You just know the world is coming to an end when a man decides to impoverish the people that entrusted him with their mandates. Lagos is like Tinubu's personal estate. Osheeeeeeeeeeeeee

The Debt Management Office (DMO) has put Nigeria’s total debt ( external and domestic debt) as at the end of September this year, at $40 billion.


Director-General, DMO, Dr. Abraham Nwankwo, who disclosed this at the weekend in an interactive session with journalists in Lagos, however allayed fears that the country’s debt profile had risen astronomically.

A breakdown of the figure by Nwankwo, showed that whereas the country’s total external debt stood at $5.6 billion, its domestic debt was N5.3 trillion ($34.4 billion).

He argued that the total debt figure at 19.6 per cent of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), was sustainable.

Nwankwo explained: “Now, the global standard for all countries that are in our peer group is that you total debt to GDP should be about 40 per cent.

That is the global standard. We did not set the standard and we are at 19.6 per cent. So, if you ask me, I will say that in view of the benchmark, we are doing very well in terms of being comfortable to be within the sustainable limit. However, even though the global standard is 40 per cent, Nigeria had set for itself, a limit of 25 per cent. So even if you look at that, we are still below the standard we set for ourselves.

He however added: “Our plan is that Nigeria should not reach 25 per cent, even by 2015 and then we can look at the figures again and see whether we have improved in our ability to manage resources better before we can borrow additional resources.”

He further explained that when analysing the debt of any country and particularly Nigeria, the debt level should always be related to another variable.

“You relate debt stock to the GDP, you relate debt service to your export earning, relate debt service to your revenue. So, with that, you get the appropriate sovereignty ration, liquidity ratio, because if you don’t do that, you take a wrong decision.

“I challenge you to go and look at Nigeria’s GDP five years ago, either in nominal or real terms and look at the GDP currently. You have to relate the resources to the level and volume of economic activities. So, when you look at Nigeria’s domestic debt, it is not too big. It has grown because when you relate it to the GDP, it is about 16 per cent and when you add that to the external ratio which is about 2 per cent, it gives your 19.6 per cent. So we are stable,” Nwankwo declared.

Responding to question on the high demand for bond by state governments, the DMO helmsmen said that for any state to issue such debt instrument, there are certain criteria and conditions that must be met.

He however challenged the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) , government agencies responsible for project monitoring, civil society groups and individuals in the country to ensure that funds raised by states, are properly utilised for the projects that had been indicated in the prospectus before such funds were raised.

“Amongst other things, for a state to borrow, its total debt service deduction is established. That is, the amount of debt owed by state that is being deducted from their revenue –particularly from their Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) revenue, to service the debt.

“Now, the rule is that your (states) total monthly debt service deductions should not be more than 40 per cent of your FAAC allocation average for the past 12 months. So, you can see that states do not just go to the debt market and borrow nor do they just go to the bank and borrow. There is a serious level of control and they must follow certain guideline,” he added.

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday urged the church to support his transformation agenda.

He also asked for the backing of Nigerians in his plan to remove fuel subsidy.

The President who spoke yesterday through the Minister of Labour and Productivity,Mr.Emeka Nwogwu at this year’s Holy Ghost Congress at the Redeemed City,Ogun State, said “I am guided by biblical principles of transparency in leadership. Government is pursuing the agenda of regaining government trust in the eyes of the people through his security agenda to foster unity and peace".

Jonathan pleaded with the General Overseer GO of the Redeemed Christain Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye to pray for him and thanked the church and the GO for their support during the April presidential election which he won.
He said his victory was made possible through the prayers of Adeboye.

Nwogwu said the president won't let Nigeria and Nigerians down as he takes every decision with them in mind.
"A new thing has happened in Nigeria because your brother and friend, the president shares your vision,”the minister said.

Adeboye gave the theme for the first 2012 Holy Ghost Service in January,: 'A New Alter to the Lord'.
He prayed for the countryand expressed optimism that Nigeria would be better and “experience a new dawn.”
A total of 30 babies: 15 boys and 15 girls were born during the one week convention.

Dignitaries at the service included the wives of the Ogun State governor, Mrs Olufunso Amosun;that of Lagos State, Dame Abimbola Fashola; and deputy governor of Lagos State,Mrs Adejoke Adefulire-Orelope, who implored religious leaders to keep praying for leaders.
Also present were delegates from different parts of the world.

TWENTY-FOUR hours after tens of them were molested and brutalised by policemen and some thugs suspected to have been hired by the Lagos State Government, residents of Lekki yesterday vowed to resist the imposition of toll fees on them by Governor Babatunde Fashola and former Governor Bola Tinubu.

To them, Fashola and Tinubu were determined to exploit them through the tolling system, “when we can not feel the impact of government in our area”.

They said it was unfortunate that on a project that N50 billion was allegedly spent, Tinubu and Fashola are targetting N506 billion.
A resident, Alhaji Femi Onitiri, said: “'With their own calculation, Lagosians will give Tinubu, Fashola and their government N253 billion for the 30 years they have concessioned the road. That is one-way trip. There is no way you will go through the toll gate and you will not return. That is N253 billion times two. That gives them N506 billion for a project they claimed to have spent N50 billion on. Don't forget that every two to three years, they will also increase the fee. So, there is no way Lagosians will not pay more than N6 trillion on that road into the pockets of a few.

“Of course, we all know that this Lekki axis is a growing place. It is currently at one quarter of its development capacity. New schemes are still coming up. And between this toll gate and Epe, there will be two other toll gates. Also, between the toll gate and Epe, there are about 70 housing units. So, Lagosians are yet to understand the devious and selfish plans of these people. What they are doing is like selling all of us into slavery. They don't need to work again. They will just be making billions of naira every year. Where do you have this type of arrangement anywhere in the world?”

Popular Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw-Nuttal, said it was unfortunate that Fashola could describe himself as a democrat.

She said: “What is happening is really unfortunate. Despite the taxes we pay, they still want to add to the hardship of the people living in this axis. We provide our own water, our security, our electricity, fix our roads. Despite the fact that they don't provide anything for us, they are still telling us to pay toll when they have not provided an alternative. This is callousness and we will not accept it”.

The Chairman of Lagos Collectives, Professor Tejumade Akitoye Rhodes, in a statement entitled “Lagos is now under slavery”, said: “We will resist every attempt by Bola Tinubu to enslave all of us. We are the real Lagosians. They are strangers and we will not allow them to kill us through their dictatorial taxes.

“This mysterious character from Iragbiji let loose terror on journalists, photographers and residents of Lekki Peninsula on Saturday, the 17th of December in a brazen display of autocratic perversion.

“Bola Tinubu is now challenging all of us. Lagosians should wake up! Are we all going to remain slaves in our own land? This madness must be resisted with all vehemence, with all passionate fury we can muster.

“Tinubu cannot, and must not, subject the good people of the Lekki Peninsula to some arbitrary tolling extortion. Without the provision of an alternative road, without the least complimentary enhancement to road users, Tinubu, who now acts as the sole proprietor of Lagos, wants all of us to bend down and crawl and accept the madness on the ground.

“In his callous insistence to milk us all dry, Tinubu unleashed his savage thugs on peaceful protesters maiming, shooting and wounding students, the elderly and the young without discrimination.

“In a macabre complicity with the police, Tinubu's agents beat up PDP leaders and pushed them into Black Maria. Honourable Tolani Animashaun is one of our leaders who is unjustly detained by the Commissioner of Police on behalf of Tinubu. Are we going to continue to live like this? Why is it that no one is speaking out? Lagos is now an orphan. People are being killed and maimed by the Gestapo agents of Tinubu and nothing is being done about it. Truly Lagos has gone to the dogs! If Tinubu get away with the illegal toll gate, then we are all in trouble”.

Speaking on behalf of the Lekki Peninsula Residents Association (LPRA), Mr. Benson Uwatse said: “We members of the Lekki Peninsula Residents Association, Phase 1 decided to join in the peaceful protest because we are aware we applied to the police authority and the letter was acknowledged. We were so orderly. Nobody took more than placards and I don't know who will be crazy enough to assault policemen with AK 47. Nobody was disorderly. I was not feeling too well because until a few months ago, I was walking with clutches.

“I am a professional businessman who lives here and my office is at the Mercedez Centre. Because of my health, I sat on the floor and before you know it, CSP Akeem Odumosu ordered his men to arrest me. They punched me in the face, broke my glasses and throughout the day, my right eyes were swollen before they threw me into the Black Maria.

“Although it was a special opportunity for me to know how a Black Maria looks like.

They drove us to Panti and returned us back. When we got to Falomo Bridge, they got a counter order to return us to Panti again. We were there until the Special Adviser to the governor came and asked them to release me. I said I was not interested in a release but the CP said that he has an order to release me and that as such, I should go. They released me at exactly 9.30 p.m.

“I was very surprised when I heard that the protest was politically motivated. Apart from the fact that we secured a permit, I am too comfortable to join a political protest even if there was any. What we are saying is that there is no alternative route. The Oniru Road cannot service anyone beyond those in the First Gate. We are not against tolling but it should be on the basis of consensus agreement between us and the government. It is insulting to ascribe my involvement to politics. Everyone of them are my friends. Was I politically motivated before I voted for Fashola? It is not all about me, it is about the people.

“I have over 100 employees who will suffer from this unfriendly policy of Fashola. Would they not expect me to add to their salaries? Do I need any political motivation to speak against this kind of issue?

“Please tell the Commissioner Of Police to watch his utterances. I take offence in the statement that it was political. In the contract agreement, they were supposed to provide a coastal highway. Where is the coastal highway? In their anxiety to collect toll, they claimed Oniru should be an alternative route. Go and check the so-called alternative. It is jam packed on a Sunday. What will happen tomorrow which is a working day? Mind you, students are on holidays”.

Another resident, Emmanuel Omot, said: “What we organised was a peaceful protest and the next thing we saw was that Tinubu released his thugs on us. Today is Sunday, tomorrow will be worse and students are on holiday. Just to go and campaign against a bad policy that enslaves the people, Fashola almost killed us all”.

Abioye Akerele, a lawyer, said the residents would not pay the toll. “I am a lawyer with a chamber, I have an advertising agency, I have an advertising school and many other business concerns. Would you say that I am not able to pay the tolls? All we are saying is that there should be no tolling. This is not an express road. It is a metropolitan road. We have 74 estates along this axis alone. If you want to fix a metropolitan road, how do you arrive at picking the contractor? How many companies publicly bid for the road? All this started in 2005 when Tinubu was the governor. They know what they are doing. What you are seeing is a private deal. We are not being sentimental.

“I was a member of Tinubu's cabinet, but this is an issue that affects everyone. An akara seller who trades with a token N10,000 will have to pay tolls to go to Obalende to buy beans. Let me also reveal to you that when the contract started, they took a loan from a South African bank and the collateral they used was a land in Ibeju-Lekki. That land, they have started selling it at the rate of N6 million per plot. The entire road is 49.5km. They said it would be a phase by phase approach with a promise as contained in the agreement that they won't collect toll until they complete it.

“They have not even covered 23km which ordinarily stops at Lagos Business School. In fact, we just have to sympathise with those living in Phase 1. Once you come out from the gate, you will pay N250 wherever you are going and when you are coming back, you pay another N250. If you mistakenly forget something, you will have to pay another one. My brother, if life could be so difficult for people in Lekki, what about those in other places? People are not asking questions. This also means that natives of this communities pay everyday while coming or going to their villages. Why can't they go and do same thing at Bourdillon in Ikoyi or Surulere where Fashola lives? It is not about me, it is about the common man, the common trader”.

A 70-year-businessman, who prefers anonymity, said: “Our protest was peaceful. I am over 70 and a successful person. We wrote to the police and they even guided us while we were walking peacefully. It was, however, very obvious that they wanted the situation to lead to crisis. They harassed us. They provoked us but we comported ourselves. We, the elderly, ensured that no one goes beyond the line and we had a vehicle that was guiding us as we walked along. The next thing we saw was that Odumosu ordered his men to start shooting without cause. They shot tear gas. We started running and looking for water.

“As we were running, we saw buses filled with people. We felt they were our sympathisers, not knowing that they were thugs paid by the government to attack us. I have never seen such a peaceful protest in my life until the government is now labelling it a political protest. Mind you, some of us are privy to the agreement. The alternative road was defined . We are enlightened and we cannot allow anyone take us for a ride”.
Another 70-year-old man said: “I am over 70 years and I agreed to participate because I learnt the association got a police permit. I was totally surprised when they started shooting and manhandling us. It was obvious they were acting a script written by the government. Another surprise was that the thugs were fraternising with the police men that were on ground. What kind of irresponsible government would unleash thugs on her citizens? All we asked for was that there should be an alternative road and a negotiation of how much toll that will be paid on a general consensus and not on arbitrarily fixed by one man.

Ronke. A PhD holder, said: “I am not a politician and I am not affiliated to any party. It was a peaceful protest before Odumosu started chastising people. The only thing we had were placards and bottles of water. Odumosu was so charged up that he wanted to cause crisis. On that day, about three lanes were not operational hence, we did not cause any traffic. I am educated to the highest level and as such, we insist that there is no justification for the toll for now. I live here and I can tell you there is no government facility on ground. No hospital, no water, no light , nothing practically. Recently, I paid N150,000 on a property tax. It makes it worse at hearing that our protest was political. If it were to be political, then I should be ascribed to the Action Congress of Nigeria because I voted for them in the last election not because of anything but because I once loved his policies but as it is now, he has betrayed us and we have lost confidence in him. My children goes to school on same road, my workers and even me. Where do I get the money from? It is nasty on their part.

Another resident called Bukola said: “I live in VGC with my family but decided to join the protest because it concerns us. We were not obstructing traffic but all along, Odumosu was charged. He ordered his boys to shoot at us and immediately he dipped his hands inside his pocket and pointed the gun on us. He even shot. We have the pictures. One of the young men with us wanted to attack them but I cautioned him and until we left the place, he never left my sight. I was assaulted. A man came, punched me and it was my husband that rescued me. They wanted me to fall so that they could pounce on me. They pursued us to the gate and unleashed thugs on us. Throughout that day, I could not comport myself. I am very surprised that in this dispensation, something like this could happen. It was an organised attack on we the residents.
“Before yesterday, there have been negotiations with both the government and the LCCI. We were surprised when we got messages that they wanted to commence collection. We got a permit and we were so orderly. Everything was under control. Odumosu was agitating trouble. He was picking quarrels. They inflicted injuries on us. He asked them to shoot”.

Onlytruth:
My brother Obiagu1, I don't know what purpose deleting this thread would serve, especially when it contains some information about how we Ndigbo relate with ourselves and our leaders. I would never support masking faults. Maybe when others take full advantage of it and teach us the lesson of our lives, then, Igbo people would learn to be reasonable.
For me, the issue now is not even this mall. The issue is our people's tendency to attack and ridicule their leaders
without any sane justification.

Why are our people always eager to attack and ridicule their leaders as their first line of defence against any perceived grievance?

Take this character Bandit.C for example. If he did not like what I said about BOTH Enugu and Onitsha, why didn't he simply tell me that I was wrong and lay down his own argument? Did I ridicule his state or people in any way?
The story I shared was REAL and TRUTH. Did my fault rise to the level at which he needed to ridicule Ndigbo (because frankly I don't give a damn about anything )? Why are we always quick to attack and ridicule our leaders?

Take a look at Amb Ralph Uwechue for example. At a stage I was wondering why he barely made any speeches.
Bros he is guarding against insults from his fellow Igbo folks. That has been Ojukwu's lot throughout his life of struggle. It is one thing to hold personal opinions and air them powerfully. It is the height of stooopidty and idiocy for any sane human to attack and ridicule his leader whether he voted for him or not. Politically sophisticated groups understand the importance of rallying round their leaders. Even if you don't want to rally round him/her, don't attack and ridicule his office.

Igbo enwe eze is very real, but we must also accept to serve others for as long as this earth exists.
So, the mods can decide to delete it if they want. I won't ask them.


About Chino11, I have SEVERALLY in the past cautioned and even verbally abused him here. At a stage he fought back and I still chided and left him. To my surprise, some of our brothers from other SE states lob me, Chino11 and other Anambra people into that same group. What else can I do? Now you have a professional maggot and hyena called Alj_Harem coming here to add his goat mouth into dividing Igboland to suit his demonic agenda.

Umu Igbo, I will tell you again.

There is no superior or inferior Igbo in Igboland. That is the most stoopid ideology for anyone of us to nurse whether openly or subliminally. There is no superior or inferior SE state. We are ALL THE SAME.
Even Nigerians states are all the same. Whoever doesn't like this fact is free to take a bath in a super concentrated acid.

Unu ekwesigo imara ihe.

My mission is to defeat this stoopidity that has held us down in Nigeria.
Unu chozikwa, anyi akuwasiba ife nine.
Onye obuna jiri ire ya guo eze ya onu.

I won't say these again.

You are truly a wise man. I am happy we have you as our leader. Onye nwe anyi gbaa gi ume!!!

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=827117.msg9790046#msg9790046 date=1324213201]Obviously all these hypocrites on the thead have an agenda, which is to pull down any living church.

You will all perish if you keep attacking God because he is greater than all of you and your master combined together.

Like i said, that slap probably saved the witch's life because she certainly would never have believed any christian would not be a walkover for her demonic power.

And yes, even many so-called christians are waiting for God himself to slap the rubbish out of their brain cells before they cant get their act together. They just fail to realise a slap from God can still be avoided if they slap themselves first before God slaps them.

If this is the only grouse you demon worshippers have against oyedepo then unfortunately you have failed sorry.

Dont judge, dont condemn, dont ask = Mugu

Gullible Nigerians are always the victims of fraud. These thieving pastors are only enriching themselves and enslaving their paying members. If that gal was GEJ's daughter, I wonder if that thieving pastor Oyedepo would have slapped her the way he did to that poor lil girl. Shame

It is really so sad reading through all these insults and tantrum throwing. I wonder how these beautiful thread degenerated to all these, this is really a show of shame. Unu na emechu mmadu iru na ebe a. Biko ya bizie. Onye biri ibe ya biri
