http://www.today.ng/metro/ndlea-destroys-another-43-hectare-cannabis-plantation-in-oyo-state/ The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Thursday called on the Oyo State Government to partner with it in curbing illegal cannabis planting in the state. The NDLEA Commander in the state, Mrs Faboyede Omolade, made the call while addressing newsmen at the Seriki Gambari Forest Reserve in Oluyole Local Government Area. The agency, in a five-hour joint operation, destroyed a 43-hectare cannabis plantation at the forest reserve. NAN reports that no arrest was made. The exercise was conducted by operatives from the NDLEA, Nigeria Police and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). Others included operatives of the Department of State Security Services (DSS) as well as officials of the Oyo State Ministry of Natural Resources and Forest Reserve. NAN recalls that NDLEA had on June 11 raided the same forest reserve and destroyed 24 hectares of cannabis plantation. The NDLEA boss said: “In order to achieve our goal of tackling drug trafficking and cannabis cultivation we need to partner with the state government. “We were here last week and it is shocking to discover another 43 hectares of cannabis and from what we are looking at, it can extend to about 2,000 hectares. “If the state government bring investors to cultivate the land for agricultural purposes, it will be occupied and it will also serve as a means of empowering youths for employment. The commander said that if more youths were engaged, there would be a reduction in illegal activities. According to her, the forest reserve covers about 11, 000 hectares and agricultural activities will ensure that the forest is not destroyed further. “We are not relenting in our efforts and we intend to strategise the more while hoping that we get assistance from our foreign partners,” she said. |
NDLEA arrests 84 suspects with 2,633kg of Indian hemp in Ogun o By Daud Olatunji ABEOKUTA—Ogun State command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has arrested 84 suspects with cannabis sativa, otherwise known as Indian hemp, between January and June this year. The sector commander of the agency in the state, Balla Fagae, disclosed this in Abeokuta after a roadshow organised by the agency in collaboration with other sister security agencies to mark this year’s World Drug Day. Fagae explained that the command found 2,633 kilograms of Indian hemp and 35 kilograms of psychotropic substance with the suspects. He further said that of the 84 suspects, the command had been able to secure 18 convictions in all the cases charged to court, while 30 of such cases were still pending at the Federal High Court. He said: “Between January and June, NDLEA, Ogun State command has been able to arrest 84 culprits from whom we have been able to make drugs seizure totalling 2,633 kilograms of Indian hemp majorly, 35 kilograms of psychotropic substance.’’ Speaking on the strategy adopted by the command to reduce the rate at which cannabis sativa was being planted in the state, Fagae said: “We have embarked on Operation Weed Out, where we moved into the forest reserves where these drugs are cultivated, destroyed such before they are ripe for harvest because it will be difficult to be able to curtail such drugs if allowed to be transported into the city.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/ndlea-arrests-84-suspects-with-2633kg-of-indian-hemp-in-ogun/ |

On my way back from PH few hours ago I noticed Agulu lake Hotel has been completed, the whole place has been light-up, I believe it will be commission soon, Government attention is also needed some parts of Onitsha, the commissioner of environment need to pay more attention around upper Iweka, up flyover, and Onitsha Owerri road, Uga/Ekwulobia road is also seeking for government attention, and Oba where they dump refuse, seriously need to pay more attention on, I noticed the state government are trying to use fence to block the refuse site, although times are hard, we apperciate his great efforts paying works and doing all these massive projects, I want to use this opportunity to thank Gov Obiano for the morden bus-stop, signposts and road marking going on around Anambra, beautification of Borromeo round-about, Oba international market and other projects, so many states are facing economic crunch, this great man is till performing, I pray for God's guidance, protection, strength, wisdom, love, good health for you, your family ,your team and Ndi Igbo. |

lawani:[/s] My friend go and use the time you are wasting here and press demand for your people, Osun citizens are in penury, you are here comparing you backward state to Anambra state go and find your mate, they are not mate in all ramifications. |
lawani:You're just Johnbull how can you compare Osun to Anambra? Coco plantation and your tedious brain didn't remind you that Anambra produces rice, as a matter of facts Anambra have two rice processing mills, Coched farm, and Anambra rice processing mill Omor, cassava plant and maize etc, Big industries in Anambra SAB, Innoson, Orange drugs, Juhal, Cutix plc, Ibeto, Kutic, tommy tommy noodle, Chicason, Dozzy oil, Millennium, Sunocu, AZ Oil, Eastern Distilleries and beverages, Whiz, Tonnimas etc. and don't forget Anambra is 10th Oil producing state, Orient refinary is there. Big transport companies, Anambra host many international markets, Nollywood is third in movie production in the world and Onitsha producers and marketers contributed large percentage, these areas contribute alots in Anambra employment index. |

Mayor I believe that the clamour for offices is simply a power game by the elite, which has only a symbolic or emotional significance to the masses. Yes, for some reasons, people like to see someone that shares their interests or attributes in government—it has a feel good factor. But if occupation of such office has any personal benefits, it is largely to the occupant of the office and his friends and family. Our recent history has shown that it hardly matters where the occupant of a particular position comes from. I am not sure how the welfare of Ota/Ogun people changed because Obasanjo was president of Nigeria, or how the man in the street of Katsina or Otuoke/Bayelsa prospered more than others simply because their son became president |

superstar1:Yorubas and propaganda are like dick and.......can we have credible link for your illustration? I have sharched this is what I got REVENUE & INDUSTRY DATA < Back to all posts Oil Producing States April 15, 2013 Atlantic coast of Nigeria where the Niger River divides into numerous tributaries and along the coast from Benin River on the west to the Imo River on the east lies the oil rich Niger Delta. Home to some 30 million people from the Ijaws, Edos, Urhobos, Itsekiris, Yorubas, Igbos, Efiks and Kalabaris, the Niger delta occupies a land mass area that makes up 7.5% of the country. The traditional oil producing Niger delta states are Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and Cross Rivers. Abia, Ondo, Imo were later additions. Anambra State was recently added in 2012 by the president to make up the ten oil-producing states. The 80-20 States Akwa-Ibom is the highest oil producing state with eight local government areas in the state hosting production. Apart from crude oil, Akwa-Ibom has several natural mineral resources such as clay, limestone, salt, coal, natural gas, giver nitrate and glass sand. Rivers state is famous for its oil production, with vast reserves of crude oil and natural gas. It is also the chief oil-refining city in the country with two refineries in Port Harcourt. For several years Rivers State produced more oil than all the other states before being displaced from its position by Akwa-Ibom. The main occupation of its people is farming and fishing, with the state government currently running a robust agricultural policy, aimed at improving food production. Delta state ranks third to rivers and produces a major fraction of Nigeria’s crude oil. The nation’s second refinery as well as petrochemical plant is located in the state, at Warri. The people of the state are mostly farmers, with agricultural produce as; yam, fish crab, cocoa yam, rubber. Bayelsa state is home to Oloibiri in Ogbia local government were crude oil was first discovered in commercial quantities back in 1956. The first oil well was active for 20 years before it was shut down. The major occupation of Bayelsa people are fishing and farming. Nigeria’s crude oil types were named after the regions that produce them- Bonny Light is named after the prolific city of Bonny in Rivers state, home to the liquefied natural gas (LNG) on Bonny Island. Qua Iboe is from Akwa Ibom, Brass comes from Bayelsa, Forcados and Escravos from Delta. Revenue Contributions, Derivations and Community Funds There is a derivation principle governing the allocation of revenue to oil producing states. The 13% derivation was enshrined in the 1999 constitution, and came into effect in year 2000. After the sale of Nigeria’s crude oil, 13% is removed from the gross oil revenue exclusively for oil producing states. To understand how oil revenue is shared. Each oil producing state gets a share out of 13% revenue, calculated based on the production of oil from the individual states. For instance, Akwa-Ibom earns the largest revenue from derivation royalties because it is the highest oil producer out of the oil producing states. These sums are paid into the state accounts. If the presently debated Petroleum Industry Bill is passed into law, with the Host Community Fund allocation, communities described “petroleum producing areas” are set get a new 10% funding for socio-economic and infrastructure development. Dearth in the Midst of Plenty In human development terms, the delta fares somewhat better –poverty rates according to the NBS are said to be lower by half, compared to the rest of Nigeria. Contrary to these findings, over 75% of the people of the delta rate themselves as poor. Despite the oil riches of the delta region, the glaring paradox is that it remains grossly underdeveloped in terms of formal economy, infrastructure and public services. Militancy is just one of the symptoms of the deeply rooted problems in the delta regions. Environmental damage brought about by decades of exploitation; continuous gas flaring, oil spills, illegal refining, oil theft and lenient laws continue to worsen the situation. Multinational oil companies have contributed in part to these hazards. These companies have had to pay compensations to calm volatile reactions from communities and/or penalties albeit at lower rates than international standards. The agitations of different stakeholders in the Niger Delta have posed a number of pertinent questions around good governance and benefit capture for the oil producing communities. For instance, some communities have claimed that in the past 13 years, their governors have misappropriated over N7.282 trillion received as derivation funds, calling on NEITI and other agencies to intervene in this matter. Over the years, the Nigerian government has increased financial allocations to the area and established all sorts of agencies to oversee socio-economic development within the Niger Delta. Some of the agencies have included the likes of OMPADEC (1996) now defunct, NDDC(2000) and Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs (2008) South-South State Governors from oil producing states have also jointly ventured into establishing an organisation- the BRACED Commission to promote regional, economic co-operation and integration. To what extent though have these agencies and financial allocations addressed the problems of the delta? What value creation have they accomplished? What can be done to strengthen good governance and transparency around natural resources countrywide?

khalleb:Ode! what did you foresee? Poverty is growing wings in other southwestern states, that is why high rate of crimes are been reported in those states, and you are telling me you foresaw your brokos |
