Not absolving the government of the blame of not fixing the bridge but the way these military men break the traffic law is alarming. You see two or more soldiers on a bike on the express without helmet. Is that bridge supposed to by passed by the soldier? The LASG govt might defend the driver in court based on the state traffic law Mr Aboki: He fled out of fear.. Abi you dont know Nigeria again?! Talkless of a matter where the dead person now happens to be a soldier.. 1 Like |
| Politics › Those Milking Nigeria Dry by pheesayor(op): 3:43pm On Sep 23, 2013 |
A frontline NGO has released details of the various government offices and officials, as well as other organisations through which Nigeria is being milked dry by about 5% of her estimated 170 million population while the greater majority wallows in poverty and misery. In the third of series of reports focusing on the rot in the country’s higher education, the International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety) restated its earlier claim that the solution to the crisis in the Nigerian university system and the country’s higher education sector in general does not lie with the implementation of the 2009 Agreement between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). The group in a Public Information released from its Onitsha base in Nigeria’s South-East this morning also insisted that the “ASUU-Federal Government Agreement of 2009” is only “a smokescreen solution to the failed standard of higher education & socioeconomic consequences of industrial disputes in Nigeria.” Said Intersociety in the Public Information jointly signed by Board Chairman Emeka Umeagbalasi and Head, Publicity Desk, Comrade Justus Uche Ijeoma: “This is the continuation of our Public Information on how less than 5% of Nigerians continued to corner and pocket close to 80% of her public finances on annual basis especially in areas of spurious allowances and scandalous overheads. This less than 5% Nigerians comprises 17,500 top public office holders including 12,788 elected LGAs’ chairmen, their deputies and councilors from the constitutionally recognized 774 LGAs in Nigeria. Others are 1,695 elected officials at the 36 States and Federal levels including 72 governors and their deputies, 469 federal lawmakers, 1,152 States’ lawmakers and the President and his deputy. “Also included in the list of 17,500 milky Nigerians are 3,062 appointed executives at Federal and State levels including about 472 federal executives excluding the president and his deputy already added above, about 2,664 state executives excluding 36 State Governors and their deputies already added above; 792 State Judges and 142 Federal Judges. The 14,445 milky Nigerians with other additions by the Salaries & Wages Commission bring the total number of those milking Nigeria’s public finances in the names of “allowances” and “overheads” to about 17,500. From the angle of “allowances” and salaries contained in the revised Pay Act of 2008 enacted for them, they pocket N1.13trillion (about $7 billion) every fiscal year with over 90% or over N900 billion going into payment of “allowances”. “From the angle of “overheads”, which they allocate to themselves through “executive-legislature conspiracy” using Federal Appropriation Acts and States’ Appropriation Laws, they use them as conduit pipes to pocket spurious and scandalous sums amounting to trillions of naira or billions of dollars yearly. Part of these is now commonly referred to as “security votes”. An average Nigerian governor maintains a “security vote” of at least N4 billion a year. The security or defence budgets for Nigeria’s Presidency for 2012 and 2013 fiscal years amounted to over N1. 9 trillion or about $12 billion, which included personnel and overhead costs; yet nobody is secured in Nigeria except by divine intervention. The “security votes’ malaria virus” in Nigeria has since been extended to other holders of top public offices such as LGA chairmen and leaders of their legislative councils, chief judges of the States, FCT and Federal High Courts and their equivalents in Islamic and Customary Courts, President of the Court of Appeal and the Chief Justice of the Federation. “Others are speakers and their deputies at States and Federal levels including the President of the Senate and his deputy, heads of key government ministries, parastatals and commissions, chairmen of the governing councils and vice chancellors, provosts and rectors of government-owned higher institutions, heads of key security agencies, to mention but a few. There are also over 35,000 personal aides working for these 17,500 milky Nigerians on average of two for each of them. Some of those occupying plum elective and appointive public offices maintain as much as six aides each. These over 35,000 personal aides are serviced monthly through scandalous allowances smuggled into public budgets and Pay Wage Act with each of them taking home at every month end frivolous allowances ranging from N30,000 to N100,000 or more. It is estimated that between N1 billion and N3.5 billion is spent monthly in the maintenance of these personal aides and between N12 billion and N42 billion a year to foot their bills. The least political appointee recognised by the Nigerian Constitution of 1999 is “special adviser” for governors, presidents and their deputies. “But in practice, there are “special advisers” for legislators and their leaders, ministers, commissioners, heads of key public commissions and parastatals, etc. There are also motley of “senior special assistants”, “special assistants”, “executive assistants”, “personal assistants”, to mention but a few. The introduction of motley of “allowances” described in different names by public industrial bodies like ASUU, ASUP, SSANU, NLC, NUT, TUC, NMA, etc, and agitations through industrial strikes for their payment is predicated upon the foregoing. In Nigeria, striking bodies also include academic staff and non-academic staff associations for universities, polytechnics/monotechnics and colleges of education; and associations for government primary and secondary schools, medical practitioners, nurses and midwives as well as bodies of clerical office attendants such as NLC and senior civil servants bodies like TUC, etc. Nigeria labour force has one of the lowest labour productivity and highest corruption indexes in the world. “Following from the foregoing including the part one and two of this important public information, it is now indisputably established that the 2009 ASUU-Federal Government Agreement is far from having a concrete answer to the battered and failed standard of higher education in Nigeria. Nigeria, in abundance of plenty has continued to wallow in confusions of various social variables. The hydra-headed monsters of corruption, scandalous governmental running costs including spurious overheads and allowances have been solely responsible for socioeconomic downturns including battered standard of her higher education in Nigeria especially since 2007. In the 2011 fiscal year, for instance, Nigerian Government generated $24.54 billion or about N3.9 trillion and spent $32.65 billion or about N5.2 trillion (CIA World Fact Book 2012). “Beyond these man-made socio-economic challenges hurting and hunting the country, Nigeria’s higher education policies are utterly awkward and retrogressive. The carrying capacities of the country’s 297 higher education institutions are very minimal, manual and unscientific. For instance, the 297 higher institutions in the country do not have up to 3 million students. The 124 accredited universities have student population of under 2 million. On average of 20,000 students for each of the 74 Federal and States’ Universities, the 74 universities’ student population is under 1.5 million. On average of 6,000 students for each of the 50 private universities, less than 400,000 student populations abound. And on average of 5,000 students for each of the 173 colleges of education, polytechnics and monotechnics, less than 900,000 student population abounds. This is against the UK Open University’s 193,000 student population made up of “full time”, “part time” and “electronic/distance based” students. Ninety percent of those that take part in the Nigerian higher education entrance examinations are denied admission and out of every five that get distinction in the pre-university exams marks, three are denied admission.” http://pheesayor..com/2013/09/those-milking-nigeria-dry.html |
| Politics › Borno Attack: Troops Ran Out Of Ammunition – Army General by pheesayor(op): 2:01pm On Sep 23, 2013 |
The death toll from last week’s attack in Borno State that saw insurgents dressed as soldiers, set up checkpoints and gun down travellers on a highway, has risen to, at least, 142. Abdulaziz Kolomi, an official with the Environmental Protection Agency in the state said, yesterday, that “we recovered 55 bodies on Wednesday and 87 on Thursday”. The previous toll from the attack late Tuesday in the Benisheik area was 87. The insurgents, suspected to be from Islamist extremist group, Boko Haram, also burnt scores of homes and buildings in the assault and left corpses littering the roadside. The motivation behind the assault was not immediately clear, but Boko Haram members have repeatedly carried out revenge attacks against residents over the emergence of vigilante groups that have been formed to assist the military. Army General Mohammed Yusuf, who briefed the state governor, Alhaji Kassim Shettima on the attack, said troops ran out of ammunition while combating the assault, adding that the insurgents were armed with “anti-aircraft guns.” In one of the latest known attacks, Boko Haram fighters armed with Kalashnikov rifles, rocket launchers and homemade explosives reportedly raided Yadi Buni Town in Yobe State on September 18, setting fire to a makeshift police station, telecommunications masts, parts of the local government headquarters and the home of the divisional police head, whose wife was burnt to death inside the building. Son of the Yobe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) youth leader was also reportedly killed, while one soldier and nine sect members died in an ensuing shoot-out. On September 17, some 143 commuters were killed and several abducted when well-armed Boko Haram gunmen in military fatigues and bullet-proof vests ambushed vehicles along the busy Maiduguri to Damaturu Express Way in the early evening, said Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), an advocacy group investigating the situation. Travellers were reportedly asked to produce their identity papers, then were lined up and shot. One survivor was quoted as saying that people from the BornoState capital, Maiduguri, were singled out for execution. The gunmen went on to overrun Benisheik Town, 75 kilometres (44 miles) west of Maiduguri, killing around 14 people and torching over 100 homes, businesses and vehicles, CSW said. It quoted one report as saying that most of the dead were members or otherwise associated with the Civilian Joint Task Force in charge of fighting militants, and were beheaded. Three policemen and two soldiers were also reported to have died in what were seen as reprisal attacks by Boko Haram against those opposed to them. The phone network in Borno has been switched off since the emergency measures were imposed, a move the military said was aimed at blocking the Islamists from coordinating attacks. Some have suggested that the lack of phone service has prevented civilians from sounding the alarm during attacks. It has also made it difficult to verify information from the region. http://pheesayor..com/2013/09/borno-attack-troops-ran-out-of.html |
| Politics › PDP Defeats APC In Jigawa Assembly By-election by pheesayor(op): 12:09pm On Sep 23, 2013 |
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday announced Alhaji Abubakar Murtala of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner of the State House of Assembly by-election in Ringim Constituency of Jigawa, held on Saturday. The INEC Chief Returning Officer, Alhaji Umar Sani, said that the PDP candidate polled 22,431 to defeat his close rival of All Progressive Congress (APC) who scored 11,533 votes. The re-run poll followed the death of the former Deputy Speaker of the state assembly, Alhaji Inuwa Udi in a road accident in August. Sani said that a total of eight political parties participated in the by-election. Reacting, a chieftain of the APC, Alhaji Farouq Aliyu, alleged irregularities in the election, saying APC had been robbed of its electoral victory. Aliyu said the party had written a petition to INEC challenging the results of the by-election. He alleged that election in some polling units were inconclusive because of the violence that erupted in those areas. http://pheesayor..com/2013/09/pdp-defeats-apc-in-jigawa-assembly-by.html |
| Politics › “we Will Destroy Ombatse” – Gov. Al-makura by pheesayor(op): 12:02pm On Sep 23, 2013 |
Disturbed over the recent attacks on Alago communities of Assakio, Obi and Tudun Adubun Alago by Eggon “Ombatse”, the Governor of Nasarawa State Umaru Tanko Al-Makura indicated that all ombatse are Eggon but not all Eggon are ombatse. Al-Makura frowned at the extra-Judicial killings and destruction caused by the Ombatse. He indicated that “the days of ombatse are numbered” while calling on the affected communities in the renewed massacre to reveal the identity of the perpetrators. As a result, the state Governor banned the use of motorcycles in Awe, Doma, Lafia, Nasarawa Eggon and Akwanga towns. The Governor stated this in a state broadcast yesterday. “Those behind the massacre and their financiers and abettors will be brought to book”. Governor Al-Makura commended the Federal Government for the deployment of army battalion to quell the upheaval. It could be recalled that over 20,000 people were killed in ethnic crisis ignited by Ombatse. The Ombatse group was alleged to have destroyed palaces. Four palaces of Burum-Burum, Assakio, Obi, Agyaragu were burnt to ashes. The bodies of Alhaji Gidado of police community Bank, his driver, Adamu Aliyu and one other – were declared missing – but were later discovered death and beheaded by assailant suspected to be Ombatse group. The three were non-indigenes of the area the traveled – who had travelled from Abuja to witness a wedding ceremony at Keana Local Government. The bodies have since been put to the mother earth according to Islamic rite. The state commissioner of police, Shehu Umar confirmed the killings and discovery of the three mutilated bodies found inside a car. http://pheesayor..com/2013/09/we-will-destroy-ombatse-gov-al-makura.html |
| Politics › New PDP Demands Immediate Recall Of Emordi by pheesayor(op): 11:56am On Sep 23, 2013 |
The Alhaji Baraje led-PDP has called on the presidency to recall Senator Joy Emordi who was sacked as Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters because of her candid advice that inducing members of the National Assembly financially to impeach their principal officers would be counter-productive. The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze stated this on Sunday, 22 September 2013. “If this is true, we hereby demand her immediate reinstatement. For Senator Emordi to be bold enough to tell Mr. President the implication of such a corrupt inducement of the lawmakers should earn her commendation rather than a sack. Instead of sacking such a forthright and patriotic Amazon, the President should sack those hawks around him planning to ridicule him by encouraging him to embark on acts capable of making him very unpopular amongst his supporters and followers”. The statement also called for the sack of Princess Stella Odua. “Mr. President, if it is true that the Aviation Minister, Princess Stella Odua, has abandoned the remodeling of the Port Harcourt International Airport while completing those started at the same time because of the assumed conflict between you and your brother, Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State, we demand her immediate sack before she causes further damage to your administration. “We plead with you, Mr. President, not to embark upon any further act or impunity that will endanger the peace and unity of our troubled nation”, the new PDP appealed. http://pheesayor..com/2013/09/new-pdp-demands-immediate-recall-of.html |

| Politics › ‘old’ PDP House Of Reps’ Members Gets $25,000 Each To Impeach Speaker Tambuwal by pheesayor(op): 4:41pm On Sep 19, 2013 |
The plot by the presidency to moves against the speaker of the House of Representatives Kick-started yesterday as members of the Peoples Democratic Party loyal to the Bamanga Tukur faction of the party reportedly received huge sums of money to largesse to commence move to impeach the speaker. According to 247ureports.com, the Members of the ‘old’ PDP in the House of Reps assembled at Bolingo Hotels in Abuja to collect their shares of the largesse. Each member according to the report smiled home with a whooping $25,000. The amount isseed money to the ‘Tambuwal must go’ agitation being sponsored by the Presidency. The presidency may have initiated the move following fears that the speaker may make it easy for the opposition legislators’ in the All Progressives Congress (APC) to team up with member in the ‘New’ PDP and initiate impeachment proceedings against President Goodluck Jonathan. The fear that the lawmaker may move against the president came to fore as the member of the National Assembly resumed from a two months recess. The resumption culminated in a free for all fight when governors and member of the ‘New’ PDP, led by its Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Baraje stormed the National Assembly to address the lawmakers. The coming weeks in the House of Representative no doubt promises to be very interesting as different moves will be initiated by different interest groups. http://pheesayor..com/2013/09/old-pdp-house-of-reps-members-gets.html 247ureports.com |

Niger State governor, Dr Babangida Aliyu, has warned acting Minister of Education, Mr. Nyeson Wike, to stay clear of his state,. National mirror reports that the Governor was blunt in his reaction to a comment allegedly made by the minister on the state of education in Niger State, Aliyu, while signing into law the state University of Education bill, yesterday in Minna, said the minister was not fit to make such uncomplimentary statement about the state. “I don’t know when he got into education; education is not for riff raffs, he should be warned. If he thinks he can fight the governor of his state, he cannot fight other governors, he should take his time,” Aliyu warned. http://pheesayor..com/2013/09/stay-clear-of-my-state-aliyu-warns-wike.html |

| Christianity Etc › The Olu Of Warri And His God, By Olusegun Adeniyi by pheesayor(op): 10:12am On Sep 19, 2013 |
“Henceforth, I submit and present the title ‘Ogiame’ to God, the creator, who made the sea and rules over all. Therefore, no Olu or person may bear the title or name that now belongs to God. I nullify all tokens of libation poured on the land and seas or sprinkled into the air in Iwere land. I frustrate all sacrifices of wine, blood, food, water, kola nuts and other items offered in Iwere land. In conformity with the new covenant, through the blood of Jesus, I release the royal bloodline, the chiefs of the Iwere kingdom, the Iwere people and land, waters and atmosphere of Iwere kingdom from all ties to other spiritual covenants and agreements.” With the foregoing royal proclamation, the Olu of Warri, Atuwase II, recently decreed a stop to some ancient customs of the Warri Kingdom after publicly renouncing the traditional name ‘Ogiame’. The Olu also vowed to replace all the rituals and practices that do not conform with his new faith in Jesus Christ. But the royal father did not have the last word on the matter as he met a stiff challenge from a cross-section of Itsekiri people who called for his dethronement. By the third day of what was almost becoming a violent protest, several youths and women had erected canopies and were cooking in front of the palace gate. However, following the intervention of the Delta State governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, himself an Itsekiri man, the traditional ruler (who happens to be a staunch member of the Foursquare Gospel Church), had to annul his own decree for peace to reign. And with the crisis resolved, a thanksgiving service was held last Sunday with the crème-de-la-crème of the Itsekiri nation, including Governor Uduaghan (who came with his deputy, Prof. Amos Utuama (SAN), Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Victor Ochei, and a large number of senior government officials) in attendance. While it is noteworthy that Governor Uduaghan and other prominent Itsekiri sons and daughters were able to rally to put out the fire that could have had far-reaching consequences on the peace in Warri Kingdom, a most pertinent question remains as to whether indeed the Olu could unilaterally reject the title ‘Ogiame’ which represents the ancient identity, custom, heritage and symbol of the people over whom he presides. This question is worth interrogating in view of the fact that what the royal father sought to jettison without due process were established values and deep-rooted beliefs of his people which have persisted over generations – traditions over which he was appointed to serve as custodian. I find the Warri Kingdom crisis fascinating because it speaks to the tension between Pentecostal Christianity and tradition, especially in our country and Richard Niebuhr’s highly revealing book, “Christ and Culture”, perhaps opens some window of understanding. To demonstrate how Christians have attempted to deal with the challenge of their faith against the background of old beliefs and customs, Niebuhr identifies five approaches which he listed as: Christ against Culture; The Christ of Culture; Christ above Culture; Christ and Culture in Paradox and Christ the Transformer of Culture. Unfortunately, the Pentecostalism that has been embraced in Nigeria today fits into the paradigm of “Christ against Culture”, a notion which rejects all the traditional African mores as archaic, backward and evil. The presupposition is that those traditions belong to some sinister gods that need to be dropped for us to prosper materially and spiritually. For that reason, many Nigerian Christians have had to change their names based on the theology that those names were dedicated to some ancestral spirits whose yokes would have to be broken for them to be free from poverty, disease and curse. While expressions of faith differ from one denomination to another, the preponderance of opinion among pastors is that our traditional heritages (sometimes including priceless artifacts, dating back to centuries) are hindrances to our faith and callings as believers hence we have to do away with them. It is within that context that we can situate the spiritual edict which got the Olu of Warri into trouble. Now, I must make something clear: I am also a Pentecostal Christian – even with all my failings and imperfections – and I understand that one cannot serve the true God and still be worshipping idols. But I have problem with a faith that is expressed in symbolisms and even superstitions. For instance, I have listened to several songs and messages that the economic and political problems which plague our nation today can be traced to our hosting of FESTAC in 1977 during which, as the tale goes, several countries came to dump their Satanic gods on our land. Not only do I believe there was nothing wrong in our hosting FESTAC, I see no correlation between it and our inability as a nation to harness our enormous potentials for the advancement of our society. The Warri incident is instructive because there is a constitutional dimension to it which in itself can be considered within the context of the Christian faith. The Olu, for instance, already has a Church within the palace and it is not on record that his people quarrel with that; so the attempt to change the tradition under which he came to power is not only wrong but indeed self-serving. Like all positions of authority, there are sacred rules that bind the leader to the community and that explains why in other climes, Kings have been known to abdicate their thrones whenever there are irreconsiliable conflicts between personal convictions (which sometimes include the love of certain women) and the traditional order. In the particular case of Warri, the matter is even simple. If the Olu can demonstrate the true essence of his faith and his subjects could see the evidence in his deeds, perhaps he could gradually reform some of the traditions without the public drama that almost ended in hubris. The problem I see, however, is that such public profession of political Christianity has become the vogue. I have read of a minister who holds a strategic portfolio under the current administration who also doubles as the General Overseer of a Church he founded. Even if we choose to ignore the several issues begging for clarification in such God-Mammon portfolio, the question must be asked as to whether his faith is reflected in his stewardship as a public official. But before we digress, what many fail to understand is that in order to develop our country and uplift our people, we need to burnish our cultural identity while adopting the instruments and methods of scientific civilisation. However, a fuller exploration of the issues will take us to the place of symbols in belief systems; the essential privacy of religion and indeed the tricky point of how all these intersect to sustain public order and social peace. To that extent, the peaceful resolution of the clash between the Olu of Warri’s private Christian belief and the imperatives of his public cultural symbolism as a traditional monarch speaks volumes to the rest of us. Religion as an aspect of culture thrives on symbols and rituals. Pentecostalism, of course, rejects the rites of the traditional Christian churches as it is founded on the redemption work of Christ on the Cross of Calvary. But I remain unconvinced that salvation is also a function of cultural suicide. For me, there is nothing that should preclude a traditional ruler from being a disciple of Christ as well as an authentic symbol of the culture of his people. This is the crux of a debate that is waiting to be inaugurated. •This piece by Adeniyi originally appeared in his column “The Verdict” in today’s edition of ThisDay.

The problem with some Nigerians is their hatred for truth, the naked bitter truth, especially when a Journalist writes against their choice of persons. The cry that is heard and the song sung is that an opponent has paid the Journalist to take their candidates to the cleaners. Others shout to the sky that the Journalist is seeking for ‘cheap popularity’ or is bitter with such persons they report on. How highly lifted is a Journalist who writes only favorable reports and column to propel their persons. It’s a problem; a real big problem.

Initially the swift cable was connected to a switch and all was fine but after connecting the server and installing DNS, only windows xp systems were browsing while higher one (Vista and 7) weren't browsing. I discovered the gateway on the xp systems were 192.168.1.1, same as swift while gateway of windows vista and 7 systems were 192.168.0.1 which is the one assigned by the server. The server has two NICs so we decided to connect swift directly into one and share through the other one. This corrected that issue and every system was browsing but some sites stopped opening. Those sites are opening directly on the server and on systems connect via wifi sameolg616: connect the lan cable of the swift router directly to a system and enter the configuration with 192.168.0.1...now check the firewall settings on the router since its the internet source for the server...use a clean system(so that ur troubleshooting my be traced accurately)..try open the sites which the swift is connected only to a laptop directly..if they open then its a policy or setting from the server or the antivirus running on the server(most antivirus come with their own firewall as well)..if it doesn't,then its from either the laptop or swift router |

there's no site blocked on the server. I'm the IT guy here but it seems this is going beyond me. Is there any tweaking I can do with the dns to make it work? I can't install freegate on all the workstations nao. Is there anything I can do on the server to make this work? Thanks sameolg616: I guess your not an administrator on this said server....there is probably an implemented policy or proxy on the firewall with the server which is supposed to restrict/block some out-bound sites(blog,facebook etc) probably while at work. |

The festac own is very funny, yes Igbos now dominate festac but I'm yoruba and I was born, bred and still live in Festac. Festac is in the state it is due to federal govt years of neglect. mbulela: That is a politically biased statement that does not hold water. The truth of the matter is that the resources of the govt is limited and the needs (not just wants) of the state far outstrip it. BRF has taxed the people to the max and their is a limit to wish you can increase IGR yet the money no reach. i will like the electorates to keep highlighting all these bad areas to keep the govt on their toes but to say that political affiliation is the reason why such roads remain undone is simplistic and childish. It is like the alleged ant-igbo agenda in Okota and FESTAC. |

Hello gurus, I have an issue with a network here. We recently added a server to the network running server 2003, network was fine but there was problem with internet. ISP is swift and was connected directly to the network switch. Windows XP systems could browse while Windows 7 system could not browse ( we had already configured DNS and active directory). Due to this we decided to connect the swift connection directly to the server (has two NICs), all systems started browsing but then I now noticed some sites could not be accessed. For example I can access my blog through bogger.com but can't view from .com. Some other sites too can't be accessed but they all can be accessed from the server system. What could possibly be the way out? Note: swift DHCP address range is 192.168.1.1 while that of server system DHCP is 192.168.0.1 Thanks |

I stepped out for lunch and decided to take pictures of a portion of the said "borno road". This is off alagomeji bus stop on muritala mohammed road. If this thread isn't out of mischief, I wonder what else it can be 3 Likes
