It shall never be well with GEJ and all his supporters

When Nigeria could have made progress during Oil boom, GEJ, his barren witch of a wife and all their eastern backbones took knives and shared the collective wealth of Nigerians.

Please close your mouth, Nigerians voted this present government because they promised Nigerians that they will correct the ills of GEJ so please stop the blame game its old already.

Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has called on Federal Government, National Assembly (NASS) and international community to intervene in the Anti-Open Grazing Law operating in Benue.

The Chairman of the association, Danladi Ciroma, made the call on Sunday at a news conference in Lafia.


He said the law was implemented without due consultation with herdsmen in the state.


He added that “our people were not educated on modern method of rearing cattle so that when provision for ranching was being made, government would take into consideration the total number of cattle in the state.

“Due to lack of consultation, our people lack the technical know-how to conduct cattle ranching because even if we accept to practice it, we lack the needed expertise.


“We do not know the grass we need to grow and how it is grown, where to get it and how to preserve it for the cattle.”

He explained that countries like Kenya that successfully implemented ranching system spent more than five years educating herdsmen and provided the much-needed facilities before it was implemented.


Ciroma said apart from those who were the direct beneficiaries of ranches, animal health experts needed to be trained, while clinics and abattoirs, among other things, were supposed to be provided.

He added that the state did not take any step before enacting the law .

The zonal chairman, therefore, appealed to Federal Government, NASS and the international community to urgently prevail on the state government to reconsider the law for peace and unity in the area.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the association in Nasarawa State, Malam Mohammed Hussaini, said
the implementation of the law in Benue led to influx of herdsmen and their cattle to Nasarawa, noting that the situation should be checked to avert conflicts between herdsmen and farmers.

Hussaini explained that the influx of cattle to Nasarawa had led to destruction of many
farm produce and appealed to relevant authorities to intervene to check any crisis in border towns.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Nasarawa, Idrisu Kennedy, however, gave
the assurance that measures were being taken to avert any incident.

The PPRO explained that the efforts of the police and other security agencies, as well as that of the state government and traditional rulers were geared toward averting breakdown of law and order in the state.

Newsmen report that the chairman of association in Benue and other herdsmen from North Central states attended the news conference.

The Benue Government had enacted an anti-open grazing law and fixed Nov. 1, 2017 as date to commence its implementation.

The state government stated that the law was in line with Section 4(7)(a) of the Constitution, Section 1 of the Land Use Act Chapter 202 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990.

The Section states that all land comprised in the territory of each state in the federation are vested in the governor of that state and such land shall be held in trust and administered for the use and common benefit of all Nigerians in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

To this end, Gov. Samuel Ortom of Benue said it was in the spirit and letters of those enabling laws of the land that the Open Grazing (Prohibition) and Establishment of Ranches Law, 2017 was proposed and was judiciously enacted by Benue State House of Assembly.

Please, I call on Southeast governors to emulate what Gov. Samuel Ortom of Benue just did for his people and if the so-called Myetti Allah want open grazing I suggest sambisa forest is an alternative.

krasican:
You are angry ......reason is that you like PDP and Jonathan ....truth be told what dasuki said does it make sense to you....from his statement he admitted giving money to metuh which means he truly shared money

It looks like you just don't comprehend this case, whether Metuh received any money from Dasuki, that was not in contention here. Metuh did not call Dasuki as a witness for him (Dasuki) to admit if Metuh received money no but for what reason and how. Look 90% of the politicians in Nigeria are all thieves Dasuki, Metuh included, but having said that this is the court of law where evidence is supreme. For the Nigerian government to win this case, they have to prove that Metuh conspired with Dasuki, Jonathan or whoever that is involved in obtaining the money illegally. We all should know the money was never paid directly to Metuh but through his company and his defense was his company did work for PDP of which there was some bidding for the contract. I am not a lawyer but there is no law in Nigeria for companies or individuals to question the source of money used in making payment of contracts. As I said I'm not a lawyer but for me, it is the PDP who are in the position to sue Metuh and his company if he did not execute the contract to their satisfaction. My question is this, is it illegal for members or companies owned by members of any party in Nigeria to bid for contracts from the party they are affiliated to? If yes Metuh is guilty if no Metuh should be left alone.

Vice Chancellor of Babcock University, Prof Ademola S. Tayo has stressed the importance of quality in the running of the institution.

He said the university was not-for-profit, hence its provision for work study programme, endowment funds, among other initiatives, to assist indigent students’ access to quality education.

Prof Tayo, who spoke during a visit to Matori, Lagos State Head Office of The Nation newspaper said: “One of our core values is excellence and we would not compromise. But at the same time, because of the philosophy of quality education, we introduced the work-study programme whereby the indigent but diligent students would use their hands to work so that they can augment part of the fees needed to fund their education.

“They work in the cafeteria, library, etc. They get paid and that has helped many of them. We also have parents’ consultative forum where parents partner with management, so that we have a pool of funds that children who lose their parents while in school can have access to, in order to fulfill their dreams. “We also have the ‘adopt a child scholarship’ where we reach out to our host community. Also, we serve as guarantor for parents to access loans for their children’s education. But most importantly, we believe in frugality. Our university is not-for-profit. Nobody shares one naira. It is ploughed back to make the system work better.”

The vice chancellor, who was accompanied by the institution’s management team noted that the institution was being funded solely with earnings from its bakery, Guest House, water factory and other industries, with only two per cent subsidy from its proprietor, The Seventh Day Adventist Church. He added that the university spent about N20 million monthly on electricity.

Prof Tayo noted that the university’s fees were not too high for the services provided, “as it runs 24-hour power supply and the fees also cover tuition, accommodation, laboratory, among other expenses.”

He said the institution will be graduating its pioneer medical students in December, informing that the students have completed their various degrees.

The Medical School, according to him, was establised in 2012.

He said: “One of the areas of excellence that we want to carve a niche in this country is in the area of medicine, which we started in 2012. We have our accreditations from the Medical and Dental Practitioners Council of Nigeria (MDCN) and National Universities Commission (NUC), International Board of Education, National Postgraduate College and the West African College of Physicians. This December, we will turn out our first graduates in the medical school. They have completed their clinical rotation in India.”

Managing Director of The Nation, Mr Victor Ifijeh pledged the organisation’s support for the educational development of the nation, while stressing the organisation’s dedication to objectivity, fairness, integrity and balanced reports.

He lauded Babcock University for its achievements in the education sector, and its swift rise to global standards.

Responding, Prof Tayo acknowledged The Nation for her growth in its ten years of existence noting that “The Nation is a force to reckon with. Your newspaper is always at the forefront. We want to thank God for the role you have played in shaping the public opinion by your accuracy and the way your news are reported”

"They called General Yakubu Gowon a genocidal maniac, a child-killer, an Igbo-hater and a tribalist simply because he stood up to Ojukwu and insisted on keeping Nigeria together and even though he declared that there was “no victor and no vanquished” after the war."

Someone ought to tell them that this is not a virtue but a vice. It is a cultural deficiency which is borne out of not having any history. If they did they would be less aggressive, more restrained and far more civil to others.... Same Fani-kayode.

The Bitter Truth About The Igbo.

Conclusion:

People tell stories the way it suits them best.

People may tell stories the way it suits them but documents and videos recordings on what transpired are still there for people to see. Ojukwu never wanted to go to war with Nigeria, all he wanted was a restructured Nigeria and that was what Aburi was all about and they signed it. Nigeria brought a war to Ojukwu, Ojukwu never brought the war to Nigeria. Look at Nigeria today, majorities are clamoring for restructuring, that was what Ojukwu did 50 years ago with Aburi accord.

MrPolitics:
I'm not taking sides but was he there to know what transpired?

No, he was not there, but the agreement was not just between Gen Yakubu Gowon and Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu in Aburi. There are others members, prominent Africans who make up the panel and there are also documents and videos just do your research.

A two-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her class teacher at a school in Orlu area of Imo state. After the matter was exposed and people started picking interest in the case, the alleged rapist is now being labelled an insane man. According to an online report, even the police that arrested him are asking that he should be forgiven due to his "mental condition".

Below is what was shared on Instagram by Break or Makeup

Please if I may ask who diagnose this so-called teacher's mental illness? If he is mentally ill why is he not in a mental institution? He is pretending to be mentally sick because he was caught.

Fiscal sustainability, or public finance sustainability, is the ability of a government to sustain its current spending, tax and other policies in the long run without threatening government solvency or defaulting on some of its liabilities or promised expenditures.

To me, the southeast is not doing well is because they have failed to appropriately implement one aspect of taxation that generate the most money when taxes are the concern, which is the property tax. There are millions of houses in the villages in Southeast that are just there.

Lloydfolarin:
Cos your region shouldn't have 5 states in the first place

And your landmass is the smallest ever in the country

How you managed to get 5 states till date still beat my imagination.

When the military balkanized the Igbo land they knew what they were doing. And using landmass as a yardstick in creating states is being greedy, It is only Nigeria where they use landmass instead of the population because of greed.

brainpulse:
Brilliant, the truth to be told, PDP, Ohaneze, Afenefere were enjoying loots for the past 16 years they never shouted restructuring. They were booted out, now became agents of restructuring.
Does restructuring stop corruption, embezzlement and stealing from these leaders? No. If we are restructured imagine south south leaders with Edwin Clark Diezani, Patience and the fat noise maker who don't care about the people, the region will be worst of

Let restructure first to allow the regions that want to progress to so and the regions that want to loot to also do so.

erunz:
the only reason the North will agree on restructuring, is when they discover oil in the North.

Why the North preach one Nigeria is because of oil, Nigerians should understand that if the oil in the South that every Nigerian enjoy today was in the North there will be nothing like Nigeria today, Nigeria would have been balkanized before the war.

Mrl1:
Former Abia State governor, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, has revealed what will end the needless agitations in the south eastern part of the country.

According to Kalu, creation of an additional state in the South-east zone, would put it at par with the other zones in the country.

Kalu made this submission when he spoke with newsmen during annual youth summit of Junior Chamber International, Ikoyi, hosted by the Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation at Camp Neya, his country home in Igbere, Bende LGA.

He said the decision of the government to proscribe the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) remained the only option that would guarantee stability which he said the country needs desperately at a time like this .
“I think a lot of hate speech had engulfed the country, and the matter escalated because the IPOB leader refused to abide by the terms of his bail. If he had agreed, and probably appealed against the conditions, the situation wouldn’t have gotten to this point. When two people are fighting and the court says, don’t fight, you obey the court. The court decision was not a personal decision of Justice Binta Nyako but the decision of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Kalu explained.

“Some of you know what Ojukwu said here when he was alive, one day it will be made public. If we say we are marginalised, everyone is marginalised. We are marginalised because our people refuse to work. As soon as one becomes a governor or minister he buys houses in Ikoyi and abroad and the people will celebrate him.

“Remember when I was governor, the army and police used to do joint patrol. We should not box ourselves into a corner because my conscience will not allow me to do what is evil,” he said.

“The demography of this country shows that if you go to Kontagora, after the aborigines the next is the Igbo. The same with Jos, Kano, the West, name it, so we need the peace and unity of the country more than anyone else,” he said.

The former governor and chieftain of APC, however, appealed to the Federal Government to take the issue of restructuring seriously, saying, “We have gone past going to Abuja to share money every month.”

He pleaded with the federal government to go back to the 2014 confab report, “The South East zone should have one more state,” Kalu said, lamenting that rather than discuss the interest of the zone, “some Igbo leaders go to the president with the CV of their wives and children, but I go to him to tell him the problem of the people.”

“We need peace everywhere, we condemn hate speeches,” Kalu said.

50 per cent of teachers in Kaduna State penned down for re-appointment as teachers, failed primary 4 test set for them as pre-condition for re-absorption into the civil service, Governor Nasir El-Rufai has revealed.
The governor also disclosed that students who were sent on overseas study were being withdrawn due to poor academic performance.

El Rufai disclosed this when chiefs and traditional rulers from Southern Kaduna paid him a courtesy call on Tuesday.

He expressed shocks over what he described as “shameful performance of the students because their academic performance in secondary schools back home were ‎convincing enough that they would do better outside Nigeria.”

“This is a clear demonstration of the government’s effort towards improving teachers capacity for effective teaching and learning in public schools,” said El-Rufai said.

The royal fathers, led by Emir of Jama’a, Alhaji Muhammadu Isah Muhammadu said they decided to visit the governor to express happiness over the recent re-opening of tertiary institutions closed down in Southern Kaduna, since December 2016, as a result of insecurity in the area.

Stakeholders had commended the state government for releasing N312 million for Teacher Professional Development (TPD) in 2016.

You prefer Biafra be given to Igbos, I as an Igbo man will love that, but the question is, is it for all Igbos or just a section and your SS are you all be willingly give up all the Igbos areas in SS?
