PoliticsFuel Strike: FG Now Owes Marketers N470b - Vanguard by saintopus(op): 5:58am On Nov 04, 2015
THE Federal Government’s outstanding indebtedness to oil marketers has risen to N470 billion, arising from a backlog of unpaid subsidy claims since August 1, 2014 till date.

This is even as the marketers say they require in excess of $2 billion dollars to pay off their foreign suppliers, otherwise they will not be able to continue to import more petroleum products into the country.

Marketers, who spoke to Vanguard in confidence yesterday, lamented that government has not been able to fulfil its promise to offset all outstanding marketers’ claims between October and second week in November. This is just as the promise by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to assist marketers in accessing dollars to pay off their foreign suppliers has also not yielded fruit.

Thanks for your effort. But the program will not be economically viable. Reducing the monthly allocation to States will result into the various States not being able to meet with their monthly financial obligations such as payment of salaries and some other very important developmental projects.
Besides the President will face a lot of constitutional breaches which will a story for another day.
This is why some few individuals are agitating that for the President to function effectively the constitution need to be suspended. Which is not possible. Even people who sincerely love the President will not toe into this line of reasoning.
It will be a difficult task.

PoliticsNIGERIA Will Renew MTN License With $94.2 Million--GOODLUCK by saintopus(op): 2:17pm On Nov 03, 2015
Johannesburg – South Africa’s MTN on Tuesday said the Nigerian regulator had renewed its operations and licence up to 2021 at a cost of 94.2 million dollars .
MTN said that it received confirmation from the regulator that its operating spectrum in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequency bands had been renewed.
There were media reports recently that MTN had a 5.2 billion dollars’ fine imposed on it by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for failing to deregister SIM cards in its largest market.
MTN’s operating spectrum and digital mobile licence were issued in 2001, and both were due to expire in February 2016.
Both have now been extended to Aug.31, 2021, the firm said.
“We view this extension as a demonstration of confidence in MTN’s capacity to continue to provide ground-breaking and innovative services to its customers,’’ Akinwale Goodluck, said in a separate statement.
Goodluck is MTN’s corporate affairs executive.
Shares in MTN, which earns 37 per cent of its revenue from Nigeria, dropped by 25 per cent since the fine was announced last week.
South Africa’s bourse on Monday suspended trading in its stock for a few hours.
The firm’s shares recovered somewhat in early trade on the bourse, advancing 0.9 percent to 149.50 rand.
The company’s largest shareholder, South Africa’s Public Investment Corporation, said it was concerned about MTN’s alleged non-compliance with telecommunications regulations of Nigeria.
The allegation was that MTN’s management did not immediately disclose material information to the market.

Okorocha, who made this known while fielding questions from journalists in Owerri, also claimed that the electorate in the two states voted overwhelmingly for the APC.
“Rivers and Akwa Ibom States are very strategic to the APC. The electorate in the two states voted overwhelmingly for the APC but their votes were stolen by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, through various forms of electoral malpractices”, Okorocha said.
Although he resisted the temptation of disclosing the strategies his APC political platform intends to use in sacking PDP in Rivers and Akwa Ibom States, Chief Okorocha however said that plans were on to actualize the target.
Answering another question, Okorocha said he stands vindicated, following the eventual victory of President Muhammadu Buhari during the last general election.

PastorAIO:
A Thought:

It is a known fact of economics that when an economy/culture is blossoming it attracts labour (ie human resources) while a shrinking economy exports labour. This is true whether the means is by wilful migration or by Forced migration (slavery). When we consider the fact that Africa has been exporting labour for over 500 years at a rate that I don't think any other continent has experienced historically then I think that would suggest that in Africa we've got nothing going on.

Okay even if we accept the despicable practice of enslaving other humans. imagine an african king that has been approached by european slave traders. They want 10, 000 human slaves for their economy. Which kind of economy is prepared to lose 10, 000 of it's labour force, amongst whom are probably some geniuses of various fields of endeavour. If our Kings and chiefs were correct people with a vision for their nations they would balk. Afterall presumably they would have projects of their own for which they would need all that labour. Perhaps roads need building, or farms need irrigating and crops planted and harvested.

My explanation for the scale of the slave trade is that there was absolutely no vision in Africa. Our leaders had no ambition. Therefore no need for labour to implement the vision. The problem is a cultural one. And a Spiritual one. The dearth of vision ( a situation still prevalent today) suggests that there is something wrong with the African at a cultural and psychological level. As much as we like to give lip service to our culture the fact remains that a lot of african people are terribly uncultured. Without a cultural foundation to give direction and context to our lives we are just blowing in the wind, or as Baba Kuti so aptly put, we just dey roll like one yeye ball wey one yeye wind dey blow from one yeye corner.

In contrast European society has ideals that give their culture impetus (even though these ideals are starting to unravel under the influence of modern capitalism). If we don't have any ideals of our own then maybe we are better off borrowing the ideals of another or even allowing those who have ideals to kuku take over the reins of government.
This is the naked truth. Take a look at what is happening today in Nigeria. Our leaders have been people bereft of leadership qualities with lack of direction. This present administration is no exception.
I have always known that African problems stem from mental slavery and imprisonment from his habits over a prolonged period of time.
In other words, I agree totally that African countries would be better off a zillion times if Europeans or whites are ruling us. Forget about the inhumane treatment given to us. Are we not having inhumane treatment given to us now that we are ruling ourselves
