Politics / Chaos As House(north) Rejects S’east Development Bill by rollybest(m): 6:53am On Jun 02, 2017 |
House of Representatives was again thrown into a rowdy session on Thursday, forcing a hasty adjournment of proceedings . The cause of the rowdiness was the rejection of a bill seeking to establish a South - East Development Commission The bill failed at the session , which was presided over by the Speaker, Mr . Yakubu Dogara, after it had been debated. A similar bill to establish the North- East Development Commission had since been passed by the National Assembly, awaiting the assent of President Muhammadu Buhari. However, South - East lawmakers immediately protested the decision on the grounds that the House could have, at least , allowed the bill to pass the second reading for more views to be collated from Nigerians at a public hearing. Tension had built up in the House since Wednesday when the bill was billed to be moved for second reading . However, it was stepped down on Wednesday because the lead sponsor and Deputy Minority Leader of the House , Mr . Chukwuka Onyeama, was unavailable in the chambers . He returned soon after the bill was stood down. The bill was re -listed for Thursday ( yesterday) , but again , Onyeama was unavailable just as the bill was to be taken and it had to be stood down a second time in line with the rules of proceedings . But South -East lawmakers began a loud protest, insisting that the bill must be taken. In the midst of the rowdiness , Onyeama reappeared in the chambers, just like he did on Wednesday after the bill had been stood down. Dogara had to bend backwards to approve a motion for the rescission of the earlier ruling stepping down the bill . The speaker said , “ Let me clarify that it was not as if the bill was stopped . The sponsor of the bill was not around and we followed the rules to step it down. “ Now that he is here , we will take it. Nobody will shut out anybody because we don’ t have the right to do that. ” Dogara calmed frayed nerves and opened debate on the bill. Onyeama, while leading the debate , said the South - East geopolitical zone needed the commission to develop collapsed infrastructure and the damage suffered by the zone as a result of the Nigerian Civil War . “ The war led to massive destruction of critical infrastructure in the region , including roads, houses and environmental degradation , ” he said . Onyeama added that the region was worst -hit by erosion and other ecological problems. The lawmaker stated that the commission would be funded from seven sources. The first is through “ 15 per cent” of the total monthly statutory allocations due to member states of the commission from the Federation Account. The second source, he explained, would be from “ three per cent ” of the total budget of any oil - producing company operating onshore and offshore in the South - East states , including gas processing companies. The third source is from “ three per cent ” of the total annual budget of any solid mineral extracting or mining company operating in the South - East. The fourth source will come through “ 50 per cent ” of money due to member states of the commission from the Ecological Fund. Five to seven of the funding sources are ” Such monies as may , from time to time , be granted or lent to or be deposited with the commission by the Federal Government or a state government , any other body or institution , whether local or foreign. All monies raised for the purpose of the commission by way of gifts , loans, grants - in-aid , testamentary disposition or otherwise . “ Proceeds from all other assets that may , from time to time , accrue to the commission. ” All South - East members , who spoke , including Mr . Uzoma Nkem- Abonta, Mr . Henry Nwawuba and Mr . Toby Okechukwu, said they gave “ 100 per cent ” backing to the bill. For instance , Nkem- Abonta argued that he believed the bill was the solution to the renewed agitation for the Republic of Biafra . “ We have to stop the crisis that is building up in the South - East before it turns into something else, ” he said . Members from the South -South , led by the Minority Leader , Mr . Leo Ogor , also supported the bill . “ Every zone deserves a commission because this country needs to be restructured. We cannot continue this way, ” Ogor told the House . Mr . Kehinde Agboola , who spoke for the South -West, said , “ History will not forgive us if today we fail to support this bill. ” However, trouble started when all the lawmakers from the North spoke against the bill . Members from North -West , North- East and North- Central , all opposed the bill . For example , Mr . Mohammed Sani -Abdu opposed the bill on the grounds that it was a move to “ divide Nigeria in piecemeal. ” He observed that coming soon after the government was trying to address the devastation caused by Boko Haram in the North -East, the timing of the bill was wrong . Sani -Abdu recalled that after the civil war ended in 1970, government made concerted efforts to rebuild the South -East and re -integrate the people into the rest of Nigeria . He argued that funding of the commission, using “ three per cent” of the annual budget of oil companies operating in the South - East was indirect funding by the Federal Government . Another member from the North, Mr . Karimi Sunday , said some South - East states were already benefiting from the funding of the Niger Delta Development Commission by the oil companies. “ Are we going to ask the same oil companies to fund the South - East Development Commission again ? “ Are we saying that every zone should come up with its own development commission?” he asked . When Dogara put the bill to a voice vote , he ruled in favour of those rejecting the commission. For clarity purpose , he called the votes twice before bringing down his gavel . But South -East lawmakers began another round of protests as Dogara handed over proceedings to the Deputy Speaker, Mr . Yussuff Lasun , and left the chambers . Lasun quickly adjourned the House as the rowdiness worsened. Outside the chambers, South -East lawmakers continued the protest. Onyeama threatened that he would resign his position as a leader of the House . “ I am a leader in this House ; you can’ t just kill my bill like that. I will resign , ” he fumed. Another member from Abia State , Mrs. Nkiruka Onyejeocha , said her colleagues were not happy that the bill was rejected. “ At least , they could have passed it for second reading . “ At the committee stage , more work could have been done on it to remove the grey areas, ” she said . One member from Rivers State , Boma Goodhead , joined in the protest, saying the North was not fair to the South - East. “ They are using our oil money to address the issue of Boko Haram . Now , they are against this bill . It is not fair, ” she shouted and walked away angrily. source:punch newspaper 1 Like |

Investment / Democracy Day: Mmm-nigeria Organises ‘green Party’ by rollybest(m): 10:16pm On May 29, 2017 |
MMM- Nigeria , a group for mutual financial aid and donations on Monday organised a green party show in the Federal Capital Territory to celebrate Nigeria ’ s Democracy Day . The party, which held at the Millennium Park, was opened to members of the group and non- members alike . Mr Seyi Bello, the President of Abuja Guiders Forum of the MMM- Nigeria said the gesture was part of solidarity by the group for Nigeria ’ s 18- years of uninterrupted democracy. “ This party is put together to celebrate our Democracy Day and since Nigeria ’ s flag is green- white -green , we decided to call it ‘ green party’ as a mark of solidarity. “ We invited everyone to be a part of this event because friendship and unity is what this community of mutual help represents. “ As a community, we do not only provide help to our members , we also extend that to the larger society as part of our social responsibility, ” he said . Musicians, comedians and other entertainers in the territory performed at the event . Bello explained that over three million Nigerians were members of the group . He explained that contrary to some people ’ s opinion about the scheme , it scheme was a community of people providing financial help to each other on the principle of reciprocity and benevolence. “ That is what defines us as a community of people providing financial help to each other on the principle of reciprocity and benevolence. “ In MMM , there are no lenders and no debtors . One participant asks for help , another one helps. ’’ He , therefore , called on leaders at all levels to deliver basic dividends of democracy to Nigerians, adding that the current recession was affecting ordinary Nigerians . “ As we celebrate democracy , let our leaders remember that we need change in all aspects of our lives, ” he said . Mavrodi Mondial Movement is a Ponzi scheme , which was revived early this year after freezing participants ’ accounts for a month in December 2016. (NAN) |
