, but no matterhow much information you give a leader, you cannot give him too much information.In today’s world, strength and weaknessare gauged differently than they were, say in 1984. In the millennial age in which we live in, information is power and lack of information is weakness.My concern is that there are a lot of weaknesses in Nigeria’s seat of power because not enough information is beinggiven to President Muhammadu Buhari.I, like other Nigerians, have heard or read reports of ministers in President Buhari’s cabinet being afraid to challenge him or disagree with him. Perhaps unawares, the minister of state for petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, corroborated these reports in a recordedYouTube video now circulating where herevealed that the President ignores his ministers when they bring up issues that he does not want to discuss.Having such anodyne personalities around you just means that you are living in a bubble, seeing things as you want them to be and not as they are.On Friday May 20th, 2016, Dr. Yemi Kale,the Statistician General of the Federation and head of the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics revealed that Nigeria’s economy had not grown in the first quarter of the year but had rather shrunk by 0.36%, the worst contraction in 25 years!Since the announcement was made, there has been various reactions with pundits pointing at this or the other as being the cause of this setback.But I am convinced beyond any reasonable doubts that this negative trend owes more to President Muhammadu Buhari’s utterances on oureconomy and polity than to any other single causative factor.The bigger problem is that even though Isuspect that his ministers know that what I have just said is true, they would rather pander to the President and like Dr. Chris Ngige, say that Nigerians are lucky to have President Buhari (obvious Ngige does not know the meaning of luck).In the last eleven months, the President had traversed the globe and has spokenabout Nigeria’s economy as if he was the chief undertaker of our polity rather than the chief marketer that he is meant to be.Of what benefit is it to the President’s agenda or to Nigeria’s economic well being for him to go to foreign nations and instead of highlighting the positive things that are happening in Nigeria, he begins to regale his hosts with the most unsavory stories about Nigeria.And some of the stories the President tells are just that-tales. They are not factual. At best they are arguable.You go to India for a summit where other world leaders are competing with you for the attention of venture capitalists and foreign investors and while your counterparts are talking about how great their countries are, you tell the audience how everybody in yourcountry is corrupt except you and oh, can they come and invest in your country?Only a foolish investor would go and invest in a country whose President thinks his citizens are ‘criminals’ (as the President said to the Telegraph of UK in February) and whose officials are ‘fantastically corrupt’ (as the President said in agreement with British PM David Cameron when questioned by Sky News).The President speaks on the Nigerian economy and polity without any filters and his comments are causing his chickens to roost with devastating consequences for all of us.Never in the history of Nigeria has there been such a divestment of investment aswe have seen in the past year.Truworths has pulled out of Nigeria, Virgin Atlantic has closed up shop, Iberiais pulling out, RenCap is pulling funds from Nigeria, both Alquity Investment Management Ltd. and Duet Asset Management Ltd. are divesting their Nigeria holding.Zenith Bank laid off 1,200 staff, FCMB let go 700 employees, Ecobank sacked 50% of its top management staff. The President of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Tony Ejinkeonye revealed that in just two months 50,000 staff were laid off in Abuja alone.The results are telling. A little over a yearago, Nigeria was projected by CNNMoney to be the third fastest growing economy in the world behind China and Qatar yet just two weeks ago the International Monetary Fund released its World Economic Outlook andNigeria is not even among the top 15 fastest growing economies in Africa let alone the world!And when you try to raise the alarm, therefrain from the government and its horde of unofficial spokesmen is that thedownturn is caused by the fall in crude prices.Yet this logic is flawed. The government’s own economic monitoring agency, the National Bureau of Statisticsitself reported that the exponential growth Nigeria enjoyed especially from 2012 to its 2014 climax (when our economy overtook South Africa to be Africa’s largest economy) was spurred not by the oil sector, but “this growth was largely driven by improved activitiesin the telecommunications, building and construction, hotel and restaurant and business services” to quote the NBS.Yes, oil accounts for something like 90-95 percent of our foreign exchange revenues but it only accounts for a mere 15% of our GDP.The service sector and the commercial and real sector are the engine or used tobe the engine of our economic growth. But these sectors are heavily capital andtechnology intensive and require cooperation with foreign investors and when you consistently bad mouth your economy and its regulators investor confidence tanks and the result is what we are seeing today.I support President Buhari’s anti corruption war but it should not be a substitute for sound economic ideas or policies.And the way the President has carried out his anti corruption crusade is in itselfself sabotaging and feeds the narrative of those who say that Nigeria is far too complex and dynamic a country to be run by someone who should be quietly collecting his pension.And President Buhari’s behavior is flowing down the pyramid. There is a contagious effect in the utterances of major figures in his administration.For instance, when Vice President Osinbajo tells the world that the Jonathanadministration looted $15 Billion in security contracts, many people in the West who like to read such stories to justify their hidden opinion that the Blackman cannot govern himself, will clap for him.Coming from the nation’s own Vice President, the Western press will report the news as a fact. At that level, such a statement carries the weight of an admission.But then ask yourself, what was the entire security budget for the five years that Jonathan was President of Nigeria?In 2011, defense and security had a budget of ₦348 billion or just over $2 billion. In 2012 it skyrocketed to ₦921 billion or $5.7 billion. It grew to ₦1.055 trillion in 2013 or $6 billion. In 2014, ₦968 billion was budgeted for defence and security or $5.8 billion.The 2015 budget was passed in April and President Jonathan handed over to President Buhari a month later so I cannot see how the previous administration could have ‘chopped’ thatmoney.So of the $19 billion budgeted for defence and security while former President Jonathan was in office, how could $15 billion have been looted when more than half that amount went to paying salaries?Did Vice President Osinbajo think this accusation through?The President and his vice with their cabinet and their political appointees arenot a court. They cannot convict anybody. As such when they speak this way, what it amounts to is propagandized activity.In an anti corruption war one must separate activity from results. Results are convictions from a court after due and diligent prosecution. And when you look at it from that perspective, this administration has been delivering activity and not results.For instance, then candidate Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the All Progressive Congress, had called the subsidy payments made by the Jonathan administration a fraud!They claimed that the amo |
