Politics › Re: The Foolishness Of Niger Delta Avengers And Stupidity Of Chevron by PapaBrowne(m): 2:24pm On May 06, 2016*

About the environment, let's face it, its been destroyed already by years of degrading exploitation. If the Oil companies, the Federal government and the rest of the country couldn't care less, why would you expect militants tottering Sub Machine Guns to to care. Please be real. If you've ever been in the creeks, you'd know that the worst kind of degradation happens 24hrs non stop and that's Gas flaring.

About the economy, I think we have a leadership that is totally bereft of simple wisdom. Time and time again, it displays daft practices that confound even an illiterate. Any primary school student would know that it was unnecessary at this time of critically low oil prices for the Buhari Govt to attempt to wage an Ego propping macabre with the likes of Tompolo.
Who in his right senses goes on the pages of newspapers to prosecute a militant for corruption.
Buhari's senseless actions are responsible for whatever crippling our economy suffers in the hands of these militants.

ABOUT CHEVRON. You are shameless Mr. So Chevron that pays huge taxes should be responsible for providing security against Militants wielding some of the most sophisticated weaponry available. That's an aberration.

ABOUT AMNESTY. the amnesty program was a huge success by numerous counts. There was peace in the creeks for 7 good years. It success gave Nigeria an extra $30billion in revenue.

You are right jor. It might still be one of Tompolo brain game to confuse Nigeria so we will believe he is not part of the Niger Delta Avengers. We know such plot. He is behind closed doors hidden and doing this all at the same time to confuse us all because he is so afraid of FG and EFCC. We know your type.

Errrrrrm....No.

I think we have a government that has been very unwise in it's actions.

Hiding behind closed doors?? Is a militant supposed to be militating in the open? He will always be behind closed doors so thats not news.

The FG on the other hand is supposed to apply wisdom in dealing with issues....

No neeed forming strong face when you don't really have the ability to protect over 3000km of pipelines scattered accross the creeks.

Akpabio will make a good vice presidential candidate. His performance in Akwa-Ibom is nationally acknowledged. I wish he could be the running mate to either Kwankwaso or Atiku if the PDP could lure one of them back to the party. That joint ticket would retire Buhari back to Daura. But the PDP needs to be fair to the Ibos, who have been stoically loyal to the party.

What kind of inferior thinking is this? Why the heck should he be a running mate to (Atiku or Kwankwanso) people he has way better records than? Why can't they be his running mate? And please those two you mentioned are from the APC, why the heck do you have dreams of importing them to PDP.

It was this same stupid mind set that prevented the likes of Fashola from contesting last times, now the man is addressed as the minister of darkness.

AKPABIO is a very capable hand for 2019. Buhari has failed already, so even a LG Chairman can replace.

Well, good thinking. But it doesn't exactly work out that way. First the cost of a worker to a company is not only the salary. There are other cost components which are fixed. Trainings, administrative costs, and a host of others.
Also there is the factor of efficiency and expertise. The more time someone spends on a specific task, the greater his efficiency and expertise. Halving the work hrs means you would have half the expertise.

Actually, even overseas, you,'d hardly see a company that would accept you if you intend to work less than full-time which is usually 8hrs.

Another simple solution would be the use of drones(UAVs) to constantly scan the forests for unusual groupings of these herdsmen. Drones are a pretty cheap technology.

What kind of demonic leadership have we elected??

So you now have to go to the station with a generator to buy fuel everyday? What of those who don't have cars?? So on top the ridiculous price you'd pay for fuel, you'd now have to hire a vehicle to carry your generator to the fuel station. Tufiakwa. Excellent ingredients for a perfect revolution.

HIGHLIGHTS OF SOYINKA'S SPEECH

"Let me narrate a personal experience – just one among many – that was brought home to me, right against my doorstep. Before that specific happening, I had observed a change of quality in forest encounters with cattle herdsmen over the years. These changes had become sufficiently alarming for me to arrange meetings with a few governors and, later, with the late National Security Adviser General Azazi. At the time, we thought that they were Boko Haram, infiltrating into the south under the guise of cattle herding. That was then, and of course, that surmise has never been firmly proven or disproved.

Recently, however, I returned from a trip outside the country about to find that my home ground had been invaded, and a brand-new “Appian way” sliced through my sanctuary. That ‘motorable’ path was made by the hoofed invaders. Both the improvised entry and exit are now blocked, but interested journalists are invited to visit. In over two decades of living in that ecological preserve, no such intrusion had ever occurred. I have no idea whether they were Fulani or Futa Jalon herdsmen but, they were cattle herders, and they had cut a crude swathe through my private grounds. I made enquiries and sent alerts around, including through the Baale of our neighborhood village. There has been no repeat, and hopefully, it will remain the first and last of such invasion. What it portends, however, is for all thinking citizens to reflect upon, and take concerted measures against."

[size=14pt]How Herdsmen Invaded Wole Soyinka’s Home[/size]

Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka has disclosed that herdsmen invaded his home while he was abroad with the cows leaving a “motorable” path.

In an address to the National Conference on Culture and Tourism on April 27, Soyinka decried the ruthless manner with which the herdsmen have conducted their business of late.
He stressed that Nigeria’s tourism will never boom if it continues to tolerate such insecurity, noting that, culture and tourism are interdependent.

He also stated that the federal government led by President Muhammadu Buhari has not done enough to stop the onslaught of the herdsmen.

“Let me narrate a personal experience – just one among many – that was brought home to me, right against my doorstep. Before that specific happening, I had observed a change of quality in forest encounters with cattle herdsmen over the years. These changes had become sufficiently alarming for me to arrange meetings with a few governors and, later, with the late National Security Adviser General Azazi. At the time, we thought that they were Boko Haram, infiltrating into the south under the guise of cattle herding.

Politics › Re: Timeline Of Events In Enugu Gov. Office Prior To The Herdsmen's Attack by PapaBrowne(op): 8:30pm On Apr 26, 2016

My take is this:

Its time for us to wake up and decide a clear cut strategy to protect ourselves.

Rather than rant on social media, we need real strategies. Anybody waiting on a Buhari's protection is wasting his time.
The perpertuators are on a well calculated genocidal mission. And you know what, they have a clear cut strategy. And they are working hard and fast at it. What they are currently doing is testing the will of southerners. They've done it in the middle belt, nothing stops them from doing it down south.

Rather than rant on social media, we have to start discussing real ways to protect these villages.

Over 600 years ago, the Binis built a Moat around the city to protect itself from invaders. Isn't it a shame that in this era of technology, we(not Government, but we the people)can't even come up with a simple strategy to confront this menace as well as protect ourselves??

A few things we can start today>

Operation Boycott Beef.
Everyday you eat beef, you are putting funds in the hands of the genocidal perpetrators to buy ammunition to kill your people. If 10 Million southerners boycott beef, even if for the next 3 months, the cattle industry will feel the bite immensely and the leadership would be forced to act.
This is the simplest most impactful action that can deal a healthy blow to the murderous gang of herdsmen.

Design a Defense & Response Strategy for each and every Village.

Politics › Timeline Of Events In Enugu Gov. Office Prior To The Herdsmen's Attack by PapaBrowne(op): 8:14pm On Apr 26, 2016

I saw this on Facebook.... I cant verify. So judge for yourselves

If you are confused or wonder about what happened in Enugu yesterday, this is the timeline as Ariaku Emeh Iroh's wall provides it:

1. Governor Ugwuanyi gets information that Uzouwani will be attacked as some herdsmen from Nassarawa are converging near the community.
2. "There was a call made by Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to the president, he was put on hold for over an hour 15 minutes.
3. This call was made in the presence of 13 men and 4 women, the president aid (aide)told the Governor that the president will get back to him.
4.The president through his aid(aide) after 4 hrs told Enugu state governor that the president will do something about it.

5. "...Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on hearing that the police have not arrived at Uzouwani called GOC 82 division for help. He was refereed to the presidency again.

6. This time around, he was put on hold for nearly 2 hrs again, while waiting to speak to the president. News came in that the attack he was planning to prevent has actually taken place.

7. Within an hour, the commissioner and GOC who refereed the Governor to the president has mobilised their men to stop retaliation. The same way Lagos and Agatu was attacked and retaliation prevented.

We need to know why police commissioner and GOC need presidency order before they can protect the innocent citizens?.
We need to know - why police and military sent their men to Uzouwani after the attack to prevent retaliation?.
We need to know why a sitting Governor cannot use the support of police and military to protect his people?.

Your raised concrete points which I concur with.
If the brand to be discussed here isn't Innoson but rather Toyota or Honda, will it be cool to keep it in the politics section instead of cartalk?
Take for instance Innoson (we can substitute it for tecno) makes mobile phones and French TV decides to pay a visit. You sure do know it will fall under the phone section.
Funny enough the thread is now in Autos section.

If Toyota or Honda opens a plant in Nigeria, it will definitely be in the politics section not Auto section. If Tecno chooses to start manufacturing in Nigeria, that's a development issue not a phone talk. Better still a business issue not a phone issue. In fact from now on, we can proceed to talk about fuel scarcity in the car section and gadgets section (for generators)

Can we then move every talk about cattle herdsmen to the Agricultural section.

Or even see, since Innoson is a business, send to the business section.

This topic is totally about development which by any count is a political issue. The discussion that would evolve from this article would involve Nigerian capacity for industrialization, salvaging the battered naira, patronizing local products, patriotism et AL.

If this was about comparing car types say how would you compare driving Innoson to driving Toyota or if it were about car parts innoson uses in its vehicles then bringing it here would have been justified.

This discussion Belongs in the politics section. Please lalastica , seun et AL move back to politics.

Politics › Re: Kachikwu Explains Reasons For Fuel Scarcity (video) by PapaBrowne(m): 9:12am On Apr 07, 2016*

Interesting video.

From all indications the cause of the Fuel scarcity is clear. If you listened carefully, you'd understand the real reason why it was so easy for Jonathan to provide us fuel and it's been so difficult for Buhari to do same.

Kachichukwu's 3 undertones.

1)We(NNPC) shouldn't have attempted to go it(importation) alone.
Buhari assumed that NNPC can supply all our fuel needs so he decided to discontinue supply relationship with importers by frustrating their forex demands. He wanted NNPC to do all the importation but forgot to determine first whether they had the capability to execute such a monumental charge. It's like deciding the government would now be responsible for bread supply in the country without first determining if they know the flour suppliers, whether they have enough bakers and things like that.

2)Pipeline vandalism.
Kachichukwu said there has been more pipeline vandalism this year alone than there was in the last 3 years combined. And this has affected terribly fuel supply logistics.
Well I wouldn't say anything here besides the fact that the tompolo pipeline contract suddenly looks like it was the wiser step afterall since whoever is now guarding those pipelines are failing terribly where Tompolo succeeded.

3)Returning to the Jonathan strategy-
Kachichukwu has admitted that the NNPC cannot do this importation thing alone. So same as Jonathan did, they are now deciding to let the private sector get in on importation again.

Truth be told, Buhari's assumption that what worked in the 70s would work today is what is largely responsible for the troubles we are finding ourselves. The earlier Buhari allows his minister their freedom to operate, the faster we would get out of the mess we are facing.

How can the assumed rampaging, gun totting and matchete wielding Fulani herdsmen suddenly become so powerless that they are easily attacked and robbed of the cattle that they value so much? Where are the AK47'S and sharp machetes that they allegedly use to attack their victims? Did they suddenly disappear upon encountering the armed cow robbers? Since when did Fulani herdsmen decide to abandon their lucrative trade of providing meat, milk and leather for the nation in favor of killing and maiming innocent citizens?

The Army, FG and recently, even IPOB have revealed that the 'Fulani herdsmen' that have been accused of killings are actually BH terrorists and armed bandits in disguise.

If you still have not put the pieces together, the Army has just commenced the war against the armed bandits attacking Fulani herdsmen and stealing their cows in order to use as disguise to perpetrate their murderous terrorist agenda.

May God bless the NA and grant success to Operation Sharan Daji.

The last I checked, the killing in Agatu was done by Fulani herdsmen who claimed they were re-engineering the killing of thier cattle. The last I checked there was an ongoing peace initiative between the herdsmen and the community.
My question then is: is it the rustlers or the herdsmen that perpetuated the killing in Agatu. If it's the rustlers/terrorist/boko haram, then how come it's the herdsmen sitting in on the negotiation table?
