Politics › Waku Wants Judiciary Sanitised, Obasanjo Probed by donbrowser(op): 5:03am On Oct 12, 2016
A former senator representing Benue North-West Senatorial District, Joseph Waku, has decried the rot in the judiciary and expressed concern that the nation is heading for doom if urgent steps are not taken to clear the mess.

Waku, who stated this in an interview with newsmen on Tuesday in his residence in Makurdi, urged the Federal Government to prosecute those judges arrested on alleged corruption, adding that whoever is found guilty should be punished to serve as deterrence to others.

“We need to sanitise our judiciary; if the arm of government that we know is the last hope of the common man is enmeshed in corruption, then where lies the hope of the commoners?

“This is why I strongly support the clampdown on the judiciary, provided it is not a witch-hunt, but one aspect I object to is the manner of arrest, I think the law provides the way of arresting suspected corrupt persons. You have to invite the suspect and if he fails to respond to your invitation then you adopt minimum force.

“But swooping on suspects as if they have already been pronounced criminals is tantamount to criminality on the part of the security operatives.

“Imagine, security operatives invading judge’s house with maximum force, what do you think would have happened if the security men attached to the judge reacted negatively?

“The consequence would have been grave. So, that is why I strongly object to the method of the arrest, let them be civil in their approach.

“I strongly support the fight against corruption especially in the judiciary, because the perception of people on this arm of government is that there is a lot of rot there. Let the noise not die like that, those accused should be taken to court for prosecution and if found guilty should be convicted and punished.”

Waku, however, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to extend his anti-corruption fight to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime.

He said, “The corruption fight of Buhari will be meaningful if he can extend it to Obasanjo, corruption is not only when you take bribe or embezzle our commonwealth, election rigging is also corruption or using your office to conscript people to donate to your personal thing is corruption.”

When asked whether his hatred for Obasanjo was not responsible for his call for his prosecution, Waku said no.

“No! If you have personal contact with Obasanjo, you will know that he his humorous, I like him as a person, and besides, he is my elder, he was my commander in chief for 11 years. I cannot inherit anything from him, he cannot also inherit anything from me, Chief Obasanjo is a great man, there is no doubt about that.

“But the fact remains, let him be probed, it may even serve as a blessing to him, if his administration is probed and he is eventually found innocent, that will exonerate him from the eyes of the public and to some of us, Obasanjo remains the most … president Nigeria ever had until proven otherwise.”

That is why Travelex introduced compulsory biometric registration before selling to BDC operators. It will curb their activities to some extent and help boost liquidity in the market. Maybe that is why some of the BDC operators are reluctant to register.

Don't forget Travelex also sell dollars as well, so this move will ease the economic gridlock. Just the announcement already bolstered Naira value on the parallel market.

Our Destructive Obsession With Tribalism

By

Dr. Raji Bello
I am writing this piece out of extreme frustration, caused by my countrymen’s incurable obsession with tribal identity. In Nigeria today, tribalism has been elevated to the status of a national culture which dominates national discourse, controls how we think and talk, and determines what we oppose or support. It is promoted by the most educated and powerful among us, embraced by the young and the old, passed from generation to generation, and has even crept into our constitution.

The question is what is responsible for this? Is our history to blame? Are our founding fathers responsible? Is it caused by greed, corruption or competition? Why are other African countries which are as diverse as we are not half as obsessed with their diversity? I can go on and on and I’m sure I’ll hear as many answers to these questions as the people I ask.

The damaging effects of tribalism, I’m sure, are well known. It promotes mediocrity and suppresses merit, encourages corruption by giving much needed cover and immunity for perpetrators, stands in the way of national cohesion and consensus, creates a distraction away from serious national issues and often contributes to communal violence.

In my own understanding, tribalism flourishes in Nigeria mainly because it is an effective TOOL that gives the user an edge in the eternal struggle by the elite and educated classes to gain government patronage (i.e. appointments). After getting the appointment, tribalism is again used as a cover to abuse that office, and then to escape justice after leaving the office. A Nigerian who is aspiring to public office would say things like “my tribe has never been given that post!” or “my tribe is marginalised!” Soon after, the newspapers (always willing accomplices) pick up the mantra and make a lot of noise until he gets the appointment. He then abuses that office and enriches himself while any criticism of him is dismissed as bad belle from opposing tribes and sundry detractors. Finally, any attempt to bring our appointee to justice after leaving office will be labelled (again, with the help of our loud-mouthed newspapers) as a selective persecution of his tribe. As a result, our ex-appointee will get away with a generous plea bargain or even go scot-free. This cycle of events has been happening before our eyes for decades.

I believe that the people who use tribalism in this way are not necessarily tribal jingoists themselves; they don’t really love their own tribes so much or hate other tribes. They have only perfected how to use tribalism for their personal ends. But we must ask ourselves, why is it such an effective tool? Why are Nigerians gullible enough to buy into such arguments all the time? We are frequently deceived by these fake tribal champions who get into government only to line their pockets but each time another trickster turns up we believe him totally. In a sense, we are tribal junkies!

There are many everyday issues in our national life that illustrate our blind obsession with ethnicity. The agitations in the Niger Delta easily come to mind. Granted there are legitimate issues of poverty and environmental pollution in the Niger Delta but I don’t understand why people portray them as ‘Ijaw’ issues or as ‘Ogoni’ issues. I don’t see what the issues have to do with the tribe of the people living there. In a normal country, these problems will be described in their proper context as issues of poverty and pollution, caused largely by corruption in state and local government administration in those areas, and by unregulated activities of oil companies. However, in Nigeria, they are presented as tribal issues as if rival tribes elsewhere have deliberately inflicted harm on the tribes of the Niger Delta.

A lot of northerners, including some of my very enlightened friends, saw the recent rivalry between Obasanjo and Atiku only in terms of a southerner fighting a northerner and they felt a natural inclination to line up behind Atiku in that epic tribal war, as they saw it. All my explanations that these two people were birds of the same feather and they have conspired against Nigerians for seven years and only fell apart because of a contest for power, fell on deaf ears.

Nigerians always campaign for the freeing of their tribesmen who are in trouble with the law without any regard to whatever offence the person has committed. Accordingly, the Yoruba (including a Nobel laureate) campaigned for the release of OPC leader Gani Adams from jail not minding the fact that he was involved in many violent acts. The Igbo insist that MASSOB leader Ralph Uwazuruike must be released from detention even though he campaigned for the dismemberment of the country; something that even the most democratic countries in the world would not tolerate. But being an Igbo they have to stand up for him. The northerners on the other hand, are still campaigning for the release of Hamza Al-Mustapha and company (I don’t even know the offences these ones have committed). Every tribe simply campaigns for its own, rightly or wrongly. Tribalism is often used to thwart the judicial process. What is purely a criminal offence is deliberately and mischievously given a political or tribal colouration to get the culprit off the hook.

The recent appointment of the Acting Inspector General of Police is another case in point. The Igbo caused an uproar based on their claim that an Igbo man has been sidelined, only for us to hear later that the man who was appointed (Okiro) was also of Igbo origin! Around the same time the Acting IG was appointed, a relatively young Igbo man was appointed to head the Federal Road Safety Commission and Igbo men were still heading the Immigration Service and Central Bank, and Igbo women were heading NAFDAC and Bureau for Public Enterprises and lately, the Federal Civil Service. In spite of all this, prominent Igbo journalists and commentators were alleging marginalisation. The failed warlord Odumegwu Ojukwu even made a renewed call for self-determination.

There have been frequent tribe-based succession battles in many Federal Government agencies in recent years. These include military and paramilitary organisations, universities, teaching hospitals and many others. The transition from one chief executive to another is always plagued by bitter ethnic battles launched by the aspirants to the vacant post. At the end of the day, a mediocre chief executive from the winning tribe is installed and the organisation inevitably goes into a downward spiral much to the disappointment of even his own tribal sponsors. It seems at the moment, no government department in Nigeria can change its chief executive without controversy.

The arrest of some former governors by the EFCC did not escape the attention of the tribal jingoists either. They are calling them selective arrests because not all tribes are represented among the accused! I wonder how the EFCC can ensure a fair representation of tribes among suspected criminals. Our obsession with tribe knows no bounds indeed.

After the recent appointment of ministers, some tribe-obsessed Nigerians did not fail to notice that all the ‘juicy’ ministries went to tribes other than their own. It is only in Nigeria that highly educated commentators make such silly analyses and they go unchallenged. In another country, they will surely be asked to shut up. The (unfortunate) constitutional provision that there should be a minister from every state has sparked off mini tribal wars in many states. I consider this provision unnecessary because every state is already represented in the National Assembly and since government runs in perpetuity, a state that is not represented in one cabinet will be represented in the next one. The provision means that the Nigerian cabinet will always be very large (France, for example, has just 15 ministers). Tribal champions in various states were up in arms trying to get their own tribesman to represent their states in the new cabinet. In Benue it is Tiv vs. Idoma, in Plateau it is indigenes vs. settlers, in Kogi it is Igala vs. Egbira vs. Okun Yoruba and in Borno it is Kanuri vs. everyone else. The situation was particularly heated in Kaduna State where the people of Southern Kaduna threatened fire and brimstone unless one of them is made a minister. This is a part of Kaduna State that has produced two ministers in the Obasanjo government, and whose indigenes are occupying the posts of deputy governor and secretary to the government of the state, and have produced the ex-Chief of Army Staff and probably the current one. This is certainly not a part of Nigeria that can claim it is ‘marginalised’. In any case, the blame lies entirely with the President for subcontracting his crucial personal duty of forming a cabinet to local political godfathers and middlemen. The process of ministerial appointments is guaranteed to get even messier in future.

The tragedy with the Nigerian situation is that it is the highly educated people, those who really should know better, that propagate tribalism. Highly rated newspaper journalists write articles defending their tribal interests and running down other groups. A lot of them write that they don’t even believe in Nigeria. They refer to their own tribes in lofty and bombastic terms, calling them ‘races’ or ‘ethnic nationalities’. Grandiose terms like ‘Yoruba race’ and ‘Ijaw ethnic nationality’ are commonplace these days and are uttered by professors, PhD holders, retired judges, so-called elder statesmen and prominent journalists. At a rival constitutional conference called by opposition groups in Lagos during the Obasanjo administration, the invitees were ‘ethnic nationalities’. I can’t foresee any good outcome coming from a conference whose organisers (including ‘elder statesman’ Anthony Enahoro) see Nigeria only in term of its tribal groupings. People with such primordial thinking, no matter how prominent they are, cannot be relevant in building a modern country.

The constant reference to tribal animosities in the press is affecting the youth and is ensuring that a legacy of hate and suspicion is passed down the generations. That is why a young graduate from, say, Ondo State will have sleepless nights if the NYSC posts him to Yobe State and so will a graduate from Katsina state who is posted to Ekiti State. Sometimes even when the graduate himself is calm, his parents will have the sleepless nights on his behalf! Contrary to expectations, it usually turns out to be a pleasant experience at the end of the service year.

I have lived in Ghana for over a year and I have never heard a discussion of tribal issues from my colleagues or read it in a newspaper article. Throughout my stay, I cannot say for sure which tribes my Ghanaian colleagues belonged to. It was simply not an issue. In such countries, educated people are ashamed of making references to tribal differences. This allows the society to focus on real issues like education, health, transport, security etc. I look forward to having a coalition of like-minded Nigerians who are against tribalism (not just detribalised, as we say in Nigeria) in order to give some hope to our country.

Types of Research Methods

The research question , ethics , budget and time
are all major considerations in any design.
This is before looking at the statistics required,
and studying the preferred methods for the
individual scientific discipline.
Every experimental design must make
compromises and generalizations , so the
researcher must try to minimize these, whilst
remaining realistic.
For ‘pure’ sciences, such as chemistry or
astrophysics, experiments are quite easy to
define and will, usually, be strictly quantitative.
For biology, psychology and social sciences,
there can be a huge variety of methods to
choose from, and a researcher will have to justify
their choice. Whilst slightly arbitrary, the best
way to look at the various methods is in terms of
‘strength’.
Experimental Research Methods
The first method is the straightforward
experiment, involving the standard practice of
manipulating quantitative, independent variables
to generate statistically analyzable data.
Generally, the system of scientific measurements
is interval or ratio based. When we talk about
‘scientific research methods’, this is what most
people immediately think of, because it passes
all of the definitions of ‘true science’. The
researcher is accepting or refuting the null
hypothesis .
The results generated are analyzable and are
used to test hypotheses , with statistics giving a
clear and unambiguous picture.
This research method is one of the most
difficult, requiring rigorous design and a great
deal of expense, especially for larger
experiments. The other problem, where real life
organisms are used, is that taking something out
of its natural environment can seriously affect its
behavior.
It is often argued that, in some fields of
research, experimental research is ‘too’
accurate. It is also the biggest drain on time and
resources, and is often impossible to perform for
some fields, because of ethical considerations .
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study was a prime
example of experimental research that was
fixated on results, and failed to take into account
moral considerations.
In other fields of study, which do not always
have the luxury of definable and quantifiable
variables - you need to use different research
methods. These should attempt to fit all of the
definitions of repeatability or falsifiability,
although this is not always feasible.
Opinion Based Research Methods
Opinion based research methods generally
involve designing an experiment and collecting
quantitative data. For this type of research, the
measurements are usually arbitrary, following the
ordinal or interval type.
Questionnaires are an effective way of
quantifying data from a sample group, and
testing emotions or preferences. This method is
very cheap and easy, where budget is a problem,
and gives an element of scale to opinion and
emotion. These figures are arbitrary, but at least
give a directional method of measuring intensity.
Quantifying behavior is another way of
performing this research, with researchers often
applying a ‘numerical scale’ to the type, or
intensity, of behavior. The Bandura Bobo Doll
experiment and the Asch Experiment were
examples of opinion based research.
By definition, this experiment method must be
used where emotions or behaviors are measured,
as there is no other way of defining the
variables .
Whilst not as robust as experimental research ,
the methods can be replicated and the results
falsified.
Observational Research Methods
Observational research is a group of different
research methods where researchers try to
observe a phenomenon without interfering too
much.
Observational research methods, such as the
case study, are probably the furthest removed
from the established scientific method. This type
is looked down upon, by many scientists, as
‘ quasi-experimental ’ research, although this is
usually an unfair criticism. Observational
research tends to use nominal or ordinal scales
of measurement.
Observational research often has no clearly
defined research problem , and questions may
arise during the course of the study. For
example, a researcher may notice unusual
behavior and ask, ‘What is happening?’ or ‘Why?’
Observation is heavily used in social sciences,
behavioral studies and anthropology, as a way of
studying a group without affecting their behavior.
Whilst the experiment cannot be replicated or
falsified, it still offers unique insights, and will
advance human knowledge.
Case studies are often used as a pre-cursor to
more rigorous methods, and avoid the problem of
the experiment environment affecting the
behavior of an organism. Observational research
methods are useful when ethics are a problem.
Politics › Buhari Okays Jumbo Allowance For Villa Security Operatives by donbrowser(op): 4:52am On Oct 05, 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari has cleared the backlog of allowances of security agents attached to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, therefore dousing the tension that was brewing among the operatives.

Investigation by our correspondent on Tuesday revealed that the President, through the Office of the National Security Adviser, has also effected over 50 per cent increase in the security agents’ allowance popularly referred to as Risk Cautious Allowance.

The PUNCH had reported exclusively that there was disquiet among security operatives attached to the Presidential Villa over their unpaid allowances which, if not addressed urgently, could degenerate into a security breach.

The security officers include those of the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police, the Department of State Services, the Nigerian Intelligence Agency, the Federal Road Safety Commission and the Fire Service among others.

Multiple sources among the security operatives who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity confirmed that the government had paid the arrears of allowance that dated back to April 2015.

“Former President Jonathan’s administration paid the allowance up until March 2015 and left those of April and May unpaid. For a long time, the present administration did not pay but it has since cleared all the arrears. They are no longer owing us,” one of the operatives said.

Another operative confirmed the increase in the allowance to our correspondent.

In the past, senior officers were said to be receiving about N30,000 per month while junior officers got about N25,000.

The source said, “Before now, under the past administration, we have been collecting between N25,000 and N30,000 depending on our levels. But now, the allowance had been increased to between N80,000 and N150,000 depending on our levels. This is indeed a welcome development for us.”

A Presidency source also told our correspondent that with the increase, the administration now expects nothing less than 100 per cent loyalty from the security operatives.

“They no longer have any excuse not to perform. With this kind of treatment, we will no longer overlook any act of indiscipline on the part of any operative. They have been encouraged enough,” the source said.

Politics › Tinubu, Oyegun Feud Resurfaces After Edo Poll by donbrowser(op): 4:43am On Oct 05, 2016
The quarrel between the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie- Oyegun, assumed another dimension on Tuesday. While Odigie-Oyegun took his case to President Muhammadu Buhari, some party youths protested Tinubu’s vituperative call on Odigie Oyegun to resign from office. The crisis in the party blew open recently when Tinubu, in a statement, called for the resignation of the party chairman. The bone of contention was the party’s governorship primary in Ondo State, which produced Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu as the candidate for the November 26 governorship election in the state. Tinubu, a former Lagos State governor, had faulted Odigie-Oyegun for overruling the decision of the party’s National Working Committee that upheld the decision of the Appeal Committee which recommended the cancellation of the primary. The party chairman, who had said he was engrossed in the preparations for the Edo State governorship poll, which was won by APC’s Godwin Obaseki, however, refused to take issue with Tinubu, who he said he held in high esteem. Odigie-Oyegun lost his ward to the Peoples Democratic Party in the governorship election, held on September 28, 2016. On Tuesday, however, Odigie-Oyegun took his grievance to President Muhammadu Buhari. The meeting between the President and the party’s national chairman, who is also a former governor of Edo State, was held behind closed doors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Speaking with State House correspondents at the end of the meeting with Buhari, Odigie-Oyegun said Tinubu was too harsh on him. He, however, said the situation between the two of them could not be described as a rift but a difference of opinion. “There is no rift with Asiwaju. We have difference of opinions, difference of perception and I think that is normal. Yes, I agree that the nature of the (Tinubu’s) statement was a bit harsh,” he said. When asked if he would resign as demanded by Tinubu, the ex-governor said, “The methods of getting rid of a national chairman, if that is what I will call it, are spelt out in the constitution. They don’t take place on the pages of newspapers.” He said it was proper for all arms of the party, including the National Executive Council, to meet and the meeting would hold at the appropriate time. Odigie-Oyegun denied being the brains behind the youths who protested against Tinubu at the party’s national headquarters earlier in the day. He, however, promised to investigate the matter. “God forbid (that I sponsor the protest)! Anybody who knows me knows that it is not my style. I am equally shocked and I am going to look into it and find out why and who is behind it. “Do people know how far back our association goes? Do they know that we were in the trenches together in the NADECO days? Why can’t people, who have mutual respect for each other, have different opinions? “All we had was difference of opinions. Yes, it was expressed a bit harshly but that doesn’t remove the basic fact that we have worked together for a very long time,” he added. Odigie-Oyegun said all that transpired in the party’s primary election in Ondo State were contained in the report of the chairman of the primary committee. When asked whether the party would consider a change of mind since the result is generating controversy, the party chairman said, “It is only INEC (the Independent national Electoral Commission) that can make a U-turn on the Ondo primary.” Odigie-Oyegun described the recent governorship election in Edo State won by the party’s candidate, Godwin Obaseki, as a referendum on the performance of Governor Adam Oshiomhole and on the quality of the party’s candidate. Earlier on Tuesday, a group of youths stormed the APC National Secretariat to protest what they claim was Tinubu’s overbearing influence on party’s affairs. The party’s youths, who came under the aegis of the APC Democratic Youth Frontiers, held several banners with anti-Tinubu posters. Some of them read, ‘We are united in APC; Tinubu can’t separate us’; ‘Tinubu is not God’; ‘Greed is not democracy’; ‘No room for an emperor’. Leader of the protesters, Mr. Lookman Salaudeen, said the APC national leader should be told to either toe the party line or be shown the way out. He said, “We call on Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu to either leave the APC, (or) curtail his greed (and) toe the line and exhibit the kind of loyalty needed for party cohesion whether from ordinary members or national leaders. “Nigeria is bigger than Lagos State, where you control affairs like a god; whose words are sacred and must be obeyed at all times.” The group leader said he and members of the group were compelled to stage the protest when it became apparent that attacks on Buhari’s appointees and other party leaders were coming from within. Salaudeen added, “We had initially thought this was the handiwork of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, who wanted to continue with the unjustified attacks on the administration of Mr. President. “We are unusually perplexed that our leader, who parades himself as the national leader of our great party, the APC, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, is the one now whistle-blowing against the same party he claimed to have brought into prominence. “Had any other member of the party done something like this, it would have been classified as an anti-party activity; it remains the same anti-party act, an offence from whatever perspective it is considered. “He is apparently not seeing reason as he again launched an attack on our national chairman, Chief John (Odigie-) Oyegun, whom he asked to resign, the same way his proxies have been demanding the resignation of the appointees of Mr. President. “He did this without any thought on how the call on the national chairman to resign would affect our party in the Edo State governorship election that was taking place just hours away from when he made that error of poor judgment.” When contacted, Tinubu’s spokesman, Mr. Tunde Rahman, promised to get back to The PUNCH. His response was still being awaited as of the time of filing this report. Also, a pro-APC group, ‘APC Disciples in Edo’, has warned against plots by some leaders of the party to force Odigie-Oyegun out of office by all means. The group, in a statement by its leader, Chief Francis Inegbeniki, on Tuesday, said no amount of conspiracy would remove the national chairman. It stated that Oyegun had not committed any offence warranting such calls for his resignation when it was so evident that he had delivered on his mandate as results of different elections held under him had testified. It added, “it is unfortunate that Chief Bola Tinubu, our National leader, whom we all respect so much and Timi Frank to have asked Oyegun to resign from office, as both of them never disclosed any offence that Oyegun committed to warrant his resignation. “Oyegun was not an aspirant in the Ondo APC primary; so, it is unnecessary for anyone to direct his anger to Oyegun. It is not fair to put all the blame on the head of Oyegun.”

After working for their victory, they expect him to sit down and be an ordinary Senator, for Lawan, an unknown entity, that did nothing for APC's victory to take that position.


Now that he has been able to carve out his own 'kingdom within the kingdom' ; Tinubu and Buhari can fight for all he cares. They might just wake up to discover he has even taken over the party from them.

It is possible if that is the case.

I don't blame that guy posting that thrash. It is those who keep quoting him that I blame. Leave the attention seeker alone. And in no time he will faze out.
Even though the guy is ranting there is an iota of truth in what he is saying but Mr. Hanh the reason why Seun left this thread open is simple; the traffic he generates here alone is more than 3 Sections together (Pets, Health and Adverts for example) and the 2nd reason is he wants Punters to have a singular thread where they can do their thing but that doesn't change the fact that Merrybet is using a thread on his forum to host pfp.
Waiting for the ban like daily bread.

Seun, why is this thread still up?

This is a clear violation of rule no 16. Don't promote shady investments like betting, HYIP, MLM, FOREX, binary options, and cryptocurrencies on Nairaland.
