_*Please read word2word*_

Good Morning Friends,
We all woke up this morning to receive the news of

“1 month freezing of all confirmed marvos”. This is quite unfortunate but a neccesary measure. However, this piece is my due research and opinion.

What does “freezing of unconfirmed marvos” mean?

It means you won’t be allowed to GH for the period stipulated. However we can still PH.

What is the implication of this?
It means that when we PH at this time we wont be merged because there will be no one Ghing. However, your will be credited with the resultant marvos of your PH. That is why you can see how much marvo you have but can’t GH it now.

Why the freezing?
The freezing is necessary for the sustainabilty of the system. In the previous meetings Mr Andrew say SUSTAINABILTY AND STABILITY of the system is the focus in 2017. So to achieve these goals, it is pertinent that the system is protected.
It is a known fact that most participants PHed targeting the festive period to GH. Even me too did same, infact I PHed purposely to prepare for my wife’s delivery and the naming but in the face of this situation am still stead fast.
If we all GH heavily this festive season, we wont meet an MMM that is paying us in 2017 because there will be more GH than PH as participants wont PH more this time (therefore pause mode will be activated).
Also, the issues of fake POP, delay in response from CRO and moratoruim issue need time to be properly tackled. As all guiders know Mr Andrew said programmers are working to make these issues handled in 24hrs, which is good.

*VARIOUS OPINIONs*

1. Some people are of the opinion that we should have been informed but I say NO….
If we were informed the system will crash immediately because no matter how much Admin explains people will rush to GH and then stop PHing. This scenerio will crash MMM this Dec.

2. Some people say Guiders should have been the ones alone to be frozen. While this is a very good idea, I still wont agree…. The ratio of guiders to participant is 1:100. The number of guiders is less to the whole community. 1 guider manages a minimum of 10 people. The PH of these 10 people in most cases is more than what the guider will PH. In time of GH the system will pay the 10 DLs more than the guider.
Eg. To pay the guider the system will give him 30% of his marvos + 100% (referral bonus) = 130%
But if the system is to pay the DLs it will be 30% x 10 =300% Now which is bigger.
However, this might not be a perfect scenerio but it will give us an insight into the issue at hand.
Also, there is no way particpants should be frozen and then leave the guiders. No way!

3. Some people are of the opinion that it should have been next week….. I wont say I understand how you feel but this option is risky. If you look at the time frame of the freezing it about 2 weeks to the end of the year and 2 weeks to the beginnig of next week. They are deliberately avoiding the rush hour GHing for the festive season and rush hour GHing from lack of money in January. So the time farme is to play safe.

4. Some people say now it is true MMM has gone on Holiday Pause Mode…..This is not true. The rumour earlier about pause mode was talking about 24-26th December because of bank holidays. This is not an Holiday Pause Mode. So please lets stop that school of thought.

5. Some people are of the opinion that with this new measure a lot of people will not PH again…..Maybe and Maybe not. Have we ever thought why the additional 20% was given as bonus? It means whoever believe in this community even in this time will get 50% growth to His/Her PH. This also tells us that this plan has been there before now, it was not taken impromtu, it was carefully planned.
So I PH 1 million now by Jan 14 2017, I will GH 1.5million. That’s the plan.

WHAT ARE OUR RESPONSIBILTIES AT THIS TIME

 Our most important responsibility is to avoid fear and kill panic. The more we fear the more the panic will rise.
 Now is the time when our knowledge of MMM will be needed both guiders and participants alike.
 Now is the time when negative publications should not move us no matter who is saying what or who is writing what.
 Now is the time for guiders most especially to enlighten their DLs and attend to their fears at all times.

FINAL WORDS
We need to know that the media can’t break us if we have one voice. As a trained journalist that I am, we were taught that “bad news is good news” so I am to certain that bloggers will feed on this quickly and with vigor. But we also need to stand with courage, reseilence and believe that financial freedom is our end goal.
Also, I am not in anybody’s shoe to know how this will affect any one but I will only advocate that we be patient and see the end goal and not the now.

Together we change the world

Thanks for the info

It’s not news that men will do a lot to please women they are interested in.
Most men act childish when they are really in love and this has cost them a great deal. It is not bad to please a woman but over doing it makes one stupid. As a man, you must be smart enough to read in between the lines to know what’s favorable and what’s not.

We are not saying you shouldn’t be romantic, it is a good thing to be romantic but not to the detriment of yourself and you should know that, just because something might be done in the name of love does not make it the right thing to do and these are the few you should try as much as possible to avoid or never be tempted to do for a woman, regardless.

1. Steal For Her
Obviously, we all know where this will end you and by the time you will be back, someone might have taken your place. Never allow anything to push you to steal in order to please your woman because if she later finds out you actually stole a gift for her, she might drop you, unless of course, you are in it together like Bonny and Clyde.
 

2. Pay For Her Education
It is not a bad thing to support her education, if you can help but to take full responsibility for everything to your own detriment can be dangerous. We are all humans and we change from time to time, most men actually think funding a girl’s education means they’ll be forever indebted to them, ending up getting married to them but we’ve seen several scenarios where the women will end up finding love elsewhere. This has been suicidal to many men.
 

3. Buy Her A House When You Don’t Have One
Common sense should tell you, you should build your dreams together but not favor her and think of yours later. Building a house for a woman when you don’t have one yourself can make you is wrong in every way. When she finally jilts you and lives in it with another man. There are many men still biting their fingers over this.
 

4. Fight Another Man Because Of Her
Fighting because of her doesn’t prove anything. Two things are likely to happen, either the person beats you to a pulp and end up in the hospital or you will beat the person and end up in jail, either way, you don’t win. Unless it is for self-defense.
 

5. Reject Your Family Because Of Her
A family is everything and no matter what, you can’t reject them because your woman doesn’t like them. It will be very dangerous on your part to reject your family all because of a woman.
 

6. Change Your Appearance
These days, there are many men doing a lot, taking pills to make changes to their bodies all because they feel that’s what women love. Changing you to please a woman means the moment you stop trying she’ll go, ideally, people you be with should love you for who you are.
 

7. Give Up On Your Dreams To Satisfy Her
So there are many men out there who gave up on their dreams to help their woman achieve theirs or were discouraged by women. These same women dumped them afterwards. Never do this after reading this.
 

8. Being Over-Submissive
It is nice to be sweet to your woman but always learn to set the records straight and don’t try to always appear weak to her and succumb to all her wishes in the interest of pleasing her. Truth is, women actually hate weak men and will prefer you’re sweet and sour.


9. Starve Yourself For Her
Never forfeit your food for her, at least you can share but to give all to her and go hungry, that’s not love, that’s stupidity.
 

10. Kill For Her
Never ever even think about executing such an atrocity for a woman no matter how convincing the situation is, because if you end up in jail, another man will take your position.
 

11. Die For Her, Literally
So many men have committed suicide because of a woman. What’s the sense in it when you’re finally dead and gone. Live to fight another day

When i heard about one Igbokwe writing articles that condemns anything from the Igbo tribe, i quickly made a check up on his background. I was shocked to find out that Joe Igbokwe is the junior brother of Ejiamatu Igbokwe from Nnewi.

Anyone that is well informed during the then Bakassi militia will not forget the name Eddy na nogu, he was a herbalist that worked with criminals, soaked in diabolical welfare and walfare, he was linked to the igbokwes and was on Bakassi most wanted list though Eddy was later captured and rest was history. In those era, the igbokwes led by their elder brother Ejiamatu was in control of large number of arm robbers operating in Nkwo nnewi, rumours about Ejiamatu operation gang then was how they attack houses and rob at will, they also control police men stationed in Nnewi , wonder why the Nnewians accepted bakassi with open arms.

The Igbokwes family ran away from their hometown and though Ejiamatu returned after the end of bakassi movement in 2006 but his brother Joseph became an enemy to anything called igbo.

He married a yorouba wife, took position with Lagos state as General Manager of LASIMRA and was later appointed as the Chairman of Wharf Landing Fee Collecting Authority. All he does now is to write articles that would spike violence against the igbos and other tribe.

The evil his family perpetrated in Nnewi has not been forgotten, we remember and we keep note, a person like him if it was to be in the olden days he would have been banished and term an efulefu or osu.

The wealth, ill gotten from bloodshed is what he used to buy his name into Nigeria politics , money gotten through arm robbery and thuggery. His family is the most hated and irrelevant in Nnewi and wonder why he doesn’t find it hard to condemn anything that looks like or sound igbo.

His brother Ejiamtu was linked to a bomb that exploded in nkwo Nnewi after he was challenged by Nkwo Nnewi officials for construction of illegal properties in Nkwo Market. His brother was also challenged when he wanted to form alpha citizen inorder to use thugs to collect money from traders and parks.

We Nnewians Rejected the Igbokes family because the evil they perpetrated on our land is till glaring on our faces till date and i want to summons every igbo born not to forget that the Igbokwes were once most wanted for robbery and bloodshed in igbo land and to be aware that another sheep with a lions face is now on rampage.

Nigeria Exports Religion, India Exports Cars
By Azuka Onwuka
The biggest country in Africa that the United
Kingdom colonized is Nigeria. The biggest
country that the United Kingdom colonized in
Asia is India (which then comprised the present
Pakistan and Bangladesh).
When the UK came into Nigeria and India, like
all other countries they colonized, they brought
along their technology, religion (Christianity), and
culture: names, dressing, food, language, etc.
Try as hard as the British did, India rejected the
British religion, names, dressing, food, and even
language, but they did not reject the British
technology. Today, 80.5 per cent of Indians are
Hindus; 13.4 per cent Muslims; 2.3 per cent
Christians; 1.9 per cent Sikhs; 0.8 per cent
Buddhists, etc. Hindi is the official language of
the government of India, but English is used
extensively in business and administration and
has the status of a “subsidiary official language.”
It is rare to find an Indian with an English name
or dressed in suit.
On the other hand, Nigeria embraced, to a large
extent, the British religion, British culture –
names, dressing, foods, and language – but
rejected the British technology. The difference
between the Nigerian and the Indian
experiences is that while India is proud of its
heritage, Nigeria takes little pride in its heritage,
a situation that has affected the nationalism of
Nigerians and our development as a nation.
Before the advent of Christianity, the Arabs had
brought Islam into Nigeria through the North.
Islam also wiped away much of the culture of
Northern Nigeria. Today, the North has only
Sharia Courts but no Customary Courts. So from
the North to the South of Nigeria, the Western
World and the Eastern World have shaped our
lives to be like theirs and we have lost much or
all of our identity.
Long after the British and Arabs left Nigeria,
Nigeria has waxed strong in religion to the
extent that Nigerians now set up religious
branches of their home-grown churches in
Europe, the Americas, Asia and other African
countries. Just like the Whites brought the
gospel to us, Nigerians now take the gospel back
to the Whites. In Islam, we are also very vibrant
to the extent that if there is a blasphemous
comment against Islam in Denmark or the US,
even if there is no violent reaction in Saudi
Arabia – the Islamic headquarters of the world –
there will be loss of lives and destruction of
property in Nigeria. If the United Arab Emirates,
a country with 75 per cent Muslims, is erecting
the tallest building in the world and encouraging
the world to come and invest in its country by
providing a friendly environment, Boko Haram
ensures that the economy of the North (and by
extension that of Nigeria) is crippled with bombs
and bullets unless every Nigerian converts to
Boko Haram’s brand of Islam. We are indeed a
very religious people.
Meanwhile, while we are building the biggest
churches and mosques, the Indians, South
Africans, Chinese, Europeans and Americans
have taken over our key markets: telecoms,
satellite TV, multinationals, banking, oil and gas,
automobile, aviation, shopping malls, hospitality,
etc.
Ironically, despite our exploits in religion, we are
a people with little godliness, a people without
scruples. It is rare to do business with a
Nigerian pastor, deacon, knight, elder, Brother,
Sister, imam, mullah, mallam, alhaji or alhaja
without the person laying landmines of bribes
and deception on your path. We call it PR,
facilitation fee, processing fee, transport money,
financial engineering, deal, or whatever. But if it
does not change hands, nothing gets done. And
when it is amassed, we say it is “God’s
blessings.” Some people assume that sleaze is a
problem of public functionaries, but the private
sector seems to be worse than the public sector
these days.
One would have assumed that the more
churches and mosques that spring up in every
nook and cranny of Nigeria, the higher the
morals in our society. But it is not so. The
situation is that the more religious we get, the
baser we become. Our land never knew the type
of bloodshed experienced from religious
extremists, political desperadoes, ritual killers,
armed robbers, kidnappers, internet scammers,
university cultists, and lynch mobs. Life has
become so cheap and brutish that everyday
seems to be a bonanza.
We import the petroleum that we have in
abundance, rice and beans that our land can
produce in abundance, and even toothpicks that
primary school children can produce with little or
no effort. Yet we drive the best of cars and live
in the best of edifices, visit the best places in
the world for holidays and use the most
expensive electronic and telecoms gadgets. It is
now a sign of poverty for a Nigerian to ride a
saloon car. Four-wheel drive is it!
Even government officials, who were known to
use only Peugeot cars as official cars as a sign of
modesty, have upgraded to Toyota Prado,
without any iota of shame, in a country where
about 70 per cent live below poverty. Private
jets have become as common as cars. A nation
that imports toothpicks and pins flaunts wealth
and wallows in ostentation at a time its children
are trooping to Ghana, South Africa and the UK
for university education and its sick people are
running to India for treatment.
India produces automobile and exports it to the
world. India’s medical care is second to none,
with even Americans and Europeans travelling to
the country for medical treatment. India has
joined the nuclear powers. India has launched a
successful mission to the moon. Yet bicycles and
tricycles are common sights in India. But in
Nigeria, only the wretched of the earth ride
bicycles.
I have intentionally chosen to compare Nigeria
with India rather than China, South Korea,
Brazil, Malaysia, or Singapore, because of the
similarities between India and Nigeria. But these
countries were not as promising as Nigeria at
the time of our independence.
Some would say that our undoing is our size:
the 2012 United Nations estimate puts Nigeria’s
population at 166,000 million, while India has a
population of 1.2 billion. Some would blame it
on the multiplicity of ethnic groups: we have 250
ethnic groups; India has more than two
thousand ethnic groups. Some would hang it on
the diversity in religion: we have two major
religions – Christianity and Islam; but India has
many. Some would say it is because we are
young as an independent nation: we have 52
years of independence; India has 65 years,
while apartheid ended in South Africa only in
1994.
I am a Christian, and nothing can change me
from Christianity. But I think that our country is
daily sinking into religiosity to the detriment of
godliness. Our land is sick and needs healing. “If
my people who are called by my name will
humble themselves, and pray and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways, then I will
hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and
heal their land” is still a saying that is germane
to our current situation. We need more
godliness than religion; more work and less of
hope; and more action and less of words.
Let everyone tidy up his or her corner first and
demand fervently that our leaders tidy their
areas of governance.

With the power imposed on me as the Ekwuchaowu 1 of Igbo Land and with the combined power of all tittled men in Igbo Land we denounce you Joe Igbokwe from being an Igbo man. Henceforth you seize being an Igbo man.

Technical lies

B-O-M-B-S-H-E-L-L!!! THIS WRITE UP BY FEMI ARIBISALA STILL MAKES ME CRY.
NIGERIA CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THE IGBOS..........By Femi Aribisala, Lagos.
Among the different ethnic groups in Nigeria, the Igbo are without a doubt, one of the most remarkable. So remarkable, indeed, that some have even traced their ancestry to biblical Israel, as the far-flung descendants of Jacob, the Jewish patriarch. Gad, Jacob’s seventh son, is said to have had three sons who settled in South-eastern Nigeria.
These sons; Eri, Arodi and Areli, are believed to have fathered clans in Igbo-land and to have founded such Igbo towns as Aguleri, Arochukwu, Owerri and Umuleri.
Igbo Genius.
Even the bitterest adversaries of the Igbo cannot but admit that, as a people, they are very resourceful and ingenious. Indeed, this has often been the cause of their envy and dislike by others. However, more enlightened non-Igbo Nigerians see this as a cause for celebration. While today, the centre-point of Nigeria’s manufacturing is situated in the Lagos/Ogun axis, there is no doubt that the real locomotive of Nigeria’s indigenous industrialization lies farther afield in Aba/Nnewi and in the mushrooming cottage-industries of the Igbo heartland.
Igbo-menIn one of the paradoxes of Nigerian history, the terrible civil war provoked homespun industrialization in the South-East. Military blockade left the Igbo with little alternative than to be inventive in a hurry. While Nigeria as a nation failed woefully to harness this profitably after the war, it has nevertheless ensured that the Igbo are at the forefront of Nigeria’s economic development today.
Indeed, the way we disregard “made in Aba” today is the same way we disregarded “made in Japan” yesterday. For those of us who believe against the odds that Nigeria is the China of tomorrow, we equally recognize that the ingenuity of the Igbo is an indelible part of the actualization of that manifest destiny.
Hall of Fame.
The Igbo have been a great credit to Nigeria. They have given us a great number of our favourite sons, including international statesman Nnamdi Azikiwe; military leader Odumegwu Ojukwu; regional leader Michael Okpara; vice-president Alex Ekwueme; mathematical genius Chike Obi; literary icon Chinua Achebe; world-class economist Pius Okigbo; world boxing champion Dick Tiger; international statesman Emeka Anyaoku; and world-class artist Ben Enwonwu. Permit me to include in this illustrious list even some of my very good Igbo friends: Pat Utomi, Ojo Madueke, Olisa Agbakoba, Joy Ogwu, and Stanley Macebuh.
Let us get one thing straight: Nigeria would be a much poorer country without the Igbo.
Indeed, Nigeria would not be Nigeria without them. Can you imagine the Super Eagles without the Igbo? Not likely! Who can forget Nwankwo Kanu, Jay Kay Okocha and our very own Emmanuel Amuneke?
Can you imagine Nollywood without the Igbo? Impossible! Just think of Stella Damascus-Aboderin; Rita Dominic and Mike Ezuruonye.
And then there are the diaspora Igbo who many are unaware are of Igbo descent, including concert singer and actor Paul Robeson; Oscar award-winner Forest Whitaker; mega-pastor T.D. Jakes; Olympic champion Christine Ohuruogu; and BAFTA actor award-winner Chiwetel Ejiofor.
You may well wonder why I have found it necessary to present this small litany of Igbo who-is-who. I think it is important to emphasise how the Igbo have been very vital to the Nigerian project. They have more than represented Nigeria creditably in virtually all walks of life. This makes it all the more absurd that this same people have been consistently denied the position of executive president of the country in all but six months of Nigeria’s 54 year history.
The war
The Igbo were abused and maltreated in one of the worst pogroms ever. It was not just that they were senselessly massacred in their own country; it was that they were butchered.
I remember vividly gory pictures of scores and scores of the Igbo with hands chopped up and with legs amputated. And then there were the ravages of the three-year civil-war itself, resulting in the death of millions of Igbo; many through starvation and attrition.
The end of the war brought no respite, as the Igbo were pauperized by fiscal decrees that wiped out their savings and their properties were blatantly sequestered by opportunists. All this is more than enough to destroy the spirit of any group of people. But God has been on the side of the Igbo.
It is a testament to their resilience that, in spite of this terrible affliction, they have survived, bounced back and have even triumphed in Nigeria. Forty years have now gone by. The Igbo may never forget what happened to them and, indeed, should never forget. But it is past time for them to forgive.
We Are Sorry.
This is one voice in the Nigerian wilderness saying to the Igbo from the depth of his heart: we are sorry. We are sorry for the way we mistreated you. We are sorry for the way we abused you. We are sorry for starving your children to death. We are sorry for killing your loved ones. We are sorry for stealing your properties.
We are sorry for making you feel unwanted in your own country. Please forgive us. It is time to forgive us. It is way past time for the Igbo to forgive Nigerians. We beg you in the name of God.
Paradoxically, the redemption of the Igbos to prominent national office moved apace under President Obasanjo; a Yoruba man. Recognising that Igbos are some of the most seasoned, competent and experienced public-servants, Obasanjo relied heavily on their expertise.
Thanks to Obasanjo, we got Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala at Finance, Charles Soludo at Central Bank, Obiageli Ezekwesili at Education, Ndidi Okereke at the Stock Exchange, and Dora Akunyili at NAFDAC. Indeed, Igbo statesmen came into more prominence under Obasanjo than did Yoruba statesmen. But for some strange reason, this does not seem to have succeeded in assuaging the ill-feeling of the Igbos toward the Yorubas.
Nigeria cannot survive without the Igbo.

What have they done to Dasuki? Madueke? Amaechi and many other thieves in government? This is not accepted

I smell war. You can't keep pushing these people to the wall

Kindly read this lines from Dr Paul Enenche very inspiring.

"Iron sharpens iron. So, look for the kind of
person that sharpens you. Beware who you call
your friend. Friendship is by choice and not by force. And friendship is not for fun. In the late 70's and early 80's, when believers met each other, their mode of greeting was, 'How are you,brother? Have you heard about the Welsh revival? Did you read about Evan Roberts? I saw something in 'Herald of His Coming' that just shook me. I read something about Smith
Wigglesworth. Did you hear that John Hyde stained the walls of his room with the breath of his prayer? I read that Maria Woodworth Ether was approaching a place to preach and fifty miles from the place where she was, people were falling under the anointing..."
Those were the kinds of things we said to each other. When you heard it, it set you ablaze. Your friend might say to you, 'When I read that, I locked up myself for ten hours. I did not come out'. And you look at him, 'You said how many hours? I will see you later!' You just go into the room and lock yourself up: 'What! What am I doing with my life?' And you
go on and on. That was how we sharpened each other in those days. Iron sharpeneth iron! We learned of William Booth of the Salvation Army. We learned of Charles G. Finney riding a horse through town and everyone was crying for his or her sins... We read of D.L Moody: They said, 'God is looking for a man to use, and he is looking for a man that will not care who takes the glory.' D.L. Moody, a shoe maker, said, 'By the grace of God, I will be that man'... When you read that, it sets you on fire. And if you heard it from someone who read it from somewhere and shared it with you, you would be sharpened. That was how we sharpened each other. Today,it is different. When two pastors meet, you hear things like, 'Pastor, how is the church building? Have you finished it now? I like this neck tie of yours; where did you buy it from? This
wristwatch is powerful! Who helped you to get this car? Can you assist me to get the car also? I
like it! Your suit is powerful. Is it ready-made or
someone sewed it? Who is your barber? I like the
way you cut your hair.' These the vanities believers discuss these days - things of no eternal consequences. It is very rare before you can come into the presence of a servant of God and leave edified. We rarely hear that a person went to see a man of God, a real man of God and left there challenged, with his soul set on fire. It is very very rare. My heart yearns for those days... A brother would read a book that changed his life and he would share the inspiration: Have you seen Smith Wigglesworth 'Apostle of Faith'? You need to read it. John G. Lake's 'Adventure in God'? You need to read it. Leonard Ravenhill's 'Why Revival Tarries'? 'Sodom had no Bible'? What about E.M. Bounds 'The Power of Prayer'? Charles Spurgeons 'His Power in Us'? E.W
Kenyon's 'Two Kinds of Faith'?, A.W Tozer's 'In
Pursuit of God'? Oswald J. Smiths 'The Man God
Uses'? Those were qualitative materials that we
advertised and used to change our lives... Who is it that is sharpening you? Who are the people around you sharpening your life? Please, watch your company. Some pastors had more fire until they entered the circle of friends they are in today. Watch the persons you call friends. Iron sharpens iron. Nothing sharpens
iron like iron."

Dr. Paul Enenche.
Please, share.

Only in Nigeria that curruption fights curruption. Only in Nigeria that the masses votes an illitrate and expect him to perform like Obama.

The federal government has borrowed 473 billion naira to
meet up with recurrent expenditure including paying of
salaries while it is yet to release funds for capital projects.
According to Reuters, Nigeria has already used half the
borrowing allowance it has budgeted for and has not
released any funds for capital expenditure so far this year,
as lower oil prices eat into its revenues, the country’s
finance minister said on Tuesday.


“We have serious challenges,” Finance Minister Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala said in an emailed statement. “Things have
been tough since the beginning of the year and they are
likely to remain so till the end of the year.”
The borrowed money has been spent to cover overhead,
including salaries, the minister said.
Lawmakers in Africa’s biggest economy and oil producer
last week passed a 4.49 trillion naira ($23 billion) budget
for 2015, 3.2 percent lower than last year’s spending plans.
It was forced to cut spending after global oil prices
slumped.


The budget took longer than usual getting through
parliament, worsening the cash squeeze, because of the
closely fought general elections in March, which saw
incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan defeated.
“As a result of the 50 percent decline in oil revenues, the
country has faced a difficult cash crunch … Out of the 882
billon naira budgetary provision for borrowing, the
government has borrowed 473 billion naira to meet up with
recurrent expenditure,” the finance ministry said.
Okonjo-Iweala had projected annual domestic borrowing
last year would fall to below 500 billion naira from 577
billion naira in 2013.


The borrowing requirement this year could crowd out
lending to the real economy, raising domestic interest rates
and yields on government bonds, which could hurt growth.
Forecasts for growth have already been lowered twice this
year.
The ministry said that inflation is still in single digits and
that the Nigerian economy is projected to grow by 4.8
percent this year.


Government revenues have shrunk sharply since oil sales
account for up to 80 percent of them and its currency, the
naira, has weakened drastically, despite the central bank’s
spending billions of U.S. dollars to prop it up.
The lack of funds for capital expenditure means badly
needed infrastructure development will be put on hold.
Funding for large projects such as bridges and roads had
already begun to dry up in 2014, forcing construction firms
companies with government contracts to cut back and fire
thousands of workers.

Tell your leaders to stop playing politics with peoples' life just to win useless points. This things has gone out of hand because they can no longer control what they actually plotted. You claimed to be in Nigeria and yet people outside the country already know what our government is upto and yet you pretend that you don't know, all in the name of party loyalist

TheGoodJoe:


Continue talking movie script while a lot of Nigerians died in the hands of Boko Haram with hundreds of dead bodies in Damasak alone.

Hundreds of girls and women rescued. A lot of our young soldiers dead and others in harm's way.

Amina Ali returned a broken girl, pregnant and with a baby. Yet, you guys are talking movie script. It might be a movie script to you but families are in pains and tears looking for their children.

I wish am a movie producer, I don't need to crack my brain thinking of what script to write, APC government is a good script to make a good movie. ACTION!

Dear Brothers,
Niger Delta Avengers(NDA)
Concern Militant Leaders(CML)
Egbesu Mightier Fraternity (EMF)
Isoko Liberation Front (ISL)
KUDOS TO THE MILITANTS
I want to start by giving kudos to all the brave soldiers fighting for freedom from the creeks, it will interest you as a freedom fighters to see at least one person that's officially writing to applause and welcome your activities within and outside the creeks," Sincerely speaking,you guys are doing us proud," Proud in the sense that you're not demanding for resource control as usual, instead you have shown maturity by fighting for a just course which is your freedom.
Freedom is golden to all humanity but it is very unfortunate that the Zoological Republic of Nigeria have toyed with our freedom and right to human existence. Many people have wondered why the militants are bombing the oil facilities located in the NIGER DELTA area! Honestly speaking,their reasons were as good as mine,"since the oil was discovered in the axis, it have solved little or no problem facing the poor masses,the poor youths of the land are in steady suffering,pains and gnashing of teeth only because oil is flowing in the region.
The Northern figures that owned mostly 86% of the oil blocks came as far distance as the North to own oil blocks while the original owners of the land are left to perish and die prematurely due to hardship imposed on them by the Zoological Republic of Nigeria.
When you look into this matter critically, you will see that those strangers from the North that owns the oil blocks have vowed not to develop the region as it wasn't in their culture to develop a land not originally own by them, these group of men seen today as oil block owners have almost destroyed 90% of our people's lives and properties only to make sure that their oil businesses keep flowing without even considering the damages been done to the Niger Delta region and Southeast as a whole."
The militants see all these nonsense happening in the region as a big insult and a slap on their faces,therefore, allowing the oil to continue flowing is of no meaning hence the oil business for ages haven't solve any problem relating to unemployment, Poor Living Standard, Unstable Electricity, Poor Educational System,Bad Water Supply,Bad Roads,Insecurity, Ethnic Cleansing, Marginalisation, Bad Infrastructures,Bad Hospitals,Land Pollution,Oil Spillage and Land degradation.
The risk of allowing the oil to flow is huge,and it is now obvious that the key players in the oil industries are throwing their weight on our people by threatening to crush us each time we rise up in unity to defend our lives,properties and heritage." Fighting for our right will forever remain,and is a task worth dying for," for those of you criticizing militants especially the Southerners" I want you all to know that this fight is your fight,as the owners of these oil blocks are mostly from the North and have shown no sign of being in love with you instead they prefer to buy more sophisticated weapons, fighter jets ,employ mercenaries, lobby with some Western allies to kill and destroy you for daring to stand their way as an obstacle,the more you allow them to enrich themselves with oil flowing in our land is the more powerful you ignorantly make them to become.
Our right to agitate and fight for freedom is enshrined under "UNITED NATION'S CHARTER" but is now obvious that our right is not even found anywhere in the world not to talk more of the so called UN Charter.
The course to liberate ourselves and emerge as a sovereign nation now lies in our hands,as we can now see that every peaceful means of agitation have lead to our death,now is the time to move the suffering away from our region and make it a nationwide predicament by this guerilla warfare.
Everything we have as a people have been taken away by the Zoological Republic of Nigeria." Nnamdi Kanu is in detention,the one and only Maritime University commissioned by GEJ is gone,Second Niger Bridge is gone,Sea ports are gone,Our Roads are bad, Universities are on steady strike,Ibeato Cement is gone,Textile industry is gone,Glass industry,Airports are going and yet they export oil that worth billions of dollars from our land,"No,this is a very big blow for all of us,I will stop here so far,but for those of you who don't get it,it is time you join me by saying all hail the militants.
Written by a brother,
Don Black D.

Hmmmm! Too bad...

To be frank with you, am still confused about the informations we get concerning the subsidy removal. Here are some of the informations we got from some of the leaders:

1..We are not saying oil subsidy has been
removed....Rotimi Amaechi.
2..Subsidy has been removed....Ibe Kachikwu.
3..I do not know what subsidy is....Buhari.
4..Removal of subsidy will create 200,000 jobs....Lie Mohammed.
5..Subsidy has not been removed, just a
price hike....VP Osibanjo.
Who is telling us the truth, who are they deceiving?

Please share your opinion.

Trouble in the Senate Yesterday as Senator Ita Enang Reveal that Northerners own 80% of oil blocks
Supporters of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) pushed their case further yesterday at the Senate, with startling facts on the sector.
Senator Ita Enang (Akwa Ibom North East) described the opposition to the 10 per cent host community fund by mostly northern senators as “misplaced”.
Enang, who is also the Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, said that those opposed to the fund should know that over 83 per cent of oil blocks are owned by northerners.
But he did not give the number of oil blocks Nigeria has.
Senator David Mark, who seemed to have been shocked by what Enang said, said the Akwa Ibom lawmaker should not be distracted (some senators were grumbling) because he was making an important point.Mark asked Enang whether he could substantiate his claim.
Enang promptly pulled out a document from his folder and reeled out oil blocs and their owners.
He said he did not intend to divide the country but to guide those who wanted to contribute to the debate to be truly informed.
He listed northerners who own oil blocks to include Alhaji Mai Deribe, Borno State and owner of Cavendish Petroleum, which operates OML 110 with an average of about N4billion monthly.
He also listed Seplat/Platform Petroleum, operators of the ASUOKPU/UMUTU Marginal Field with Mallam (Prince) Sanusi Lamido, Kano , as a major shareholder and director.
South Atlantic Petroleum Limited (SAPETRO) established by General T. Y. Danjuma, Taraba State , who is also chairman of Eni Nigeria Limited.
SAPETRO partnered with Total Upstream Nigeria Limited (TUPNI) and Brasoil Oil Services Company Nigeria Limited to become operators of the OPL 246.
AMNI International Petroleum and Development Company is owned by Alhaji (Colonel) Sani Bello of Kontangora , Niger State.
“They are operators of OML 112 and OML 117,” he said.
He said that a former Petroleum Minister and former OPEC Chairman, Rilwanu Lukman, another northerner manages AMNI oil blocks “with very key interest in the NNPC/Vitol trading deal.”
He said that Oriental Energy Resources Limited, a company owned by Alhaji Indimi, runs three oil blocks – OML 115, the Oldwok field and the Ebok field.
He said that Alhaji Aminu Dantata’s Express Petroleum and Gas Limited, operates OML 108.
Enang said that OML 113 allocated to Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum Limited is owned by Alhaji W.I. Folawiyo. Alhaji Saleh Mohammed Gambo, North East Petroleum Limited, is the holder of the OPL 215 Licence.
North East Petroleum was awarded blocs OPL 276 and OPL 283 and closing thereupon a Joint Venture Agreement with Centrica Resources Nigeria Limited and CCC Oil and Gas.
He said that INTEL is owned by former Vice President Atiku, the late Gen. Shehu Musa Yar’Adua and Ado Bayero. It has substantial stakes in Nigeria ’s oil exploration industry both in Nigeria and Sao Tome and Principe .
He said that Mike Adenuga’s Conoil is the oldest indigenous oil exploration company with six blocks. OPL 291 was awarded to Starcrest Energy Nigeria Limited, owned by Emeka Offor, which was sold to Addax Petroleum.
Enang urged the Senate to cause the immediate revocation of all oil blocks licences and their redistribution, in accordance with the Federal Character Principle.
He said: “My submission is that when you look at the distribution of those who own oil blocks and the amount of money that comes from the different oil blocks to the Federation Account and you see the owners of these oil blocks, you will agree with me that there is inequity in the distribution of oil blocks.
“The oil is produced in the Niger Delta yet it is the people of the Northeast and the Northwest and a little of the Northcentral, almost nothing of the Southwest and the Southeast, that are the persons owning and controlling these oil blocks.
“Almost nothing for the Southsouth, Niger Delta oil producing areas.
“They are quarreling with the area that takes just 13 per cent when you are producing the entire 100 per cent, you give some to the Federation Account and they give only 13 per cent of what you give and, of course, it is whatever you declared that you have produced. It is actually produced by you.
“I did not want to introduce something that is divisive.
“It is not intended to divide the country, it is intended to say ‘look, let us be realistic’.
“What some of the oil wells and the owners of the oil wells produce in a month and take as profit is sometimes more than what two or three states receive from the Federation Account.”
Enang noted that “when a group of people are richer than a state and then it is produced by you, then there is so much opposition that even the people who suffer the effect of the oil production should not be give host communities’ fund; and we have explained that the host communities fund is not only for the oil producing; it is for any of the communities that hosts oil infrastructure, which includes oil pipelines, refineries, gas pipelines and anything that is capable of causing danger.”
“If we had the host communities fund, the danger that we have been having in Arepo in Ogun State, the area would have benefited from the host communities fund.”
Enag said that other areas, such as Kaduna and some other states, will benefit from it.
He went on: “If you are producing and declaring only what you like and only the 10 per cent now being provided for the host communities and the 13 per cent which is after deducting everything, that cannot be in the interest of the country.
“What I am asking now is that oil blocs in the whole country should be revoked and redistributed according to Federal Character Principle.
“We are not saying that we in the Southsouth should have all or the Southeast should have all or the Southwest should have all.
“In fact, if there are 18 oil blocs or 36 oil blocks, we don’t mind that you give us at least four, Northeast four, Southeast four, Northwest four.
“At least, let there be equity, but then there should be the principle of who owns it and then you give us more.
“But at this time, we don’t even have it. The 13 per cent is what we are even suffering to sustain.”
Senator Olufemi Lanlehin (Oyo South) praised the maturity of Senators in considering the bill.
He urged the Senate to look at the “absolute and sweeping powers” granted the President in Section 191 of the bill.
The Section, he said, gives the President absolute and unqualified powers to grant petroleum licences to whoever he pleases.
Lanlehin prayed the Senate to use the opportunity of the bill to design a template that would grow the economy.
Senator Adegbenga Kaka (Ogun East) said he was supporting the bill with mixed feelings.
He noted that the trend of the debate seemed to indicate that senators were more concerned about how to share the cake and not how to bake it.
Kaka said the power granted the minister of petroleum in the bill should be reconsidered “so that we don’t give too much power to the minister.”
The lawmaker who insisted that the bill should be finetuned, said certain percentage of earnings should be set aside to fix electricity, agriculture and other infrastructure.
Senator Mohammed Goje (Gombe Central) said before the debate, he was completely against the bill.
He said the trend of the debate showed that the Senate was poised to do justice to the bill by removing offensive sections.
To him, it seems a consensus is being built around certain sections of the bill.
He noted that most contributors agreed that the power of the minister should be reduced, such that the minister will just be like any other minister.
Goje said: “We should not create a super minister.”
He said that definite provision should be made for frontier exploration, especially adequate funding.
He opposed 10 per cent host community fund.
Senator Barnabas Gemade (Benue North East) described the bill as very important and long overdue.
Gemade said an adage says: “Wherever you find oil, corruption creeps in and wherever you find diamond war emerges.”
He said the adage had been proved to be true.
Gemade said the bill contained good and bad provisions. He listed the good sections to include development of the gas sector, increase in promotion of local content and the unbundling of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
The bad sections, he said, include the minister’s economic power.
On the host community fund, Gemade said efforts should be made to ensure that it does not degenerate to very poor management of resources as it is, according to him, in the Niger Delta Development Commission, 13 per cent derivation and others.
On the frontier exploration, he said more effort should be geared towards discovering oil in other places.
Senator Akin Odunsi ( Ogun West) described the bill as the most important legislation before the National Assembly.
Odunsi noted that the bill becomes even more important when it is recognised that the country runs a mono economy based on oil.
The lawmaker cautioned against undue sentiment in the consideration of the bill.
He agreed that the bill was not perfect but posited that it could be fine-tuned to engender development.
Senator Abdulahi Adamu (Nasarawa West) said he was giving the bill “a reserved support”.
Adamu expressed worry about the absence of transparency and accountability in the oil sector.
He said the bill appears to contradict the Constitution (as amended), especially when it is recognised that oil and gas as well as other minerals are in the Exclusive List and under the control of the Federal Government.
The lawmaker cautioned about the unbundling of the NNPC in order not to put up the corporation for outright purchase by wealthy Nigerians.
On the host community fund, Adamu said the provision would create the fourth tier of government.
To Senator Gbenga Ashafa (Lagos East), the bill will be counter productive in its present form. He demanded the definition of host community.
Ashafa said pipelines burst at times not because of vandalisation but because of the integrity of the pipes.
Senator Ayogu Eze said his support for the bill stemmed from the realization that the oil sector should be reformed.
Eze highlighted issues of details in the bill, which, he said, should be addressed at the committee and public hearing levels.
It was obvious that most northern Senators were not comfortable with what Enang said.

I don't know WAEC has Hausa Version of all its question papers

I don't know WAEC has Hausa Version of all its question paper

If only Buhari had supported the removal of subsidy in 2012 If only Tunde Bakare, El rufai, Dino Melaye had not used the Save Nigeria group to harass GEJ If only Tinubu and ACN had not bribed PENGASSAN & NLC to ground the economy If only Obayagbon had not spoken jargons against subsidy removal If only Prof Wole Soyinka had not led protest in the streets of Abuja....
If only Nigerians saw beyond their nostrils...
Today, the deregulation would have been a thing of the past and maybe petrol would have been selling around #60/L due to competition. At least 4yrs would have been enough to stabilize that sector and this government would have been enjoying the benefits of the removal. But nay, they were hell bent in pursuing pecuniary gains, to make the then government look insensitive to the plights of Nigerians. They said the January 1st announcement was untimely and ill conceived as it didn't give Nigerians ample time to plan and prepare for it. How much notice did they give us this time around? One can safely conclude that they deliberately caused pseudo scarcity in the past 3months to pave way for this announcement so that Nigerians would reluctantly buy into it.

I wonder what Ibe Kachikwu stance was in 2012. I wonder where many other APC members stood in 2012.

Today they want us to accept what they are offering hook line and sinker. I supported the removal of subsidy in 2012. I remembered how I argued in favour of it the at the office. I still support it now but Nigerians should have trusted GEJ on this and not the APC deceivers.
