More than 70 Chinese vessels have been found fishing illegally off the coast of West Africa, Greenpeace says.

Using information gathered from 2000 to 2014, Greenpeace said Chinese companies had fished in prohibited grounds or under-declared their catches.

Boats either turned off their identification systems or transmitted false location data, it added.

One company's fishing capacity off the coast of Guinea Bissau is said to have exceeded its authorised limit by 61%.

The absence of efficient fisheries management in some West African states allows rogue companies to plunder marine resources, the BBC's Thomas Fessy reports from Dakar in Senegal.

China illegally fishing off W Africa - Greenpeace

There is an absence of efficient fisheries management in some West African states

Bottom trawlers are considered the most destructive fishing vessel in the industry
In less than a month, Greenpeace documented an average of one new case of illegal practice by a Chinese-owned boat every two days, but the report's authors say they think that is only the "tip of the iceberg."

Chinese companies were "unlawfully exploiting West Africa's marine environment," said Rashid King, head of Greenpeace East Asia's China Ocean Campaign, in a statement.

"They were taking advantage of weak enforcement from local and Chinese authorities to the detriment of local fisherman and the environment."

'Exploiting'
Mr Kang said unless the Chinese government controlled rogue fishermen, it would "seriously jeopardise" its mutually beneficial partnership with West Africa.

China came to West Africa's aid during the Ebola outbreak, Mr Kang said, but Chinese companies were "exploiting" West Africa's marine environment.

In the most recent cases, the Greenpeace ship MY Esperanza, which sailed off Senegal, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea last autumn, documented 16 illegal fishing activities by 12 Chinese vessels.

hmm no comments yet!!!!

how u mean say u no get comment?

dokyOloye:
I swear.
See how mumuish our Nigerian girls are.
When d guys treat them like d pay as U go article they are,they'll start complaining.
I am a doc,I have several female classmates and colleagues, they earn equal to or even more than I do.will any of them view this scenario as d guy being foolish?
Hell,no.They'll say,"I met a gentleman on d bus today".

Thats the reason I dont give those small girls face cos when u are nice to them they insult u for being nice

coolzeal:
Most men allow their balls to do the thinking instead of their brains. I stopped been nice to ladies a long time ago and it works perfectly
fine for me.

Not true, I dont see anything wrong with seeing a girl u admire and paying her fair. Neither do I see anything wrong with paying anyother person´s fair. Its the guys money so he can do with it whatever he wants. Where I draw the line is when a guy feels that cause he paid for a ladies fair then he has monopoly over her or when a lady feels like cos a guy paid her fair then he is interested in her. Come girls real men are not that dumb. No one has monopoly over another person.

I remember this situation I was on my way to Tinapa for a gathering. Got dropped at the luxury busses park and waved a taxi to Tinapa. A lady who was quite very cute happened to also be in the buss I was and seemed to be going to the same party that I was asked to share the Taxi and I agreed. We got talking alittle with her giving me some attitude Naija girls know how to give. U guys know this attitude of disinterest they normally give if they get it into their heads that a guy wants to talk to them. That didnt peturb me, I hit off converse with the Taxi diver till we arrived Tinapa and you can imagine my surprise when the rass girl didnt even make effort to offer to pay her share till the taxi guy embarrassed her by asking "come this painted babie wont u add money to what this my oga is paying to offset the Taxi fair". I mean, I didnt have problems paying the complete fair alone and would have done just that if she had make efforts to try to pay. But the foolish lady just stood there as if we knew ourselves b4, imagine bullshit. She just picked off immediately and started insulting the Taxi man, I ignored the exchange and paid the taxi man 3k out of the 5k he charged and told him to collect the remaining from the silly lady. U can imagine how big her face got cos she obviously expected me to pay 4 her part, abi peeps I resemble maga? I left them there and walked away.

Anyway at the party I ignored her completely till she made the mistake to sit at my table and made further mistake to bring the stuff up in conversation among people who knew me. That was when I told her how foolish she was and how she lacked home training. By the time I was almost done talking it was people that knew me that started telling her to just admit she made a mistake. She should have offered to pay atleast half the fair, it was left for the man to ask her to keep her money. I hope that silly girl learnt a lesson from that experience. Not everyman u meet on the street wants to know how much it costs to roll with u girls.

Abuja - President Goodluck Jonathan has rejected the
offer of becoming the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
at the end of his tenure, reports Tribune.

Members of the party’s National Working Committee
(NWC), national caucus, BoT members, National
Executive Committee (NEC) and some elders of the
party have been putting pressure on Jonathan to
accept the offer.

The party leaders have wanted him to occupy the
position as a mark of honour and for his contributions
to the party .

Jonathan in rejecting the offer told the party leaders
that he needed some rest before he would probably
return into active politics.

Tony Anenih is the current Chairman of the BOT of
the party.

bad idea from APC. Tinubu wants Nigeria to repeat the hard leasons the USA just learnt which by the way help the last global melt down. If this is what APC is bringing to the table then they dont have any interest of the poor Nigerian on the street to heart.

Horlufemi:
I doubt that will happen. APC will work so they won't be defeated

really, i bet u PDP said the samething 10 years ago. How long did it take for Tinubu to start saying it? Look, when we human beings agree and accept that what goes around come around we will be careful what we say and how we treat people. cheers

LAGOS — ALL Progressives Congress, APC, leader Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, yesterday, attributed the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan in the last presidential election to a commonsense revolution anchored on a rebellion against the excesses of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

He spoke at a book launch in Lagos where Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka extolled him, and Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State as the drivers of the uprising, which he said, was fast-tracked by President Jonathan’s mishandling of the Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF crisis.

The public presentation of the book “Dynamics of Change: The Amaechi Years”, was witnessed by a cross section of the political class and civil society including governors, former governors, senators among others.

Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte, who was chairman of the occasion, said the book only offered a glimpse into the vision that stimulated the infrastructure and developments during the Amaechi years in Rivers State.

Amaechi on his part gave a peep into his political challenges, noting how even when he got Tinubu angry before the APC convention, both men set aside their issues for the common goal of achieving victory in the elections that were yet to be held at that time.

Tinubu, who was guest of honour at the presentation of the book written by Dr. Yemi Ogunbiyi and Dr. Chidi Amuta in his comments said: “Amaechi is an example of common sense revolution. In the course of the historic campaigns for the 2015 Presidential Election, I was emphatic that the election itself was a great opportunity to popularise and test the noble idea of a Common Sense Revolution in Nigeria. Soon enough, we found in the resonance of the APC Change mantra with the electorate a confirmation that Nigeria needed a Common Sense Revolution that is non-violent.

“Indeed there is a publication with that title authored by me in which I argued that Nigeria was ripe for a change of leadership and Nigerians must act in a Common Sense and rational way in choosing their leaders. The results of the March Presidential elections and that of April have demonstrated clearly the desire by Nigerians for change.”

The APC national leader, however, urged the new crop of leaders to embark on policies that will alleviate the plight of Nigerians.”

Continuing, he said: “Elections over, both the leaders and citizens must brace up to meet the challenges required to build a better, more prosperous nation. Indeed, even as we subscribe to the tenets of Common Sense Revolution, we must retool ourselves, the new leadership must embark on policies that will improve the general well-being of the mass of our people.

“It is a positive one to rescue, repair and restructure the nation and its institutions in ways that further collective prosperity and well-being. The only violence that is to be done is to violence, injustice and poverty themselves. At its essence, a common sense revolution is a call to return to a level of decency in the relationship between government and the governed, between each one of us and his neighbour.


“In my view, our gathering to celebrate the landmark achievements of my brother, Governor Rotimi Amaechi, in Rivers State in the last eight years is also another justifiable celebration of idea of Common Sense Revolution for development. The publication of the book, Dynamics of Change: The Amaechi Years is a timely service to history.”

Governors’ Forum crisis

Lauding Amaechi’s leadership of the NGF, the former Lagos State governor said “this occasion is all the more remarkable because of the huge challenges Amaechi has been facing especially in his second term from an extremely hostile federal government. His role as the chairman of the Governors’ Forum invariably brought him into a bitter collision with President Jonathan.

“Governor Amaechi and most of the governors want a properly defined federalist relationship with the government at the centre. The President would have none of that as in the notable example of the management of the federation account. This is, therefore, another great opportunity to salute Amaechi’s rare courage of conviction and sense of purpose. The APC has every cause to be proud of him,” Tinubu said.

Amaechi took a risky decision—Soyinka

In his comment, Prof. Soyinka commended Amaechi for standing up to President Jonathan during the NGF crisis. He identified Tinubu and Amaechi as the two main agents who brought down the PDP.

“The political atmosphere today, whatever you call it, change or hope or cautious hope and naked hope or careless hope, I recognise two personalities, in particular, who led the chant of change. One of them, I call him the architect of the process, the architect, in fact, that houses the essence of hope. That is Ahmed Bola Tinubu. The other person was unconsciously, perhaps, the arrow head of that charge that led to the change and that is the man that we gather here to celebrate.”

Soyinka said Amaechi took a risky decision during the NGF crisis that inevitably exposed him to the wrath of the presidency.

“He (Amaechi) was the one who said no, we cannot turn the clock backwards. Nothing about the philosophy of the clock runs against what we were hoping for. It was a very unpopular and risky decision to take. But it exposed to us the basic arithmetic fallacy of governance in demonstrating that when 16 is said to be higher than 19, something is fundamentally wrong and the same kind of arithmetic leads to the cooking of figures in governance. And it was within that nexus that he stood up and challenged even his own colleagues, and said let’s change the mentality of the stock, let us re-orientate it towards the people and towards the nation and the electorate.

“I remember someone very close to me that said I hear you are close to Rotimi Amaechi, tell that young man that he is going to destroy himself, and I said, you know something, you have been in a position where I have had the opportunity of being your teacher and your mentor and you mean to say you never learnt from me that it is better to be destroyed on the basis of what you really live for? And you want me to deliver such a message? That person who is in Aso Rock wanted me to tell Amaechi to back off, to slow down and that he is playing with fire and playing with a catapult against big guns. I never delivered that message. All I did was to study him more closely and wait to see.”

Karibi-Whyte commends Amaechi

Justice Karibi-Whyte commended Amaechi for embarking on developmental projects that were beneficial to the people of Rivers State, saying it was only a peep into the successful adventure of Amaechi in the state. “From my observation, I believe those who have written, wrote from the position which they thought but they did not to a large extent, look behind the facade of the motivating factors because I believe that he had been pained that nobody had seen the problems which he was foreseeing when he brought about schools, health centres in every local government, roads, education.”

I was determined to effect change—Amaechi

Giving the background of the challenges he faced after joining the APC, Governor Amaechi noted the sacrifice he and other leaders made for the eventual victory that was realised with the victory over the PDP in the presidential election last March.

“I am determined that there should be a change because if there’s no change, things will not move. Even before the party convention, I got Asiwaju Tinubu angry. I went to him and implored that we should not fight or disagree over issues. I told him that the important thing was for us to win first and after which, we can disagree. I believe that we must win and make a change, for anything that will not bring that change; I am ready to make a sacrifice.

I am proud to be a part of the change process. I am not stubborn but principled. I speak the truth and abide by the rules.”

On the crisis that engulfed the NGF, Amaechi, who is the chairman of the forum, accused the president of instigating the crisis.

He said: “In the Governors’ Forum, we set up a mechanism where we go from state to state to see how the governors were faring. Unfortunately, the President scattered the Governors’ Forum”.

Extolling Soyinka’s virtues, he said he is the only person whose bag he has ever carried because of the respect he has for him.

drnoel: App stores are web based markets which offers more than just mobile apps. They are also Websites that aggregate software solutions for business or personal use. App stores, also known as an applications marketplace, are typically created and built by a “marquee” vendor, such as Apple, Google, Nokia, or BB, that serves as the anchor tenant for the marketplace. App stores serve as a hub where you can discover, search for, purchase and deploy integrated third-party applications.
The marquee vendors that run the marketplaces typically have a strong brand and a large customer base since no one vendor will ever have the time or expertise to build every possible application that a customer might want. But marquee vendors can attract developers to build complementary applications to sell to their large customer base.

Now lets move out of the literature. I have personally used lots of apps from different app stores. I have used apps from nokia store when I had my 5700. I also used BB when i used curve, then apps from apple when I initially used iphone 2. Now am using apps from google cos both my tablet and fone are androids (Galaxy S series). I would say I am quite happy to stay with android for the time being, atleast until they diappointment me. I like google app market.

So here is where u guys come in. Tell us what fone u used and how their apps where. Tell us what ur problems are with the app market u have tried. Tell us if u would recommend a particular app market. I know some of u use MTN, Glo or Etisalate app stores. What are ur major problems with these stores. I for one dislike mtn store.
Mods, this is a recast of a thread I mistakenly posted elsewhere but I do hope its now in its right place.

Hmm, streaming.
By the way my first fone was 3310, then 2300, 3650, N7, motorola X series, then iphones. Before I moved on to androids. Nokia ovi store is cool, apple store is also nice but one has to buy most of their apps. Android is more friendly.

U posted this at the wrong place

karl max: please were no foools or hypocrites like some of you are on nairaland !!!!! And please don't change what the article said . Here's what the article said and I quote

"According to Mojisola Abdul, the president/chief executive officer of MOJEC, all arrangements have been concluded with the partners to set up the company in Nigeria before the end of this year or latest first quarter of 2013. When the factory is fully operational, she said, it would serve the yawning Nigerian and African meter markets."

It is only a hypocrite and a liar that would take the part of a sentence that suits his agenda and discard the Others.

U choose the part of the statement that says "or latest 2013" but delibrately disregarded the part that came before the statement u and ur fellow resident hypocrites on nairaland are hanging on to .

Which is " all arrangements have been concluded with the partners to set up the company in Nigeria before the end of this year"

And the article was written on the 13 sep 2013 it means the author of the story made a mistake.

U really are less than minus

Hey talk about urself. I know a friend whose wife is so gentle and nice it would bring tears to a hard man's eyes. My guy that married her was one of the hardest man i ever knew. Never had any scruples about beating chicks in Uni then and girls used to line up to date him then cos they were sure of protection if he was sleeping with them. A confirmed hard man in school then. He is married now and he worships his wife. Treats her like an egg. He is one reason i respect the power a married woman welds over her husband.

Waiting till projects are complete

.Jonathan met with the Queen of England. He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there... any tips you can give to me? I want to help Nigeria""Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people." Jonathan frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?" The Queen took a sip off her cup of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you justask them to answer an intelligent riddle." The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please ... send Tony Blair in here, would you?" Tony Blair walked into the room and said, "Yes, Your Majesty?" The Queen smiled and said,"Answer me this please. Tony, your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?" Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered, "That would be me." "Yes! Very good," said the Queen. Jonathan went back home toask N. Sambo, his vice presidential choice the same question. "Sambo, answer this for me. Yourmother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?" "I'm not sure,8-|" said Sambo. "Let me get back to you on that one..." He went to his advisors and asked every one, but none could give him an answer. Finally, one night, he ran into Dora Akunyili #:s. Sambo asked, “Dora, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Dora answered sharply, "That's easy, it's me! / ­" Sambo smiled, and said,"Thanks!" Then, he went back to speak with Jonathan. "Sir,I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Dora Akunyili! =D" Jonathan got up angrily,frownin ghe said to Sambo. No wonder Nigeria isn't moving forward, I don't have intelligent people around me. !You Dummy!

There really was no need for this. The FG had admitted after serious pressure from d house that since the GTA was not signed into law by the law maker. It was against the 1999 Nigerian constitution and so not binding on Nigeria. Meaning in plane text that Nigeria would context the ruling b4 d deadline. OBJ may be insulted till tomorrow for signing that threaty but no one knows how much pressure he was to do so by the international community. If u ask, I would say his not including d house gave Nigeria to context the ruling, which am sure he knew would happen. He just wanted to please some people but still give Nigeria a chance to save Bakassi from all these international politic rigmarole.

Sometimes i wonder if all these "supposed" men of God are not all in one secret society. First it was Chris okotie and now its this one. I wonder which pastor in Nigeria will be next.
