APC broom juju is really potent.

Why is Hell-rufai attempting to reinvent the wheel and cause religion acrimony in Nigeria ?

By Caleb Ayansina (Abuja) & Olayinka Latona (Lagos) ABUJA –

THE Catholic Church, has sent a strong warning to Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai over the move to enact a religious bill to prohibit preaching of religious sermons in the state.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja, the Director of Caritas International, a department under the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), Rev. Fr. Evaristus Bassey said the peoples’ will is sovereign and must be respected, noting that the bill had enormous potential abuses, therefore, it should not become law, because it would be misused against one religion by ambitious state officials.

Fr. Bassey said: “The danger in Nigeria is the manipulation of structures and institutions by strong individuals. Thus, the fear is that even if the proposed bill contains good aims, the proposed restrictions would play into the hands of officials of state who have a hegemonic mentality and would allow them the freedom to persecute one religion in favour of another.

“The principle of separation of state and Church/Mosque which springs from the supposed secularity of the Nigerian constitution would be severely battered if this bill is pursued in the way it is. Gov. el Rufai, who is quite dogged in the pursuit of anything, given this tool, would pursue ardently both what is good and what may be divisive. We therefore advise that Kaduna State rely on existing laws and existing state instruments of law enforcement, to maintain religious harmony in the state instead of reinventing the wheel.

“The majority of Kaduna people appear not to want this law, and their wishes should be respected, as no governor is an emperor but an elected official who should defer to the people’s will. The people’s will is sovereign; because of the potential abuses this bill could bring when it becomes law, we opine that it is not necessary.

” On the last National Conference, the Catholic Church called on President Muhammadu Buhari to revisit the report and institute measures which should stand Nigeria on the pillar of justice and peace, arguing that “Niger-ian citizens should continue to engage political and state structures to become institutions which are guided by the rule of law.

“Presently, our constitution is like a hermaphrodite, neither completely secular nor religious. A secular constitution guarantees the rights and dignity of all under the law,” the Church said.

In a similar development, the Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Most Rev. Alfred Adewale Martins also frowned at the legislation, arguing that the Nigerian Constitution makes pro-vision for freedom of worship.

Speaking during a Chrism Mass at the Holy Cross Cathedral, Lagos, Martins stressed that any law that will restrict freedom of worship, should certainly not see the light of the day.

“I hope the governor will seriously listen to what the people are saying because democracy is about the people and the good of the people. There may be good intentions behind the law but it is important that in making laws for the people, the laws can only be effective and just if the people have an input.”

Calling on government to take the welfare of Nigerians more seriously by enacting policies that will benefit the general populace, Martins lamented that Nigerians are facing numerous challenges which, according to him, is very worrisome.

“The government should take the welfare of the people more seriously; there is a lot of suffering, poverty, pro-blems among the people. Government should put in place policies that will indeed help ordinary citizens feel a sense of belonging in the nation,” the archbishop appealed.

And someone would tell me that Apc is prepared for governance.

We are in serious trouble in this country.
By the time Apc is through with their back and forth policies, admittal and denials in this country, even the zombies will agree that they made a mistake.

The broom-witchcraft work will forever prevent their brains from proper functioning.

Only a miracle will deliver the brainwashed zombies.

Be reasonable for once...you and I know subsidy is not one of the things that should be part of the present nigeria economy situation...the only mistake the FG made was not putting the right measures in place before the subsidy was removed to prove oil marketers are dispensable....now their oog motive of cutting cost has back fired

APC, government of mistakes and error. Interesting!

hurricaneChris:
After England lost worldcup hosting right to Russia in 2018, the then fifa president, Sepp Blatter, allegedly said "English football is run by 1diots"

Ashley Cole re echoed it when he called english FA "bunch of twats"

Am actually feeling this country is run by 1diots. From petroleum to power, finance to information ministries, they all look confused.

Something tells me Buhari installed these guys in these ministries to embarrass them.

Else can anyone tell me why it looks like this confused govt is a one man show?

I quite agree with you. They are all idiotic leaders with brainwashed mofos as followers.

At less than $40/barrel?

See their justification:

"According to the agency, the Expected Open Market Price of petrol for non-NNPC stations as at April 2, 2016, was N92.34 per litre, against an official pump price of N86.5 per litre, leaving an under-recovery or subsidy of N5.84 per litre".

Wahali, this government is super clueless.

When some of us mentioned repeatedly that this government and its handlers are naïve, fraudulent and incompetent, we are very sure of what we are saying.

APC before coming to power condemned the last administration on fuel subsidy payment, President Buhari even mentioned he knows nothing about what fuel subsidy means. "What is Fuel Subsidy" - GMB?

Few days back (30th March 2016) APC government went public to declare 100 billions of Naira monthly saving through fuel subsidy removal.

http://dailytimes.ng/save-n100b-monthly-subsidy-removal-nnpc/

Alas, Nigerians are the ones paying for the fuel subsidy indirectly, see my response to the thread below:

Firefire:
“We have been able to eliminate subsidy payments by managing prices at current levels through price modulation. This has resulted to savings of N100 billion monthly for the nation,”

Nonsensical nonsense.

Why is this government so deceitful and fraudulent ? You mention savings and price management ?

See my computation below, and let someone tell this government to stop telling lies about savings when Nigerians are the one indirectly paying for the removed subsidy.

Few days later (3rd April 2016) same government is now announcing the returns of petrol subsidy by N5.84 for every litre of premium motor spirit consumed in Nigeria. Please, why are they returning the alleged fraudulent fuel subsidy payment

Making a simple calculation on the impact of this returned fuel subsidy: {5.84 x 41 Million Liters consumed per day x by 30 days = N7.1 Billion monthly fuel subsidy payment.}

You will all recall Alhaji Aliko Dangote predicted that the removal of fuel subsidy will make Nigerians to exchange $1 for N500. (We almost hit the target).

See what APC leadership have to say to justify the subsidy removal:

According to Ibe Kachikwu: “We can’t even understand where those subsidies were going to. There are a lot of fraud elements in it so we need to cut that off.

The call for government to scrap the payment of subsidy on petrol has become louder recently following the drop in crude oil prices.

Also, All Progressives Congress and former Governor of Lagos, Bola Tinubu, joined the call for the government to scrap the subsidy regime.

Mr. Tinubu, who had opposed the removal of the subsidy under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, said subsidy was originally a good idea, but it had since been “perverted”.

Criminalizing fuel subsidy payment and outright removal without finding a lasting solution to the variables in itself is a FRAUD.


Fellow Nigerians, can you now agree with me that this government is fraudulent, corrupt and clueless ?


Please here your president & APC statement on fuel subsidy removal.

ODD Number

APC will surely fail in Rivers as usual.

Shame on INEC

Shame on APC

Shame on Buhary.

This foolish APC and their brainwashed zombies will not stop deceiving Nigerians.


Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! on you all.

Is okay, Buhary continue.

Godfullsam:
CHANGE has come... I am sure the guy voted/supported CHANGE. He has got his own share of it.

By 2019, it will be A P C .... SHAME

Good luck to the guy on his voting CHAIN.

APC, Party of professional fraudsters and career rogues...

That is part of the CHAIN he voted.

Nairadays:
Firefire, am not an economist.

Please see my edit.

Should we say the market has been deregulated. I don't know.

Am just coming from the banks around my working place, asking them can i send money outside Nigeria via Western Union, since WU will mostly charge NGN225 to $1, at least it will help. But 2 of the banks says they've put sending out money via western union on hold. Mtcheww. Only 1 bank says it allows Moneygram only if i have an account with them.

Ok

Nairadays:
The banks are now permitted to source for the greenback themselves, not like before where they were offered via the DAC system of the CBN.

When they source from the CBN, they're bound by the law to charge at that rate.

And the 'Greenback' allows that margin ?


N197/$ => N360/$, 83%

That Greenback must be fraudulent.

It's a fraudulent practice right under the Angelic government.

This is another official corruption like the case of legalizing 'Black Market' filling stations across Nigeria, where fuel sells above the official pump price.

Corruption everywhere you GO.....

1:24 PM you still dey do April fool ?

I blame Buhary & the APC lying bastards for your predicament.

Thank you APShit.

April foolish.

If this is truly done, I will...

Please what is the Yield Percentage ?

We share your pains at this perilous time.

onatisi:
We warned Nigerians but they wouldn't lister

Painfully, some of the Zombies are suffering and still smiling.

ba7man:
Can't this new govt just locate the people behind all this, line them up and shoot them point blank in the head?

If their supporters show up online and in protests, round them up and shoot them on DSTV.

That way, they'll know that things are going to be difficult for them from now on.

Please note that Buhary is heading the department of Petroleum as the Minister, he should take the first blame for his cluelessness.

kenonze:
Withheld but not missing

Withheld under APC, missing allegation during GEJ.


APC is indeed a fraudulent party.
