Nigeria's biggest problem isn't the poli-thievecians rather the uncountable gullible citizens that keeps cheering for well certified thieves and even voting for some of them to preside over them despite the fact that they are fully aware of their criminal and retrogressive antecedents.

Any Nigerian expecting these crop of career thieves called politicians in Nigeria to better their lots through altruistic purposeful leadership is endemically credulous.

Finding a saint nigerian politician is like looking for a virgin in a brothel,it's practically impossible,just that some are worse than others

An Australian miner Hugh Morgan who heads a
private mining syndicate, claims to have
discovered a ‘high grade’ nickel deposit in
Dangoma, a small farming community about
160km northeast of the nation’s capital Abuja.

According to Australian national news daily,
The Australian, the nickel balls, rumoured to
grade better than 90 per cent nickel and
thought to be a world first given their
widespread distribution, offer the potential for
early cash flow.

The discovery according to the newspaper isunusual because the nickel is found in small balls up to 3mm in diameter of a high purity in shallow soils in what could be the surface expression of a much bigger hard-rock nickel field. The newspaper says details on the find are still sketchy.

The Bill seeks to:
1) Amends Section 34(3) which stipulates that
procurement process should be minimum of six
months. And what is wrong with this? If you use 6 months to do procurement, when will your consignment arrive? I'm even surprised that it is even in our constitution in the first instance. No wonder things take ages to fix in this clime. Sometimes ago, I worked with a FG agency and as part of my feedback, I requested that an additional table and a chair should be provided in a particular office. The head of the agency told me that it would take 8 months to grant my request.

2) Give powers to give contractors 50 per cent
mobilization fees unlike 15 per cent obtainable today. I want to do work for you, you're giving me 15%. And you want me to do a good job. Where will I see the remaining 85%? Is this not invitation to corruption? You want me to do 419 or use substandard raw materials? No wonder they do roads and everything will pafuka under 1 year.

3) Fast-track the process of sale or lease of public assets e.g. the presidential jets. Nigeria has a lot of assets that can be sold to reflate the economy. But the process to lease or sell the assets will take one year. He believes that there is no need keeping those assets if the nation can generate over $50 billion through lease and sales,” This is an A asterisk score for the President. No more to add.

4) Amend visa process to include ability to obtain visa on arrival AND to ensure that henceforth, tourist and business visas are issued within 48 hours at all the consular offices of Nigeria. This is another 10 over 10 move by Mr President.How anyone would link this with dictatorial tendency is beyond my understanding.
5) Amend the UBEC Act so as to free the N58 billion trapped in the Fund as a result of the inability of the states to pay 50 per cent counterpart funding. All of 58 billion naira is trapped in some accounts because of counterpart funding issue while basic
education rots away. Is it the states that are
struggling to meet up with salary that would pay one yeye counterpart funding to access UBE funds? I hope we're not deceiving ourselves. Even with the imperfect system we're running, 58 billion would make its twin mark on the economy and basic education.

6) Prepare agencies to respond promptly to licence registration. This will allow entrepreneurs to apply for registration and get approval within seven days. Failure of which, the applicant is deemed licensed after seven days without hearing from the agencies such as the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). My business registration with CAC is currently taking ages. I may need to wait for this bill to be passed so I can sue somebody who has been wasting my time at
the CAC. I can't wait. Somebody will soon hear from my lawyers.

They think we have forgotten:

-Then President Jonathan sacked the President of the Appeal court because he refused to compromise on the case involving the ruling party and ruling that forensic examination be allowed on materials used for the 2011 Presidential election. Even when the NJC asked that he be reinstated, Jonathan refused yet, he is your HERO OF DEMOCRACY.

- All the security details attached to then Speaker of House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal were withdrawn by the Federal Government led by Jonathan yet, you still didn't see any reason not to worship him.

- For weeks in 2014, the Governor of Kano State kept shouting that security aides posted to watch over the state house were recalled as a result of orders from above, not once did you accuse Jonathan of tyranny.

- For appointing Sanusi Lamido as Emir of Kano which was within the rights and powers of the Kano State Government, Jonathan ordered security agents to lay siege at the Emir's palace. For days, the Emir operated from the Kano State Government House. You didn't call Jonathan by the dictatorship that he was acting out then.

- Jonathan withdrew the security details attached to then Governor Amaechi, Jonathan grounded the plane of Amaechi, Jonathan masterminded and hugely supported the division and crisis in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Jonathan allowed his wife to govern Rivers from Abuja, Jonathan used Mbu to embarrass and harass a sitting Governor, Jonathan crippled Rivers because Amaechi was the Governor yet, you still see Jonathan as a demigod.

- In this same country, we saw how Jonathan supported the destruction of the once vibrant Governors' Forum by supporting 16 against 19 yet, you see him as one decent man who should be seen as a Hero.

- We have not forgotten how Jonathan used state power to prevent sitting Governors from reaching a part of the country to support the reelection of one of their own because they were in the opposition and you who is laying claim to fairness and pretending to love Democracy still claim you miss this same character.

- In this same country, we saw the circulation of an undisputed video by an army officer detailing how soldiers were used to rig the election in Ekiti State to favour the thug governing the state today and yet, you see same Jonathan who was Commander in Chief of all these barbarism as decent enough to be called a hero.

- In his desperation to see the Governor Nyako impeached, The Presidency under Jonathan had the accounts of Adamawa State frozen. A State Government account oh and not personal account of the Governor and not once did you condemn the action nor call Jonathan the dictator he clearly was then.

- Same Jonathan you can almost worship today single handedly denied his then state Governor Timipre Sylva the right to seek the nomination of his party because he had personal grievances against him yet, you never for once accused him of abuse of power.

- For the first time in our history as a country, the CBN Governor was unilaterally sacked by the President without following the due process of our law because he asked questions regarding careless stealing of the nation's money supervised and supported by Jonathan yet, you never called Jonathan the dictator he clearly was.

- As far as I can remember, the only people EFCC managed to temporarily wake up from their five years slumber under Jonathan to work on were those who criticized him and as soon as they changed gear, EFCC return back to their slumber yet, not once did you accuse him of bias nor selectivity.

As far as I know, Fayose is yet to deny that he received the alleged money traced to his account from Dasuki. What he is crying over is immunity and you who has never seen one million naira cash of your own is busy supporting him and shouting persecution. As you always say then, use the courts.

That you now call Buhari a Dictator while you still worship Jonathan must surely be giving the devil hope that he may not actually...

Stop making a fool of yourself.

SPEECH DELIVERED BY THE NEW Ag.
INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE, IBRAHIM
KPOTUN IDRIS, Mni, Psc, ON WEDNESDAY, 22ND OF JUNE, 2016 AT THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE HEADQUARTERS, ABUJA.
It is with great pleasure and sense of responsibility I address you this morning as the new Ag. Inspector General of Police of our beloved great country. I want to thank Almighty Allah for this day and want to show my utmost thanks and appreciation to the President,
Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the Chairman of the Nigeria Police Council, President Muhammad Buhari, GCON, for having the trust and confidence in me and for appointing me to this exalted position. I promise not to fail this nation in our quest to make the citizens of this Country safer and also to ensure that our nation remained united and peaceful. I want to use this
opportunity to inform you of our policy direction in the management of our Police Force from this day.

The Nigeria Police Force will henceforth be guided by the international core values of policing with integrity, ensuring that the rule of law prevails in our actions and activities, and to strictly respect diversity, courage, compassion and professionalism. The Nigeria Police also would operate within the principles of Democratic Policing which is an institution that is
responsive, respresentive and accountable to its
citizens at all times. The Nigeria Police Force will henceforth, have as its main focus, integrity and accountability as its cardinal operational principle in all its actions and will be
decisive on any of its personnel that deviate from its core values.In order to establish and maintain high standard of behaviour in our official conduct and to eliminateimpunity and ensure transparency in the application
of the above core values, we will ensure that the
following activities will be carried out immediately by
this administration: - 1. Responsive Police Institution: - It will be against
work ethics henceforth for any Police Commander at
any Command level to treat complaints with levity,
and complaint received from members of the public
must be treated within shorted possible time to the
satisfaction of the complainant. This is in line with one of the principles of democratic policing which
states that a democratic police institution must be
responsive to the yearnings of the community. 2. Transparency and Accountability in the
Management of Police cooperative and Police
insurance schemes:-
The management of Police Cooperative and
insurance schemes which are investments made by
the members of the force will henceforth be made more transparent and accountable to the generality of
the police personnel, especially the ranks and file
who constitute the largest contributors. A lot can be
achieved in our efforts to enhance the welfare of the
police personnel through genuine utilization of these
two investments. The accounts of these institutions bodies will be made more transparent and
accountable to the entire members of the force, and
contributors will have more say in the running of
these accounts and on how their investments will be
utilized on daily basis. 3. Strengthening of the Police X-Squads Units to fight
corruption amongst civil servants: - In our effort to
give a boost to the current administration’s war on
corruption, the Police management will strengthen the
police x-squad units in the Police Commands with the
deployment of thoroughly vetted, selfless and patriotic officers to tackle corruption and abuse of
office within the police organization and amongst the
Federal, States and local government levels. The
personnel deployed to this anti-corruption unit will be
supported with incentives to make them more
effective in the discharge of their duties. 4. Cheap and Affordable Housing for Ranks and File:-
This administration will leave no stone unturned to
look into the issue of provision of cheap and
affordable accommodation for the police ranks and
file to own individually. 5. Availability of Police Uniforms and accoutrement:-
Making uniforms and accoutrement available for
members of Ranks and File will be a priority of this
administration. Henceforth, appearance of every
police officer will be taken seriously. 6. Payment of Salaries:- Prompt and timely payment
of salaries of serving personnel will a cardinal
objective to be vigorously pursued by this
administration. I promise that we will ensure that the
police are not at disadvantaged position compared to
other Security Agencies in terms of salaries and other entitlements. 7. Establishment of Forensic Laboratories in the six
geopolitical zones in the country: - In order to
enhance the investigative capacity of the Nigeria
Police, concerted effort will be made to establish at
least one police forensic laboratory in each of the six
geopolitical zones of the country. This will boost the capacity of the police to effectively and efficiently
investigate and prosecute crime within the
organization. 8. Establishment of Joint Operation Centres in States
Police Commands:- Coordination with other security
agencies is very critical at this period of security
challenges in the country. Therefore, there shall be
established in every Police Command headquarters a
joint operation center for effective coordination and synergy with other security agencies to adequately
respond to major crises 24/7. This will bring our daily
operations closer and will build more trust and
confidence amongst us. 9. Establishment of Criminal Database in all Police
Divisions Nationwide:- Effective criminal database in
police divisions will enhance the police capacity for
effective investigation of criminal cases in Nigeria.
This administration will establish database in all
Police divisions in the country. 10. Reorganization and Restructuring of Special Anti-
Robbery Squads:- Violent criminality is gradually
taking over our streets, neighborhoods and
communities. In order to address these ugly
challenges, the Special Anti-Robbery Squads in the
State Commands will be restructured, reorganized and made more robust to reverse these ugly trends in
our communities. The personnel deployed to these
squads will be trained, retrained and motivated
accordingly to perform their duties. 11. Reorganization and Restructuring of Police
Special Units (PMF AND CTU);- The time has come
for the Nigeria Police to play more active role in the
unity and stability of this great country. This can only
be achieved through the reorganization and
restructuring of the Special Police Units of Mobile Force and Counter Terrorism Units. This
administration will vigorously pursue the
reorganization and restructuring of these Units so as
to make them more professional and organized. The
following will be vigorously pursued: 11.1 Deployment of Special Units:- Hence forth,
deployment of special unit’s personnel to individual
businessmen and private companies must be
critically reviewed, these units are established to
tackle serious security challenges in the country such
as riots, terrorisms, and counter insurgency operations. Their deployment will be focused on the
locations where we experience the challenges 11.2 Capacity Building: - Efforts will be vigorously
pursued to provide capacity to these special units in
form of professional training on human rights, use of
force, operational deployment procedures and other
subjects that are applicable to their duties. 11.3 Housing of Police Special Units in Barracks:-
Concerted effort will equally be pursued to ensure the
provision of barracks to house all personnel of Police
Special Units such as PMF and CTU. This will be a
major focus of this administration. This will enhance
the effectiveness and efficiency of these units. Housing them in the barracks will enable quick
mobilization and will also enhance their cohesiveness
as a police striking force. 12. Posting Of Female Officers in Command
Positions in States ;- One of the Principles of
Democratic policing is a police institution that is
responsive, representative and accountable to its
citizens. Therefore, because the female population in
Nigeria accounts for about fifty percent of the population of this country, emphasis will be in place
for the posting of female police officers in command
positions. This will boost the morale of female Police
officers. 13. Establishment of Eminent Persons Forums in the
States of the Federation: - As part of Community
policing strategies to tackle ethnic and religious
upheavals that have bedeviled several parts of the
country, the Nigeria Police in collaboration with States shall
establish Eminent Person’s/ Stakeholders’ forum in
every Police Command to help in mediation in to
security challenges. The Forum will be composed of
retired civil servants, Religious leaders, retired senior
security officers and traditional/community leaders. They will assist in mediation and social controls
during security challenges in any part of the country.
This forum shall meet periodically and reports
forwarded to the police headquarters for necessary
action. I therefore solicit the support of our elder
Statesmen in our various communities to consider this look at this as their contribution to the general
peace and stability of the country. Finally, I wish to call on every citizen of this great
country to support and cooperate with the police to
make Nigeria safer and more united. As we are all
aware, the security of our communities is the
responsibility of all of us, I seek the support of every
citizen to give the Nigeria Police Force maximum cooperation to ensure that this country shall continue
to be more united and prosperous.
Once again I want to thank Mr. President for the
confidence and promised to effectively discharge this
onerous responsibility.
May Almighty Allah continue to bless this great country and guide the President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
Long live Nigeria Police Force. Long live Federal
Republic of Nigeria. Thank you and God bless. —

Not the north but the whole nation is about to witness another power tussle. I really hate to say this but I think the north is damm too stupid to be trusted with power. Twice now they have presented dying sick old men as presidential candidates, I raised this issue that why is it that obj always presents and supports dying sick old northerners anytime it is time for the north to present a presidential candidates. Shagari,yar adua and buhari were all actively supported by obj and all were weak men.

That sick yaradua did what the healthy ib couldn't in 6yrs

That's a Christian student behind and a Muslim student with Obama in the same American public school. Osun CAN think twice. Tolerance is the key word

.

Thank God. I am raised to be objective and fair to all
and sundry. To me, this Emeka Okeke that
confessed to the murder of Colonel Inusa is just
another criminal who could have come from any
religion or tribe in this country.
However, just assume that it is the other way round : A criminal Inusa killing a Colonel Okeke. The press
would have been agog with the latest "assault on an
Igbo man through an orchestrated plan by the
overbearing North". The Ohanaeze Ndigbo would
have called a press conference to condemn the
"calculated genocide". All the bogey human rights outfits would have been struggling to outdo each
other in condemning the heinous crime. The Biafran
agitators would have issued a press release, which
the press would circulate with glee. The Governor of
Inusa's state would be so cowed and intimidated that
he would issue an official apology to the Government and people of Ebonyi state for something which the
Government and people of Kano State are neither
responsible nor disposed to.
Okeke 's mother would have suddenly become an
expert in Northern Affairs and would tell the press
how Northerners are assigned to kill any Igbo military man for a reward.
The brouhaha would have dragged on and on. The
voice of the sizeable number of right thinking
Southerners who see things the way they are would
have been drowned by those of the wailing wailers.
God bless the objective minded.

Is Blasphemy Punishable by Death in Islam?
By Dr Pantami
According to Dr. Aslam Abdullah there is nothing in
the Quran or the authentic teaching of Prophet
Muhammad justifying the killing of people for opposing, criticising, humiliating or showing
irreverence toward holy personages, religious
artifacts, customs and beliefs of Islam.
If blasphemy was punishable by death in Islam, then
the Prophet would have been the first one to order the
killing of hundreds of his foes who later became his closest companions. With the exception of a very few
earlier Arabs who accepted the Prophet as the
Messenger of Allah , the majority of people of
Makkah opposed him, humiliated him, cursed or
blasphemed him or even tried to kill him, yet he
preferred to practice forgiveness and to seek the divine mercy for them.
The old woman who used to throw garbage on the
Prophet was visited by him when he did not see her
throwing it any more to learn that she was not well.
When Suhail bin Amr, a poet who composed poetry
blaspheming the Prophet was taken as a prisoner of war after the battle of Badr, the Prophet asked his
companions to show kindness to him. There are
examples after examples to prove that the Prophet
was never resorted to violence against those who
were showing utter disrespect to him.
The Quran and the authentic teachings of the Prophet describe the practice of showing irreverence to God
and his messenger as acts of ignorance, deliberate
provocation or hatred. Yet the two sources of Islamic
guidance never proposed punitive action on the basis
of theological dissent or religious differences or
irreverence. Some Muslim jurists, have, often misused the institution of ijtihad to serve the emotive
interests of the people. The fatwa or religious decree
issued by Khomeini proposing murder of Salman
Rushdie was a personal opinion with no support from
the divine guidance.
The assassination of people that blaspheme is a stab in the heart of Islam and a humiliation of the Prophet
by those who claim to be his followers. Those who
are supporting his killing or similar actions are the
worst enemy of Islam who neither understands Islam
nor respects the Prophet . No matter who they are,
they must be challenged on the basis of the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet .
It is time that Muslim scholars from all over the world
revisit issues such as blasphemy and apostasy in the
light of the Quran and sunna rather than falling victim
to positions that can not be substantiated by the
divine writ.
