Who is talking about PDP returning to the south west, is Aregbe the only ACN Gov in the SW.
1. Why will he demolish schools and re-build them, why can't he renovate them, if he must demolish them must he rename them and why is 168 out of 170 of those schools christian mission schools.
2. Why must every student in all public primary and secondary schools wear the same uniform and why will it have a space for hijab on it when all students are not muslims.
3. Not only Osun state has a flag and a coat of arm, but why will he remove the national flag and coat of arm from all public places and offices replacing them with the state's own.
4. The 1st democratic Gov of Osun state Isiaka Adeleke is a muslim and nobody accuses him of extremism, ACN national chairman Bisi Akande is a muslim, who accuses him of extremism throughout his tenure, Olagunsoye Oyinlola is a christian who accuses him of trying to christianize the state, Fasola & Ajimobi are muslims also, so they are just accusing this man because they want PDP back in SW.
5. In the other thread you said Tawun activities are irrelevant, I asked you few questions there but you refused to answer me.
One reason why Nigeria is not moving forward has been displayed greatly on this forum i.e POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS AND ETHNIC sentiments.

My brother, ACN is doing everything to divert attention from the issues raised.
Did Aregbesola visit the Magreb North Africa recently? What was his mission?
Has Aregbesola sent members of the Tawun to Cuba for training? Simple questions.
ACN should stop politicicing security issues with these useless videos.
We've had enough from BOKO HARAM

mcfestgee: Demdem and Dayokanu are most stupid and idiotic, reterded follows I have
I have seen on Naira. You guys are demented fellows to be insulting
your president. Animals.

My brother forget those dumbhead guys. I no longer read their posts.
I even suspect one id.iot is behind those two user-IDs.

The courts (not Amosun) should decide if the
land was acquired illegally or not.

Amosun should stop flexing muscles unnecessarily.

Seun:
They raised enough tax to pay for the entire budget last year, with the potential for more, so why borrow?

@Seun
No, you are wrong. The tax reforms actually crashed the tax.
My organisation started implimenting the new tax regime last
month and my tax crashed by half.

scribble:
the OP must be silly or Daily Trust has some illiterate journalists, the FG is borrowing not for construction of pipelines. Jeez go to Thisdaylive.com, Punchng.com, Businessnews.com.ng etc

the 7.9 billion US is for projects in the pipeline, its a figure of speech, now taken to mean another thing entirely and here is OP in conjunction with Dailytrust.com.ng misinforming thousands of Nigerians unlucky enough to visit their site or this front page article,

Daily Trust office is somewhere around Utako District in Abuja Metropolis
opposite ABC transport Plc. The kind of Almajiri Aboki journalists you
meet there will discourage you from taking that newspaper serious.

There is nothing wrong in borrowing if the loan is invested.

Besides, so we are owing only $5b at the moment? Why did subsidy protesters make it look
as if our external debt profile had risen in excess of maximum limits?

Secondly, why is Daily Trust newspaper sounding it in our ears that the loan is
from Islamic Development bank? afterall, only $600 million out of the total $7.9 billion
loan sum is to be sourced from the so-called Islamic Dev Bank. I suspect this pro-muslim north newspaper.

So, GEJ is working?

gregg2:
ACN politicises everything in this country. Besides, lack of policy continuation
will kill us. It is very clear that this reversal is political, just because these tertiary
institutions were set up by Gbenga Daniel.

If I may ask, why can't the institutions be funded sufficiently?
The former governor identified education as one area of strenght of Ogun
state and decided to build on that.Education is big business around the world.
Ask Britain, Canada or even our neighbour Ghana what it rakes in from Education.
Why can't Amosun build on this to make Ogun the Education hub of Nigeria and even Africa.

My brother, Amosun is a big disgrace.

Yes Yes and Yes

Yes,
if he eventually performs well.

The guy has spent only 8 months out of
40 months - enough time to execute his trnsformation agenda.

Boko Haram is lying. That guy is their spokesman.
Anybody can be Abu Qaqa just like Jomo Gbomo.

gregg2:
ACN is not better than PDP.
By the way, is it not the same disgruntled PDP members that decamped to ACN?
Even Temipre Sylva who lost PDP nomination is being courted by ACN to join their fold.

Besides, ACN had an opportunity to show Nigerians how to
conduct a free and fair election in Lagos state last year but they chose to
make GEJ a hero by conducting the worst elections in the nations history

You hit the nail on the head, Gregg2.

rabzy01:
Let me ask please. Are we still under military dictatoship? I think we are under GEJ autocracy. So all these dictators calling for banning of some media outfits should please rewind their lives to the 70's or 80's.
Why not take them to court if you think they are contravening any law or report them to NUJ if you think they are not professional enough.
NO more dictatorship in Naija. Freedom of expression,
Freedom of the press,
Freedom of information,
If you dont like it go hell.

All we ask for from media outfits is political/ethnic/religious neutrality, objectivity and balanced reportage,
not some parochial, deceptive junks to pull down Mr. A and project Mr. B

olawalebab:
I know the interest the OP represents.

I don't represent any interest in particular.
These organisations lack objectivity and balanced
reportage that should be the hallmark of journalism.

I read/listen to their news anyway, but I allow it enter the left ear and goes out
immediately through the right ear until I confirm from other sources.

I suggest licences of the following media
organisations be withdrawn for deliberate
misinformation, outright lies and mischief-making.

1) Sahara Reporters,
2) The Nation Newspaper,
3) TVC, Lagos
4) The Nation Magazine,
5) Radio Continental (Lagos)
6) Daily Trust Newspaper

Let him first take up arms against Boko Haram.
Talk Talk Talk Talk is cheap.

Poster is a bastard.

Beaf:
And you think the ridiculous story is real?
No fall my hand abeg!
What sort of person would close down an avenue he is able to make stupendous amounts from? Not stopping there, but calling thunder and lightnening on the fraudsters?

By the way, you need to pray for your keyboard o! E be like say okija pipo do wound am.

My dear some nairalanders think with their anus.
They swallow every piece of junk hook, line and sinker.

I still think it was wise to remove fuel subsidy.
We are loosing too much to this motherphukers.

Akpako master has spoken

Why I shunned Fuel Subsidy protest -Terry G

By OPEOLUWANI AKINTAYO
At a time when fellow artistes were all out to protest against the removal of Fuel Subsidy by the Jonathan

adminstration, House of Ginger master, Terry G never stepped a foot at the protests.

Terry G gave reasons why he didn’t show up at the protest in an interview he recently granted an online magazine, saying he didn’t see any reason to be at the protests.

According to Terry, the protest was a waste of time because instead of artistes protesting against the removal of Subsidy, the protest became a means to perform their songs.

…I don’t get it, I saw artistes performing their songs and forgetting what the protests really meant. What’s the point in that? I’m not looking for that kind of attention, he commented.

Instead of being at the protests, Terry G took out time to share already packed food prepared by his mother, to hungry street children and area boys, claiming that they needed his help more than his presence at the protests.

My people have found it hard to eat so I just brought some food for the hungry kids, he said.


-Vanguard Newspaper of Jan 25, 2012

eGuerrilla:
Not a day too soon.
Off to do some research on Abubakar.

Below is what I gathered about him.

[b]The Justice Niki Tobi panel on the Jos 2001 crisis has recommended the retirement of Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), Zone 5, Muhammed Abubakar.

Abubakar was Plateau State Commissioner of Police during the ciris.

The panel was constituted by former Governor Joshua Dariye to look into the September 7, 2001 crisis. Since it concluded its sitting, its report was not made public until yesterday.

In a White Paper released in Jos, the state capital yesterday, the panel suggested that Abubakar should be dismissed if he refuses to retire.

The panel said: "Religious fanatics should not be posted to head state police commands. The commission recommends that for his ignoble role during the September 2001 crisis which resulted in the loss of lives, the former Commissioner of Police, Plateau State Command, Alhaji M.D. Abubakar, be advised to retire from the Nigeria Police Force and in the event of his refusal to do so, he should be dismissed from the service."

It recommended that the Hausa/Fulani should be encouraged to discuss with other communities and "accept the ownership of Jos by the Ajizere, Anaguta and Berom".

"Anything short of that will not make for peace", the panel added.

It noted: "The non-implementation by government of the report of previous commissions of enquiries and in particular the report of the commission of enquiry into the riots of April 12, 1994 in Jos metropolis (the main features of which are very similar to the September 2001 civil disturbances) is a sure recipe for a repeat performance of such disturbances".

The government also released a White Paper on the Justice Aribiton Fibersima panel on the Jos 1994 crisis. The panel investigated the April 1994 Jos crisis.

Its report said: "There was strong and convincing evidence before the commission that: on April 11, 1994, just a day before the fateful day, Alhaji Yaya Aga Abubakar, the President of Jasawa Development Association, in the company of Alhaji Aminu Mato’s younger brother, Sanusi Mato, held a meeting at Masallaci Juma at Jos with the Jasawa community during which they resolved to carry out a demonstration the following day.

"So, Yaya Abubakar and Sanusi Mato were directly connected with riots. They were the leaders of the insurrection that brought disaster and shame to Jos metropolis, to Plateau State and to Nigeria, that brought death and destruction of lives and properties".

"A recurrent friction for many years between the Berom, Anaguta and Afizere on the one hand and the Hausa/Fulani tribe on the other hand is the remote cause of the riots. Each part of lays claim to Jos."

The report urged the government "to spread its intelligence gathering network far and wide to cover all individuals and organisations (such as religious, cultural, and social organisations) that could be potentially dangerous to peace and order."[/b]

The presidential fleet is not 8.
Besides, there is no kobo provided for purchase of Aircraft for president
in 2012 budget. This story can't be true. The rate at which such
unsubstatiated and mischievious rumours make the homepage
is also a suspect.

There are lots and lots of misinformation aimed at discrediting GEJ.

Fashola and his bunch of commissioners do not understand English?
I hate it when an arm of government that should be responsible decides
to politicise every issue under the sun.

Where in this press release from Defence Headquaters did the army claim
that Lagos state government invited them. I have posted the press release again for everybody to read.

in The statement reads: “[b]The attention of the Defence Headquarters has been drawn to the unsubstantiated claims by a section of the public alleging that the Federal Government ordered the deployment of troops Lagos to halt the protest against the fuel subsidy removal.

“While the Defence Headquarters do not wish to join issues with any individual or groups regarding the matter, we wish to state categorically, in the interest of the larger society, that there is no element of truth in those claims.

“The soldiers seen on the streets of Lagos are still the same men of the special task force code named Operation MESSA set up and sponsored by the Lagos State government long before the fuel subsidy protests, for the purpose of supporting the civil police in protecting lives and property as is the case in many parts of the country.

“The men of the task force who are currently in Lagos have been there and were not brought from outside Lagos. They are members of the Lagos State Government sponsored Operation MESA and the demand for their withdrawal is therefore uncalled for”[/b], he concluded.

Fashola is secretly supporting an uprising against the Fed Govt.
No sane govt would stay in Abuja only to be rubbished by a state
governor whose party is bent on playing politics with everything
including the all important PIB.

Soldiers should stay, afterall they are not causing any harm.

ifeci:
How come you are the only one that knows about this info

TVC (Tinubu Television) aired it too.
Find out.

karl max:
MR fashola
But he used police and area boyz to distrupt a peaceful protest against the lekki toll gate a protest that was more peacefull than the subsidy removal protest!! He also used the police to beat and arrest innocent students who protested the increase in the lasu fee. Why didnt he make a statement when area boys were looting peoples shop and putting up check point to extort and robbed people. Take about HYPOCRACY.
The militry is in lagos to maintain law and order since the chief security officer has refused to do his job
Hypocrite fashola!!!

My brother Fashola is a big hypocrite.

An okada rider was burnt to ashes from the bonfire
set by these so-called protester and this man has the
nerve to tell us it was a "peeaceful protest"

gregg2:
@Poster
There are no protests in Port Harcourt.
Maybe Amechi was summoned in his capacity as
Chairman of Nigeria's governors forum.

Rivers is very calm.

Phased or gradual removal of subsidy will not achieve the purpose.

In economics, government needs not fix prices of products.
Remember, the thinking of government is to attract investments
in that sector. No investor will set up a refinery only for government
to decide for him how much he should sell his products. To be honest,
if gov tries it on MTN, Glo or Airtel etc they will all fold up.

So, it is either a government is deregulating or still regulating.

If a government wants more money in its kitty and attract economic growth
and investment  to downstream sector, it deregulates completely, which is what GEJ is doing.


But, if a government is broke and needs more money,
it increases pump prices while still regulating. Obasanjo, Abdulsalam, Abacha and IBB did just that.

@Poster
Your report is bias and misleading.

The populations of Libya, Kuwait, Qatar and UAE put together
is not upto the population of Lagos alone.

Below is the population of those countries:

Qatar         (1.5m)

Kuwait       (2.5m)

Libya         (6m)

U.A.E         (8m)

Venezuela  (26m)

S/Arabia     (27m)

Iraq           (32m)

Algeria       (37m)

Nigeria      ( 168m )


Besides, all these countries except Algeria produce more oil than Nigeria.
