You need to get busy and be more active at work other than looking out for the stuff meanrt for the "kids". At this age? or do you mean you are one of them? Anyway, it wont hurt you to know sha, that the short off mark is not officially out yet? so what?/

You need to be up to date boyfriend. So you are in the south wesrt Nigeria and you claim not to know what just happened a few miles away from your block. anyway, i work for a media outfit in Lagos so you wouldn't have to be a doubting thomas. ok? Settled? Now what's your comment on the treat or Threat as i prefer it, to National Fund?

Senators today commenced their five-day retreat in Port Harcourt, to deliberate on the 1999 Constitution and the 2008 budget. The retreat will also afford them the opportunity to meet with the Niger-Delta militants from Bayelsa, Delta and Akwa Ibom states.

Topics to be discussed at the retreat include "The Dynamics of Constitutional amendment in Nigeria, Appropriating for development, The Niger-Delta master plan and The role of the National Assembly in democratic governance.’.

Others are "Legislative and institutional framework for the fight against corruption: challenges and prospects, Corruption and the challenges of delivery of democratic dividends in Nigeria and Understanding the concept and application of the rule of law in the fight against corruption’’, among others.

Well, am just wondering what they intend to make out nof this, perhaps they should start by talking to the militants, or what do you think?

Contrary to popular opinion that the 2007 general elections failed to meet the minimum standards of democratic elections even in third world countries, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Maurice Iwu, has declared the poll as a resounding success. In the 104-page report on the conduct of the elections, INEC’s Chairman states that, “The successful conduct of the 2007 general elections remains an abiding tribute not only to the personnel of the Commission, but also to the resilience of the Nigerian society which proves itself very discerning at crucial junctures.”

It is, however, commendable that the Yar’Adua administration has begun to take steps to improve the electoral framework by constituting the Uwais committee. A comprehensive and transparent investigation also needs to be conducted into INEC’s finances. Those responsible for the shameful exercise should not be allowed to escape justice. And as the various election tribunals call for election re-runs, it is imperative to create a fresh and more credible system of electoral umpires that will inspire the confidence of all.

To put an end to the credibility crisis and ameliorate the damage so far inflicted on the system, the govt. should demonstrate the necessary political will to effect changes by appointing a new Chairman for the Commission immediately.
