We Are Disappointed With Anambra Governorship Election — US

The United States Government has expressed disappointment with the conduct of the November 16 Anambra State governorship election which the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate, Willie Obiano won.

The disappointment was expressed when the US Assistant Secretary of State on African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, spoke with some young Nigerians on the President Barack Obama Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) at the Rosa Parks corner of the US Embassy, Abuja on Thursday.

Thomas-Greenfield was responding to a question on how to assist Nigeria and other African countries holding major elections in 2015 make them free and fair. In her words: “That issue is on our agenda for Nigeria as you go for elections in 2015, to promote free and fair elections. We were disappointed with the results of the Anambra State governorship election and the problems that came out of that election. So we want to work with the electoral commission and work with your politicians to ensure that that’s not repeated. And we continue to build on successes and correct failures.”

IGNATIUS OKPARA, Onitsha

Members of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, (MASSOB) on Friday clashed with the Police in Onitsha, leaving one of their members dead, while eleven others sustained various degrees of injuries.


Police, MASSOB Clash in Onitsha Leaves One Person Dead, Several Injured

An eye witness told our correspondent that trouble started when a police team on surveillance flagged down a motorist along the ever busy Onitsha/Owerri road and started maltreating him, probably for allegedly refusing to give them money an action, which drew the attention of MASSOB members that were controlling the traffic in the area since the yuletide, as they confronted the security men.
However, the intervention of the MASS0B members in the matter angered the police men, resulting to a heated argument which later led to assault between the MASSOB members and the police.

while the argument was raging, one of the policemen, according to the source, pulled out his rifle and shot at a MASSOB member who died instantly, just as the police men disappeared from the scene immediately for fear of uncertainty.

Watching one of their members lying in the pool of his blood, the MASSOB members in anger barricaded the -busy Onitsha / Owerri road for over two hours, just as they made bonfire with fairly used tyres, a situation that compelled traffic flow to divert to the Obosi by-pass.

However, the corpse of the late MASS0B member was said to have been taken to the Awada Police Station.

When contacted, the Onitsha Police Area commander, Mr. Benjamin Wordu, confirmed the incident but said trouble stated when MASSOB and a rival group had a bloody clash, a statement, the militia group swiftly dismissed.

Wordu, said immediately he got information about, the incident, he dispatched a team of policemen to the troubled area, adding that normalcy has since returned to the commercial city.

Lagos State : Fashola commences work on Lekki-Epe international airport
POSTED BY OUR REPORTER ON MAY 10, 2012 AT 8:59 AM 0 COMMENT

Lagos State Government has commenced work on the development on the Lekki-Epe International Airport to complement the activities of the Zone as well as provide alterative air transport services in the State.
The Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Mrs. Olusola Senapon Oworu disclosing this at a Ministerial Press Briefing in commemoration of the First Year Second Term anniversary of Governor Babatunde Fashola in Office, said the State Government has successfully obtained the site approval for the Airport from the Federal Ministry of Aviation and has also completed the master plan on the 3500 hectares of land earmarked for the project.
Mrs. Oworu explained that the Airport is designed to handle about 5million passengers annually with provision for a modular terminal for future expansion, adding that preliminary work on the project have commenced with the clearing of 4.5 km of the access road and 9km of perimeter road, saying that this is in furtherance of the State objective to make the Lekki Free Trade Zone a fully functional investment haven.
The Commissioner also reiterated that the Lekki Free Trade Zone project is a reality as it has so far attracted key players particularly in the oil and Gas sector with a greater prospect of attracting more investors as its development progresses, especially with the provision of power.
“A further testimony to the development of the Zone is the interest expressed by the Federal Government through the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to establish a pioneer Hydrocarbon Industry Park, which would comprise of a Green Field Refinery, Petrochemical, Fertilizer and Power Plant within the Zone. The State has earmarked 1500 hectares of land for this purpose out of which 550 hectares will be released for the development of the refinery and power plant”
“A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the NNPC to this effect. The Refinery is designed to have a refining capacity of between 200,000 – 300,000 barrels of crude oil per day. When completed, it would help to shore up the domestic refinery capacity and close the prevailing demand – supply gap for petroleum products in the country”, she said.
Concluding, Mrs. Oworu assured that the State Government has made appreciable progress in some of the social challenges that had in the past encumbered the smooth implementation of the Lekki-Free Trade Zone Project.

Sincere 9gerian:
What Airport did your lord, Buhari, build when he was maximum ruler?

APC can never become as corrupt as PDP because APC is far more corrupt than PDP...

The worst corruption in Nigeria is going on in APC states. But the good thing about PDP is that they are the only democratic party out there. They are the only party were people can air their views and disagree. APC is a cult where Tinubu and Buhari reign supreme. Just look at the shambles going on in Lagos state. Performance my foot. Lagos state government is a fraud. APC governors are all frauds. All they do is propaganda. Please show me the world class hospitals in Lagos after 14 years? Why did Tinubu go to the UK to treat his knee if he is a performer? Where are the Lagos state world class schools? Oh, I remember. Lagos state schools are those ones where students where hanging on the window because there where no seats. Liars and hypocrites

You want to be free, yet you worship Tinubu. what an irony...

To understand this, you have to go back to what [the] young brother here referred to as the house Negro and the field Negro — back during slavery. There was two kinds of slaves. There was the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes – they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good ’cause they ate his food — what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near the master; and they loved their master more than the master loved himself. They would give their life to save the master’s house quicker than the master would. The house Negro, if the master said, “We got a good house here,” the house Negro would say, “Yeah, we got a good house here.” Whenever the master said “we,” he said “we.” That’s how you can tell a house Negro.

If the master’s house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. If the master got sick, the house Negro would say, “What’s the matter, boss, we sick?” We sick! He identified himself with his master more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, “Let’s run away, let’s escape, let’s separate,” the house Negro would look at you and say, “Man, you crazy. What you mean, separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?” That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a “house nigger.” And that’s what we call him today, because we’ve still got some house niggers running around here.
