•Opposition Senators kick
•APC warns against attempt to cover up $9.3m scandal

By Celestine Okafor, Ignatius
Okorocha (Abuja)

There was uproar in the Senate on
Thursday, as the Senators approved
President Goodluck Jonathan’s
request for external borrowing of $1
billion to tackle the intractable
insurgency and security challenges in
the country.
Jonathan had on July 15 requested
for approval of the National Assembly
for a $1 billion external loan to
prosecute the ongoing war against
Boko Haram insurgency in the North
East states of Adamawa, Borno and
Yobe.
During its sitting on September 16,
Senate had referred the request to
the Committees on Finance, and
Local and Foreign Debts for further
legislative action and to report back
in one week.
Presenting the report on Thursday,
Chairman of the Joint Committee,
Ahmad Makarfi, who is also
Chairman of the Senate Committee
on Finance, told the session that the
loan facility requested for was not in
cash but for the supply of military
hardware to be paid for over a period
of seven years.
He also explained that the request
would be for a ceiling of $1 billion,
noting that the whole amount would
not be utilised at the moment.
“From the briefings by the relevant
stakeholders and documents
received, the joint committee found
that helicopters are crucial for
decisive victory against terror.
“Quick victory cannot be
accomplished without helicopters
because of the terrain and the nature
of the operations to be undertaken,”
Makarfi, former Governor of Kaduna
State, said.
He observed that the number of
helicopters in the fleet of the
Nigerian Air Force was inadequate
for effective deployment, pointing out
that lack of adequate funds for
maintenance, recent burning of two
helicopters by insurgents in
Maiduguri and non-addition of new
helicopters to the fleet since 1998
were factors militating against
effective operations of the Air Force.
Makarfi also reiterated that the
requested loan was for the purchase
of helicopters, ships, armaments and
hardware equipment.
He said the 12 M135 helicopters
being requested for now were
appropriate for the nature of the
terrain and the operation.
Moreover, he disclosed that the East
European country, Belarus, had
accepted to give helicopters on
instalmental payments for a seven-
year period.
He urged the Senate to approve the
request in view of the urgent need to
quell the insurgency and all the
terrorist activities and restore
normalcy in the country.
However, uproar ensued when James
Manager (Delta, PDP), applying
under Order 70 of the Senate
Standing Orders 2011 (as amended),
urged the Senate to go ahead and
approve the $1 billion loan request
without subjecting it to debate
because of its security implications.
Hardly did he finish his statement
when All Progressives Congress
(APC) Senators raised objection,
insisting that such express approval
should not be granted.
Olubunmi Adetunmbi (APC, Ekiti
North) raised a point of order,
questioning the constitutionality and
legality of the proposed borrowing,
which, he argued, would violate the
1999 Constitution as well as the
Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007.
“Mr President, permit me to refer us
to Section 81 (a) and (b) of the
Constitution. Section 81 sub-section 4
reads: ‘If in respect of any financial
year, it is found that the amount
appropriated by the Appropriation
Act for any purpose is insufficient, or
a need has arisen for expenditure for
a purpose for which no amount has
been appropriated in the Act, a
supplementary estimate showing the
sum required shall be laid before
each House of the National Assembly
and the head of any such expenditure
shall be included in a Supplementary
Appropriation Bill’.”
He added: “Where any advances
made in accordance with this
provision of this section, a
supplementary estimate shall be
presented and a Supplementary
Appropriation Bill shall be introduced
as soon as possible for purposes of
replacing the amount so advanced.”
Deputy Senate President, Ike
Ekweremadu, in his contribution,
however, warned that Senate should
refrain from giving impression that
“one party is supporting insurgency
while another party is against it”.
His admonition drew a pungent
reaction from the opposition.
Femi Ojudu at this point raised a
point of order to the effect that
Ekweremadu’s statement amounted
to a dangerous insinuation.
But the Senate President, David
Mark, interjected that Ojudu had not
added anything extra, as according to
him, Senate was still discussing
“point of order”.
Mark said: “The question you ask is
whether Adetunmbi is right in what
he said or not and the simple answer
is no, he is not right. So please,
merely quoting the Constitution does
not make him to be right.
“Because he is quoting the
Constitution doesn’t mean he is right.
Please, I want us to address the issue
properly, I know he quoted
Constitution and he quoted from our
Standing Order but that is not what
makes him to be right.
“I will take few comments and I will
put the question, because this is
democracy. I am not a lawyer and so I
can’t say that these are legal issues
and if they are legal issues, they have
to be addressed separately.
‘Our understanding here is not
exactly like in the court of law.”
At this point, Mark pleaded with the
Senators to stop politicising the
President’s request for the
insurgency loan.
He, therefore, called or a voice vote
on the matter and those in favour of
the approval of the loan
overwhelmingly okayed it by a simple
majority vote.
In another development, the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has
condemned what it called obvious
attempt by the PDP-led Federal
Government, working with some
members of the National Assembly, to
cover up the smuggling of $9.3
million to South Africa on a private
plane.
It said the cover-up plans will fail
because the issues involved transcend
Nigeria.
In a statement in Lagos on Thursday
by its National Publicity Secretary,
Lai Mohammed, the party said the
cover-up attempt manifested clearly
at the House of Representatives on
Tuesday, when Deputy Speaker
Emeka Ihedioha refused to entertain
debate on a motion seeking a probe of
the issue “that has further ridiculed
Nigeria in the global community”.
It said the refusal of the Deputy
Speaker becomes even more
suspicious amid allegations that some
members of the House had each
received $50,000 bribe to quash the
motion.
APC, however, hailed its members in
the House for staging a walk-out to
protest the decision not to allow the
issue to be debated on the floor of the
House.
The party noted that while the Senate
has already launched a probe into the
issue, Nigerians would have
preferred that the probe was done
openly, instead of behind closed
doors, “so there won’t be any shade
of doubt about the transparency of
the investigation”.
It, however, expressed the hope that
the Senate will do a thorough job to
unravel the circumstances
surrounding the cash smuggling gate.
‘’It is shocking that those who were
elected by the people will fail to act in
the interest of the people.
“But then we in the APC are not
really surprised at this development,
going by the antecedents of the
Jonathan Administration and his
party, the PDP. Thank goodness,
everyday the PDP and the
government it has sired at the centre
are showing why they should not be
voted back into office,’’ it said.
Also commenting on the $9.3 million
cash seized by the South African
government, Lagos State Governor,
Babatunde Fashola, said the incident
has made Nigeria a laughing stock
globally.
Fashola who spoke on Thursday at
the 2014 Gani Fawehinmi Memorial
Colloquium held at the University of
Lagos (UNILAG), Yaba, lamented the
death late Chief Gani Fawehinmi,
saying he would have put the Federal
Government on its toes on the issue.
“The issue has made us mere stuff
worldwide. And this happened
because of the value choices that we
have made. Let us stop pointing
fingers at those people, you all voted
for them. They are representatives of
the values we have chosen to live
with.
“Will Gani have stood by and watch
without demanding an explanation on
how the money was spent. And how
N2 trillion was spent on oil subsidy
without appropriation.
“Also, how will he have reacted to the
stories of the disappearance of the
$20 billion or $49 billion depending
on what side you believe?,” Fashola
asked rhetorically.

@Op, my brother will barely have time for all of this when you are the president because you will have other pressing issues to attend to.

At least, six ministers may quit
President Goodluck Jonathan’s cabinet
in October as preparations for the 2015
general elections peak.
The affected ministers are expected to
resign their appointments in order to
pursue their governorship ambitions on
the platform of the Peoples Democratic
Party.

As of press time, the ministers who have
governorship ambitions in their
respective states include Senator Bala
Muhammed (Federal Capital Territory),
Mr. Labaran Maku (Information), Chief
Emeka Wogu (Labour), Mr. Nyesom
Wike (State, Education), Dr. Samuel
Ortom (State, Trade, Industry and
Investment) and Senator Musiliu
Obanikoro (State, Defence).
While Muhammed seeks to take over
from Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi
State; Maku intends to replace Governor
Tanko Al-Makura of Nassarawa State
and therefore win the state currently
being ruled by the All Progressives
Congress to the PDP while Wogu nurses
the ambition of succeeding Governor
Theodore Orji of Abia State.
Wike is interested in taking over Rivers
State from Governor Rotimi Amaechi;
Ortom has his eyes on the seat to be
vacated by Governor Gabriel Suswam of
Benue State while Obanikoro also plans
to take over Lagos State from Governor
Babatunde Fashola and the APC.
The President’s Special Adviser on
Performance, Monitoring and
Evaluation, Prof. Sylvester Monye, is
also nursing the ambition of becoming
the Delta State Governor after Dr.
Emmanuel Uduaghan.
Their imminent resignation is expected
to lead to a major shakeup in the
Federal Executive Council.
A Presidency source said the ministers’
exit would lead to the constitution of
“election cabinet” by the President.

“Their resignation will come very soon.
You know the President will have to fill
the vacancies that will be created before
the general elections in February 2015.
You also know that the Senate must
approve nominees.

“It is therefore important that the list be
forwarded to the senators before
everybody will be engrossed in election
matters in their various constituencies,”
the source said.

The Senate
on Thursday
approved
President Goodluck Jonathan’s
request of $1bn external loan to fight
the ongoing insurgency in the
country.

The decision was taken following the
submission of the report of the
Senate Joint Committee on Finance
and that of Local and Foreign Debt by
the Chairman, Senator Ahmed
Makarfi.

Makarfi said the loan request was not
in cash but supply of military
hardware to be paid for, over seven
years.

He said the interest terms rate could
not be indicated because it was the
suppliers of the military hardware
that would negotiate such agreement.

He said, “Also, the request is for a
ceiling of $1bn and not that, at the
moment, the whole amount would be
utilised.

“Government will procure on the
terms stated, based on needs
assessment of our security agencies.”
There was however, a mild drama on
the floor of the red chamber when
Senate President, David Mark; his
deputy, Ike Ekweremadu; and
Makarfi urged their colleagues not to
subject the report to a debate
because of its security implications.

But the Senate Minority Leader,
Senator George Akume; Senator
Olubunmi Adetunmbi; and Babafemi
Ojudu laboured in vain to frustrate
the approval of the loan.

Adetunmbi quoted relevant sections
of the Nigerian constitution to argue
that the loan request contradicted the
Appropriation Act, and Fiscal
Responsibility Act.

He further argued that Jonathan
should have requested for the loan
through a supplementary
appropriation bill.

However, Makarfi clarified that
Adetunmbi’s arguments were not
relevant to the matter because the
loan was not in cash.

He said the National Assembly would
be contacted by the executive for
necessary appropriation whenever it
was time to repay the loan in cash.
Mark therefore called for a voice vote
to determine the approval or
rejection of the loan.
Members of the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party in the upper
chamber voted in support while their
counterpart in the All Progressives
Congress voted against it.

Though everyone's entitled to their beliefs, and virgins and non-virgins both
present a unique set of advantages and
disadvantages. In figuring out who
your ideal woman is, you may want to
keep the following pros and cons in
mind:

An experienced woman

(*)Pros: Dating a non-virgin eliminates
the need to pretend you're a saint,
since some women may find men who
have slept around a turnoff. And if
you're both sexually experienced, you
can take your sex life to a higher level
and avoid those awkward beginning
stages.

(*)Cons: Guys who are virgins or have
less experience than their girlfriends
may suffer from a bruised ego due to
the woman's high level of experience.
They may also find it a turnoff if
they're looking for a woman with
mutual values. Even if you don't get
into specific numbers, this is a great
example of how one's past can
interfere with present relationships.

A virgin

(*)Pros: Some men take pride in being
the only man their woman has been
with; it's a territorial thing, I guess.
The guys get to play teacher and
hopefully customize their woman's
performance to suit their needs.
In yet another attempt to prove their
manliness, men often feel the need to
be the greatest in bed. And if she's a
virgin, then there's less pressure to
perform a certain way. Since she
doesn't really know what great sex
feels like, you can take your time and
enjoy the moment without the intense
pressure of having to be the best.

(*)Cons: If there's one problem many
guys have had when dating a virgin,
it's that she probably won't give in (at
least not early on). And if you're not a
virgin and have already had a taste of
what the pie is all about, it's going to
be hard a lot of the time (and I mean
that exactly the way it sounds).
As well, even if you are her first,
chances are that she won't be as great
as you'd imagine because, well, she has
no experience. Unforgettable MouthAction
is unlikely; let alone a woman who is
willing to try absolutely anything in
bed. Of course, there are the few who
are wild from the start, but chances
are that if you do find her, you'll always
wonder if she's being truthful. think carefully

In pondering over her sexual past:

*Don't let her previous experience (or
inexperience) be the only deciding
factor of your potential future together.

*Don't make generalizations about her
based on her past sexual encounters,
or lack thereof.

*Don't assume you have the right to
know everything about her previous love affairs.

*Ask yourself how much of an impact
her sexual history will have on your relationship.

choose wisely

Sex is a major component in most
relationships. And part of finding Miss
Right includes being with a person who
has the same sexual mentality and
physicality you do, regardless of their
saintly or sordid past.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 BY AGENCY
REPORT

Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle
Amosun, has appealed to the Presidency
to develop the oil-rich Tongeji Island in
the state to avoid losing it to the

Republic of Benin.

He said the skeletal naval base on the
Island could be expanded to ensure that
the presence of Nigerian government is
felt better in the area, to avoid a
situation like that of Bakassi Peninsula,
which the country ended up losing to
Cameroon.

Amosun, who made the appeal gave this
in Ipokia, Ipokia Local Government Area
during his visit as part of his Assessment
Tour of the 20 Local Government Areas
of the state, said Tongeji Island, has
huge potentials of increasing the
nation’s economy and improving the
livelihood of the people.

He said, “Tongeji Island is of serious
concern to me. Each time I see
President Goodluck Jonathan, I call his
attention to the need to as a matter of
urgency expand the naval presence on
the Island, which is rich in oil and other
mineral resources, so that it does not go
the way of Bakassi. If the Federal
Government does not register its
presence on that region on time, I pray
we do not lose it to the neighbouring
Republic of Benin.

“This is an island that has the huge
potential of improving the nation’s
economy and by extension, the livelihood
of the people of Ogun State.”

The governor also said arrangements
have been concluded with a world class
tourist outfit to make Akere community
in Ipokia Local Government area, first of
its kind tourist center in Africa.
He said the state government would
immediately commence the construction
of the 10km Ipokia-Akere road, which
leads into the Lagoon, adding that the
intention is to transform the community
into a tourism hub which it is originally
designed to be.

He said, “We have the longest seashore
in this country. One of the world’s
tourist outfits have done the designs and
planning on all they want to do here.
The investors, who were looking for a
place that has sea view and seashore
have chosen Akere in this part of the
state.

“They want to make Akere a totally new
town. They have done it in other parts of
the world. This is their first time in
Africa and Nigeria.

“I’m trying to envision what Akere town
would be in the next three years. It
would no doubt be the number one
destination of tourism in Nigeria.

“Without any delay, I have directed the
immediate construction of Ipokia-Akere
road and Agosasa-Ijofin road
respectively as well as a bridge before
Agosasa to further open up the Local
Government Area and fulfill the promise
of constructing two rural roads in each
Local Government Area of the state.”
While commending the forebears for the
initiative to cite a large expanse of palm
trees plantation on both sides of the
road to the riverine area, he affirmed
that the state government would as a
matter of urgency do the regeneration
of the old palms.

Governor Amosun assured that Ipokia
Local Government Area would be made
to have two Local Council Development
Areas, pointing out that one additional
model school would be constructed as a
starting point to having a full fledge
higher institution.

Chairman, Ipokia Local Government
Council, Mr. Isiaka Wale Aderounmu,
commended the governor for his various
development-oriented projects spread
across the state, thereby making Ogun,
a state to be reckoned with in the
country.

Snr. Correspondent, Lagos

Former Vice President and
presidential aspirant of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku
Abubakar, has bemoaned the high
level of impunity currently going on in
government circles, especially at the
federal level, saying something
urgent must be done to address the
anomaly.
Speaking in a chat with newsmen in
Lagos, Abubakar particularly took a
swipe at Minister of Petroleum
Resources, Diezani Allison-Madueke,
who, Abubakar said, has failed to
honour several invitations by the
National Assembly. He said he would
have fired the minister if he were the
President of the country.
The former vice president also urged
the media to maximise their influence
as the fourth estate of the realm to
check the excesses and impunity in
government circles.
“In my life in this country, I have
never seen the level of impunity go as
high as we have today. Like I said last
night, if I were a president and the
National Assembly summons a
minister for investigation, that
minister will feel reluctant to honour
the invitation, I will fire the minister
because constitutionally, the National
Assembly has the responsibility of
checks and balances.
“In my view, in the United States,
imagine Congress calling one
Secretary of a Department to come, if
he fails to come, they will not even
appropriate money for your
department and there is nothing the
President can do.
“That is not what we see in this
country. And I believe that working
together with the media, both of us
can check that impunity,” he said.

xcelsia: Hello you've got my attention, go ahead

I'd rather speak wit u on bbm, I invite u 22b03c26

Luserpool hahahahaha

xcelsia: Hi there, the average healthy male produces millions of sperm cells everyday. With all things being equal and given that you should be a healthy male then your problem is not "your tank being empty"

You might have a psychological problem, do you get distracted during intercourse? Are you stressed out? Are you busy worrying about expulsion instead of enjoying the moment?

Take time to caress your partner and engage in adequate pre-intimacy, be sure to stimulate your senses by exploring her body, enjoying her moans etc

Lastly, sexual intercourse is a beautiful exercise, if you're not mentally prepared for it with your partner then I suggest you wait till you're ready. Good luck

Common!

This is really strange, but it shouldn't be on politics page. Mod do something

Serious?

I hope it's not true?

@Godmother and Teema22, that's good contribution from you both. Hope the moderator can deem it fit to post this thread on FP.

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I was following CoreTv on Startimes before they had a break to show a piece where they as pple on the street the difference between a tailor and designer.
In my own opinion, tailoring is part of designing.

I will be glad u share ur idea.

By Dapo Akinrefon

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan
yesterday, in Lagos, expressed gratitude
to the members of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) for giving him
the right of first refusal to as the party’s
sole candidate for the 2015 Presidential
election.
President said this at the South West
sensitization and unity rally in Lagos.
Addressing party members, who defied
the rain to converge at the Tafawa
Balewa Square in Lagos, Dr Jonathan
said “I thank the party for giving me the
right of first refusal, that is what
happens in advance democracies. It also
shows that our democracy is maturing.
There are no dictators in the PDP. There
is no one who will determine the
councillor, local government chairmen,
state House of Assembly member,
House of Representative member,
Senator, governor and even president.
The decision is by the people, for the
people and that is why the PDP will
continue to new things. The Vice
President and I have promised not to
disappoint the people; the PDP will
continue to do the right thing and we
promise you that we will not disappoint
you.”
Transformation Agenda on course
Reeling out his administration’s
achievements, he said “you will see that
the government is moving. The signs are
there though we have not reached
where we wish to reach but government
is focused.

The Transformation Agenda is on
course. We will continue to make sure
that we create jobs for our youths, the
job creation, the VP mention, we are
taking it from various angles. In terms
of education, we are making sure we
improve the quality of education and
also enlarge the facilities.”
Speaking further, he said “when we
came on board, we noticed that a state
in the south west did not have a federal
university. We built a federal university
there, it is a small university but we will
continue to improve it.
We’re improving small and medium
industries to create jobs for our people
and we are providing soft loans to make
sure young men and women are
employed. We are promoting youth
programmes.
If we continue to create 3.5 million jobs
every year in the next few years, we will
see that the unemployment rate will
continue to drop.”
He, however, urged party members to
observe a minute silence for those who
lost their lives, recently in a building
collapsed, at the Synagogue Church of
All Nations in Lagos.

Commiserating with those who lost their
lives in the collapsed, he said “My first
port of call was where a six-storey
building collapsed and 80 people where
found dead and over 130 people were
injured. It was a very sad incident for us
and the international community
because most of the people who died in
that building collapse were non
Nigerians. About 65 of them were South
Africans. I spoke with the President of
South Africa to send our own
condolence.”
We’ll recapture South west—Mu’azu
In his remarks, the PDP national
chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu
expressed the party’s readiness to take
over the South west.
He said “we have lost three states in the
south west but we have started
recapturing our states starting with
Ekiti-State. By the grace of the almighty
God, in 2015, we will not only capture
our own state that have been taken over
by the opposition. As I always tell my
friend, governor Raji Fashola that we
are coming and indeed, we shall win.”

Speaking further, he said “I want to
assure you that the people of South west
are totally PDP. Everybody knows that
PDP controls the majority of the people
and indeed, the majority of the states in
the south west and I want to assure you
that we are battle ready, election ready
come 2015 to take over those states.
I want assure Mr President that your
leadership that has been so purposeful,
has been so committed that the people
of the South west and indeed the people
of Nigeria will reward you in the 2015
elections by re electing you as
President.
The team you have here, members of
the National Working Committee,
members of the Board of Trustees,
members of NEC and of course, all PDP
members are committed to your coming
back in 2015. We pray that God will
favour us.”

We’ll deliver South west for Jonathan–
Fayose
Speaking on behalf of the South west,
Ekiti State Governor-elect, Mr Ayodele
Fayose assured the president of the
region’s commitment in securing their
votes.
Fayose said “your adoption is all you
need to win a second term and it will
come with ease.
I have read the ranting of the other
people, we cannot allow them to bring
bad luck to Nigeria. We expect your
name to bring good luck to Nigeria. We
want to assure you we will deliver the
south west the help of our people. I also
want to assure you that results from the
South west will be shocking in 2015 “.

Why South west must vote for Jonathan
–Akpabio
In his remarks, chairman of the PDP
Governors Forum and governor of Akwa
Ibom State, Chief Godswill Akpabio
urged people from the south west to
support the President’s second term re-
election bid.

Jonathan deserves second term–
Obanikoro
Minister of State for Defence, Senator
Musiliu Obanikoro explained that the
President has done well and therefore
deserves a second term to continue with
his Transformation Agenda.

Senator Obanikoro said the party in the
west has resolved to “work for the re-
election of President Jonathan and we
are committed in working for him so
that he can continue with the good
works he has started not only in the
south west but in the country.
With all the good things he has done, he
deserves a second term.”
Also, a member of the PDP Board of
Trustees, Chief Bode George said “we
want to reassure you that all is well in
the South west PDP.”
