Our attention has been drawn to a statement issued by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to call the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami to order for diligently doing his job. We read with utmost shock and disgust the statement emanating from Senator Abudullahi as the Senate official reaction to news of arraignment of some persons over an alleged forgery of the 2015 Senate Standing Rules. We observed that instead of addressing some fundamental questions about the legality of the actions of certain individuals, the Senate official reaction embarked on name calling and its usual smear campaign. We thought that, the Senate official reaction would have found it convinient to answer the following questions in their statement. 1. Who authorised the promulgation of the Senate Standing Order 2015?

The press statement recently issued by the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) accusing the Honourable Minister of Interior, Retired Lieutenant General Abdulrahman Dambazau of displaying lack of passion in finding lasting solution to long-existed conflicts between herdsmen and sedentary farmers in the country is the zenith of deliberate missinformation by a group that have lost touch with reality. To allge that a Minister who recently finished hosting the Lake Chad Basin Regional Protection Dialogue aimed at fostering stronger co-operation among member countries to defeat terrorism, fast track resettlement of displaced persons and putting an end to intermittent outbreak of conflicts between herdsmen and sedentary farmers in Nigeria is tacitly supporting the crisis amounts to the highest level of incitement.

N12 Million Saga: Investigate Saraki for Money Laundering We have waited for umpteenth time thinking the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and other anti-corruption agencies in the country would do the needful. We are not only suprised that the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki haven admitted that the sum of N12 million was stolen from his house is still walking around as freeman without undergoing investigation.

Below is a link to an article I came across today http://www.opinionnigeria.com/eposing-paul-onomuakpokpo-s-ignorance-by-edwin-uhara/#sthash.JBRHozDH.dpbs |
senier007:My advice for the soldiers is to be very carefull in that area because they could get killed in the area. This is because, there are many creeks on the high sea leading to Brass which the millitants knows very well. Besides, innocent people will only get killed or get their boat capsized. Even the JTF guys in Nembe Creek and Ogbolumanbiri cannot help. Militatant from Southern Ijaw and other areas converged there. This is a community with more than 90 oil wells and three flowstations owned by Shell Company. I know this because it is my village |
galadima77:I want to say that Dambazau's appointment is purely on competent and not on favouritism. He is the first army chief to get PhD and was Director of Security and Intelligence during the APC Presidential Campaigns. He is a member of Interpol. He is the author of five books used in Universities. He has introduced far reaching reforms in Interior Ministry. |
rose54321:The Interior Minister is a hardworking Minister. He has transformed NIS by making it to work effeciently. His problem is that, because of his profession as an Army Officer, he does not talk always. But, he is a silent achiever |
Cannonleo:When Dambazau was Chief of Army Staff, he made staff welfare his priority. He built new army barracks to contain soldiers who were facing accommodation problems. He instilled discipline in the army. If not for the kind of Dambazau who is highly principled, the situation Nigeria found itself in 2009-2010 when there a constitutional crisis over Jonathan becoming Acting President before Dambazau kept the army quiet and allowed the NASS to come up with the Doctrine of Neccesity. If you consider what happened , you will notice the man as Chief of Army Staff had the opportunity of becoming Head of States, but he refused. Interms of achievement, he saved our democracy etc |
alt3r3g0:You see, the Minister cannot be everywhere. He was in Anambra when fire infeno occured. He was Borno to see the IDPs. He was in Niger to commiserate with traders who lost their shops to fire infeno. He was in Delta to pay condolence over the killing of a Monarch by herdsmen. He was in Cameroon the other to formalise arrangement for the return of Nigerian Refugees. I think ND case does not need a statement since security operatives are arresting the culprits. |
Adminisher:You see the Minister is trying his best. On the issue of pipeline vandalisation, you will agree with me that personel are not much. Out of the numbers, 5,000 personel were sent to the Northeast to ensure the return of peace and civil life in the enclave freed by the soldiers because according to him, winning the peace is as important of winning the war. Another 8,000 personel have been deployed to guide our solid minerals. They are known as the Solid Minerals Defenders Armed Squad. If you go the NSCDC, the desk has been created. In the case of porous border, you are right because the nation has about 1,400 illegal entry points. But the Minister is on top of the situation because, the Ministry is planning to deploy sniffer dogs, ICT gadgets and others to help the shortfall in the staff strength of the Immigration Service. On huge budgetary allocation, all the Internal Security Apparatus are under this Ministry, like Fire Service, Immigration, Prisons, NSCDC and Police. The wage bill alone is something. |
funlord:The Minister of Interior is the only performing Minister seen so far dear. His policies are inline with the change mantra of the regime. He has restored sanity in the Police, NSCDC, Prisons, Fire Service and Immigration. In the case of Prisons which currently has about 65 thousand inmates which about 70 percent are awaiting trial, General Dambazau has introduced measures to reduce it drastically. Because Nigeria has about 1,400 unmaned illegal entry points in to the country which makes it possible for terrorists and other foreign herdsmen to carry dangerous weapons in to the country, the Minister went to Ghana, Cameroun, Chad, Nigel and Benin Republic to sign multinational agreement to restart joint border patrol etc. While I am not holding briefs for the Minister, I will say the only problem the man is facing is the media that often distorts his policies and portray him in bad light just because he is not a talking type. |
Maisuya1:Excellent write up |
ibotjaycob:Dear Sir, I think we should not allow quacks who thinks that by being half-baked Journalist, they are better than you and I to mislead us about feeding prisoners with N14, 000 per day. The Minister said Nigeria needs about N10 billion yearly to feed about 70, 000 prisooners. Now, if you multiply N14, 000 by 70, 000, you will get N980 million per day. So, if you calculate N980 million by 365 days which make a year, you will get N357.7 billion per year. The question is, is 357.7 billion equal to N10 billon which the minister said at the Town Hall Meeting? If you are to divide N10 billion by 65, 000 which is the total number of prisoner in Nigeria, what you will get is N450 per day. However, here is a story that arouse my curiosity on the matter before I embark on the research. http://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/217084/re-nigeria-spends-n14-000-daily-to-feed-prisoners.html Shalom! |
Yemidaniels:Since the writer of such a mischievous story has shown that he does not understand simple arithmetic let alone getting his facts together before going public, I have decided to educate him a little on the subject matter. In last year's budget, the sum of N450 was appropriated for each prison inmate per day; this includes N150 for gas! And there are 65, 000 inmates nationwide. Now, if you multiply N450 by 65, 000 you will get N29, 250, 000 as the total amount consumed by prisoners everyday. So, to get the yearly cost, you multiply N29, 250, 000 by 365 which is the number of days we have in a year. Now, if you do this, you will get N10, 676, 250, 000 being the annual amount spent on prisoners. The Minister also said that government cannot sustain this huge amount spent on feeding prisoners alone. Hence, the Ministry is looking at other options such as the reviving of the moribund prison farms which he ordered their reopening last year! |

Yemidaniels:The news credited to the Honourable Minister of Interior Lieutenant General Abdulrahman Dambazau as saying Nigeria spends N14, 000 daily to feed each prisoner is the height of mischief, news distortion and misinformation which no news platform that worth its name can let go without punishing whoever is responsible for such a spurious story. That the Minister has suffered alot of mud-slinging as a result of sensational reporting by 'Yellow Journalists' is an understatement, but the worrisome part is the ferocious dimension such an ungodly adventure has taken lately. At a Town Hall Meeting held in Kaduna State, The Minister of Interior, General AB Dambazau among other things said, Nigeria requires about N10 billion annually to feed Prisoners across the country. His words: ''Our Prisons are congested with close to 70, 000 prison inmates and awaiting trials. Quiet a number of them are there because they cannot their fines.''

Jesusloveyou:I think what Nigerians cannot accept is outright misinformation. How can a news medium that worth its name distort an innocent statement made by the Honourable Minister of Interior? For the records, the Minister said the Federal Government requires N10 billion every year to feed about 70, 000 Prisoners who are mostly on awaiting trial list. Hence, the point he was making was on the need to privatise it so that it will be managed by the private sector so as to reduce cost on government. You get the exact word of the Minister here http://leadership.ng/news/525426/fg-introduce-biometric-identification-tackle-smuggling-arms-drugs-danbazzau Finally, I appeal to the managers of Nairaland to checkmate outright disinformation because they can claim to love Nigeria when they allowed the majority to be misinformed. |

pangea2:Thanks. I am not his PA, but that will not prevent me from speaking the truth. I am from the South South and we have nothing in common |
When people come Nairaland to insult people tarnish peoples image, I think men of conscience should speak out before people are misled. Below is a piece I found on Dambazau Sworn-in as Interior Minister on November 11, 2015, by President Muhammadu Buhari, General Dambazau immediately rolled up his sleeves to effectively meet the challenges governance has put on his shoulders. And in less than six months, there are records on ground to justify the change mantra of the Buhari Administration. For Instance, the Interior Ministry entered in to the biggest partnership between it and the Lagos State Government which led to the procurement and launching of internal security hardware worth N4.8 billion. The Ministry this year organized the largest counter-terrorism training for officials and members of the Nigerian Police Force. The Minister has changed the orientation of the Nigerian Police from one that is rights violator to one that is a respecter of human rights of the citizens in the course of carrying out their duties. Also, within these short periods, the Minister professionalized the operations of the Federal Fire Service (FFS). It can be noted that before now, the duties of the service are been performed by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), while the FFS which has the fire mandate is left redundant. He has also ordered strict adherence to the nation’s National Fire Code in public and private buildings so as to mitigate the incessant fire outbreaks in the country. In the same vein, the Minister has personally visited some sites like Nnewi in Anambra State which recently experienced fire outbreak to commiserate with victims of the inferno and assured them of Federal Government's support and plans to prevent future occurrence. The Minister has also instilled discipline in the activities of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). Under the new rule, any member of the corps that misuse or abused the fire arms allotted to him or her while on duty would be severely dealt with according to the new directive. To complement the efforts of the Buhari administration on economic diversification, the Minister has authorised the deployment of 5000 NSCDC men to protect mining sites. The Minister has also deployed another 5000 NSCDC to Northeast to help bring peace. He has directed the IG of Police to fish out and prosecute those behind the Agatu crises. To permanently arrest the clash between herdsmen and sedantary farmers, the Minister has called for a round table discussion of all stakeholders so that Government will have a comprehensive view to it and adopt a holistic approach to it. Since the Governor of Benue said it is Foreign herdsmen that responsible, he has signed multinational agreements with neighbouring countries to prevent transborder pastoralist from moving with dangerous weapons. There are many things the Minister has achieved which time will not permit me to highlight. Even though I am a PDP man, I will not allow people to crucify an innocent man because I have conscience |
