Biafran libration, if u realy exist and wnt to take revenge. Do it on those arab northerners (muslems) from their fore head you shall know them.a high % of them are terorist. Am frm d north n i knw how they hate christians for no reason, For the christians in d south spare them because they re lovers of peace,

wow. such brilliant discourse. . .not.

i really am speechless.


anyway, back to topic re: fuel subsidy.


the truth is in the question:

1. why wont dumbo jo attack and prosecute the so-called cabal?

2. if subsidy is removed, wont it be the same cabal importing the oil and still collecting our money?

3. is the cabal more powerful than the president and all the state machinery?

4. if the cabal is so powerful as to be beyond reach, why wont they still throw a hammer in the works of the old and new refineries?

the truth is: its a cabal war. we have the govt cabal on one side fighting the business cabal on the other. we are the collateral damage.

never trust the igbos to do anything right. it took two igbos to destroy naija: okonjo iweala and a certain azikiwe goodluck johnny-2--shoes

All the muslims in the north is a BH member and should be wipe out in this surface asap

you're welcome to take the first shot. but you wont be here to witness the last shot.

okpurukata:
Asha thanks for your effort to enlighten this hate filled individual. He is fast to accord Massob a pan Igbo status but is also fast to eject Boko Haram. The hatred his forefathers has instilled in him against the Ibos has eaten deep into him. Why not refer to Ohaneze as the real Pan igbo movement. My worry about inferis or whatever is that he and his fellow butchers have tacit approval for what BH is doing. A little threat fro MASSOB is alrady generating jitters. Know ye that we do nit derive pleasure in the death of others. Your pple down here remain safe but can we say the same of our pple up there?

threat from MASSOB? yer make me laugh. there is no tribe in nigeria that qualifies as a threat. sure, you can rattle your sabres in the safety of your neck of the woods, but when the sh1t hits the proverbial fan, one state in the north is enough to wipe you vermins off the face of the earth.

threat, ha! i fear a spider more than an igbo. all noise and wind but cowards deep down.

umechuma:
Northerners are just dumb.
What is difference between a Sharia States and Boko Haram= Islamize Nigeria
Or what is the difference between Sunni and Shiite Muslims=Boko Haram

i wont waste precious kilobytes talking to you. you're too stup1d to waarrant my time.

pistol:
it is high time igbos come back home and invest rather than being slaughtered unnecessarily

invest in what? ogogoro? you invest where people have purchasing power, not some rat infested backwater where poverty is endemic. there is good reason your brethren insist in living i the north despite the endless upheavals.

Nchara:
Any Igbo man still staying in the North must be unserious.

no. they;re being smart. else they'd have to retrurn home and wallow in palm-wine and misery while dreaming of armed robbery or kidnapping. if the north is as you think it is, your people wont be flocking here to make a living. but our people left your enclave because there never was anything worthwhile there anyway.

you guys have nothing: no oil, no agriculture, no jobs, nothing. you find your eldorado elsewhere. and you wonder why everyone just ignores you.

OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT


dear jonathan,

please reinstate subsidy, thank you.

yours,
Ex Inferis




there, that ought to do it.

ShangoThor:
By facilitating a U.N. Sponsored referendum. Stop trying to scare people.

[size=14pt]The Northern States that adopted Sharia would be better served to combine forces and form a new Nation State,"you can't have your cake and eat it too".[/size]

i dont recall the north agitating for a breakway shariah nation. BH is not trhe north. are we splitting on religious or ethnic divides? because in either case you've the messy problem of the southwest being predominantly muslim, and lesser tribes creeping all over the map.

whitehawk:
Even "clean man" Gen. Buhari had the small matter of 53 suitcase.

wow. the man has 53 suitcases of clothes? and jonah had no shoes? mind-boggling insanity!

damage control alert just went off

asha 80:
at first bolded show me where i supported massob guys that northerners need to leave the north.(moreover it was not massob that gave this ultimatum)

at second bolded where did i imply that i support relocation of northerners to north satisfy whatever dreams you think i have.

good. then i accept you as my friend and not your enemy. when we meet on the battlefield i shall embrace you. . . then cut off your head

is jackass one word?

asha 80:
first bolded people want their own nation yet they are busy building assets in a region that will not fall under their supposed country that they are trying to carve out.have you asked an igbo guy in the north of his thoughts about massob?as for saying you have not found an igbo guy talknig bad about massob then search harder.the same way i have not found a northerner talking bad about boko haram.

one is a political umbrella organisation.who gave them the power to do that?

asha-wo, your point mysteriously eludes me. are you denying biafra (sacrilege! blasphemy!)?

that has always being my point! you just supported the MASSOG guys that we need to leave the south, that hausas are your enemies becuase BH comes from the north blah blah yada yada. my point is this:

there are millions of innocent igbos in the north who've carved out means of livelihood here more than they ever can in the southeast. our teeming population ceates lucrative markets. are you asking them to leave the north for the east just to satisfy your secessionist dreams?

the northerners in the east are not as settled and economically important as the igbos in the north. you cannot disrupt businesses worth billions because some marginal group is on a rampage.

we are not your enemy. BH is. PDP is.

CrazyMan:
It's high time the Igbos, yourubas and hausas go our seperate ways, beacuse it's clear now that we can no longer live with each otherpeacefully. So In order to avoid further bloodshead, I would suggest that we go our seperate ways.

To hell with one Nigeria.  

how do you propose we go about it? are we going to hold a meeting and elect a committee to chart the division of the boundaries? who will lead the committee, hausa, yoruba, igbo? how about the other hundreds of tribes? dont they have a right to determine their destiny? dont be selfish. nigeria is bigger than the mere BIG THREE (hausa yoruba igbo)

our diversity isnt the weakling, its our gullibility. we allow our religious and political rulers to use our emotions and beliefs as it serves their purpose. ive never heard a fight between our looters in govt on religious/ethnic grounds. they smile and pat each other on the back and laugh at us.

meanwhile pastor joe and imam abu together with minister olu are constantly telling us we are the problem.

asha 80:
this where your mindset fails you because of notion you have of igbos.massob speaks for igbos yet you also said that igbos in the north own lots of properties.i wonder how the relation btw the two extreme situations.massob speaks for igbos and bh does not speak for northerners indeed.

seems last night's ogogoro is befuddling your logic. your incoherence neither posits a valid point nor invalidates mine. praytell what is the inverse relationship between igbos owning properties in the north and the activities of massob?

MASSOB is a pan-igbo movement that embodies your collective zeal for a biafran nation. thus, MASSOB is a well accpeted organ of your aspirations. it does speak for all igbos and im yet to find one igbo who says otherwise.

meanwhile BH arose as splinter faction from a sect of nigerian version of islam (the Izala sect) due to disagreement on the concept of western education and its place in islam. BH speaks for the members of its sect, a minority.

one is a political umbrella organization, the other is a religious faction. night and day, apple and oranges.

noiseless:
Whats eating you up dude, is issuing warnings a right that belongs to your boko haram brothers and no one else?

its a right that belongs to us all. i only ask that they dispel with the warnings and  carry out the deed. after they suffer a bloodied nose, they'll realize BH is a common enemy of ALL nigerians.

Boko Haram: Timeline of terror

2002: Founded
2009: Hundreds killed when Maiduguri police stations stormed
2009: Boko Haram leader Mohammed Yusuf captured by army, handed to police, later found dead
Sep 2010: Freed hundreds of prisoners from Maiduguri jail
Dec 2010: Bombed Jos, killing 80 people and blamed for New Year's Eve attack on Abuja barracks
2010-2011: Dozens killed in Maiduguri shootings
May 2011: Bombed several states after president's inauguration
Jun 2011: Police HQ bombed in Abuja
Aug 2011: UN HQ bombed in Abuja
Nov 2011: Co-ordinated bomb and gun attacks in Yobe and Borno states
Dec 2011: Multiple bomb attacks on Christmas Day kill dozens
Jan 2012: Over 50 peopled killed in Churches

and it's been proven for fact that BH did all these? are we then in agreement that the oct 1 bombings were carried out by MEND then?

asha 80:
so why not direct your anger to the so called group intead of the whole igbo?are you not seeing you are falling on your own advice?

because BH doesnt speak for all northerners. Massob speaks for all igbos.

asha 80:
there has been retaliation in benin and sapele.why not attack them?the northerners here left even before this so called biafra guys gave their ultimatum.who was chasing them?have you heard of reprisal attacks in the south east.

because there isnt a conspiracy by the northerners against christians or southerners. once a while some group or other out of their own bizarre motivations go on a rampage; doesnt mean an entre tribe or religion supports or initiated it. do we hold the entire south south for the trsnagressions of the militants? do we hold igbos accountable for the actions of armed robbers who are mostly igbo, or the viperous insults of MASSOB?

every single concerted act that has a pattern must be the work of govt. most nigerians of whatever religious and political leanings are just trying to survive. the rest have their own agenda: BH, MASSOB, ND Militants, PDP.

dont let splinter organizations composed of touts and thugs define your perception of others. the igbos that prosper in the north wouldnt have done so if their exists a conspiracy to annihilate them.

some thugs, who may or may not be hausa, kill igbos/christians; doesnt mean every single muslim/northerner is involved.

asha 80:
i wonder what was your response when boko haram gave their deadline.see you saying bastards as if the easterners have retaliated the nonsense you guys are doing up there.i am sure if it was the other way round you guys retaliation would have been immediate.

open your eyes, you bigoted dolt. before one single igbo was killed, hundreds of muslims were slaughtered by BH. they killed imams, followers, policemen and soldiers irrespective of religion. they even killed the son of one of their patrons after obasanjos visits. on the issue of threats, how many times have the ND militants vowed to kill of northerners? didnt the OPC kill hausas and asked them to leave the southwest?

no one in the northern political system can control BH except the PDP. in as much as you live in fear of them, so do we.

if you want to lynch an entire tribe on account of the evil of some shadow group then by all means do go on. but say your prayers and write your wills first.

nakedall:
People still answer Biafra?

its the pipe dream of a militant, morally bereft ethnicity. they parasite on your economy in your own domain while shouting "biafra" out of the other face. the east is nothing but a catacomb of idleness, sloth, satanic rituals and occultism, so they migrate like a flock of dumb birds to make their money off someone else's community and THEN insult their generous hosts. so BH kills your members; thats because there're way too many of you in the north such that if you randomly bomb anywhere chances are you'll find 10 or more igbos in the casualty list.

but BH kills anyone they dont like be they muslim, christian, yoruba, hausa, igbo, chadian etc. but no, igbos must always cry wolf because of their victim mentality.

even before the civil war, igbos always cry as the victims. meanwhile thousands of nigerians fall victims to YOU be it in the guise of kidnapping, armed robbery, fake drugs etc.

so go ahead, please plese please bring the war. in the aftermath when a few thousand of you remain, you get vindication to cry "victim".

the north got the shorter end of the deal. before the economic mainstay came from the southwest and the north, but substantially from the north. then it was commonwealth. but now everyone is claiming their own economic fiefdom. there are more prosperous igbos in the north than in the southeast, they come and establish themselves and largely behave themselves until now when some losers back home in the east for their own selfish purposes want to destroy what their brethren have built in the north. you think BH doesnt kill muslims? they've killed more muslims than christians. BH is our problem too!

but lets forget all that. lets all retire to our tribal enclaves. but who loses more? the maigards and mai shayis in the east, or the spare parts sellers, hoteliers, beer parlor owners, computer people, electronics vendors etc in the north?

there are 50 muslims to each igbo, we outnumber and outgun you bastards, so bring on the war. ask your parents what the civil tasted like first.

umechuma:
It's obvious your are a foreigner,when you relocate to Nigeria you will know that an Aboki man is easily identified  even in thick darkness

alright! igbos for breakfast, lunch and dinner. goody!

but hold on. . . the vast majority of northerners in igboland are poor menial workers hanging on only to their lives, most of whom have left.

on the other hand, the igbos here are sitting pretty on vast wealth and businesses. i dont think those igbos are ready to leave the north. but if they stay. . .well, BREAKFAST!!

bring it on, baby. BRING ON THE PAIN!!

The House of Representatives yesterday said it is not worried by the refusal of President Goodluck Jonathan to respect its resolution asking him to suspend the removal of oil subsidy.


Deputy Chairman House committee on Media and Public Affairs Rep Victor Ogene, who made this known to Daily Trust, said the lawmakers will invoke their powers under the constitution to restore subsidy.



Following the removal of subsidy, the pump price of petroleum jumped from N65 to N144.

Ogene said the House had to approve its votes and proceedings of Sunday’s emergency session to enable the National Assembly bureaucracy transmit the resolution to the executive in order to avoid excuses from that quota.

“If dialogue fails we will invoke our lawmaking and appropriation powers, in accordance with provisions of the 1999 constitution as amended, and put in money in the 2012 budget in tune with the wishes of most Nigerians.”

Ogene also said the statement credited to Jonathan’s spokesman Dr Reuben Abati, accusing the House of inciting Nigerians against the government by their resolution, will be probed by the newly constituted ad-hoc committees on subsidy dialogue and monitoring regime.

“That statement was childish even though we don’t want to waste our time responding to everything; but I am sure the ad-hoc committees will have to look into it,” he said.

For his part, Rep Aliyu Ibrahim Gebi (CPC, Bauchi) said: “If the President is saying that he does not need the consent of the National Assembly, which represent the Nigerian people, that means he also does not need the consent of Nigerians that elected us. So there is even no need to ever hold election in Nigeria again. Let the few of them just sit down with Jega and stamp and said this is our president. But as long as they are representing people and we are elected to be the people’s voices, it is full-hardy to say that you do not need the consent of the National Assembly.”

Abati had, while reacting to the resolution of the green chamber, described it as an attempt by the House of Reps to incite the Nigerian people against the government.

The lower legislative chamber had during an emergency session last Sunday asked President Jonathan to reverse government’s scrapping of petrol subsidies, which more than doubled fuel prices and sparked protests in many cities over the past one week.

The House also urged the labour unions to call off the strike and mass protests after adopting a motion sponsored by Rep Yusuf Tajuddeen (PDP, Kogi).

DAILYTRUST

yesterday at the emergency house of reps session:

Rep Yakubu Barde (PDP, Kaduna) was also booed when he opposed the motion, arguing: “Although my constituents are against subsidy removal I support it because Mr. President has said the country is broke.”

his constituents are against it. but he is for it. does that sound like representation of the people?

that is PDP for you!

okonjo iweala just lied that they can fix power with 195 billion NAIRA.

meanwhile over 20 billion DOLLARS have been spent so far and the situation is getting worse.

listening to her tell tales of splendor and grandeur from the subsidy withdrawal savings (a mere 7 billion dollars) you could swear we never had a budget. our yearly income is around 200 billion dollars. it has failed to achieve results. but now they tell us 7 billion dollars will achieve results.

200 billion =failure

7 billion =magic trick

lies and liars!

all things being equal, if the system maintains its present status quo, corruption will see to it that the 7 billion will disappear faster than you can blink. then they'll blame it on a new set of cabal. meanwhile, their fat salaries and allowances continue to flow in while you and i buy fuel at N500 per liter if the dollar keeps its astronomic rise.

i just remembered another wasteful binge called "rebranding nigeria" where billions disappeared and all that was left were t shirts and hats with slogans.

wake up, nigeria!

the whole thing started when the issue of N18,000 minimum wage came about. the state governors claim they cant pay that money unless fuel subsidy was removed. so they cooked up this story of a new garden of eden that would emerge from a mere 1.3 trillion naira where a budget of over 4 trillion failed consistently to bring about this change.

Ibori alone stole half the amount claimed as subsidy (450 billion naira, or $3 billion) and it took the UK to prosecute him.

if one governor can steal almost half a trillion and no one felt the pinch, how much have all the governors collectively stolen? $10 billion? $20 billion?

and how much are we wasting away daily from subsidizing the entire government structure which includes thousands of parasites,leeches, contractors, consultants, hangers-on, jobbers, praise singers, hatchet men, assassins, mistresses, bastards, prostitutes, homosexuals, car dealers, hotels, builders, etc?

recently Obama stood inline at a BEst Buy store and bought a $40 Nintendo Wii game for his kids using his personal credit card. meanwhile the top cats in govt get EVERYTHING for free: food, clothes, cars, planes, phones, internet, whores, little boys, vacations, houses, hotels, etc.

so lets start from there: sacrifice your guilty pleasures, fix the system to benefit the ordinary man, THEN we can talk subsidy removal.

when the many members of boko haram and innocent civilians were being slain by the police and shown by Al Jazeera, no one protested and condemned the executions. the video is still circulating.

not one single southerner/christian said a peep. the gruesome murder of their leader also did not elicit a response from the christian community. when hundreds of muslims were targeted and killed by BH in Maiduguri and Yobe still not a word of condemnation from CAN.

why? because it was seen as a largely northern affair and to blazes with the sanctity of life.

now that the roving evil kills-squad is targeting christians CAN suddenly found its voice.

The Niger Delta militants who bombed and kidnapped nigeria almost to its knees were pardoned and given cash.

BH that was largely minding its business was harassed and persecuted by the police and then mercilessly annihilated.

double standards.

the same thing is happening in jos. when xtians kill muslims, christians say "serves them right, they shoiuld leave jos"

when muslims kill christians (especially igbos) then everyone says "ethnic cleansing. igbos are nigerians and can live anywhere".

unless we all agree that life, irrespective of religion and region, is sacred and must condemn ALL atrocities as our brothers keepers, then all hope is lost.

ON FUEL SUBSIDY.

it is naive to believe the lies that $7 billion a year will turn our fortunes around when $200 billion a year failed.

1. diesel subsidy has vanished

2. abacha loot has vanished

3. savings from debt cancellation has vanished

5. excess crude cash has vanished

6. multiple budgets have vanished

7. IMF/WB loans have vanished

8. PEF cash has vanished

9. why should we expect the $7 billion subsidy savings not to vanish?


a. if they cant maintain our existing refineries, how can they maintain the proposed new ones?

b. is the so-called cabal above the law? why not arrest them or checkmate their activities?

c. didnt the same "cabal" fund PDP elections?

d. isnt Dangote, who is doing the most economic harm to niegria and whose brother is part of the cabal, a recipient of the highest civilian honor?

e. why cant they cut costs? how can less than 10 people eat food worth almost 3 million a day, while 70% of the nation starves?

f.  the $7b subsidy funds are ours collectively. if the govt withdraws the funds, we still pay the same amount out of our pockets. how does that benefit us?

g. why spend almost a trillion on security when money isnt the problem and complain about a trillion elsewhere that actually serves nigerians?

h. why does patience need N5 billion for an illegitimate contraption when she has no legal status in the constitution beyond being a mere consort?

how did the subsidy come about? because by design the govt killed the refineries. the govt claims it cannot run the refineries, or NEPA, or the ports etc but its doing a remarkably good job running the presidency and NASS such that a substantial part of our budget ends up there.

samir101ng:
Generally, most tablet computers come with sim card slots which means you can put sim cards from different GSM operators. The Samsung Galaxy Tab offered for sale by Etisalat is sold unlocked and can be used by any GSM operator in Nigeria. However, you need to use a Micro-Sim. MTN currently offers Micro-sims for sale (Apple Ipad & Iphone 4 use miro-sims) but you can use a Micro-sim cutter to use a different networks sim. I can confirm this because i personally bought one for a friend at their Abuja office (Wuse II). CDMA operators (Starcomms, Multilinks, Visafone) however, are not supported.

I would disagree with you on the above statement. Samsung Galaxy Tab sold by Etisalat is unlocked. The device runs on Android 2.2 OS. There is no need for any flashing, jailbreaking or unlocking like the Apple Ipad. What Etisalat does is provide you with a special sim that has all the value added services (Free SMS, Data Allowance etc) on it. Without the special sim card, you would not enjoy the value added services of the galaxy tab on the etisalat network even if you use a data or normal etisalat sim.

wrong on many counts.

1. generally most tablets come WITHOUT a sim slot, relegating to usage of personal hotspot devices (MiFis) or Wlan. the sim slot is optional if you opt for a device sold by a data vendor or the very few global editions.

2. Etisalat Galaxy tab is sold LOCKED to the Etisalat network, unlocking requires rooting the device and hex-editing one byte (0x181469) in the nv_data.bin you dump off the efs folder. done this countless times.

3. unlike the iPad and Iphone 4, the Galaxy Tab uses regular SIM and NOT MicroSIM as you so boldly claimed.

obviously you know diddly about tablets.

our "gallant and high tech" SSS wants to hog all the credits./ the discovery didnt come about as a result of clever detective work; it came by way of a tip off.

second, you cant ship even one container and remain anonymous. talk of more of 13. heck, you cant even fedex a one gram package and remain unknown. it just doesnt happen.

obviously another golden opportunity is presenting itself to blame the north. Dokpesi, get ready to be arrested again.

third, there is no reason to conduct secret trials in the October 1 case. what sensitive information are you talking about? if you have suspects in hand and credible evidence to initiate legal proceedings then there is no need for the secrecy unless the govt is afraid of getting embarassed again from further revelations.


why is henry okah not tried in secrecy? why does he have defense counsel? why was Mutallab given a lawyer?

so why are the october 1 suspects denied lawyers?
