My dear Nigerians, October 1st remains a special date for all Nigerians as this marks the day when we attained one of the most precious of human desires — freedom. Over the years the country has gone through trials and tribulations, but October 1st is always a day for celebrations. It is a day for thanks giving, reflection and re-dedication. It is also a day for remembrance. We should remind ourselves of the recent journey from 1999 – 2015, when our country happily returned to democratic rule. However, in spite of oil prices being an average of $100 per barrel and about 2.1m barrels a day, that great piece of luck was squandered and the country’s social and physical infrastructure neglected. We were left with no savings and huge infrastructure deficit. The APC Government’s Campaign rallying cry to restore security, re-balance the economy and fight corruption was not all rhetoric. The country must first be secured. The economy must be re-balanced so that we do not depend on oil alone. We must fight corruption which is Nigeria’s Number One Enemy. Our Administration is tackling these tasks in earnest. In the past two years, Nigeria has recorded appreciable gains in political freedom. A political Party at the Centre losing elections of State Governor, National Assembly seat and even State Assemblies to the opposition parties is new to Nigeria. Added to these are complete freedom to associate, to hold and disseminate opinions. Such developments clearly attest to the country’s growing political development. But like all freedoms, this is open to abuse. Recent calls on re-structuring, quite proper in a legitimate debate, has let in highly irresponsible groups to call for dismemberment of the country. We can not and we will not allow such advocacy. As a young Army Officer, I took part from the beginning to the end in our tragic civil war costing about 2m lives, resulting in fearful destruction and untold suffering. Those who are agitating for a re-run were not born by 1967 and have no idea of the horrendous consequences of the civil conflict which we went through. I am very disappointed that responsible leaders of these communities do not warn their hot-headed youths what the country went through. Those who were there should tell those who were not there, the consequences of such folly. At all events, proper dialogue and any desired constitutional changes should take place in a rational manner, at the National and State Assemblies. These are the proper and legal fora for National debate, not some lop-sided, un-democratic body with pre-determined set of objectives. Government is keeping up the momentum of dialogue with stakeholders in the Niger Delta to keep the peace. We intend to address genuine grievances of the communities. Government is grateful to the responsible leadership of those communities and will pursue lasting peace in the Niger Delta. SECURITY On security, Nigerians must be grateful to our gallant Armed Forces for rolling back the frontiers of Boko Haram’s terrorism, defeating them and reducing them to cowardly attacks on soft and vulnerable targets. Nigeria is grateful to its neighbours and the international community for the collective efforts to defeat this world-wide menace of terrorism. Not even the most organized and most equipped police and security forces in the world can escape the menace of modern day terrorism, as we have seen in recent years in Europe and other parts of the world. But we are not letting up. Our Armed Forces in an effort to enhance the operational capability of troops of OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE have established Mobile Strike Teams in the North East. These will ensure the final push to wipe out the remnants of Boko Haram. In addition, through targeted air strikes most of the leadership and identified logistics bases and routes of the insurgents have been neutralized. The Armed Forces have established a Naval presence in the Lake Chad Basin as part of the coordinated military efforts to curtail the movements or re-emergence of the sect in the area. Government is working round the clock to ensure release of the remaining Chibok girls, as well as other persons in Boko Haram captivity. Government will continue to support the Armed Forces and other security agencies to fight not only terrorism, but kidnapping, armed robberies, herdsmen/farmers violence and to ensure peace, stability and security in our country. ECONOMY With respect to the economy, the Government has remained pro-active in its diversification policy. The Federal Government’s agricultural Anchor Borrowers Programme, which I launched in November 2015, has been an outstanding success with: · N43.92 billion released through the CBN and 13 participating institutions, · 200,000 small holder farmers from 29 states of the federation benefitting, · 233,000 hectares of farmland cultivating eight commodities, namely Rice, Wheat, Maize, Cotton, soya-beans, Poultry, Cassava and Groundnuts, in addition to fish farming. These initiatives have been undertaken in close collaboration with the states. I wish to commend the efforts of the Governors of Kebbi, Lagos, Ebonyi and Jigawa States for their support to the rice and fertilizer revolutions. Equally commendable are contributions of the Governors of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Imo, Cross River, Benue, Ogun, Kaduna and Plateau States for their support for the Presidential initiative for palm oil, rubber, cashew, cassava, potatoes and other crops. With the abundance of rainfall last year and this year, agriculture has enjoyed Divine intervention. Since December last year, this Administration has produced over 7 million 50Kg bags of fertilizer. Eleven blending plants with a capacity of 2.1 million metric tons have been reactivated. We have saved $150 million in foreign exchange and N60 billion in subsidy. Fertilizer prices have dropped from N13,000 per 50Kg bag to N5,500. Furthermore, a new presidential initiative is starting with each state of the Federation creating a minimum of 10,000 jobs for unemployed youths, again with the aid of CBN’s development finance initiatives. Power remains a huge problem. As of September 12th, production of power reached an all — time high of 7,001 Megawatts. Government is increasing its investment, clearing up the operational and financial log jam bedeviling the industry. We hope to reach 10,000 Megawatts by 2020. Key priorities include better energy mix through solar and Hydro technologies. I am glad to say that after many years of limbo, Mambilla Power Project has taken off. Elsewhere in the economy the special window created for manufacturers, investors and exporters, foreign exchange requirements has proved very effective. Since April, about $7 billion has come through this window alone. The main effect of these policies is improved confidence in the economy and better investment sentiments. The country has recorded 7 consecutive months of lower inflation, Naira rate is beginning to stabilize, appreciating from N525 per $1 in February this year to N360 today. Broad-based economic growth is leading us out of recession. Furthermore, in order to stabilize the polity, the Federal Government gave additional support to states in the form of: · State Excess Crude Account loans, · Budget Support Facility, · Stabilization Fund Release to states and local governments as follows: · N200 billion in 2015 · N441 billion in 2016 · N1 trillion in 2017 Altogether totaling N1.642 trillion. This was done to enable states to pay outstanding salaries, pensions and small business suppliers who had been all but crippled over the years. In addition, the Government’s current N500 billion Special Intervention Programme is targeting groups through; · Home Grown School Feeding Programme, · N-Power Job creation to provide loans to small-scale traders and artisans, · Conditional Cash Transfer, · Family Homes Fund and · Social Housing Scheme. CORRUPTION Fellow Nigerians, We are fully aware that fighting corruption was never going to be a straightforward task. We expected corrupt elements to use any weapon to fight back, mainly judicial obstruction and political diversion. But we are determined to eradicate corruption from our body politic. In this fight, the Government has: · Empowered teams of prosecutors, · Assembled detailed databases, · Accelerated the recovery of stolen funds. The Administration’s new institutional reforms include: · Enforcing Treasury Single Account, · Whistle-Blowers Policy, · Integrated Payroll Personnel and Information System. We have signed multi-lateral cooperation agreements on criminal matters with friendly countries. There are signs of increasing cooperation from the Judiciary. Recently the Chief Justice of Nigeria directed Heads of all our Courts of first instance and Appeal to accelerate hearings of corruption cases and dismiss any judicial officers found to have been compromised. Justice Salami has just been appointed to chair the Judiciary’s anti-graft committee. Government expects a lot from this Committee. I commend the National Assembly for refocusing on its oversight committees. They should, in addition, ensure swift passage of enabling corruption laws. But fighting corruption is a bottom to top operation. I call on all Nigerians to combat corruption at every turn. By not asking for and refusing to accept a bribe, by reporting unethical practices or by blowing a whistle, together we can beat corruption. The government for its part will work for accountability at all levels - Federal, State and Local Governments. CHANGE will then be real. As we enter the second half of our term of office, we intend to accelerate progress and intensify our resolve to fix the country’s challenges and problems. Thank you and a happy holiday to all of you. God bless our country |
Buharimustgo:Illiterate Buhari is Nigeria President. What are you n your education father? |
Biafra Protesters storm US embassy, insist IPOB is terrorist organisation A group of protesters wielding placards, hit the US embassy to insist that IPOB is a terrorist outfit. A group of protesters under the aegis of the Coalition for the Defense of Nigeria's Sovereignty, hit the US embassy in Lagos on Friday,September 29. Chief amongst the grouse of the placard wielding protesters was the United States' position that it doesn't yet consider the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) a terrorist organisation. On September 20, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted the Federal Government an interim injunction proscribing IPOB, following recent skirmishes between separatists and the army in Southeast Nigeria. The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Abdul Kafarati, granted the injunction in chambers following an exparte application filed by Attorney General Abubakar Malami. “The United States Government is strongly committed to Nigeria’s unity. Important political and economic issues affecting the Nigerian people, such as the allocation of resources, are worthwhile topics for respectful debate in a democracy. “Within the context of unity, we encourage all Nigerians to support a de-escalation of tensions and peaceful resolution of grievances. The Indigenous People of Biafra is not a terrorist organisation under US law,” Brooks said. In taking to the streets today, Otunba Bolaji Alabi who is National President/Convener of the Coalition, said the US erred in its position on the lingering separatist agitation in Nigeria. "We are here today to protest against something that we know threatens not just our dear country, Nigeria, but also poses a risk to our culture as Yoruba. It is a culture we cherish as passionately as we respect our nationality as Nigerians", said Alabi. Protesters at the US embassy in Lagos (Wale Odunsi) He added that: "Our compatriots in south-east Nigeria, our Igbo brothers, have a challenge on their hands by way of some errant persons that are advocating for a forceful breakup of Nigeria. They are pursuing this evil enterprise under the name of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, which the Federal Government of Nigeria has properly designated to be a terrorist group. This decision has been confirmed by the court in accordance with what the anti-terrorism law prescribes. "We were taken aback when the United States of America said IPOB is not a terrorist organization. We find the position of the United States abhorrent and highly condemnable in the light of the psychological and emotional trauma that this terrorist group has caused us collectively as a people. Even in the US, every single thing that members of this terrorist group have done in recent weeks will lead to jail terms. Protesters at the US embassy in Lagos (Wale Odunsi) "The United States should desist from making decisions from the comfort of its echo chamber, in which it only hears itself without the benefit of appreciating what the end recipients of the situation under consideration go through. In this regard, the hate speech hurled at Yoruba by IPOB members online alone qualify as terrorism. They have repeatedly referred to us as "yorobastards" "yoropigs" "yaribads"and other derogatory appellations. "The disdain with which this terrorist organization hold us as a people was deplorable to the extent that IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, directed his members to kill Yoruba after branding us as colluding with the Hausa/Fulani. "Below are a few instances of him threatening us as a people: "No Igbo man should attend any Church where the pastor is a Yoruba man, they are criminals and fools"; "Any Igbo Person who attends any Church Pastored by a Yoruba Man is an slowpoke"; "Pastor Kumuyi should be stoned and dealt with thoroughly if he comes to Aba for his planned crusade"; "Nigeria is a zoo and everybody living in that Godforsaken zoo deserves to die"; "Nigeria should prepare for war, we are coming to annihilate you, my secret service are already studying the zoo and strategising." "IPOB has also been attempting to recruit and radicalize Yoruba youths to create a version of the terror group in the south-west of Nigeria oblivious to our nationalistic spirit and staunch belief in the unity of Nigeria. It was these brainwashed youths that had unsuccessfully attempted making demands for Oodu'a Republic, which does not enjoy any backing among us. "The culture of hate speech being promoted by IPOB, which it is teaching these youths is alien to us as we are taught to be respectful and considerate of other humans. "We wonder what would be the fate of anyone that repeatedly incite others to violence through the promotion of hate speech and go the extra mile to actualize the threats as we witnessed in Rivers State when IPOB terrorists were stopping commercial buses and singling out non-Igbo passengers, including Yoruba, for attacks. "These IPOB's activities have already negatively affected the economy and unleashed hardship on the population from which Yoruba are not immune. This situation is unacceptable and we do not see why any country will offer support to a terrorist group that is responsible for human suffering on this scale. "We have decided as a people that our lot is in a united and indivisible Nigeria. It is inconceivable that we change who we are as Yoruba because some terrorists have been bolstered by the US. To be so insulted, derided, attacked and killed by IPOB terrorists for this conviction is unacceptable". The Coalition for Nigeria's Sovereignty also added that the United States will be labelled a sponsor of terrorism in Nigeria if it doesn't review its position on IPOB. "It was on this note that we commended the court's declaration of IPOB as a terrorist organisation; if the United States thinks and says otherwise then we have no option than to begin to treat that country as a state sponsor of terrorism. "May we also point out that stakeholder may know the start of this contention but no one knows where it would head or where it would end. IPOB is already exporting its violence as seen in Bengaluru, India on September 24, 2017 when violence by members of the terror group left one person dead and property destroyed. "The US is home to many Nigerians and it is a matter of time before IPOB export its violence to that country and we boldly warn the US to watch out in Houston, Texas, where IPOB has vibrant cells. "Our thoughts are that the United States corrects its mistake within reasonable time so that IPOB would not use its position as an excuse to spread its violence and hatred to other parts of the world. We are closely monitoring to see how soon the US would do the right thing by distancing itself from a terror organisation that has the Yoruba in its cross-hairs". The activities of IPOB have been banned in Igboland by Governors of the region. The army has also taken a tough stance against the Nnamdi Kanu led group, labelling their actions as constituting terrorism. @Pulse http://www.pulse.ng/news/local/ipob-protesters-say-america-is-sponsoring-terrorism-in-naija-id7396798.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=daily-2017-09-30&utm_term=newsletter%20daily |

Cyynthia:You have lost your sense to stupidity and self inflicted foolishness. At your age u don't know that one senator or house of representative member will sponsor a bill for referendum? SE has 15 senators n 45 Reps. Referendum doesn't fall from the sky. So I don't know what you mean by Nigerian government being afraid? |

fk001:God bless you |
PointB:Did I not warn you to pass? You can't stay with finding trouble |
This picture appeared online today. It shows PMB hosting or addressing the other world leaders while they look at him in amazement. I may not know the particular location this picture was taken but it seems the world now has great respect for Nigeria and PMB. Meanwhile, if you can't say something reasonable, just pass oh.

The latest army operation in the Southeast is code-named “Operation Python Dance II”. Since President Muhammadu Buhari assumed the reins of leadership in May 2015, the army has carried out quite some operations as it continues to protect the nation’s territorial integrity. Here they are: 1. Operation Lafiya Dole: This code name literally translates to ‘Peace by all means’ in Hausa. Operation Lafiya Dole is the army’s code name for the war on terror in Nigeria’s northeast. It was launched by Chief of Army Staff, Major General Tukur Buratai in July 2015 as a replacement for “Operation Zaman Lafiya” (Let’s live in peace). 2. Operation Sharan Daji: This operation was launched in July 2015 to tackle recurring incidents of livestock rustling and armed banditry in the Northwest region of Nigeria. 3. Operation Awatse: Launched in the Southwest to tackle militants and oil installation vandals around the Arepo, Ishawo and Elepete creeks in Lagos and Ogun States. Operation Awatse was implemented by a combined team from the Airforce and Navy with plenty of support from army boots on the ground. 4. Operation Shirin Harbi: Launched in 2015 to combat restiveness in Bauchi and Gombe States. Shirin Harbi was also useful as the military sought to rein in the killers in Southern Kaduna. 5. Harbin Kunama I: This was the military’s answer to cattle rustling and armed banditry in the Dansadau Forest of Zamfara State and environs. Harbin Kunama translates to “sting of a Scorpion” It was a Northwest operation launched in 2015. 6. Crocodile Smile I: This was a South-South operation flagged off in August 2015. Its aim is to improve operational effectiveness in the creeks and halt the destructive activities of oil thieves and militants. This operation sought to rein in Niger Delta militants crippling Nigeria’s oil installations. 7. Python Dance I: A Southeast operation with Anambra State as its base. Python Dance I lasted over a month and its objective was to check the spate of robberies, kidnappings and cultism in and around Anambra. 8. Harbin Kunama II: Northwest and North central operation launched in July 2017. Its brief was similar to Harbin Kunama I—deal with Cattle rustling, armed banditry and clashes between pastoralists and farmers. 9. Operation Dokaji: Another Northwest and North central drill with similar objectives to Harbin Kunama. Launched in July 2017. Operation Egwu Eke (aka Python Dance II): Ongoing operation with the mandate to check kidnappings, robberies, cultism and of course secessionist agitations in Southeast Nigeria. Abia State is its operational base. Python Dance II will last a month. |
Yelabechi:I don't respond to issues like this since we have so many junk messages but I feel in anyway, people may learn. If you have found out that your mum can't stay in that marriage again, please assist her to seek divorce in a proper way. Whether your Dad is Randy or not, it's immaterial in African context. If you don't want to loose her, please help your mum to move out of your dad's house before seeing any man. |
