karpentar:[b]karpenter, i appreciate ur comments no doubt and i intend attending to those salient points u raised. Firstly, i have been dealing with Beaf for some time here on this forum and i understand how he operates. The best way to handle peeps like him is the same way i am presently, i do not have any apology for that. Secondly,NL is a forum where various topics are raised and anyone can raise any topic one deem fit. This thread is for a specific topic and how nice will it be if we all just stick to the topic. What u raised has and currently being discussed on other threads and contributors are commenting on such so it isnt true that FG is ONLY the main focus. Its true so much corruption is going on in all these states however there is little or nothing anyone can do to confront these powerful govs if the FG doesnt wake up to its responsibility to lead by good example. is it Akpabio u ordinary citizen want to question or amaechi or fashola or Kwankaso etc Akpabio for example is noted to silence his critics violently. The truth is until this whole entity called Nigeria is restructured where the government will solely depend on the people for her sustenance or we have a very responsive, decisive and responsible government at the centre that is ready to effect disclipline downwards, i feel sorry for my nation. The retardeen has already told us that no SNC to restructure ourselves so the only option IMO is to instill the right leadership straight from the top which these states will imbibe hopefully. Dont be deceived. responsible governance wont trickle from downwards upwards, its vice versa. by the way, those qoutes cant be ignored. we all are forced to accept them by virtue of our present structure.[/b] |

Beaf:You obviously didnt read the article, let me help u out bro: The Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Zakari Mohammed (PDP), explained that the legislature had consistently held the view that Nigerians needed to be consulted on the programme. He added, “We have been vindicated because we had initially opposed the hurried manner the SURE document was put together. “We were saying that the funds for this programme needed to be properly appropriated by the National Assembly and more so that we needed to have the details of the programme.” Mohammed, however, commended Jonathan for realising that something went wrong and retracing his steps. The Minority Leader of the House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila (ACN), who shared the same view, told a reliable source in Abuja that the palliatives were a “dummy right from the start.” He argued that the President was merely attempting to “pull the wool” over the faces of Nigerians by promising palliatives that were theirs by right. Gbajabiamila stated, “Under Section 17 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), government is mandated to provide the same services it has promised as palliatives. “The issues of health, transport and all that; these are the fundamental duties that government owes the citizenry. “You cannot give me what rightly belongs to me in the guise of palliatives, while taking away the subsidy that I ought to enjoy. “So, I am not surprised that they have decided to withdraw it; it was a dummy that I never ever bought.” Hope the controversy is clear to u now oga? Beaf:Who are the others that want sure-nonsense? u and ur fellow peeps for here? what i want is the basis of why the retardeen was elected which were his election promises being fulfilled. even if its fulfilled 50%, i am ok. not interested in any sure-nonsense abegii Beaf: Unfortunately for u beaf, i never said such. this is the thread being referenced. i challenged u LIAR beaf to kindly spot out where i made such statementshttps://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-875714.0.html Asaba Japan, i'v been consistent so far unlike u.

Funkymallam:Funkymallam, that is not completely so. instead it was the retardeen that sent the soldiers with their amour tanks to chase people from the streets especially in Lagos where the protest was very successful. NLC isnt to be trusted again and thats the fact. Besides i am tired of all these useless programs the retardeen is talking about, sure-P/Sure-P remix etc. in a situation where even elements from this govt are saying that the whole thing is shredded in fraudulent portions is disheartening. Anyone close to the retardeen should kindly ask him to FFuck all these nonsense sure-p shiit and fullfill all his promises before the elections. Just like someone said, crude is now selling at a high price now and he has increased fuel prices so he has more than enough money to give fullfill his promises for Nigerians. GEJ, forget all these sure-nonsense and fulfill ur campaign promises. why is this so difficult to do. Below are some of it: 1. You Promised to rule for only one term (reference http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12339017) As a man of your words or rather as you want to make us believe, PLEASE stick to this plan and pledge. I sincerely hope we will not have political jobbers, groups like Youths Earnestly Ask for Jonathan, Dbanj, Lagbaja, Sunny Ade all singing for your second term bid? I sincerely hope also, you will not come out and openly deny you didn’t make such promise or statements as you did about the zoning saga. 2. You promised a constitutional role for Traditional Rulers!!! I am short of words but Nigerians are waiting 3. On March 17th 2011, in Dutse the Jigawa state capital, you promised:"If I win the election, within my four years in office, I will establish domestic airports in all the states without airports, WE ARE WAITING. 4.

Then you promised that your administration would establish two universities in the region. The NORTH EAST PEOPLE ARE WAITING, 9. You landed in Port harcourt on Feb 12 where you made alot of promises, maybe to woo your Niger Delta people. Be that as it may, you announced that the NNPC, in partnership with the private sector, would establish a petrochemical plant in the Niger Delta (you didn’t state where exactly). You promised the plant will create job opportunities for the Niger Delta youths. Then you went ahead to promise the implementation of Local Content Law and Petroleum Industry Bill. In case you can’t remember when you made all these, cast your mind back to the stampede that claimed some lives (where your wife called them martyrs). 10. In Kaduna- You promised massive transformation of the agricultural sector through construction of large dams and distribution of one million metric tonnes of fertilizers for the 2011 farming season (The rains are here already, so fulfill your promises o) You also pledged to establish Almajiri model schools to address the challenges of the Almajiris. 11. In Benue-You promised to revolutionize agriculture and establish industries in the country through a five-year plan (We need that Plan now so we can keep track, the five years have started counting already) You also promised to complete the irrigation project in Otukpo. Then you promised that the second Niger Bridge and the Benue Bridge projects will be worked on in the next four years. I think it’s better to start now so by April 2015, we trust you would have completed it. 12. February 17th, you were in Plateau where you made shocked the entire country with amazing promises. First of all, you pledged to refocus on the solid mineral development of the state and make it one of the key revenue sources in Nigeria. The Plateau people are banking on you. Mr President, You promised to build more dams and complete ongoing ones, so as to boost agricultural growth. In addtion you promised to complete the Vom-Manchok-Jos road to boost economic links between Plateau and Kaduna states. You left the state and the Plateau people have been happy ever since and now that you have won, they are waiting 13. Mr President on Feb 21, you were in Kogi.

In Kwara State on Feb22, you pledged that the irrigation project in Shonga would be completed soon to boost the commercial farming activities of the New Nigeria Farmers in the area. Mr president, remember you also said the Jebba-Mokwa road and Jebba bridge would be given adequate attention to ease transportation in the area. Kwarians are waiting! 15. On February 24, Mr. President, you pledged to rehabilitate ALL ailing industries in Aba. I believe all Abians are hoping on you to provide the enabling environment to do their businesses, you must keep your promises, 16. Mr.President, on Feb 25th in Anamabra you said there is a plan to build a power station in the state, assuring that within the next four years your administration would construct and rehabilitate ALL federal roads leading to Anambra as well as the South East. You equally to provide potable water to the densely populated Onitsha and Nnewi cities and tackle erosion in the South-East. To tell you the truth, Mr. President, Anambrians are banking on you! 17. In Ebonyi state, you promised to dualise the Enugu-Abakaliki federal highway in addition to establishing a secretariat for ALL Federal government's agencies and parastatals in Ebonyi. Mr. president, The people of Ebonyi has never had it so good since the creation of their state. Now, you have promised them the good life. Please keeep to your words! 18. In Niger state, you promised the more power generation. Perhaps the most important aspect of your promises is that your government would map out a five-year strategic plan for road projects. (Please we are waiting for the Plan NOW!!!!) 19. On Feb 27, you were in Asaba, the Delta state capital. On that fateful Sunday, you revealed that “The NNPC is developing a new programme that will absorb about 5,000 youths, ”, Mr. President, Deltans are delighted at this REVELATIONS. While that number is a far cry from the number of unemployed youths in the state, at all at all na winch (as they say in Warri), so Deltans are waiting. 20. On March 2nd, you were in Ondo where you pronmised that roads and other basic infrastructure across the states will be developed in four years. In addition you also promised the exploitation of the vast bitumen deposits in the state for national economic development and employment generation. The Ondo people are waiting. Your Four years have started already. You must start now. 21. On the same day, March 2nd, your campaigbn train was in Ekiti state. While there, you promised that more than N50 billion federal intervention projects were ongoing in the state. You can be rest assured that the Fayemi and indeed the entire Ekiti kete are waiting for you. 22. On March 9th, in Sokoto, you promised to rehabilitate the abandoned Shagari irrigation project as well as reviving the nation’s rail system and fight the menace of desertification in the country. Sokoto people have sufffered for too long. This is your time to redeem your pledge, Mr President. The clock is ticking!!! 23.The date was March 12th 2011 and you were in Ogun state. Remember, the day you rode to Abeokuta through rail? Yes, That was the day you promised an improved power supply before the end of the year through the Integrated Power Project (IPP) initiative. You also pledged to build more refineries, encourage downstream activities, resuscitate rail transportation and create jobs. In case you have forgotten, that was the day that Gbenga Daniel (your South West campaign coordinator was booed by the Ogun people). 24.On March 14th, your campaign trained moved to Kebbi where you promised to establish a federal university next year (2012). You also promised to create jobs through science and technology, tackle environmental challenges and boost health care delivery. 25.Katsina, was your port of call on March 15 where you promised to enhance the living standard of Nigerians through implementation of people-oriented programmes that would provide citizens the necessary opportunities to realise their potentials. In my opinion, this was just mere rhetorics as you did not make any concrete promises. or did you have the premonition, you will lose in Katsina? I might just be right. 26.In Kano, you pledged to resuscitate the nation’s power sector and encourage the development of small and medium scale enterprises in the country while ensuring justice, equity and fair play in the polity. Mr.President, Space and Time will not allow me to list the deluge of promises in Lagos, Osun, Borno, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Imo, Taraba, Jigawa, Edo, Bayelsa and Zamfara states. If you can accomplish all your promises in the next four years, then you will go down memory lane as the best President ever. I’m all honesty, I wish you GoodLuck!!! |

| The traitors (NLC) have now seen that they have been fooled. The stage appeared set for another round of showdown between President Goodluck Jonathan and labour unions on the issue of fuel subsidy with labour on Tuesday asking the Federal Government to revert the pump price of petrol to N65 per litre. The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria said the Jonathan administration had no option other than to reverse the price from its present N97 to the old N65 per litre since the President had said he was rethinking the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment programme. Jonathan on Monday reportedly told chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party at their 58th National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja that implementation of the palliatives to cushion the effects of subsidy removal were no longer feasible. The President said the palliatives had been based on the 100 per cent removal of subsidy on local consumption of fuel. “This (SURE) is developed with the expectation that we were going to completely deregulate the Downstream sector of the oil industry, the 100 per cent removal of subsidy… we will still come up with a document based on what we get,” he told the PDP members and ordered them to withdraw the circulated SURE document. The SURE programme had been hurriedly designed in January to douse the tension generated by the sudden removal of subsidy and consequent jump in the pump price of petrol. The Senate has said it is backing the action of the President. Leader of the Senate, Victor Ndoma-Egba, said Jonathan made the plans based on zero-subsidy arrangement and for which the 2012 budget was prepared. “The President said he wanted to remove subsidy, Nigerians said they don’t want it removed. Now that he was not able to realise his plan, where will he get the money to carry out that policy,” Ndoma-Egba said. He, however, stated that the President would still need to work with the savings made from the partial removal of subsidy. “The President will have to look at the proceeds from partial deregulation and work with what is saved. That is the reason why the document earlier produced should be revised to reflect the current realities,” he said. Apart from the NLC and the ASCN, the House of Representatives also on Tuesday took a swipe at the President and said it was vindicated concerning its pessimism over the government palliatives. The Acting General Secretary of the NLC, Mr. Owei Lakemfa, in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents on Tuesday said the Federal Government had no option but to revert the fuel pump price from the current N97 to the pre-2012 pump price of fuel. He said that a recent advertisement in a national daily in which the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, claimed that the Federal Government realised N15b allocation from the proposed subsidy savings supported the claim that the Federal Government was making some money from the regime change in the pump price of fuel and that the funds realised from the fuel price increase should be adequately utilised to execute projects. According to Lakemfa, the Federal Government is only trying to prepare the minds of Nigerians against expecting results from the increase in the pump price of petrol in the country by announcing the withdrawal of the programme. He urged the government to fulfil its promise to use the proceeds of fuel price increase to construct roads, build a second Niger bridge, and other promises contained in the SURE document. He said that the Nigerian citizenry was seriously interested in what the Federal Government could do with the proceeds from the increase in the pump price of petroleum products. He called on the Federal Government to ensure that the Ministries of Petroleum and Finance were cleansed based on the serious discoveries made at the Subsidy Probe by the House of Representatives. “Right from the onset, organised labour believed that the Federal Government was not sincere with this programme but the government claimed that we were going to get results in six months. What government is saying now is that we should not expect results,” the NLC scribe said. Also, the House of Representatives said that it was not surprised that the President withdrew its promised fuel subsidy removal palliatives. The House noted that the development vindicated its opposition to the SURE programme, particularly the “hurried manner” the executive introduced the document without consulting the National Assembly. The Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Zakari Mohammed, explained that the legislature had consistently held the view that Nigerians needed to be consulted on the programme. He added, “We have been vindicated because we had initially opposed the hurried manner the SURE document was put together. “We were saying that the funds for this programme needed to be properly appropriated by the National Assembly and more so that we needed to have the details of the programme.” Mohammed, however, commended Jonathan for realising that something went wrong and retracing his steps. The Minority Leader of the House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, who shared the same view, told a reliable source in Abuja that the palliatives were a “dummy right from the start.” He argued that the President was merely attempting to “pull the wool” over the faces of Nigerians by promising palliatives that were theirs by right. Gbajabiamila stated, “Under Section 17 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), government is mandated to provide the same services it has promised as palliatives. “The issues of health, transport and all that; these are the fundamental duties that government owes the citizenry. “You cannot give me what rightly belongs to me in the guise of palliatives, while taking away the subsidy that I ought to enjoy. “So, I am not surprised that they have decided to withdraw it; it was a dummy that I never ever bought.” [b]Criticising the President, the National Publicity Secretary of the CPC, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, said the administration was not committed to responsible governance. “All along, as a party, we knew the idea of SURE was a knee-jerk response to the people’s protest and not a well thought-out intervention to stymie the dire impoverishment of the people,” Fashakin said. President, Campaign for Democracy, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, said it was evident from the outset that Jonathan was not committed to the implementation of the SURE programme. “They never meant it (SURE). It was just propaganda to make people swallow poison. Corruption still persists so how can anyone trust the regime to implement SURE. Cosmetic palliatives can never cushion any effect,” she said. The Secretary-General of ASCSN and founding Secretary-General of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, Mr. Solomon Onaghinon, in an interview with one of our correspondents said, “There is social crisis in Nigeria.” He said, “There were no palliatives in the first place; I have always said that those palliatives do not make sense because government said they would be paying salaries on the 20th of every month but have they paid? There is no palliative. “For those people who really listened carefully, they would have known that there was no palliative. If the President said the palliatives are no longer feasible, let him bring the fuel price back to N65 per litre.” [/b] http://www.nigerianeye.com/2012/02/failed-subsidy-promises-nlc-others.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Nigerianeye+%28NigerianEye%29&utm_content=Yahoo%21+Mail |

freakcin:Look, u are just beating about the bush my friend. No one is saying that oau is a saintly school. What I said was I haven't heard of such so far and even went ahead to ask if anyone has heard of such. If u have, kindly share it and spare me all these rantings. U just tell me that u heard it from somebody who knows someone who paid his way through any program at oau and I will believe u. If u can't give me anything close to that, I put it to u that u don't know jack about the school so pls shut it. As for uniport, it does happen well especially this particular program we are talking about. I know nothing less than 4 peeps that paid their way through and I am saying it confidently. Infact let me go further that I am even part of the conduit the money passed through. This is no dem say or I think there should be like u are saying, am a living witness ok. |
