This set of politicians and integrity should be distanced apart. Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.(C.J) Where will you classify Lai Mohammed? |
A thread that made frontpage this morning.... https://www.nairaland.com/5449091/fg-returns-toll-gates-federal#82774861 THE INTERNET NEVER FORGETS; But in 2011, the ACN and indeed Lai Mohammed called it obnoxious and heavily criticised it. ACN Opposes Re-Introduction Of Toll Gates Thursday, November 10, 2011 4:48 pm The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has condemned the plan by the federal government to re-introduce toll gates on major highways in the country from next year, saying there is no justification for it. In a statement issued in Ilorin, Kwara state, on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party described the plan as the latest in a string of obnoxious policies being pursued by the federal government, including the planned removal of fuel subsidy, the hike in electricity tariff, the single-tenure plan and the so-called Sovereign Wealth Fund. ”President Goodluck Jonathan, in his inaugural speech, said ‘the urgent task of my Administration is to provide a suitable environment for productive activities to flourish’. How can that happen now that his administration is emasculating Nigerians with a series of anti-people policies? ”Perhaps the President needs to read his own inaugural speech again so he can redirect his energy toward making life more abundant for the people, instead of inflicting sufferings of Biblical proportion on them,” it said. ACN wondered whether the federal government is aware of the deplorable state of the roads across the country before even contemplating the re-introduction of toll gates, adding that no one should ever be made to pay for services not rendered. ”It is a cruel irony that the toll gates that were removed seven years ago when the roads in the country were still fairly motorable and are to be reinstated now that the roads have virtually disappeared. Nigerians daily die on the traps that the roads have become, and all a government can say is that it will impose tolls on the same people. What style of governance is this? ”The ideal thing would have been for the government to begin a massive rehabilitation of the roads across the country, then allow Nigerians to ride freely on these roads for some time, if only to make up for the years they have suffered on the roads, before any contemplation of reinstating toll gates. ”The federal government may want to borrow a leaf from the Lagos state government, which has intervened to delay the payment of toll on the well-paved portion of the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Today, Lagosians are enjoying a smooth ride on that road without yet paying any toll,” the party said. ACN said all it takes for a government that runs on ideas is to evolve creative ways of maintaining roads, especially those that have not been handed over to private investors under the BOT programme, instead of the fixation on toll collection on non-functioning roads. https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2011/11/10/acn-opposes-re-introduction-of-toll-gates/ So, where do we go from here? lalasticlala Seun mynd44 |
He is not the poorest-performing Gov in the SE; but he is greedy and doesn't know when to keep quiet. |
OluwabuqqyYOLO:It's very true: Cc: jesvic91 nurex01 yves4real teddiie https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/10/international-school-ui-suspends-student-over-hijab/ For the love of God, the school is a private educational institution. Hijabs, scarves, berets, chaplets, rosaries or anything that depics any religious affiliation isn't acceptable. This institution was established in 1963. This has been the rule, why is it a problem now? I trust that Prof Olayinka and co will not bend to the whims and caprices of a few who are hellbent on turning one of the finest institutions into a "house of torture". Lalasticlala |

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos state, has urged more residents to pay their taxes to enable the state government to carry out its developmental projects. Sanwo-Olu gave the advice on Tuesday while answering questions on ‘The Platform Nigeria’, an event organised by The Covenant Christian Church Place, Iganmu, Lagos. According to the governor, less than 700,000 out of 4.5 million taxable adults in Lagos are currently paying tax. “We are not saying that we should increase tax, but we encourage people to be on the tax net,” he said. “We are also appealing to our tax agency to be more proactive and reach out to people who are not paying tax.” Sanwo-Olu appealed to Lagosians to be patient over the bad state of roads in the state, saying that continuous rainfall was slowing down rehabilitation and palliative work on the roads. He assured that there would be extensive and massive rehabilitation of roads after the rainy season. The governor said that state government was working on a multi-modal transportation system comprising rail, water transportation and bus transit system to remedy the traffic problem in the state. ”On water transportation, we are encouraging the building of a lot of jetties and we have just acquired six to seven new passenger boats that can take 60 to 70 passengers at a time,” he said. On commercial motor-cycle operators, the governor said since his administration wanted to give everybody a chance to be part of the state development plan, he was trying to harmonise and come up with a regulation system. ”This is designed to know who they are, their activities and how to manage them to ensure that they don’t add to the problem of traffic flow in the state; we don’t want to disenfranchise anybody,” Sanwo-Olu said. He said that through the ongoing Metropolitan Fibre Initiative of his administration, public institutions in the state, such as schools and hospitals, would have access to high-speed internet service. Sanwo-Olu said that the initiative, which was technology enabler, would help to manage traffic and other security issues in the state. https://www.thecable.ng/sanwo-olu-less-than-700000-people-pay-taxes-lagos |

Government includes red beret in a list of insignia and attire designated as military clothing, banned for civilians. The Uganda government has designated the red beret as official military clothing that could land members of the public who wear them in jail, a move that essentially bans the uniform of leading opposition leader Bobi Wine and his supporters. Bobi Wine, a pop star turned politician who has announced he is running for president against longtime leader Yoweri Museveni in 2021, has made the red beret his signature, calling it a "symbol of resistance". However the beret, also worn by some soldiers, was included in Uganda's first-ever gazette of all military clothing, which states that any member of the public found in possession of the items "is liable on conviction to imprisonment for life", under section 160 of the 2005 UPDF Act. "The dress code for the UPDF (Uganda People's Defence Force) has been gazetted. The action was endorsed by the top organs of the army which also commended the dress committee for concluding the task assigned to it years back," army spokesman Richard Karemire said in a statement on Monday. "It manifests the commitment to define identity and outlook of a professional army as well as adhering to the EAC (East African Community) protocols," he added. According to the gazette dated September 18, the sale or wearing of any attire which resembles the army uniform is also banned. Prohibited items, besides the red beret, include side caps, bush hats, ceremonial forage caps and camouflaged baseball caps. "It is prohibited to wear or use any decoration supplied or authorised for use by any member of the defence forces or any decoration so nearly resembling that decoration and likely to deceive the public," the gazette said. 'Symbol of resistance' Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, has not yet commented on the new rules. He formally declared his presidential bid in July at an event in the capital, Kampala. Wearing a red tie and red beret, a look copied by dozens of his supporters at the event, he said: "On behalf of the people of Uganda, I am challenging you (Museveni) to a free and fair election in 2021." Reacting to the new rules, a leading figure in his "People Power" movement - which he has yet to register as a political party - said they would not stop wearing it. "We shall continue to wear the revolutionary red berets," said youth leader Ivan Boowe. "No amount of intimidation will make us fear to exercise our rights. By designating our dress code as military wear, the government is moving to attempt to ban the People Power movement and we are ready to face any action government takes," he added. Joel Ssenyonyi, a spokesperson for the People Power movement, said Museveni was getting "sleepless nights" because of their party. "He forgets that whatever he intends for our harm just pushes us forward," he wrote on Twitter. Treason charges Bobi Wine, 37, first attracted a youth following through songs critical of Museveni, who has ruled Uganda since 1986. He rose to prominence in 2017 when, as an independent candidate, he won an election to represent a constituency near Kampala. He has since successfully campaigned for other opposition candidates, raising his profile as a national leader and attracting calls urging him to run for president. But he faces multiple challenges, including limited opportunities to hold rallies or stage concerts before elections. He was most recently arrested in April for allegedly staging an unsanctioned protest last year - charges fellow opposition MPs decried as ridiculous - but was released from jail after a few days. He is also facing treason charges, which he denies, after being arrested with 30 other opposition politicians in August last year for allegedly stoning Museveni's convoy following a campaign rally. In that incident, Bobi Wine's driver was shot dead, while the politician later flew to the United States to receive treatment for wounds he said were sustained during torture by security forces. The government denied that he was mistreated. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2019/09/uganda-bans-red-beret-bobi-wine-signature-headgear-190930150137387.html
