The country is Broke so Govt. is looking at all avenues to raise revenue.

They have been building this refinery for the past five years, a host of them were awarded licences to build and operate refineries by the obasanjo regime. The truth is that they all will continue bulding these refineries over the next 20 years without commissioning until we have full deregulating in the oil industry. No serious person or financier will put in money to a project where the price of input/crude is not controlled and the price of the output is.

Mohammed Marwa (died 1980), best known by his nickname Maitatsine, was an Islamic scholar in Nigeria.

He was originally from Marwa in northern Cameroon. After his education he moved to Kano, Nigeria in about 1945, where he became known for his controversial preachings on the Qur'an. Maitatsine claimed to be a prophet.[1] Although a Koranic scholar, he seemingly rejected the hadith and the sunnah and regarded the reading of any other book but the Koran as paganism. Maitatsine spoke against the use of radios, watches, bicycles and the possession of more money than necessary.[2]

His dissent was disliked by the government, and he was exiled to Cameroon in the early 1960s. He returned to Kano and by 1972 he had a notable and increasingly militaristic following. In 1975 he was again arrested by Nigerian police for slander and public abuse of political authorities. But in that period he began to receive acceptance from religious authorities, especially after making hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. As his following increased in the 1970s, so did the number of confrontations between his adherents and the police. His preaching attracted largely a following of youths, unemployed migrants, and those who felt that mainstream Muslim teachers were not doing enough for their communities. [b]He was killed by Nigerian security forces in 1980 during the Kano insurrection[color=#990000][/color][quote][/quote][/b]

Haha.
Stay in your london. Leave us alone  with your intelligent solutions!
We await ur return so u can drive and ramm ur explosive laden car into police check points.
Guess to much of Aljazera and iraqi stories have blurred ur vision!

Guess i can see who the morons are!
Who said the people detonating the bombs are suicide bombers?
Guess shallow reasoning would not let some people go past the suicide story. Like i mentioned earlier common sense hasmproven that the detonators and planters of these bombs are not on suscide missions So therei is no way there gonna detonate a bomb and kill themselves or at best risk mob lynching.
Its obvious  u dont know abuja(Violet and cold) thats why ur running ur mouth!

Guess some human beings cant reason without spewing words of insult(@Cold, maybe too much of royal mail /baggage carrier work has turned u into slowpoke instead of the thinking being ur supposed to be)
If i may ask. How elites have been killed in alll these bombing nonsense? Do you think the people detonating/manufaturing these bombs want to die(4get all the suicide crap rumours planted everywhere).Common sence and simple analysis reveals that these guys are well to and somewhat skilled(tending more to elites and not common men).with intentions of sneaking in these bombs,running out and watch it detonate from a distance.But yet again common sense is not "common"

If Govt takes action people complain, i guess thats the price of leadership.
This stop and search action no matter how inconvinient  it might seems was a reaction to specific threat of  some human beings driving in bombs to abuja city of which the security agencies were trying to nip.
Would we rather allow the murder of fellow nigerians than be late for civil service work?

These  guys   were  pure  reckless!!!

How   can  you extend over 12 billion  to  one  individual  to  do  speculative  trading   without  collateral?

Some of them  bought  private  jets    junketing   from one state governor's/ministers office  looking  for  high level  patronage  to  hid   their  reckless   behavior.

Ask  any  banker  today( if  he  will tell you  the  truth)  the   bribes these banks- oceanic , zenith, Inter cont. uba  pay  to   civil servants  and  their  political  oga's  to  maintain accounts.  The  hold  close   to  about 70% of  public  sector  deposits and  pay  huge   bribes to  keep them.
Have  you  ever  wondered  why some   govt projects  never materialize?( its because the  like  of  Erastus  and  Cecilia  make interest returns  to  the  project  implementers).

These  guys  have   not been  proper  managers  of the  funds in their   custody, abi   when  did  proper management  start and end  in  headline  photos  with presidents, ministers public  functions and  parties? What  time do they  have   to  even look  at   their  book and   make  proper investment  decisions.

Abeem:
Sanusi held sway as the helmsman at FBN for less than 1 year, so what manner of competition are you talking about.

What competition? His problem with them when he was at FBN was that fist bank being a lead borrower in the Inter-bank market saw the risks and wanted to withdraw its funds
