Billyonaire: Ofcourse, Pastor Chris has expounded on the crude teachings of Jews and make it more relevant to this generation. Jesus Christ used parables to expound on the teachings to make it relevant to his generation. I chose to listen to Pastor Chris Podcast on the teachings than Jesus' parables, because I understand Chris better and its updated for this generation. Both of them are teachers of their times.
The challenge i have with u is u are trying to equate both Jesus and Chris together. One is Christ while the other is just a mere man like me and u. u also can be a great teacher if u do ur homework well, spend time with ur lord and do less of GEJ sycophancy

Billyonaire: Hahahahaha; blasphemy is a control stigma against quest for dynamism of Dogma. I chose to think different, and you call it Blasphemy. Okay, I have blasphemed. I say, Pastor Chris has impacted more on this generation than Jesus [/b]and Mohammed joined together. And I am right.
[b]How dare u. Chris himself dares not say such.

Billyonaire: Let me be frank. The teachings of Pastor Chris Oyhakilome has impacted more enlightenment in many, than the teachings of Jesus Christ. His Teachings are for these times while teachings of Jesus were meant for people of his times. I am not religious, but I love motivational speeches.
Billygoat, u just blasphemed. Teachings of Jesus christ is the foundation and holds much more effect and impact than that of any man, chris inclusive. without this, will pastor chris have anything to teach?

confusion247: You've said it all. The choice is ours, give them the money and have unlimited access to the oil or withhold the money and no access to the oil.
It doesnt work that way. In order to achieve that, we all need to discuss and re-negotiate our basis of being together. Lagos for instance will claim if that is the case give me all that comes from the Port, either air or sea. Am sure other regions will claim something no matter how little it may be instead of everything first going to the center.

I for one will like us to go back to regionalism as as the case in the first republic. An SNC is needed to discuss issues like this. NASS isnt even empowered to discuss such.

Eziachi: You can hardly blame them, as no one knew about basic amenities in the creeks when others had been siphoning the same money for close to 46 years and now its their turn, we are telling them about being reasonable. It doesn't work like that.
Wait until its the turn of the Igbos proper, if ever, that is.
I perfectly understand ur point of view hoever i hope u are not insinuating that during these 46yrs of plundering, there where no ND collaborators that made these plundering successful. No matter how few compared to the owners of Nigeria, They were surely there.
Its good to say that the plundering was done by others and themselves to the detriment of the majority inhabitants.

Then the cycle continues. another set of crooks will one day spring up from no where with better tactics. Emancipation is not a day's job. it should be a constant thing and with time we all can shout hallelujah. As it is now, nothing is being done.

HNosegbe: I CANNOT BELIEVE that someone is actually justifying this. Has it gotten so bad that we now justify every misstep of this government? How can we justify such blind diversion of our resources? Hasn't the government considered that if the plight of Niger Deltans had proactively been taken care of, the "legitimacy" of these criminals (because that is what they are) would have been removed?

The truth is gradually coming out grin grin grin

MAKURDI – Benue State Government has dragged Dr. Doyin Okupe,
Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan, on Public Affairs, before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for the recovery of over N635.7 million owed the state government for a contract not executed
.

[b]Benue State Commissioner for Works and Transport, Mr. Benjamin
Ashaver, told journalists in Makurdi, yesterday, [/b]that necessary petitions had been sent to the anti-graft agency. He said the move became necessary to help the state recover the funds. It will be recalled that Governor Gabriel Suswam, weekend, had hinted that he was not properly briefed on the matter by his predecessor, former Governor George Akume, hence his inability to dabble into the issue. He said this left him in the dark as to what actually transpired at the time.

However, the Commissioner for Works and Transport, yesterday, insisted that the current administration was now bent on recovering the balance of N635.7 million from the failed contract. Contract Ashaver explained that Akume awarded the contract to Okupe’s company, Value Trust Investment Limited for the construction of 230-kilometer rural roads on April 21, 2004 at N2.3 billion.

He said: “The government at that time made a 30 percent advance payment of N691 million to the contractor to commence work and by July 17, 2006, the total amount paid to the contractor stood at N886.8 million.” He said although the project was expected to be completed within 18 months from the date of award, the contractor failed to meet the target, adding that the amount of work done was later valued at N195.7 million before the contractor abandoned the site.
Ashaver said: “Due to non-performance, the contractors have been reported to EFCC for the recovery of balance on the advance
payment of N635.7 million due to Benue State Government.”

Politics › Tinubu Blows Hot Truth From The United States. by Demdem(op): 8:17am On Aug 23, 2012
President Goodluck Jonathan today announced a new rebranding scheme for officials of his government, blaming the mass media for its poor image.

Mr. Jonathan was speaking at the Presidential Villa where he unveiled a new performance assessment scheme for his ministers, a mechanism which, he said, will help highlight government’s targets and achievements in all sectors of governance.

He blamed the necessity for the new performance evaluation mechanism on the mass media, which he said no longer reflects the voice of the ordinary man.

“Before, the media used to be the voice of the ordinary people,” he said in his speech. “But now, the media is the voice of those who own the media houses and those who owned the media houses have private jets and those who own private jets are not ordinary people.”

[b]The remarks came at a time that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who leads the opposition Action Congress (ACN), and who owns newspapers of his own, was describing the government Jonathan leads as a massive bureaucracy suffering from “elephantiasis.”

Mr. Tinubu was in Washington DC, and speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies on the subject, “Current Developments in Nigeria; The View of the Opposition.”

The former Lagos State governor has emerged as one of the most vocal critics of the Jonathan administration. Mr. Tinubu is also known to be working with other opposition parties towards unseating the PDP federal administration in 2015.

He told his American audience that the federal government is too powerful, and that this has led to deeper corruption as well as other problems.

Said Mr. Tinubu, “We are at our worst poverty level, education is degenerating, industries are moving out of Nigeria, we have zero capital development project, the only thing the government is doing is borrowing, and we have Boko Haram.”

He spoke about the need to decentralize political power as a panacea for these problems, pointing out how Mr. Jonathan has authority over the federal legislature, a pattern that he said has been the case since the PDP assumed control in 1999.

Mr. Tinubu cited some examples to illustrate how the federal government ignores other political voices in the country, stressing that Mr. Jonathan ignores such suggestions because he is a beneficiary of the system.

“You can’t fight corruption because the government itself is corrupt,” he said. “Majority of the perpetrators made financial contributions to ensure the president wins the election, so he cannot prosecute them.”
He said that as a result of the record of the PDP, Nigerians have lost faith in government, stressing,

“Enough of PDP in our lives, they have been tagged as Poverty Development Party.”

On the current insecurity in the country, he said that as leader of the opposition, the ACN has made proposals to the federal government, including subsiding farming, especially in the North, so that Boko Haram will no longer be able to recruit the unemployed and beggars.

“If they have jobs, they won’t be going about killing people, and it will improve their nutrition value,” he said of the militants. “Concerning Jos, all the federal government needs to do is create another local government for the people.
[/b]

Mr. Jonathan’s blame of the media returns attention to the subject of his performance in office, as he has so far failed to honour any of his electoral promises, including fighting corruption and providing jobs. Only last month, he refused to declare his assets publicly, which gave an additional black eye to his government.

“So the same man who says he does not give a damn about declaring his assets wants to blame the media for not polishing the awful image of his government?” a media analyst asked today. “And now he wants a “performance evaluation” designed and implemented by his government that will make the government an achiever? Why does he not begin by giving a damn?”

Of cos they will. Its a matter of time. Another criminous group will spring up for no where for the same marginalisation reason. The enviroment is still miserable than before. it would have been better if all these funds are spent on the enviroment as regards infrastructures instead of going to personal hands.

New presidential attack dog, Dr. Doyin Okupe, road construction contracts from the governments of Benue and Imo States and got substantial payments, his lawyers have admitted.

On his behalf, the Lagos law firm of Yemi Gbonegun and Co said today that the rural road construction contracts were awarded in 2004 and 2005 to companies in which Dr. Okupe has substantial interests and served as Chairman, but denied they were awarded to him personally.

And beyond the mobilization payments, those companies received other payments over a period exceeding two years continuously for work done, the statement said.

These MEND foools told us they were fighting for the emancipation of the Niger-delta however recent events has revealed that they were indeed fighting for the emancipation of their pockets. Actually, nothing is wrong in fighting for ones pockets but when one remembers that innocent lives were lost in achieving these selfish desires of theirs, one is forced to call for justice on behalf of families that lost loved ones as a results of these foools acts.

The ND region still needs to be emancipated. The vast majority of the people are suffering and there hasnt been any real efforts by the govts to help them till date. Amnesty money is simply going to crooks. Amnesty to me is a fraud and its not in anyway solving the problems of the Niger-delta.

President Jonathan's High-Priced Militants: Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, Ateke Tom Paid Millions of Dollars Annually


America’s Wall Street Journal today revealed [/b]the mind-boggling million dollar sums that the Nigerian government has been paying Niger Delta warlords to keep them off the oil pipelines in the past 12 months.

[b]Mr. Dokubo Asari, the former warlord that first shot to national limelight collects $9million every year to keep his estimated 4000 soldiers at bay. ‘General’ Ateke Toms and ‘General‘ Ebikabowei Boyloaf Victor Ben collect $3.5million apiece while General Government Tompolo Ekpumopolo is the most priced of all: he gets $22.5 million yearly.


The newspaper said the figures were gotten from senior officials of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, which makes the payment direct to these warlords.

While Dokubo shrugged off the huge payment he receives, about N1.44 billion, as nothing unusual, there is the belief that the selective payments have bred some jealousy among other militants, not so rewarded, who in reaction continue to pillage Nigeria’s crude oil pipelines. Nigeria loses no less than 10 per cent of its crude production to oil thieves on prowl in the Niger Delta, despite the programme of pacification called the Amnesty Programme.

By Shell’s account, no less than 150,000 barrels of Nigeria’s production are stolen daily, a very low estimate in the eyes of many Niger Delta watchers.

The Wall Street Journal said in its report that government plans to spend $450 million on the amnesty programme this year alone, despite the increasing theft of crude in the region.

Said the respected journal: The gilded pacification campaign is offered up by the government as a success story. But others say the program, including a 2009 amnesty, has sent young men in Nigeria’s turbulent delta a different message: that militancy promises more rewards than risks.
