have always enjoyed spilling the blood of innocent "disbelievers" mostly christians.. But I've got bad news for y'all muslims, you can't murder your way into our hearts.

What do you think about this guys.
Politics › The Budget: Why Some Animals are More Equal Than Most nigerians by santakris(op): 4:54pm On Jan 08, 2014
It may be a New Year but as far as
Nigeria’s 2014 budget goes, it is the
same old absurdity. If there is anything
that stands the 2014 budget proposal
out from those of recent years, it is
that our budgets are getting better at
getting worse. Many New Year
resolutions are likely to have been
made by Nigerian public officials,
easing the burden of poverty on
Nigerians is definitely not one of them.
This is not a statement without an
empirical background. If the budget is
the most important document of a
government’s commitment to its people
and their well-being, the 2014 budget
tells one a lot about where the
government’s priorities lie. According
to the 2014 budget proposal, the State
House will have two animals delivered
to it this year for N14.5 million. That’s
about N7.25 million for each animal if
they come at the same price. At least
80 per cent of Nigerians must
understandably be jealous of both
animals because 80 per cent of
Nigerians don’t have N14.5 million in
any form, cash, liquid, in form of
animals, properties or whatever. Those
animals will come in already richer
than most Nigerian citizens. At least
one cannot say the government is not
committed to animals. All animals may/
may not be equal but some animals
are definitely more equal than
Nigerians. Most Nigerians will never
get a chance to look through the
windows of Aso Villa, so there will
never be a thing about seeing the
animals, men and women dine on the
same table, let alone see them share a
semblance.
While you may never have earned
N14.5 million your whole life, two
animals will be bought for the
entertainment of our President and his
friends. The job of a president is a
tough one and we must understand
that. Marie Francoise Marie-Nelly,
World Bank Country Director for
Nigeria, said that 100 million Nigerians
are living in extreme poverty
conditions. The Federal Government
has understandably faulted that claim.
To emphasise the fact that it does not
believe such claims, the government
rather than look to unburden these
Nigerians from the weight of poverty,
has instead dedicated more money
towards the continued beautification of
the seat of power. You cannot say Aso
Rock does not need beautifying. How
many Nigerians even know what Aso
Rock looks like so how will they even
know if the President even lives in a
poor environment? To ensure that is
not ever the case under this
administration, N1.5 billion will be
used to upgrade the facilities at Aso
Rock villa this year. If you don’t know
what Aso Rock looks like, you at least
know what N1.5 billion sounds like
and if that is what will be used to
upgrade Aso Rock this year, you must
begin to have an understanding of the
worth and look of Aso Rock itself.
If the cost of upgrading the facilities
gets you remembering the fact that
your next house rent is due soon
enough, I believe knowing that N8
million will be used to upgrade the zoo
at the Villa will get you upbeat about
the fact that, if these animals can have
their zoo upgraded with N8 million this
year, maybe you will one day at least
find that amount of money to build your
own house. You probably don’t have a
car yet or your car is as tattered as
the cars of most of the people in
government before they got
government appointments, don’t be
sad about that. N25 million has been
dedicated to track the cars in the
Presidential fleet. Who wants to go and
steal cars in Nigeria’s most guarded
Villa? There is a new jet on the way,
which will bring the Presidency’s fleet
to 11 jets. At that number, if the
Federal Government decides to float
an airline with those aircraft, they’d
immediately be the second biggest
airline in Nigeria. Who says we can’t
rent jets to African Presidents like
Malawi’s Joyce Banda who sold the
country’s only presidential jet and
about 60 cars? You cannot blame
President Joyce Banda for caring
about her country’s poor citizens. You
cannot exactly say our President does
not care either. For instance, the 2014
budget dedicates N76.3 million to the
purchase of crested cutlery, flatware
and glassware. Whoever says we are
no longer the giant of Africa has not
been reading up on our 2014 budget.
I will confess to you right away; it was
depressing enough to see some line
items in the budget, it is even more
depressing to remember them all over
again just to write this piece. In case
your children are wondering whether
they will ever see typewriters again,
please let them know the Interior
Ministry intends to spend N3million on
the purchase of typewriters. You would
have to agree computers are too
mainstream for these ones but do
computers even cost up to N3 million?
Na wa o. The Ministry of Information
will spend N300 million to wash the
government’s image in the foreign
media during the year. This particular
line certainly makes sense considering
how much washing the image of our
government constantly needs.
Something dirty is always going on
and the washing needs to meet the
rate of the dirtying.
The Attorney General of the Federation
and Minister of Justice, Mohammed
Adokie, is not left out of the budget
bazaar. His ministry will spend
N181.3m on uniforms in 2014. You’d
have to expect those uniforms to come
with gold, diamond and Emerald studs.
N1.8 billion was earmarked to connect
Bayelsa State to the national grid but
alas! Bayelsa was already connected
to the national grid almost a decade
ago. This N1.8 billion if passed, will
not be misappropriated, it will be
swallowed altogether. You cannot say
all of these absurdities are not in line
with the transformation agenda that has
since emphasized the government’s
commitment to the promotion of
impunity and unheralded corruption.
Stella Oduah’s Aviation Ministry
expects to spend N208 million to plant
flowers and trees in the country’s five
major airports. This is marginally less
than N255 million for two BMW cars
so you cannot say things have not
improved. They have improved from
cars to trees.
So then what will Nigerians do? These
are just a few of the absurdities in
what has to be the country’s worst
budget in decades. Recurrent
expenditure has increased, capital
expenditure has reduced. Virtually
every dime allocated to the former will
get spent, this administration has
never reached 40 per cent
performance level for capital
expenditure since coming on board.
The lawmakers will sit over this budget
proposal and you would expect them to
do the right thing; remove the weeds
from this budget. That’d of course
mean reducing the National
Assembly’s N150 billion allocation.
N469 citizens of the National Assembly
get to have a bigger budget than 23
Nigerian states of about 120 million
Nigerians. If any political party that
means well and wants change has any
form of representation in our National
Assembly, now will be the time to take
a stand for the Nigerian people. If they
pass the 2014 budget, as dysfunctional
and as anti-ordinary Nigerians as it is,
we can safely say, whatever political
party we vote for, of the current parties
represented in the National Assembly,
it will still be the same faecal
composition of just another bull. Let’s
admit it; we the common people of
Nigeria need help! These folk are
more equal than us.

Politics › FRSC Decries Attitude Of Police Convoys On Road by santakris(op): 9:10am On Jan 07, 2014
The Federal Road Safety Commission
(FRSC) on Monday decried the chaotic
traffic situation created on most roads
by the vehicles escorting politicians
and money-bags.
The FRSC Unit Commander in
Onitsha, Mr Anthony Metta, made this
known in an interview with the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Onitsha,
Anambra.
Metta noted that the attitude the police
in such convoys posed the greatest
challenge to the work of the
commission in Onitsha and its
environs.
“Yes, we have challenges, and I would
tell you one of the biggest challenges
is at times politicians and money-bags;
they come in convoys, six, seven,
eight, nine, 10 vehicles.
“You see, the operatives from our
sister agency, the police will bring out
their guns pointing it at you, chasing
you off the way.
“And the traffic that we had been
controlling, they would spoil
everything.
“But we are not complaining, only that
the society and the press should see
this and speak out. People should
know about it.
“All those people on the road, who are
waiting patiently, following rules and
regulations, are they not human
beings?
“ Why are the police in convoys of
politicians and money bags more
important than other Nigerians?
“So, that is our observation, it is a
very serious challenge.

How do I know if I have a bad
crank position sensor?
You will know that you have a bad
crank position sensor by how your
engine idles, how your pistons fire, or
how you accelerate. It will usually be
more noticeable as you raise the
RPM's. With a bad or faulty sensor,
you engine may misfire causing motor
vibration or backfires. You may also
experience hesitation while
accelerating or shaking during engine
idle. In the worst case scenario, you
won't be able to start your car.
