saxywale: i read somewhere that most of the permits out there are fake. permits would only be given for health reasons and security reason. The average Nigerian hardly qualify to be issued a tint permit.

"The good news however is that the Law
authorizes the appropriate authority (in
this case the IGP) to issue tinted permits
to Nigerians on health and security
grounds if they are so qualified. Persons
desirous of obtaining tinted glass
authorization are advised to follow the
following steps:
(a) Write a formal application to the IGP
for the use of factory tinted glass, stating
the reason for use, bearing in mind that
approval of such application is predicated
on health or security reasons only."

MY TAKE:

ON OIL THEFT:
oil theft via breaking oil pipelines and bunkering started toward the tail end of IBB regime and picked up steam during the Abacha regime.
There were rumours back then of the oil majors pumping more oil than was declared.
The military machine dispensed of patronage to all section and regions .
Oil blocks were shared amongst all tribes including to sons and daughters of the Niger delta.
As usual,
They did not know what to do with it , not to talk of the handwork needed to develop it.
They instead sold it for a quick buck.
The corruption and incompetence starts from the NNPC and ends at the desk of the president.


ON DERIVATION /RESOURCE CONTROL.


That IBORI and ALAMS were at the forefront of resource control is an insult to those who fought that fight throughout their lives.
Ibori , alam ,GEJ are creatures of the Abacha regime.
These two are simply the sort of criminal who are produced in large numbers in that region, and who seem to dominate the politics there as well.
The likes of rewane,obong attah who fought obj to a standstill ,saro wiwa are the true heroes and it is not surprising that they have got more brains than all the laggards parading themselves as leaders .


ON AWOLOWO and REWANE

There is a unwillingness for some parts of country that you can be wealthy without stealing.Overtime,through the dint of hardwork,you can slowly build something .
Awolowo set up a newspaper before joining politics .
Do you think that it is beyond the capacity of the first set of educated people and probably the deepest nigerian thinker ever ,to make the right call regarding investment choices.
The likes of otudeko have been wealthy forever and he worked hard for his money. That is why he is not riding private jet like the criminals.
It is a known fact that you just do not squander truly earned income on frivolities.
It is not surprising that some people want to become overnight billionaires.
Subsidy scam
In the clannish thought the oil marketing business was dominated by the SW ,jonathan dumbo increased the number from 5 to over 100. The rest is history.

ON LAGOS.

Inspite of all the materials online, these people keep making this false claim.
Your freaking oil did not develop Lagos.
There are photos , documents and books to prove that.
Lagos was already built up by the yoruba and taxes paid by the yorubas.
The Lagos of then is better than the Lagos of now
The population of outsiders were insignificant until 1960.
Even after the 60's , the few outsiders were federal civil servants and they came to enjoy what has already been built.
THERE IS A BIGGER ARGUMENT THAT OIL MONEY ACTUALLY DESTROYED LAGOS AND THE SW AS A WHOLE BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT INVASION BY PEOPLE WHO ARE GENERALLY NOT ADDING ANYTHING POSITIVE TO THE SW.

ON OIL
MANY WISH THAT THE OIL WILL JUST DISAPPEAR LIKE SOMEONE POINTED EARLIER
IT IS DOCUMENTED FACT THAT COCOA MONEY ONCE FED NIGERIA,
IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT THE WESTERN REGION DID NOT MAKE MUCH NOISE ABOUT IT.
IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT COCOA WAX RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN 50% of THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S REVENUES BEFORE OIL.
WHEN YOU ADD revenues from oil palm,cereals,grains ,CORPORATE TAXES AND REVENUES FROM THE PORTS,YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE GOING.


It has come to the notice of all right thinking analyst that the struggle to free the country ,most especially the descendants of oduduwa,from the shackles of bondage ,has been reduced to

Oil blocks
Oil block sharing
Presidential largese
Positions sharing
National cake sharing .


BY THE WAY,
WHEN DID THE IJAWS BECOME THE ONLY OIL PRODUCERS?

SamAfrik: Your (OP) attempts @ inciting tribal animosity and justification of theft have been quite obvious in d article.
The question = is oil theft also prevalent in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, Angola?
Why is Nigeria the country that comes to the mind of illicit dealers when seeking to buy stolen oil?
The embarrasing height at which the national resource is being stolen is only because of bad leadership. PERIOD!

nairaman66: Pin point! I served in Bayelsa State.. The only thing keeping the place booming a bit is monies accrued from Crude Oil Sales! The Government does not have any template for creating jobs.. Nothing at all!

Ozonna: Just so you know, She's not Igbo.

ayinba1: Your post would have better credibility if it lacked the anti muslim and anti Hausa/anti yoruba overtones. Totally unnecessary to pass the message across.

Obiagelli: LIES LIES LIES.
It will take a determined and patriotic leader nothing more than a month to reduce oil theft by 80%. My 2cents.

Please post a link where saro wiwa spoke about oil theft.

sultaan: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Dodge-Dakota-extended.jpg

was ridiculous I thought I saw the memo excluding this type of situation all trucks made that has extended cab are tinted even replacement parts for those that don't know see link.

Its Christmas time to raise money for dpo and ig

How about RX300?

Siena: ^^^ If the tint permit also applies to factory tinted glass, then the Nigerian constitution is in utter shambles! Because with the majority of modern automobile, there's no option to fit plain glass, as it was never a factory option. With the light tint being standard.

We're talking light tint here, not Limo black. Factory tint is 70% for the screen and sides, note I am not referring to the darker rears in SUV's.

Ishilove: How person go carry jerrycan come drink juice? I don't believe it o. What happened to decorum? I refuse to believe Nigerians are so utterly shameless

ifyalways: I find it quite difficult to believe that one could afford USD 2000 for a pilgrimage trip and still be tripping for a common orange or whatever juice.

So much emphasis on white,food and inconsequential stuff in the write up. Na wao.

baconline: I am not sayn that I am not guilty of the offence,although I sincerely never though that the truck was tinted since its only d back quarter glass that is tinted,if that is an offence then I am ready to pay the price of payn what ever fee to the govt than for me to give any police man a dime.That's my position and I stand by it this law will only help police men to up the price of settlement from their victims

shidof: I cn't blame u cos frm wat u said ua nt a student. why cn't u say d thruth @ least for once. Is d fg thruthful on this matter? Absolutely no

kabba7: This Asari fellow yuo guys are argueing over is he not that terrrorist from Niger Delta. No oe shold be amazed if he is flown home in a presidentl jet he and his group has been working ( including pipe bursting ) for Jonathan . They both are hunting into one bag . Family awon Jaguda.

Tolexander: At least, he should show us a proof maybe picture to show his present presence in Benin.




The problem about nigerians, always ready to blame things on enemy but not always ready to accept the the situation as self inflicted.
He could tell us he was incarcerated as a result of the enemies and not his own action that warranted the incarceration.

mascot87: I wonder how Jonathan sleeps everyday with the high rate of corruption in this country under is watch.Jonacorrupt administration breaks all bad records ever in the 53 years rule of different government both military and democratically elected in Nigeria.What a shame

Thomsbuky: I am not hater of anybody or President, just asking legitimate questions in the mind of independent un-bias observer. Why did President get himself involved? with these issue? I am sure he got assistant or minister who can take charge of these raps. President represent whole Nigeria not to be caught up in this kind of scandal? Please give me answer and I will appreciate your response. By the way, I condemn OBJ as he tried to amend Nigerian constitution for another term in office.

duni04: The guy is a certified islamic Terrorist. He has trained in islamic terrorist camps in pakistan and Afghanistan

koonbey: I hope the above serves to correct the very mistaken Perception(or lack thereof) that some People have displayed on here in thinking that President Jonathan did something "wonderful" in securing the Release of Asari Dokubo,the opposite should be the Case,as this shows blatant nepotism and Insipidity,on what Grounds did the President deem it necessary to not only personally intervene in the legitimate Arrest and detention,when it had not extended beyond the legal Period,but also;how does he justify the Dispatch of a Public Asset to Transport a very recognized Terrorist who has more than once threatened the Unity and Peace of Nigeria? The Dumbos applauding this should ask themselves how many Times we have witnessed such decisive Action in the Defence of the average Citizen of this Country who is arrested? Also,when Nigerians are are arrested,imprisoned and executed in Countries like Malaysia,where is Jonathan with his intimidation and Braggadocio?
If you choose to beleive Jonathan secured Dokubo's release with "one phone Call",guess what it took the Russian President to scare Jonathan into releasing 15 Sailors arrested by Nigerian Authorities for a very evident and very serious Offence;Arms smuggling...a Flash;I would say.

yousee: That picture was taken in the sudan. I remember seeing it in a cyber cafe in kaduna years ago, half of the people in the cafe came to my console...it was sooo emotional. I remember one lady, just walked out without logging out her ticket, holding in the obvious tears.

That vulture one was the most depressing,u knw the french photographer won an award for that single shot of a child crawling to a UN feeding centre n the vulture waiting for him to die.Consiquently the photographer suffered acute depression and killed himself two weeks later
What a shame.



*@topic, these ones really got to me now;
16, The embracing couple in the collapsed factory (dead of course)
18, The falling man...(God save us all)
24, Finding out his brother was killed (I can imagine someone returning home only to be stopped and told a loved one is dead...God forbid!)

adaobi123:

koonbey: what is this baboon saying How do you know he didn't do anything to warrant his Arrest? The Man is a confirmed Terrorist and Anarchist,for him to have been arrested and his Properties searched shows that there was reasonable Suspicion of something Criminal.

If you really believe this,then you must be dumber than you sound...I'd be very impressed by your Stoopidity if you really believe that President Jonathan would Order an Incursion into another Sovereign Nation's Territory to secure the Release of someone legally arrested and detained in conformance with the Laws of said Country;after-all,to the best of Knowledge,Dokubo does not possess a diplomatic Passport.

these People have given so many Ultimatums that even my Tailor would not feel threatened by one from them,talkless of a Sovereign Entity with an operational Armed Forces Machinery,with international Laws on its Side.

Sam0: Almost every body is against d release ofdis guy, what exactly has he done?cos dey found nothing illegal with him ooooooo.

seangy4konji: GEJ always supports his CO terrorist and looters of our economy...Militant with Jets in a country heading for DOOM!!!

KingMEXX: Sup guys, earlier this month my mom gave me a Peugeot 504 car(I don't know the year of car but it should be around the 90's). The car still has its beauty but I think I want something better. Is there any possibility of getting a Honda or Toyota auto of recent time and at a good value of 2nd hand at a very cheap range of about 800k? am a student, that's why I don't have much to spend
