PoliticsRe: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by hooged: 9:09am On Jan 05, 2012
2 Bomb blasts hit northeast Nigeria, Maiduguri; gun
battle despite Jonathan’s state of emergency
Special to USAfrica, USAfricaonline.com, the USAfrica-
powered e-groups of Nigeria360, UNNalumni,
and CLASSmagazine Houston
Thursday Jan 5, 2012 7:02am GMT; Maiduguri (Reuters)
– Two bomb blasts shook the northeastern Nigerian city
of Maiduguri on Wednesday, and a gun battle in
another town killed at least one civilian, police said, the
first uptick in violence since President Goodluck
Jonathan imposed a state of emergency on Saturday.
Heavily armed
troops and tanks
have been patrolling
parts of northeast
Nigeria since
Jonathan decreed a
state of emergency
there in an effort to
contain a growing
Islamist insurgency
led by shadowy
group Boko Haram.
The group claimed
responsibility for a
series of bomb attacks across Nigeria on Christmas Day,
including one at a church that killed at least 37 people
and wounded 57.
The blasts raised fears that Boko Haram, a movement
styled on the Taliban whose name means “Western
education is forbidden”, is trying to ignite sectarian
strife in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and top
oil producer.
The state of emergency covers the northeast, the
conflict-prone central city of Jos, and part of Niger state
near Abuja. Borders with Cameroon, Chad and Niger in
the northeast have been shut.
A Reuters witness heard two blasts on Wednesday
evening in Maiduguri, heartland of the Boko Haram
insurgency. A security source, who could not be named,
said two bombs had hit the perimeter fence of the
Nigeria customs facility near the Gamboru vegetable
market, but caused little damage and no injuries.
Earlier, a girl was killed in the crossfire of a gun battle
between security forces and suspected Boko Haram
militants in the town of Birnawa, in the northeastern
state of Jigawa.
Jigawa state police commissioner Hashim Salihu
Argungu told Reuters: “Our men were able to confront
them. Only one girl was killed by stray bullet and one of
our men was shot in the leg and he is receiving
treatment.”
Local press published a statement purportedly from
Boko Haram this week warning the north’s sizeable
Christian minority to leave or be killed, further
heightening sectarian tensions in the country of 160
million split roughly evenly between Muslims and
Christians. That prompted the police on Wednesday to
issue a statement “all law abiding citizens to remain
peaceful, calm and to go about their lawful businesses
without fear of intimidation.”
“Nigeria is one united and indivisible entity where
citizens are at liberty to reside where they desire and
practise whatever faith (they wish),” Police Inspector-
General Hafiz Ringim said.

Too bad
PoliticsUgly Signs Of Yoruba Marginalisation by hooged(op): 7:46am On Dec 24, 2011
GETTING to write this piece is not the easiest thing for
me, not because I worry about the silly labelling it
would automatically attract from those who would
rather not have the issue addressed, particularly the
“marginalisers” themselves, but because there is a
sense in which it raises possible contradiction to my
advocacy for meritocracy and for regional
emancipation that would surpass or render more
meaningless the federal honey-pot.
But the truth must be told, and unless and until Nigeria
wakes up to redefining herself wakes
up to the urgency to drastically alter the structure of
the polity and government, then our problem should
not be compounded by brazen disregard for the rules
of even the present arrangement.
When I received an e-mail from a friend enumerating
the absurdity, the first thing I asked myself before
setting out to give exposure to what is clearly a
systematic if not systemic denial of the Yoruba from
virtually all critical areas of Federal Government is if
my reaction would have been the same were some
other ethnic groups the victims. I satisfied myself that I
would have been so equally aghast to the measure of
their population ratio within the polity. And I don’t
need to convince anyone else of that.
I am going ahead to quote copiously from the report I
received, which has also gone out to many a
concerned compatriot.
It took off asking: “Is there a calculated marginalisation
of the Yoruba in a democratic dispensation under the
leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan? Or is it
simply an oversight by the Executive, arising from an
ineffective coordination of the machinery of
government?”
To be honest if the complaint were limited to what
happens in Aso Rock or around the Presidency, I
wouldn’t bat an eyelid, for isn’t that what the present
(presidential) structure enjoys, if not enjoins? Isn’t that
why every ethnic group struggles to have their man
right up there?
Of course the situation wasn’t necessarily so in
Obasanjo’s time as I am reminded by the petitioner of
Obasanjo’s out of-the-way “fairness” such that his
presidency embraced all ethnic groups, even with the
Igbos in ascendancy; adding that whereas the South-
West in the main voted for Jonathan in the April
presidential election. “Kano State did not vote for
Obasanjo in 2003 but was better treated in terms of
political appointment than any South-West state.”
Maybe as another friend points out, it’s an ethnic
thing and not just with Obasanjo. It seems it’s only the
Yoruba that care particularly about “fairness” or
“balance” in this contraption called Nigeria, reminding
me of the story narrated by Gen. Oluwole Rotimi in
this column last week where, out of the seven names
to be sent for the coveted Staff college training, Gen.
lronsi as GOC sent five Ibos, one Hausa and one
Yoruba, leaving him (Rotimi) out even when he was
senior to all the other non-Yoruba officers!
But the relegation of the Yoruba is more pervasive
than just around the presidency and runs into
government agencies, parastatals, corporations, etc.
The petitioner writes:
“A situation where the total appointments for the
entire South-West fall short of those of certain
individual states speaks of either a deliberate effort to
ignite ethnic resentment or a glaring outcome of total
collapse of coordination in the machinery and records
of government.”
Personally, I cannot see Goodluck Jonathan having a
directly anti-Yoruba agenda; after all, he is in power by
the grace of his Yoruba godfather and didn’t he
appoint a Reuben Abati to replace his kinsman, Ima
Niboro?
If President Jonathan were liable, it would only be to
the extent that. in his usual self, he looks the other way
while those around him are having a field day
executing their own insidious private or ethnic agenda:
He looks the other way and the economy is in a
shambles; he looks the other way and electricity
remains hopeless; he looks the other way and armed
robbery and insecurity are rife; he looks the other way
and our oil is stolen and mismanaged blind; he looks
the other way and the country totters in tatters’
My friend raises the alarm that “available data indicate
that the Yoruba have lost more than half of their
appointive positions since the demise of President Yar’
Adua.”
And. as if mirroring my mind on the need for
competence and merit above other considerations. he
asserts:
“The current disproportionately reduced or non-
appointment of Yoruba into vacant government
positions is not due to lack of qualified and
experienced men and women of integrity in their
numbers and quality across all spheres of human
endeavour in the South-West. Indeed as if to aggravate
matters for a nation in dire need of competent men
and women of integrity what the Yoruba have been
made to lose in terms of numbers in appointive
positions is made worse for the nation in the quality of
some of the replacement appointments.
And here are the samples of key national offices and
the state of origin of their leadership as supplied by
the petitioner:

President (North-West); Senate President (North-

Osun Indigenes Commend Aregbesolafor Resurrecting Train

Osun State indigenes living in and outside the state have commended Governor Rauf Aregbesola for his commitment to improve railway system in the state, as a means of transporting goods and services.

Indigenes of the state, who returned to the state from Lagos, Ilorin and Ibadan, through railway system last Friday and Saturday, expressed their happiness on the improvement on the use of train in the state.

The travelers said traveling by trains has lessened the cost for transportation, saying that they spent lesser money using the trains, when compared to traveling by commercial buses.

According to a resident of Ikotun in Lagos State, Alhaja Rafiat Ademola, there was an improvement in the use of trains, saying that many people traveled to Osun State by trains for the Eid ElKabir festival.

Ademola said; “I noticed that more trains have been coming to Osun and other states like Kwara. I decided to travel by train when I discovered that traveling by rail was cheaper than patronising commercial buses during the festive season.

For instance, I was charged N2500 for my transportation and luggage fee at a motor parkat Ikotun, Lagos, while trying to come to Osogbo by bus. I later decided to travel with the train when I could not bear the bus cost. I paid only N500 for my transportation”.

She therefore commended Aregbesola for resurrecting the use of train in the state, maintaining that road accident would be reduced with the use of railway system of transportation.

Speaking with OSUN DEFENDER at the Railway Station, Old Garage, Osogbo, a resident of Ilorin, Kwara State, Mr Abdul-Rahman Oriola, also called on the Federal Government to commit funds to the rehabilitation of railway system in the country.

While commending Aregbesola for his commitment to resurrecting train usage in the state, Oriola said travelers would spend less, while traveling by train.
