Jealous of Igbo? What is igbo legacy, the people that cannot stay in their region, the people that re synonymous to all vices. My friend go and sit down, I can never trade south west for any tribe.

Zico5:
I wonder how we get ourselves aligning with these set of people. It seems igbo has nothing good to contribute to the development of this nation rather than victimization. How is it your concerns if the president cut his salary or the only thing these people understand is corruption. That is why igbo can never rule this country. But I cannot rule it out in their Biafra kingdom. I just pity them cos they re not helping themselves at all

The start of the pogrom and military incursion into our polity.

Wished the igbo soldiers never toiled the path they did.

Contrary to the perceived lopsided siting of the intervention projects executed by the defunct Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund (PTF) in certain geo-political zones, the South-South zone got the lion’s share of the projects under the leadership of the former head of state and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Gen Muhammadu Buhari.

This development and other disclosures were contained in a document obtained by LEADERSHIP last night.

The PTF was an intervention initiative put in place by the late Gen Sani Abacha regime which was operated between 1995 and 1999 to invest in socio-economic infrastructure – including in road transportation and waterways, water supply, food supply, health and education – the gains that would accrue from a new pricing regime for petroleum products introduced in October 1994, from N3.25 to N11 per litre, an increase of N7.75 per litre.

During the four years of its operation, the resources available to the PTF, according to findings, represented less than 10 percent of the nation’s budget.

From its inception in May 1995, and more particularly from January 1996 when it received its first disbursement, the PTF worked diligently in the execution of its mandate through its programmes, with an objective of resuscitating the nation’s collapsing social services and deteriorating infrastructure.

According to findings, a working formula was adopted by the Fund that recognized three categories of projects and allocated funds available to them: federal projects, 48.5%; state projects, 50% and FCT direct allocation, 1.5%. The state project funds in turn were allocated to respective states/zones using a set of criteria that gave consideration to equity, population, land/water mass, terrain difficulties and needs assessment. The location and coverage of the

PTF programmes and projects were designed to carefully fulfill these criteria.

In terms of allocations made to fund PTF projects as at May 1999, out of an estimated total of 187 billion Naira to all projects and programmes, about 56.5% was committed on projects in Zones 1 (South West), 2 (South East) and 6 (South South), i.e. the zones in the south of the country. Zones 3 (North West), 4 (North East) and 5 (North Central) had a combined allocation of about 43.5%. Indeed, in terms of difficulties in natural terrain, the projects in Zone 6 (the South South), such as road construction, were the most capital intensive. The highest zonal commitment was on capital projects in this zone, with 26.2%.

In terms of actual disbursements to projects by May 1999, 52% of all disbursement was made in respect of projects in Zones 1 (South West), 2 (South East) and 6 (South South).

Shortly before the inauguration of President Olusegun Obasanjo, Buhari submitted his resignation from the Board of the Fund. The rest of the Board of Trustees effectively became dissolved at the point of scrapping the body, in late June 1999.

To score cheap electoral point.

Suddenly, petrol price have come down, clueless visits Maiduguri, forensic audit report of NNPC submitted, rickety trains commissioned, sambisa forest bombarded, etc.

ese are all issues people have been raising for months. How befitting a time to start dealing with them.

Too little too late Boss. My mind has been pretty much made up - you are going back to Otuoke.

Some of these are up to 16 years older than Buhari with a lot more others and the average age for world leaders is 60.3. If Buhari is 80 and has the wisdom, courage and dedication to move Nigeria forward i shall vote him 100 times over than vote GEJ without these essential leadership qualities.

an excerpt from the above post


However, in an interview with select journalists at
his residence in Lagos yesterday, the US
Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle, disclosed
that there was an agreement between Nigeria and
America on the provision of equipment and trainers
for the Nigerian military, which Nigeria failed to
honour.
He said: “We had, at Nigeria’s request, agreed to
train some battalion, in my opinion, some of the
best trainers in the world have been provided by the
United States. The agreement was that we would
provide the trainers and the Nigerian Army would
provide the equipment we need to properly conduct
the training and that was agreed well ahead of time
as part of our partnership.



dis is the same problem facing d military concerning boko haram, there is nt enough and good weapon to fight the war.
They can't Ve money for equipment because the resource if for GEJ to fly jet everyday, add to fleet of jet, Use For campaign.

Jonathan don't care about us,all he know is money flowing into him and his cronies account.
we don't want a compassionless president anymore.
we want intelligent kind, and seasoned leader
we want buhari
we want change

GEJ and his administration seem to be learning from Tinubu's successful revenue collection system, implemented in Lagos and many other states. I wonder what took them 6years to do this. Barawos

I wonder why they left it this late or maybe the fear of #buhari is the beginning of wisdom. All we want is a better Nigeria doesn't matter who win 2015 just a better Nigeria.


Youths in the house say #NO to these old politicians. Am hoping to see a 20 - 30years old person in the House of Rep come 2015 otherwise the youths in Nigeria are total failure. instead of channeling our energy on voting out this old cargos we are here on social media playing to the tunes from the drums of the people we have been hearing their name since we were in our mothers womb

I know you have a problem understanding English language.

catholic says Mary intercede for them and u are missing it up with mediator. yes Christ is the only mediator between God and man. but Mary intercede,i.e plead on our behalf.

dictionary meaning of mediator and intercede

To intercede is to go or come between two
parties, to plead before one of them on behalf
of the other. "Mediation"
means a standing in the midst between two
(contending) parties, for the purpose of
bringing them together.

Since Baba OBJ is still a card carrying member of the PDP, I advice GEJ to go to Baba and ask for forgiveness himself. Not by sending senate president, David Mark. If it is to abuse APC and Amaechi, GEJ is ready to open his mouth and talk for 48 hours. GEJ is the one seeking to be re elected as the president of Naija and not David Mark. So GEJ should go himself

Fogman: At the end of the second round of voting, Delta FC chairman Amaju Pinnick has been elected as the new president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Pinnick, Iorfa and Ogunjobi then went head-to-head in the second round, to determine the winner of the election via simple majority.


After the second round, Pinnick polled 32 votes, Iorfa got 8 votes, while Ogunjobi had 4 votes.

Ayed44: Senate President David Mark is expected to lead a three-man delegation of the Peoples Democratic Party to Ogun State on Thursday to cement the working agreement between the state PDP and the Labour Party for the 2015 general elections.

Daniel had earlier this year defected from the PDP to the LP in controversial circumstances after which the national leadership of the LP handed over the leadership of the party to the former governor.

Investigation revealed that President Goodluck Jonathan, who already had a strong assurance that the LP would support him in his bid to retain his seat in 2015, also believed that the PDP should win the state governorship election.

A competent source in the camp of the former governor told one of our correspondents on the telephone on Tuesday that the Presidency had asked Daniel to “collapse his structure” in the LP into the PDP in order to unseat the incumbent Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, in the 2015 election.

“The Labour Party has already endorsed the candidacy of President Jonathan in 2015 but the President felt his fortune would be brighter if the state also falls into the hands of the PDP in the governorship election,” said the lawmaker, who had defected from the All Progressives Congress to the LP.

“He (Jonathan) believes the APC would win the next elections in the state if the PDP goes into the 2015 elections in its present state.”

The source, who craved anonymity, explained that Daniel’s meeting with the LP faithful at his Asoludero Court residence in Sagamu on Sunday, was to finalise their planned defection to the PDP on the prompting of Jonathan.

He was said to have enjoyed the backing of the party supporters to “collapse” the LP structure in the state into the PDP.

The source said the Presidency considered the report of independent assessors, who had come up with a verdict that the PDP as presently constituted, would not be able to defeat Amosun in 2015.

“It was then decided that if the party (PDP) could work on Daniel to bring his LP supporters to the PDP, it will be easy to unseat the APC and Amosun,” he said.

Daniel was however said to be demanding some elective seats at the state and national levels before moving his “structure” to the PDP, where he would have to work with his once close friend, who later became his arch enemy, Buruji Kashamu.

“The former governor wants one senate seat, five seats in the House of Representatives and 14 House of Assembly slots. These demands may however be cut down. These are the calculations that Mark and others will resolve when they come on Thursday,” the source said.

He disclosed that the PDP in the state was concluding plans to field a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Dimeji Bankole, for the state governorship election.

He explained that the impending return of Daniel to the PDP might not change the plan as Bankole’s candidature would be “by affirmation.”

The source said, “There wouldn’t be any need for primaries for the governorship since the ‘parties’ would have known what belong to them. The governorship seat will be by affirmation.”

Daniel, however, said he was still consulting concerning his reported plan to defect to the PDP.

He said as a “credible and trustworthy leader”, he had been given the mandate by the leaders in the Labour Party to consult widely with other political parties before taking the final decision on where to pitch his structure’s tent.

In a statement on Tuesday, the media aide to the ex-governor, Mr. Ayo Giwa, said Daniel had been empowered to consult with various political parties and thereafter decide on the way to go.

The Publicity Secretary of the LP, Ogun State, Mr. Deji Kalejaiye, in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents on Tuesday, also said Daniel was still consulting with other political parties on what he called the Amosun Must Go project http://www.punchng.com/news/pdp-plots-amosuns-defeat-seals-deal-with-daniel/

RockMaxi: SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 BY NAN

Fifty fleeing members of the Boko Haram sect
were apprehended by soldiers in Biu, Borno State
on Tuesday.
Security sources revealed that the insurgents,
who were traveling from the Damboa area of the
state, hid under a truck and were headed for
Gombe.
A security source told journalists that the
arrested men were currently in the custody of the
Nigerian Army and might have been detained at
the Biu barrack.
The source said some youths in Biu suspected
that the truck, loaded with sheep and goats
might have other things hidden in it.
They were said to have gone ahead to carry out
a thorough search of the vehicle, and in the
process uncover the 50 young men hiding in the
truck.
The source added that the arrested men
confessed to being fighters of the Islamic sect,
Boko Haram, and were all on the run following
the reported killing of their leader, Abubakar
Shekau, in the confrontation of the sect with the
military at Konduga last week.
He said, the suspects who were pleading for
mercy, also promised to cooperate with security
operatives by giving them useful information on
the whereabouts of other sect members as well
as other group holding the Chibok girls.
He revealed that most of the suspects were
between the ages of 18 and 25 and speak Kanuri
and Hausa.
