Prof Pat Utomi's thought about the November 16th election in Anambra state. The revered prof just posted this status on his facebook page.

Please stay away from this thread if you an ethnic bigot. Thanks.

https://www.facebook.com/Utomi?ref=br_tf

Moderators, kindly move this topic to the front page and let us discuss it o.

Personally, I feel countries with historically low immigration rates to the United States come out as losers in the proposed immigration reform bill. I also feel that the black caucus in the US congress has betrayed their brothers across the Atlantic.

Folks, let us discuss the implications of axing the DV Lottery program on future immigration from Nigeria and other sub-Saharan Africa with historically low immigration rate to the United States.


A bipartisan Senate immigration bill would put the 11 million immigrants in the country illegally on a 13-year path to U.S. citizenship that would cost $2,000 in fines plus additional fees, and would begin only once steps have been taken to secure the border, according to an outline of the measure released Monday.

The sweeping legislation also would remake the nation's inefficient legal immigration system, creating new immigration opportunities for tens of thousands of high- and low-skilled workers, as well as a new "merit visa" aimed at people with talents to bring to the U.S. as well as employment or family ties. Senators planned to formally introduce the bill on Tuesday, but after the tragedy at the Boston Marathon a planned press event was delayed until later in the week.

Employers would face tough new requirements to check the legal status of all workers. The bill would institute a fundamental shift in an immigration system long focused on family ties, placing more importance on prospective immigrants' skills and employment potential.

Billions of dollars would be poured into border security, and millions of people who've been waiting overseas for years, sometimes decades, in legal immigration backlogs would see their cases speeded up.

Overall, the changes represent the most dramatic overhaul to U.S. immigration law in more than a quarter-century, and also would usher in major shifts to the U.S. employment landscape.

"I've always said that Americans will be commonsense, practical and balanced toward legal immigration and the 11 million who are here, provided that they are convinced that there won't be future flows of illegal immigration, and that has been the philosophy I think that's guided our group," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. "We've put together a proposal that pretty much does that."
Schumer and another leader of the group, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., were to meet with President Barack Obama Tuesday to brief him on the legislation, a top second-term priority for the president.

The bill is the result of months of secretive negotiations among eight lawmakers, equally divided between the two parties. In addition to Schumer and McCain, they are Democrats Dick Durbin of Illinois, Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Michael Bennet of Colorado, working with Republicans Marco Rubio of Florida, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona.

Because of the makeup of the group, including conservatives and liberals, the legislation is a painstaking attempt to balance a focus on border security and legal enforcement sought by Republicans in the group, with Democratic priorities including making citizenship widely accessible. Crafting the bill was a time-consuming process of seeking compromise and bringing together traditionally opposed groups, such as the Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO, and the United Farm Workers and American Farm Bureau Federation.

Its release is a major achievement on a polarizing issue, but even harder work lies ahead now that legislative language will become public for other lawmakers and groups on all sides to examine and react to.

"It's only the first step," McCain said. "There's a lot of hard things to do yet."

The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold hearings on the bill beginning Friday and likely move to amend and vote on it in May, with action on the Senate floor expected later in the summer. The Republican-controlled House also must act, and opposition from some conservatives there is likely to be fierce.

"The Senate proposal issues an open invitation to enter the country illegally," Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said on the House floor Monday. "Millions more will do so before the border is secure. The Senate proposal will dramatically increase illegal immigration. "

Under the bill, immigrants here illegally could gain a provisional legal status six months after enactment as long as they meet certain criteria, and if the Homeland Security Department has moved forward on plans to secure the border. They would remain in that provisional status for 10 years, able to work legally but barred from federal benefits like welfare or health care. After 10 years they could seek green cards conferring permanent legal status, and three years after that they could petition for citizenship.

They would have to pay a total of $2,000 in fines along the way, and at least hundreds more in fees, though that number has not been determined.

People brought here illegally as youths would have a faster path: they could get green cards in five years and would become eligible for citizenship immediately thereafter.

U.S. citizens would no longer be able to sponsor their siblings for eventual U.S. citizenship, a change activist groups have opposed. Also eliminated would be the government's Diversity Visa Lottery Program, which randomly awards 55,000 visas to immigrants from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States.

Those are among several changes aimed at rebalancing an immigration system that now awards around 15 percent of green cards to people with employment ties, and the majority to people with family ties; to one that awards 45 percent to 50 percent of green cards based on employment ties. Green cards are visas that make someone a lawful permanent resident and qualifies them to apply for citizenship.

The bill changes the waiting period a green card holder has to undergo before applying to citizenship from five years to three years.

There would be no limit in the number of green cards awarded to people of extraordinary ability in science, arts, education, business or athletics, or to outstanding professors, doctors and others. A new startup visa would be created for foreign entrepreneurs trying to come here to start their own companies.

The bill would create a new "merit-based visa" five years after enactment, beginning at 120,000 visas a year, and awarding points based on talent, employment and family ties.

Visas for highly skilled workers greatly in demand by technology companies would nearly double, from 65,000 a year to 110,000 a year, plus 25,000 more reserved for people with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics from U.S. schools. Low-skilled workers would be able to come in for jobs in construction, long-term care and other industries, ultimately up to 200,000 a year. A new agriculture visa program would bring farm workers to the U.S., and farm workers already here illegally would get a faster path to citizenship than others, able to seek a green card in five years, an effort to create a stable agricultural workforce.

The bill is titled the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013."

On border security, as previously reported by The Associated Press and others, the bill aims for 100 percent surveillance of the border and seeks to ensure that 90 percent of attempted border crossers are caught or turn back, tasking the Homeland Security Department with developing plans within six months for making this happen. If the 90 percent rate of apprehensions isn't achieved in high-risk border sectors within five years, a commission made of border state officials would make recommendations on how to achieve it.

After 10 years, people granted "registered provisional immigrant status" could apply for green cards granting them permanent residency -- and the ability to seek citizenship -- if certain conditions are met, including the new security and fencing plans have been completed and a mandatory employment verification system is in place and used by all employers. A new system must also be in place at airports and seaports to keep track of who is exiting the country.

In addition, the bill provides funding for 3,500 more customs agents nationwide and authorizes the National Guard to be deployed to the border to construct fencing and deploy surveillance equipment, among other tasks. Funding for border crossing prosecutions would be boosted.

una never hala!!!

Just in:

Leading Nigerian musician, Dbanj (Dapo Oyebanjo) has spoken out against the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government.

Dbanj, who has been under fire for not joining fellow artistes to condemn government’s action by appearing at anti-subsidy removal rallies, said on his Twitter handle that the masses were the worst hit by the pains of the current situation.

He said it was members of his family, friends, his fans and the ordinary people that were badly affected by the removal of the subsidy. THe musician said although he openly supported President Goodluck Jonathan during the election campaigns, he was as surprised as every Nigerian by government’s action.

His tweet reads, “Ok so I haven’t said anything about the subsidy cos just like every Nigerian citizen I am as surprised as we all are and yes I supported GEJ openly and fully but I haven’t been made the special adviser to the president on youths. All I can say about the subsidy is the obvious truth that my fans, friends, family and we the masses are the ones feeling the pain now.”

Meanwhile, some musicians entertained protesters at the Save Nigeria Group rally at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota, Lagos State today.

Among them were Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde aka KWAM1; Afrobeat musician, Femi Kuti; and reggae artiste, Ras Kimono.

Dressed in a white shirt with green sleeves and collar and with an inscription, ‘Kill corruption, not Nigerians,’ KWAM1 sang songs hitting the ruling class for over 30 minutes.

The artise sang with a live band from some of his trackssuch as “Mama Sempe,’ ‘Better dey come,’ which he twisted to contain lyrics lamenting the Nigerian condition and asking its leaders to have a change of mind on the removal of fuel subsidy.

Femi Kuti addressed the crowd for some minutes during which he said Nigerians should deal with some politicians, whom he named, for the country to get better.

Dressed in a cream African print top and matching pair of trousers, he sang some songs thereafter.

Ras Kimono also entertained the huge crowd with his 1989 hit, ‘Under Pressure.’

[size=14pt]Niger Delta group alleges plan to assassinate Jonathan, Mark, COAS •Warns of disintegration of Nigeria[/size]
Written by Okey Muogbo, Abuja Monday, 09 January 2012

NIGER Delta leaders on Sunday alleged that some people were planning to assassinate President Goodluck Jonathan, Senate president, David Mark, Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Onyeador Ihejirika and warned that the country would face crisis if any harm came to their son.

Addressing journalists in Abuja, president of the Ijaw Youth Council, Miabiye Kuromiama also alleged that the planners of the assassination want to hide under the guise of hardship caused by the withdrawal of subsidy on petrol to execute their plot.

Kuromiama, who declined to answer questions after the briefing, was accompanied by Alhaji Asari Dokubo of the Niger Delta Volunteer Force and other leaders of the South-South group.

Text of the address reads: “Leaders of the Niger Delta involved in the long struggles to re-invent and revive the dire political and socio-economic conditions of this country Nigeria, draw the attention of all Nigerians and the global community to an advanced conspiracy and plot to destabilise and disintegrate the country in the coming days and weeks.

[size=14pt]“The promoters of this plot seek to achieve their aims by assassinating the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and also eliminate very senior military and security officers from the South and Middle Belt of Nigeria, including and particularly the Chief of Army Staff General Ihejerika; the Senate President David Mark and the National Security Adviser General Owoye Azazi (retd).

“Those identified in this sinister plot include retired senior military and security officers who are working quietly with some serving officers, some “powerful” opportunistic businessmen who benefit from existing incentives for corruption and profiteering in the economy, including current subsidy on PMS otherwise called petrol and whose business is  threatened by current government policy.[/size]

[size=14pt]“Also in alliance with them are corrupt and disgruntled politicians who are for once currently outside the corridors of Nigeria’s political power reality after over 40 years of monopolising power and manipulating the people.[/size]

“This plot is now almost perfected by certain disgruntled elements in Nigeria and their co-conspirators.



“They are currently unconcerned that the nation is at economic crossroads and are actively playing on the emotions and pains of fellow Nigerians by politicising, sponsoring and organising activities to heat-up the polity through strikes, civil disobedience and legislative activism to prepare the ground for the plans.

“Having been aware and studying the development of the situation since the emergence of a Niger Delta son in the leadership of this country, we have resolved to take serious steps to guarantee the security and survival of our people in the Niger Delta. We also advise all Nigerians to be aware of this plot, its deeper motivations, implications and the consequences that will befall all of us.

“Accordingly, we strongly and unequivocally warn that a plot against the life of the president and the  derailment of this government is likely to spell disaster for this country and bring untold and sustained hardship to the masses far worse than any temporary pains of a deregulated downstream petroleum sector is likely to cause.

[size=14pt]“We have always been aware, as many other Nigerians and the world over, that the struggle for power and control of government in Nigeria by political forces in the name of ethnic, religious, regional or group-based interest has been to access and control the oil and gas resources from the Niger Delta by this kind of persons.

“Nigerians currently have time and space for two peaceful opportunities: re-negotiating a new basis of our continued corporate co-existence as a nation; negotiating a peaceful dissolution of the Nigerian State as was the case with USSR, Ethiopia, and Czechoslovakia.

“Or do we allow the country to slide into a bloody disintegration of Africa and the Black race’s largest democracy, as did Sudan and Yugoslavia? As it appears now, the Sudan and Yugoslavia option is now very apparent and fearfully looming as the anarchy and potential loss of innocent lives, including plans to assassinate or overthrow the government of Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan portrays. This is totally unnecessary.[/size]

“If and when the plan is executed, Niger Delta nation and peoples know exactly what steps to take and will not hesitate to progress with necessary measures towards such steps forthwith.”

[size=14pt]Strike: Count us out –South-east traders[/size]
From IJEOMA ONUORAH, Nnewi, GEOFFERY ANYANWU, Awka
Monday, January 09, 2012

Chairman of the South-east Governor’s Forum, Mr. Peter Obi and the South-east Amalgamated Traders Association (SEAMATA) have dissociated themselves from today’s nationwide strike, being embarked by organized Labour .

The market leaders, who visited Mr. Peter Obi in Awka yesterday, said the entire South-east would not participate in the planned strike, and equally expressed support to President Goodluck Jonathan on the removal of fuel subsidy.

Governor Obi said the support for the removal of oil subsidy was predicated on the fact that funds saved from the exercise would be used to improve the economy of the country, especially in the areas of infrastructure, power, education and job creation He urged the Federal Government to ensure that the funds were strictly applied in the specified areas.

While commending the Federal Government for efforts made so far, he called for more decisive measures to ensure security of lives and property in various parts of the country, especially the troubled parts. In an eight-point communiqué issued after their meeting at the governor’s lodge and signed by the President, Chief Okwudili Ezenwankwo and Secretary, Mr. Temple Udeh, the traders said the decision taken by the government was in the overall interest of the country.

The traders further stated that the monumental corruption that has characterized the petroleum industry over the years as a result of the distortions created by the subsidy had only enriched individuals. The communiqué read in part: “We note that there will be initial hardship that will be experienced by the people of Nigeria, but we accept that this will be compensated for by the palliative measures planned by the government to cushion the effects. Our support is premised on the promise that the savings from the subsidy will be channelled to massive infrastructural development and job creation.

“We therefore urge Mr. President that the promises made to the Nigerian people are kept in addition to reducing the cost of governance, as a demonstration of his commitment to the sacrifices made. Based on the foregoing, SEAMATA and traders of the South-east origin, wish to disassociate ourselves from the planned nationwide strike, as we believed that the strike will not be in the best interest of the common man,” it said.

The traders, however, called on the organized labour, civil society organizations and other stakeholders to give government a chance and go into negotiations for lasting solutions, urging them to begin talks with Justice Alfa Belgore-led negotiation team.

The National Judiciary Council, after an emergency meeting in Abuja on Thursday, announced the suspension of the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Salami over his refusal to apologise to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu and the Council after a panel set up by the council found him to have lied against the CJN.



Justice Ayo Salami, suspended

The council, in a statement signed by it’s Director of Administration, Mr. E.I. Odukwu, directed Salami to handover to the next most senior justice of the Appeal Court.

The statement reads: “Pursuant to the powers conferred on the National Judicial Council in the Constitution of the Nigeria, 1999 as amended, Hon. Justice Isa Ayo Salami, OFR, President of the Court of Appeal has been suspended from office with effect from today 18th August, 2011.The decision was reached at the 7th Emergency Meeting of the Council held on 18th August, 2011″.

The National Judicial Council further directs that Justice Salami should hand over the affairs of the Court of Appeal to the next most senior justice of the court.

Meanwhile a recommendation has been forwarded to the President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to retire him from service.

The council did not make any reference to the suit filed by Salami at the Federal High Court in Abuja wherein he is challenging the report of the Justice Umaru Abduallahi panel which investigated him and Katsina-Alu for alleged misconduct.

Another sub-committee of the NJC, headed by the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta recommended that Salami should tender a written apology to both Katsina-Alu and the council.

The Auta’s committee also recommended that Salami be cautioned. A letter of caution had already been sent to him.

In arriving at its decision, the council based on the Auta panel’s recommendation, found Salami in breach of Rule 1(1) of the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers. The Rule provides: Rule 1 “A Judicial Officer should avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all his activities. (1) A Judicial Officer should respect and comply with the laws of the land and should conduct himself at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.

Salami refused and headed for the court. In the suit Salami is asking the Federal High Court in Abuja to set aside the proceeding and findings of the investigation panel headed by Justice Umaru Abdullahi retired and the recommendation of the panel headed by Justice Ibrahim Auta.

He asked the court to declare that the setting up of the NJC Investigation Committee and its composition were in gross violation of the principles of natural justice, and his constitutionally guaranteed right to fair hearing under Section 36 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999(as amended) and is therefore unconstitutional, null and void

He listed the following as defendants, the National judicial Council; Hon. Justice Dahiru Musdapher; Hon. Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu; Hon. Justice Umaru Abdullahi; Hon. Justice Emmanuel Ayoola; Hon. Justice Dominic Edozie; Hon. Justice Michael Akpiroroh; Mrs. Rakia Sarki Ibrahim; Hon. Justice Ibrahim Ndahi Auta; Hon. Justice Kate Abiri; and Hon. Justice Peter Umeadi.

Three Senior Advocates of Nigeria, namely Chief Akin Olujinmi(SAN), Rickey Tarfa (SAN); Chief Adeniyi Akintola(SAN) filed the case on behalf of Justice Salami.
