Politics / Re: Why Odutola Rejected Awo’ S Loan Request Of £1, 400 by pluto04(m): 10:58am On Feb 28, 2016 |
The Awolowo letter sounded extremely arrogant. Maybe it is just the way they write letters in those days. It is just like a random stranger writing a letter to a local rich man today, who didn't know him personally, demanding to borrow £20,000 without security, with payback period of 12yrs. I am sure the letter would be rightfully ignored. Even the Awolowo family of today would ignore such letters. Unless I am missing the context. 2 Likes |

TheArchangel:I didn't say that whatetever that mean. I said she has been on the post for 2 months which is not long enough to implement her ideas. She is not rssponsible for monitary policy. Emefiele is and he should be sacked. Kemi is not responsible for the oil crash or nigeria's mono economy. NOI had 8 years (obj and gej) to prepare us for a day such as this. NOI did not prepare us and it is very absurd to call for her return. 1 Like |

TheArchangel:NOI was a coordinating minister. She had her chance. We know what she did with that. Kemi has only been in the post for 2 months. She should also get her chance to implement her ideas. All the things you you are accusing Kemi off are actually the CBN Governors failings. He has been there since last administration and appears to be a clueless yes man. He doesn't report to Kemi. He reports to PMB. So answer to your question. Emefiele should be sacked and replaced by Soludo. 1 Like |

RIP DJDola. We pray that you get eternal rest and the people left behind, the fortitude to bear the loss. While we are on the issue of funding balance, I think the decent thing would be to return the money to the original donors or to give it to DJDola's family. Anything other than that would be diversion of funds (from the original intention of the donors) aka 'fraud'. If you are thinking of diverting the money to a new project you might as well raise fresh money for that new project. Making decisions based on the opinions of 'un-invested' Nairalanders would not cut it. It would be wrong to divert funds without the explicit consent of each the original donors who are the 'only' stakeholders as far this decision is concerned. Disclosure: I have no vested interest here. jaybee3: 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Apologise To Jonathan If You Have Any Honour by pluto04(m): 2:03am On Feb 13, 2015 |
1. The PWC audit was a whitewash. The report has no credibility. They are not wizards and will only be able to audit information presented to them. If nothing is presented to them, they will find nothing. The people they were auditing were left in post to cover their tracks while the whistle-blower has been sacked. They will still find nothing. It is a no brainer. The surprise would have been if they found something. So nobody need apologize to GEJ. He needs to apologize to us for running the most corrupt government in the history of Nigeria, sacking whistle-blowers while leaving officials accused of corruption to cover their tracks and then audit themselves. Which leaves us with the suspicion that the fraud was perpetuated on-behalf of GEJ. 2. NigerDelta (whatever that means) or Ijaw has no oil. The oil belongs to Nigeria. That is what the Nigeria constitution says. If the Ijaw are not happy with that, they have 3 choices: a. Get their legislooters to agree with other legislooters from other part of Nigeria to change the consititution b. Declare secession and get Tompolo, Bayloaf and Askari to get ready to use their private armies c. Relocate to Cameroon, Central African Republic or the Atlantic Ocean! RevDesmondJuju: |

Francis5:So you are imperfect and you were picking on another person’s spelling mistakes and grammar earlier? PhD wasn't previously required to become a Professor in Nigeria or elsewhere. Try to research the requirements for professorship now and historically instead of asking stupid questions. If you do need the list of Nigerian, professors with no PhD, you should do your own research. I don’t know why you Jonathan’s supporters now think that it is cool to ask absurd questions on social media. |

These guys keep regurgitating this non-sense when they have not even read what they are quoting. The author of the research work never claimed that Yoruba was the only Nigerian language in 1961 WASC. For the purpose of his research, he selected (sampled) 13 subjects from a full population of more than 13 subjects. The following statement was coveniently ignored: Table 3 shows the direction of enrolment of Nigerian candidates in 13 selected subjects, for 1961 and 1974. saasala: |
Religion / Re: Pastor Sign Fireman Arrested In Ritual Murder Case by pluto04(m): 12:30am On Jan 09, 2014 |
abhosts: Do you need to kill someone to obtain her feces? But as usual the gullible public would believe the story. The suspect, Ikechukwu Friday, said he had gone to beg a pastor for money when the pastor instructed him to kill a young girl and obtain her faeces. He said the pastor promised him N100, 000 if he was able to accomplish the task. He said, “I attend a popular church around Ketu Street, Aguda, but I live with my parents in Badagry. I just finished secondary school and I have been very broke. So, I approached the pastor for money, but he told me that I should strangulate a little girl. “He explained that while strangulating the girl, she would pass out faeces in the throes of death. The pastor said I should obtain the faeces and bring it to him. He said if I could do this, he would give me N100,000. “On December 30, 2013, I approached a young girl, Bose Ogoja. Her mother sells food in Badagry and I usually patronise them; so she trusted me. I told the girl that I wanted to show her something and she should follow me. I took her to an abandoned NITEL building and locked the door. “I squeezed her neck and truly, she passed out faeces. I was, however, not able to get the faeces because I was caught before I could escape.” http://www.punchng.com/metro/teenager-kills-12-year-old-girl-for-money-ritual/ |

figment232: 68. Which part of the section you posted leads you to the foregoing conclusion? Did you read this part: (1) A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in the House of which he is a member if - That is all that matters. That section has nothing to do with recognition of faction by INEC Chairman. Nobody's seat will (or can be) declared vacant. They are still in PDP they have not left. Even if they now leave PDP to join or form other parties (which I believe is one of the next move in this political chess game), their seat cannot not be declared vacant as they have made sure that the PDP is divided and it is now common knowledge. It was a masterstroke that caught team Tukur flatfooted. We are eagerly awaiting the next move in the chess game. Tukur team are now on the defensive and any wrong move could lead to PDP loss of national assembly leadership. |

@Op, it is quite obvious that you and your ilk are trying very hard to justify your pay from PEJ propaganda machine. Moving from thread to thread, opening multiple threads, sounding like a broken record. Kongi only stated the obvious. PEJ has no constitutional role. She is a 'mere domestic appendage' just like the spouse (male or female) of every political office holder in Nigeria. Spouses should only be seen and not heard from. I doubt that you will feel this strongly if the recipient of Kongi's umbrage is a political opponent of your beloved GEJ. Quit your hypocrisy and get a real job! 1 Like |

Eziachi: I read and digested. Did you read and digest the allegation first? Here it is http://thenationonlineng.net/new/news/revealed-northerners-own-80-of-oil-blocks/ Enang, who is also the Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, said that those opposed to the fund should know that over [b]83 per cent of oil blocks [/b]are owned by northerners.Unless the newspaper misquoted him, he did not say 83% of oil blocks allocated to indigenous Nigerian companies. If he was not misquoted, his figure is clearly unreliable. While I empathize with the objectives of the Senator, I think it is simply irresponsible for someone of that stature to make such grave allegation without providing the full figure so that we can work out the percentages by our-self. It is even more irresponsible for the ministry of petroleum resources to keep mum and not release the full figure or a summary if the allegation are false. But this is Nigeria. Everything is possible. |

The Senate on Wednesday gave President Goodluck Jonathan a two-day ultimatum within which to sack the Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Mr. Abdulrasheed Maina, from the Federal Civil Service. The upper legislative chamber said Jonathan risked dire consequences if he failed to end Maina’s stay in office.

A spare part dealer that cannot afford a 50K annual registration fee is in the wrong trade and should quit. Likewise an auto dealer that cannot afford 100K. These people (and many self employed people) don't pay enough income tax (that is dependent on self declared income) and many don't pay at all. The fact that only 43 traders are affected out of several thousand is indicative that these people a very tiny minority. Nobody will miss them if they quit trading. Those supporting them are either intentionally being malicious or they are simply ignorant. And those saying that this is targeted at Igbo are deluded. These trades are not exclusive preserve of the igbos. Other tribes including many Yorubas are also in the trade. |

@pcicero, You're just disturbing yourself. What do you expect from Achebe? He is a Biafran who is still very bitter about losing the Biafran war. He is a clever ibo who knows what will sell and has decided to make a killing before passing on. Gowon is still alive and war is not for romantics. Very disingenous that he manages to blame Awo for everything that happened in the war when Awo was neither the Head of State nor the commander in chief. He didnt start the war and he was not in the military. Ofcourse, the book will not sell if Achebe blames Gowon or Ojukwu. He also manages to know what was driving Awo either because he was Awo or Awo told him. With the controversy generated by the book and the potential sale volume, I have to doff my hat for the man. He is a evil genious! He will make a lot of money from his intellectually lazy account of the the Biafran war, devoid of fact and filled with speculations!! |
