thoth: why would people allow that ? Nigerians do not really understand what the Government really is and the powers that it has over the property and the masses that constitutes the state. This man has no right to use the states money to buy SUVs for anybody, How can he be using the states money as his personal wealth. People always clamor for democracy but they don't even know what it is hence it becomes a threat to their own progress as a society.

what he is doing now is a typical example of What some house maids do with their madam's baby~ drink the whole cerelac and rub a little on the baby's Lips,madam pikin don suffer,lol[/quote]

Mortiple: Gov Oby has set bad precedence. I won't be surprise if his counterparts in other Eastern States follow suit.

For crying out loud, most of these Traditional Rulers are stupendously wealthy. Why waste tax-payers money on frivolities?

But wait a minute, I thought Gov. Oby's tenure in office will expire in October 2013? Or is he trying to 'motivate' the royal fathers to support his candidate?

Let us assume that each vehicle costs N5 Million (obviously I know it can never be less). You will be talking about close to N1 Billion. Such amount could have been put to better use.

damn! This people are unrepented hypocrites

Muslim Behaviour Explained…(Statistically): By Dr Peter Hammond

Here is a perspective by Dr. Peter Hammond.

Dr. Hammond’s doctorate is in Theology.

He was born in Capetown in 1960, grew up in Rhodesia and

converted to Christianity in 1977.

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult.

In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military

components.

The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to

agitate for their religious privileges.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree

to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other

components tend to creep in as well..

Here’s how it works:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given

country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving

minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.

This is the case in:

United States– Muslim 0..6%

Australia– Muslim 1.5%

Canada– Muslim 1.9%

China– Muslim 1.8%

Italy– Muslim 1.5%

Norway– Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and

disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among

street gangs.This is happening in:

Denmark — Muslim 2%

Germany — Muslim 3.7%

United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%

Spain — Muslim 4%

Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their

percentage of the population.

For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by

Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for

Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket

chains to

feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to

comply.This is occurring in:

France — Muslim 8%

Philippines — 5%

Sweden — Muslim 5%

Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%

The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%

Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them

to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law.

The ultimate goal of Islamist is to establish Sharia law over the entire

world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase

lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions.

In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings.

Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats,

such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films

about Islam.Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections,

in:

Guyana — Muslim 10%

India — Muslim 13.4%

Israel — Muslim 16%

Kenya — Muslim 10%

Russia — Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia

formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and

Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia– Muslim 32..8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks,and on-going militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia– Muslim 40%

Chad– Muslim 53.1%

Lebanon– Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of

all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic

cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax

placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania — Muslim 70%

Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%

Qatar — Muslim 77.5%

Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run

ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the

infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in

some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh — Muslim 83%

Egypt — Muslim 90%

Gaza — Muslim 98.7%

Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%

Iran — Muslim 98%

Iraq — Muslim 97%

Jordan — Muslim 92%

Morocco — Muslim 98.7%

Pakistan — Muslim 97%

Palestine — Muslim 99%

Syria — Muslim 90%

Tajikistan — Muslim 90%

Turkey — Muslim 99.8%

United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of

Peace.. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim,

the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such

as in:

Afghanistan — Muslim 100%

Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%

Somalia — Muslim 100%

Yemen — Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most

radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust

by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

‘Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life.

It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father ;

my family against my cousins and the clan ;

the clan against the tribe ;

the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel?. –

Leon Uris, ‘The Haj’

It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100%

Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live

in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live

by Sharia Law.

The national police do not even enter these ghettos.

There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious

facilities.

In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large.

The children attend madrases. They learn only the Koran.

To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death.

Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists

exercise more power than the national average would indicate.

Today’s 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world’s population.

But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus,

Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers .. Muslims will exceed 50% of the

world’s population by the end of this century.

The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.
Politics › Scores Injured As Fresh Violence Erupts In Osun Communities by gratiaeo(op): 7:05am On Dec 28, 2013
Fresh violence broke out among the people of Oba- Ile and Oba-Oke in Olorunda Local Government Area of Osun State on Friday.

There were counter   claims about how the fresh trouble started but a source within Oba-Oke told our correspondent on the telephone that some youths in Oba-Ile invaded Oba-Oke and beat up some people.

This was said to have angered the people of Oba-Oke who mobilised and stormed Oba-Ile for revenge.

But Oba-Ile residents claimed that the people of Oba-Oke started the trouble.

The disagreement, it was learnt led to a fierce fight where weapons were freely used by both sides.

Scores of residents from  both sides were said to have been injured in the ensuing melee.

A resident, who fled the scene, told our correspondent that policemen had been deployed to the two  communities to bring the situation under control.

It was not immediately known if there was any loss of life in the clash but some residents of the two towns expressed apprehension on the conditions of some of those injured.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Osun Command, Folasade Odoro, confirmed the fresh clash to our correspondent on the telephone. She, however, added that the situation had been brought under control.

The PPRO said, “The command has been able to restore normalcy in the area and investigation is ongoing.”

It will be recalled that the  residents of the two neighbouring communities had engaged in a bloody  clash in October. The October clash which led to the destruction of many houses in the area led to the the burning of the palace of the Oloba of Oba-Oke, Oba Dahunsi Iyiola.

Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, had imposed a curfew from 6pm to 6am on the two communities at the time.

The new Assistant Inspector-General of Police for Zone 11, Mr. David Omojola,  visited the two communities in November on resumption of duty and held meetings with the traditional rulers of the two communities.

The monarchs assured the AIG who was in company with the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mrs. Dorothy Gimba, that they would allow peace to reign.

Injury blow for man city
Manchester City are
without defender Martin
Demichelis for today’s
crucial clash with
Liverpool at the Etihad
Stadium after the centre-
half sustained an injury
during training on Christmas Day.
The 33-year-old is replaced by
England international Joleon
Lescott, while Edin Dzeko drops
to the substitutes’ bench. The
striker, who started in the 4-2
win at Fulham last weekend, is
replaced by winger Jesus
Navas.
However, the hosts are boosted
by the return from injury of
full-back Pablo Zabaleta in
place of Gael Clichy – a timely
comeback as the Blues prepare
to face title rivals Liverpool,
who are skippered by in-form
striker Luis Suarez while club
captain Steven Gerrard is
sidelined with a groin ailment.
Reds defender Jon Flanagan,
who sustained a groin injury in
the 3-1 triumph over Cardiff
City last time out, is not fit
enough to feature and is
replaced by Aly Cissokho.
Manchester City: Hart,
Zabaleta, Lescott, Kompany (C),
Kolarov, Fernandinho, Yaya
Toure, Nasri, Silva, Negredo,
Navas. Substitutes: Milner,
Dzeko, Garcia, Clichy,
Pantilimon, Nastasic, Boyata.

For me, playing Cissokho in this game is a massive gamble. The French defender is not the quickest, and if he's up against the very speedy Jesus Navas, it could be a real problem for the Reds.

Additionally, Cissokho hasn't played since November 11th, so he clearly won't be 100% match-fit.

Given the personnel available, Glen Johnson could've played at left back, with the vastly experienced - and Premier League proven - Kolo Toure coming in at right back.

Decisions like this can make or break a season, but let's hope it turns out well...

Toure fires warning to Liverpool
The Merseysiders arrive on Boxing Day full of confidence as they are top of the table at Christmas for the first time in five years.

They are actually the last club to be in that position and not go on to win the title but despite rising optimism at Anfield, Toure sounded a word of caution.

Having been drawn against Barcelona in the knockout stage of the Champions League, Toure has had word from inside the Catalan club's camp that is not a draw they are relishing.

"I had a call from one of my old team-mates from Spain who was quite disappointed," said the former Barcelona midfielder.

"He wasn't sure what would happen. In the past they would be confident they would go through and beat anyone but they are afraid about us.

"The way we are playing at home - and they are seeing that - means they are quite scared because we play fantastic football, we score goals and it is total attack.

"At the moment we are terrific at home. Any team who comes here we think we can score against - maybe it won't always be the case for us to achieve that every game.

"We are not the sort of team that is fearful of opponents, we are playing in an attractive way and an attacking way, and I think Liverpool will be aware of that."

City's home record is formidable as they have won all eight league matches and scored 35 goals and they are only in third place, one point behind Liverpool, because of their inferior away form.

Striker Sergio Aguero has scored eight of his 13 league goals at the Etihad Stadium but his calf injury means fans will be denied the chance to see the top-flight's two leading scorers go head-to-head.

Liverpool's Luis Suarez is in the form of his life with 19 goals in just 12 league games and Toure admits it is difficult to separate the two.

"Aguero is unbelievable, he is one of the most important strikers in this league at the moment," said the Ivory Coast international.

"He can always make something happen and his partnership with Alvaro (Negredo) was fantastic for us so at the moment missing him is a big blow for us but we have to deal with it.

"Suarez is a brilliant player and this season he is at the top. Him and Aguero are the best strikers in England, no question, and are up there as the best in the world too.

"It would have been fantastic to see them on the same pitch in this game; Suarez has everything in his game at the moment.

"But Liverpool are a team with other good players too and a good manager. It will be a big, big game."

Luis Suarez vs Vincent Kompany: Big reputations on the line As Manchester City prepare to host Liverpool on Boxing Day, arguably the division’s best striker and defender meet. Manchester City’s home record is outstanding this season, with Manuel Pellegrini’s men wiping the floor with allcomers at the Etihad Stadium over the last couple of months. What is Liverpool’s best starting XI? The next team into the lion’s den is Liverpool, who travel to Manchester today in search of a result to keep them on top of the Premier League table. However, an interesting subplot will see Luis Suarez take on Vincent Kompany, in what is sure to have a real impact on the outcome of the game. The Liverpool striker is in scintillating form, netting an incredible 19 goals in 12 Premier League games this season already. However, he will go up against arguably the most able central defender in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium in the form of the Belgian. Despite a comical own goal in City’s last game, a 4-2 win over Fulham, Kompany seems close to full fitness once more and will be keen to lead his side to another victory on home soil against the Reds. To do so, he will be personally charged with keeping the mercurial Uruguayan quiet – no mean feat given the confidence that runs through Suarez’s veins at the moment. Given the lofty reputations of the individual players, it is fair to build the personal battle up as the Premier League’s best striker against its top defender. http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2013/12/26/luis-suarez-vs-vincent-kompany-big-reputations-on-the-line/

Rodgers hoping to end man city run
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes his side are capable of ending Manchester City's 100 per cent home league record this season.

The Premier League leaders head to the Etihad Stadium on Boxing Day to face a third-placed City side who have won all eight of their home games, scoring 35 goals in the process.

"We know it is a tough place to go. This season Manchester City have won every one of their games at home but we've won every one at home bar one," said Rodgers.

"They obviously have confidence at home and they score goals but they concede goals.

"You normally lose it (a 100 per cent record) at some stage of the season, it will depend on a team going there and having the bravery to play and get that bit of luck when you need it.

"In the two games against City last season we were the better side and we made mistakes that cost us and we ended up drawing the two games.

"They will know as well we are a good side and arrive with confidence high.

"We understand it will be a really tough game but we are looking forward to it.

"If you play to your A game it may be difficult for opponents and that is what we concentrate on - we can be the team that goes there and gets the first result."

Rodgers admits he is currently short on numbers and is looking at drafting in youth and reserve players to bolster his first-team squad over the busy festive period.

"Man City's squad is one which has been built to win every trophy in the world, not just the Premier League," he said.

"We understand the size of the task but our team at the moment has shown to be the best team over 17 games.

"You have to respect the opponent and understand they have some outstanding players but recognise the talents of your own group.

"You will probably learn more about the squad (over the coming days).

"I know what the team can do but we have a number of injuries, however, we will go into the game with the same charisma and aggression to work.

"It is an opportunity for us in the game but also an opportunity for me to bring in youth team and reserve team players - that is why you have an academy."
