BusinessRe: Emefiele Promises Stable Naira In 2016 by Lighthouseman:
“We are saying Nigeria can do without
these items. And the truth is that the re­
serves are no longer there.”
Currently, Nigeria as no forex to buy fuel so how this Voodoo economist think he can stabilise the naira when Nigeria is living in a fools paradise? The forex is as it is currently being subsidised. Allow it to trade freely with other currencies. You can't be subsidizing dollar and fuel and expect to survive as an entity.
Lastly, no economy is run on propaganda but on sound economic policy. In the time of austerity like we find ourselves, it's time to boost government spending on the real sector which are construction, agriculture etc

why should they blocked the federal road in.d first place? Why should Burutai take another route?are they greater than the country?I don't support the brutality of NA but at same time we need to argue without sentiment.Why should a sect blocked the head of the Military from passing?or democracy mean citizens should disrupt the peace of d land?
Tell me which religious groups don't block roads? Living faith does, redeem does, mfm blocks etc on the lagos ibadan road. Coming to the north in Lafia, on Fridays, two sects of Islam block the road at intervals while on Sundays, the Catholic block the road all I'm Lafia, Nasarawa state. Same happens in Jos and kaduna except in Abuja have i not seen religious groups block roads.
Though wrong, but they all have different reasons for blocking the roads. What I want to stare here is the army would have used maximum restrain to deal with this situation. Was tear gas used at first instance to disperse them? At what point is the second of life bullets permissible when dealing with violent civilian protests?

This is suicide economics. It will lead to a black market of imported dollar from neighboring countries. High cost of spare parts. Those benefiting will make double profit by tagging the cost of their business on black market rates leading to hyper inflation like Zimbabwe. With 20k, u won't be able buy a car tyre.. Then you will have to park ur car. Traveling abroad opening tuition will be made almost impossible with business tour allowance tagged at 4k per a quarter making Nigeria another Cuba or north Korea.

What happened to the use of moderate force on unarmed civilians? What happened to the use of tear gas to disperse these folks? Is the life of burutai worth more than that of other Nigerians? Are some Nigerians more Nigerian than others? A judicial commission of inquiry must be set up to look into this. Burutai should not be Sen to be fighting a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Nigeria. What I the role of the police in such situations....? Is Zarin under a state of emergency? Why use precious life rounds that are meant for soldiers in Maiduguri on unarmed civilians? Enough of these bad news from the north. Someone should take this to the Hague!

Politics23 Years After, IBB Opens Up On Crashed Hercules C-130 by Lighthouseman(op): 8:24am On Dec 06, 2015
Twenty-three years after a military plane crash
in which more than 159 officers lost their lives
in Ejirin swamp in Lagos in 1992, then military
ruler, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida
(IBB) has finally spoken on the ill-fated
incident.
Babangida, in an exclusive chat in the maiden
edition of The Interview, disclosed that the
crashed aircraft ought not to have flown on
that specific day, based on the issue of
maintenance and number of flying hours
already attained.
Responding to a question posed by The
Interview on what actually transpired on that
day and if the crash was properly investigated,
the 73-year-old former president said, “It was
investigated. It was reported. But you guys
had a mindset. Certain people had a mindset;
nobody was interested in the report. But it
was investigated. What happened in sum total
was that the aircraft should not have been
flying. There are mandatory stages, number of
hours and maintenance. All those things that
are mandatory were not there.”
When he was asked on what happened to the
people who authorised the plane to fly on that
ill-fated day, Babangida said there was no
penalty meted out, adding, “They ought to
have been punished. I know that blame was
apportioned. I wouldn’t know about the
punishment. We investigated; we even
apportioned blame but no penalty.”
On why that was so, he simply remarked,
“That is the Nigerian factor.”
Responding to inquiries on who killed
renowned journalist, Dele Giwa who died from
a parcel bomb blast, Babangida said, “A
Bomb”.
When asked in the interview on who sent the
bomb, he replied, “Would you ever think
somebody could sit and ask a soldier or
anybody, go and kill that kill that man?”
Upon the interviewer’s response that “It
depends....”, IBB was quoted to have replied,
“It depends on who? If what you hear about
other African leaders is anything to go by, you
are right to believe that it could happen
because of what happened in the case of the
Mobutus of this world. But there is also one
human being who believes in God, who
believes you cannot take away life, who
believes that God forbids you to do that, who
believes that God created you equally.
Somebody of that nature cannot, in all
fairness order the execution or killing of
another person.”
When he was pressed on his relationship with
late Dele Giwa, Babangida replied, “We were
friends. Very soon, somebody is going to
accuse me of saying he is my friend. I knew
him very closely. I have correspondence
between him and me. But that is not enough
for you to believe that we were friends. What
is enough is that I took a bomb and killed
him.”
When The Interview countered that “There was
a general feeling that he knew a lot of military
guys and knew more than he was supposed to
know....”, IBB cut in...…”That he knew we were
dealing in drugs and Gloria Okon. Somebody
should have come out with it by now. He
must have left some manuscripts.”
When he was asked if he suppressed the
investigation, the former president replied,
“There was a report on that investigation if
you may be interested to know.”
On the interviewer’s remark that witnesses in
the investigation were apparently hidden,
Babangida replied, “No. Most of what you
guys talked about was fictitious. Even one of
the persons you guys said was involved does
not seem to exist. Gloria Okon; she does not
seem to be in existence.
And then you came out with, what is the name
of the other girl who was supposed to be my
wife’s friend? She was in prison or something;
you came out with that one. There is virtually
no truth in it all. People are not very good in
putting stories together to make it look
credible. They only make it look fantastic. If
you are dealing with an idiot, of course you
can do anything. But you deal with a man who
thinks a man who tries to rationalise”.
On Saturday, September 26, 1992, a Nigerian
Air Force Hercules C-130 (NAF 911) transport
plane, carrying more than 200 persons, took
off at 5:27 pm from the Runway 19 of the
Murtala Muhammed International Airport,
Lagos, with its destination the city of Kaduna
in northern Nigeria.
However, a few minutes after take-off, the
heavy-laden plane, which was said to be
carrying not just the military boys and girls
but young students of the Nigerian Military
School (NMS), Zaria, alongside civilians,
relations and friends of military officers,
developed a fault and nose-dived into the
deep swamp not too far from the Lagos State
Low Cost Housing Estate, Ejigbo to the Festac
Town, Lagos, killing all those onboard.
In the crash officers of the 19, 20, 21 and 22
Regular Courses of the Nigerian Defence
Academy were badly hit. A list of 159 names
of those officially listed as passengers of the
C-130H was released on October 1 by the
Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel
Fred Chijuka.
The list was made up of seven Lieutenant
Colonels, 96 Majors, a Sergeant, Michael
Bahago, two students – Mr. O B Oshodi, Mrs.
M A Abu, and a reporter, Mr. Augustine Okpe.
There were also the eight-officer crew
including Alaboson, Mamadi, Squadron Leader
J A Adeiza and Flight Lieutenant S O Adamu.
The other men, Alum Wakala, Tarfa Saidu, W T
Datong and A Soyemi in addition to 19 Air
Force officers, were made up of 18 Squadron
Leaders and a Sergeant, O. Jaja.
The Nigerian Navy lost 16 Lieutenant
Commanders, Ghanaian Armed Forces, five;
Tanzania lost Major M S Mgonja while
Ugandan Major J R Mulazi also lost his life in
the crash.
The Nigerian Army Education Corps lost a
total of 19 officers, Infantry 17, Artillery 15,
Intelligence nine, Signals nine, Supply and
Transport eight, Military Police seven while
the Electrical and Mechanical Armoured and
Medical Corps lost four officers each. Others
included Ordinance three while Finance and
Personnel and Training lost two men each.

PoliticsTwo Fighting: Ghana’s President Mahama Insults Obasanjo by Lighthouseman(op): 4:48pm On Dec 05, 2015
Things did not go as planned at the African
Investment Forum in Westminister, London
which held the Dec 1 and 2, 2015. An heated
exchange between President John Mahama of
Ghana and former Nigerian President
Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open
insults with President Mahama losing his
temper and calling General Obasanjo “an
idiot” and a “stupid buffon”.
This was after Obasanjo openly accused the
Ghanian President and his government of
financially contributing 12 million dollars to
Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign. He also
accused President Mahama of blackmailing
and collecting bribes from Nigerian
businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous
properties in Nigeria and South Africa.
It took the intervention of Ugandan President
Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher
President Mahama to a nearby room to
prevent a bigger episode.
The forum, which held from 1st to 2nd
December was attended by African Heads of
States including; Peter Mutharika President
Republic of Malawi, Matata Ponyo Mapon,
Prime Minister Democratic Republic of Congo,
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf PresidentRepublic of
Liberia, H.E. Thomas Boni Yayi President
Republic of Benin, John Dramani Mahama,
PresidentRepublic of Ghana, H. E. Yoweri
Kaguta Museveni, PresidentRepublic of Uganda
and H.E. Charles Gaëtan Xavier-Luc Duval,
Deputy Prime-Minister Republic of Mauritius.
Ministers, Private equity firms and investors
were present to discuss opportunities for
investment and development in African
Economies.
