---------IS THIS NOT A JOKING COUNTRY?---------------

Federal Government grants Amnesty to Bokoharam members but Capital Punishment for KIDNAPPERS.

Chad grants Death penalty for Terrorists,
Somalia approves Death sentence for terrorists
US passed Death sentence for Terrorists
Egypt signed Death penalty for Terrorists

BUT NIGERIA GRANTS AMNESTY TO TERRORISTS

The devil incarnates that had claimed innocent lives unjustly now receive pardon.

WHAT IS THE JUSTIFICATION?

Worldwide, 93 countries still have capital punishment in their lawbooks. Of the 54 African countries, 36 have the death penalty, and 11 of them currently execute people (Botswana, Chad [only for
terrorism], Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Libya, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan).
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_by_country

------------------------------------------------

In a disturbing new trend, countries around the world are using the death penalty to tackle terrorism and internal instability, according to a new report by Amnesty International. Over all, worldwide, approximately 500 more death sentences were recorded in 2014 compared with 2013, Amnesty reports, with the biggest jumps occurring in Egypt and Nigeria.

The Senate was on Monday told by the Director – General of the National Emergency Management Agency ( NEMA), Alhaji Sani Sidi that not less than 800 repentant Boko Haram militants are currently
undergoing vocational skills training in form of

A year of no achievement

TheSonOfMark:
[color=royalblue]
Freegift75, you forgot to beam the review spotlight on the rising level of insecurity.

Added to the dreaded terrorist sect called Boko Haram, now the Fulani herdsmen are causing mayhem.

The Niger-Delta militants whose destructive activities were seemingly curtailed by the Yar'Adua and Jonathan administrations respectively are back. What's more? There are several emerging factions whose pillaging tendencies have intensified.


The Bakassi boys vigilante group which caused fear and whose storied atrocious activities made the hearts of the citizenry do quintuple takes in quick succession are back. Politicians would sure exploit these emerging groups as usual and the masses would be worse off for it.


The question is; why has the CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER OF THE COUNTRY been dillydallying with these sensitive issues?!

ONE YEAR REVIEW OF THIS ADMINISTRATION

O-Compatriot,

A year in government without any tangible performance is enough to give any sane person reason to lose hope in this present administration.

From North to South, West to East the challenges of economic hardship in Nigeria for the past 365 days have inflicted quite number of Nigerians with serious MIGRANE.

Looking back to one year in office of APC government, I'm very much optimistic that the lack of sense of URGENCY of this administration will collapse their efforts. They do things as if they have a Journey of 16 years ahead of them. They are not concerned with what concerns common man.

Imagine how long it took before Minister could be appointed, as a result of "I & My Opinion". Reason also the drama that encapsulated the budget before finally passed and signed.

The fiscal year of the government begins Jan 1st to Dec 31st and we are in May, almost half of the fiscal year. MAY to DECEMBER what does this government have to offer in the rest of the months?

Most APC members are gesticulating all about, asserting 100% implementation. How realistic is this especially in the National Assembly where APC has the minority.

In the NASS, APC only has Majority on paper but in the MINDS, PDP owns the Senate. This will also militate against any progressive development of this administration. Go and take note!

However, We all know what it entails before a project could commence. Bidding, approval and so on. We are in may now, take LAGOS CALABAR RAIL for instance,
When will tender be opened?
When will the bidding commence?
When will NASS approve?

All these we know will take at least another two months before the commencement of any project. Same applicable to all other programmes and they are assuring us of 100% implementation.

If Government is deceiving us we are not deceiving ourselves. One thing I know is that all liars shall go to hell. Any project that commences now is not the brain work of Buhari but Jonathan.

Now Federal government is planning to remove subsidy. We know the effects on common man. Even as at today, a bag of rice is N15,000. Fuel is sold N120 per litre. Kerosine is sold N150 per litre. When are we going to experience the CHANGE promised Nigerians.


Personally to me MY HOPE IS DASHED in this administration who devotes %85 attentions more on fighting opposition in the name of corruption rather than reviving economy

May God Intervene

May God help Nigeria

www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/breaking-news-court-orders-sarakis-arrest/

By Ikechukwu Nnochiri
ABUJA - The Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, sitting
in Abuja has ordered the Inspector General of
Police, IGP, Mr. Solomon Arase and other relevant
security agencies in the country to arrest the Senate
President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.

In a ruling this afternoon, the tribunal headed by
Justice Danladi Umar issued a bench warrant
against Saraki following his refusal to appear in
court to face a 13-count criminal charge that was
preferred against him by the Federal Ministry of
Justice.

FG had through a deputy director in the office of
the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. M.S.
Hassan, asked the tribunal to order Saraki's arrest.
Saraki who was billed for arraignment this morning,
sent his team of lawyers to serve the tribunal with a
copy of the ruling of Justice Ahmed Mohammed of
the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court,
yesterday, which summoned the Ministry of Justice
to appear on Monday to show cause why the trial
should be allowed to proceed.

Equally summoned by the court were the Chairman
of the tribunal, Justice Danladi Umar and that of the
Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, Mr. Sam Saba, as well
as Mr. Hassan who signed the charge against Saraki.
Meanwhile, irked by Saraki's absence at the tribunal
for the commencement of his prosecution over
alleged false declaration of assets, the Ministry of
Justice prayed the Justice Umar-led panel to order
for his arrest, saying "he cannot sit in the comfort
of his chamber and object to his trial in absentia".

The prosecution further maintained that Justice
Mohammed lacked the powers to summon the CCT
and CCB chairmen, even as it accused Saraki of
engaging in "forum shopping" in a desperate bid to
scuttle his trial.

Meanwhile, Saraki has through his lawyer, begged
the tribunal to consider his position as the Senate
President and stay the execution of the arrest
warrant, saying he would be available for trial on
Monday.

His plea was refused by Justice Umar who
maintained that the accused person, having sworn
to protect the constitution, ought to have shown
respect to the tribunal by appearing before it today.

Buhari Ministers split, 10 likely to tender resignation
letters

By Amako Nneji
May 2, 2016 17:25

Reports emanating from the Presidency indicates that not less than 10 ministers are threatening to tender their resignation letters.

It was learnt that the mass resignation became necessary, because six months after President
Muhammadu Buhari swore in his ministers, most of them have still not settled down in Abuja.

The ministers are alleged to be groaning, because the N4 million approved by the president as their yearly accommodation allowance have not been able to rent any meaningful house in Abuja.

The N4 million, according to findings can only rent flats and not homes, and giving the need for security, those flats which have many other tenants in the building, are not secure or fit for purpose.

However, owing to the inadequacy of the funds approved for their accommodation by President Muhammadu Buhari, some ministers have been forced to stay in dingy hotels or squat with friends and relatives, it was gathered.

The ministers, THISDAY learnt, are concerned that it would be next to impossible for them to get accommodation befitting their offices with N4 million in Abuja and have repeatedly appealed to Buhari to review it upwards to N20 million per annum, but their request has been turned down.

This non-commitment of the President towards the ministers’ welfare is allegedly leading to mass resignation.

According to a source in the presidency, “In a bid to make their case, all the ministers who had formed a committee on the issue of their accommodation met with Buhari last week Wednesday, but he rejected their request, because his hands are tied by the Remuneration Act, even though he empathises with their situation.

However, the president was said to have declined at increasing the accommodation allowance to N20 million on the grounds that the administration could suffer a backlash from the public.

The source also explained that the N4 million approved by the president was in line with the current remuneration package for public office holders.

Under the current package, ministers are entitled to N4,052,800 as housing allowance per annum.

However, Aides of the ministers conversant with the problem, said that some compromise would have to be reached so that the ministers could find decent accommodation in Abuja.

He added, that the nature of their jobs also requires some ministers to host local and foreign dignitaries at their residences when they visit Abuja.

Another aide, who preferred not to be named, blamed the problem on the monetisation programme of the Olusegun Obasanjo administration, resulting in the sale of official residences built for ministers and other top
government functionaries in Abuja.

Although, sources refused to divulge the names
of the ministers who are considering resignation.

“They were asking for N20 million per annum for their accommodation. But prior to last week’s meeting, several other options had been proposed, including buying an estate or the FCDA building one,
but these were considered expensive and dropped.

“The final option was the request for N20 million per annum, because some ministers are squatting in Abuja and the situation is impacting on their jobs.”

“We hope there will be a meeting point over what the president has approved for the ministers and the special advisers who are on the same level, as the N4 million is not realistic at all.

“Some of these public office holders were past governors and chief executives in private concerns before they were appointed, and it will be unfair to
downgrade their living standards,” one ministerial aide stated.

“By virtue of their office, some ministers such as those in charge of foreign affairs, budget and national planning, finance, trade and investment, health, and
education, among others, often host foreign dignitaries from missions, embassies and international or multilateral donor agencies.

Accordingly, they would need befitting accommodation.

“It would not be in our interest for such dignitaries to be hosted in tiny flats or I far flung suburbs outside the metropolis, which is what the N4 million can afford at the moment. Besides, there might also be
security concerns about allowing ministers to live in such suburbs or even hosting foreign dignitaries there.

“Right now, the absence of accommodation also means that many of them have not been able to relocate their families and have been shuttling on a
regular basis to cater to the home front.

Realistically, that will be a distraction that the administration could do without,” the aide said.

“In the past, former ministers lived in multi purpose-built spacious mansions in Maitama, the Ministers’ Hill, also in Maitama, and the Ministers’ Quarters in
Mabushi, which were all within the Abuja metropolis,” he said.

Lalasticlala, pls can you do this thread a favour to let Nigerians air their views

FP...

allthingsgood:
Which govt?? My state is not owing a dime! Tomorrow some people will still find a way to blame buhari

No one accuses Buhari for that

Monthly salaries: Gov's calousness to Civil servants

Pls I want to make my submission very concise.

There is no attitude that is more suicidal to employing a person and refuses to pay the wages, not even a month but to the extent of five months.

It's reported that 27 states in Nigeria are unable to pay workers salaries. How realistic is it?

Statistics reveal that Nigeria State Governors receive their monthly allocations unfailingly from the Federal Government and yet they could not even pay half of the salaries.

Is construction of roads and bridges more relevant than human lives?

The shameful part of it is that, these Governors never a month do without claiming their monthly
Security votes ranging from N500M to N800M, which is unaccounted for. This is more important to them than workers wages.

This is calousness! Some same Governors cherish chartering aircraft for irrelevant events and trips, all at the expense of workers wages. Some trip round the world claiming they are looking for investors, while meeting girlfriends all around the globe.

Imagine some Northern Govs could pay workers salary while some Southern Gov even with more allocations and IGR, falling foul. Here you see them on a trip with over 15 convoys.

Imagine OYO owing 5months, Benue 5months, even Ekiti not left behind. Now I would this same states be able to pay N56,000 as minimum wages.

To me this Governors are wicked. With regular monthly allocation and IGR yet, not even half salary could be paid.

How many months is your state owing?

This we need to call a spade a spade, they are selfish, wicked, insane and calous

While I come with this is that, Yesterday a civil servant lost her life as a result of lack of money to pay hospital bills. Both husband and wife were being owed 5months salaries.

There is God OOOOOOO

www.thetrentonline.com/fg-moves-stop-opening-prayers-events/

Strong indications have emerged of the Federal
Government’s move to stop the saying of opening prayers at events across the nation and replace it with reciting the second stanza of the National Anthem.

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) led by
the newly appointed acting director general,
Ngozi Ekeoba announced the move on microblogging website, Twitter on Thursday,
March 24, 2016.

The agency wrote: “The 2nd stanza of Nigeria National Anthem is being promoted by the NOA as opening prayer at events.”

Although a handful of Nigerians kicked against
the move but the agency insisted that it was a
great step towards promoting the National
Anthem.

A source privy to the matter disclosed that the
agency rule is yet to be enforced as the agency is still consulting with relevant stakeholders on the issue.

“The new DG has been promoting it since she came on board, but she is also careful not to receive a backlash for the idea given the very religious nature of Nigerians,” the source said.

“So at the moment it is not been enforced but they are pushing the idea to many people, agencies, government departments and parastatals and many are okay with the idea.

The feedback so far has been positive.”

Nigerians, do you support the motion?---------------------------

Change is materialising--__

www.saharareporters.com/2016/05/01/reconciling-accounts-ex-excellency-ibrahim-badamosi-babangida-prepares-meet-his-maker

In a life filled with brutality and deception,
Shaka killed his half-brother in order to
become king. In the fullness of time, he
was also similarly killed by his half-
brothers to bring to an end the bloodiest
era in the history of his people.

As king and warrior, Shaka was so ruthless
he killed more of his own people than
others did. A man who seemed to love
the smell of blood, he killed men and
women and children, sometimes in the
most casual and cruel of ways.

For instance, he killed men who were
short because he thought they would be a
liability in battle. Declaring a year-long
mourning at his mother’s passing, he
killed during that period any woman who
was found to be pregnant, and for good
measure, her husband. He even executed
any cows which gave birth, so their calves
could experience the pain of being
without a mother.

In 1985, soon after General Ibrahim
Bademosi Babangida (IBB) became
Nigeria’s leader, I was in a newspaper
delegation which interviewed him in
Lagos. At the end of the fairly routine
visit, someone asked him who his military
hero was.

Replied the General: “Shaka Zulu!”
That was 31 years ago, but I still
remember how quickly my blood froze.
The interview was a lie, I thought,
reflecting on how different it could have
been had that final question been much
earlier.

Nonetheless, you do not write off a man
simply because he loves someone you
loathe. I rationalized that the Nigeria
leader could accomplish some of the
things Shaka did, using methods that were
humane and elevating.

Babangida was in power for eight years,
during which he positioned and advertised
himself as a historic figure. He turned out
to be one, but not in the sense he wants
the world to believe. Today, he is
remembered for two things.

The first is that in 1993, when all of his
talk would have produced a new,
democratically-elected president in what
was Nigeria’s best election up until then,
he summarily nullified the process. By
that action, he sent Nigeria down a path
from which it has yet to recover,
remorselessly placing himself first. Shaka.
IBB was no stranger to shooting his own
friends. During his reign, for instance, he
sent to the firing squad General Mamman
Vatsa; while the election he nullified was
won by Moshood Abiola. Those were two
men he dined and drank with: one was
shot in the front, the other, in the back.
Shaka.

The second thing IBB is best remembered
for is that his was by far the most corrupt
government in Nigeria’s history. He
became the gold standard if there is such
a thing, of corruption in governance. It
was so bad under him that the culture of
“settlement” was established.

Under IBB’s so-called National Economic
and Reconstruction Fund, round-tripping
was the order of the day: you obtained a
huge “loan” with which you could buy
foreign exchange at the cheap official
rate, which you sold for an immense profit
on the black market. [You could then pay
off your loan, if you wished, the same
day!]
IBB himself was reputed to have amassed
a lot of wealth. In 2005, the New York
Daily News put him on a short list of
former world leaders who stole billions of
dollars but had yet to be brought to
justice.

Despite all of that, and reflecting the
emptiness of our national values, he was
rewarded with the Grand Commander of
the Federal Republic award, the second
time by the government of Olusegun
Obasanjo in 2005.

The irony is that in 1994, one year after
Babangida scampered out of office,
Obasanjo could see him very well,
describing him during a conference in the
following words, among others: “…After
successfully undoing his military
colleagues with the acquiescence of the
non-military, General Babangida came
out in his true colours, demonstrating
again and again that he is a master of
intrigues, mismanagement, corruption,
manipulation, deceit, settlement, cover-up
and self-promotion at the expense of
almost everybody else and everything
else…Babangida is the main architect of
the state in which (Nigeria) finds itself
today…”

Nonetheless, with the Obasanjo Years
winding down, and with no apologies for
the grand sabotage of his leadership as a
military leader, IBB declared he would be
president again in 2007. His ‘Vision 2007’
National Secretary, Professor Abdullai
Michael, quoted IBB as telling him: “Go
[to] work. We shall occupy Aso Rock in
2007. All my past mistakes I have slept
over them and will correct them in 2007.”
Mercifully, IBB discovered in good time he
did not stand a chance and gave up that
goose chase. He has maintained a less
boisterous profile since then, his wife
dying in the United States a few years ago.
Here we are in 2016, and IBB, in poor
health, was last week widely rumored to
have died. He gathered a group of
reporters at his so-called Hilltop Mansion
last weekend to dispel those rumors.

He told them: “It doesn't shock me,
neither does it bother me because I know
I must go and meet God my Creator one
day…”
Knowing he would be quoted, he couldn’t
resist the temptation to attempt one more
of the dribbles that had him nicknamed
“Maradona” after the Argentine star. "I
strongly believe in this country, which is
further demonstrated by the people of
this great nation because they are very
industrious people, hardworking. This
gives me hope for Nigeria.”

It is these kinds of platitudes that have
made Nigeria the laughing stock she is.
IBB’s “optimism” is 30 years late; he
should have invested it in the country
when he had charge of her. If a Nigerian
leader believes his people to be
industrious and hardworking, that is his
clue to respect them, and to grant the
fertilizers they need to bloom.

Instead, we often have leaders who
flourish in betrayal. That is why Nigeria
lacks statesmen.

Go to any country and you will find
Nigerians scrambling for the crumbs of
opportunities their homeland has denied
them. Go anywhere in the country and
you meet people of great capacity who
have been diminished by compromising
leadership.

That includes you, IBB, perhaps
particularly you. By appearing to be
reconciling your account with God,
however, perhaps you now understand
how ephemeral power and wealth are
when selfishly acquired and dubiously
deployed.

But all is not lost. If you truly believe in
Nigeria, do something unprecedented and
set an example for other former leaders.
Give back half your wealth. Return what
is not yours and encourage those who
acquired so much under you to do the
same. Build schools all over the North to
enhance education. Build a first class
hospital for women in every state in
honour of your wife. Endow a chair in
every public university for the best
graduating students.

Every culture, every religion, and every
age celebrate penance. When you do go,
General, leave Nigerians with strong
memories of a truly contrite leader.

Not Shaka Zulu.

Listen, this is not a made up story. It has been
confirmed by several people who attended the birthday party of billionaire businessman Mike Adenuga which took place on Friday 29th of April at his home in Banana Island.

It was an intimate family setting of about 90 people, including senior members of Glo and Con Oil. The birthday party was hosted by Basketmouth. Lagbaja, Seyi Law, Gordons, Helen Paul, Bovi, God Bless Band and Flavour all performed. Above is a personal
appreciation message from the celebrant himself to comedian Seyi Law for giving a good performance. Seyi Law shared it on his instgaram page.

According to my sources, Mike Adenuga was so excited at his party that he did something he rarely does, he danced. And then he sprayed nothing less than N30million to performers and guests on the dance floor. He sprayed "God Bless Band" N2million & sprayed several bundles of $100,000 per person. Every single person left the occasion with atleast N100,000
