| Foreign Affairs › The Guardian View On Kamala Harris’s Speech: The Democrats Have Liftoff by McDoe(op): 8:31am On Aug 25, 2024 |
∆ The Chicago convention capped a month that has changed US politics. But there are 10 weeks still to go Little more than a month ago, what the Democratic party has achieved in Chicago this week would have seemed unthinkable. Yet, in a few short weeks, the party has dumped a stumbling Joe Biden as its nominee, seamlessly installed Kamala Harris as his unchallenged replacement, acclaimed Tim Walz as her running mate, reinvigorated its campaign and its finances, and made itself competitive against Donald Trump again. If that was not enough, Ms Harris’s acceptance speech on Thursday topped off a convention week that at times brimmed with commitment and enthusiasm. It all adds up to a textbook political transformation. It has had many in the party pinching themselves in disbelief. Though they all left it dangerously late, those who made this happen deserve the gratitude of millions, and not just in the US. The campaign has now achieved as powerful a liftoff as could have been hoped in the circumstances. Yet this is only the start. There is still an election to win, an election that will shape America and the world. The feelgood mood in Chicago will turn to ashes if Mr Trump is elected. Ms Harris had two particular tasks this week. The easier one, as it has turned out, was to unite the party and send it out into the campaign in an energised and winning mood. This was never really in doubt during the week, although it came at the price of a ruthless marginalisation of the party’s most pro‑Palestinian supporters. The harder task was for the vice‑president to use her primetime speech to demonstrate a personal evolution into someone whom Americans can see and hear as a potential president and commander in chief. She succeeded in this too, and with something to spare. There were obvious nerves at times, a useful reminder of the vertiginous remaking of her life that has taken place so suddenly, and which may make her the most powerful woman on the planet in a few months’ time. Nevertheless, by opting for seriousness, rather than rhetoric or knockabout, Ms Harris showed that she measures up to what matters most about the presidency. It also established one of many contrasts with Mr Trump – “an unserious man”, she called him. She described herself as realistic and practical, and she made a practical speech, not a dazzler. She focused on working- and middle-class voters, but without extolling trade unions, as Mr Biden would have done. She ticked boxes – the cost of living, housing, foreign policy (including Palestinian statehood) among them – rather than trying to touch the oratorical stars. Though she reflected on her own life story and her “unlikely journeys”, Ms Harris did not major on issues of identity. In its most powerful section the speech focused on the Republican threat to women’s reproductive rights. But the overriding tone was inclusive and unifying, another dramatic contrast with Mr Trump. Now, though, the Democrats must put the balloons and the Kamala merchandise aside, and kick on. Ms Harris must kick on too. This is her party now, not Mr Biden’s, the Obamas’ or the Clintons’. There has been an uptick in the polls, and the convention may generate another. The Democrats have had an often spectacular week. But there are another 10 weeks in the campaign to go, they face a brutal, unprincipled foe, and things could get tougher. So far, so good. But this is a very tight presidential contest indeed, and it is nowhere near over yet.

| Politics › Nigeria May Cease To Exist In 3 Years If.. -Don by McDoe(op): 12:43pm On Aug 24, 2024 |
The Director, Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Dr. Sam Amadi, has expressed fears that Nigeria as it is known today may cease to exist within the next three years if the current maladministration and mismanagement of its resources continues. Amadi said this in a keynote address at a capacity building workshop organised by Political Commission of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). for leaders of political thought, in Abuja, yesterday. He accused President Bola Tinubu of playing “exclusionary politics” and ruling “with the tiniest minority of any president". He accused President Bola Tinubu of playing “exclusionary politics” and ruling “with the tiniest minority of any president.” The University scholar said, “There is an extreme urgency to get Nigeria out of intensive care unit and into a general hospital ward where recovery, revival and regeneration can commence. "The country is terminally sick. The only difference between Nigeria and a person in intensive care is that Nigeria is presently not receiving any care". According to him the way youths especially in northern states of Kaduna, Kano and others marched through the streets without any fear for their lives during the last #EndBadGovernance aka #Hunger Protests, demonstrated how close the nation was to self destruction. He said, “It tells us the recklessness that could become Nigeria’s revolution if the current hunger and hopelessness continue”. He called for electoral reform and “real and radical party restructuring.” Using the Labour Party, as a basis for his analysis, Dr. Amadi stated, that the party has a chance to reform itself and rescue Nigeria from her present problems. According to him, Labour Party is important to sustainable economic and social development of the country because, “it is difficult to conceive of a working democracy without a working political party system.” He decried the absence of aggregate of opinions and ideology among the existing political parties, noting that although the nation’s “first republic ended in a civil war and the second republic ended with military coups, the quality of democracy in those periods are far better than today.” Political parties of the two republics, he noted, “tried to aggregate opinions and perspectives about the natural question and tried to mobilise intellectual and human resources to present a vision of national development.” Amadi expressed regret that existing political parties in Nigeria failed to aggregate any coherent ideological vision of the country’s developmental future, nor do they evince any organisation strength. Adding, “We don’t have the luxury of well-managed parties anymore", He described the existing parties as Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) only used for getting to political offices. Amadi said, “Politicians proudly talk about parties as mere SPVs, vehicles to get to power and either discard or mismanage,” he said. He described political parties as the heart of politics and for advancement of public interest, warning that politics will descend to the level of unconcealed and unmediated fight for private interests if political parties do not act as “arbiters and moderators of incommensurability and incompatibility of plural societies.” Acting Chairman of the NLC Political Commission Prof. Theo Ndubuaku, blamed Nigeria’s developmental challenges on what he called broken politics. Prof. Ndubuaku called for political reconstruction and committed political leadership hoisted on ideological and pragmatic persuasions to remedy the ill of the successive years of bad governance. He said, “As a Political Commission, we are committed to changing the narrative not by mere polemics or sloganeering but by active engagement with the political process. “In this regard, we are conscious of the paramount role of knowledge as an enabler of effective political thought and action. “This is the reason the NLC Political Commission developed and disseminated a Workers’ Charter of Demands in the run up to the 2023 general election,” he explained. The Charter of Demands, according to him, covers the gamut of social, economic and broader political concerns in the polity. He disclosed that they were used to engage candidates who contested the 2023 general elections from different political platforms including those who contested under the Labour Party. “The NLC Charter of Demands became a rallying pillar for the advancement of issue-based politics and popular participation in the 2023 general election. "The impact of our engagement with the political class delivered some measurable markers with which Nigerians are using today to assess the performance of public elected officers especially on the issue of the petrol subsidy and the payment of decent wages to workers", he added Source: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/08/nigeria-may-cease-to-exist-in-3-years-if-don/ |
| Crime › Efcc Arraigns Man For Alleged N600m, $50,000.00 Investment Fraud In Lagos by McDoe(op): 5:11am On Aug 23, 2024 |
The Lagos Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, August 19, 2024, arraigned one Ayodele Toyosi for an alleged investment fraud before Justice A.M. Lawal of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja. The defendant was arraigned alongside his companies, Reaprite Global Limited and Agrorite Limited, on an 11-count charge bordering on obtaining by false pretence and stealing to the tune of N600,150,000,00( Six Hundred Million, One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira only) and $50,000.00( Fifty Thousand United States Dollars). Investigation revealed that the defendant allegedly defrauded a number of persons on the pretence that he had an interest-yielding investment in agricultural export. One of the counts reads: “That you, Ayodele Toyosi, Reaprite Global Limited and Agrorite Limited, sometime in June 2023 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, dishonestly converted to your own use the aggregate sum of N200,000,000.00 (Two Hundred Million Naira only) belonging to one K. C. Akoson Investment Limited and Kenneth C. Maduakor by dishonestly representing to them that you will help them transfer the said money to their importers in China whereas you expended the money for your personal use and committed an offence contrary to Sections 278(1) (b) (f) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.” Another count reads: “That you, Ayodele Toyosi, Reaprite Global Limited and Agrorite Limited, sometime in June 2023 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, by false pretence and with intent to defraud, obtained the aggregate sum of N300,000,000.00 (Three Hundred Million Nara only), belonging to one K. C. Akoson Investment Limited and Kenneth C. Maduakor by dishonestly representing to them that you will help them transfer the said money to their importers in China, whereas you used the money to purchase a property known as Plot 17 Pinnock Beach Estate, Anyiran Town, Eti Osa Local Government Area, Lagos and committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1)(a) and punishable under Section 1(3) of the Advance fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006.” He pleaded “not guilty” to the offence. In view of his plea, prosecution counsel, G. C Akaogu, prayed that the defendant be remanded in the EFCC custody for continuation of the investigations of other petitions pending against him. Responding, the defence counsel, Olalekan Ojo, SAN, prayed the court to remand the defendant in the Ikoyi Correctional facility. He also sought a date for the hearing of the bail application. After listening to both counsel, Justice Lawal adjourned the matter till August 21, 2024 for the hearing of the bail application and also remanded the defendant in Ikoyi Correctional facility.

| Politics › It Is Not Subsidy: NNPC Ltd Explains Why It Sells Fuel At Lower Than Landing Cos by McDoe(op): 11:37am On Aug 20, 2024 |
✓ Reported by NAN The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) says it has not paid fuel subsidies to anyone in the last nine months. The Chief Financial Officer of the company, Alhaji Umar Ajiya, made the clarifications on Monday in Abuja. Ajiya said NNPC Ltd. was only handling Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) importation shortfalls between the company and the federation. “In the last eight to nine months, NNPC Ltd. has not paid anybody a dime as a subsidy; no one has been paid Kobo by NNPC Ltd. in the name of subsidy. “No marketer has received any money from us by way of subsidy. “What has been happening is that we have been importing PMS, which has been landing at a specific cost price, and the government tells us to sell it at half price. “So the difference between the landing price and that half price is a shortfall. And the deal is between the Federation and NNPC Ltd., to reconcile, sometimes they give us money, so there is no money exchanging hands with any marketer in the name of subsidy,” he said. He stated that credit lines are prevalent in downstream businesses based on the worldwide commercial system. He added that the company was in an open credit agreement with PMS suppliers in the past, with term-line contracts for payment. Also, Dapi Segun, the Executive Vice President of downstream at NNPC Ltd., said that establishing an open credit agreement with suppliers spoke volumes about the credibility the national oil company had built over time. “Concerning the outstanding to the suppliers, it is not in that magnitude that has been put out, it is lower than the $6.8 billion. "What really matters is the relationship between us and our suppliers to ensure that we keep faith in making these payments to our suppliers, which we have done over time. “You would understand that it is not a static figure, and I wouldn’t want to quote any figure. When we make payments, it goes down, and when they supply products, it goes up. “It is a dynamic way, but the most important thing is to ensure that we continue to make PMS available across the country,” he said.
