PoliticsRe: Innoson Unveils First ‘made-in-nigeria’ Cars (pics) by saintopus(m): 11:57am On Dec 03, 2014
This is realy a splendid news. I think the Federal Government as well as state government should direct all Agencies and Parastatals to use Nigeria made cars. Movie makers too should be asked to use made in Nigeria cars for all their movies, this is how other countries develop their auto industries. Check India, US, UK, Germany, Japan, China etc all have similar stories. They all patronize their locally made cars whether in movies or government functions. I think Nigeria will be great again. The only probkem now is insurgency in Northern Nigeria then followed by corruption. But the way things are going, development with time may force corruption out and then we will have insurgency to battle with.
God Bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
PoliticsRe: The American Oil Boom Won't Last Long At $65 Per Barrel by saintopus(m): 10:13pm On Dec 02, 2014
I think in my opinion, in moments like this government had to look out for solution. One of which is the total removal of oil subsidy. Cut government overbloated expenditure by possible merging Agencies and Parastatal with overlapping functions. Taxes too must be taken seriously more especially on luxury goods.

MOD move this to FP very educative

Wow. Corruption will reduce because Innoson assembles cars?
I did not say corruption will reduce because INNOSON assembled cars. All what am trying to say is that development with time will reduce corruption.
PoliticsEnvoy Faults Nigeria’scancellation Of U.s.military Training Pact by saintopus(op): 1:32am On Dec 02, 2014
UNITED States of
America Monday
described as
premature Federal
Government’s decision to
discontinue the American
military training of a Nigerian
Army battalion.
Although Nigerian military
officials refused to comment on
the cancellation of the training,
the United States Embassy
Abuja, in a statement titled ‘US
Government Regrets Nigerian
Cancellation of Military Training’
described it as “premature.”
The US training of the Nigerian
Army battalions was to enable
it imbibe its operational manual
on procedures to minimise
human rights abuses during
their activities.
The US statement read: “At the
request of the Nigerian
government, the United States
will discontinue its training of a
Nigerian Army battalion. The
first two phases of training
were conducted between April
and August 2014, and had
provided previously untrained
civilian personnel with basic
soldiering skills. Based on
mutual assessment of the
Nigerian Army and U.S.
trainers, a third iteration of
training was agreed upon with
the intent of developing the
battalion into a unit with
advanced infantry skills.
“We regret premature
termination of this training, as
it was to be the first in a larger
planned project that would
have trained additional units
with the goal of helping the
Nigerian Army build capacity to
counter Boko Haram. The U.S.
government will continue other
aspects of the extensive
bilateral security relationship,
as well as all other assistance
programs.”
The United States has been
critical of the Nigerian
military’s campaign against the
Boko Haram insurgents,
accusing it of human rights
abuses. And it based its
inability to sell weapon systems
to Nigeria on that.
Nigeria’s Ambassador to the
United States of America, Prof
Ade Adefuye had on November
10 chided the United States of
America for refusing to sell
weapons to Nigeria to
effectively contain the Boko
Haram insurgency in Northern
Nigeria, saying that the war
against the insurgents would
have been won long ago had
the US agreed to sell weapons
to Nigeria.

Afam4eva:
While growing up, i saw Amorc, Ogboni and Eckancar as satanic cults or atleast that's what we were made to believe that we even pray against Amorc spirit like we pray against demons. I don't know what to make of these groups but all i can say is that when you don't do things that are acceptable by popular culture, you risk being called every bad name there is.
Well, I love the part you mentioned that "If you don't do things that are acceptable by popular culture, you risk being called every bad there is ". Certainly you are right, you see that is the African mentality, "If it is not my kind of God, then it is wrong or hell fire await such person". First, I will blame the individual for not taking time to ask questions before arriving at a spurious conclusion, or at least do a research about it. I think this is also because of fear and the popular concept "What will people say "?. A lot has changed in Africa, maybe because of technology. I also feel we are still in the elementary stages in Religion, as well as many other things in Africa. We shall get there some day.



NOTE: I am a member of Eckankar, the religion of the Light and Sound of God.

From my own little perspective, corruption is no longer a major threat for now.Insurgency is a greater threat then followed by corruption, of which I feel that with development like this, corruption in high places will reduce. My opinion though!!!

Then why is eckankar a religion if your god is not religion associated?
Eckankar god? There is nothing like that. When I say Almighty God, I mean the God who loves all life, animals, the galaxies, including muslims, christians, Eckists, hindus, atheist, traditionalists, etc. For now the popular belief of major religion in the world is "If you do not belief in our god, then you will burn in hell fire for all eternity ". That is not the God I am talking about.

@ OP, let me correct few errors you made about ECKANKAR. I am a member of ECKANKAR, The religion of the Light and Sound of God. It is registered with the Coporate affairs Commission as the third religion in Nigeria, the others being Christainity and Islam. We have a copy of our Holy Book The Sharyat-Ki-Sugmad in the Library of the National Assembly. It was externalised in 1965 by Paul Twitchel and not Johnpaul Twitchel as you highlighted. And more importamtly, members of Eckankar do not worship eck as you also stated.
Please be properly guided.!

PoliticsNASS Siege: Presidency Backs Police IG by saintopus(op): 8:06pm On Nov 20, 2014
Says the scenario is unfortunate
By Henry Umoru
ABUJA- THE Presidency Thursday
backed the Inspector – General of
Police, Suleiman Abba who
ordered heavily armed security
operatives to block the National
Assembly Complex where Speaker
Aminu Tambuwal and other
lawmakers were prevented from
gaining access to the House to
preside over the deliberation on
the extension of emergency rule
in the North-East.
According to the Presidency, the
Inspector- General of Police was
not only carrying out his
constitutional functions in his
capacity as the number one police
officer, but also carried out the
assignment to protect lives and
property, just as it described
Thursday’s incident as
unfortunate.
Addressing Journalists Thursday,
Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Public Affairs, Dr.
Doyin Okupe who noted that
Suleiman Abba never invaded the
National Assembly, but barricaded
it said, “Assumption (on whether
the police boss was acting on
instruction from the President)
should stop. The IGP is a very
senior officer of the government
and his duties are to enforce the
law.
“He doesn’t need to get the villa to
enforce the law. He is not a house
boy. Though he works under the
government but he is expected to
defend the law. IGP has the duty
to enforce the law. He acted in the
discharge of his duty. The IGP
didn’t invade the assembly. It is
wrong to assume that.”
” The whole scenario at the
National Assembly today as we
witnessed is rather unfortunate.
We wish that at all times; national
interest should supersede all
other interests including personal
and political interests.
“From Government perspective,
the overriding concern today is
the issue of insurgency which
necessitated the request by Mr
President that the National
Assembly considers an extension
of the State of Emergency to give
the Security forces the needed
legal framework and space for a
successful prosecution of the war
against Boko Haram terrorists.
“It is our hope that the Honorable
members of the House of
Representatives will use the period
of adjournment to resolve all
matters so that they can resume
to deliberate and act on issues of
National importance.”
