You are worst than stūpid. Did you go through the previous thread on Ajami? Did you see the topic on frontpage before it was finally changed? I think we know the people giving religious colouration to this frivolous issue.

. U really need not display ur stupidity here all in the name of making people belief ur selfish comment. If U dnt av anythn to say just keep quiet and observe. #brainwashedNitwit

Idrismusty97:
So is this why the Hausa Ajami was removed? The Ajami that isn't even Islamic? So what are the dishonorable elements arguing about ajami gonna say now. 90% of the posters on that thread were screaming "secular" state. If you want the Ajami removed and still want this symbol on our naira note then you are a bloody hypocrite!

Jonathan thanks for dividing Nigeria, I know it will soon come to this. Very soon the Muslims will asked for Friday to be added among the work free days, if not then Saturday and Sunday should be scrapped(In 1972 Gowon pronounced Saturday as a work free day in sympathy to the demands of the adherents of the Seventh Day Adventist genre of Christianity) Christians will make their own suggestions and Nigeria will finally become a full secular state not just on papers.

. Am sorry to say U are really stupid. The Ajami is not islamic so why are the muslims so concerned about its removal from the #100 note. Here you are saying GEJ is bad. You went through school, how many positions did you handle Just come here and say poo

When Aaron Ramsey Scores, one Famous Person
Dies?
Posted: almost 3 years ago
By Osagie Alonge
He scores….Someone famous dies…
It first started like a silly joke but after four very
famous deaths, we are starting to get worried, more
like scared.
First it was former Libyan dictator Muammar
Gaddafi, then world terrorist Osama Bin Laden
followed by Apple founder Steve Jobs and most
recently ‘Queen of Pop’ Whitney Houston. But what
do these famous people have in common other than
the fact that they are dead?
Well it’s none other than 21-year-old Welsh Arsenal
FC footballer Aaron Ramsey. The last time four
times Ramsey has scored in the past year, the above
mentioned famous people have died.
Check the statistics:
Strike 1: May 1, 2011: Ramsey scores. May 2, 2011:
Bin Laden is shot dead
OSAMA BIN LADEN
It all started last May when Ramsey scored against
Manchester United at the Emirates stadium in the
second half of a May 1 fixture. The following day,
Osama bin Laden was reported to have been shot
dead
by U.S. Navy Seals in Pakistan.
Strike 2: Oct. 2, 2011: Ramsey Scores. Oct. 5, 2011:
Steve Jobs dies from Cancer
STEVE JOBS
It continued on October 2, 2011 when Ramsey put
one at the back of the Tottenham Hotspurs FC at
White Hart Lane. Three days later Apple founder
Steve Jobs who had been battling pancreatic cancer
for a while passed away.
Strike 3: Oct. 19, 2011: Ramsey scores. Oct. 20, 2011:
Gaddaffi dies from inflicted injures
MUAMMAR GADDAFFI
It’s October 19, 2011 and Ramsey scores a striking
injury-time goal against French side Marseille during
a Champions League group stage match. The next
day Ex-Libyan president Muammar Gaddafi was
captured by rebels after weeks of combat and died of
injuries inflicted on him.
Strike 4: Feb. 11, 2012; Ramsey scores, Same day:
Whitney dies
WHITNEY HOUSTON
The most recent part of this tale happened on
February 11. Just after Ramsey scored against
premier league side Sunderland, Whitney was found
dead in her bath tub at the Beverly Hilton in Los
Angeles.
Fans and football pundits have got talking, waiting to
see if Ramsey ‘infamous’ scoring will keep up with the
famous deaths.
A facebook fan page has already been opened called
‘Saving an Aaron Ramsey shot is like saving
someone’s life’ with the first comment reading
‘ Ramsey is such a deadly player‘.

Ajose: Where company rolls in fortune, residents
smoke misfortune?
African Foundries Limited, the multibillion naira steel
mill at Ogijo, Ogun State, owned by Indians, is
currently having a running battle with Ajose, the
community where the mill is sited in the town, over
constant emission of smoke and other acts of
environmental degradation.
EMMANUEL ADENIYI visited the community and the
company, reporting that mutual understanding
between the parties is needed so as to create a
peaceable environment for both parties to thrive.
ASIDE the terrible state of Sagamu-Ogijo-Ikorodu
road that makes life difficult for motorists who ply it,
the path to Ajose community – one of the settlements
at Ogijo, Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun
State – is fairly passable, albeit tortuous.
Ajose, literally suggesting unity or togetherness of its
residents, is one of the communities at Ogijo hosting
a multibillion naira steel rolling mill, African
Foundries Limited (AFL), which is currently having a
running battle with residents of the community,
whose togetherness seems to have been wielded
against the company over alleged pollution of their
environment.
Located directly behind the company, Ajose - which
was carved out of another community - Afisuuru, is a
new settlement since most houses there are still new
while construction work is still being done on some
buildings. The near deafening silence hovering over
the whole settlement is in sharp contrast with the
drone of traffic on the horrible Sagamu-Ogijo-
Ikorodu road and heavy sounds of machines gnawing
at metal scraps and billets inside the AFL factory.
As it is now, the residents’ major concern is how to
end the pollution of their environment allegedly
perpetrated by the AFL with reckless abandon.
The residents, many of whom relocated to the
community to avoid the hustle and bustle of Lagos
life, said living at Ajose had become tough due to the
constant emission of smoke and noise pollution as
well as release of sewage from the company.
African Foundries Limited commenced operation at
the community in 2010 and has grown in leaps and
bounds within the few years of its operation. It
currently produces steel billets and iron rods worth
millions of naira for local market, with a plan to
commence exportation of the products soon.
Despite the success story of the company and its
claims of constant Community Social Responsibility
(CSR) efforts at Ajose, the residents said it had
brought them much misfortune contrary to their
hope that siting the foundries in the community
would bring a lot of benefits to them.
“I was rushed to the hospital when an explosion
occurred inside the company recently. They had to
rush me to the hospital, I just came back,” an elderly
man, Mr Oluwasegun Akinwale, told Sunday Tribune,
when it visited the community penultimate
Wednesday.
“They sometimes release smoke from their faulty
tunnel around 3:30 a.m. till day break everyday. In
fact, we always use nose guards to protect ourselves.
Nose guards can only do little as most of us still
inhale the smoke. When I got to the hospital, I
discovered that my saliva was coloured. The doctor
who attended to me recommended some drugs to
me to, at least, save my life,” the man lamented.
When asked whether he
could produce the doctor’s
prescription and what he
was diagnosed with, he
said the doctor informed
him to come back for it.
According to Mrs Eunice Olowu, another resident of
the community, life has become unbearable for many
residents due to the activities of the company. She
said she had visited hospitals many times when the
colour of her spit suddenly became black and started
having other health challenges.
“My spit became black sometimes ago when I spat on
the ground. I had to rush my children to hospital too
when they sneezed and black substance was seen in
their noses. I had to take them to my grandma at
Ebute-Metta to stay there for a while, but they are
back now and they have started inhaling the same
poisonous gases.
“There was a time my husband’s car was enveloped
in soot when he left the car outside overnight. That is
what we have been facing here since the company
began operation. I was one of the first persons who
called the attention of the community to our plight.
We can’t continue this way; something has to be done
before people start to die in droves at Ajose.”
For Mrs Lukman Alabi, she said she was just
recovering from a sickness allegedly occasioned by
the indiscriminate smoke emission by the AFL,
claiming that the pollution of the environment had
claimed some lives.
“Some people have died as a result of this smoke
emission. Some have similarly contracted terminal
diseases from the smoke and dust generated by their
metal scraps. I know of a man, Old Soldier and
another one, Baba Odun; they are all dead. Old
Soldier’s house is not far from here.
“When AFL conducted medical test on us about two
years ago, Baba Odun was asked to spit on the
ground. His saliva was completely black. It wasn’t
long after then that these people died. Many people
have relocated from the community. If I were a
tenant too, I would have relocated.
“I became sick after inhaling the smoke; my saliva
became black. I’m still sick, I can’t breathe well. My
children are just recovering from the same sickness
as well,” the woman, who was found reclining on a
settee in front of her house, told Sunday Tribune.
To Alhaja Ogunyale Fatimah, whose apartment is
directly behind a compartment where AFL has its
mountains of metal scraps, living in hell is better
than residing at Ajose whenever smoke is released
from the company.
“It is not a good experience. It is better imagined
than experienced. Honestly, what we are facing here
is a flagrant abuse of our rights to live in a decent
community devoid of environmental pollution and
hazards.
“In fact the whole community was completely
covered up in a thick fog of smoke last night. That of
this morning was serious; we couldn’t sleep. There
was no electricity. So most of us were forced to open
our windows for ventilation, but we ended up
inhaling poisonous gases. Also, this morning, there
was a tremor that shook the whole building. This is
not the first time it would happen.
“Most men have deserted their homes and wives;
many have fallen sick as well. We always complain,
while they often promise to do something about it.
They conducted a medical test on us sometimes ago
and collected our blood samples. Up till now, we are
yet to see the result of the test. As I speak, the
phlegm of some of us contains black patches; some
have even died,” Alhaja Ogunyale claimed.
Another landlord in the community, Mr Kehinde
Ashafa, explained that what the community thought it
would bring them blessings had turned out to
become a thorn in their flesh. “We never envisaged
this. Our trust has been betrayed.
“This community, as you see it now, becomes a
different place whenever AFL releases its smoke.
Since it is an industrial smoke, its thickness and the
amount of hazardous gases contained in the smoke
can be better imagined than experienced.
“We are always enveloped in smoke whenever the
company releases the smoke from their tunnel. Apart
from that, sewage from the company sometimes
makes our paths impassable, we keep hearing
deafening sounds of machines either pounding,
grinding or hammering metals.
“There was time an explosion occurred within the
company’s premises; when it happened the whole
community felt it. In fact we thought there had been a
bomb blast because everything standing shook to its
roots.
“When I was returning home last night, I almost
couldn’t locate my house; the community was
completely covered in smoke. The smoke also
affected my wife’s chest. Doctor asked her if she was
smoking or living close to an area where smoke was
often emitted.
That has been our lots here. We have been coping
with the situation since the steel mill commenced
operation in our area,” Mr Ashafa lamented.
To verify his claims, Sunday Tribune asked the man if
he could produce the doctor’s diagnosis or
prescription of his wife’s sickness, the wife, who was
indoors while the interaction with her husband
lasted, said from inside their house that the
documents requested for were with her son who had
gone to school.
One of the elderly landlords at Ajose, Alhaji Fatai
Sekoni, said the recent happenings in the community
beat his imagination. According to him, his wife and
children had relocated to Ipaja-Ayobo when they
could not tolerate pollution of the environment
anymore, noting that he, too, could have left Ajose,
but for the gigantic building which he erected in the
community which he didn’t want to abandon.
“As big as this house is, I am the only person living
inside it,” he said with a tone of sadness. “We
received them with enthusiasm when they came
because of the benefits we thought we would derive
from them, not knowing that we had embraced
death. They use powerful machines; each time they
start them all the buildings in the community will
start to vibrate.
“When they begin to grind their metal scraps, the
dust generated always enters into our water, making
it unsafe to drink or bath.
There is also noise pollution. On October 1st, 2012,
there was a powerful explosion in the company
similar to that of Ikeja Military Cantonment, which
shook all the buildings in the community. When it is
dark, no one sleeps here again. We have met with
them; they only promised that things would change.
Despite series of meetings we had with them, nothing
has changed yet,” Alhaji Sekoni added.
Other residents of the community, who spoke,
alleged that the steel company often displayed
blatant disregard for public health, hence its refusal
to stop releasing smoke into their environment.
A food vendor, Mrs Margaret Odey, a teacher at
Providence Nursery and primary School, a new
primary school directly beside the steel company,
Miss Favour Elkanem, Mrs Iyabo Omotosho and Mrs
Bisola Sofoluwe described the action of the company
as inhuman, wicked and selfish.
“Which of their evil practices will one remember and
be happy? Is it the fog of smoke with which the
community is bathed each morning, or the bad
odour from the company’s sewage? What do we say
about the health of people living in this community?
What about these pupils; are they not likely to inhale
the smoke from the company? Is it right to site the
company in a residential area because of health
challenges its operation will pose to human health?”
Mrs Odey and Miss Elkanem asked.
When Sunday Tribune went round the community,
little smoke was noticed passing through the
company’s chimney into the atmosphere, but the
residents maintained that the engineers in the
company were mischievous, saying smoke emission
from them had been confined to night time till day
break, except in some rare occasions when they let
loose the smoke on the residents.
However, the company’s Head of Administration, Mr
Mike Aderemi, debunked what the community said
about the steel company, saying it did Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) before coming to the
community. He added that there were issues about
smoke, but that the company had installed state-of-
the-art equipment, such as shredding machine and
pollution control machine to checkmate smoke
emission.
“What shredding machine does is to separate rubber,
nylon, clothes and other substances that could cause
smoke from metal scraps brought to us. We also
have pollution control equipment which is now
functioning well. Before now, it was not functional,
but we did some adjustments on the machine in April
this year. Besides, the smoke that goes out does not
have carbon monoxide; it is just scraps that are
being burned.
“We have had relationship with the community
spanning several years. They are our neighbour; we
will continue to engage them constructively. Our
position is that we have done so much for them.
“The community, which used to be one before, has
received so much from us under our CSRs. Why
Ajose broke away from Afisuuru, I don’t know; but we
relate with them equally. However, we will continue
to improve on our services and will surely expand
our CSRs when we begin full operation,” he said.
A female engineer in the company, who preferred
anonymity, told Sunday Tribune that the smoke
coming out of AFL was within “permissible limits” and
did not have carbon monoxide. “We are not only
bounded by Nigerian standard, we are equally
bounded by international standard. Besides, we are
mandated by our EIA to carry out quarterly
evaluation and this we often do. We are not saying
the smoke is not there, but it does not pose any
health hazard at all,” she averred.
When Sunday Tribune contacted the National
Environmental Standards and Regulations
Enforcement Agency ( NESREA), the South-West zonal
director of the agency, Mr Olufunbi Sode, explained
that investigation was still ongoing on the issue,
noting that African Foundries Limited needed to do a
lot more to contain smoke emission, because “there
is emission there.”
The only way out of the impasse, according to an
elderly woman in Ogijo, Madam Janet Aderinloye, is
for the disputing parties to exercise patience.
“Just like the name of Ajose’s neighbouring
community, Afisuuru, meaning to have patience, both
AFL and Ajose community need each other for
mutual growth and development, anything short of
this is dangerous, not only for both parties, but also
for the entire Ogijo and Nigeria in general,” she
stated.

Every plans of d wicked against Nigeria in 2015! HolyGhost! Fire!

Culled from Vanguard
ON Friday, 23rd August, 1985, the
military government of Major-General Mohammadu
Buhari decided to place me under arrest. My crime
was that I wrote, among others, an article entitled:
“Counter-trading Nigeria’s Future” in the
National Concord, exposing the
government’s scam of diverting public funds into
private coffers through barter- trade with Brazil. A man
by the name of Benson Norman was sent from the
State
Security Services (SSS) to my office to get me. Not
finding me, he left a note that I must present myself
unfailingly at the SSS office at 15 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi
Lagos the next Monday morning.
However, on Sunday, 25th August, 1985, Lateef Aminu
came first thing in the morning to my house to inform
me that the government of Buhari/Idiagbon had been
overthrown. For this reason, I am
fond of telling people that God brought about a
change of government in Nigeria just because of me.
Coup-plotter
Under the Buhari/Idiagbon regime, once you ended
up at 15 Awolowo Road, you may never be heard of
again. Decree Number 2 of 1984 empowered Tunde
Idiagbon to arrest and detain anybody
indefinitely without trial and without legal reprieve.
After Buhari was overthrown, Mohammadu Gambo
opened the prison doors of 15 Awolowo Road on public
television, revealing people in various stages of
UnCloth and
malnutrition that had been kept in the dungeons
without trial by Buhari’s hound-dogs.
As self-imposed Head of State, Buhari had no regard
for human rights. Immediately he seized power, he
announced that he would “tamper with” the press.
Soon, the infamous Decree Number 4 was
promulgated which made even the publication of the
truth a punishable offence. Under this cover,
Buhari jailed innocent journalists,
including Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabo. He
abolished civil liberties, promulgated retroactive
decrees enabling him to kill Nigerians through jungle
justice, proscribed civil society organizations and
professional groups and exercised “absolute” power.
This same Buhari would now have us believe that he
has gone through some metamorphosis and has
become a democrat. I am sure you will forgive me if
people like me don’t believe him. Buhari is not, has
never been, and will never be, a
democrat. Only in Nigeria would a man with his track
record, who came to power through a military coup
that illegally overthrew a democratic government, now
be acclaimed as a democrat. It is on
record that Buhari’s military regime is the only one in
Nigeria’s history that failed to promulgate a
programme for return to civilian rule.
Facts and fiction
So what exactly qualifies Buhari as a democrat today?
Precious little! There is nothing democratic about
forming and joining political parties just in order to be
the presidential candidate. Little wonder then that
Buhari’s parties have a short shelf-life. Buhari would
like to be Nigeria’s head of state once again. He can
no longer achieve this through the barrel
of a gun. The only route now open to him is through
the democratic process. That is the reason he now
conveniently fashions himself as a democrat. It is
merely a means to an end; no more, no less.
Buhari’s reputation as an anti-corruption crusader is
also a myth. As head of state, he did not make any
dent in Nigerian corruption. All we got was a cosmeticb
“war against indiscipline.” The counter-
trade scam happened under his watch.
Rather than deal with it, he sent his hound-dogs after
nonentities like me who dared to expose it. That scam
was no different, in scope and scale, from the
petroleum subsidy and other corruption
scandals that have since plagued Nigeria.
The Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) that Buhari headed
under Abacha was also a citadel of corruption. While
Buhari himself might not have enriched himself, his
cronies and those who worked under him did so
handsomely.
On three different occasions, Buhari has run for the
presidency. On three different occasions he has failed.
That should really be enough. If, as seems likely, he
were to run for the presidency a fourth time in 2015,
there is no question that he would fail yet again. Try as
he might
again and again, Mohammadu Buhari can never be
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Buhari’s sectarianism
There is a fundamental reason behind this. Buhari is a
bad politician. He is an unbending former military
dictator and not a democratic consensus-builder. Like
his new ally, Bola Tinubu, Buhari is a regional,
sectional politician. Such politicians are practically
impossible to package and market nationally in the
ethnically-delicate Nigeria of today.
Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Malam
Nasir El’Rufai, one of those Northerners who deserve
to be serious contenders for the presidency of Nigeria,
observed that Buhari remains
“perpetually unelectable” as a result of his “insensitivity
to Nigeria’s diversity and his parochial focus.” This is
an elegant way of saying that politically, Buhari has an
uncanny tendency to put his foot in his mouth. He
talks before thinking of the political implications of his
words. He shoots from the hip. The strength of
Obasanjo, which enabled him to capture the
presidency on two different occasions, was that he was
perceived as a broadminded politician, not overly
partial to his people in the South-West. As a matter of
fact, in his first election, his people did not want him.
The
strength of Goodluck Jonathan, which propelled him to
win the presidency, was that he was able to string
together a coalition that stretched both north and
south of the Niger. The weakness of Buhari is that he
is totally unacceptable
to people outside his region.
Buhari is a Northern regional champion. As head of
state in the 1980s, hisb government was
unapologetically Northern. No attempt was made to
balance the ticket at the top. It was the only regime in
Nigeria’s history headed by two Northerners. When he
seized power, Buhari put Shagari, the Northern head
of state he overthrew, under house arrest. But
then he jailed Alex Ekwueme, the
Southern vice-president. You may well ask what makes
Shagari less culpable for the misdeeds of the Second
Republic than his number-two man. The simple fact
was that Buhari was Fulani as was Shagari; but
Ekwueme was Igbo. Impolitic words
At the height of the Sharia debate during the
Obasanjo administration, Buhari declared that Muslims
should vote only
for fellow Muslims. This was politically suicidal for a
man seeking national office.
He became an advocate for
implementation of Sharia all over
Nigeria. He protested to the Oyo State governor, in the
context of a dispute between Fulani herdsmen and
indigenous farmers in the state, that “your people are
killing my people.” This turned out to be
unfounded and perhaps the reverse.
His threats during the campaign for the 2011 elections
incited widespread violence in the North after he lost.
His supporters went on a rampage; looting and killing;
in spite of the fact that, by all accounts, the elections
were adjudged the most free and fair in the history of
Nigeria’s current
democratic experiment. By the time the mayhem had
subsided, over 1000 people had been slaughtered in
cold blood and some 65,000 displaced.
Forgetting that a statement made in Hausa would
readily be translated into English, Buhari later declared
unapologetically in a BBC interview: “ If what
happened in 2011 should again happen in 2015, by
the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all
be
soaked in blood.” These are the tokens of an
irresponsible politician, whose ambitions for power
supersede the national interest. Who then are the
dogs and baboons that Buhari has in mind to soak in
blood if and when he loses yet again come 2015? Are
they his children or are they those of others?
With the Boko Haram insurgency in the north, Buhari
played to the Northern gallery yet again, calling the
Jonathan government “the biggest Boko Haram.” Wole
Olaniyi was a fly in the wall at a meeting in Kano
Government House
designed to persuade PDP rebel governor, Rabiu
Kwankwaso, to decamp to the APC. Assuming that only
Northerners were present, Buhari declared the Boko
Haram was a “strategic plan” by the
government of Goodluck Jonathan to “destroy the
North.” When Jonathan declared a state of emergency
in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states, Buhari still
saw this with Northern goggles,
insinuating that the President is waging war on the
North.
President of the North
Without a doubt, Buhari has massive support in the
North. Indeed, he is the most popular Northern
politician in the North today. But that precisely remains
his undoing at the centre. The more he has been
identified as a Northern champion, the less attractive
he has become as a national choice. Even in the
North, his support base is limited to the Muslim
population. He does not appeal to Northern Christians.
Then there is the added factor of the opposition of his
implacable opponents among the Northern elite. Men
like Babangida and Atiku would rather die than allow
Buhari get to Aso Rock.
One thing is certain, the South-South and the South-
East will not vote for Buhari in 2015. Not only that;
there are no buyers for Buhari’s sectarian politics in
the South-West. No matter what Tinubu might be
telling him, the people of the South-West will not vote
for Buhari in 2015. We already had the template in
2011, when Buhari tried to sell himself, first by
balancing his ticket with a Yoruba man; and then by
making sure
the Yoruba man is a Christian; a pastor no less. But it
just did not wash. It will not work in 2015.
The worst thing that can happen to Northern
presidential aspirations in 2015 is for Buhari to be on
the APC ballot. That is a sure guarantee that the North
will not be providing the next president.
Buhari would be a shoo-in in an election for president
of Northern Nigeria. But in an election encompassing
the entire country, the best he can envisage is to be
a kingmaker. He cannot be king. The nearest Buhari
will get to Aso Rock in 2015 is by attending the Council
of State meetings.
