"Excellencies, heads of state and government, secretary-general of the United Nations, president of the 70th UNGA [United Nations General Assembly], distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen: This summit provides a unique opportunity for us to work together to address climate change and its impacts, which is an undeniable issue of concern to the international community. The increase in global warming is an indication that we face a crisis of global proportions.

Excellencies, the world is experiencing new and unusual climate variability due to increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Even though Africa contributes very little to global warming, the socio-economic consequences of climate change spare no nation. The burden is just as overwhelming for developing countries.

In Nigeria, we have seen extreme weather variations, rising sea levels, encroaching desertification, excessive rainfall, erosion and floods, land degradation – all of which threaten the ecosystem. These developments have devastating human costs and are affecting food security, livelihoods and the very survival of our people.

To address these negative effects, we have developed a national policy to guide Nigeria's response to climate change. Our response is broadly based on the twin strategy of mitigation and adaptation.

As a party to the climate change convention and its protocol, Nigeria is strongly committed to the adoption of a legally binding universal agreement to mitigate climate change. We commend the countries that have announced their intended nationally determined contributions [INDC] ahead of the October 2015 deadline. These contributions will go a long way in reducing greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. The INDCs will serve as a yardstick for measuring the commitment of parties to the Framework Convention.

In addition we must prioritize the means of implementing the INDCs, in terms of finance, technology and capacity building, especially in supporting developing countries, including those in Africa. This is fundamental to ensuring that collective action to combat climate change is indeed, collaborative and effective in the long run.

As we approach Paris, the Nigerian position which reflects the African consensus, is that a legally binding universal instrument will be beneficial to all state parties. Nigeria will continue to champion the core principles and goals of the new sustainable development agenda and hopes that the next conference of parties will eventually become a global milestone to combat and cushion the dire impacts of climate change.

The Paris agreement should be rules-based, predictable, robust to adequately address climate change vulnerabilities. It is essential that the least developing countries and small island developing states receive the institutional capacity support for mitigation, adaptation, gender and climate change linkages towards building a sustainable environment.

Collective action remains the only viable option to addressing the challenges of global warming and the ever growing impact of climate change.

Excellencies, we have no other choice but to protect our environment for the benefit of the present and future generations. Collectively, we have to work towards achieving this all important objective. I thank you."

All from so called poor countries

We have issues of such At home.it might be use against him on international politicking


Below is part of the address to UN

Mr. President,
27. As we engage in these annual debates, we
need remind ourselves of the principles that
led to the founding of the United Nations.
Among those are peaceful coexistence and self-
determination of peoples. In this context, Mr.
President, the unresolved question of self-
determination for the Palestinian people and
those of Western Sahara, both nations having
been adjusted by the United Nations as
qualifying for this inalienable right must now
be assured and fulfilled without any further
delay or obstacle.
28. The international community has come to
pin its hopes on resolving the Palestinian issue
through the two – states solution which
recognises the legitimate right of each state to
exist in peace and security. The world has no
more excuses or reasons to delay the
implementation of the long list of Security
Council resolutions on this question. Neither do
we have the moral right to deny any people
their freedom or condemn them indefinitely to
occupation and blockade
Mr. President, delegates of member countries,

Buhari shot himself in the leg by dabbling in Palestinian and Israel issue.

This is a very highly sensitive international politicking

Buhari is Not addressing UN rather reading to UN

There are wide difference between the two.

ABUJA—Strong indications emerged, yesterday, that the Senate will receive the ministerial list from President Muhammadu Buhari tomorrow or Wednesday.

Ahead of the submission of the Ministerial list by President Buhari, National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has summoned an emergency meeting of the National Working Committee, NWC, for today.

According to a source, besides discussing the proposed ministerial list, the party leadership will brainstorm on the multiple crises rocking it.

Some of the issues to be discussed include the management of the party’s success, the power rift between the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, among others.

The source noted that the crises in APC, especially the management of the party’s success at the March 28 presidential and National Assembly and the April 11 governorship elections was becoming a big headache for members, just as members are worried that the crisis was affecting the smooth running of governance with Nigerians being at the receiving ends.

Atiku, Tinubu, Akande


Speaking with journalists yesterday, a top member of the party’s NWC noted that apart from the crisis, the meeting will also dwell on the ministerial list that has put the party against President Buhari, who seems not to be interested in consulting officials of the party in the appointment of the members of the Federal Executive Council, FEC, and the power rift between the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, former governor of Osun State, Bisi Akande and the national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu.

According to the NWC member, the crisis between the chieftains of APC has stalled the inauguration of the party’s Board of Trustees, BoT, as well as holding of the National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting.

Agenda

Listed for discussion at today’s meeting, the source said, would be the power rift between Osinbajo and el-Rufai, who is perceived as the ‘unofficial Vice President’.

It was gathered that el–Rufai made an uncomplimentary remark on the Vice President, to which Osinbajo was said to have protested and eventually walked out of the said meeting in the presence of President Buhari.

It was also gathered that prior to his storming out of the meeting, the angered Osinbajo told Buhari: “I am an elected Vice President and would not sit down here and allow a governor to insult me.”

According to the NWC member, the leadership of APC was not comfortable with this development and was determined not to sit down and watch the Vice President and being treated as a puppet.

… of Tinubu, Saraki

Also to be discussed at the meeting is the seeming feud between APC national leader and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki.

The chieftain said: “Why must there be preferential treatment and separate rules? Whereas, Tinubu was acquitted for non- compliance with section 3 (D), the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, is insisting on Dr. Abubakar Saraki standing trial for an issue that the former Lagos State governor was acquitted and the suit struck out.”

Also to be discussed is the media war between Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State and the former governor of Bayelsa state, Timi Sylva.

A plane was about to crash and there were only four parachutes in the plane. Meanwhile there were five people in it. The first person was Cristiano Ronaldo and he said: I'm the best footballer, I cant die now". So he took one parachute and left. The second who was Aliko Dangote said

"I'm the richest man in Africa and I'm too young to die". So he took the second parachute and left. The third was Gen Buhari and he said: " I'm the smartest in the world so I can't die now, my people still need me". So he took one and left. Then it was left with Pope Francis and a little

school girl. The Pope said to the little girl " take the last one, I'll sacrifice my life for you". The little girl replied no need for that "there are two parachutes left. The Pope asked her: "how come?" The little girl replied: "Buhari took my school bag" thinking it was a parachute.

It’s been decades since Nigeria’s southeast tried to secede, renaming itself Biafra and sparking a civil war that left nearly 1 million people dead. Biafra is long gone, but some in the southeast are still agitating for separation.

Since independence in 1960, Nigeria has seen periodic conflicts between the country’s many ethnic groups. Perhaps none were as wrenching as the civil war, which started in 1967 when the country’s southeast, which is dominated by the Igbo people, seceded.

Biafra didn’t make it to its third birthday. But 45 years after it was reabsorbed into Nigeria, its name lives on among pressure groups, who say they haven’t benefited as citizens of Nigeria.

Biafra supporters

“The government of Nigeria, which is always run by the Hausa-Fulanis or the Yorubas, are always using government policies against our people,” said Uchenna Madu, the media coordinator of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra (MASSOB), referring to two of the other major ethnic groups in Nigeria.

The continued agitation by supporters of Biafra in the southeast has unnerved Nigerian authorities. On Tuesday, the police announced they had arrested 22 people affiliated with MASSOB and another pro-Biafra group for inciting violence.

Ronney Onwuka, a community leader in the town of Oba in the southeastern Anambra state, said despite the fact that President Muhammadu Buhari recently appointed an Igbo to head the state oil company, the agitation for Biafra stems from a feeling the federal government doesn’t care about the southeast or the Igbo people.

“If we can be treated like this, why not we be alone? I call what you see as a result of marginalization,” said Onwuka.

With the Biafran war of the 1960s leaving a huge death toll, however, and much of the southeast ravaged, the question remains: How far are Biafra supporters willing to go for independence?

Nigeria and propaganda about stopping radio Biafra

The radio has been on...

The United States will soon become energy independent, available date shows. With the technological breakthroughs of shale gas and tight oil, the US has started an energy revolution:

US crude oil production has increased by 50% since 2008. With that increase, as well as more efficient cars, oil imports have come down from their high of 60% in 2005 to 35% today—as low as in 1973.

With domestic production and gasoline mileage still increasing, imports will continue to decrease. It’s also impressive that US natural gas production has increased by nearly 33% since 2005, and shale gas has gone from 2% of output in 2000 to 44% today.

As of 2013, the United States is the world’s second largest producer of crude oil, after Saudi Arabia, and second largest exporter of refined products, after Russia.

According to BP Plc’s Statistical Review of World Energy, the US has surpassed Russia as the biggest oil and natural-gas producer in 2014. While looking at total energy, the US was over 70% self-sufficient in 2008. In May 2011, the US became a net exporter of refined petroleum products.

IMPLICATIONS

United States government stopped oil imports from Nigeria since July 2014. White House Director of the US National Economic Council, Mr. Jeff Zients, said the cessation of oil imports from Nigeria had to do with the significant rise in US oil production.







According to the White House Economic Council Director, "across the last several years, US oil production has ramped up significantly by more than 50 percent to now over eight and a half million barrels per day."

He explained that such a high turn up in local US oil production "has now dramatically reduced our dependency on imports," Zients noted, adding that "in fact, we now produce more here than we import."

The White House official stated that the development is consistent with President Barack Obama's energy strategy, which has changed "quite a bit over the last few years as we are much less dependent on oil imports."

That strategy has not only left Nigeria in the lurch, but has generally also driven down the international market price of oil to a ridiculous $50 range. Oil price, which soared around $100 not long ago has gone down drastically.



Oil prices are still under $50 a barrel due to a glut in production and OPEC’s—the cartel of oil-producing countries—price war. Some say that the OPEC is winning: U.S. energy firms have been making cut-backs this summer due to losses from the low prices. It’s good news for U.S. consumers though: Labor Day gas prices are expected to be the lowest in 11 years.

But lower oil prices are almost definitely bad news for the governments whose budgets are dependent on them being high: Saudi Arabia, ostensibly the leader of OPEC, is facing huge budget deficits this year due to decreased oil prices. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the deficit will be about $140 billion.

OPEC nations such as Nigeria and Algeria are suffering more than Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries the drop in oil prices because they built smaller foreign-exchange reserves. Nigeria has responded to the oil rout by cutting expenditures and with revenue-raising measures including a tax on luxury items such as yachts. Longer term, the government seeks to diversify the economy “beyond oil.”

Canada’s economy has also made headlines as low crude oil prices meant that the Canuck GDP shrunk for first half of 2015—putting the country in a modest recession on the eve of an election.

Major oil-producing countries—that list includes Venezuela, Libya, Russia, Qatar, and Iraq—are all taking a hit. Each of these countries have a different threshold for how low prices can go before their budget goes into deficit territory, but according to calculations by the Wall Street Journal and the IMF—only Kuwait can break even at the current prices. (In Deutsche Bank’s estimates, no one survives.)

For now, it’s still unclear when the oil price war will end—some analysts are expecting low oil prices to last for a while. Perhaps what’s even more unclear is who will come out on top at the end of it.

Buhari unrepentant dictator moved against Tompolo order EFCC to freeze his Account

Details coming...

EFCC Moves against Tompolo and Former NIMASA DG

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has frozen the accounts of two companies reportedly owned by the ex-Niger Delta militant leader, Chief Government Ekpompolo, otherwise known as Tompolo.

The companies, named Mieka Divers Limited and Global West Vessels Limited, are allegedly linked with fraudulent activity in the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) under its ex-director general, Dr. Patrick Akpobolokemi, The Nation reports.

The head of the media unit of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, did not confirm any details, but said that investigations are ongoing as regards Akpobolokemi’s tenure at NIMASA.

He said: “I can’t confirm that to you immediately, but what I know is that the matter has been under investigation.”

The report revealed that a number of private bank accounts, allegedly linked to Akpobolokemi, had also been frozen on the orders of the EFCC.

A source said freezing the bank accounts was aimed at checking the illegal movement of large sums of foreign and local currency across the nation’s borders.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, further stated that there was ongoing security surveillance on a number of private and corporate accounts suspected of being linked to slush funds.

Money said to be a part payment for construction work on Maritime University and NIMASA
Techincal College in Delta state, under a N30 billion contract agreed by the former administration of the agency, is reportedly trapped at a Yenagoa, Bayelsa state, branch of an old generation bank.

The source said the move by the EFCC was to verify and keep a close watch on the outflow of funds from the accounts, with a view to ensuring that such funds were used for the projects they were meant for.

The source said: “For instance, just one individual got about N13 billion from a single transaction with NIMASA. The same individual also collected about $57 million from similar deals from the agency without proper documentation.

“No serious administration would attempt to sweep this type of thing under the carpet. So there must be proper explanations, bearing in mind the security implications of movement of such large sums within the system.”

In a nutshell , Afonja was a Yoruba traitor who helped to destroy the Oyo empire and handed over Ilorin to the Fulani jihadists in exchange for a promise of cooperation to install him as the Yoruba leader. He was promptly kicked out by the Fulanis, who till today, rule Ilorin which is 98% Yoruba. That is why you have Olusola Saraki, Bukola Saraki, and Agboola Gambari , Fulanis with fake Yoruba names and outlook, lording it over these "most educated" of Nigerians , right in their own land and with their acquiescence. Yet today, in order to spite their Igbo rivals who they helped the Alimi tendency to defeat in Biafra, they shout to the rooftops that the Yoruba race had never been defeated!!
As for Aalafin Aole, after being sentenced to commit ritual suicide by the Oyo Mesi( the Yoruba Parliament), he cursed the Yoruba race and predicted that they will be carried to the four corners of the earth as slaves and that their former slaves would rule over them. He fired four arrows to all the four corners of the compass. That is perhaps why at least 80% of the black slave diaspora, from Brazil to the Caribbean, to Cuba and the USA is of the ethnic Yoruba stock, a really sad situation, which is unfortunately celebrated by some "educated" Yoruba people as a sign of Yoruba dispersal all over the world.
You have a Yoruba name, so please read the book, "A History of Nigeria" by my mentor, the late Professor F. Ade Ajayi and also the seminal work "The Black Mans Dilemma " by Areoye Oyebola and you will learn that the rain started beating the Yorubas and Nigeria from a long time ago and has not ceased after several centuries.

Suspension of domicile account on the list

Anybody can produce a billboard and display. We know nothing about it.”

With those words, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed on Tuesday disowned a billboard in the social media purporting to prove that the governing party authorized two documents in which the then Presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari allegedly promised to achieve certain milestones in his first 100 days in office.

President Buhari’s spokespersons, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, as well as Alhaji Mohammed, have separately disowned the documents.

The billboard, which bears large portraits of the then candidate Buhari and his running mate, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, and three bold faces of pupils in school uniforms, has a banner that reads in capital letters: “ONE MEAL A DAY.”

The provision of one meal daily to pupils in public schools is one of the 100-day campaign promises of the documents, entitled: “My Covenant With Nigerians” and “One Hundred Things Buhari Will Do In 100 Days.”

Speaking with Daily Times on Monday night, however, Alhaji Mohammed said that the billboard could have emanated from any source.

He maintained that his party did not authorize both the document and the billboard.

The spot where the billboard was displayed during the campaign was not clear at press time.

Mohammed said: “The President never said he would do any specific thing within the first 100 days. Anybody can say whatever they like, we remain focused.”

The spokesman of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, told Daily Times that his party wished to leave reaction to the development to Nigerians.

He said: “We believe that the APC made those promises when they are now denying. Let the Nigerian people be the judge.”...
