PapaBrowne:
Is Chime a PDP Governorhuh I thought all things PDP were incurably bad??

Nice works especially considering the fact that Enugu's allocation is on the low side.
He is among the few exceptions. But for me, PDP remain a gang of common interest (that interest have root with those whose hands are always in Nigeria's cookie pot). Chime, Amechi and very few others are in my good books for the much they have been able to do.

Business › CBN Imposes Limits, Penalty On Cash Transactions, Again! by egift(op): 10:03am On Apr 29, 2011
….N150,000 for individuals; N200,000 for corporate organisations

By Babajide Komolafe

From June 2012, individuals that make cash withdrawal or deposit above N150,000 would pay a fine of N100 per extra N1,000, while corporate organisations that make cash withdrawal or deposit above N1 million would pay fine of N200 per extra N1,000.

These limits for free cash withdrawal and deposits were part of a new policy aimed at reducing the high usage of cash in the economy announced by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, yesterday.

The policy, which would be enforced in Lagos State, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano and Aba in the first instance also banned encashment of third party cheques above N150,000 across the counter

The policy was contained in a circular signed by Mr Muhammad Nda, Director, Currency Operations Department  and addressed to all banks, Cash In Transit (CIT) companies and electronic payment providers.

The circular entitled: “Industry policy on retail cash collection and lodgement” stated: “In view of increasing dominance of cash in the economy with its implication for cost of cash management to the banking industry, security, money laundering, etc., the Central Bank of Nigeria, in collaboration with the Bankers Committee, is adopting policies to reduce the high usage of cash, moderate the cost of cash management and encourage the use of electronic payment channels. Consequently, the Central Bank of Nigeria hereby directs as follows:

The limits

“Commencing from June 1, 2012, a daily cumulative limit of N150,000 and N1,000,000 on free cash withdrawals and lodgments by individual and corporate customers respectively with Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) shall be imposed. To this end, individuals and corporate organisations that make cash transactions above the limits  will be charged a penal fee of N100/thousand and N200/thousand respectively for amounts above the cumulative limits.

“Contravention of this policy shall attract a fine of five (5) times the amount that the bank waives as a first offender. Subsequently, the bank shall pay ten (10) times the charges waived.

“Furthermore, 3rd party cheques above N150,000 shall not be eligible for encashment over the counter. Value for such cheques shall be received through the clearing house.

Penalties

“If a bank allows 3rd party cheque encashment, it shall be liable to a sanction of 10% of the face value of the cheque or N100,000 whichever is higher.

“Banks will cease cash in transit lodgment services rendered to merchant_customers from June 1, 2012. In this regard, customers could engage the services of the CBN licensed cash-in-transit (CIT) companies to aid cash movement to and from their banks at mutually agreed terms and conditions.  Contravention of this policy shall attract a fine of N1.0 million per specie movement.

“This arrangement shall be in force in Lagos State, FCT, Port Harcourt, Kano and Aba in the first instance. The arrangement shall be extended to other parts of the country at a date to be determined by the Bankers Committee.”

“To achieve interoperability of local currency POS transactions, no  card scheme, foreign or local, shall operate exclusive acquirer agreement or contract in Nigeria with effect from June 1, 2011. Any payments scheme, processor, switching company, service provider or

bank that contravenes this policy may be suspended for a minimum of one (1) month by the CBN as a processor, switching company, service provider etc in the first instance. The license may be withdrawn by the CBN if the contravention is repeated.

“This policy shall apply to both private and public sector transactions.  All financial institutions including Deposit Money Banks, Savings and Loans, Mortgage and Microfinance Banks shall comply accordingly.

“Compliance with the policy shall be monitored by the Banking Supervision Department and the Other Financial Institutions Supervision Department with appropriate sanction applied to erring institutions.

“While the Central Bank of Nigeria will make general announcements and carry out public awareness programmes individual banks are expected to do same. The affected customers of banks should be informed in good time by the banks with clear advice on alternative electronic payment channels available to them.”

[size=14pt]Arrest Northern Leaders Now or We Attack HAUSAS! Niger Delta Militants to Goodluck Jonathan[/size]

Niger-Delta Militants call on President Goodluck Jonathan to arrest Generals Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida , Aliyu Gusau, Mallam Adamu Ciroma and Abubakar Atiku. Failing which, the millitants shall mobilize for "vengance and anger on all Hausa and Fulani people we can find inside and outside our region."

Vengeance is absolutely not the way forward, it will only cause more chaos and anarchy. Dear Lord, help this nation.
The press release by the joint revolutionary council (JRC) of Niger Delta when you continue,

[img]http://3.bp..com/-0qEv4crMV2w/TbmHNtFMdvI/AAAAAAAACek/QFaXvd23wKk/s400/228181_10150175321915279_514965278_6722835_2157830_n.jpg[/img]

Now that elections are over

“We suspended our armed campaign for the independence of the Niger Delta when we discovered that General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and his co-travellers in the Northern Political Leaders Forum (NPLF) were attempting to fund hoodlums in our region to engage in terrorist activities aimed at painting a picture that the Niger Delta freedom fighters are against the Presidential ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan. We saw that the activities of criminal groups funded by the NPLF to oppose the Nigerian President would taint our genuine struggle for the independence of Niger Delta. However, we do not have anything against the Presidential ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan who happens to be from our region that has been politically marginalized under the heavy burden of internal colonialism.

Nevertheless, elections have come and gone. It is unfortunate that those who submitted themselves to the process refused to adhere to the layed down laws, rules and regulation enshrined in the Nigerian Electoral Act. Instead they resorted to violence in Northern Nigeria.

The violence has led to the indescribable massacre of 10,000 innocent civillians of Southern Nigerian origin by miscreats and supporters of General Muhammadu Buhari and his Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) which lost in the April 16, 2011 Presidential Election. Also, thousands of homes, shops and places of religious worship of people from the south of Nigeria living in the north were burnt and bombed.

It is sad that nothing concrete has been done to bring the masterminds and perpetrators of these dastardly acts to justice. We all know that the northern quartet of Mallam Adamu Ciroma, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku,
General Aliyu Gusau and General Ibrahim Babangida promised that hell will let loose if ruling party (PDP) refused to zone the presidency of Nigeria to the north, thereby setting the tone for a return to a north/south political rivalry. As part of their plans to achieve that, they sponsored terrorist bomb attacks in different part of Nigeria, including an attempt on the life of President Goodluck Jonathan on October 1, 2010. Their attempt to intimidate him out of the Presidential Primaries of PDP failed and he won.

Furthermore, the northern quartet rallied round and joined forces with General Muhammadu Buhari and his northern-based CPC in a bid to promote their Northern Regional bias. General Muhammadu Buhari tried
to absolve himself of the massacre and mayhem in the north, but there are evidence to proove that he and the northern quartet were the mastermind. Before the beginning of the electoral process he said severally that Nigeria would become another Somalia. He also promised an uprising if the PDP prevents him from winning. The biggest of them all was when he alleged that the ruling party flew millions of ballot papers to several parts of the country in the previous night before the election day. In that reckless remark, he rejected the possible
outcome of the election and vowed that he would never challenge the result of election in court neither will he contest in any election after 2011. With this comment, he set the tone for the sporadic violence and massacre of the lives of 10,000 innocent civillians of southern extraction in the north.

Beaf:
What makes you think they will be attacking helpless people in the ND? They haven't told you who, where and what they are threatening to attack.

@topic
These guys are the real deal, not the aboki MEND that has been setting off bombs indiscrimibately all over the place (in so many cases, stvpidly blowing themselves up as well). This is the real deal, so there is real weight to their words.
Beaf must you be blind when your brother are involved? They clearly said this "vengance and anger on all Hausa and Fulani people we can find inside and outside our region."

On the second bold, they are real? You know this because they are your colleagues, GEJ have communed with them in the past or because they are the once on our payroll?

Did you remember how you where full of insults when I stated that they would have "vengance and anger on all Hausa and Fulani people we can find inside and outside our region", should Jonathan have lost?

Politics › Acn, Pdp In War Of Words Over 6 States by egift(op): 6:13am On Apr 26, 2011
THE Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, were last night engaged in a war of words over alleged plans to rig tomorrow’s gubernatorial election in seven flashpoint states.

The ACN was the first to fire the salvo when it identified Lagos which it presently controls and Ogun, Oyo, Kwara, Akwa Ibom, Benue and Imo as states the PDP was planning to rig it out in tomorrow’s election.

Lagos State chapter of the ACN in its dispatch warned that any plan to rig it out of the governance of the state would provoke a reaction that could set the country on fire.

PDP chieftains in the seven states were, however, quick to dismiss the ACN’s insinuations in their separate reactions.
Kwara State chapter of the PDP said ACN’s insinuation was part of that party’s “normal propaganda scheme,” while the Imo chapter of the PDP described the allegations as another “unchristian, diversionary and baseless” insinuation against the Ikedi Ohakim led PDP administration.
Law enforcement agents

The Lagos State chapter of PDP on its part called on law enforcement agents to swing into action immediately and arrest whatever plans the ACN was hatching to cause riot in the event it lost tomorrow’s gubernatorial election in the State.

ACN’s assertions which were made in a press statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, alleged that the PDP was aiming to rig the election in its favour in the aforementioned states using the cover that victory would be a continuation of the support given the party during the recent presidential election won by its candidate, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

Mohammed said: “The plank of the PDP’s bravado is that it will ride on the back of the ‘victory’ of President Goodluck Jonathan in the state in the April 16 presidential election.”
