Politics / Re: Sw: What Is Next? by Kilode1: 7:55pm On Apr 20, 2012 |
Negro_Ntns: You are right about these two points. It is difficult to demand accountability or even access it when we have not properly benchmarked our goals and expectations. Ideally though, campaign promises should have been enough if we exist in a system where the electorate is the final judge and employer. But still, I personally will hold ACN responsible for what they have promised me and my people. I'll make sure those I have influence over do the same. |

naijaking1: So I'm now a hired ACN and oil-cabal supporter on NL ? My stock must be rising The other day someone accused me of giving excuses for NOI, now I do personal attacks on NOI. I didn't even think I've ever engaged this Naijaking character on NL before. Can you provide proof of my bias ? |
Politics / Re: Subsidy regime fraught with corruption and inefficiency – Report by Kilode1: 6:32pm On Apr 20, 2012 |
DaLover: Subsidy probe...power probe...pension fund probe...police fund probe...securities and exchange commission probe...my probe...your probe........it is only me that feels we are moving in endless circles I guess the next question is: Why can't this administration just get radical and do the needful? GEJ can Spend his political capital to overhaul this system and if it cost him the next re-election ( I doubt it will) then he leaves with his head high, knowing he helped Nigerians to move closer towards a better system, saving coming generations a lot of headache. GEJ is in a good position to do these reforms, but I'm afraid, it appears he lacks the will for it. |

What these "civil society" groups are demanding for is accountability. I can't understand why any sane Nigerian should be opposed to that. As for the Senate, a senate where the ruling party has a comfortable majority, the same party that appointed these people? They only foooool themselves if they cannot compel the executive to implement every sensible recommendation in these reports and punish the public officials and private businesses responsible for these frauds. |

OAM4J and Jarus, ask Seun to put one of these Subsidy Senate report news on the home page, there are several of them floating around. Try to choose one and place it on the homepage. This is an important report. Don't allow it to get drowned out. People died fighting against corruption and subsidy removal. https://www.nairaland.com/919029/sack-okonjo-madueke-civil-societies https://www.nairaland.com/919022/how-okonjo-iweala-madueke-gombe-governor https://www.nairaland.com/918815/sake-nigeria-why-cant-gej https://www.nairaland.com/918291/nigeria-as-subsidy-report-digs#10634631 https://www.nairaland.com/918607/subsidy-fraud-here-names-amounts |

This new Senate report may end up vindicating Dele Olojede's 234next and the great investigative work they did to expose Allison Madueke 234next took their great website off the internet shortly after the storm generated over this. (they said they were broke) Thanks to Nairaland, we still have it here in cyberspace: https://www.nairaland.com/730835/234nexts-bizarre-report-diezani-allison I hope they jail this woman if she's found guilty. I won't bet on it though. |
Politics / Re: State Govt Of Osun New Policies On Education, What's Your Opinion. by Kilode1: 9:03pm On Apr 19, 2012 |
Central - Olusola Adeyeye (ACN) This is a decent politician from the very little I knew about him during the 1999-2003? Senate. He was vocal and something of a contrarian in his debates then. I think he lost his seat to the "OBJ pact" after that, if I recall. Curiously, I've not heard a lot about him since April, I hope he's not getting tired. If not, then Osun is lucky to have him there. |

My brother, inexeplicable things of voodoo quality will start happening ROFL You have to show me where you get this your dramatic vocabs from. @my fear: BTW, we don't have to wait for a dictator to put proper checks and balances or reorganize these bodies, that is the whole point bro. Bro, If we have a decent man in office today and he neglects these reforms, he won't be there forever, right? No guaratees the next leader won't be a brutal lunatic, we've had a few of them already. Best to reform them to protect us all. |

The SSS powers are in order. They are effectively above the law as are the FBI, M16 etc; they are the maximal enforcers of our sovereignty and security; Those organizations are not above the law in their countries, and they don't have official roles in State Government houses.(as you are aware, SSS agents hang around State government house Gates, I've seen enough, they are not even covert about it ) Also, M16, like the CIA, is an intelligence ops body for protecting against external enemies not domestics, they provide foreign intelligence. I don't think they throw unsubstantiated allegations at State Governors and call them for questioning and explanation. That sounds like the Nazi SS Gestapo to me. Nigeria's SSS on the other hand let's just say there is a reason why you don't copy blindly. It is better to get them organized with more specific roles ( foreign intelligence or presidential Security) These things we play with are extremely dangerous in the hands of brutal leaders, it's like the FBI when Hoover first ran it. If not for powerful laws and sensible foresight a Hoover would have become a Hitler in no time. Can't play with para-Military orgs by giving them unnessarily over-broad powers like that. It's dangerous for all of us. Don't know when a lunatic will get into Abuja again. Maybe we have an ideological difference on this issue sha. We will have to Discuss this on another thread though, don't want to derail the thread more than I already did. |

You are funny, o, no be Tribune? I saw the almost obsessive references to "friendly visit" like they are trying to push it into my eyes Tribune is not exactly an unbiased party in this case. The whole secession allegation thing is ridiculous and unbelievable though. Just saying. Anyway, we deh observe. |

Thanks Beaf, I see it now. But the report said friendly visit, I no see begging for dia. Off topic; i Can't wait to see the end of SSS and all these silly security acronyms with unnecessarily over-broad powers we inherited from military dictatorships. |

Politics / Re: Subsidy regime fraught with corruption and inefficiency – Report by Kilode1: 3:18pm On Apr 19, 2012 |
Mrs. Alison-Madueke is also to have her powers whittled as the House committee recommended the appointment of two oil ministers--one in charge of upstream, the other handling downstream. Appoint 2 oil ministers ke? I thought we are going broke with expenditure cost? Kai, what did Nigerians do to deserve all these clueless idiooooots in office?? If you like, appoint 7Million ministers, nothing will change until you start punishing people for their incompetence and corruption. |

Politics / Re: EFCC, ICPC, FRSC, 35 Others To Go by Kilode1: 1:17am On Apr 19, 2012 |
Beaf: Seriously, I see the SSS as a poorly conceived security intel Organization with overbroad powers. It needs better and more specific laws. As It currently stands, It's more like a Gestapo body to me. If we want a federal police, I welcome that. But a federal secret service with powers stretching into state affairs is over-broad, unnecessary and frankly, dangerous ( we can see evidence of that danger in the ignoble history of our SSS ) Yes, this is supposed to be a democracy, a federation even. SSS should have been scrapped or at least re-organized since 1999. |

Politics / Re: Time For OPC, Bakassi To Clean Up Act And Join MEND by Kilode1: 5:40am On Apr 18, 2012 |
Beaf: ^ A lot of those ACN supporters, like I mentioned earlier, voted for GEJ at the federal elections, while they voted ACN at the state level. And many of those who opposed his choice of political party sympathised with part of what the election symbolized. Ok oh. On NL I know "it may be too late" but in the real world, real political operators don't use phrases like that. I bet you know that. Anyway, like I said, best not to burn bridges and turn friends and sympathizers into foes. It is simply not necessary, frankly, it is not wise. |
Politics / Re: Time For OPC, Bakassi To Clean Up Act And Join MEND by Kilode1: 4:43am On Apr 18, 2012 |
Beaf: Ok. But GEJ called them rascals first now. Anyway, it's ok, let us hold hands. There are bigger battles in front, you don't want to burn all the bridges, many of these same ACN supporters have genuine ND sympathies (for example) and they have demonstrated it time and time again even before this 4th republic. Also, the same ACN leaders GEJ referred to as rascals did not stop their people from voting for a PDP president In 2011. I'll actually go on a limb and say elections were more peaceful in the SW than any other region in 2011 despite everything. Those bridges will be useful, best not to burn them. BTW, no homo |
Politics / Re: Youth Unemployment: Philosophy Of OYES - Speech By Gov. Aregbesola by Kilode1: 2:36am On Apr 18, 2012 |
There is a saying among our people that work generally is nothing to be ashamed of; it is stealing that brings dishonour. There is dignity in labour. The holy books enjoined all to do with one’s might whatever one’s hand finds to do. We have found inspiration on work from the view of William Beveridge, the post-World War II British political economist in his influential book ‘Full Employment in Free Society’ where he wrote: “It is better to employ people on useless project like pyramid building or digging holes and filling them up again, than not to employ them at all…Any of these may be better than doing nothing at all. Yes, jobs are vital. |

They need to add SSS and that silly Council Of State to that list. SSS milling around every State House in Nigeria is an aberration for a federal system. Guard the president and stay with him. States don't need SSS operatives hanging around Government houses, we are not at war. Stupid military creations like the SSS and Council of State should have been scrapped or reorganized a long time ago. |

ola_pluto: The security report issued against the governor of Osun state is a farce. It is cooked up to try and get PDP back to Osun state. This will not happen again by God's grace. Amin. Below is a video of what the good people of Osun state faced under Oyinlola. When next you wonder why Aregbesola is behaving as he is, watch this video. And about the Tawun group, PDP is trying to demonize a group that protected Aregbesola when he was a target for assasination. ola_pluto: Incase Yorubas have forgotten what PDP means, another reminder below: These are incredibly sad stories, very detailed too. You can't expect people to support you by killing and terrorizing their loved ones. All because of political power? SMH |
