₦airaland Forum

The new militant group, Joint Niger Delta Liberation Force (JNDLF), that
threatened to launch six missiles tuesday, has vowed to target key
government institutions, including the State House, Abuja.

Also listed for hit in Abuja are the Defence Headquarters, Department of State
Services (DSS), Police Headquarters, the National Assembly Complex, Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Towers, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),
Supreme Court/Appeal Court, NLNG office and Agip headquarters.

Others on the militants’ radar include Chevron headquarters and Exxon Mobil,
both in Lagos; the Kaduna Refinery and all military formations in Abuja, Lagos,
Kaduna and Benue States.

But worried about the debilitating effects of the militants’ violent activities on
oil production, the mainstay of the nation’s economy, the federal government
said yesterday that it had constituted a committee to engage the militant
groups who have continued to bomb oil production facilities in the Niger Delta.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, who
disclosed this to reporters monday night in Abuja, explained that the move
was aimed at halting the deadly attacks, which had made Nigeria’s oil
production drop to 1.6 million barrels per day (mbpd).

Kachikwu said the team to dialogue with the militants would be coordinated by
the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), and it would include
himself, the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Usani Uguru; and select thought
leaders; kings and influential individuals from the Niger Delta.

He said the government would take its time to engage the militants, adding
that their activities had seen the country’s oil production drop in volumes.
“The president has appointed a team led by the NSA and I serve in one of
those, to begin the process of a very intensive dialogue with those caught in
the middle of this,” said Kachikwu.

He further stated: “I am sure that in the ensuing one week, the intensity of that
dialogue will wrap up.”
To allow for the dialogue, Kachikwu said: “The NSA is going to be working with
the various arms of the armed forces to descale the intensity of military
intervention in the area within a week or two so that dialogue can take place.”
“We are making contacts with everybody who is involved, the ones that we
can identify, through them, the ones that we can’t identify so that there is a lot
more inclusiveness in this dialogue.

“Our prayer is that this works so that we can resort to dialogue rather than use
of force,” he added.
Speaking more on the character of people who would be part of the dialogue,
Kachikwu said: “In terms of those on the committee, the NSA, myself, the
service chiefs, the list itself is expanding as we put the final touches in place.

Let's try and diagnose this carefully

I think he just nailed it!

President Buhari's Federal Excuses Council by Reno Omokri

On January 22, 2016, I tweeted a joke which went viral. I had said that at
meetings of the Federal Executive Council, the minister of information, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed, would address members and say ‘turn to your neighbour and
say, neighbour have you blamed Jonathan today’!

Yes, it was a joke, but like most good jokes, it had and still has a basis in
reality!

The President and his ministers appear ill prepared for office and the evidence
of this is their inability to take responsibility for the situation of things in
Nigeria.

Was it not John Burroughs who said “a man can fail many times, but he isn’t a
failure until he begins to blame somebody else”?
Those words should be embossed on a plaque and placed in a very prominent
location at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa.
Seeing this admonition weekly may help members of the Federal Executive
Council take responsibility and stop acting the victim.
For example, Nigerians were shocked when the minister of Information, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed, said in December of 2015 that the Jonathan administration,
which had left office six months ago, was responsible for the biting fuel
scarcity the nation was and still is grappling with.

That statement by Mr. Lai Mohammed is a classic case of psychological
projection (a psychological disorder characterized by a patient defending
himself against his own unpleasant realities by denying the existence of the
reality while at the same time blaming another for it).
And it gets worse. It is bad enough that this administration refuses to take
responsibility for its own failures, it also wants to take credit for the success
of others.

In a treatise bothering on megalomania, the publicity and communications
team of President Buhari’s office claimed the implementation of the Treasury
Single Account (AKA TSA) as the major achievement of the first 365 days of
the Buhari administration.

But for a government that prides itself on anti-corruption, that statement,
fraudulent as it is, is dishonest and ‘fantastically corrupt’!
First of all, the Treasury Single Account WAS NOT an idea of the Buhari
administration and secondly the present government DID NOT initiate its
implementation.

The TSA was conceived by the Jonathan administration and there was to be a
staggered implementation because from an expert point of view, it was
thought that if all Federal Government funds were suddenly pulled out of the
commercial banking sector in one fell swoop, the shock on that sector would
be so immense that it would trigger job losses and perhaps bank failures. It
was thought that a gradual implementation would allow banks recover such
that the baby would not be thrown out with the bath water.

Enter the Buhari administration which, in a hurry to claim credit, did not tread
with caution, but in one fell swoop forcefully withdrew all Federal Government
funds with the threat of sanctions to non compliant banks.

Rather than claim this as an achievement, this administration should chalk this
one up as a big failure because in their rush to implement something that
should have been gradual they have unleashed an unintended consequence on
the banking sector such that Nigerian banks over the last year have shed
something like 50,000 jobs.

As a matter of fact, the pro-Buhari Leadership Newspaper had as a major
headline on September 12, 2015, ‘Banks Begin Massive Sack Over Treasury
Single Account’!

Yet, even as the reality of their rushed action stares them in the face, a
Presidential spokesman has the nerve to accuse former President Jonathan of
lacking the will to implement the TSA!

And the excuses continue! In order to explain away its lackluster performance,
various ministers and mouthpieces of the current administration have been
touring media houses blaming the precarious state of the economy on the
refusal of the Jonathan administration to save for the rainy day when crude oil
prices were high.

In fact, President Buhari himself said “In the First Republic, more enduring
infrastructure was built with meager resources. But in the past 16 years, we
made a lot of money without planning for the rainy day.”

But even as this administration is set on revising history, it should not be
forgotten so soon that the Jonathan administration met about $6.5 billion in
the Excess Crude Account, ECA, and increased it to almost $9 billion by 2012.
However, the Nigerian Governors Forum, using their influence at the House of
Representatives, had gotten that August body to declare the Excess Crude
Account illegal in 2012.

So excruciating was the pressure from the NGF and most notably from the
then Rivers state Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, for the Jonathan administration to
end the Excess Crude Account and the Sovereign Wealth Fund and instead
share the funds in those accounts amongst the three tiers of government that
they approached the Supreme Court, to challenge the legality of the Excess
Crude Account and Jonathan’s decision to transfer $1 billion from that
account to the Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Working in tandem with Amaechi and his supporters in the NGF, the then
minority APC members of the House of Representatives approached a Federal
High Court on the 7th of February, 2014, for a perpetual injunction restraining
the Jonathan administration from operating the ECA and to pay all the
proceeds of that account into the Federation Account for sharing amongst the
three tiers of government.
So it is quite clear that President Buhari made the accusation he made on April
4th, 2016 without cross checking the facts or consulting history. If the
President is not happy that more funds were not saved in the Excess Crude
Account, he should call a Federal Executive Council meeting and ask members
to get up and point accusing fingers at his ministers of transport and Power,
Works and Housing.

In the last 365 days, the most consistent thing that has emanated from the
Federal Executive Council is blames, excuses, finger pointing and a refusal to
accept responsibility.

As at last count, the President and his ministers have excused their inability to
stem the economic tide, fully defeat Boko Haram, provide jobs for Nigerians,
maintain the availability of petrol, fix roads and improve power on the previous
administration.

The funniest thing is that just as the media team of the Buhari led Presidency
was reeling out its achievement in office on its first anniversary, two state
governors were also doing the same thing.

The shocking thing however is that if you get the list of achievements released
by Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike and Lagos state Governor, Akinwunmi
Ambode, and compare them with what has been released by the Presidency,
the shocking verdict is that in terms of tangible achievements, like roads built
and houses constructed and public infrastructure, both of these states have
individually outperformed the Federal Government!

Do not take my word for it. Google their released anniversary documents and
compare and contrast them by yourself. Ignore such silly and intangible
achievements included in the Presidential list like ‘motivated the military’ and
‘no more road blocks and curfews’ (believe me, the President’s team listed
these as his achievements!) and focus on tangibles like roads constructed or
hospitals built etc and it becomes clear to even the most brainwashed Buhari
supporter that both Lagos and Rivers individually beat the Federal Government
hands down

Both Wike and Ambode took over from predecessors that did not really
support them and who left huge debts and a high monthly wage bill, yet
despite these seeming obstacles, both of them have proven the adage true
that you will either find a way or you will find an excuse.

And for those who are saying that it is not realistic to expect a new
government to achieve much, let me remind them that in his first year in
office, former President Jonathan did not deliver excuses or blames.
In fact in his first year, former President Jonathan revived the Nigerian Railway
Corporation and for the first time in decades the Lagos to Kano rail services
commenced in 2012 at a cost of ₦1500. He also built nine new universities
including the only federal university in Katsina state where President Buhari
hails from. Inflation reduced from 10.2% to 9.4% in his first year and remained
at single digits throughout his tenure. Average Life Expectancy increased from
47 years to 52 years (according to the UN). In the same period he also
launched the NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X satellites to expand Internet
Bandwidth and provide early warning to prevent natural disasters as well
established the Automotive Development Fund amongst others.

Many Nigerians must be wondering that if the Jonathan administration was as
bad as the Buhari government says it is, then how come he had to leave office
before they started experiencing double digit inflation, negative economic
growth rate and ‘budget padding’?

In conclusion, the word ‘execute’ means to carry out or put into effect
something. When you have a body of men and women who are not carrying
out anything, it is hard to see how you can honestly call them a Federal
Executive Council. What are they executing? Put it this way, are you an
executive if all you do is execute excuses?

Let's give the president a chance. He has good intention with for this country

Just came cross this on the Internet

Fool. Do you know the meaning of genocide?

x240:
And what would you say about a school that has all these and many more and tops it up with no strike for 16years running now?

Unilorin?

You have a good point here, I have my BSc in uniilorin, Pgde in ABU am in a better position to tell you which is the best

Reeberry:
Where is ABU when they are mentioning top 5 best universities in Nigeria?

This is piece of thrash!

ABU can't be in the first 5. To be in the first 5 you have to sort NUC but ABU don't Beleive in sorting and will never sort.

Hope you get it now .

[quote author=omma1 post=45325096][color=#006600][/color]

This is entirely not True, in BUK-Kano, you live a triangle life format, ur hostel, the lecture theatres and the library. No socially distracting activities, No entrant of ladies to men's hostel and No men entrant to Ladies histel... its strictly, study, study and study


BUK-KANO, FUTMINNA, ATBU, ABU and most nothernern universities operate on the same principle unlike thier counterparts .

How many graduates from other regions can swear that they have never sorted in one way or the other ?

#bigquestion

adanny01:
The best part is there is zero cultism and absolutely no sexual harrasment.

The only unfortunate thing is that you wont graduate with a grade you deserve, but atleast in competing with others you will be underestimated then lead.

Good . sorry I forgot to add the zero cultism and absolutely no sexual harassment part. This is what most universities can't boast of

swefty:
You don't just sit in zaria and assume nonsense. Since your school is so fab, how many first classes have they recorded in lawschool?

I don't know oh, but I heard that they also sort in law school and those who don't pay are intimidated. So tell me why a ABU student who is not used to that lifestyle . . . .

I must confess that ABU is the best school in Nigeria A school were you have NO option of sorting lecturers, you must read to pass, selling of handout is prohibited , NO submitting of assignment with money, NO exam malpractice (if caught its automatic rustication/expel), NO any form of extortion by lectures themselves or through class reps et .

90% of Nigeria graduates in other universities have sorted , paid for handout or assignment in one way or the other .

ABU is certainly the best and I will definitely go there for my masters .

An ABU graduate is ahead of you naturally.

#truetalk

Tiwa pls don't bother yoirself , he will definitely come begging. trust me

All applicant should meet on SUNDAY, 1st may? And thousands of Christians will abandon church today. What a pity.
I dare them to fix it on a FRIDAY and see, 90% of Muslims won't attended and then if they attended the will leave ths venue for thier various mosque once it's prayer time.

Wailer spotted!!! Am certain you knew not what you speak of. . you think people here will just swallow ur lie hook line and si... .. Whats the square mile of Bayelsa... Am very conversant with the state as ive spent over a year there.. The ineffectual buffon and the so called war lords collectively destroyed Bayelsa.. Go to their local govt offices on monday morning and see what goes down there.. Damn you can lie oo

Don't be ignorantly confident. Google size of state in Nigeria and get your answer.

You can't be ignorant forever

GudluckIBB:
Bayelsa that is not even as big as Yaba local govt area is supposed to be the most developed state in Nigeria given its size, small population and oil derivation they collect.

If jonathan has taken money illegally from CBN and use it to develop bayelsa to be like dubai, Nigerians would have pardoned him. But he was a vice president, acting president and president, yet his people don't have drinking water and passable road.

And he's busy telling the world that part of his achievement was that he meet dangote as the rishest man in Nigeria and when he got into power, dangote became the rishest man in Africa. Is that an aChievememt?


I was expecting him to list his major achievement as uprgrading his state to a world class city like dubai and china.




Even an helipad, he didn't build in his town, meanwhile, the man they call "dullard" has built an helipad in daura in his first 3 months in office.

Jonathan is a shame.

Nonsense!

Sharap!!! Why would you say Bayelsa is not as big as Yaba. For your information bayelsa is twice as big as lagos. Go get your facts right.

One slowpoke just commented that Yaba in Lagos is bigger than bayelsa. What a lie from the pit of hell. Please you all need to be informed, Bayelsa is over two times bigger than lagos state as a whole. Go get your facts right!

Why are APC supporters so hateful and deceitful. They are after bayelsa now.

A similar situation happened in Enugu, the moment the government declared Enugu airport free to fly to China, USA etc, the lagos APC supporters rushed to the media and start writing thrash claiming the Enugu runway is bad. The airport I just landed yesterday that is in a perfect condition.

For the same reason the LAGOS APC political touts did every possible and boost Jonathan out for the single reason that he said he will build seaport for the igbos in onitsha. They beleive this will draw importers to onitsha against lagos.

Jonathan tried a lot in bayelsa, South south, southeast, South West, and most especially the north. A man of equity.

Thanks

Very useless useless useless video. I regretted wasting my precious data to watch it. And nobody even set anybody ass on fire. lies

The New Nigeria Group, a Civil Society Organisation has called on the
federal government to sack the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT)
chairman, Danladi Yakubu Umar over allegations of corruption levelled
against him while maintaining that a ”wounded personality cannot be fair
in rulings.”

Also, the group has alleged that senior colleagues of the CCT chairman,
such as a former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mariam Aloma Mukhtar, and
former minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke had demanding the
removal of the chairman citing several allegations against him and the
huge embarrassment he had caused the profession which had made the
tribunal unable to sit.

The group made this known in a press briefing by Dr Kachi Ononuju,
insisting that for corruption to be fought to a standstill in the era of
change, a restructuring of the judiciary is required as the present
chairman is challenged and the tribunal used as a window to defraud the
country.

“After making a statement to the EFCC during the investigation of this
bribery scam, chairman of the CCT applied for and was granted bail. Is
this the kind of person to head the CCT which is established to ensure
the highest ethical standards of propriety and public morality in the
public service of the federation and states?

“It is our considered view that the chairman of the CCT has a strong
prima facie case of misconduct and breach of the Code of Conduct
hanging over his neck and cannot continue to pretend that all is well
when in essence, he is desecrating the system. The National Assembly is
called upon to initiate the process of his removal whilst the president
should suspend him from office pending when the legislative process is
concluded.

“The CCT judge should be removed as he lacks the will to fight
corruption. CCT should be an autonomous body and not under the
control of politicians. It should not be an appendage of political office
holders.”

Ifeanyi Uba on point

Ijaya123:
I had to go read the story again in case I missed where Uba was mentioned. Now I understand where you're coming from. One of those sentimental tribal lots suffering from inferiority complex who always at any slightest opportunity engages in needless boasting and empty chest-beating and when that is not possible, they play the victim card.

Abeg this yiur grammar too much. No vex

Lies, in which state? Saw it on the Internet last week Monday.
NO one can state exactly where it happened
