Were they demanding for cash some countries cant even afford?
Na wah o! GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!.

I keep wondering what Nkechi's role was here? She will be f**ked enough by all the males in that station. I pity her most. Get rich quick bug, has bitten many in this nation. Let them pay for beating a man thats even older than their father.

I am really baffled at people's comment here. Irrespective of what, Yak has done well, I think we should allow his conscience to judge him. Even if many will not like this, give it to the young man, he has tried. We appreciate his own contribution, and urge him to move ahead with his life. National team jersey is not anyone's birthrite. To me, he should have simply apologised, and moved on! Afterall, that miss created the avenue for the clean up in the glass house. We all would have thought, all was well, but for that miss, That miss! That miss!! That mis!!! All should leave Yak alone,

Hm,

A frustrated fellow.

I wonder why government had to go through this embarrassment, before responding. We are yet to have a purposeful leader(ship),even after 50 years of independence. What we have so far, are shamless theives and "pick-pocketers",if I must use that language.

Four killed in foiled bank robbery

Two suspected robbers were shot dead, and two passersby killed by stray bullets yesterday when armed hoodlums attempted to rob several banks in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.

The gang of men had, at about 9am, stormed the banks located in Folagbade area of the town in an 18-seater bus and a Jetta Volkswagen, armed with sophisticated weapons. They were said to have fired sporadic shots into the air, apparently to scare away workers and residents. Passersby ran helter-skelter, while motorists abandoned their vehicles to escape from the troubled spot.

Following information received about their presence, the police raced to the scene with Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC), thereby forcing the bandits to flee. They took time out to shoot at and deflate the tyres on the armoured vehicle as they run away.

Two of the suspects were killed in the shooting, but the rest of the gang escaped.

Police promise

Banks in Ijebu Ode were shut down some months ago in protest of the incessant bank robberies in the town. They were re-opened recently after the state government purchased the Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC).

The State Commissioner of Police, Musa Daura, said that the Command was on top of the situation and that he has been in close contact with the Area Commander of the area.

“I am still awaiting details from the Area Commander, but I have been in regular contact with him,” Mr Daura said. The police boss urged members of the public to go about their normal duties, promising that the police will not relent in providing adequate security to the people in the state, especially during the last months of the year.

This nation is collapsing on Jonathan. As for Ayoka, or Mrs. Ayoka, she should take to the path of honour and resign. At her age, she had better repent of that great sin, before she sees GOD.

Minimum wage: Labour gives FG 14-day ultimatum
From FRANCIS AWOWOLE-BROWNE, Abuja
Thursday, October 28, 2010


Citing delay tactics by government, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) yesterday handed down a 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Government within which to initiate the process of implementation of the agreed new national minimum wage. Rising from a six-hour meeting of its National Executive Council (NEC) in Abuja, the organized labour said failure by government to accede to its demand, threatened to embark on a nationwide warning action in the first instance which would last from November 10 to 12, 2010.

Also, the union leaders called for the immediate sack of Mrs. Ayoka Adebayo, erstwhile Resident Electoral Commissioner in Ekiti, now in Ondo State over her alleged ignoble role in the electoral fraud in Ekiti State as revealed by the election petition appeal tribunal that annulled former Governor Segun Oni’s election and declared Dr. Kayode Fayemi as the duly elected governor.

Addressing newsmen on the resolutions arrived at during the meeting, congress President, Abdulwaheed Omar, explained that the congress could no longer find explanation to the government’s dilly dally over the national minimum wage, which negotiation commenced since 2008 and had to take a position

He described as unfortunate that negotiation started since 2008 with a committee set up to work out the modalities after which the committee’s recommendations were subjected to another rounds of negotiation by a tripartite committee which met and made recommendations to government but which had not materialized into any tangible outcome. According to him, “the meeting condemned the delay in the implementation of a new national minimum wage since the conclusion of negotiations early this year and observed that there is a deliberate connivance between government and the private sector to scuttle the implementation of a new national minimum wage.

“NEC-in-Session resolved that as a result of this reluctance by government to implement the new national minimum wage several months after the negotiations ended and recommendations made, the Nigeria Labour Congress will embark on a three-day warning strike. “Towards this end, NEC-in-Session resolved to give government the 14-day statutory notice after which it will embark on the warning strike. NEC-in-Session resolved that the three-day warning strike would begin on Wednesday, November 10 to Friday, November 12, 2010.”

Consequently, the labour would to set up a National Minimum Wage Strike Committee to drive the process for intensive mobilisation for a very successful strike, by making necessary arrangement with the congress sister organisation, the Trade Union Congress for a successful outing. On Mrs. Ayoka, the NLC NEC resolved to embark on series of protests to demand her removal just as it did to give vent to the demand for the removal of the former chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Maurice Iwu to serve as deterrent to others in her mould.

Said he: “NEC-in-Session noted with happiness that the struggle by the congress for a credible electoral process in Nigeria has not been in vain given that the sack of Prof Maurice Iwu and the subsequent appointment of Prof. Attahiru Jega as the new chairman of INEC resulted from the pressure mounted on government by the congress. NEC resolved that congress will give all its maximum support to the new INEC chairman to achieve credible, free and fair elections in 2011.”

I dont like topics like this, because everyone knows his godfather!.

What if the guy had up to N20,000 of his own personal cash which he wanted to withdraw from? Abeg First Bank, do the right thing jo!

1025:

obasanjo walking without security? well, u never can tell, ppl might mistake him for a chimpanzee.

No! People are quoting me wrong! I meant Osoba. Coincidentally, I have travelled with other past and seating governors like Donald Duke (when he was in power), James Ibori, Bola Tinubu, Voctor Attah, Odili, Kwankwaso, Dariye etc to mention a few. I have never seen Obasanjo face-to-face, talkless of travelling with him. Osoba was without security, and even the last time I saw him, 2 weeks ago, he was still without security.

In fairness to Osoba, I have travelled with this man, in Aero flight before. He is a complete gentle man. He never had any security detail, and even at Abuja airport, he carried his bag by himself and had to wait right in front of the arrival hall for about 5 minutes, before a green Prado jeep later appeared to pick him.

Well, perhaps, he never had the chance to enrich himself that much (since Obasanjo had to flush them out), because he can never claim innocence (as all contemporary Nigerian leaders are corrupt). He lives a life of a free man. He walks even without any company.

Hardtalk:

I challenge Obasanjo to a walk in Ota – Osoba

I want Obasanjo to do the same without any security. Let him just go out alone in Ota, in Abeokuta, anywhere in Ogun State and see whether the security of the people that I enjoy will give him cover.

What happened to Stephen in the Bible, will be an understatement, compared to what will happen to Obasanjo.

I challenge Obasanjo to a walk in Ota – Osoba
PoliticsOct 26, 2010

ASTUTE journalist, politician and former Governor of Ogun State was an active facilitator of the affairs of the Alliance of Democracy, the party which held sway in the Southwest between 1999 and 2003. The AD upon some, yet to be fully disclosed, political machination lost its dominion in the 2003 election with Governor Osoba being one of the notable victims.

In this interview with Vanguard’s BASHIR ADEFAKA, Osoba narrates, in ways never before, the events and political scheming by former President Olusegun Obasanjo ahead of the election and affirms that, the Progressives in the Southwest are long distance runners.
THE proposal by President Goodluck Jonathan for amendment of Section 87 of the Electoral Law has been described as a repeat of President Obasanjo’s Third Term agenda, sir what is your take on that?

I do not see any comparison between the two. Actually I am even against the original Electoral Act itself in the sense that the Electoral Act describes the mode of selection of candidates by all parties in the country. That is against the fundamental right of each association to determine the mode of selecting their candidates.

For example, we may decide in a particular party that we want Open Ballot where members will queue behind the pictures of their candidates. Some others may decide on Secret Ballot; others may decide on a mode where delegates that will elect candidates will emerge right from their wards to a congress at Local Government level, state level and then at the national level.
That should be a decision by each party.

So, as I told somebody, the whole arrangement is a PDP arrangement, which is very, very nauseating and insulting to all of us in the different political parties.
With the increasing spread of what is described as the progressive movement from Lagos, Ondo and now to Ekiti State, what do you think is the possible destination of the Awoist Southwest?

Olusegun Osoba
I expect that by now, discerning observers should know that we, who are genuinely disciples of Awolowo are long distant runners. They must now know that we are marathon specialists in terms of political war.
Papa Obafemi Awolowo till he died, believed very much in due process. He believed as a matter of principle and as an eminent lawyer in the rule of law and in the judiciary.

Even though at every turn he was disappointed; he never gave up. In every election he would go through the due process. He would go through all the laid down rules by the Constitution of the country, at the end of which, in most cases, he was always short-changed. But he never gave up. So we have learnt from him and I drank directly from his hands that you don’t give up; you must continue to fight.

For example, Papa Awolowo never believed in boycott of elections even where he knew that the result was already concluded. Therefore, we did not give up since 2003 when the do-or-die politicians, the garrison commanders rigged and seized the whole of Southwest through fraudulent means. We are at it and by the grace of God, we will regain every inch of the political space in Southwest.

But in Ogun and Oyo states, we discover that the judicial dust raised earlier has settled. Is there any more hope?
You wait till when the campaign starts. I promised the progressives in Ogun State that I will return home and lead them to regain and redeem the image of Papa Awolowo in Ogun State.

I deliberately left Ogun State when I was rigged out in 2003 in order to give the government a free hand and a free space to operate. They have had eight good years of heavy allocation of money; deluge of allocation unprecedented since Nigeria was founded. Now we know what they have done with the money.

We know what we did with the money in the four years that we were there. We will go into the field and make comparison.
It will be a political war of ideas, issues, debates on the aspiration of our people and expectation of our people. We are going to have interesting days ahead in Ogun State and Oyo State.

I am confident, as I told you, the whole of Southwest; we would regain those states through political due process.
Former Oyo State Governor, Lam Adeshina gave a brief account of how President Obasanjo rigged Southwest governors out of office in 2003. What is your own account of how it started, I mean the friendship that the former President seized to remove you from the Government Houses?

It was the then President Olusegun Obasanjo who invited us into the residence of former President Shehu Shagari, which was also used by Heads of State at various times, in Dodan Barracks. It was inside the presidential office in Dodan Barracks he invited us in July 2002 to a meeting and only himself, AD governors and the then head of SSS (State Security Service), Col. Kayode Are (rtd) were present at that meeting, where he came to lobby and beg us to help him.

And our reply at that time was that we could not take decisions on our own and that he should go to our leaders led by late Papa Abraham Adesanya and discuss the issue. That was how the whole thing started. And we reported back to the Afenifere caucus. I don’t want to go on bemoaning what happened.

Obasanjo
For example, in Ogun State, he (Obasanjo) wrote a figure of 1.2 million votes for himself. Then the votes scored by all of us; gubernatorial candidates which they wrote was six hundred thousand. So there was difference of six hundred thousand votes between total number of votes scored by all the gubernatorial candidates compiled and that of Obasanjo.

Till today, Obasanjo has not been able to explain how, when the elections took place the same time, two ballot papers were given to every voter; one for presidential election, one for gubernatorial election. Did six hundred thousand voters throw their votes for governorship away? Were the votes voided? Did they destroy the ballots? When these questions were put to him, he had no answer.

And at the Court of Appeal Tribunal, Ogun State was not part of the votes that made him President. Even the Court of Appeal threw out Ogun State to show you that they did not win anything in Ogun State.
Therefore, I don’t want to go back to it. I mean the issue has settled itself.

Today, Obasanjo, who undermined us, is himself out of office. In Yorubaland today, if we the progressives, the governors of AD and himself meet at a public function, you will get the verdict of the people on the spot.

It had happened before. There was a ceremony at St. Saviour Church, Tafawa Balewa Square, where the funeral ceremony of a Judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Ejiwumi, was being held. Obasanjo was in the Church and the progressive governors were in the Church before eminent Nigerians, highly placed Judges, lawyers.

We got the verdict of the people right inside the Church when his name was announced and we got the verdict of the people when all of us, former governors of the AD including former governor of Edo State, Chief John Odigie Oyegun were announced.
The people gave their verdict on him that day.

Despite the claim that you won the 2003 election but denied the mandate, you never went to court to seek redress. Why?
We, the AD governors, then resolved that we would not bother at all. In fact, Lam Adeshina, where we held the first meeting after the rigging of the election in April, 2003 before we left office, said that in Islam, the God that he served was God of vengeance and that He would rule in vengeance on perfidious characters and that we should leave it to God to decide what to do with anybody who committed perfidy against us.
Verdict of the people

There and then, all of us agreed that nobody should go to court; leave everything to God, leave Obasanjo to the verdict of the people and I am happy today that the judgement of the people is very, very heavy in the air.

There has been this persisting rumour that President Obasanjo visited you on the day of the 2003 elections as a way of distracting you from the alleged plans to rig……
(cuts in) No, no, no. Forget.
He did worse than that. That one is inconsequential. The Commissioner of Police in Ogun State, Mr. Israel Ajao, a first class, decent officer, was deliberately transferred out of Ogun State on the eve of the election purposely to create fear in the entire police force in Ogun State and to show to them there was a presidential power, which was ready to be used to whip everybody into submission.

And what was the offence of Israel Ajao? A petition was written that the PDP had organised thugs and hoodlums in a particular place to disrupt the elections. He got the petition from Senator Okurounmu and, as a decent officer, he sent his men to go and investigate whether it was true or not.
That was the only offence he committed!

Obasanjo threw him out of Ogun State: He called Tafa Balogun and told him that Israel Ajao should be withdrawn to Abuja. And Israel Ajao had to travel almost all night to get to Abuja and was kept out of reach throughout the first…. What else do you want to talk about? He brought out army personnel, all Immigration personnel, all Civil Defence personnel; all institutions that had anything to do with Federal Government.

In fact, the rigging was perfected at the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, UNAAB, by a very top officer of that institution, who wrote all the figures and the whole thing was done in UNAAB. We knew a lot. I don’t want to go back. Let’s put it behind us like Lam Adeshina used to say.
Today I work freely anywhere in Nigeria. I want Obasanjo to do the same without any security. Let him just go out alone in Ota, in Abeokuta, anywhere in Ogun State and see whether the security of the people that I enjoy will give him cover.

Poor Dokpesi. All because he chose to support an expired politician?

believe me if IBB gets the PDP ticket as Ciroma seems to be so sure about, then if dopkesi calls another lecture even in a gutter the seats will be filled to capacity and every docking politician will show his face and make noise.

Dopkesi is a very lucky man. Jonathan is a real democrat who seems keen to be seen in that light.

Otherwise If Dokpesi crossed carpets in this way during papa Iyabo's regime walahi talahi, he will be cooling off in Kirikiri with Bode George accused of the 1st October bombing with written and signed confession on the table.

God bless Nigeria.

For sure, trust OBJ.

I laughed so much when I read this. In fact, it was more laugh when I read comments from the same subject matter from the site above from Zimbabwean Broadcasting Corporation .

Nigeria, I mean.

Ileke-IdI:

I don't have the answers to those questions. But I'm sure you do since you already determined that it should not be an international airport.
And feel free to answer your own questions, I'm waiting.

Okay Dear, lets not quarrel. I give up. Do not feel I am against this project. I was only talking from experience about airports in Nigerian and how we rush to label them "International", thats all.

@ Ileke-Idi, I hope is not that same airport that advertise on Manual Notice board (with chalk) , that you are talking about, because I have been there. Airports I have not been to in Nigeria, are not up to 7.


Waiting, please,

Ileke-IdI:

L.O.L

Down to business:

1. What is the length of Enugu Airport?
2. What is the airport area site?
3. What is the Passengers Terminal Floor Space.
4. How is the mode of access to the airport?
5. What is the aircraft movement capacity like around the tarmac?
6. How can the airport be accessed from town?
7. In case of huge traffic, how can the airport handle it?
8. How many airlines (local for now), are running the airport?
Please for now, just answer these. How you answer this little test, will determine whther you are ripe for the rest.

Ileke-IdI:


You're not making sense.
I asked you to define "INTERNATIONAL" to me and you're rambling.
Your outburst was based on YOUR opinion, is that what you're saying?
I dont expect you to give me the details sweety, I was just joking BTW.
So how did you learn Yoruba? Lagos?

Here is my definition of International airport.

An international Airport means, International Airport!.
