Hey people,
The other day I heard Pastor T.B. Joshua raise an interesting point and wanted to throw it to you to see if anyone has an opinion on it.
He said that the problem we in Africa (and other developing countries) have is that we exhange our mineral resources with dollars, pounds and naira instead of exchanging them with technology. There is a point in what he is saying as the money often is channeled in the wrong direction and goes to the wrong source. Thus the people that really need it continue to lack while those already with plenty in their pocket continue to enjoy,
what do you think about this?


Like someone said.

Thanks you asshole. I really Appreciate your stupid Madness. You are welcome Intelligent fools.

From Patrick Ugeh in Abuja, 05.25.2009



Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Obong Ufot Ekaette, said at the weekend that the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs would embark on regional mega projects like railways, independent power projects and integrated agricultural schemes that would cut across the region.
The purpose, he said, was to make the states and local governments concentrate on their normal projects to serve the interest of their people. Speaking at the briefing of the heads of diplomatic missions held at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, he reiterated that the present administration's resolve to bring about a lasting solution to the problems of the region and give the people a new lease of life, necessitated the creation of the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs with the mandate to coordinate all developmental efforts in the area so as to fast-track the transformation of the region.
According to him, the stakeholders were initially skeptical of the creation of the ministry because of the failure of the previous interventionist agencies to deliver even marginal benefits.
He restated that the consultation tours embarked upon by the Minister of State and himself were a convincing exercise for well-meaning indigenes and leaders of the Niger Delta who have since adopted a cautious optimism about the creation of the Ministry. He stated that the Ministry had commenced the implementation of programmes outlined in this year's budget.
The Minister said one of the measures taken to bring about peace, stability and development in the region was to provide jobs for the youths of the Niger Delta region.
"This would include training them so that they could work in the oil and gas companies operating in the region and begin to see themselves as co-owners of the multi-national companies rather than destroy the facilities put in place for the operations of the oil firms," he elaborated.
Ekaette added that the Ministry had pre-qualified consultants to design skills acquisition centres for the nine states, while the selection of contractors for the construction of the projects and other infrastructure such as the state offices and housing projects for the nine states needed to open up the Niger Delta region is in progress.
Other efforts, he added, include the re-award of the contract for the completion of the abandoned East-West Road for the execution of which N28.4 billion had been provided in the current budget.
Also, he said arrangements were on for the selection of consultants and contractors to undertake the cleaning up of oil-impacted sites in the Niger Delta to improve the environment and the health of the people. Ekaette said the Federal Government had awarded a contract for the procurement of oil spill response boat and equipment for NOSDRA to enhance the capacity for prompt remediation of oil impacted sites.
In addition, the Minister stated that the ministry would involve consultants for the survey and design of the 721-kilometre Niger Delta Coastal Road , which would run from Calabar in Cross River State to Ilaje in Ondo State.
He further stated that the Ministry would be focusing on women and other groups and that modalities were being worked out with banks to provide micro credit to those wishing to embark on revenue-generating projects that would make them self-reliant.
The Minister appealed to the youths of the region to give peace a chance as he affirmed that the international groups who had approached his Ministry for possible investment in the Niger Delta, had stressed the importance of peace and security as pre-conditions for investing in the region.
He regretted the unfortunate events of the past few days arising from the killing of the Nigerian soldiers by some criminally-minded elements and the attempt by the military to fish out the perpetrators leading to the displacement of some persons from their homes in Warri South Local Govern-ment.
Earlier, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chief Ojo Maduekwe, noted that the Niger Delta crisis was a national challenge but assured that the Federal Government was on top of it.

@Redsun I don't think that nice. Nigerians and Nigeria herself is a Stupid Nation.

The JTF commander, Maj-Gen. Sarkin Yarkin-Bello, told a news conference at its base in Effurun, Delta State that the officer and five soldiers could not be found on Friday, May 15, 2009 while another soldier died of wounds sustained in the campaign on Sunday, May 24.

He said the casualties were in addition to the lieutenant-colonel and 10 soldiers declared missing since May 13. The disapperance of the officers and soldiers sparked off the current face-off between the Nigerian military and the militants, which has left an unconfirmed number of persons dead and others displaced.

Chevron shuts-in .1m barrels

American oil giant, Chevron Nigeria Limited, today declared a shut-in of 100,000 barrels of crude oil in Delta State. This was due to the blow-up of its Abiteye/Escravos pipeline by suspected militants. Consequently, CNL has shut down its swamp operation in Delta State and the shut-in has further depleted Nigeria‘s crude oil production.

Police stop rally in Ekiti

Armed policemen on Monday dispersed a pro-democracy rally organised by the Defenders of Democracy in the Ekiti State capital, Ado-Ekiti, with tear-gas. Twenty of the participants, including the state chairman of the Action Congress, Chief Jide Awe and his deputy, Chief Dele Falusi, were arrested and later released.

Oyo threatens to withhold teachers‘ March salary

The Oyo State Government says teachers in its employ will not be paid March 2009 salary because they were on strike over the Teachers‘ Salary Scale. The Secretary to the State Government, Chief Olayiwola Olakojo, stated this on Monday at a news conference to unfold a weeklong programme of activities to mark the second anniversary of the state administration. However, the state chapter of the NUT through its Secretary, Mr. Olu Abiala, told our correspondent that the SSG‘s statement did not represent the true position of the state government.

Abiala said Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala assured the teachers last week that their March salary would be paid.

25 Ogun communities risk flooding

A new study has warned that 25 communities in Ogun Waterside Local Government Area are at the risk of persistent flooding and epidemic as a result of the devastating consequences of climate change.

The warning was contained in the study on Community-led Adaptation for Sustainable Livelihoods in Coastal Areas of South –Western Nigeria, jointly done by the Department of Geography, University of Ibadan; the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the European Commission EuroAid Cooperation Office.

Lagos vows to reopen gated streets

The Lagos State Government on Monday vowed to reopen gated streets, to ensure the smooth flow of traffic.

The state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele, said in a statement that government had learnt that residents of some gated streets in Magodo, Gbagada, Plamgrove, Ilupeju, Ogba, Magodo and Ikeja had refused to comply with the state government‘s directive to keep them open from 5.30a.m. to midnight daily.

In line with Governor Babatunde Fashola’s avowed commitment to rapid development of infrastructure, the many physical projects going on in Lagos have turned the state into a “huge construction site.”

This, according to the Special Adviser to the Governor on Works and Infrastructure, Mr. Ganiyu Johnson, was because the projects were spread across the 57 Local Government Councils and Development Areas, and were already impacting positively on the residents.

Speaking at the handing over of three roads in Lagos Mainland Local Government Council on Tuesday, Fashola commended the residents for promptly paying their taxes and showing great understanding in the relocation of structures, saying, these had helped in no small measure in the transformation efforts.

The roads, which were handed over to the community included Montgomery, Aje and Commercial Avenue in Yaba. The governor recalled with nostalgia the beauty of old Yaba, which became an attractive real estate haven and it played host to Nigeria’s emerging middle class immediately after independence.

The three roads formed the second phase of the infrastructural improvement of Yaba from Jibowu to Iddo, comprising 37 roads and six pedestrian bridges at strategic locations and divided into four phases.

Montgomery, Aje Streets and Commercial Avenue have a combined length of 1.51 kilometres and an average width of 10 metres, with the contract awarded to Messrs P. W. Nigeria Limited in February 2008.

The scope of work included relocation of telecoms, water and Power Holding Company of Nigeria services; demolition and replacement of wall fences; provision of longitudinal and transverse service ducts; and scarification and carting away of bad materials.

Others were earthworks with the use of geo-textile materials, provision of covered concrete drains and culverts to act as walkways, 100 millimetre asphalt surfacing, street lighting with alternative source of power supply and road signage/lane markings.

A day after the inauguration of the roads, it was the turn of the state Ministry of Works and Infrastructure to present its scorecard for the past two years.

Johnson, who spoke at the 2009 ministerial press briefing of the ministry said that the government had committed a total of N91.96bn to construction of new roads and rehabilitation of existing ones as well as provision of other road infrastructure in the last two years.

Out of this figure, N61.96bn was budgeted for last year, while the balance of N30bn is for the year 2009, representing a drop of over 100 per cent in budgetary allocations for road infrastructure in the current fiscal year.

However, the government had given an assurance that the cut in budgetary provisions will not affect the rate of road construction and rehabilitation currently going on in the state and the provision of other road infrastructure like drainages and street lights.

The special adviser said that the government would rely on the private sector for assistance in sustaining the current pace of road works.

He said, “It is true that there is a drop in our budget for road construction and upgrading/rehabilitation, but I can tell you that the private sector will work with us to develop some of our road infrastructure under the Public-Private Partnership model. The government does not need to carry the burden alone.”

Giving a breakdown of the budget on roads for the period under consideration, Johnson said that about N14.4bn would be on upgrading and rehabilitating of road infrastructure in 2008, while N7bn would be spent for the same purpose in 2009. A total of N47.56bn was spent on fresh construction last year, while N23bn would be spent on road construction this year.

The special adviser said that between May 2007 and now, 63 road projects covering 70.35 kilometres were awarded for rehabilitation with 19 already completed and 59 ongoing.

Similarly, a total of 111.8 kilometres of roads and bridges was constructed in the period, translating into 56 awarded projects, out of which 11 had been completed, while 74 are ongoing.

A parastatal of the ministry, the Public Works Corporation, also completed rehabilitation work on 43 roads covering 7,985 kilometres within the same period.

Apart from road infrastructure, the ministry is also transforming the state’s magistrate and high courts by building new structures and furnishing them appropriately to enhance administration of justice.

It is also redesigning, constructing and rehabilitating all public buildings to meet present day challenges and is providing mini independent power projects to have a safe city through the provision of street lights.

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos state has banned all forms of adverts in the media to congratulate him on his second year in office.

Fashola, who spoke in Lagos, said anyone who wishes to congratulate him should donate to orphanages, police stations and other areas where the money could be used to better the lives of the people. The governor said it was not yet time to celebrate as there was still much work to be done to move the state forward to greater heights. “We have set high standards for ourselves and it is too soon to celebrate. There are so many things yet to be done, the Nigerian project, the Lagos state project are all work in progress.

“By way of celebration and congratulations, I take the view that anybody who feels that they want to support the government should spend money for adverts in a judicious manner, helping us to reach those places we have not reached,” the governor said. He stated that the people should use the money to impact on the lives of people near their homes, communities and schools where indigent students have only one set of uniform. He said they could also go to police stations that do not have generators and papers to work with and give money to them since the police protect the lives of the people in the society.

The Lagos state helmsman added that the people could also reach orphanages and underprivileged people in the state by cooking lunch, “and taking it to those places. That way, you would have congratulated us in a much more profitable manner”. On his message to Lagosians to mark the Democracy Day, Fashola expressed gratitude to them for supporting his government. “It has been a very humbling and inspiring experience. What we can do is to educate ourselves in ensuring that we do the best we can and fulfil our promises to the people.

The long running conflict in the Niger Delta reached a crescendo last weekend when the Joint Military Task Force began a fierce battle with the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND). The military operation followed a long period of muscle flexing between the security forces and militant groups. Hitherto, MEND seemed to have dictated the pace while the military adopted a laidback approach. Now, the chips appear down and blood is flowing freely in the creeks.

Indeed, for about a week, soldiers have been pounding some riverside communities of Warri South West Local Government Area of Delta State, in what could be described as operation flush out militants. The affected villages include Kunukunuma, Pereozowefaigbene, Kuruntie, Okerenkoko, Oporoza, Ubefan, Acama and Benikurukuru of Gbaramatu kingdom. These communities are believed to be strongholds of MEND.

The military offensive, in which helicopter gunboats were deployed, is believed to have recorded high casualty figures. An unconfirmed report claimed that scores of soldiers, militants and villagers have been wounded or injured. Many have also been turned to refugees in their fatherland, following the destruction of their homes.

Trading blames
Since the bloody confrontation started, both parties have been trading blames. According to the Federal Government, it had become imperative to check the excesses of the militants who had become law unto themselves.

Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Michael Aondoakaa, explained: “No country will expose its armed forces to unwarranted attacks. A Major, a Lieutenant Colonel, and rank and file military men were ambushed and killed. No responsible country will sit quietly and watch an unwarranted attack launched on its armed forces without any provocation.”

The soldiers Aondoakaa referred to were said to be on their way to rescue a seized vessel, MV Spirit and its crew penultimate Friday when they were ambushed.

However, MEND differed, saying that government spokesmen were being economical with the truth. In a statement, the group’s spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, argued that the Director of Defence Information, Col Chris Jemitola and his JTF counterpart, Lt. Col Rabe Abubakar, made contradictory statements regarding events leading to what he termed “indiscriminate bombardment, wanton destruction of defenceless women, children and the elderly by the armed forces of Nigeria.”

MEND added: “The DDI said the crew were captured, tortured, killed and contents of the vessel stolen. While the fact remains that the vessel was only hijacked after the skirmish with the JTF, the petroleum product contents of the vessels are such that cannot be stolen and there was no need to torture or kill the crew. The two sailors killed were from the indiscriminate aerial attack.”

The making of armed groups
Violence and criminality in the Niger Delta has escalated since the country returned to democratic rule in 1999. According to foremost constitutional lawyer, Prof. Ben Nwabueze, “the Supreme Court is part of the trouble we have today in the Niger Delta; it was not Obasanjo alone. The littoral states went to court but Obasanjo manipulated the Supreme Court to say that littoral or waterways is not part of states.
“That was the origin of the problem in Niger Delta. The people of the Niger Delta are facing a lot of problems. The harm has been done with this entire concession thing.”

Over the years, armed groups have emerged, demanding a greater share of Nigeria’s oil wealth for oil-bearing communities in the region. Among the major groups is the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF) led by Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, who was incarcerated and charged with reason under the administration of the then President Olusegun Obasanjo.

With Dokubo out of the way, as it were, MEND, led by Henry Okah, began to spearhead the struggle, although Okah is currently in detention, on charges of treason, treasonable felony and conspiracy. Unlike Dokubo, who resolved to suspend armed struggle after his release from the gulag, the continued detention of Okah stoked the fire in the region, as his group took on security forces and destroyed important oil facilities at the drop of a hat.

However, armed insurrection in the oil-rich region preceded NDPVF, MEND, Dokubo and Okah. In the 1960s, an Ijaw nationalist, Isaac Adaka Boro led an armed campaign for greater Niger Delta autonomy, resource control and self-determination. Burning with passion and zeal, he moved to redress the perceived injustices against the region. In his opinion, most of the youths were so frustrated with the general neglect that they were ready for any action led by an outstanding leader to gain liberty. “We were clenched in tyrannical chains and led through a dark alley of perpetual political and social deprivation. Strangers in our own country! Inevitably, therefore, the day would have to come for us to fight for our long-denied right to self-determination,” he had said.

Distraught with the economic and development profile of the Niger Delta, Boro remarked: “Economic development of the area is certainly the most appalling aspect. There is not even a single industry. The only fishery industry, which ought to be situated in a properly riverine area, is sited about 80 miles inland at Aba. The boatyard at Opobo had its headquarters at Enugu…Personnel in these industries and also in the oil stations are predominantly non-Ijaw.”

On February 23, 1966, Boro declared the Niger Delta an independent republic. Making the Akairna Declaration, as it became known, he told his men: “Today is a great day, not only in your lives, but also in the history of the Niger Delta. Perhaps, it will be the greatest day for a very long time. This is not because we are going to bring the heavens down, but because we are going to demonstrate to the world what and how we feel about oppression…. Remember your 70-year-old grandmother who still farms to eat; remember also, your poverty-stricken people and then, remember too, your petroleum, which is being pumped out daily from your veins, and then fight for your freedom.”

Eventually, Boro was tried and sentenced to death by hanging, but he maintained that his people “had long sought a separate state not because they loved power but because their conditions were peculiar and the authorities did not understand their problems. There is nothing wrong with Nigeria. What is wrong with us is the total lack of mercy in our activities.”

Perhaps, on account of the crises in Nigeria, the sentence was not executed and he was granted pardon by the then Head of state General Yakubu Gowon.

Boro fought on the federal side, when the civil war broke out in 1967 and was killed in the battlefield on May 17, 1968 at the age of 32. However, he had sowed the seed of militancy.

Price of militancy
The emergence of armed groups in Niger Delta has had dire consequences on the country. In fact, the political and economic consequences are enormous. According to a recent report by the Technical Committee on the Niger Delta, Nigeria lost N3.7 trillion (about $23.7 billion) oil revenue to the militants between January and November 2008. N3.3 trillion of the amount represents losses, which resulted from production shut-ins, pipeline vandalization and oil theft, better known as illegal oil bunkering. Nigeria also lost $3 billion to sea pirates between January and July 2008. Also, Nigeria’s crude oil production has gone down by at least 20 per cent, as some major oil firms in the region have been forced to close down production at some of its facilities.

At other times, rampaging militants, who are well armed, bombed such facilities. Of course, these developments result in the country not being able to meet up its crude oil export quota for several months. A drastic fall in revenue is the net effect, thereby making nonsense of the nation’s budgetary projections.
Equally, the armed groups have also set up illegal refineries. With these facilities, they refine crude oil and sell same at reduced price to foreigners on the high sea. And with proceeds from the transactions, they acquired sophisticated weapons with which they battle the nation’s security agents.

The image of the country has also been dealt a devastating blow by the hostage taking and kidnapping of expatriate oil workers and their local counterparts. The situation is such that not too many foreigners are willing to step on Niger Delta.

In July, the United States President, Barack Obama is visiting Ghana. In this African visit, the first the American president is embarking on, Nigeria was not mentioned. Some people have blamed this on the security situation in the country, especially as it concerns the activities of militants and the armed engagement with the country’s military.

MEND made allusion to this when its spokesman, Gbomo told Saturday Sun: “The outside world has always perceived Nigeria as a failed state even without this latest genocide against the Ijaw communities. The recent planned visit by Obama to Ghana, bypassing Nigeria and the non-invitation to the G20 summit were clear signals. They see the Niger Delta region as pathetic. Americans cannot understand why resources from a region is used to develop other regions to its detriment.”

The current military action
Despite the sentiment raised by many people over the continued onslaught of militants’ targets in Ijaw communities, the country’s armed forces said that a time has come for it to end the activities of “criminal elements in the Niger Delta.”

Sources close to the military and the JTF said that the military would continue the war against militants until they are routed. The military said that the sentiment that civilians are affected would not deter it, as members of the militant groups are civilians, who have used the Ijaw communities as camps and operation centres.
Military authorities said that they had treated the militants with kid gloves before now, making them to erroneously believe that they are strong enough to do whatever they want. Therefore, they said that it is better to end “the nonsense once and for all so that the stigma will be erased from the country, as the world is beginning to believe that rebels are emerging in the country,” according to a senior military personnel.

State of emergency
With the sustained bombardment of some parts of Niger Delta by federal troops and the resolve by MEND to hold on, it is feared that the hostilities may escalate. And in the event of that, declaring a state of emergency in Delta State may become an option. A source in Abuja told Saturday Sun: “The government has decided to rise to the challenge in the Niger Delta.

Enough is enough. I can tell you authoritatively that no stone will be left unturned until the militants and criminals who have hijacked the struggle of the people are done away with. Even if it means declaring a state of emergency at the end of the day, government would consider such an action. But there is no going back on the resolve to put the criminals where they belong.”

MEND, on its part said that the official declaration of a state of emergency by the Federal Government would not make any difference, as such situation already exists. The group said: “The region is in a state of emergency, as it were. We are not impressed with the government of a failed state.”

Options for MEND
Against the backdrop of the continuing military onslaught, MEND says it is considering other options. According to sources close to the group, the options include total military offensive, which would include the attack of government facilities and personnel outside the Niger Delta and self-determination.

MEND said that the military has worsened the situation with the current onslaught, as military offensive would not deter it or solve the problem. It told Saturday Sun: “The early heavy bombardment the US military carried out in the opening of the Afghanistan campaign has not ended the war there after over five years. Similarly, the indiscriminate bombing on innocent civilian targets and a transit camp already deserted has no military significance to a group using guerrilla tactics. Ours is not a war of engagement and it is only the army and us that know how much casualties the military suffers on a daily basis.”

The militant group said that it would not mind being referred to as rebels instead of criminals, as the federal Government has always done. It called itself freedom fighters and would always live up to that name.
“The Nigerian government has branded us criminals. I think we prefer rebels to criminals, not that it bothers us how we are branded. Everyone is entitled to his opinion. As far as the good people of the Niger Delta brand us freedom fighters, that is what concerns us because we exist because of them,” it said.

Mend said that the skirmishes in Delta State would spread to other parts of the country, since the military wants war, even as it said that there is no need to take the battle out of the creeks for now.
“A fire starts from a point and spreads. Delta State in this case is the starting point. We have no need to come to the land because oil activities happen in the creeks and that is our stronghold,” MEND said.
The group, however, said that for the world to know the real situation in the skirmishes between military and armed forces, journalists should be allowed to come into the war zone. “Let them allow journalists access to the battle zone to report independently,” it said.
