The N700 billion bailout funds is tantamount to a Supplementary Budget.
The National Assembly were not consulted when pa Buhari dished out billions to states.

APC is an amalgamation of strange bed fellows. The brand of politics played by the legacy parties are completely different from each other. The only thing they had in common was the overthrow of GEJ from power.
The type of politics APC South West play for example is politics of Godfatherism and imposition. That brand of politics can never work on the national scene.

atlwireles:
"Buhari risks a crisis of democratic accountability" Why are you people crying so soon? Buhari is only doing what many knew he would do. He is not a democrat and his almajiris sai chanters have no problem with him.

Exactly.
In addition, pa Buhari is far from a Democrat. He is a Feudalist and a Socialist. Secrecy, lack of Information-Flow and favouratism are hallmarks of a Seudo-Socialist government.

Baba-Go-Slow is either taking his time to screen competent people into his cabinate, or he is TOTALY confused on who and who to appoint considering vested interest among party members and in-fighting currently taking place behind the scenes by power mongers in CPC North, and those awaiting rewards (Juicy Positions) in ACN South West that makes up the APC. In which case, I choose the latter because what happened in the National Assembly will repeat inself in the Executive.
Expect volcanic eruption when the ministerial list is ready.

Pa Bubu also cannot dish out N700 billion to states without National Assembly approval.

Very interesting

Sule Lamido was OBJ's choice for 2015 presidential elections.

This is what happens when men refuse to grow up! At the marriage stage, you ought to be more responsible and stop jumping from one bear parlor to another and get more serious. I wouldn't have minded if it was hustle that keeps him away from home but meeting up with friends?

You women also need to be more careful when choosing your life partner. You don't marry a man because you love him alone, you marry because you see a future and father in the man you wanna settle with. Don't be blinded by love and say you want to settle with a 30 years old man who still sags and bounces like a 17 years old.

Think before you settle. Men are many but true husband materials are scarce. Be wise ladies.

Words of Wisdom.

Some verses in the Koran are dangerous. These hadiths are weaponised into killing machines. Some Islamic scholars utilize these verses as tool for mass hypnosis and brainwashing to promote hate and violence among their followers. Because of that, terrorism keeps thriving. Why will anyone support evil actions? Because these actions enjoy the backing and support of followers who think they are doing the will of their god. They sadly were just brainwashed by weaponised hadiths. Take a look at terrorist activities around the world and you will descover that terrorism thrives in regions with large muslim populations. Am not saying all muslims are terrorist, but the fact that terrorist groups from Iraq, Syria, Afganistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Northern Nigeria etc enjoy appreciable local support shows that something is wrong. Have we forgotten the story of parent who donate their children to terrorist organizations?
Whether we choose to accept it or not, terrorist organization get support from people. Boko Haram, the group responsible for the dead of over 15,000 Nigerians have lots of sympathisers in Northern Nigeria. ISIS as deadly as they are enjoy massive support from a section of people in Iraq, Syria and Libya. Same with Alshabab. Murtala, son of a former banker that was cought trying to bomb a US airline was an Alqeida fan. There are many others like him scattered across the North laying low, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Why do these people support terrorist organizations that engage in wanton destruction of lives and property? Because the terrorist groups operate based on the dangerous hadiths found in the Koran. This is the truth! There's no two ways about it.
Unless Islamic teachers and scholars around the world get together to face reality and truth squarely in the face by reforming, rebranding and eliminating dangerious hadiths and verses found in the Koran, terrorism and suicide bombing will continue unabated.

[b]Before the May 23rd LG Election in Rivers State, there was a Court Order barring the former Rivers State Governor and RSIEC from going ahead with the election. Amaechi ordered the RSIEC Chairman to disobey the Court Order and the election was conducted.

The Learned Justice Akanbi only maintained that since there was a subsisting Court Order (Pre-Election matter) before the election was conducted, anything done after that order was a nonentity, null and void period. That purported election was therefore declared null and void and the purported winners of that election ordered to vacate their offices as they were occupying it illegally. Mind you, this was a pre-election case.

The Court Order from the Industrial Court was a post election case against the Current RS Governor and RSHA Members (not against the Federal High Court) not to dissolve the Council Chairmen pending the determination of cases already pending. Governor Wike and the RSHA did not disobey that ruling. The Federal High Court is not bound by the Industrial Court Order Sir.

Secondly, in law it has been established that you can not put something in nothing, you can order someone not to cut off the branch from a tree but when the tree is uprooted from its root and removed completely, the order not to cut the branch seizes to be becos there is nothing there anymore. You can not cut a branch of a tree that does not exist. The LG election was an illegal structure which Justice Akanbi pulled away from its root. The RS Governor was left with no option than to fill the vacuum to aviod lacuna simple. [/b]

No doubt you are well informed about developments in Rivers State. I saw it coming. The election conducted by Ameachi was nothing but a sham. A seed sown to germinate anarchy and confusion to make life miserable for Wike.
Posterity will hold Rotimi Ameachi responsible for any breakdown of law and order.

Well? Where's the pic?

In the first pics, the BBOG group were violent and toutistically all out with one purpose; Which is to disgrace GEJ before the international community as the Culprit responsible for the kidnap of chibok girls.
The second pics shows the BBOG group as a more organised peaceful political organization tug on thesame page with the APC led Buhari government, working together for mutual benefits, one of which is the award of leadership post and ministerial appointment as a reward for a successful acomplishment of their mission. A mission to tople GEJ out of power.

Dawn Of The Hausa-Fulani Emirate, An Age Of Lies And Decied.
Events following the establishment of colonial rule in Nigeria can best be described as an age of Lies and Decied of huge proportion as the Fulani leadership attempt to cement their influence across Nigeria. As noted earlier, the new generation of Fulani leaders in the periods after 1800s, 1940s to 1950s and post independent era had socio-religious and political linkages with previously established leadership under Usman dan Fodio. In that instance, the leadership made claims which suggest that: Political rulership in all Nigerian territories was theirs by might of conquest and right as god-given (Born To Rule). This notion was further confirmed by Sultan Bello of the emirate in 1824 where he alleged that: god had given him all the lands of the infidels right down to the coast of southern Nigeria. According to Chunun Logams (1987) the Sardauna further claimed that he was informed of a prophecy that the Fulani empire would last for one hundred years and that its end would come on the Grazing Ground. Has the prophecy been fullfiled? Did the Hausa Fulani emirate ever conquered the middle belt and Southern Nigeria? Later developments would shed more light on the matter.

After the imposition of indirect rule in Nigeria, the polities of the central highlands (Middle Belt) were administered as part of Bauchi province. This was based on the misleading information provided at the Emir's palace in Bauchi on Pseudo-Claims of the Fulani emirate that the central highlands (Middle Belt) belonged to them. As noted by PIDAN publication (2010), the whole area of the middle belt which the Hausa people even named ''Dar alJabal'' (an Arabic term which means ''Land of Mountains'') was erroneously referred to as ''Bauchi Plateau'' and admistered as such from 1902 to 1926. To make matters worse, the situation became precarious when huge deposits of tin was descovered by the colonist. According to PIDAN (2010) the inordinate economic ambitions of the Royal Niger Company pushed the company into exploring the area of the Plateau, which was said to be rich in tin deposits. Col. H Laws, a British mining engineer was then sent by the company to the area with enough supplies and funds to hire about 600 workers from different parts of the country. Of all the workforce task with mining the area, eighty percent of them were Hausa-Fulani.

British Colonialism And Indirect Rule In Nigeria
Following the conquest and imposition of colonial power at the beginning of the 20th century, the policy adopted by the British colonist in governing the Niger-Area, Nigeria was a system of 'Indirect Rule': A kind of government whereby policies and administration was carried out through local chiefs and advisers of the natives. Why did the colonialist choose this system of governance? The answer lies in a statement made by Lord Lugard, then governor general of Nigeria in 1920 where he described Nigeria as:
A collection of self-contained and mutually independent Natives States, seperated from one another by great distances, by differances of history and traditions and by racial, political, social and religious barriers.

Derek Wilson (1971) noted that Lugard believed it was impossible to bring the whole country under one form of government owing to cultural differences and complexities, each tribe independent of each other. Therefore, the only system of administration the British colonialist believed would ensure smooth administration of these people under one government was Indirect Rule.
Although the system met stiff challenges in other parts of Nigeria, it proved highly sucessful in Northern Nigeria where the Muslim emirs had already established their rules over large areas before the Europeans came.
You can imagine what happened next.
Earlier I described how the Fulani emirate tried several times without sucess to conquer the hill trbes of Plateau state. How they employed numerous tricks to bring the natives indirectly under Fulani emirate rule and failed. The situation seem hopeless. The Hausa-Fulani emirs's plan was to venture down south in fullfilment of Usman dan Fodio's wishes of spreading Islamic influence across the entire length and breadth of Nigeria but were met with brute force by ragtag pagan natives. It was embarassing to them that some worthless semi naked tribes of hills and mountains could withstand their much more sofisticated and organised Jihadist forces. But like an answer to a prayer, the opportunity came when the British adopted the system of indirect rule. It was like a golden opportunity presented to the Hausa-Fulani on a platter of gold. The emirs now have a great opportunity to extend its influence over not only Plateau but Nigeria as a whole. The expansionist agenda of the Hausa-Fulani had began.

Good Review. Please continue. The Caliphate will not stop till they islamise ne and ec and wipe out Christianity from these places. They fear Danjuma a bit but have no respect for Gowon, J. Hussaini etc. I don't know what would have happened to Plataeu if Domcat Bali were alive? They recognise IBB and AA in Niger state. The first bokoharam factory in Minna was fished out by Marilyn Ogar, the woman DG DSS. This may not be unconnected with her current relegation. They dance round Benue without attack yet 'cos of David Mark. They persecute Igbos 'cos they are consistent Christians wherever they are. They have plans Yoruba Christians. The Hausa/Fulani Arabs have plans for every nook and cranny of Nigeria. But there is God who they do not know very well.

They are following the orders of Usman Danfodio.

Hi cheavroi

Yes I have been using SEO consistently for a while now. I first started using a popular service in the states called SubmitExpress, then I moved on to another company called WebSquash

What I suggest to newbies is that you need to read about SEO, it wont kill you but improving the attractiveness of your website to search engines can be an on going process,

People (bloggers) in your field of business try sending them an email requesting that they do reciprocal linking with you, make sure those sites get a decent amount of traffic and that they are relevant to your sites offerings

Learn keyword research, in actual fact is finding niche keyword phrases to drive more traffic to your site - very important but persist until you get their.
Check your site stats, what keywords are bring you hits? Use them more often around your site (not too often or you could be done for SPAMMING) and the ones that are not get rid of them and start the process again.

If you want mad traffic you have to put in some effort...sorry.

I also suggest to newbies to employ if they can afford it a SEO package that will get you off in the right direction and you will learn loads.

A traffic service I like is: Traffic Travis dot com.

But remember well researched SEO article content is king - focus on creating content that your readers really want to read and that adds value to their lives, it takes a little practise but is well worth it the end. Then you will find that search engines will start loving your site too automatically.

Don't you think using sites like Travis could jeopardise blogs from adsence?

5. Sarah Louise Palin Sarah Louise Palin born February 11, 1964 (age 51) at as writing this, is an American politician, commentator, and author who served as the ninth Governor of Alaska, from 2006 to her resignation in 2009. Since January 2010, she has provided political commentary for Fox News. In other words Sarah Palin is the first female governor of Alaska and the first Republican female to run for vice president on a U.S. major party’s ticket.

I like Sarah Palin. Funy woman.

Fair enough. I agree with some of his points. But am far as am concerned Relogating Boko Haram to the South East is an irresponsible security decision.

Looks like we are about to enter the era of Surrogates.

olillywales:
Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, has condemned the relocation of Boko haram prisoners to South-East Nigeria.

[img]http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/attachments/yinka-odumakin-350x232-jpg.53708/[/img]

Yinka Odumakin, Afenifere spokesman alleged moving of the prisoners was like spreading Ebola patients who ought to be confined to a special ward.

He said, ''Moving Boko Haram Prisoners is like spreading the Ebola Virus which is supposed to be confined. We, the South-West people, kick against moving the prisoners to South-East Nigeria. We should contain Boko Haram and not spread it''.

Now we are talking. The tranfer of Boko terrorist from their normal abode to the South East is the most irresponsible security decision I have ever seen after dismantling and re-mantling of military Road Blocks.
The administration of Duara Magician is a government of circus and flipflop decisions.

For negotiation to be possible with these demons, Boko Haram must first surrender their arms willingly by themselves. They must show REAL desire to quit acts of terror. Their repentance process must span 24 months. If no bombs flying around, no attacks on innocent people and no marauders go about killing villagers during these 24 months, then government MAY negotiate with them, otherwise nothing. Government cannot negotiate with demons when they are still transacting their demonic business.
At the moment, there is NO basis for Negotiations with Boko Haram terrorist.
Unfortuntately with the APC led Buhari/Daura Magician administration, anything is possible. We are watching.

Instead of cementing our relationship with the BRICS and other fast developing economies in Asia and Latin America for mutualy exclusive economic development, our dear old Daura Magician is busy trying to sell us out to the West. When will this administration get it into their heads that the West hate Africa and Nigeria in particular Did they think the United States will help Nigeria tackle her Challenges for the benefit of the citizens Have they sad down to evaluate US government's involvement in black countries like Jamaica, Haiti and Liberia These countries except Jamaica are a shadow of gross poverty and underdevelopment. It is interesting to note that despite close proximity to the US and her large economic market, Haiti, a land with great economic potential is as poor as Mozambique. Compare that with Japan that is thousands of miles away from the US but striving economically in trade and investment from the United States and you will realise that Western governments hate the idea of having a black country economically developed like Japan or South Korea.
For Nigeria and Africa to progress, they must trade with one another and stay away from the West or be consume like Haiti.

I can't see any sense in this analysis of yours. it does not even correlate in the slightest.

I don't expect you to understand the point am driving at.

Kastonkastroll:
you just displayed your ignorance with the nonsense you just dropped up there. What did bill gates and his assets got do to with the topic at hand? Wetin even concern NLG tax with bill gates again? mehn na wa oo

Don't worry. You will understand my line of argument in Fullness of Time.

I thought the Duara Magician said he has abolished the Office of the first lady

Before you blame GEJ for Nigeria's current debt, let me remind you that Nigeria's debt profile is a collection of all previous governments right from 1960.

PassingShot:
"Virtually empty" is a relative term.

Discerning minds understand that a treasury which has about $30bn instead of around $100bn is virtually empty especially when the huge debts we owe are factored in. it's like you having a thousand naira in your account while owing ten thousand. Would you not consider yourself broke at that particular time even though you expect salary at the month end?

I am done lecturing you. Typical TANoids have fish brains!

Let me give you another analogy: Bill gates is the richest man in the world right? Good. Now is his wealth measured in value or liquid cash saved in Banks? Value of couse. If his wealth is measured in value,what do you think that means Good. It means that Bill gates have money generating capital assets. He may not have up to $10 billion liquid cash in his account but he is valued at more than $70 billion. Why? Assets. Even if he gives out all his $10 billion to charity, bill gates can never be broke. Why is that? Because he has assets geneting revenue on a daily basis.
Now you ask me why will I claim to be broke when I have money generating assets generating income on a monthly basis

lolaxavier:
What exactly is your point? Don't you understand the topic? Na wa o.

Some day you will understand what am talking about.

PassingShot:
Read your earlier post again and reconcile it with this one.

Was PMB right to say the treasury was "virtually empty" or not? Or, do you expect him to say the treasury was robust based on the fact that some remittances were coming in June, July and the rest months of his tenure.

I should be the one to say I don't reply your type.

You need to get this straight, the National Treasury can NEVER be empty! Why do I say that? Because the FG generates funds on a monthly and yealy basis through royalties, taxes, sale of natural resources and license fees. Why will a sane leader raise alarm over empty treasury when the Nation's money generating assets are still functioning With the monies acrued to the government in the month of july from NLG tax and sales, do you believe the treasury is still empty
