Politics / Buhari’s 2016 Budget: A Consolidation Of Corruption By Saharareporters by Biafra1000: 9:04pm On Sep 05, 2016
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only
for such time as the State can shield the people from the
political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It
thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to
repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus
by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” - Joseph
Goebbels

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they
will believe it.” - Adolf Hitler

President Mohammadu Buhari promised CHANGE in the days and
months leading to the last presidential elections. For a country in
comatose, stagnated in misery and miasma, CHANGE was the sing
song. At a point in the journey to the presidential elections, Buhari, to
and for Nigeria, became much more than the promise of CHANGE. He
became the CHANGE that the majority of Nigerians were seeking.

Thanks to the hitherto unprecedented propaganda in the history of
Nigeria. It was a dexterous devilish manipulation of information that
turned Mohammadu Buhari from the Satan that Nigerians have rejected
at the polls for the previous 16 years into a Saint all of a sudden. He
became the messiah. He became the savior. Hope rose to high
heavens. Excitement was enormously generated. The enthusiasm was
pervasive. It was all encompassing. Buhari was everybody’s man.
Everyone was Buhari’s man. And woman!

The lies about Buhari were very big but were kept very simple in
deference to the gospel according to Adolf Hitler. His party and
handlers kept saying those lies repeatedly and consistently.
Eventually, Nigerians believed the lies hook, line and sinker. In the
face of historical facts to the contrary, Buhari became a man of
integrity! Buhari became a man of competence! Buhari became
incorruptible!

After sixteen years of trial, Buhari became the President of Nigeria.
Contesting for an office for sixteen years consecutively would have
meant an adequate preparation and deep grasp of the issues involved.
The advantage of ruling the same country once before the second
coming was also expected to be helpful. He was expected to know
exactly what to do. Buhari was supposed to be the man with a plan;
the man with the solution; the savior to salvage and save; the messiah
to mesmerize, untie the shackles and set Nigeria free on the path to
freedom and realization of its potentials.

Some of us believe that Buhari is and has always been incompetent. In
addition to his incompetence, he is also corrupt as facts of history
have attested to. Not just by his actions, but by his utterances that are
well documented for and by History. But on this second coming, the
day he began to deny himself and what he promised Nigerians during
his campaign, it was crystal clear that he had no plans for Nigeria. It
was clear he had no solutions. It was clear that he is more of the
same. At that time, there was no new proof. But now he has provided a
brand new proof to Nigerians and for the world to behold. And that
proof is his Budget for the Year 2016!

We should let President Buhari’s 2016 Budget figures speak for
themselves.

In an administration fighting against corruption, that is in need of
diversification President Buhari has presented a Budget that would
appropriate N29.7 billion to his Ministry of Agriculture in comparison
to N115 billion to a “do nothing” National Assembly. Even when you
add the planned appropriation for the Universal Basic Education (N77.1
billion) together with the Ministry of Agriculture (N29.1billion), the
National Assembly still gulps about N15 billion more than them. What a
priority!

Nigeria is in need of security no doubt. But this ought not be an
excuse for irresponsible spending and uncalled for duplication.
President Buhari budgeted N294.5 billion for the Ministry of Defense.
The Ministry of Interior also have a lot to do with the security of the
country and has a budget of N145.2 billion. We also have the Nigerian
Police Formation and Command budget at N283.09 billion. Then there
is tucked somewhere in the budget something called Operation Lafiya
Dole to cost Nigerian Tax Payers N10 billion. “Lafiya Dole” is an Hausa
Language expression that means “Compulsory Peace” or “Peace by
Force.” If you add up the four, it gives you N732.79 billion.

With over N732.79 billion to these all important Ministries and
Department that deal with our security, can President Buhari explain to
Nigerians what his National Security Adviser would be doing with
additional N57.7 billion? This National Security Adviser allocation is an
amount that is higher than the funds allocated to the Ministries of
Transportation, Water Resources, Works, Power and Housing put
together! Haba!

President Buhari promised to create employment for the suffering
Nigerian youths. But he only budgeted only N7.8 billion for the
Ministry of Labour and Employment. He also budgeted N9.5billion for
the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, a sector that could easily
generate high employment if properly funded and managed. Science
and Technology Ministry received only N25.8 billion. Also remember
that the Ministries of Transportation and Water Resources received
N13.7 billion and N7.2 billion respectively.

The immediate paragraph above contains five of the most important
Ministries that could have positive impact on the people if any
government is serious at all. Their total expenditure is N64 billion.
This is less than what President Buhari, the man who promised us
CHANGE, allocated to his Minister of Special Duties N72.8 billion! Pray,
what are the Special Duties to be done that they should cost so much?
Then add N45.3 billion allocated to the Office of the Secretary to the
Federal Government and Office of the Head of Service, N6.4 billion.
What further evidence of misapplication of funds that consolidates
corruption do we need than all these?

But wait a minute! President Buhari has allocated to the Federal
Character Commission N2.09 billion! For goodness’ sake, what do they
do in that Commission that would cost the Nigerian Tax Payers this
much just in One Year? Then there is what is called Outsourced
Services that would cost N5 billion and Presidential Amnesty Program
which would also cost N20 billion. Who are the targets of this
Amnesty Program? Is it Boko Haram Terrorists, or Niger Delta
Militants? Or who?

It is perfidious on the part of President Buhari and a betrayal of
Nigeria’s future to budget only N29.7 billion for Min of Agriculture, N
7.8 billion for Labour & Employment and N10.5 billion to Industry,
Trade and Investment which all put together would be less than the
57.7 billion allocated to his National Security Adviser outside the over
N732 billion already allocated to different facets for security purposes.
This is wastage, it is corruption and it is mismanagement.

Why did President Buhari budget N45 billion for INEC in a year when
there is no national elections? What is this money for? Is this money
just for salaries or other assignments? If this amount is for
assignments, what is the nature of those assignments? Nigerians
deserve answers to these questions.

President Buhari needs to explain to Nigerians what Mr. Lai
Mohammed would be doing with N39.1billion allocated to his
Information Ministry that would be more important that what Ministry
of Transportation N13.7 billion, Ministry of Water Resources N7.2
billion and the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment N10.5
billion would be doing? These three Ministries’ allocation put together
is less than Lai Mohammed’s Ministry of Information! Haven’t we had
enough propaganda and lies told to Nigerians?

Buhari was expected to have prudence as his watchword. But the
opposite is what we are witnessing. Otherwise, how could President
Buhari justify the proposed spending of N400 million on a weekend
symposium? Yes, the 35th Annual General Meeting and Symposium of
Shelter Afrique slated for June 2016! How can an administration that is
yelling against wastage and corruption approve such amount of money
for a two day affair?

It is interesting to know that N2.3 billion would be showered on all
former Heads of State, Presidents and their deputies just within one
year alone. This is upon the mismanagement and tragedy they have all
visited on this country. However, more interesting is the N19.9 billion
budget that President Buhari and his coteries in the Presidency would
spend in the coming year.

The most scandalous part of the Budget is what a commentator on
social media described as follows:

“N1.75 billion for President Muhammadu Buhari's feeding in 2016 is a
direct attack on collective commonsense of Nigeria and a stark
contrast to his promised Change.

Is it not fraud for Buhari to deceive Nigeria by publicly drinking N10
Milo sachet (tea) during the Presidential election campaign?


Even if Buhari is feeding Sharks, Whales and Buffaloes in Aso Rock,
N1.75billion is too much for one man, when millions of Nigerians are
finding it difficult to feed even once a day.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan was almost roasted for budgeting
N1billion in 2011 and reducing it even to N717.3m in 2013, N542m in
2014 and N530million in 2015, but Nigerians are silent on these
reckless squandering by Dr Buhari.”

Lies and propaganda can suffice, but only for a while. The truths
always catch up, no matter how long it takes. All the lies that were
used to deceive the unwary in the days and months leading to the
2015 Presidential Elections when we were clamouring for a credible
alternative to both the “clueless” Goodluck Jonathan and the “hapless”
Mohammadu Buhari are now exposing themselves.

“You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the
people all of the time,” so posited by Marcus Garvey and lyricised by
Bob Marley. Nigerians were fooled that a man who is unable to explain
the disappearance of $2.8 billion under his nose is a man of integrity
and competence. Nigerians were fooled that a man who praised Sani
Abacha to high heavens and insisted that Abacha never stole a dime,
is a man of integrity and honour!

But time is already telling on those lies. And Nigerians are witnesses
to the infancy of the miseries and hardships that are about to unfold!
“In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been
granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I
do not shrink from this responsibility – I welcome it.”
- John F. Kennedy, in his Inaugural Address January 20, 1961

Education / Abia Exco Approved The Relocation Of ABSU Law Faculties And Humanities. by Biafra1000: 12:54pm On Aug 26, 2016
The Abia State Executive Council has approved #10,000 reduction of
the Abia State University (ABSU) school fees for Abia indigenes in
ABSU.

Also approved is the immediate relocation of the Faculties of Law and
Humanities to Umuahia while Faculty of Engineering is to be relocated
to Aba.

The Commissioner for Information, Culture and Strategy, Comrade
Bonnie Iwuoha disclosed these while addressing journalists after this
week’s EXCO meeting. The Commissioner informed that the reduction
in school fees was to encourage poor and needy Abia indigenes to go
to school, adding that each student from Abia would prove his identity
by presentation of tax receipts of their parents or guidance and
biometrically.

Comrade Iwuoha further said that in an effort to improve IGR in the
State, government has withdrawn all previous approval given to MDAs
which permitted them to collect all forms of revenue, saying that,
henceforth, all such money should be paid into the IGR account made
available by the BIR.

According to the Information boss, rehabilitation of Umuahia water
project is on and it will serve Umuahia North, Umuahia South and
Ikwuano, while steps are are on to restore water supply in Aba.
Also work has commenced in Ohambele, where 100,000 oil palm
seedlings have been planted with hope that Abia will become one of
the major producers of palm oil.

On education, the 1st phase of the free school meal programme has
successfully been tested and the 2nd phase will take place when
schools resume.

The EXCO also approved the enforcement of State and Local
government joint projects, especially to ensure rural roads are fixed.

Politics / Ekiti Assembly Prescribes 6 Months Jail Term For Herdsmen by Biafra1000: 7:31am On Aug 26, 2016
Ado-Ekiti-Ekiti State House of Assembly on thursday prescribed six
months jail term for any herdsmen who allow his cattle, sheep and
goat to graze on undesignated land for ranches in Ekiti.

The bill which was unanimously passed at the plenary sitting of the
Assembly, seek to regulate public grazing in the state.
The passage of the bill followed the submission of report of Joint
Committees on Agriculture and Environment by its Chairman, Mr
Ayodele Fajemilehin, to committee of the whole House.

The Speaker of the House, Mr Kola Oluwawole, who presided over
Tuesday plenary said the bill would now reduce the incessant
clashes between farmers and herdsmen in the state.

oluwawole said "if the bill is eventually accented to by the governor,
it will now become crime for any cattle, sheep and goat to graze on
undesignated land for ranches in Ekiti.

According to the new bill tagged," Prohibition of Cattle and Other
Ruminants Grazing in Ekiti, 2016", anyone found violating the bill
upon conviction shall be sentenced to six months in prison without
option of fine.

Others included, "The Governor shall by an order designates land in
each of 16 Local Government Areas in the state in respect of which
Cattle or Ruminants may be permitted to graze.

The rest are," No person shall cause or permit any cow, oxen, sheep
as well as goat under his or her control to graze on any land in
which the Governor has not designated as ranches" among others.
The bill forbids movement of cattle by herdsmen and owners of goat
in the Ekiti after 6 p.m.

"No cattle or other ruminants shall by any means move in the night,
movement shall be between 7 a.m and 6p.m".

Meanwhile, the Assembly observed a minute silence for the four
World Bank officials who lost their lives when their boat capsized at
Egbe Dam in Gbonyin Local Government Area of the state.

Chief Gboyega Aribisogan, a member representing Ikole Constituency
11 had earlier called the attention of others members to the mishap,
describing the situation as putting the state into mourning.

Politics / The Igbo Has Been A Blessing To Nigeria By Reno Omokri by Biafra1000: 6:39pm On Aug 23, 2016
On the 15th of August 1945, the axis nations fighting in the Pacific
theater defeated imperial Japan and two weeks later, Japan formally
surrendered to allied forces led by the U.S. General, Douglas
McArthur, who formally accepted the signed articles of surrender.
But though the U.S. defeated Japan, they never decimated Japan’s
great technological and industrial complex. They were visionary
enough to distinguish these from Japan’s military industrial
complex, which they scrapped.

Realizing that Japan was decades ahead of the West in many
technologies, the allied powers, led by the US, allowed those
industries to remain as a going concern and took the unique step of
enacting legislation and policies to enable them flourish.

What they did in Japan, they also did in Europe. In Europe, the US,
acting unilaterally, even went a step further by introducing the
Marshall Plan through which America sent financial and other types
of aid to help Europe (and especially Germany) recover from the
ravages of the Second World War.

The point of the allied and American actions in Japan and Europe is
that technological advancement belongs to the human race and
should not be allowed to suffer because of a quarrel or war amongst
humans.
This lesson was thoroughly established in 642 AD when the Library of
Alexandria was burnt to the ground during the Muslim conquest of
Egypt.

It has been argued that that act set the world several centuries back
in technological advancement and has become something to watch
out for during the prosecution of a war.

A war is a quarrel between or amongst people that is settled by
means of violence. It is not a quarrel between or amongst technology,
so civilized nations have pursued the policy of fighting wars while
preserving technology.

Gone should be the days of the scorched earth policy which is why
despite the bestiality of the apartheid regime, President Nelson
Mandela did not do a Mugabe, but rather left intact White owned
farms, industry and universities and only insisted that they be opened
to Blacks and other races.

This brings me to Nigeria. I would like to state a fact that will be
argued against, but still a fact that even those who would argue
against it know to be true.

The Igbo (or Ibo) ethnic nationality of Nigeria are the most
technologically advanced Black race on planet earth, bar none!
This is a fact. A fact that was proven to be true for 30 months while
they were landlocked in their constantly shrinking enclave known as
Biafra.

Cut off from the rest of the world, the ingenuity of the Igbo came to
the fore during the civil war as they constructed the Uli airstrip and
when that airstrip was bombed, they repaired it in record time and
under the most trying circumstances. They would go on to repair Uli
not once and not twice.

The Igbos refined petrol from a variety of non fossil fuels, including
from but not limited to palm products (from which they also produced
diesel) and manufactured surface to air missiles which they also
adapted to surface to surface missiles (theOgbunigwe).

They converted commercial planes to fighter jets and weaponized
them. That was no mean feat in 1967.

In fact, when in 2012, the Nigerian Army rolled out the igirigi and
promoted it as the first indigenous armored personnel carrier, they
were wrong. I am not a Biafran. I am proudly Nigerian. And beyond
that, I am a proud dark skinned Black African yet I make bold to say
that the igirigi is not the first indigenous APC. In fact, the first
indigenous armored personnel carrier in Black Africa is the Red Devil,
built by the Igbos during the Nigerian Civil War.

The Nigerian Civil War ended in January 1970 and the Nigerian Army
unveiled theigirigi in July of 2012. If they had converted the Red Devil
to their own use, they would probably be talking about a greater feat
in the year 2012.

My question is what happened in the intervening 42 years between
1970 and 2012? Why didn’t the Nigerian Army integrate the military
industrial complex of Biafra into its Defence Industry Corporation of
Nigeria, DICON?
Why did we have to reinvent the wheel at great cost in terms of time
and money?

The Nigerian Civil War ended on a note of ‘no victor no
vanquished’. That was a watershed moment inspired by the
Christlike mind of General Yakubu Gowon. That gesture is to be
applauded.

But why did we as a nation not go the whole hog and take advantage
of Biafra’s technological advances and integrate her scientists into
our Research and Development sector much like the US did with
German and Japanese scientists?

That is where we failed as a nation.
I remember growing up as a child and how other Nigerians scoffed at
‘Igbo made’ electronic products. There was hardly anything
including electronics, pharmaceuticals, spirits and wines that the
Igbos could not counterfeit.

And rather than our leaders seeing the potential in those products, we
all scoffed at them. Igbo made products were a pariah.
Did it ever occur to any of our leaders that if government had
supported these technological advancement, Nigeria could have
become an industrialized nation today and Igbo made products would
have been exported abroad as made in Nigeria products?
It would surprise many that a number of the greatest technological
advancement and products that came out of America after the Second
World War were the work of German or Japanese scientists!
In an operation code named Operation Paperclip, 1500 German
scientists, engineers and technicians were airlifted to the United
States and given US permanent US residency and citizenship
immediately after the defeat of Germany in 1945. The primary aim of
Operation Paperclip was to prevent these skilled men and women
from falling into Soviet Russian hands.

Hans Erich (Eric) Hollmann who was one of the fathers of radar
technology was one of such scientists airlifted to America. Kurt
Lehovec the pioneer of the integrated circuit systems in electrical
engineering is another. He was airlifted to America in 1945 where he
became a Professor at the University of Southern California and
passed on his knowledge to America’s next generation of scientists.
The allies had been having issues with the jet engine and were not
able to develop planes like the German Messerschmitt Me 262. But
after the defeat of Germany, US forces gave safe passage to Rudi
Beichel who went to the US and became an adviser to the US army on
liquid propulsion. Other German scientists such as Magnus
“Mac” Freiherr von Braun and his brother, Wernher Von Braun
helped reverse engineer German jets which led to the development of
the US American F-86 Sabres, a plane that helped the US dominate
the air during the Korean War.

More importantly, Wernher Von Braun provided much of the know
how that helped America build the Apollo spacecraft which allowed
America beat Russia as the first nation to get to the moon.

Methamphetamine was invented by Japanese a Japanese chemist,
Nagai Nagayoshi and the drug was shared with their German allies
and helped their soldiers stay awake and focus. After the war, German
scientists helped American scientist synthesize the drug which
revolutionized the US health industry.

Why can’t we do the same in Nigeria? Can you imagine what our
technological base would have been if we as a nation had a policy of
patronizing the so called Igbo made products right from the end of
the war till today? What if we had absorbed the the Research and
Production Organisation of Biafra (RAP as it was then known) into the
Nigerian Army Corps of Engineers?

By now, we may have been manufacturing jets and we would not be
dependent on foreign nations for weapons to fight terrorists.
This is why I was so disgusted with the minister of science and
technology, Ogbonnaya Onu for aspiring, on Nigeria’s behalf, to
produce pencils by 2018!

I mean this man is the first civilian governor of the old Abia state
which today encompasses both Abia and Ebonyi states.
Right there, under his own nose, Nigerians of Igbo extraction, without
ANY governmental support, are manufacturing electronics and heavy
machinery components and Onu is caught up on pencils!
Onu should visit Nnewi if he knows where it is. Right there he would
see a city that does not wait for government. Nnewi people are so
industrious that after years of waiting endlessly for government to
provide basic amenities, they have built their own roads, have their
own power stations and their own water works.
Just like Japan, Nnewi has manufacturers of such things like
batteries, pistons, automobiles and other products. These Nnewi
manufacturers have built schools for the kids of their workers on site,
just like in Japan.

You just need to visit Nnewi or Aba to see what is going on in
Biafra. These guys are Nigeria’s most guarded secret because even
the federal government is not aware of them.
And the reason why this is so is because these people are Igbos!
It is time for Nigeria to forgive the Igbos for being Igbo and accept
them as full partners and equal partners in the Nigerian project and
use the entire strength of the Nigerian federal government to provide
them the support to fulfill their destiny as the Black African people
that are nucleus of the technological advancement of Africa.
Notice I say Africa, not just Nigeria. I don’t say this lightly. All over
West and Central Africa, Nigerians of Igbo extraction are the backbone
of the commercial and technological sectors.

I can say what I have said above without any accusation of self or
group interest promotion because I am not Igbo neither am I married
to one. I have said the truth as my conscience sees it because I am
committed to advancement of the Black Race because as a proud
Black man, I know that no black African tribe is as great as the Black
