Duh!!! You do not boast with what is not yours
The owners of the oil have spoken: 97 now and 141 in the near future.

About time. Good riddance to evil rubbish. Enough of talk, talk, we need action. Let Odua go, now!!!!!
Where is Odua leader Becomerich?

Like I posted previously, in this matter of subsidy removal, the argument of the feds (represented by Ngozi, Sanusi and Diezani) was superior to that of labor and the civil society.

Notice how Jonathan reduced fuel price from N141 to N97 (instead of increased from N65 to N97). Hahahahah!!

In any case, 97 is a good start; it is victory against the cabals (Otedola, Tinubu, Otudeko, etc) and victory for the poor masses who in time will realize it. In a few months the entire subsidy goes.

Like I also wrote previously, the real protest starts if we do not see the fruits of the subsidy removal trickling down to the poor.

It is good to dream, and now we have confirmed who the poorest Nigerians are  

it is good to dream and now wr have confirmed the poor nigerians. una no fit buy fuel

Don’t hijack protests, A-Ibom Deputy Gov warns politicians
On January 16, 2012 · In News

Deputy Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Nsima Ekere, yesterday, cautioned politicians in the country to desist from hijacking the anti-fuel subsidy removal protests for political purposes.

Speaking on Sunday during a thanksgiving/interdenominational service held by Engr. Edikan Eshiet, the Executive Director (Projects) of the Niger Delta Development Commission, at the Glorious Life Gospel Church International, Uyo, Ekere described as disingenuous a situation where politicians who lost elections last year (read: ACN/CPC) were seeking to destabilise the country by hijacking the protests.

The Deputy Governor, who represented Governor Godswill Akpabio, advised such politicians to respect the sanctity of the ballot box and wait for the next election instead of seeking power through the back door.

He argued that fuel subsidy removal was actually in the best interest of the country as what was being subsidised was importation and not local production, pointing out that the removal would create jobs for the teeming unemployed youths and boost the economy of the country.

Mr. Ekere commended the people of Akwa Ibom State for the maturity and restraint exhibited during the protests.

He commended Engr. Eshiet for recognizing the place of God in his life by holding the thanksgiving service and expressed confidence in his ability and that of other top officials of NDDC.

Katsumoto,

Please perish that propaganda that Nigerian military is incompetent. Yes it is agreed that they are corrupt, but in terms of training, they have some of the best training in the world. In terms of infantry, apart from the British and maybe the Indians, I do not see other countries better than the nigerian army. please ask any army officer the amount of training they undergo in various countries.

The Nigerian army is no longer as lopsided as before. Every state is well represented in the rank and file (thanks to your brother Obj) to the extent that an Igbo man is now the COAS and another was the CDS until recently. Thus, it will be an equal fight to finish. Besides, oil money will be handy to get bombs and other arms. This is not 1966. Dont pray for war, it wil consume you.


BTW, are you going to join with the North again? Awo is no longer alive

Nigerians In Diaspora Remit $1.7 billion Home Yearly
From Simeon Nwakaudu, Makurdi

NIGERIANS in the Diaspora remit over $1.7 billion yearly to family members and friends at home, an avenue of finance that can be exploited by the Federal Government for national development.

This disclosure was made by Prof. Toyin Falola of the University of Texas, Austin, United States (U.S.), during a public lecture he delivered at the Benue State University, Makurdi on Thursday.

Speaking on the topic "Citizens at Home, Citizens Abroad and the Globalisation of Knowledge," Falola declared that Nigerians in the Diaspora make huge remittances that could be translated to the good of the nation annually.

Falola, who was invested with the Julius Nyerere Professorial Chair of Modern African History by the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Paul Akase Sorkaa, on the same day, disclosed that during the Olusegun Obasanjo administration, he suggested the introduction of a Diaspora Tax for Nigerians abroad, especially in the West, as their contribution to national development.

However, he stated that such a tax might be impracticable because of the challenges of corruption and the application of resources that may accrue there from.

He said: "If the Nigerian Civil War had taken place 20 years after the time it took place, it would have lasted more than three years because the Igbo in United States alone can finance the entire civil war."

Falola noted that several countries of the world have taken advantage of their large Diaspora communities to finance development back home, saying that Nigeria  should do the same.

He stated that the State of Israel came into being and was nurtured into the technological giant it is today through the financial contributions of its Diaspora community in the U.S.

Falola also cited the Philippines as a country where highly qualified nurses are trained and sent out to work in other countries and pay Diaspora taxes to their home country for its growth.

He regretted that in Africa, the situation is such that highly qualified professionals were trained only for them to migrate to other developed nations, due to harsh economic realities, where they contribute to strengthen the economies of their host countries.

The don stated that Africa lost 13 million of its citizens to the developed world through slavery, while the harsh economic realities of the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) drove another 15 million to Western countries in the 1980s.

Falola said: "I am proposing the practical and academic integration of Africa with its Diaspora citizens in many ways that ideas, goods and people can freely circulate for the upliftment of all so that we can move to the centre of world history."

In his remarks, Prof. Sorkaa said the university was moving towards collaborating with the Nigerian intelligentsia in the Diaspora to develop a stronger academic environment that would help the nation.

Occultist,

All the Dokuba rantings are just emotional outbursts with no semblance of reality.

First there is no unity among the NigerDelta tribes, every other tribe distrust each other, especially the Ijaws who are renown for land grabbing. So even having a common front among the nigerdelta is not possible.

Then this is more an Ijaw struggle because GEJ is ijaw, if the president had been from another Nigerdelta tribe, I am sure Dokubo and co would not be ready to die for him. Just like Oghara youth were ready to die for Ibori.

Then most important of all, even if all the nigerdelta and the Igbos align together, they can not face a Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani alliance. It would be a massacre worse than the 1966 genocide. They do not have enough trained soldiers, military hardware including planes and international support to fight them. Remember (1) the hausas have the full support of Britain and )2) the Yorubas has lots of influence in the us.

1. Not anymore, with BH showing whom they truly are

2. Care to give examples?

So again you are waiting for Oyinbo to fight your war? I dey laff ohh

Clearly, a certain section of Nigeria contains two-faced hypocrits. They need watching over 24/7. Who knows what trick they will pull next?
They have been busted by this thread.

If you think the Ijaws or any other NigerDelta tribe would join your Biafra, then you must be Living in dreamland.

North uses BH and religion to intimidate the country
Yoruba used OPC to intimidate the country and position Obj very well.

Faseun Canvasses Support for Obasanjo
By Tokunbo Adedoja
Traffic was yesterday brought to a stand-still for about three hours on the old toll-gate/ 7up axis in Ikeja following a rally organised in support of President Olusegun Obasanjo by the founder leader of the Oodua Peoples Congress(OPC), Dr. Fredrick Faseun.

The rally, which kicked off at about 11am was attended by hundreds of members of the Yoruba militia group from various parts of Lagos and neigbouring states in the Southwest.

The large turn-out of the members of the group who came in about 100 buses hindered the free flow of traffic along Oworonsoki/Third Mainland bridge, Ojota, and Maryland.

The rally, which was the second Faseun would organised for Obasanjo, was however peaceful without any interference or molestation from the police.

Addressing the rally, Faseun who spoke in Yoruba scored Obasanjo's administration high on all fronts, maintaining that the regime has brought the country out of the woods.

He specifically stated that Obasanjo's leadership qualities have brought peace to the country and praised the President for "removing thieves, robbers, fraudsters and deadwoods from our public service".

The OPC leader, who spoke occassionally in proverbs to buttress some of his points maintained that, the president has successfully launched the nation back into the comity of nations through his virile foreign policies since it assumed power.

He added that an example of the dividends of the foreign policy of the government is the forthcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting(CHOGM) and the State Visit of Queen Elizabeth of England.

According to him, this is significant because the same Commonwealth suspended Nigeria in the days of Abacha and consequently made Nigeria a pariah nation.

He also cited as example the recently held All African Games(COJA) saying that all these show that Nigeria has been fully re-integrated into the world socio-political environment.

The OPC leader chided the president's critics, describing them as pessimists and adding that Rome was not built in a day.

He consequently called on them to give Obasanjo a chance to develop the country and complete what he called the good work the administration has started.

He urged Yorubas to rally round Obasanjo, their kinsman adding that should he be disgraced out of office, it will take the Southwest up to 2047 to produce another Nigerian president going by the four years, two-term formula.

He threatened those that may be planning to remove the present admnistration from power, adding that OPC is solidly behind the president.

"They think because he does not enjoy Yoruba support, they want to upset him. If they should force Obasanjo out of office, we will tell them what OPC stands for", he said.

He, however, dispelled rumour that he was sponsored by the government to stage the rally saying "all of you know me, I can't be bribed, but no one's child can be so bad that the parents will throw him out for wild animals to consume him".

Onlytruth,

Let me give you a truth to take with you to bed tonight.  In the days of Cocoa export as Nigerian cash crop, the whole country subsisted on the income.  Same with groundnut.  Today, it is oil.  As long as Nigeria remains one, as long as your SS and SE continue to ooze oil. . . . West and North are happy to co-own Nigeria with you.  Now, if that is too bitter for you to swallow, then this new coalition of SS/SE need to appeal to your son, Gej and direct him to create corridors between you and the rest of Nigeria, pending when Biafra is soon actualized and you can stop sharing your oil with West and North. 

Failing this separation, you and your SS cohorts need to take a chill pill and be content with what we hand to you as your share of the oil revenue.  You have more people in Lagos than any other ethnic group.  Right?  Well, guess what?  That means Lagos gets more share of Oil revenue than any other state.  You have billions of Igbo indigenes in Kano, right?  Then Kano should follow behind Lagos in revenue allotment.

Liar. At that same time the East had palm oil and coal. Why do you guys lie with so much gusto?

Yes, the SS needs SE help to checkmate the SW and the North
What is good for Obasanjo is good for GEJ
As for the North, they have used intimidation ever since Nigeria came into  being.

Imo’ll survive fuel subsidy removal – Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, insists that the people of Imo State would strengthen their doggedness and entrepreneurship to survive the pains of the hike in fuel price occasioned by the fuel subsidy removal.
He said this while addressing commercial transport operators, bus and taxi drivers at the Hero’s Square, New Owerri.

The Imo State governor noted that the hike in petroleum price by the Federal Government was necessary for the proper management of the nation’s resources.

He informed them that following the penchant of some unscrupulous Nigerians for fraud, the subsidised fuel had, over the years, been smuggled to neighbouring countries leading to the under-utilisation of the nation’s refineries.
Okorocha stressed that with the removal of subsidy, investors would establish refineries, create jobs and utilise the abundant gas deposits in Imo State for the good of the people.

The governor used the opportunity to call on Imo citizens to remain calm even on the face of provocations by the Boko Haram sect in the northern part of the country, adding that government in Imo would guarantee the safety of lives and property in the state.
“Vengeance belongs to God. Boko Haram is a group of people who do not want peace. Hausas are not attacking Igbos. Don’t attack any Hausa,” he said.

He also asked his audience to join him in thanking God over the absence of kidnapping in the state during the festive season and enjoined the people to help in eradicating the menace.
The governor also told the commercial transporters to join the state government in according the late Igbo leader, Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu, a befitting burial in February this year.

Mr. Chikeremba Gregory, chairman, Drivers Welfare Union, Imo State, in a brief speech called on the state government to create spacious parks, consolidate the dues they pay and dissuade security operatives from harassing and extorting money from commercial transporters in the state.

In addition to human resources, Igbo has enough oil and gas in Igboland to last a life time.

Then in 2003 they voted 100% for him.

The rally, which was the second Faseun would organised for Obasanjo, was however peaceful without any interference or molestation from the police.

Addressing the rally, Faseun who spoke in Yoruba scored Obasanjo's administration high on all fronts, maintaining that the regime has brought the country out of the woods.

He specifically stated that Obasanjo's leadership qualities have brought peace to the country and praised the President for "removing thieves, robbers, fraudsters and deadwoods from our public service".

The OPC leader, who spoke occassionally in proverbs to buttress some of his points maintained that, the president has successfully launched the nation back into the comity of nations through his virile foreign policies since it assumed power.

He added that an example of the dividends of the foreign policy of the government is the forthcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting(CHOGM) and the State Visit of Queen Elizabeth of England.

According to him, this is significant because the same Commonwealth suspended Nigeria in the days of Abacha and consequently made Nigeria a pariah nation.

He also cited as example the recently held All African Games(COJA) saying that all these show that Nigeria has been fully re-integrated into the world socio-political environment.

The OPC leader chided the president's critics, describing them as pessimists and adding that Rome was not built in a day.

He consequently called on them to give Obasanjo a chance to develop the country and complete what he called the good work the administration has started.

He urged Yorubas to rally round Obasanjo, their kinsman adding that should he be disgraced out of office, it will take the Southwest up to 2047 to produce another Nigerian president going by the four years, two-term formula.

He threatened those that may be planning to remove the present admnistration from power, adding that OPC is solidly behind the president.

"They think because he does not enjoy Yoruba support, they want to upset him. If they should force Obasanjo out of office, we will tell them what OPC stands for", he said.

He, however, dispelled rumour that he was sponsored by the government to stage the rally saying "all of you know me, I can't be bribed, but no one's child can be so bad that the parents will throw him out for wild animals to consume him".
