This vanguard always give a wrong caption in order to give this administration a bad name. The article said BH attack a community different from what the headline is insinuating. This is the reason why Baba never granted any conversation with our local journalists since last presidential media chat. What an unprofessional journalists we have in this country. |

| Politics › On Niger Delta Avengers by Naijacitizen(op): 2:00pm On May 25, 2016 |
Culled from DailyTrust Editorial. Several years since the Amnesty Programme unveiled by President Umaru Yar’adua administration brought relative peace to the Niger Delta region, restiveness and destructive militancy have returned through the activities of a new group that calls itself Niger Delta Avengers. In recent times the group has blown up vital oil and gas installations, leading to sharp drops in both crude oil export and gas supply to power stations. Its activities have reduced Nigeria’s oil production to 1.6 million barrels per day from 2.2 million barrels. Reduced gas supply to the thermal stations has also caused blackouts all across the country. Government responded to the Avengers’ criminality by ordering the military to crush the group. Suspected leaders and sponsors of the group have been arrested and detained. Government has a duty to contain any act of lawlessness and threat to national interests which the activities of Niger Delta Avengers constitute. It is noteworthy that the Avengers do not enjoy any community support. Community leaders in the Niger Delta region have roundly condemned the group’s activities. Among those who have raised their voices were several ex-militant leaders, notably Chief Tompolo who incidentally is having issues with the law as a Lagos High Court had issued a bench warrant for his arrest. Others include Chief Tom Ateke and recently Gbomo Jomo, spokesman of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta [MEND]. The Avengers’ renewed agitation and insurrectionary attacks on vital oil and gas infrastructure baffles most Nigerians because over the years, much political attention has been given to the problem of the Niger Delta and there has been substantial flow of resources into the region. Beyond the statutory allocations to the region’s state and local governments, other resources flow in through the Niger Delta Ministry, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), the Federation Account’s 15% derivation fund as well as sundry interventions by oil companies and multilateral development agencies. The truth however is that these interventions and resource inflows have failed to change the picture of the region for good. Abject poverty and environmental degradation is still the lot of the region’s people. This does not in any way justify a return to militancy but it does invite government to reassess the methods and agencies responsible for channelling resources into the region. They have also been a series of sporadic protests by ex militants who have cried out over their exclusion from the largesse by the administrators of the remediation packages. Even MEND in its condemnation of the Avengers cited the incontinence of the present remedial measures especially the Amnesty Programme Office, which it accused of corruption. The foregoing points to the need for a new approach to the Niger Delta issue if the region and the country shall enjoy lasting peace. Such an approach should provide for a more sustainable protocol for managing the expectations of the region vis a vis the exploitation of the vital resources there. Some observers have already likened Niger Delta Avengers to Boko Haram. In some respects that is true but in other respects, Niger Delta agitation can at least be tackled in a rational manner. For instance, the Avengers are demanding that the 2014 National Conference’s recommendations as pertains to the region should be revisited. One of them is the increase of the derivation fund from 13% to 17%. Another recommendation calls for the setting up of a special intervention fund for the region. Other parts of the country may not be happy with some of these recommendations and may not view the Conference that made them unfavourably, but the government can still discuss these matters in the National Assembly and other councils. A good starting point is to provide effective coordination for all the ongoing remediation efforts in the region. Niger Delta Avengers should end their violent campaign while a peaceful solution is found to these issues. http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/editorial/on-niger-delta-avengers/148317.html |

| Politics › Re: Herdsmen Killing Nigerians Are From Libya – Buhari by Naijacitizen(m): 11:57am On May 15, 2016 |
So, many of the commentators here chose to comment based on headline? SMH! It seem you have 'fantastically' hatred for your leader. There is no where did the PMB says the fulani herders that are killing innocent Nigerians are from Libya. Rather he is stating the other problem of insurgency facing our dear country which was as a result conflict within the state of Libya. Below is his response on the cattle herders: The problem is virtually as old as Nigeria itself. Culturally, the herdsmen don’t stay in one place. They move with the season. Normally, harvest is completed much earlier in the north. Then they have to move southwards for green pasture. In the first republic, there was what they called cattle routes and grazing areas. They were marked. Infrastructure were put in terms of windmills, earth dams, even veterinary clinics. Now after first republic, people turned these places into farms. And if you have 500 cows, if they don’t eat for 24 hours, or need water, you can’t stop them [from moving around]. |
| Politics › Buhari Speaks On Herdsmen, Militants And ‘selective Probe’ by Naijacitizen(op): 8:02pm On May 14, 2016 |
During the week in London, President Muhammadu Buhari spoke on burning national issues to journalists from four media houses, including TheCable. Below are the excerpts. ON A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THE HERDSMEN CRISIS The problem is virtually as old as Nigeria itself. Culturally, the herdsmen don’t stay in one place. They move with the season. Normally, harvest is completed much earlier in the north. Then they have to move southwards for green pasture. In the first republic, there was what they called cattle routes and grazing areas. They were marked. Infrastructure were put in terms of windmills, earth dams, even veterinary clinics. Now after first republic, people turned these places into farms. And if you have 500 cows, if they don’t eat for 24 hours, or need water, you can’t stop them [from moving around]. What they used to do then is that if anybody went outside the cattle route, or outside the grazing area, he would be arrested, taken before an alkali’s court, fined. If he can pay, okay. The money is taken and given to the farmer. If he can’t pay, the cattle is sold and the farmer is paid. People were behaving themselves. So when people came and took away the land for the cattle route, for the grazing areas, you find out that from Kaduna to Bayelsa, Nigerians are fighting cattle rearers now. But when I was in the Petroleum Trust Fund, we made a comprehensive study of cattle routes and grazing areas throughout Nigeria. I am referring the governors’ forum and the minister of agriculture and rural development to the report. Let them see what they can do and save the situation. Meanwhile, there seems to be some credibility that there are other than Nigerian cattle rearers involved. Now this is because of what happened in Libya. Gaddafi, during his 43-year regime, trained some people from the Sahel… militarily, he trained them. And when his regime was overthrown, those people were again dispatched to their countries. They are gone, carrying their weapons and they found themselves even in Boko Haram. It is a major regional and virtually African problem. They work with al Qaeda, with Boko Haram, and so on. It is a government project now to trace them, and disarm them and if necessary try them and lock them up. ON NIGER DELTA MILITANCY FLARING UP AGAIN I was elected by the whole country and the least I can do is to keep the country together. I assure you, we will develop the capacity to do it. If you could recall, I appointed a retired brigadier-general, Paul Boroh, and when I give people assignment and give them the terms of reference, I allow them to do their work. I spoke to the chief of naval staff and other service chiefs to work with him and help him to make sure that those who are blowing the installations and subverting investments in Nigeria, we will deal with them eventually. The militants are saying the agreement entered for the amnesty, including payments and training and employment were not being met. To the best of my knowledge, these are their grievances. So we put this officer who is from there to revisit the agreement, and see which part the federal government needs to fulfill. ON THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PAYMENTS We have to secure Nigeria before we can manage it efficiently. And I assure you we are going to do that. We will try and develop confidence in our ability to do it eventually. ON IF HE BELIEVES IN PRIVATISATION I believe in privatisation. It is efficient. But we have to talk to those who make a lot of noise about privatisation. Their own privatisation, how successful is it? We are trying to be in a state of “beyond the token”. [For instance], if you claim to be a good farmer, how much investment did you put into it? Then we help you with tractors, with advisers, to make sure you do produce. We give you seeds and fertilizers. But we don’t just believe whatever you say. ON CHIBOK GIRLS NEGOTIATION My problem is that you just don’t produce five [and say you want to negotiate]. Over 200 girls are missing. We need at least 50, to be sure they are safe, and we join them to their families, take them back to their schools, then we can negotiate. Whatever they did in the past is not the issue. All we want is to recover the girls. ON HIS ASSESSMENT OF THE ANTI-CORRUPTION CRUSADE So far, what has come out, what has been recovered, in whatever currency, from which ministry, department and individuals, I intend on the 29th [of May] to speak on this because all that Nigerians are getting to know are from the newspapers, radio and television because of the number of people arrested by EFCC, DSS. We want to make a comprehensive report by May 29. ON PUBLISHING THE NAMES OF THOSE INDICTED Eventually, it has to be done because we want to successfully prosecute them. But you know you can’t go to the court unless you have the documents to do your prosecution – where some of these people sign for these monies, send it to their personal bank accounts. Their banks gave a statement that the money is there when it came how much of it available and so on. ON ‘SELECTIVE PROBE’ OF PDP CAMPAIGN FUNDING The accusation will be against the law enforcement agencies. But I can assure you we don’t interfere. Try and get the list of those who are now under arrest, either with EFCC or already taken to prison, you will find out that it is across the board. ON IMPLEMENTING THE BUDGET DESPITE LATE PASSAGE It depends on the technocrats. We have six months to implement the budget. But you know why there was a delay. There is something called “padding”. I’ve been in government since 1975. I was governor of the north-east state, which is now six states: Borno, Yobe, Bauchi, Gombe, Adamawa, and Taraba. Then I was in Obasanjo’s cabinet, in the petroleum ministry, for three and a quarter years. I was head of state for 20 months. I never heard the word “padding” until this year. I never heard about it. And what does it mean? It means that the technocrats just allow the government to make its noise, go and make presentation to the national assembly, so they will remove it and put their own. So, when we uncovered this, we just have to go back to the basics again. Ministers again had to go and appear before the minister of budget and planning and make presentation again. And this was clearly brought out by the minister of health. I saw with my own eyes, nobody told me. I was watching NTA. He appeared before a committee. And they said, ‘Oya, minister, come and defend your budget.’ He looked at what they presented to him as his own budget and he said I have nothing to defend. They said what do you mean, and he said this is not what I presented. And subsequently we discovered that it was not only the ministry of health. So they allow you to talk rubbish as government and then they do what they like. http://abusidiqu.com/buhari-speaks-herdsmen-militants-selective-probe/?UA-34095171-2= |
