Who is expected to make "direct investment" in the north?

The private sector, or the public sector?

If the latter, why? What moral right do they have to a larger share of government spending than what they've received over the past 40-odd years?

its good when the whole article is copied out opening post seems to be misleading

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton warned Monday that the rampant poverty that plagues oil-rich Nigeria — felt most acutely in its Muslim north — is fueling the religious violence now tearing at the nation.

A radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram claimed Monday it killed 12 soldiers and beheaded three government informants in its bloody wave of sectarian violence against Nigeria's weak central government. While Clinton never named the sect in a speech Monday night in Nigeria's commercial capital Lagos, he admitted he remained "really worried" about the security challenges in Africa's most populous nation.

"You can't just have this level of inequality persist. That's what's fueling all this stuff," said Clinton, who appeared along with Cherie Blair, the wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, at the ThisDay Awards, an annual ceremony hosted by Nigerian newspaper magnate Nduka Obaigbena.

Poverty is endemic in Nigeria, and corruption has siphoned away billions in oil earnings since the country began exporting crude more than 50 years ago. New government statistics released Monday showed that in Nigeria's northwest and northeast, regions besieged by Islamic insurgents, about 75 percent of the people live in poverty.

Analysts say that poverty, despite decades of military rule by leaders from the north, coupled with a lack of formal education has driven the region's exploding youth population toward extremism.

In the last year, Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the local Hausa language, has carried out increasingly sophisticated attacks in its campaign to implement strict Islamic law and avenge Muslim killings in Nigeria.

Boko Haram is blamed for killing at least 286 people so far this year, according to an Associated Press count. At least 185 people died in the sect's coordinated assault in January on Kano, the largest city of Nigeria's north.

Those attacks have strained relations between Christians and Muslims in Nigeria, a multiethnic nation of more than 160 million people. Clinton called for Nigerians to embrace their similarities, while also asking the government to speed public works projects such as providing electricity to a nation whose people are long accustomed to running their own generators for power.

"It is almost impossible to cure a problem based on violence with" violence, Clinton said. "You also have to give people something to look forward to when they get up in the morning."

However, Clinton acknowledged Nigeria cannot rule out using military or police force when dealing with the instability. The unease in the country, as well as the threat of possible Boko Haram violence even in Lagos, could be felt as heavily armed soldiers and officers stood guard outside the luxury hotel as he spoke Monday night.

Politics › Exhume Your Father's Corpse. Gov Amosun To Former Gov Daniels by Demdem(op): 10:56am On Feb 15, 2012

Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun State Governor Orders Former Governor Gbenga Daniel To Exhume Father’s Corpse

According to National Mirror, the Executive Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun yesterday ordered the demolition of Abraham Tabernacle at Oba Erinwole Road, GRA, Sagamu, where the immediate past governor of the state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, recently buried his father, the late Most Rev. Abraham Adebola Daniel. Sagamu had, on Friday January 27, 2012 played host to eminent Nigerians, including Amosun, who came to commiserate with his predecessor during the burial of his father.

But barely two weeks after the burial, the vast compound where the late Abraham Daniel was buried played host to bulldozers allegedly belonging to the state government, and the perimeter fence of the compound was pulled down. It was alleged that the demolition of the burial site of the former governor’s father was on the orders of the incumbent governor.

Reports however say that the Abraham Tabernacle, where the former governor’s father was buried was illegally acquired by the former governor, as the area is part of the undeveloped portion of the Judges Quarters in the city. It was also alleged that the former governor deliberately buried his father there on the belief that the land would be conceded to him. A source at the governor’s office, who pled anonymity, told Saturday Mirror that during the burial of the elder Daniel, Amosun used that occasion to access the vast compound which could not have been possible but for his presence at the burial service.

Today, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Governor of Ogun State formally underscored his determination to demolish the entire Abraham’s Tabernacle Church in Sagamu. The Governor, in a letter he personally signed out rightly cancelled the certificate of Occupancy of the Church. The letter read, ‘in the exercise of my power under section 1 & 26 of the Land Use Act, I hereby cancelled the purported certificate of Occupancy No 0033337 dated 14th May 2011 and registered as No 60 at Page 60 in Volume 761 in the Lands Registry in the Office at Abeokuta. This letter serves as a notice to you of the said cancellation.’ The letter which bore the insignia of the office of the Governor of Ogun State was purportedly written by the Governor on 20th of January 2012 but was brought to the gatehouse of the church around 12 noon on February 13, 2012 by an official of the State Government.

Prior to the arrival of the letter conveying the cancellation, a contingent of Ogun State Government accompanied by fully armed mobile policemen came to the premises without any prior information or notice. They went round with a battery of camera’s taking shots and talking to the camera to justify the earlier demolition of part of the structures within the precincts of the church.

Earlier on Friday, February 10, 2012, the government had sent another contingent of officials and fully armed policemen who invaded the church premises and with the aid of Bulldozers demolished the gatehouse entirely, destroyed the security post and part of the church’s fence. Attempts by the resident Pastor, Reverend Dele Kolade to stop the demolition was ignored while the squad carried out its assignment without showing any legal document or prior service of notice of abatement.

While we are yet to determine the ultimate mission of the latest invasion of the Abraham’s Tabernacle by agents of the Ogun State Government, we sincerely hope that it is not to begin a round of blackmail and propaganda against the House of God.

Reacting to the invasion and cancellation of the Certificate of Occupancy, Reverend Kolade advised the worshippers in the Church and other members of the Christian fold to remain calm.

According to him, ‘the Lord is in charge, the earth and its fullness belongs to the Lord including the power to govern. The last action justifies our belief that there is more to what to what is happening than meets the eye. However, the Lord is in control.’

The registered trustees of the Church will take up the matter legally and will ensure that this brazen injustice does not stand.

Politics › Re: Bianca Ojukwu Expresses Her Disappointment At Ohanaeze Over Late Visit by Demdem(op): 8:41am On Feb 15, 2012

Besides, there is a new development. Ohanaeze simply said Bianca doesnt know what she is saying. She is ill-informed. Who will we believe?

Members of Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Tuesday said Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu’s claims that they neither visited her husband, late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, while he was on sickbed in London nor paid their condolence over his demise were untrue .
Bianca, during a condolence call on her by members of the Conference of Democratic Scholars and Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Monday, faulted the apex Igbo body on the level of interest shown during the period of illness and the death of the ex-Biafra warlord.
The leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, which, however, spoke through the National Publicity Secretary, Ralph Ndigwe, said Bianca’s comments were regrettable. It added that some people were deliberately misinforming her.
According to Ndigwe, he visited Ojukwu in London on three occasions and on each visit, he delivered Ohanaeze’s get-well message to him.

He said it was not true that the group did not pay condolence visit to Ojukwu’s family as claimed by Bianca.
He said, “Ohanaeze paid a condolence visit to Ojukwu’s home at Nnewi, Anambra State and commiserated with the entire community and his family in particular as demanded by Igbo custom and tradition.”
The Ohanaeze spokesman said in Igbo tradition, when a man dies, his widow would be in the village – receiving sympathisers.
He explained that when Ohanaeze learnt about Ojukwu’s demise and paid condolence visit to Nnewi few days after, its team was told that Bianca was still in London.
He said, “I went to London three times while Ojukwu was in hospital and on each occasion, the President-General, Ambassador Ralph Uwaechue, directed me to go and visit him on behalf of Ohanaeze.
“I personally spoke to Ojukwu on each occasion I visited and told him that I was sent by the President General. When he (Uwaechue) learnt of his demise, we went to Nnewi to see the Nzuko Ora Nnewi (Nnewi town union) and the Ojukwu family as demanded by Igbo tradition. We expected that Bianca would be at home, but we were told that she was still in London.
“Later, when on one occasion, I met Emeka Ojukwu (Junior) on the way and he told me that Bianca is back in Enugu, I personally went there to see her but I was told that she was sleeping. I dropped my card.”
Meanwhile, the leadership of Ohanaeze has issued a communiqué to state its position on the matter.
The communiqué reads in parts, “At the time it came to its knowledge through the media that our respected leader had gone to London for medical attention, Ohanaeze Ndigbo kept discrete and regular contact with His Excellency, Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, who spearheaded efforts to support and monitor his progress at the Wellington Hospital in London. He kept Ohanaeze well informed on developments in that regard.”

Andre Uweh:
[quote author=Andre Uweh link=topic=870560.msg10197104#msg10197104 date=1329252684]Not necessary for the Ohanaeze at no 7 park avenue Enugu to be travelling to the U.K every now and then. They have representatives in the U.K who ensured proper communication between Enugu and London. In this case they were with Ikemba until he breathed last.
This scenario can be likened to people suggesting G.E.J deals with London directly even though there is a Nigerian high commission stationed in London.
The Ohanaeze at no 7 park avenue Enugu just like other Ndigbo are greatly touched by the demise of our great hero.

the same Ohanaeze U.K chapter that was with them from arrival till the death of Ikemba is part of the general Ohanaeze. Some of this U.K chapter of Ohanaeze members are top medical consultants in the U.K and in one way or the other contributed to the care and wellbeing of Ikemba.
Probably, she did not say so.[/quote]Are u saying that the beloved wife of Ojukwu - Bianca doesnt know what she was saying or wasnt completely conversant with events of what transpired during and after the Death of her husband?
Bianca has expressed her disappointment to ohanaeze, they should take it in their strides and learn from it.
case closed.

Actually u are the daft one here no doubt. He called him a coward and so what? he is entitled to his opinion and he said so because of the fact that the late Ojukwu fled to Ivory coast during the war leaving his fellow fighters behind to die. that is an indisputable fact and a cowardly act. Of cos u will have very good reasons to justify his fleeing but it doesnt change the fact that the late ojukwu Fled when it matters most.
