Their website is a fraud. Any company that is able to offer 300k monthly to their staff should be able to pay 2500 naira yearly for a registered domain name.

Their website is hosted on a free web hosting site (.ueuo.com) and their web address (aiteo-ng.ueuo.com) pointed to a .tk domain name (aiteo-ng.tk) which is free.

Guess they have not scammed enough people to be able to afford to register a website. Nice web layout and design though. Amateurs.

Your Excellency Sir, Are these the names of the future presidents of Western Niger and co?

When appointments does not favour you, you rally against federal character; but when you are benefiting from it you see nothing wrong with it .

In fact you seem to derive a special joy in putting one up on others who are at the receiving end. This logic is confusing!!!

Although, truth be told, I do not believe in this mischief riddled report. The author should give a full list of all appointments carried out recently by the Nigerian army and not some selective positions to buttress his dubious argument. I smell bullshit here.

He who ask for equity must come with clean hand!!!

How come the link provided to this bogus story is dead. Are you sure about your source or is this another bare-faced lie?

This link will give you an index of all the downloadable data pertaining to Lagos state government expenditure in the year 2012:

http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/Y2012/

It contains detailed pdf documents about:
1. External loan payment
2. federal transfer
3. overhead cost by agencies
4. Summary of capital expenditure
5. Summary of Personnel expenditure
6. Summary of recurrent expenditure
and so on.

thelastPope: For your information, your link is a dead link. I have been there before and it is still dead, even now. I believe it is because of questions like the one the @op is asking that they removed the PDF files from the site. Now you are really indicting yourselves!!!

Gbawe: Are you at all sane? Ok, you, Lateef4me, killed Funsho Williams. I was there and I saw you do it.

naptu2

For creating and also constantly updating one of the most informative thread in recent time on nairaland: "Nigeria: The Good, The Bad, The Beautiful, The Ugly" , I nominate NAPTU2. An excellent thread without all the hate and bigotry that infects most popular thread in the politics section. Full of memories of years gone by, the achievements and the potentials that this country once held. I always look forward to each update and also share it with my family and friends.

[quote author=ODUA_NEGRO]This is not a new thing at all. Media licensing had been in the books for decades it just had lapsed and never enforced. Lagos is bringing back its enforcement.

The Western Region, back when it had the WNTV (first tv station in Africa) and WNBC (first radio statiin in Nigeria), raised its own revenue through licensing. If you did not pay you will receive a citation plus carry a debt and if you are delinquent your receiver will be shut off.

This was back when there were inspectors and regulators and enforcers and the society was orderly and bureaucracy worked. In Lagos, a lot of the enforcement was done by the LCC - Lagos City Council.

How did I know this? lol, I saw this old redifussion box my grandfather owned and started asking questions about it. I got plenty education on it. It had only one channell by the way..... They had a theme drum when it was time for Irohin - news and it went like this...... ninu ikoko dudu lati'n se 'be.[/quote]Still remember that theme. It was from a talking drum though. My grandmother used to interpret it as: "bi olubadan ba ku, ta ni o joye?" Happy days

At least 20 students have been shot dead by unknown gunmen in Mubi, north-eastern Nigeria, a police source has told the BBC.

The attack happened at a student hostel away from the Federal Polytechnic Mubi campus, the source said.

A lecturer told the BBC that more than 40 students had been killed but there has been no official comment.

The reported killing comes days after a major operation against the Boko Haram militant group in the town.

The lecturer, who did not want his name to be used, told the BBC's Hausa service that the students were asked to say their names after lining up.

He says it is not clear why some were killed and others spared - some of those killed were Muslims.

"Everybody is scared and staying indoors now," he said.

He added that students were now leaving the town - they have draped tree branches over their cars, which is a traditional sign of neutrality in Nigeria.

Boko Haram militants fighting to establish Islamic law in Nigeria have killed more than 1,000 people in northern and central areas this year.

Government of settlement. Its a big shame that the finance minister could even suggest negotiating with subsidy thieves and fraudsters considering what happened (deaths and all)during the January fuel subsidy protest.

I am no doomsayer but i think this article gives a better perspective of the disadvantages of having access to cheap credit and market speculation:

The Chinese are not really interested in living in exact replica of a British countryside or a Manhattan style island; all they want to do is to be gainfully employed at building them.

Jakumo...You is da man!!!

What of Mali?

Have a nice day mister

PapaBrowne: Mr Man, if you've been to Angola, you wouldn't speak like this. That article you posted is a British perspective and I care too little about their perspective when it comes to African issues. They call these projects Ghost towns because its the Chinese building them. For crying out loud, these properties were commissioned only this year and they are to house 750,000 in a country of 14 million. Do you expect them to be sold out in 3 months? Even estates with 30 properties take years to fill up in lagos talkless of a town with over 100,000 properties.

About Angola's future oil earnings, you probably didn't realise that they have used it to solve their future housing problems.
Its amazon that Lagos cannot raise the money required to execute development projects but Tinubu can raise the money to start an airline, build two Oriental hotels and build a $100million shopping mall. Think, one man can raise the money(almost $300million) to execute these projects but Lagos is struggling with funds to complete the few projects that Fashola embarked upon.

If you are going to show development in Angola, at least be honest enough to inform others that those building were paid for by the government with expected future oil earnings.
The people can't even afford such cities, they are basically ghost towns.

You may not be comfortable with the level of development in Lagos, but be honest with your analysis and don't mislead others.

Check the link for more details. Angola have virtually mortgaged their future for a pie-in-the-sky type of development.

* He was an embarrassment to Ijaw, Niger Delta – Militant group

By Kingsley Omonobi, Emma Amaize and Festus Ahon

For President Goodluck Jonathan, the sacking of the National Security Adviser (NSA), General Owoye Azazi, on the heels of the insurgency in the North that has claimed hundreds of lives, did not come easy, Sunday Vanguard was made to understand at the weekend.

Left to the president, sources said, he would have preferred to retain the NSA, believing that, with time, solution would be found to the challenge of the insurgency.

But Jonathan’s trip to Rio De Janeiro, the Brazilian capital, where he attended a sustainable development summit alongside the heads of state of many other countries, played a crucial role in deciding Azazi’s fate.

Presidency sources said the president approached some of his colleagues at the parley to help on the foreign direct investment (FDI) drive of his administration but was told in unmistakable terms that it was difficult in the face of the high level insecurity occasioned by the terror attacks in the country.

“President Jonathan was told to be more decisive in tackling the insecurity challenge if he was serious about the FDI drive of his administration”, one source told Sunday Vanguard.

The source added: “It was against this backdrop that the president toyed with the idea of trying another security machinery to combat the terrorism challenge, hence the removal of the NSA”.

Azazi was removed, on Friday, along with the Defence Minister, Alhaji Haliru Mohammed Bello.
The NSA is the second security chief to be removed since the insurgency challenge in the North spearheaded by the Boko Haram Islamists began.

Hafiz Ringim was sacked as the Inspector General of Police in January after an alleged high profile terrorist, Kabiru Sokoto, under arrest, escaped from police custody.

Jonathan’s trip last week, to Brazil for the Rio + 20 Summit on Sustainable Development amid terror attacks in Kaduna and Yobe States, in itself, generated some furore.

The president was accused of being insensitive.

Sunday Vanguard learnt that Jonathan was at pains in relieving the NSA of his appointment in the wake of “the international community’s position on the Nigeria’s insurgency”.

A source said the president related with Azazi as “an uncle” and found it difficult to fault his advice on security matters notwithstanding the spate of terrorist attacks in the North.

The source traced their relationship to the past when Jonathan was the Bayelsa deputy governor and the NSA the chief of the army staff.

Persona non-grata
Meanwhile, the Niger Liberation Force, NDLF, a militant group in the Niger-Delta, yesterday, declared the sacked NSA a persona-non-grata in Ijaw communities in the region, including his country home, Peretoru-gbene in Bayelsa state.

The group, in a statement by its spokesman, “Captain” Mark Anthony, welcomed the removal of Azazi for incompetence, saying he was an embarrassment to the Ijaw nation and Niger-Delta.

The group said: “The leadership of Niger Delta Liberation Force, NDLF, has lauded President Goodluck Jonathan for the sacking of General Andrew Owoye Azazi(rtd) who was the National Security Adviser to President Gooodluck Jonathan for incompetence”.

“The NSA was an embarrassment and failure to Ijaw nation/Niger Delta and to the President’s kitchen cabinet as the man misled the President with his archaic classroom military tactics that did not work out in practical combatant operations.

“The sack decision by Mr. President is a wise decision that came almost too late as he was seen overtly incompetent, which brought Mr. President and Nigerian government to international ridicule and embarrassment on security matters.

“NDLF had called for the sack of the NSA for long since he was found, obviously derailing, which result had put hundreds of Nigerians into untimely death by the Boko Haram extremists’ activities through bombing worshipping centers and other public places”.

The militant group went on: “For the record, the sack of NSA, Andrew Azazi, is unconnected with his publicized accusation against the PDP -led government of fueling the current insecurity and bombings in northern parts of the nation. But it was a clear show of incompetence on his part.

“One could recall that in 2010, when NDLF had a gun confrontation with the Joint Task Force (JTF) and the JTF lost the battle, the Nigerian Army, under the watchful eyes and supervision of the sacked NSA, sent JTF soldiers to test run their newly acquired military planes and other lethal weapons on an Ijaw town of Ayakoromor on the 1st of December, 2010, thereby causing genocide on harmless and innocent ancient community.

“As God does His things, Boko Haram, from the North, sprung up by killing innocent Nigerians in hundreds under the same Azazi’s security supervision, but he failed to deploy the same military war planes and other lethal weapons to bomb some northern towns to stem further suicide bombing as he commanded in the case of the Niger -Delta militancy.

“But, to our surprise, the former NSA cleverly dodged his responsibility by being afraid of his former generals and ex-military heads of state from the North by shifting blames carelessly and raising accusing fingers at the ruling PDP of brewing the insecurity in the nation.

“How does PDP politics cause suicide bombing of churches and killing of innocent Nigerians? And that prompted Mr. President to demand further explanations from the incompetent NSA for his unguarded outburst”.

Don't you guys think this has gone on long enough? Its okay for two people to have different positions in politics, at the end of the day we are all brothers. We can't all have the same opinion, what matters most is to constantly work towards the improvement of our country regardless of whatever political party we belong to.

We are not robots, we all must have different opinions, most importantly we must respect each other opinions. Nobody knows it all, we all make mistakes but the worth of any man is to be able to realise his mistake it and rise above it.

You guys should stop all this bickering and let sleeping dogs lie.

We are all brothers and we must retain our respect for each other no matter what.

Gaddem...If not for the serious and sensitive subject of boko haram being discussed, this is an epic thread!!!
