For those blaming GEJ for the FRC code of corporate governance, this is what Reno Omokri has to tell you

WEEKS after it wrote off the Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, umbrella body of monarchs, leaders and stakeholders of the coastal states of Niger Delta, the Presidency has constituted a fact-finding team, headed by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, to traverse the beleaguered area and obtain first-hand information from the people on the problems and reasons for the frequent conflicts between the region and government.
The team will start its job at Oporoza, traditional headquarters of Gbaramatu Kingdom, Delta State and home base of ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, which is the heartbeat of the current agitation. File: Osinbajo, Kachikwu PANDEF, convened and led by former Federal Commissioner for Information, Chief Edwin Clark, had, November 1, last year, submitted a 16-point dialogue issues to President Muhammadu Buhari at a meeting in Abuja, but barely two months after the ice-breaking parley, the Presidency indicated its unwillingness to discuss with the group, saying it was searching for credible leaders of the region. Home base of ex-militant leader A source told NDV: “The Osinbajo team is not the much-expected Federal Government dialogue team, but a body put in place to go round the communities in the region to ascertain and assess what actually happened.
The Federal Government wants to know exactly what the problems are from the horse’s mouth, after which it will determine the way forward; probably a dialogue team can now be set up and all that. “For now, the Federal Government is in the dark about the real issues at stake, that is the reason for travelling around.” Besides, the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate, NDGJM, which is still opposed to PANDEF, the most fearsome militant groups in the region, Niger Delta Avengers, NDA; Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND; Reformed Egbesu Boys; Adaka Boro Avengers and Niger Delta Revolutionary Crusaders, NDRC, gave PANDEF the mandate to dialogue with the Federal Government. Professor Osinbajo’s team was supposed to have commenced the tour in the first week of this month, but it was shifted to today, January 10. However, at press time, NDV gathered that the date has been rescheduled again. Looming trouble: However, the Federal Government’s decision to sidetrack PANDEF in the dialogue process could be tricky, as Avengers, which gave the body the mandate to negotiate with government last August, announced resumption of hostilities, last Saturday, on account of government’s bungling of the dialogue process by refusing to dialogue with Niger Delta leaders. Other militant groups, which also ceased bombing, are likely to join soon, a development that could possibly hinder the assessment tour by Osinbajo and his team.

Welcome development: Executive Director of Academic Peace Associates Peace Works and facilitator of Niger Delta Dialogue Contact Group, NDDCG, Chief (Dr.) Judith Burdin Asuni, aka Mama Niger Delta, told NDV: “We have been waiting for senior government officials to come to the Niger Delta for one and a half years. We welcome such a visit and hope that it is a sign of genuine political will. Tompolo “On June 29, 2016, HRM King Alfred Diete-Spiff, Ambassador Nkoyo Toyo and I met with President Muhammadu Buhari to present the report of our June 10 Niger Delta Dialogue. The President ordered the Chief of Staff to set up a team to study and implement the report. We heard nothing further. “On November 1, 2016, another team, PANDEF, met with the President, who again said that government would look into the issues of the Niger Delta. We hope that the government is now ready to engage the people of the Niger Delta in genuine dialogue and mutual efforts at addressing the issues. We all need to get out of this recession and seek peace and security.” FG can’t decide forN’Delta leaders Environmental and human rights activist, Ann-Kio Briggs on his part, asserted: “He is the Vice President of this country, as such he is free to go wherever he wants and needs to go to, Oporoza, being one of such places in the Niger Delta region. “It amazes me when Nigerian officials talk about peace in the Niger Delta; there is no war in the Niger Delta. Rather, what we have in the Niger Delta is reaction to over 50 years of abuse, neglect, disrespect, environmental devastation, injustice and oppression of the people and region of the Niger Delta. “It is, therefore, a wrong impression bordering on deceit or lies to say the Federal Government is seeking for peace. As a stakeholder, I expect the Federal Government to accept the responsibility it owes Nigeria and the Niger Delta region and people by listening to our long-term demands for justice and equity. “I started with leaders as far back 1958: late Harold Dappa Biriye, Adaka Boro, Ken Saro-wiwa, to the Kaiama Declaration, Ogoni, Itsekiris, Urhobo, Ibibio, etc bill of rights, the demands made by MEND in 2004/2005 before Tompolo, Dokubo-Asari, Boyloaf, Ateke Tom, Fara, John Togo, Shoot at Sight, etc, accepted amnesty as then offered by the late President Yar’Adua. “It is rather unfortunate and insincere for the Federal Government to say it is looking for credible leaders. It is another way of running away from the reality it must face. Niger Delta is made up of over 30 different nationalities and it is these nationalities and only they that have the sole rights to determine who is a credible leader to them, from their nationalities. “For instance, in Rivers State we have different nationalities from all the six Niger Delta States (South-South geo-political zone). Every state has different nationalities, except in Bayelsa where all are Ijaw. Therefore, in Delta for instance, will the Ijaw man speak for the Isoko man? Will the Urhobo man speak for the Itsekiri man?
In my own beloved Rivers State, will the Ijaw man speak for the Ikwerre man, or will the Ogoni man speak for the Egi man. Demands for equity and justice “The question is if the Federal Government is credible or sincere in its quest to finding a solution to the Niger Delta peoples demands for equity and justice or it is just attempting its usual deceit so they can access oil and gas quickly to fund its budgets? “As a stakeholder, we can only listen and watch the government and the people they want to discuss with. If it is what we want, we the people will say yes. If it is not, we will say no.” Divide and rule tactics: Secretary General of the United Niger Delta Energy Development Security Strategy, UNDEDSS, Mr. Tony Uranta, told NDV: “I laugh; who does the Vice President believe he will be holding any talks with? Maybe he will visit Okrika, Eket and Kalabari next. “Personally, I believe this visit by the Vice President will just create good optics for him and the Presidency, whilst adding even less value to the development, security or peace processes regarding the Niger Delta than did the same Vice President’s farcical flagging-off, over eight months ago, of the environmental remediation of Ogoniland, which the whole world knows has not been followed up on till date. It is a shame that this administration is more intent on show than on substance. “This is nothing more than a puerile attempt to institutionalise the divide-and-conquer tactics that have dominated feudal-style politics and created more motion than movement. “All citizens of Gbaramatu Kingdom are part of PANDEF, so PANDEF will be present when the VP arrives, but I can foresee that the reception may not be as pleasant as the Villa may have been misled into thinking it will be. “The VP has the right to visit any part of the country, but the continuing attempt by the Federal Government to ignore the urgent need to announce its team and sincerely commence dialogue with the Niger Delta as represented by PANDEF, as evinced by all this empty show-boating for photo-ops will soon backfire to the chagrin of all Nigerians.”

Time for change: President, South-South Media Professionals, Elder Asu Beks, who spoke to our reporter, said: “We need to replace this set of commercial activists, who themselves, have become part of the problem in the region. They have nothing to offer except their selfish interests and greed. “All of them have failed to realise that the music has changed and so there should be new dance steps. Our problems in the region are profoundly huge and cannot be tied to the payment of hand outs to former armed agitators. Where is the Niger Delta master plan? Where’s the Mitee report? Where are the cottage industries? “Where are the model cities? How has the 13 per cent derivation to the oil bearing communities been managed? How do we remove the NDDC from being a cash cow of the Presidency? How do we ensure that the Federal Character Commission does not give out our places in job recruitment? How do we stop gas flaring? How do we commence the clean-up of our region? “All these are questions begging for answers, which our current commercial activists are not interested in asking. The time for a new rhetoric in the region is now.”

Osinbajo should travel by boat Chief of Staff to the Delta State Government, Tam Brisibe, asserted: “It is definitely a welcome development that the Vice President is visiting Oporoza and I hope he would travel by boat from Warri, so he can get a feel of how the people live. The demands of the Ijaw are straightforward; a sense of understanding of their plight by the Federal Government. “I am not too sure it is the responsibility of the Federal Government to determine who should negotiate for us; they should be prepared to dialogue with anybody we send. As far as I can tell, everyone we send is a credible leader.” President of the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, Udengs Eradiri, vowed: “They (Vice President and his men) are moving round circles. Oporoza visit is not the issue: the Nigerian Maritime University, NMU, Okerenkoko, resumption date does not require visits or meetings.”

Better to jaw jaw Member representing Patani constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon Timi Tonye, said: “It is a step in the right direction. What is needed in the agitations coming out of the Niger Delta is jaw-jaw and not war-war. Dialogue as an instrument of resolving conflict in a democracy cannot be over emphasised. I support this over-delayed movement. Speaking on the proposed visit, President, Niger Delta Security Watch Organisation of Nigeria, NDSWON, Dickson Bekederemo, said: “The Vice President coming to Niger Delta region is a good omen to the most neglected and economically-battered region. We have been wailing that the Presidency should come and see the conditions of the inhabitants of the environment that is feeding the rest of country for it to appreciate the circumstances and issues that always triggered violent agitation. “His coming will, therefore, create a window for the Presidency to appreciate the yearnings of the people and the need to return to the people their God-given resources in order to enable them develop their region at their own pace. It is also my expectation that the needless and unjustifiable pursuit of some persons whose only sin is a valid contractual relationship they executed with Federal Government, will be addressed.” Declare state of emergency:
Environmental activist, Morris Alagoa, also declared: “While the move is a welcome development, it is not new. Jonathan did go to the creeks as Vice President too before amnesty was eventually offered, as recommended by the Ledum Mitee-led Technical Committee on the Niger Delta. “If it is another move to treat the Niger Delta problematic as a movie, then it would be too bad and most unfortunate. There is practically nothing new to be suggested to the FG as there are reports with far-reaching recommendations about the Niger Delta just gathering dust in the drawers of the FG. “It would be fine if the Vice President would be able and sincerely convince those he will meet in the creeks that the Federal Government has the political will and ready to squarely address the issues of development and environmental degradation in the region. “For instance, there is need to apologise to the people of Gbaramatu/Oporoza and restore damages done to property and pay for lives lost. Then, the Federal Government should declare a state of emergency to develop the Niger Delta. “The issue of true federalism is very important, and he should tell stakeholders why Nigeria is running a unitary system instead of a federal one.”

Bobrisky declares N45,000 aso ebi for house-warming party

By Rotimi Agbana
NIGERIAN male barbie, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as ‘Bobrisky’, is set to throw a big house-warming party after the acquisition of his new five-bedroom duplex in the Lekki peninsula area of Lagos State.

The party which is suspected to be a ladies only affair is organized by the Instagram sensation, Bobrisky, to celebrate the completion of his newly acquired apartment which has been under renovation for about two months now.

Sharing news of the party on his Snapchat page, Bobrisky revealed that aso ebi for the party goes for N45,000, and it is available for ladies only. “My aso ebi for house warming is 45k, green and silver for ladies only. I’m doing a big house warming party”, he boastfully wrote.

Since he announced the aso ebi sales, mixed reactions have continued to trail his hilarious decision to sell aso ebi for a mere house warming party for such amount. Shortly after he made the announcement, the social media went agog with reactions from his fans and critics. Many condemned his decision while others continue to laud his move as a unique one.

ExxonMobil headquarters shut ON DECEMBER 15, 20166:19 PMIN NEWSCOMMENTS The Lagos headquarters of U.S. oil major, ExxonMobil has been shut, following a standoff with blue-collar oil unions over the sacking of 150 workers. Members of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) besieged the office of the oil giant, protesting the sacking of Nigerian workers. The standoff is coming on the heels of a similar development on Wednesday in Upkenekang Community in Akwa Ibom, where angry youths disrupting the operations of the company over the sacking of contract workers from the area. The protesters, numbering over 1,000, barricaded entry points to the company with boats, coffins, leaves and placards, having different inscriptions. The Chairman of the ExxonMobil Branch of PENGASAN, Mr Paul Eboigbe, confirmed the closure of the company’s Lagos office. He told newsmen that the management of the company went ahead to issue sack letters to worker, while negotiations were still going on. He said the union had to resist the action of the management and went ahead to shut down the Exxonmobil headquarters. Eboigbe directed the company’s workers at offshore locations to shut down rigs. The unionist said the company’s management disregarded laid down procedures and humiliated workers by serving them sack letters when all avenues to achieve a peaceful resolution were yet to be explored. The South-West Branch Chairman of PENGASSAN, Alhaji Tokunbo Korodo, said that picketing of ExxonMobil office was also being carried out by members of the union. Korodo noted that the picketing was as a result of the anti-labour practices of the company. He urged the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity to take up the anti-labour practices of International Oil Companies (IOCs), operating in Nigeria. Korodo disclosed that the national body of the union had said that its members would embark on strike after the New Year holidays, if nothing was done to resolve the situation. “This is just the beginning of our strike against injustice against our members working with IOCs. “Our members now wear red clothes and put leaves on their trucks to show the injustice by these people. “We have resolved to commence strike next year if government does not find a solution to the exploitation by IOCs,” he said. The Manager, Media and Communications of ExxonMobil, Mr Oge Udeagha, said the company was always evaluating its operations. “We invest for the long-term and focus on maintaining a stable, well-developed workforce and are committed to treating our employees with respect in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. “This is a limited programme that will impact a relatively small fraction of employees,’’ he said of the disengaged workers. “Special benefits specifically introduced for this purpose will be paid to affected employees, consistent with existing labour agreements. “The company is also arranging special programme to support the transition from the company for those affected. “We respect the rights of our workforce and will continue to engage with them to resolve this situation,’’ Udeagha said

It's only GOD that can save this country.

This thread was created to showcase my snail farm as away of encouraging the unemployed youths to explore the golden opportunities that lies within, in other to attain financial freedom without having to remain idle "while waiting on their choice employment". And also, to motivate and unveil to the working class the flexibility in snail farming. Thereby making it a very good way of doubling their sources of income. As it often requires most attention in the evenings/night, minimum startup capital, very low morality rate, good return of investment, etc.

Agriculture remains the only way out, most especially in this present economic reality in Nigeria. This is why, going into the agricultural sector will not only make us self-sufficient but to increase income base.

Cost depends on if you want to use reinforced block to construct which is higher than mobile tarpauline ponds, each of the layer of 9inces block to be used must be filled with concrete in ratio 6:1, that is 6 head pan of sands to 1 bag of cement, the plastering must be at least 4inches thick inside. Or you can use mobile tarpauline, then you have to source your fingerlings or juveniles from a reliable source, don't buy runts as they will never grow. It is advisable to use floating feeds for the first 2 months, then water management is essential. For more details visit www.aquaparadise.com.ng

Newcastle United’s managing director issued an apology to fans after Wednesday’s relegation from the Premier League, saying the club were “devastated” and “truly sorry”. Bitter north-east neighbours Sunderland’s 3-0 win at home to Everton on Wednesday was enough to put Newcastle in the Championship as they were consigned to the dreaded drop the alongside Norwich City and Aston Villa. “Tonight we are devastated at our relegation from the Premier League, as I know every single person connected to this football club will be,” said managing director Lee Charnley in a statement on the club’s website. “I want to thank all of the fans for the support you have shown for the club you love throughout the season, in spite of this massive disappointment and underachievement. “Your support throughout has been magnificent, but I want to pay particular thanks for the incredible backing you have given to Rafa (Benitez) and the team during the latter part of the season.

Abuja—The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has made a major breakthrough in pinning down and obtaining first hand information from the major beneficiaries of the $115 million (N24 billion) payout by former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, through the former Managing Director of Fidelity Bank. Apparently relying on information provided by the former MD, who was quizzed and released by operatives of the commission last week, EFCC intensified its grilling of top Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, members who shared the loot a few hours to the last presidential election. In a bid to recover the N1.2 billion received by the Edo and Cross River states chapters of PDP, EFCC, yesterday, questioned the former governor of Cross River, Senator Liyel Imoke, to shed light on how the N500 million the state got was used and his role in the sharing and utilisation of the money. EFCC operatives Imoke, who is being questioned for the first time since the cash scandal broke out, was taken in along with the state PDP Chairman, Ntufam Okon, who reportedly collected the N500 million the state chapter received out of the N24 billion cash bonanza. Similarly, the former Deputy Governor of Edo State, Chief Lucky Imasuen and former Secretary to the State Government, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, were quizzed for hours at the Port Harcourt Zonal Office of EFCC over N700 million they reportedly collected and shared. The questioning of the three key PDP officials coincides with the admission by two former ministers in the administration of former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, Musa Sada from Katsina State and Asabe Asmau Ahmed from Niger State, that they actually collected N1.1 billion of the slush fund ahead of the presidential poll last year. While Sada told EFCC investigators that he collected N700 million and handed over the cash to the state’s finance commissioner as instructed by the state governor, Ibrahim Shema, Asabe Asmau disclosed that she kept N105 million out of the N450 million of her state’s share for herself and handed over the balance to PDP in the state. However, EFCC is insisting that they should refund the amount they collected from the bank since it was taken from public till. EFCC is likely to charge the former ministers to court. An official of the commission told Vanguard last night that the officials being questioned had made useful information available to operatives and that such information was being studied to be able to make the next move. “We want the money back because the money was taken from the public treasury and we have made it very clear to all those involved in the looting and sharing of the huge cash,” the source said. Meanwhile, sources close to Ize-Iyamu said he would address the press in Benin, today.

about 100 dollars per barrel the then govt said fuel will b
sold for 140 naira after subsidy removal. Now, that the
price is around 40 dollars per barrel, how come the price

I came across this pic online and decided to share it.

I don dey suspect this nairaland to be shielding the APC government. Also closing threads posted against the ruling party

Even if he is a thief, does that give the government the right to disobey court order? Or to re arrest him with charging him to court and denying him access to his lawyers? Why are we so biased? In advanced countries even a murderer is granted bail not to talk of someone who stole. And the court is in a better position to determine that.
