Politics / Re: Farouk Lawan (subsidy Probe Committee Chairman) In $600,000 Bribery Scandal by drzed: 4:45pm On Jun 09, 2012
carlos86: Nigerians are real dumb idiotas.Someone was caught collecting 600,000 dollars in bribe and nobody is condemning him.You guys are busy defending him and attacking beaf(as usual).Bunch of fools.This is why this country will remain corrupt

I agree with you 200% on the substance of your post. The real question is did he or did he not collect 600K bribe? Regardless of whatever he is probing, bribe is bribe and we need to fight it.

But I beg to differ on the 'Nigerians are real dumb idiotas'. How many Nigerians have you met out of the 160 Million of us?

Beaf:

Some of you were born as fools. Defend your thieving Farouk Lawan without trying to distract from the topic.
Winshes like you always try to obscure truth with their idiocy.

Winshes must fly sha. All hail Obubra Airways!

Haba, must you resort to name calling, Mr. Beaf? Why would you go as far as saying some people were 'born as fools'? Even calling people 'winshes' for that matter? This is disappointing. Simply state your case and educate them in the process IF at all you have superior argument and facts. I know you get a lot of stick on this forum from people who think you are pro-GEJ. I dont know that for sure and I dont care. You are entitled to support and defend whoever you like. But this kind of language is uncalled for, please.

Let us discuss and argue like civilised and mature people.

olas2u: The Oil companies are very Big with networks to nail people oppose to them.

I suspected so myself. Cant trust those oil companies. But the question now is, did Farouk Lawan collect the $600K bribe
Set up or no set up, taking bribe is among the foremost kind of corruption that has been killing this country.

Politics / Farouk Lawan Collected $600K Bribe - Video Of Legislooting - OBJ at work? by drzed: 3:35pm On Jun 09, 2012
As reported by BY OKEY NDIRIBE AND EMMAN OVUAKPORIE (Vanguard, 9 June 2012)

ABUJA-There are indications that fresh trouble is brewing at the House of Representatives over allegations that Chairman of the House’s Adhoc Committee on Petroleum Subsidy Hon. Farouk Lawan was involved in a bribery scandal worth $600,000 last month.

Already there are speculations that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) may have invited Hon Lawan over the bribery allegation which sources say have already resulted in the Speaker of the House Hon. Aminu Tambuwal disowning the legislator over the messy incident.

It was gathered that Tambuwal had confronted Lawan over the issue in a meeting of Principal officers of the House where the Chairman of the Adhoc Committee on Petroleum Subsidy was summoned to defend himself over the allegation.

Sources said that Hon. Lawan had initially denied the allegation when it was put to him by the Speaker but froze in shock when he was confronted with details of what transpired at the address where officials of an unnamed oil company had given him the huge amount of foreign currency which had been marked.

It was further gathered that unknown to Hon Lawan, the entire incident was recorded by video after which copies were sent to a former Head of State who handed it over to Tambuwal.

It would be recalled that in the wake of the controversy that was generated over the Federal Government’s planned total withdrawal of subsidy from petroleum products last January, the House of Representatives set up the Adhoc Committee to probe how the subsidy fund that was appropriated by the National Assembly in the past had been disbursed.

Among the findings of the House was that despite the fact that only N400 billion was appropriated for payment of oil subsidy in 2011, over one trillion naira was spent. It was also alleged that a lot of the payments were made to phoney companies.

Politics / Re: Yes, Jonathan Has Delivered For His Friends – El-rufai by drzed: 6:43pm On Jun 08, 2012
Kobojunkie: This man needs to do some shutting up and cleaning up of his image first. Na so so El Rufai this and El Rufai that we dey read month after month. He was part of the same leading party at one time, and PDP was no good even then. So the last many want to hear is him preaching to them now of what they have always known of PDP.

I think granting an interview where he speaks the truth about state of affairs in Nigeria qualifies as one way of 'cleaning up his image'. Assuming the image was 'dirty' in the first place.

He was even honest enough to admit that Jonathan can contest in 2015, when he could easily have condemned it. He could have criticised Edwin Clark for suggesting it, but he didnt. If someone says the truth, his past or his present circumstance is irrelevant. What more should he do to clean his image...swim inside a bucket of detergent?

Anyway, if you have other ideas of 'cleaning up his image'..you may kindly enlighten us.

cheers

Oluwa4Sure: @ OP

What BILLIONS of $$$ could not achieve in 50yrs the Indians thinks 100M will achieve? ? ?
Though I appreciate their concern, but I am certain this money will also end up in their pockets just like the others

I agree with you. What is 100M (the money na CREDIT line sef, no be say na dash). What is 100M CREDIT compared to how much Nigeria generates per week (even from Nigeria Customs alone)? Although one needs to be thankful even if a gift is 'small'...but I seriously question THE TIMING OF THIS GIFT by Indians. It is not money (i.e. the lack of it) that is our problem in Nigeria.

Besides, the money is just chicken change for our legislooters and corrupt governors. But hey, maybe that's exactly what this money is designed to achieve in light of recent happenings. Make dem carry dem credit go siddon jare! Nigerians, shine your eyes.

If Indians wanted to REALLY help, let them bring power equipment or build micro power stations. Or better yet, why cant they donate the 100M to the victims of Dana Air crash?

2good:

So religion is now competition?

No it is not. The followers of each religion have every right to fraternise and honour/pray/respect their kind, in the tradition of their respective religions.

I created this thread so that our Christian brothers and sisters who were complaining on the Muslim Forum can have their own thread to do the needful. We are not all the same as per our faith and beliefs and we will never all be the same. It is important to understand this very fact. We all have the freedom to congregate in our respective spiritual ways.

I know some will argue they were ALL Nigerians on that plane (minus the few foreigners). But will a Christian bury his dead in a Muslim grave yard or allow Islamic rites to be said for him when he is dead? No way. And vice versa.

The thing is (and part of the reasons our society is messed up) is that we lack mutual tolerance. Let us not ignore our differences. Let us respect them. That is how we can co-exist in peace.

I am not even a Christian... for your info. But I love peace and harmony. Without peace, no one can worship whatever or whoever.

My friend, stop saying what you dont know. It was reported that during the time of prophet Muhammad(SAW), He was in the midst of his companion when some Christains were carrying a dead Body. The prophet rose and prayed for the dead christain, while other companion refused to stand. A companion then challeged why prophet should rise to respect a DEAD INFIDEL, but the prophet replied him that It is rewarding for any Muslim to respect and Pray for any Death Human being, irrespective of his/her Faith. The Companion them stood up and helped in burrying the Dead christain.

THANK YOU

Thank you for this insight.
This sort of educated commentary can lead to better understanding AND respect amongst muslims and christians.
Some people would rather fight, divide, curse, insult etc. Even among Muslims, see how an opportunity to pray for the dead has turned into a Shia vs. Sunni free-for-all. Little knowledge is dangerous. Intolerance is even more dangerous.

Religion / In Honour Of Christians That Lost Their Lives In Dana Air by drzed: 2:48pm On Jun 07, 2012
Okay, I have started a thread for Christians to honour their 'spiritual brothers and sisters' that died in the Dana Air crash.
The Muslims have turned their own thread (In Honour Of Muslims That Lost Their Lives In Dana Air) into a battle ground for Shia vs. Sunni. I dont think that argument will end anytime soon.

Some Christians have also used the Muslim thread to ask for Federal Character (Even in NairaLand....Ha, Nigerians!).

So now that we have a Christian thread, please do not use it to settle theological disputes. Over 150 people DIED just like that in a very violent and most horrible of ways. Can we take a few moments to say some words of prayer or condolence to the grieving families?

Can we for ONCE in our NairaLand lives forget the things that divide our human ways of life (tribe, religion, denomination, sect) and for crying out loud, JUST PRAY FOR THE DEAD...Can we do that PLEASE?

Thank you.
ps. And by the way, if you belong to Hare-Krishna, Buddishm, Sikhsm, Hinduism or whatever, go and start your own thread and dont come here complaining about the quota system. ...I tire for our people, I swear!

All this argument and insult is uncalled for. Wetin?

Somebody started a thread in honour of Muslims that lost their lives. Clearly, this is a call to fellow believers of the religion to get together and do the spiritual things their religion demands in such times of grief and crisis.

There was no need for Christian involvement in this thread, especially of the 'we nko?' or controversial kind - unless to offer support. Islam is Islam, Christianity is Christianity. If the Muslims had gathered in a Mosque, would a Christian ask why he was not invited? What is all these rubbish? We could easily start a thread: In honour of christians who died, where we can quote all the quotable verses from Genesis to Revelation. Any muslim who goes there to insert silly comments is CLEARLY looking for trouble.

Having said that, it appears even the Muslims cannot get their act together. Common to pray for the Muslims who died in an air mishap has turned into another Shia vs. Sunni battle. Wharisalldis?

Going forward, the best thing is for the Owner of Nairaland and the moderators to do, is to BAN all threads that have religious extremism or attacking another religion. Same thing for tribal or ethnic issues. These things are simply tearing us further apart, EVEN IN TIMES OF GRIEF!

Anybody is free to go and start ShiaLand, SunniLand, BokoHaramLand, AkwhatAkwopLand, RedeemedLand, LivingfaithLand, VaticanLand and even CliffordOrjiLand. Let us keep NairaLand nuetral. In this regard, the moderators and owners of this forum have fallen short. There is freedom of expression, but freedom comes with responsibility, which many people lack, apparently. In my estimation 50% of Nairalanders cannot post anything without inserting an insult or two. It is becoming a childish playground....Your mama, your papa, Eediot, Winch, You be F0ol, etc, etc.

I am seriously going to re-consider my membership of this forum if these sorts of religious and tribal wars are allowed to carry on. I became a member to learn, to communicate, share ideas and help others who are in need - and ask for help when I am in need. Not listen to some religious or tribal extremists.

Romance / Re: Is Your Partner Credit Worthy? Can You Lend Him/her Money? by drzed: 11:13am On Jun 07, 2012
For me the keyword here is 'girlfriend'.

If she was his wife, then he can 'borrow' her the money but a man who really loves his wife wont actually expect it back. In marriage, all is for one and one is for all. His things are hers and her things are his, at least technically and in many instances, practically.

As for the girlfriend, what if she dumps him tomorrow?
So the question now for the person in dilemma is: just how much does he TRUST this babe to deliver the money she borrowed?
Therefore, the person who is involved should make his decision based on TRUST (i.e. use your head) and not on LOVE (i.e. dont use your heart).

Of course there are some people wealthy enough to lend out this kind of money without even remembering (e.g. Dangote's pikin). But for most of us mere mortals, N750,000 no be small money o. It can wreck many people's lives and I am sure the person concerned asked for advice because the money matters to him a lot. So use your head and not your heart. Give her the money ONLY if you TRUST her to pay back.

Or better yet, give it to her indirectly. Tell her you dont have that kind of money, but you can talk to someone (e.g. your Area Fada uncle or your Agbero senior brother). Then hire one snarling, teeth-grinding, red-eyed, mustachioed, biceped and triceped no-nonsense-looking guy to pose as the borrower. That is insurance for you.

Thank me later, when she has returned it to you.

Clearly, you dont know jack about Indian-run businesses in Nigeria. The rate at which you have been too keen to defend Indians is becoming worrisome.

downdraft: I personally knew Capt Peter Waxtan. before I was captain at Spirit Airlines in 2000 I flew with him as his co-pilot. Captain Waxtan had many years of experience flying DC-9's, MD-83's, Air Bus A-320 series. he was a good pilot and would have no problem flying the MD-83 with a simple engine filure. The MD-83 is an easy plane to fly, with almost all manual flight controls. I dont want to seccond guess but on 1 single engine, 147 Pax light fuel load, no problem to handle. I suspect there may have been fuel contamination, causing a dual engine failure. The only other thing that would be difficult to handle would be a Horizontal Stabilizer Jackscrew fairlure or a thrust reverser unlock. One thing for sure, the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder should explain what happend. I am very sad to hear this story, especially about my co-worker but also the many loss of lives from the airplane and the ground. May God bless them all and may the rest in peace.

Thank you for your insight. Just a question/observation:

Based on account of eye witnesses who said the plane kept dipping and rising as the pilot tried to control it, doesnt that suggest that the engines were still functioning? If the engines were out due to contaminated fuel of whatever, surely, it would be difficult to manoeuvre the plane up and down, continuously. But hopefully, the flight data and cockpit voice recorder will reveal details of what the pilots' went through before it crashed.

So sad. I know the family that lost NINE relatives in that crash. I dont even know what to say to my friend. The pain is incomprehensible. I hope this tragedy wont be swept under the rug of our corrupt system.

May God have mercy on the departed and comfort the living.
Politics / Re: FG Suspends DANA Airline's License. by drzed: 9:33pm On Jun 05, 2012
ballabriggs: Firstly, it is the way to go when an event like this occurs as Dana seems to be a high risk organisation. However, as Nigeria seems to be a high aviation accident risk country there is a need to give safety utmost priority. International aviation standards as adhered to in Nigeria may not be sufficient given the high likelihood and impact of aviation accidents in Nigeria. It then becomes important that Nigeria must move beyond International standards and make its own standards to suit its own jurisdiction. For example, if the ICAO standards require biannual checks, our standards could make it quarterly given the risk in the industry.

Secondly, enough of regulating how much airlines could charge as fares. As airlines strive to comply with regulations, they tend to incur higher costs of operation. How do they comply when you place limits on chargeable air fares? It is a known fact that air travel in developing countries is more expensive when compared to the developed world. This is because of the high risk and the low income level in these jurisdictions as airlines have a limited scope for growth and the accompanying economies of scale. Any airline that charges 80,000 naira on a return flight in Nigeria has not charged sufficiently.

Thirdly, give protection to whistle blowers. There were a good number of staff who knew something was wrong but could not come out to speak as there was no formal channel and protection given to potential whistle blowers. This is what the unions and the Professionals in the aviation industry should be advocating. Everyone seems interested in making this money whilst ignoring the problems in the system. My Politicians are only making noise because they don't want to die as they fly these coffins daily. We have been shouting over the trucks and trailers on our roads and the havoc they cause but no one seems to be bothered. One is thus forced to ask, would you live till eternity on this wealth you keep accumulating?

If we make our country better, we would all be better off.

You have spoken well, my brother. This are the sorts of comments that bring me to Nairaland. Constructive and insightful.
Let us all learn from this mistake by both Dana Air and our corrupt and inept government. Many of us will find ourselves in leadership position one day. I especially applaud your suggestion on protecting whistle-blowers. No democracy can work if there are no checks and balances, and citizens/professionals can play a role by exposing corrupt and evil practices in their places of work.

naijaking1:

The best response for far!!!
I am a practising physician here in NY, and I have many Indian and Pakistani colleagues. Even fellow Indian doctors would warn you about "unorthodox" Indian doctors. Forgery and fake medical licenses are big issues in hospitals where new Indian medical residents are hired, even in the US and most likely in UK. So the arguement that we should not worry about fake doctors simply because because they're Indians is wrong. For every real and qualified Indian doctor out there, there're probably nine fake ones trying every imaginable trick to complete medical school through the back door.
Once again, the onus of fishing out and firing fake doctors(Indians or otherwise) lies with the medical council
The Indians in Nigeria are by no means missionaries, hoping for the rewards in heaven, they're in Nigeria to make profit, lots of profit, so why should we be surprised that their business practices are more advanced than our local and redundant system?

Tell them, my brother. Tell them.
If I am sick, I would rather take my chances with a babalawo in Nigeria than one Aruveshayakrishna-licensed doctor.

Why does someone have to prove the innocence of the hospital? The onus is on the OP and her cohorts to prove the guilt of the indian run hospital. So far there has been ZERO proof. What happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'?

Nobody has to 'debunk' any interviews or broadcasts or documents because none has been provided here and might very well be a figment of their imagination.

Finally, leave Dana air and your racial stereotypes out of this. With your warped Logic you associate ALL indians in Nigerians with shady practices yet people like you run squealing to Nairaland if a white man insists that you must be a scammer because you're from Nigeria. Pathetic!


Look here Mr, we just lost over 150 innocent lives due to the shady practices of an Indian-owned airline, (Dana Air) who were WARNED that their planes were unfit to fly. Yet the idiots refused to listen even when a Gov. called the MD to complain not long ago. So excuse me if I mention Dana Air in my 'stereotype'. You must be rather inconsiderate to ask me to leave Dana Air out of this, actually. Secondly, yes, some white men tend to associate Nigerians with scam because a lot of scam is carried out by Nigerians in Nigeria, West Africa, the UK, the US and even as far away as Malaysia. Does that make ALL Nigerians scammers, hell no! By extension all over the world (e.g. Nigeria, UK, US, Middle East) Indians are known for their shady practices in medical industry. Does that make all Indians shady, hell no. But they do have loads of shady and quack doctors, dont they? They do have coffins in the air called aeroplanes, dont they? Guess where most of our counterfeit drugs in Africa come from....thats right: India! Dont ask me for proof. Google it!

We shall NOT leave Dana Air out of anything until we get justice. And those fake Indian doctors had better watch out too.

torkaka: @op
you are a bloody nit wit uncircumcised liar!! i have been to that hospital so as a lot of other people i know! the first thing that comes to your mind when at the indian hospital is how whack and useless nigerian hospitals are!
their doctors receive you at the entrance and you are treated with outmost respect (what i'll call vip treatment in nigerian hospitals). infact everybody that goes there comes out with the same verdict; "if only nigerian hospitals can be half as good as this". consultants are always on sit and appointments are kept!
the garbage you just posted is a well known bring him down syndrome that patients and visitors alike are aware of.
yes the cost is high but i'd rather pay more than go to that coffin house called national hospital!
my advice to you and your sponsors, go back and put your act together and brace up for the competition! de-marketing wont do you any good!

Torkaka,
There is no need to call anyone names here. Are you a part and parcel of this Indian scam or why else will you insult the OP without debunking ANY of the claims made?

1. Have you debunked the OP's claim that she was cut and stitched without any fibroid removed? No you did not. (i.e. Nehi, in case you are an indian)
2. Have you responded to the evidence obtained (i.e. the document signed by the hospital in question) that no operation was actually done previously? Nehi! You did NOT!
3. Have you responded/debunked the various interviews granted by the victim and the twice broadcasted report by FRCN? No you did not. Again, Nehi.

I would rather believe the OP (whose sister has shown courage to gather evidence) than someone who begins their post with insults. Tell me who is the uncircumcised nit wit now? People like you (torkaka) pollute Nairaland with insults everyday. Please stop it!!!

Your name even sounds Indian sef....Maybe you are not. But why would you go to this length to insult someone who simply stated their case, named names and gave details?

There is growing evidence that these Indians are just using our country to make money from rickety aeroplanes to fake hospitals. Very soon, (using your kind of logic) you will tell us that because Dana Air staff used to smile at their customers and help them carry luggage into the plane, so that makes them a decent airline...abi?

Politics / Re: Nigerian Citizens Are The Problems Of Nigeria NOT The Government by drzed: 4:48pm On Jun 04, 2012
OYINBOGOJU: Corrupt people makes corrupt government

The government can never be corrupt if her people are not corrupt

THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN

We Nigerians consent to get our pocket picked and we elected the best person to do it.


I don`t know what you expect from a rogue after collected a bag of rice,biscuit and 5 yards of ankara.

Oyinbogoju, I agree 100% with your summary of the problem and also with the OP.
Food / Re: Should Men Who Can't Cook Be Ashamed Or Proud? by drzed: 8:14am On Jun 03, 2012
I think the title of (and essential questioned asked by) this thread is rather inappropriate because there is nothing for a man to be ashamed of in this regard. Okay, so lets do a little reversal:

Should women who are not working (employed) be ashamed or proud?
Should women who rely on house-helps be ashamed or proud?

From the above you can get a better perspective of the question asked by OP.
