[quote author=IGBO-SON]^^^Nice prayer and all, but this ain't gonna happen unless we're all pulling in one direction, enthrone merit over federal character, jettison 'pull him down' syndrome, and finally see Nigeria as a project we all have to contribute something to build instead of thinking what we can get out of it 'for me and my ethnicity/region'![/quote]You have really spoken well . I am not an igbo man but I see this accomplishment Not as a victory for the igbo man but a victory for Good governance, its a day every Nigerian should celebrate because we now have a Government that promises and goes ahead to keep those promises .

Kogi State Government said on Sunday it has
begun the harvest of rice in commercial quantity
at its Ukomi site in Lokoja, according to
a statement.
The statement made available to newsmen stated
that in view of the harvest at the 1,500 hectare
farm, all flood plains would soon be converted to
a rice farm.
It quoted Governor Idris Wada as saying that the
harvest had marked the beginning of the end of
Nigeria’s dependence on imported
rice. “Government would take advantage of the
vast land along the rivers Niger and Benue to
engage unemployed youths in rice farming.
``The government will soon purchase farming
equipment and address issues of land ownership
and other challenges facing the project,'' Wada
was quoted as saying.
According to the governor, the state government,
in partnership with some investors, will soon
establish rice mills in the state, while branded
rice from the farm will in no time flood markets
in the country.

An American farmer, Calvin Burgess of Guthrie,
Oklahoma, owner of Dominion Rice and
Integrated Farms Limited, is set to begin a large
scale mechanised rice farming in Taraba State
beginning this year's farming season.
Calvin, who is an experienced American rice
farmer, had last year acquired massive farmland
of about 30, 000 hectares to begin mechanised
rice farming in the low land part of the state,
close to Rivers Benue and Taraba.
Permanent Secretary in the Taraba State
Ministry of Agriculture, Ifaimu Irimiya Kifasi
gave the hint after an inspection tour to the farm
located in Gassol Local Government Area of the
state to ascertain the level of preparation for full
farming activities in the place.
He expressed optimism that with the level of
preparations he saw at the farm, full farming
activities will begin at the farm by this year's
farming season, adding, "His intention was to
start the farm this January but for the delay in
clearing some of his farm equipment at the
port," he said.
According to him, about nine truck loads of farm
machineries have already been brought to the
farm while others are still awaiting clearance at
the port, saying construction of farm houses are
ongoing at the farm preparatory to the
commencement of full farming activities, adding
that the state and the nation at large stand to
benefit maximally once the farm becomes
operational.
Mr Irimiya pledged the support and
commitment of the Taraba State government in
ensuring that the large scale rice farming
investment becomes a success in the state.
He said that the state government has awarded
contract for construction of the road stretch
leading to the Dominion Rice and Integrated
Farms to guarantee easy access to the farm.
On his part, the Emir of Gassol, Alhaji Idris
Ciroma said the farm will boost the economic
activities of the community as well as empower
people in the area, promising to meet with the
state's acting governor, Alhaji Garba Umar to
discuss with him on how to ensure the farm
becomes a huge success.
He said over 30 visitors have come to the
community which has been hitherto relatively
unknown as a result of the presence of the farm
in the area.
It would be recalled that the Federal
Government through the Federal Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development had last year
in Abuja, signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Taraba State
Government and Dominion Rice Integrated
Farms Limited on the proposed 30,000 hectares
rice project in the State.
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural
Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina in a
release issued Abuja by his Chief Press Secretary
(CPS), Mr. Haruna Mathew then said the MoU
was a culmination of investment drive in the
Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA), by
directly building on Mr. President's
Transformation Agenda.
"Adjacent to Taraba River, the rice project will
be fully irrigated and capable of producing 2.4
crop cycles per year. This farm, when completed,
will require up to 15,000 well trained men and
women working daily. Approximately 90 per
cent of the land will be operated with contract
farmers with the remainder utilised as a
corporate farm and for educational training
purposes by the lead investor, Dominion Farms,"
the statement read in part.
Approximately 300,000 tonnes of rice will be
produced annually for the Nigerian marketplace,
which now imports as much as 2 million tonnes
of rice annually, thereby offsetting 15 per cent of
imports, the release added.
Dominion Rice and Integrated Farms is the sister
company of Dominion Farms Limited of Kenya,
where it is the largest producer of rice in that
nation. This is a fully integrated farm which
begins with high quality certified seed
production, production of crops, all the way
through to processing and marketing of the final
products including packaged milled rice, cereals,
and animal feeds. The products are expected to
meet global standards.

Pukkah: Why would a Minister talk in such a general and nebulous terms like this on a subject that's this important.

Why would a Minister choose not to quote figures but would rather have me check with the banks or CBN?

I want this policy to succeed but the Minister shouldn't sell us a dummy the way someone said the Ministry of Solid Minerals had employed a whopping 2 million people.

This Minister or another one should tell us in specific terms:

1. When the implementation of this good policy started.

2. The locations of the rice farms.

3. How the government has supported the farms to achieve results.

4. The number of metric tonnes that have been produced and the year(s).

5. The exact decline in Customs revenue and to compensate for this, the (estimated) number of people that have been employed by the farms.

Meanwhile, it should be noted that what the Minister appears to have relied on - reduction in rice importation - is not a sufficient reason to conclude that there is an 'upsurge in local production of rice'. For example, have people found other substitutes? Have importers started evading duties? Etc

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development,
Akinwumi Adesina, said the newly introduced
programme tagged, “Double-up Paddy
Production Programme,” designed to grow rice in
the dry season in 10 Northern States of Nigeria
has injected N77 billion into the economy.
Speaking at the 2013 Ministerial Platform at the
weekend in Abuja, Adesina said dry season rice
farming, which is the first of its kind in the
history of Nigeria, has added over one million
metric tonnes of irrigated rice to the domestic
production.
He said dry season rice farming supported about
268,000 farmers, as 264,000 hectares of land were
cultivated within the season across 10 states in
northern Nigeria.
“It added over one million metric tonnes of rice
to domestic production. It has also injected
N77billion into the economy and increased the
incomes of farmers by N32 billion in 10 states
across the north-west, north-east and north
Central geo-political zones.
“In terms of job creation, 460,000 jobs were
created.”
While giving the mid-term report of his ministry
and achievements recorded, the minister said
Abuja provided massive support for the
cultivation of dry season irrigated rice across.
He added that farmers in ten leading rice
producing States of Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara,
Katsina, Kano, Jigawa, Bauchi, Gombe, Niger and
Kogi, received free 50kg of seeds, two bags of
NPK fertilizer and one bag of urea.
He noted that farmers were also assisted with
water pumps to bring water into their fields, and
that the results of the initiative have been
groundbreaking.
Adesina said a total paddy production for
2012/2013 farming season is estimated at
1,760,364 metric tonnes.

Under the former Nigerian Grains Board (NGRB),
there were three (3) Rice Mills in the country.
One located at Badeggi and the other two located
at Sokoto and Makurdi respectively. Out of the
three Mills, Badeggi Rice Processing Company
Limited appeared to be the biggest in terms of
supportive facilities and it is the only surviving
gigantic modern rice mill in the country today.
The company, Badeggi Rice Processing Company
has an installed capacity for processing 120
metric tons of paddy rice per day on three shifts
of 8 hours per shift per day. Assuming a full
production for a minimum of 150 days a year the
Mill would be capable of processing 18,000.00
metric tons of paddy rice and create employment
opportunities for about 150 workers.

The Federal Government has provided N30
billion to support university councils in settling
the “Earned Allowances” of university workers.
The Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Pius Anyim, announced this at a
meeting with Pro-Chancellors and Vice
Chancellors of Public Universities.
Mr. Anyim said the amount would be disbursed
to the various university councils, which were in
position to know, who was entitled to what and
how much, after verification.
“From the foregoing, it is obvious that the
Federal Government has demonstrated sufficient
commitment to the implementation of the 2009
FG/ASUU (Academic Staff Union of Universities)
Agreement.
“By this, it is clear demonstration of commitment
to revitalise the university system, government
hereby, urges every staff of the nation’s
universities to return to work as all issues are
being resolved.
“With particular reference to the contentious
issue of “Earned Allowance’’, every staff of the
universities that is so entitled should verify his
claim with his university council and accord get
paid.
“President Goodluck Jonathan is fully committed
to bringing the students back to school and
appreciates the patience of parents and students.
“Government is making every effort to revitalise
the university system,” Mr. Anyim said.
He said that the government acknowledged the
contributions of the Non-Academic Staff Union
(NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian
Universities (SSANU).
Mr. Anyim also acknowledged other associations,
such as National Association of Nigerian Students
(NANS) and other stakeholders.
Earlier, the Minister of Education, Ruqayyatu
Rufa’I, said that the government was ready to
implement all the recommendations, particularly
as it relates to revitalisation of the universities.
Ms. Rufa’I said that on the issue of funding and
revitalisation, the Needs Assessment Committee
would address infrastructure decay in
universities.
“I want to assure you that this will be done in the
next few years,” she said.
Also, Kimse Okoro, the Chairman, Committee of
Pro-Chancellors of Federal Universities,
commended the government for its efforts.
Mr. Okoro called on chancellors to use the funds
judiciously and appealed to ASUU to show some
understanding.
Adolphus Karibi-Whyte, the Chairman,
Committee of Pro-Chancellors of State
Universities, said that the institutions would put
more efforts to ensure that regulations were
followed.
Also, Mohammed Hamise, Chairman of the
Committee of Vice-Chancellors, commended
government for the N30 billion to university
councils to defray the arrears of the peculiar
allowances which had remained outstanding.
“The committee regards this as a positive step
which, if replicated over the next two years,
would solve the problem of the arrears,’’ he said.
ASUU had earlier described the government’s
N30 billion offer as insufficient, saying they
would not call off their eight-week-old strike
unless government implements to the latter the
2009 agreement it had with the union.
The Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,
had estimated that it would cost the government
N92 billion to implement the agreement to the
latter as it relates to earned allowance.

For those who went to University ,the crop of Student pushed to the Faculty of Education are mostly the least qualified to be. Admitted or NCE holders who could not gain admission am referring to their abilities as young men not as politicians and money bags can purchase degrees from any part of the world at the wave of a finger !

Since the flagging off of the consultative visits on
the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), the group of five Northern governors
involved in the acclaimed peace moves have not
hidden their desire to reach out to all
stakeholders.
The governors: Sule Lamido of Jigawa, Rabiu
Musa Kwakwanso of Kano, Aliyu Wamakko of
Sokoto, Muazu Babangida Aliyu of Niger and
Murtala Nyako of Adamawa, who began their
supposed peace initiative by first paying a
solidarity visit to Rivers State governor, Chibuike
Rotimi Amaechi, in Port Harcourt early July, had
continued their shuttle through Abeokuta, Ogun
State, where they visited former President
Olusegun Obasanjo and Minna, Niger State,
where they visited former Military leaders,
Generals Ibrahim Babangida and Abdusalami
Abubakar. They also visited the Presidential
Villa, where they had a meeting with President
Goodluck Jonathan. After meeting the President,
they were also sighted in Sokoto, where they met
with former President Shehu Shagari and
returned to Abuja last weekend when they met
with Shagari’s deputy in the Second Republic
Presidency, Dr. Alex Ekwueme.
In view of their endless shuttle diplomacy, the
question would arise: what do the group of five
Northern governors want? What started as a
defiance step against the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) is fast being coloured as a
nationwide consultation aimed at resolving
disagreements within the party. The widening
coast of the subject of consultation is fast
painting the effort as a national assignment
though.
Investigations have revealed that the governors
have had to change their tactics after indications
emerged that some security networks were
reading their actions in certain ways. The
indication emerged after their visit to former
military leaders, Generals Babangida and
Abdusalami Abubakar. It was gathered that the
original idea was to rally support for Amaechi in
his perceived war against the Presidency.
According to sources, the push of the G5
governors was to ensure that Amaechi was re-
integrated into the party or they would join him
to destroy it. The governors, who have one
personal grouse or the other with the party,
believed that Amaechi was fighting their battle
when he got caught off and that they had the
responsibility to get him out of the mess. It was
learnt that the original agenda was to make the
Amaechi issue a nationwide problem deserving
of urgent national solution.
But security reports were said to have faulted the
agenda immediately it unfolded. Many
stakeholders in the PDP also faulted the attempt
to raise a state crisis to national attention
because it is happening in the President’s
backyard. Besides, other sources queried why the
Northern governors were devoting all their
attention to finding solutions to the Amaechi
problem whereas the issue of insurgency
ravaging parts of the North was being glossed
over by them. The questions being raised in the
security and political circles were said to have
informed a change in tactics and the expansion of
the focus to a peace effort, aimed at “saving
democracy.”
But then, how far can the peacemakers go?
Sources said that the true answer to this question
would lie in the sincerity of their purpose in the
first instance. Some sources have queried the
emergence of the G5 itself as a group founded on
individual instincts and ambitions. For instance,
the group comprised only the PDP governors
who goaded Amaechi to defy the party’s directive
to him not to contest re-election at the Nigerian
Governors’ Forum (NGF) election in May.
Stakeholders within the party have said that the
fact that the other Northern governors who
stuck to the agreement of the Northern States
Governors’ Forum (NSGF) and the PDP
Governors’ Forum (PDPGF) to field governor
Jonah Jang of Plataea as consensus candidate for
the NGF election are not part of the acclaimed
reconciliation effort is a big minus for their
effort. For instance, a source queried why the
effort of a minority five governors out of 19
Northern governors is being raised to national
prominence. According to the source, what
would happen if the other 14 governors decided
to follow a different path?
Investigations revealed that the major hindrance
to the peace moves by the G5 lies in their conduct
at the NGF election, which sources say left a sour
taste in the mouth. A source puts it this way: “The
NSGF met at the instance of Governor Aliyu and
agreed to field Governor Jang as consensus
candidate. We prevailed on the two other
candidates, Governor Ibrahim Shema and Isa
Yuguda to step down. The document which all
the governors signed was presented to the PDP
Governors Forum, headed by Akwa-Ibom State
governor, Obong Goodwill Akpabio. The PDP
governors adopted the choice of the NSGF but
when we got to the meeting, our leader at NSGF
refused to submit the consensus list. He teamed
up with the opposition and that led to the
division we have in the NGF today.”
The source said that what happened during the
NGF election was the height of treachery
perpetrated by governors against themselves. He
further stated that to worsen the situation, Kano
State governor, Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso, came
out in the press to describe his colleagues in the
NSGF as baby politicians who were taught a
lesson. The source quipped: “How do you expect
those who have been so deceived by your actions
to come together with you and swallow the bitter
pill?” Insiders in the party therefore declared
that rather than see the efforts of the G5 as aimed
at redeeming the PDP from its internal crises,
their efforts should be seen as attempts to worm
their ways back into reckoning within the party.
Indications also emerged last week that the G5
governors may have a long rope to pull as far as
their efforts at seeking reconciliation is
concerned. It emerged that the Presidency was
alarmed at reports in the media after their
meeting with President Jonathan. Sources said
that the media ascribed things that were not
discussed at all to the governors and that none of
them denied it. Some sources said that the
authorities were able to pinpoint those who gave
out wrong information about the meeting of the
G5 with the President. For instance, whereas the
issue of sack of ministers and some aides of the
President did not feature at the meeting of the G5
with President Jonathan, some newspapers went
about the following day to trumpet such as the
conditions laid down by the G5 for peace in the
PDP. It was however confirmed that the meeting
with the President featured the governors’
disagreement with the National Chairman of the
PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur. The governors were
said to have declared that they could no longer
work with Tukur and that the President should
consider replacing him. The President was
however said to have told the governors that
since removing the National Chairman would
pass through a process, he did not want to
subvert that process.
Investigations however revealed that the G5
governors appeared to have shot themselves in
the foot with their conduct at the NGF meeting in
May. Said another source: “With their betrayal of
the common agreement on the NGF election, an
agreement that was freely entered into, they are
saying that even when they enter into agreement
with the President or anyone for that matter, the
person has to always watch his back. The
implication of the NGF election is bound to
reverberate on the credibility of these governors
for a long time to come.”
Thus, besides seeking to rehabilitate Amaechi in
the PDP and stabilising their holds of the party at
the state levels, the G5 may find it a tough nut to
crack if they intend their efforts to resolve the
lingering PDP crises at the national level. Said
another source: “When they sought audience
with the President, the nation’s number one
citizen is obliged to listen to them but when
taking decisions in the final analysis, the leader
has to look at the credibility of the message and
the messenger, going by antecedents. And that
could go a long way in hampering the results of
their consultations.”

Obiagelli: Now i can celebrate this. Locomotive for cargo is acceptable. Good job

Oby now am happy, the fact that u can be objective in drawing this conclusion calls for celebration . Enjoy yr week

I saw this Cartoon but I disagreed with the Answer ,

Sincerely speaking I knew all along that those five governors are just crying around the country becos Jonathan wants to contest and they will looose relevance after they leave office in less than 2 years time !

Identical twin brothers have appeared in court
charged with raping a woman as they cannot
be told apart by their DNA.
Mohammed and Aftab Asghar were arrested
after evidence taken from the scene linked the
alleged crime to one or both of them.
Prosecutors have charged both siblings as they
are unable to tell which one of the two is the
suspected sex attacker.
Police and the Crown Prosecution Service
were continuing their investigation to try to
determine whether they should pursue the
case against both men.
The 22-year-olds were expected to enter pleas
when they appeared alongside each other in
the dock at Reading Crown Court, Berks.
But the prosecution asked for more time as
police and the Crown Prosecution Service
continue their investigation to try to
determine whether they should pursue the
case against both men.
Prosecutor Sandra Beck said: “It is an unusual
case. They are identical twins. The allegation is
one of rape.
“There is further work due and there is an
indication which would tend to support that
one was not at the location.
“It may mean that only one of the defendants
faces trial.”
No details were revealed about the
circumstances surrounding the alleged
offence, which is understood to have occurred
on November 5, 2011.
Ms Beck confirmed a trial date for the pair had
already been set for December 2.
The twins were granted bail by Recorder
Lawrence West QC.
In February this year, identical twin brothers
were arrested on suspicion of a series of rapes
in France.
The 24-year-old suspects, named only as Yohan
and Elwin, were accused of raping six women
aged between 22 and 76 in the coastal city of
Marseille.

Mischief is everywhere this Old mama decide to donate towards the Education of the youths and we are complaining ! At her age this woman does not need anything but to impact her generation and please heaven until God calls her!

“Lamido Wants To Replace
Namadi Sambo As Vice
President”, Says Jigawa APC


The Governor of Jigawa State, Malam Sule
Lamido has been accused of scheming to
replace the seating vice president of the
federal republic of Nigeria, Architect Namadi
Sambo at the completion of the current
tenure – starting 2015. The allegation was
made today by the interim spokesperson for
the All Progressive Congress [APC] in Jigawa
State, Hon. Nasiru Garba Dantiye who was
also a former national assembly [NASS]
member representing Garki Babura federal
constituency in Jigawa State.
According to the former NASS member and
spokesperson for APC Jigawa State, “I want to
inform you that Governor Sule Lamido is not
fighting for the north as some of you will
want to believe. The so called G5 PDP
governors are just looking for relevance. We
have not forgotten that the role Lamido
played to betray the north in 2011.You see the
five governors are on their way out and they
are just looking for relevance. If the north is
their concern what did they do in 2011.As for
Lamido he is just interested in replacing
Namadi Sambo as VP in 2015 If Jonathan gives
him the green light now, all these agitation
will fizzle out“.
He called on the people of Nigeria and Jigawa
state to get ready for emancipation from the
evil of the PDP in 2015.
“With the registration of APC the coast is
clear. We don’t need much the performance
of the PDP at the center has already done the
campaign for us. As for Jigawa, we know how
to handle the PDP. Our merger is strong
enough to chase the PDP out of power”

Some tourists are believed to target young
Kenyan boys for sex.
The Police in Kenya said Tuesday said they were
battling to contain a new trend of commercial
gay-sex tourism that targets young boys in the
coastal towns of the country, the News Agency of
Nigeria reports.
The reports monitored from a local radio station,
quoted the police as saying the trend had caused
the rise in the sale of pampers in the region due
to the rising health problems among boys
indulging in the act.
Malindi sub county Deputy Police Commissioner,
Joshua Nkanatha, told Kenya local radio that
boys from poor families were being lured into
the trade by rich male tourists.
The Police official said the situation had lead to
an increase in number of cases of HIV/AIDS
spread in the area.
“A survey we conducted shows that boys
engaging in sexual activities with male tourists
are buying pampers because they can no longer
hold their stool,” Mr. Nkanatha said.
Mr. Nkanatha, who spoke during a Public Baraza
at HGM primary school, Malindi said male
prostitution had become high in Malindi and
contributing to increased cases of HIV and AIDS.
He urged educated and concerned members of
the public to take up the responsibility of
enlightening the youth about the health risks of
engaging in the vice.
Malindi is a resort town on the outskirt of
Nairobi, the Kenyan Capital which attracts
Tourists from within and outside Africa.

Kairoseki77: You can tell this thread was not created by a Northerner.

Considering that Northerners do not use this website, and will not be here in enough numbers to properly embarrass you, I suggest you hang your head in shame and delete this trash.

Most people have a pretty good idea of where you REALLY come from though. And you are just making your brothers look bad.

Who told u northerners. Don't use this site its a pity Nairaland software does not expose those using fake names!

odua soulja: okoro boy claiming northerner

Kairoseki77: ^^^^^^^^^

Who in the North is fixated on power?

Just because your entire region has given up on leading the country. Just because your region has no leaders that can win an election. Just because your region is too ashamed of its leaders to even consider promoting them for election. Just because your region is comfortable taking the back seat in PDP, does not mean that other politically active regions are power hungry. It means they are intelligent and ambitious. Clearly their way of politics has helped them win. Face your leaders.

Is the North stopping you from building the Second NIger bridge?

What has second Niger Bridge has to do with this ?

Why we Northerners appear to be crying more than the bereaved an x-ray of political position paints a very different picture

Vice President -North. **Senate President -North. **Speaker House of Reps - North. **PDP National Chairman - North. **Head of Service - North.**INEC Chairman - North.**Inspector General of Police - North.**CBN Governor - North.**Chief Justice of federation - North.**President Court of Appeal - North.**EFCC Chairman - North.**President Federal high court - North.**National Security Adviser - North.**Chief of Defence Staff - North.**Controller, Customs Service - North.**Controller Prison Services - North.**Richest man in Africa - North.**85% of Petroleum Marketers in Nigeria - Northerners. **80% of Oil Block Owners in Nigeria - Northerners. **95% of beggars in Nigeria - Northerners **. Yet, the Poorest states in Nigeria and Educationally backward areas in Nigeria are in the North. For the almost 4 decades we led this country we had nothing to show for it . Clearly the cry of marginalisation is false , and if for any reason the presidency is to shift to the North under any guise then it should be the turn of the Non hausa/ Fulani people of the north especially the Middle belt.
