Fellow Nigerians, if this were genuine protesters who prefer to force the hands of the government to do something about corruption and mismanagement, they’d be battling soldiers and zombie-esque police men. If you ever had a doubt we are a country in bondage

True.

We will need to suffer a little bit more though. People are not ready, even those who are well informed are still finding excuses for these looters. We never suffer reach.

ndu_chucks:

It suffices to say, for now, it is impossible and frankly foolhardy to implement reverse social engineering abruptly. Kudos to GEJ for taking the first step. The $98million provided by the Islamic bank towards the education of these innocent and victimied children, is also most appreciated. The bottom line is to render millions of chilren more productive in the society and the 400 Almajiri schools being build, as a fulfillment of one of GEJ's campaign promises, is a welcome development.


Yes it's good to put that money into it, But they need to also hold people accountable for this. FG and GEJ cannot do this by themselves and One Trillion dollars won't help these innocent and victimized children if their local leaders care more about their ability to recite religious verses and don't give a damn about their Education.

These kids are ours, if they are educated, then we can compete better and progress much faster. We are failing them at the local level. Emirs, Imams, Sheiks, parents and local government officials can do much better if they truly care about educating them. So far, I don't believe they do. And 1 Gazillion dollars won't fix this without their proactive buy-in

These imams and sheiks should be issuing fatwas against truancy at this stage, leaving these kids on the street and uneducated is a national security issue. It should be considered Haram also


I grew up in the South West, in the small town I grew up in, I remember then as a school age kid, it was safer for your yansh to be in a school chair than on the street. It seemed like every adult on the street then was a truancy police appointed by God to trash your bottom if you go out on the street during school hours. They needed no money to do that, the prevailing social culture has to own this problem and be ready to deal with it. Else it cannot be fixed.

There's nothing wrong with chicken roasted in the open, but there's a lot wrong with the open sewage and drainage close-by. We need to clean-up

We can clean-up and still maintain that style of roasting + open street selling.

I posted this earlier in response to this Almajiri school issue. I belongs here too. I can't shout.

FG funds Primary Education through the UBE though, but running a primary school? Nah nah nah

They will still need these State leaders to run the schools. The same ones ruining these kids lifes with their incompetence. Shior

Kilode?!:
Why can't these kids be placed in regular muslim elementary schools anyway?

Where are their parents? are they above the law?

If they want muslim schools, we have enough examples of great Muslim Schools in Nigeria to copy from. I.e Ansar ul Deen. These kids can be in regular religious schools if the government is ready to enforce universal basic edcuation laws and put their money and judicial power behind it.

There are good examples of such schools in Nigeria, again, Ansar ul deen is one.

Ansar-ul-deen has been doing a great job educating young and bright muslim minds without losing or violating the tenets of the islamic religion since the 1920's - at least in Western Nigeria.


What are these State Governors doing with UBE money for example? ( http://allafrica.com/stories/201108011750.html ) is it not against the Nigerian UBE act of 1999 to have these so called almajiri chiildren roam the streets with no elementary education in the first place?

Again, this is a Problem with a ready-made and tested homegrown solution, why are we stumbling?

NorthSharp:

No, he is NOT a Hausa-Fulani; he is an Nyamiri Igbo guy with Nyamiri Igbo blood running in HIS VEINS, as he himself stated in one of his posts. You would NEVER see a 'Hausa-Fulani' who would tell you that he has Igbo blood running in him, just as you WOULD NEVER as an 'Igbo' telling he HAS Hausa-Fulani blood running in his veins, unless that is the case.

Besides, as a full-blooded Hausa-Fulani myself, I have ample evidence (from Ndu Chucks' previous posts) to prove to everybody that he is not a Hausa-Fulani; and despite the fact that his posts attracts so much ethnic vile against the Hausa-Fulanis, he is certainly NOT a Hausa-Fulani Northerner, but an Igbo - apparently of mixed ethnicity!.

As I pointed out earlier, his Igbo kinsmen on NL 'reject' him simply because of his strong anti-Biafran stance and ultra-nationalist support for the 'cesspit' called Nigeria, which might as well stems from his vast investments across the country.

The ridiculous allegation that he is a Hausa-Fulani, which is mainly leveled against him by Igbo posters, seems to have stuck on him for a number of reasons;

1. This is a 98% Southern forum, nearly half of whom are Igbos; so as they vehemently 'reject' him for being so openly anti-Biafra, they sell this mischievous perception to other Southern posters, who buy into the deception. I am sure if this were a predominantly Hausa-Fulani/Northern forum, within days EVERYBODY, including the non-Hausa-Fulani Northerners, would quite easily know that he is NOT a Fulani or a Hausa - just as it took me only a few minutes of perusal of his previous posts to know FOR SURE that he is NOT one of us!

2. His apparently strong and passionate support for keeping Nigeria united as one country tends to create a false impression that he is championing the cause of 'the born to rule' Northern elite, therefore he must be a Hausa-Fulani Northerner. And unfortunately, he seems to relish this deceptive impression, which he maintains at the expense of the Hausa-Fulanis, as we continue to take uncharitable ethnic bashing, ironically mainly from his Igbo kinsmen, because of his postings!.

So let me repeat to you, most emphatically, that the poster Ndu Chucks, is NOT a Hausa nor a Fulani. He is an Igbo guy who, apparently because of his huge investments in non-Igbo areas, would always support maintaining the status quo; successful Igbo business men like him with huge nationwide business interests, would naturally find it difficult to reconcile themselves with the thought of moving to a Biafran nation!.

But just as many posters here seem to continue to believe that [b]Beaf [/b]is an Igbo guy hiding under the ND umblella umbrella, the Igbo posters are free to continue to deceive themselves by calling Ndu Chucks a Hausa-Fulani; psychologically, they may need to 'reject' his Igbonness in this way in order to come to terms with having to attack a fellow Igbo man so viciously for his anti-Biafran stance!

Are you HAUSA OR FULANI? Which one of the two?

Can you convince more Hausas and/or FULANIS to post on NL? For a region with the highest population figures we have too few of them here, please invite more if you can.

That is what it's all about. Payback for campaign work done. Where do you think the GEJ/PDP campaign got all those campaign funds from?

Also, we are yet to fully grasp or address the-mother-of-all-looting. The sudden drop in petroleum reserve fund shortly after GEJ took over from Yar'adu.

Former US Ambassador Campbell made an interesting point about the sudden drop in reserve fund in his article a few weeks back.

During Babangida’s administration, for two, three years up to that time, several professionals - pilots, doctors, engineers, professors in the universities and others - who belonged to the most comfortable class in the country, found it difficult to maintain themselves and their families and live with some dignity as human beings. For this reason they left the country in droves, giving rise to discussions and the setting up of commissions on brain drain. The country’s middle-class was completely wiped out. There were only paupers, the rich and the super rich - a handful of the immediate family and friends of those that held political power and dictated the distribution of national wealth, who reaped the huge unearned benefits through presidential and other government patronage.

So true, one can relate on so many levels.

The first time was on January 15, 1966 during the first military coup led by Major Patrick Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu.

Ola one:
I expect Ekt Bear, Seun and those who clamoured for 'subsidy' removal to say something about this report/probe.


Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has to say something too.

No subsidy. We stated this clearly on this forum.


@Ola One, This is how I see it:

Most supposedly "private sector focused" people underrate the effects of corruption in Nigeria.

It's not just those on NL, same in the real-world private sector.

The Nigerian Private sector Business community don't see corruption-with-impunity as a life and death situation for their bottomline.

It will have to be up to the poor and dis-organized civil activism sector to keep pushing these issues, unfortunately, they lack the money and influence to push hard for changes. It's sad really.

The last #OccupyNigeria Movement is an example of that scenario.

Private sector business folks focused on making short term financial gains aren't great at pushing long-term political changes unless it can positively affect their bottom line in the short-term. That's the way I see it.

It will be great to get buy-ins from that section of our society, but I don't expect it, they will prefer slow gradual chnages until everything is at the risk of crumbling totally.

for them, "continuity" is better than the uncertainty of radical changes.

There is a lot of talk about this document. Recently, Aregbesola claimed that ACN has adopted this document thus members of other parties, particularly, PDP, are not "omo'luwabi". Since no one could produce the document, PDP jumped on Aregbesola and accused him of planning to secede, Islamie Sw etc. There is something secretive about this document.

I suspect it may contain the blueprint for some acts which may actually be illegal or treasonous. The DAWN document, which was launched on the 103 birthday of the first premier of the Western Region, Obafemi Awolowo, is a cultural and socio-economic blueprint as well as a conscious effort to develop a developmental agenda for the old Western Region in the post Obafemi Awolowo era.

I found some information on the document, but no one can produce it. I ask again, whats the great secret about the document. Why did non ACN governors not endorse this document enabling Aregbesola to imply that they are not omoluwabi?

Hmmm, Aregbesola has talked about these items as part of the plan for regional integration of the SW

(1)He is calling for "Regional Integration" where all of the south west act as a single political and economic entity.

(2)He wants all state governments in the SW to adopt his plan for regional integration and establish Ministries for Regional Integration.

(3)In this new integrated SW, Lagos will be the economic nerve center.

This plan is apparently itemized in his so-called green book, a document which some say is patterned after Ghaddafi's Green Book.

Why is this document a secret document? If someone has the document, lets have a link to it. What kind of leaders will have a grand plan that is a secret to its constituents? SMH

The fact that this document is a 'secret' enables critics to claim that it is part of a plan to Islamize the SW since a majority of the SW governors including Tinubu are muslims.


Haba! Alhaji Chukwuma, You don't have to do this. Ti e ba fe ka'we e lanu e soro.

You don't have to concoct tales and conspiracy theories just because you want the document. Ask nicely.

The plan for an all-encompassing SW regional development is not a secret and you know that. Many stakeholders have expressed this in the press, they've even called press conferences and public conventions. Even SS people already planned theirs.
