Politics › Re: Lagos – A Case Study In Growth Without Development by Ratello: 1:55pm On Oct 12, 2017
Lagos has the wherewithal and economic potentials to leapfrogged many advanced cities (like Durban, Cairo, Johannesburg, Dubai, London, Frankfurt, New Delhi) as the most developed city provided Restructuring, true federalism and a blend of a socialist state is embraced in Nigeria. Lagos is Nigeria's emporium and a city like Lagos has no business fearing the future, Lagosians should look like kings and queens irrespective of populations upsurge but like the op rightly surmised, Lagos is just growing bust not developing which is the noble truth. If those factors I revealed up there and the total removal of Tinubu's scraggy and itchy fingers from Lagos treasury then Lagos will fulfil its place as the future of a better Nigeria.

The documents went to FEC and president which Baru letters said. Osinbajo confirned what extra do you want. The rest if FEC hasn't denied. If you read story it still needs details wait for them.

Ps: What balance are you talking about. He signed 680 billion in contracts. That's over the 25 billion.

If Osibanjo actually approved that huge money, trust me, he was coerced and blackmailed to do it. Any other reason he gives is a cover-up.

Northern leaders can be desperate, they don't value Osinbajo's office at all. They see this time Buhari is in power as a time to accumulate everything 'accumulatable'. And Buhari doesn't care.

But on a second note, Osibanjo should have stood his ground and asked necessary questions even though he looks too timid
You have hit the punchline right there, God bless you!

Let’s Say The Truth And Die, Nigeria Is Negotiable – Bishop Kukah
buzznigeria.com Oct 6, 2017 1:06 PM

Bishop Kukah of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto has expressed anguish over what he perceived as injustice and lopsided style of leadership of the President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to Bishop Kukah, a certain section of this country has continued to intimidate everybody and get away with it. He added that many villagers in his parish can no longer go to their farms because of fear of being murdered by Fulani herdsmen.

Below is a complete statement by Bishop Kukah:

“Anyone who thinks the Biafra agitation is a nuisance and irritating should know that it is not the collective aspiration of all Igbos but especially that no one has the monopoly of nuisance.

“Nuisance begets nuisance. When you stay with potash loaders you too will share in their dusty hair. It is in this country that the same standards are not held against all. Some can get away with anything but others cannot get away with something.

“I shudder at those who blame the agitators for agitating. Everyone knows what is good for them. If you don’t know what is good for you then shut up and don’t obstruct those who know what is good for them. If I have my way I will cease to be a Nigerian because there is no sense of nationhood. Those who have leverage over others use it to oppress them. Otherwise, how can you explain the audacious impunity of a certain section of this

“Those who have leverage over others use it to oppress them. Otherwise, how can you explain the audacious impunity of a certain section of this country? They can intimidate everybody even a sitting president and get away with it.

“When GEJ was president he was literally harassed by this same people until they sent him packing and we thought they will be appeased. But a las we were mistaken!

“Now, how do I love a country where a murderous terrorist group like the herdsmen acclaimed even internationally as deadly is being openly defended by a government that wants my loyalty.

“Do you know as I make this comment, a first class Chief of Bokkos LGA in plateau state was murdered by a certain group of Fulanis almost a year now and no one has been arrested not to talk of prosecution; there are many villagers in my parish who cannot go to farm again except to farm their backyard because their farms have been forcefully annexed by their Fulani murderers; that in Bokkos a wife and a daughter can be taken away right before her husband or father and be repeatedly raped then released at the convenience of the barbaric Fulani tribesmen and no one dares talk; police will advise you to go and settle the matter through dialogue? I want independence from a country where terrorists are embraced and agitators are terrorized.

“At the slightest excitement Hausa or Fulani man can kill you and get away with it; it has happened and continues to happen but when you gear up to defend yourself because security will not, then you are caught by the same security who will lecture you on how to be peaceful and law abiding. This country will end unless there is justice for all.

“Rubbish! I hate the lie that Nigeria is. Let’s say the truth and die but it is what will set us free. Nigeria is negotiable to me the oppressed even if it’s not to the oppressor and that is normal.

“The only right Nigerians concede to you is the right to agree with them,” Bishop Kukah concluded.

Politics › Yoruba E Ronu (A Must Read)! by Ratello(op): 8:56am On Oct 10, 2017
I saw dis piece somewhere. Take time to ponder over it:

*FORWARDED AS RECEIVED.*
YORUBA E RONU
Good morning, my dear friends.

Now let's reason together and think about my counter views on Igbo bashing as expressed below;

But ask yourself, did the Igbos put guns on anybody's head before buying up Alaba, Ajegunle, isolo and Oshodi in Lagos.

Did they use juju before the Ibadan surrendered Iwo Road to them?

And what were we looking at before the Igbos took over Isida and Adeti in Ilesa.

Where were the YORUBAS when the Igbos thrived and built 90% of the Hotels at Abuja. Was there a law that excluded the YORUBAS from selling building materials? Dei Dei building materials market in Abuja is 90 % Igbo owned.

So the more we point one finger at the Igbos, the more we have the other four fingers pointing at our laziness and lack of initiative as a society.

The YORUBAS should have been better with all our education,, but we may be worse that the Fulanis who just roam around the bush.

Why? Because we lack the entrepreneur ship spirit. We just want salaries from doing 8 to 5 job. We proceed in foolishness and we persist in hoping to reap plenty without showing hard. The Igbos are different, hence we are now jealous and envious

We love wasteful parties and Aso Ebi. Just a little business without even making any profit yet, we usually call musicians to spay money like coffetti .

Where are all the Board Members of Ebenezer Obey today? Where is lawyer Omoyinmi and Lanre Badmus? Where is Oroki Social Club of Osogbo? Where is Felates of Ilesa and the likes whose trade mark was to bring Sunny Ade to Ilesa every Xmas, to waste all income garthered for the year?

The Yoruba society wasted their leading lights on excessive consumption and wasteful attitudes. We wasted our capital on frivolous social gartherings.

We took religion to ridicoulous levels, such that the wealthiest pastors and churches are now Yorubas. But all the wealth extracted by the churches from the Yoruba nation is also merely flaunted to show who's God is the most miracleous.

So we have become paupers and destitutes, as the Yoruba nation cannot now pay salaries. Pensions are owed for years.

Tell me is Osun State filled with human beings or goats to have tolerated Aregbesola, when they rejected Akande. Say it loud, is the Constituted Authority of Ibadan sane to just bring about 21 Obas from nowhere to receive salaries, where there is no money to reopen Ladoke Akintola University?

Are the Ondos so wise to have allowed Mimiko to devastate their terrain as to be now saddled with 12 months salary arrears? What of Ekiti with rabble rousing Fayose and the intellectually arrogant Fayemi?

Even Lagos, there is nothing to write home about it, despite all the hype.

But the Igbos are hard workers. Let us not continue to deceive ourselves. 20 of their young boys can live in the shop from where they sell goods. There is no place too dirty or remote for them to hibernate and incubate their ideas. Give them 5 years, you will see them buy and take over all shops and land.

True, some of them are criminals, but majority of the Igbo youths build and build physical structures away, while the YORUBAS are content with looking for salaried jobs, so that they can have siesta in the afternoons and then attend parties on Saturdays. Then spend Sunday in church wishing and praying for divine miracles.

How foolish, as the Igbo people are meeting and strategizing on Sunday, so that they can gather money and come and buy the houses and lands owned by Yoruba fathers.

Whether we like it or not, Obokungbusi Town Hall will soon be on concessional PPP sale. The Igbos will buy it. The proceeds will be used to pay backlog of salaries owed to impoverished Ijeshas. It will come willy nilly.

It will happen even in a declared Oduduwa republic. After all the Chinese, the Lebanese and the South Africans are buying us out with reckless abandon. See how ShopRite is buying up everywhere. I heard that they bought Owena Motel estate in Akure. How come we did not sell it to the Igbos?

We shall continue to grumble and hate the Igbos until eternity. Unless we spy on them, copy their ways and imbibe their can do attitude.

The Yoruba nation and society have been pauperised and destituted. In desperation, we shall soon start to behave like the Almajiris' in the North.

In grinding poverty and out of jealousy, the Almajiris of the North regularly loot Igbo shops and businesses. Very soon Yoruba urchins will start looting too to show that they hate the Igbos.

Even some of us here will defend it to show our hatred for the Igbos. Whereas, the looting is as a result of hunger and uselessness of our society.

Politics › President Buhari Calls For Calm On Issue Between Kachikwu, Baru by Ratello(op): 3:37pm On Oct 08, 2017
naij.com Oct 8, 2017 9:29 AM
- President Buhari has called for an end to the public bickering between Kachikwu and Baru

- The minister of state for petroleum met with President Buhari

- The president called for sanity over the issue

President Muhammadu Buhari has called for sanity in the embarrassing public debacle between minister of state for petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu and Maikanti Baru, the group managing director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation.

Vanguard reports that the president specifically ordered that pubic bickering must stop.

The minister had met with the president at the Aso Rock Villa on Friday, October 6 and a source privy to the meeting Buhari spoke about compelling needs “to tackle issues such as attacks on oil and gas facilities, funding of new projects and rehabilitation of refineries as well as implementation of Nigeria’s new petroleum policy in order to guarantee long term survival of the nation’s oil and gas industry. “

Vanguard reported that in the policy, there was articulation for “a vision for the petroleum industry and sets policy goals, strategies and an implementation plan for the introduction of an appropriate institutional, legal, regulatory and commercial framework to resolve the barriers currently affecting investment in the sector.

“It is intended that this policy will be reviewed and updated periodically to ensure consistency in Government policy objectives at all times. Once issued and gazetted, any policy position set out herein will bind Government officials unless and until amended or replaced by a formal restatement of policy duly gazetted by the Government.”

PAY ATTENTION: Read the news on Nigeria’s #1 new app

NAIJ.com gathered that Kachikwu had alleged that the NNPC boss had repeatedly sidelined and disrespected the board of the national oil firm, which is chaired by the minister of state.

The minister, in a leaked letter, had informed Buhari that against the rules, some over $25bn contracts were never reviewed or discussed with him or the board of NNPC.

NAIJ.com also gathered that Kachikwu was also at the Villa on Thursday, October 5 where he held a brief meeting with the Chief of Staff to the president, Abba Kyari.

The meeting with Buhari is coming three days after a memo from the minister to the president leaked. In the memo, dated August 30, Mr. Kachikwu accused the Group Managing Director of the state oil firm, NNPC, Maikanti Baru, of insubordination and violation of due process.
