PoliticsSenate Forgery: Leave Malami Alone, Group Tells NASS by Ewelesuo(op): 2:14pm On Jun 22, 2016
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?

PoliticsRe: Dambazau, Not Deploying Soldiers Against Herdsmen Is Sabotage by Ewelesuo(op): 10:12am On Jun 10, 2016
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.

PoliticsRe: Soldiers Avert Attacks On Pipelines At Gulobokri, Ewele by Ewelesuo: 10:57pm On May 29, 2016
senier007:
The Nigerian army on Sunday said troops on patrol in the Niger-Delta region averted attacks by militants on some critical oil infrastructures.

A statement by Army spokesman Colonel Sani Usman, said troops of 343 Artillery Regiment and of 2 Brigade, 82 Division of the Nigerian Army in the early hours of today carried out patrol within the general area of Gulobokri and Eweleso, around Brass area in Bayelsa State.

Usman said the patrol team encountered some armed militants in two speed boats with intent to blow up Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC) pipeline in Gulobokri.

He said the suspected militants opened fire on the patrol team, explaining that: “The troops responded with overwhelming superior firepower and as a result, the suspected criminals sped off from the area with many of them sustaining gunshot wounds.”

He added that: “No casualty on the patrol team. Unfortunately, a staff of Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), attached to the team sustained gunshot wound. He has since been evacuated and he is in a stable condition.”

Usman also said another patrol team of the same unit of the 82 Division Nigerian Army, on patrol to Perigbene House Boat (HB) also encountered three Speed boats suspected to be containing militants about to attack another critical infrastructure in the area.

He said: “The troops opened fire on them, killing most of them and injuring others. However, the casualty on militants cannot be ascertained as it was raining heavily and the raging storm could not allow troops to go on pursuit of the escaping criminals.”

He added that a mop up operation has been organized for those militants that escaped with gunshot wounds and injuries as they may be receiving treatment in the neighbouring communities.

He Usman assured that troops would continue to intensify patrol in the general area to avert further vandalization or attacks in the area.

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

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.

I agree with you to some extent, maybe not as far as him "f.ucking off", but he needs to sit up.

He hasn't issued a single statement since the Niger delta bombing, not to talk of leading a delegation there. .

The silver lining though is that now Nigerians, like never before, are holding their public office holders accountable. That's definitely a plus.
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

when you run a government on CAC( command and control principle) initiative and cfeativity becomes the first victims
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

Totally agree.
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:
Agreed about DanBazzau. The NSCDC is under him but there is still pipeline bombing. His budget is the third highest yet we are not seeing action on securing borders or regulating cattle herdsmen. They need to be properly registered, given entry passes and designated routes so that they don't stray unto farmlands. Ifor they have IDs, you can filter out the killers amongst them and descendants on them
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.

Good!



That minister of interior 'Dambanza abi na dambuzu' needs to _fuck off!
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.

This letter from Shehu Elkanemi of Borno to Sultan Mohammed Bello in January 1824 contains a clear message to all Nigerians.....my gratitude to Aminu Gamawa of Harvard Law School for sharing......

Letter From Sheikh Of Borno To Sultan Mohammed Bello
Dated 23rd of Rabee-ul-thani, 1238; (Corresponding to January, 1824)


Praise be to God, and prayers and peace be unto the Apostle of God (Mohammed).
To the honoured and accomplished, the virtuous and munificent, the pattern of goodness and the standard of benevolence, head of the Soodanic kingdon, and ruler of the country of Hausa, our friend, the learned Mohammed Bello, son of the intelligent sheikh Ossman, whose soul may God shelter with the clouds of mercy and peace.
Our salutation, accompanied with affection as strong as the odour of musk, and as perpetual as the movement of the globe, and with the mercy and blessings of God, be unto you.
Hence, the cause of writing this letter and the purpose of its lines, is to acquaint you that the bearers are English travelers; whose nation, out of all the other Christians, has maintained with the Mooslemeen uninterrupted treaties of religious amity and friendship, established since ancient periods, which they inherited from their forefathers and ancestors; and on this account, they penetrate into Mooslemeen countries whenever they please, and traverse all provinces and lands in confidence and trust, without fear. They came to our country, sent to us by our virtuous and accomplished friend, the Lord Yousuf Pasha, master of Tripoli, to see and delight themselves with the wonders of the Land of Soodan, and to become acquainted with its rarities, as lakes, rivers, and forests (or gardens) ; equal to which are seldom seen in other countries.
After having accomplished their wishes, in seeing all the things that the land of Barnooh (Borno) and its environs contained, they felt anxious to visit your country from what they heard of the innumerable wonders therein. I have, therefore, permitted them to proceed on their journey, accompanying them with letters which explain their object.
You are well aware of what is stated in Alcoraanic sayings upon the subject of the obervance of honour, dictated by our Lord, the Apostle of God; and that the true Mooslemeen have always avoided shedding the blood of Christians, and assisted and protected them with their honour. Be then attentive to these travelers, and cast them not into the corners of neglect; let no one hurt them, either by words or deeds, nor interrupt them with any injurious behavior: but let them return to us, safe, and may the high God bestow upon you the best reward for your treatment to them, and insure to us and to you the path of righteousness for conduct in this life.
Our salutation may be given to all who are about you, and to those who are related to you in general. And peace be unto you.

Please where is the number of the man who said they feed prisoners with 14,000 naira daily, i need to tell him he has a special place in hell
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.

Nigeria government is annually spending N10billion for feeding of prisoners in the country, minister of interior AbduraRaham Dambazau has said. With the country estimated prison population of 57,000, the country is roughly spending N14,000 for a three-square meal of each prisoner per day. http://dailynigerian.com/2016/05/10/nigeria-spends-n14000-daily-to-feed-each-prisoner-minister/
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!

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.

PoliticsRe: Minister Of Interior, Abdulrahaman Dambazau Asked To Resign For Being Too LAZY by Ewelesuo:
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
