Good day to all NL's Had a debate with my friend today as to who is supposed to be summoned by the legislators in respect to fuel scarcity.

Secondly, what's the difference between a petroleum minister and minister of state?? Sure answers please, I personally think this should be educating.

It Is Obvious You Didn't Have Any Debate With Anybody, You Just Want To Waste Folks' Data. Your Intention Is Known And Your Incinuation Is Glaring.

tonytony208:
You won't spend in secret.

You will only print in secret.

You will also not release all into circulation once. The disbursement will be gradual and stealthy.

I don't think governments make public that it want to print money. The problem of printing more money is in what it is to be used for. If a government printed more money to pay for recurrent expenditures, this would definitely hurt the economy in a longrun.

onosprince:
If na so he dey be, Greece for don print take pay their debt

Greece can't print to pay its debt because it has lost such economic tool when it decided to join the European Union (EU)....

mazeltov:
A dwindling economy is different from scarcity of money. They are two different things which requires different approah.
So which one do you want to solve.?
The man has given you the best and the most suitable answer, simply INFLATION . In fact, the little money you have in your bank account is still relevant and useful till today because we are able to keep inflattion down at the lowest possible rate but I won't tell you the effect if inflation it is high and galloping.

You mean America printed more money? Lolzz. It's fat lie. An economic giant like America can never try that. It defies the rules of economics. You don't print more money to solve the problem of scarcity of money.
You don't add salt to a food that is already salty

I don't think there is a difference between 'dwindling economy' and Money Scarcity; one leads to the other. Moreover, 'moderate' inflation has been reported to had helped some economies such Brazil even Argentina. Inflation as argued by Greg Mankiw should not be seen as a plague. I believe financing infrastructural deficit by injecting more money into an economy through printing of more notes to pay for it might help in our situation. Printing more money, moderately though, could be used t engender more investment and help to re-ignite the pistol of our economy.

As the Nigerian financial system continues to
grapple with the rising cases of frauds and
forgeries and the attendant threats to banking
operations, the Nigerian Deposit Insurance
Corporation (NDIC) has disclosed that 64 per cent
of such fraudulent activities were traced to
temporary staff member of banks in 2014.
The shocking revelation which promises to elicit
reactions of Nigeria’s labour unions was made by
the Managing Director/Chief Executive, Nigerian
Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), Alhaji
Umaru Ibrahim, in Ilorin last week.
Speaking at the just concluded seminar for
business editors and financial journalists, the
NDIC helmsman regretted that in spite of the
modest improvement recorded in the adoption of
electronic payment system in recent times, it is
worrisome that the banking system had
continued to record very high incidences of fraud
and forgeries in recent years. And according to
him, a category of workers in the bank including
temporary or contract staff perpetuated 64 per
cent of such heinous crimes.
To underscore the seriousness of the situation,
Ibrahim disclosed that “A total of 10,612 of such
cases were reported in 2014 as against 3,786
cases in 2013, which showed an increase of 183
per cent. The amount involved in 2013 was
N21.80 billion as against N25.61 billion in 2014,
which was a 17.5 per cent increase with expected/
actual loss increase from N5.76 billion in 2013 to
N6.19 billion in 2014.”
Ibrahim explained that the types and nature of
frauds and forgeries were largely web-based
(online banking)/ATM card related, fraudulent
transfer/withdrawal of deposit frauds and
suppression of customer deposits among others.
He added, “It was also discovered that temporary
staff, clerks and tellers accounted for 64 per cent
of the frauds and forgeries in 2014, which
required urgent attention to improve the
electronic payment controls, IT Security, human
capital and integrity profiling as well as motivation
of staff.”
He pointed out that Section 35 and 36 of the NDIC
Act, 2006 had mandated all deposit-taking
financial institutions to send returns on frauds,
forgeries and other financial malpractices to the
corporation on monthly basis.
According to the NDIC boss, banks are also
expected to notify the corporation on any
member of staff that has been dismissed or have
their appointments terminated or advised to
retire on grounds of financial infractions.
Ibrahim, however, said the corporation, in
collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria,
had embarked on various public awareness
initiatives with a view to drastically reducing the
percentage of Nigerians who have no access to
any form of financial services from 39 per cent to
20 per cent by 2020.
Corroborating the NDIC’s claims, an official of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Shazali, noted that Nigerian
banks, like their global counterparts, experience
more external than internal fraud.

The news that charges have been filed against the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal was received by many with a shock. The expectation, however, was that the accused would be in haste to clear his name, as honourable men would want to. On the contrary, Dr. Saraki filed an application before the Federal High Court seeking to stop the scheduled trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. The application was granted ex-parte. The ex-parte application and its grant represent the two of the most frustrating avenues through which justice is frustrated and judicial process abused in our country’s courts of ‘justice’. The fact that the number three man in our political hierarchy is the perpetrator in this case is profoundly disappointing. More importantly, however, is the fact that the grant of the application was in manifest error of trite law such that keen watchers may be pardoned for suspecting that something underhand was involved in the entire process. In the first place, no court of law has the powers to interfere with, or in any way restrain the exercise of the judicial powers of another court of co-ordinate jurisdiction. This is trite and well established in accordance with the principles of the doctrine of judicial precedent. In this case, the Federal High Court and the Code of Conduct Tribunal are courts of co- ordinate jurisdiction: appeals from the decisions of the Code of Conduct Tribunal lie to the Court of Appeal (s.23 (4) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act) and appeals from the decisions of a Federal high Court lie to the court of Appeal (s. 243, Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999). In the second place, an injunction restraining the Code of Conduct Bureau is misdirected and therefore, futile. The Code of Conduct Bureau is not a prosecuting authority; under section 3 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, it is merely an administrative and investigative authority and its role in the prosecution of defaulters under the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act is limited to recommending persons for prosecution. The prosecuting authority in respect of offences under the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act is the Office of the Attorney General. Thus section 24 (3) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act provides the Attorney General or any one nominated by him may bring charges in respect of offences under the Act. In the third place, it is incorrect for Dr. Saraki to hinge the basis of his ex parte application on the fact that there is no incumbent Attorney General capable of instituting actions against him or any criminal action whatsoever. This line of legal reasoning, once regularly cited, has since been discredited by the Supreme Court in a number of cases and, most recently, in the case of Federal Republic of Nigeria v. Senator Adewunmi where the Supreme Court, per Umaru Altu Kalgo, JSC said “There is no doubt at all that the power to institute criminal proceedings against any person in the 1999 Constitution lies on the Attorney- General of the State or the Federation as the case may be, but such power may be exercised by the Attorney-General himself or through any officers of his department. See Sections 174 and 211 of the 1999 Constitution. These sections though very similar in content do not require that the officers can only exercise the power to institute criminal proceedings if the Attorney General expressly donated his power to them. The provisions of the sections presume that any officer in any department of the Attorney General’s office is empowered to initiate criminal proceedings unless it is proved otherwise”. Furthermore, section 25(3) provides that the question whether any authority has been given in pursuance of this section requiring the Attorney General to donate his prosecutorial powers under the Act, “shall not be inquired into by any person”. The decent course for an accused, if he has concerns, is to raise preliminary objection(s) before the tribunal where he has been charged. Dr. Saraki is advised to so do if he is to remain qualified to remain as the number one lawmaker in this country. On September 18, 2015, following Dr. Bukola Saraki’s failure to appear before the Code of Conduct Tribunal as charged, the Tribunal, on the application of the prosecutor, issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Dr. Bukola Saraki. This power is inherent in any tribunal having the full powers of a court of law, such as the Code of Conduct Tribunal. Furthermore, sections 2 and 14 of the 3rd Schedule to the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act empower the tribunal to compel the attendance of accused persons and witnesses. Under section 23 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, if found guilty, the tribunal is empowered to impose any of the following punishments: (a) Vacation of office or any elective or nominated office, as the case may be; (b) Disqualification from holding any public office (whether elective or not) for a period not exceeding ten years; and (c) Seizure and forfeiture to the State of any property acquired in abuse or corruption of office. Furthermore, trial or conviction under the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act does not preclude a separate trial under any other applicable criminal law (Section 24 Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act).

ABC: Bush Charged $100,000 to Vets
Charity
Former President George W. Bush
charged $100,000 to speak at a
charity fundraiser for U.S. military
veterans severely wounded in Iraq
and Afghanistan, and former First
Lady Laura Bush collected $50,000
to appear a year earlier, officials of
the Texas-based Helping a Hero
charity confirmed to ABC News.
And...
The former President was also
provided with a private jet to travel
to Houston at a cost of $20,000, the
officials said.
One of the wounded vets who
served on the charity’s board told
ABC News he was outraged that his
former commander in chief would
charge any fee to speak on behalf of
men and women he ordered into
harm's way.
I thought we were done adding to the list
of despicable things George W. Bush has
done, but the hits keep coming

summary

This summaries the article==>
"All said, the two dramatis personae [ Amaechi and Wike] seem
pitched against each other, with the
belief that in war, all is fair. But it is not true because if it were so, there will be no phenomenon as ‘war crimes’.
It is hoped that after all these anti-
Amaechi shenanigans, the Wike
administration will settle down to the
real business of governance, because that is what will be meaningful to the ordinary Rivers man or woman or child."

Thisday: Wike’s Warped War in Rivers

Last Monday marked the first one month
in office of most of the elected persons
during the last general elections. Most of
the governors, celebrated their first thirty
days in office. Governor Nyesom Wike of
Rivers State is among them. In 30 days, so
much has happened in Rivers State, most
of which were expected, given the
character of the activities that preceded
the elections.
Background
Once upon a time, two young men:
Nyesom Wike and Rotimi Amaechi were
friends. They were both typical Port
Harcourt boys. The latter was an early
starter in politics. He soon got into the
orbit of the state’s politics. And with a firm
footing, being a clever player, he pulled
the former into the political circle in the
state. Then, the going was good. Amaechi
rose to become the Speaker of the House
of the Rivers State House of Assembly
from where he supported Wike to become
local Government Chairman of Obi Akpor
LGA in the state.
Then Amaechi in 2007 wanted to be
governor after his eight years as Speaker.
He had a large following comprising Wike
and many others. Some higher powers did
not want Amaechi, so they thwarted his
ambition. But he won’t give up. He
protested legally by seeking the court’s
intervention in his governorship bid. And
that provoked some kind of war in the
state.
Amaechi had to “dodge” from the scene
and temporarily relocated to Ghana from
where the war continued. Wike became
the avante guard of the war, being on
ground. He recently described himself as
the power house of the Amaechi political
front. At the end of the day, the Supreme
Court ruled in Amaechi’s favour and the
latter re-appeared on the scene and was
crowned as the state’s governor.
In recompense for the roles he played,
Amaechi appointed Wike his Chief of Staff.
Somewhere along the line, the duo began
to beat discordant tunes and it was
seeming that there were two captains in
the boat. Between them, the centre was
no longer holding, and things began to pull
apart. That was towards the end of
Amaechi’s first term as governor. In order
to manage the touchy emotions of both
men, Amaechi may have reasoned that his
administration will know greater peace if
Nyesom Wike is sent to Abuja. So he
nominated him as a minster to the former
President Goodluck Jonathan
administration. So Wike became a
minister in Jonathan’s administration.
That act widened the gulf between
Amaechi and Wike, two Ikwerre brothers
(?). Wike soon aligned with Jonathan and
his wife in the dog fight against Amaechi.
In no time, Wike became the foot soldier
of the Jonathans, what with the plots and
intrigues to pull Amaechi down. With so
much federal might (resources, structure
et al) at his disposal, Wike became the
proxy Goliath in the Amaechi-Jonathan
discord.
So much was done to wreck the Amaechi
government. But the latter survived them
all. And that eventually defined Amaechi’s
political alignment, when he eventually
dumped the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) for the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
The Battle that followed
The dumping of PDP only worsened the
offensives against Amaechi. The federal
might including the police (remember
Joseph Mbu et al?) were unleashed on
Amaechi. But he managed to survive.
Wike then launched his Grassroots
Democratic Initiative (GDI), the platform
through which he ran a slalom race into
the political contest for the governorship
of Rivers State. Well funded and oiled with
federal “grease” the GDI became a
formidable machine to browbeat every
other contender, believing that the
structure will also deliver the presidency
to former President Jonathan.
Wike later emerged as the PDP
gubernatorial candidate of the party in the
state, despite the ruckus protest of his
fellow contestants that he (Wike) broke all
the rules, breached all the codes to
emerge as the PDP candidate. The
protesters were later “settled”, and they
have kept their cool ever since.
The Election in Rivers
Much before the elections took place,
Rivers State had been sited severally as a
flash point. What happened during the
polls did not disappoint that rating. Rivers
was verily a hotbed. It was a battle ground
for many reasons. Then Governor
Amaechi wanted to prove he was in
control of the political dynamics of Rivers.
But Wike, Felix Obuah and co were also
desperate to prove that Rivers is a PDP
state and would always vote PDP anyday.
The narrative of Amaechi being a bad
brother was hyped. He was seen as a
rebel, one who was siding with a
“stranger” (Muhammadu Buhari) against
his “brother” (Jonathan) in a political
national war; conveniently forgetting that
the same so-called “brother” had denied
him (Amaechi) the rightful headship of the
Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), and
supported a “stranger” (former Governor
David Jang) who did not even win the
contest to emerge as a factional Chairman
of the NGF.
The battle line was then markedly drawn.
State infrastructure including the Police
and soldiers were unleashed on Rivers
State. Political thugs were simply lionized.
Violence including reckless killings and
brazen electoral violations characterized
the elections in Rivers, so much that
election monitors –foreign and local
disapproved of the conduct of the
elections in Rivers, what with many
deaths, thumb printing in police stations,
burning of electoral materials and houses
of targeted politicians, including the
snatching of electoral materials. Even
journalists who wanted to do more than
the conventional election coverage got
bloody noses. The larger majority of
Rivers people saw all the electoral
malfeasance but cared less, as long as it
helped to “shame” Amaechi who thought
he could deliver Rivers to his preferred
“stranger”.
It is remarkable to note that all these took
place under the supervisory and
acquiesced watch of the state’s Resident
Electoral Commission (REC), Mrs. Gesila
Khan, a lady who hails from Bayelsa State
like Jonathan.
The actions were simply powered by the
Machiavellian maxim that the end justifies
the means.
At the end of the election, PDP was
declared winner in both the presidential
and governorship election in the state to
the pain and chagrin of the APC. It is
remarkable that if Jonathan’s PDP won the
presidential election, Amaechi would have
been reduced to a political mince meat.
But Buhari’s victory stopped the crush.
Election Tribunal
As is usual, those not satisfied with the
outcome of any election are advised to
take their case to the election tribunal
instead of taking the laws into their hands
to seek redress. So, the APC took the
matter to the election tribunal,
determined to prove that the election in
the state breached almost all the laws of
electoral contest.. Even that became a
problem. The INEC in the state tried to
frustrate the process.
The PDP in the state had gone to court,
surprisingly, to challenge APC’s decision to
seek redress in the tribunal. It was rather
shocking as it amounted to beating a child
and forbidding the child from crying. The
court, understandably, struck out the
request of the PDP in the state.
Perhaps fearing that the tribunal may not
be freely allowed to sit and examine the
case in Rivers without threats and
intimidation, the election tribunal
relocated to Abuja, largely seen as a
neutral ground. The same reasoning
applied to the case in Akwa-Ibom and
Taraba States.
The case is presently running with the
examination and argument of preliminary
issues.
Wike as Governor
Some people had feared that Wike may
not be inaugurated as governor following
the absence of a Chief Judge in the state,
as a result of the nearly one-year closure
of the Courts in Rivers. But a way was
found around it. The chief judge of
neighbouring Bayelsa State was drafted in
to swear in Wike.
That again offered its own challenge. The
National Judicial Commission (NJC) had
objected to the nomination of a CJ by
former Governor Amaechi. While Amaechi
nominated Justice Peter Ogumagu, the
NJC nominated Justice Daisy Okocha. The
law requires the governor to recommend
a candidate while the NJC ratifies. Not the
other way round. But even after a High
court ruled in March last year, against the
NJC that it had no power to overrule the
nomination of the governor, it yet went
ahead to reject Agumagu, even after he
had been duly cleared by the state’s
House of Assembly and sworn-in by the
governor. And it soon became an ego war
and that caused the stalemate that led to
the shutting of the courts.
So, Wike on his inaugural speech, named
Okocha, believed to be his close ally, as
the new CJ of the state, without recourse
to the NJC as required by the law. And till
now, we have heard no objection from
NJC ,indicating that the body actually got
partisan, under the Jonathan
administration which had a philistinic
effect on most state institutions.
By Wike’s declaration, the courts were
declared open and the people hailed him.
At that, he began a series of actions to
black-veil the Amaechi years and legacies
in the state.
He started with the alarm that Amaechi
looted the Government House. So
laughable was the accusation as Gov
Amaechi was said to have looted virtually
everything in the Government House
including furniture, governor’s insignia, TV
sets, mattresses, pillows, trash cans, and
wait-for-it, doors!!! Doors? Yes, doors! That
Amaechi was so rougish that he even
pulled out the doors of most rooms in the
government House.
The fact that the photograph showing the
way the former governor left the Brick
House was shown did little to silence
Wike’s noise of the ‘massive theft’.
Next, an 8-man committee was set up by
Gov Wike to compile the names of the
non-indigenes in the state’s civil service as
well as business outfits in the state, for
eventual crack down. This is because the
non-indigenes are accused of having
supported former Governor Amaechi in
voting Jonathan out. So they must be
punished. The phase one of the crack
down, according to the “Endangered Non-
Indigenes Forum”, in a petition to
President Buhari calling for his
intervention, will start July 15 with the
sack of the non indigenous civil servants in
the state.
But before that starts, Wike had ordered
the sack of 344 staff members of Rivers
State Polytechnic. Barely two weeks after
he was inaugurated.
This was followed with the recovery of
allegedly stolen government vehicles from
former commissioners who served in the
Amaechi administration. It was fierce.
Desperate to demonise all that concerned
Amaechi, the Wike “taskforce” on the
recovery of government property was said
to have broken into the private residence
of the former Information commissioner,
Mrs Ibim Seminitari, and used a forklift to
remove a Lexus SUV which Seminitari said
was her status car validly and officially
allocated to her, as the practice is. In the
process of forceful removal of the car,
Seminitari’s husband’s private car, a Range
Rover was badly damaged. She said
nobody ever informed her that her
ownership of the car had been revoked
nor was she ever asked to return the car.
“They just broke in and removed the car”,
she lamented.
It is remarkable that at his exit as Chief of
Staff, not only did Wike leave with his
status car, he was said to have left with
other government cars, even as he did
same when he recently resigned as the
Minister of State for Education. One of the
Federal Government cars he left with, is
now being used by a chieftain of the PDP
in the state.
Next was the probe of former Governor
Amaechi. This hardly came as a surprise.
However, if indeed, the sitting governor
feels lost on what transpired in the state,
and there is no explanation about it,
especially as the Amaechi administration
did not co-operate with the transition
committee, a probe could be called. No
question. But the way Gov Wike has gone
about it, with so much bile and bitterness,
betrays the fact that he is merely going to
use the so-called probe panel to work
from the answer to the question.
Amaechi’s government is accused of
selling off several assets of the state
without a trace of the proceeds. In other
words, the probe might be a short cut to
arriving at a pre-determined goal of
tarring the image of Amaechi, with the
ultimate intent of presenting him
unappointable by Buhari.
If the morning tells the day, the signs of
things to come are already getting clear. In
30 days, Governor Wike has approached
his state’s assembly three times for the
request for bank loans totaling N30 billion!
Yes, N30 billion! In one month.
Wike may appear to have won the battle,
but whether he will win the war is not
certain.
All said, the two dramatis personae seem
pitched against each other, with the belief
that in war, all is fair. But it is not true
because if it were so, there will be no
phenomenon as ‘war crimes’.
It is hoped that after all these anti-
Amaechi shenanigans, the Wike
administration will settle down to the real
business of governance, because that is
what will be meaningful to the ordinary
Rivers man or woman or child.
Surely, for some time to come, the
scenario in Rivers State will feed the
political space with refreshing episodes of
crooked power play. www.thisdaylive.com/articles/wike-s-warped-war-in-rivers/213793/

The Buhari Government just announced recently that they discovered a 7 trillion naira deficit from Jonathans' administration. While some re saying its same as debt, others are saying it's different.

Is there any difference?

I don't know where you get your story from, what I read says 7 Trillion 'debt'. I have a feeling that your intent to twist fact and generate senseless argument from folks who have political leaning and might react without sourcing for fact.

Its just a waste of time. It's the turn of the Republican party to produce the next US President

Says who? Who is that contender from the Republicans? Donald Trump?

Asking for a raise at work is probably one
of the most difficult decisions you will
have to make in your career. It is even
much more difficult if you and your boss
are not best buddies or if your company
has instituted several protocols that you
have to go through to make this possible.
In any case, these shouldn’t stop you
from demanding an increase if you feel
you are worth it.
You should also understand that your
boss will probably not increase your
salary simply because you demanded it.
Therefore, it is very important that you
consider these steps if you want to ask
your boss for a raise he will never refuse.

1. Gather a stockpile of leverage
First of all, before you start making
demands, you need to consider your
worth objectively. You want to take into
account your job responsibilities
including leadership tasks, your level of
education, years of experience and
training, and your track record of
achievements. These are the
ammunitions you will need.
Your boss will never give you a raise
simply because you have worked longer
than everybody else. Also note that the
standard response you will get is that the
company does not have enough in its
budget to support your raise. When
asking your boss for a raise, you will need
to assess your worth to be able to
convince your boss to see your point.

2. Seek relevant information
Secondly, try to gather useful
information. You want to know if the
company’s budget can actually support
your demand, who has the power to
make your wish come true, if there’s a
performance review in place, if the salary
increase is by rank or by fixed schedule,
and what others in similar positions in
the industry are earning.
The last thing you want to do is ask your
boss for a raise when the company is
posting losses or going over your boss’
head to ask his/her superiors for salary
increase. Both doesn’t usually turn out
well.

3. Build your case & negotiate
The ammunitions we talked about earlier:
your accomplishments, the initiative you
took that led to the success of that deal,
etc. Now is the time to put them to use.
Don’t go around saying things like, “I need
the money and you know I deserve it
because I have worked for X number of
years”. That is weakness and it doesn’t
really help anyone.
You will need some good negotiation
skills. If your boss is not budging on the
salary, tell him/her you will consider non-
monetary benefits e.g. an official car,
wardrobe allowance, rental assistance, or
a better job title. Do not be greedy, be
reasonable in your demands & don’t
threaten to quit if your demands are not
met, you are not indispensable—unless
you really are.

4. Don’t take rejection personally
There is a fairly good chance you will get
turned down when asking your boss for a
raise, but that should not stop you from
making your demands. If this happens,
don’t develop a negative attitude towards
your boss or your work. Continue to keep
improving yourself and if you really have
to move on to a better job, don’t burn
bridges. Keep the relationship with your
boss cordial. It has far reaching
advantages than burning bridges.
You agree this is an awesome post right?

should also see this? Just hit the share

2016 Democratic presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton makes official campaign
announcement in 'the first big event of her
campaign' in New York
Hillary Clinton has launched the first major
rally of her campaign as a presidential
candidate on a sunny Saturday afternoon
on New York's Roosevelt Island .
Almost seven years to the day since Mrs
Clinton conceded defeat to Barack Obama
in 2008, she addressed supporters as the
overwhelming favourite to be the
Democratic candidate for president in
2016.
Her husband Bill and daughter Chelsea
were due to join her onstage for the first
time in this campaign.
The choice of Roosevelt Island appeared
deliberate - a thin strip of land named after
one of the most important Democratic
presidents of the 20th century.
But while she holds vast leads over her
three Democratic challengers, Mrs Clinton's
campaign has been anxious to dampen any
talk of an easy win and discourage
complacency among her voters.
Robby Mook, Mrs Clinton's data-driven
campaign manager, sent an email to
supporters warning "there will be no
landslides or blowouts" in either of the key
early voting states of New Hampshire or
Iowa.
"A win is a win and we will fight hard to have it"

Bros, this is politics. The SE will be the beneficiary on the long run. Should Kwankwaso/Igbo VP rule for 8 years, the next will be a SE Presidential candidate and a NC VP. The NW won't have the moral right to complain. The APC will most likely Present a SW Presidential candidate. It will be a straight fight between the Pdp(se/ss) and APC sw politically! The NC,NE and NW will definitely be shared(the ratio depends on whoever APC present as VP and performance of Kwankwaso). With the bloc SS/SE votes for the PDP, the coast look clear. In life you plan ahead bro. Think.. Think....

. Rubbish!... I keep wondering, each time I read you, how you think. You read too many conspiracy novels/books, it thus tell when you write or comment. Even the silly projection you make shows your shallowness. Terrible!

Folks from SouthEast always talking about been marginalized as if they never had any representatives at the centre who represent them. In the Obasanjo administration, the number 3 position in the country was zoned to the region coupled with other posts, what did their leaders of the time do to better their lots? Aldofore Wabara, Ken Nnamani, Chuba Okadigbo, Pius Anyim and others went to the centre for their own pockets; how is that the fault of other regions? Yaradua regime had couple of them again at the centre, what happened? Same story, worked for themselves and their pockets. This last regime even gave the region more controlling power, but the leaders again only thought of their pockets. There've always been Five governors every four years from the region since inception of this democracy, were they doing the right thing for their lamenting people? Pls let stop whipping up the ethnic sentiment and playing the marginalization card because nobody will listen. The days of playing victim in the entity call Nigeria is over, we all must at every point in time question our Leaders. There shouldn't be unreasonable reason(s) not to perform. If the people of South East feel shortchanged in Nigeria, they should ask their leader questions; sentiment should be bury for the good of all. SouthEast ought to have been more than what it is now in terms of development. Let start asking the right question(s).

No fewer than six countries have already refused to grant an asylum request by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, the Business Council for Africa (BCA) said in its just-released monthly report, noting that about US$ 1 trillion is the latest estimated figure of the looting of the Nigerian treasury between 1960 and 2005 alone.

The report, dated March 2015, focused extensively on Nigeria’s general elections. It said the notorious Minister, whose impunity is known to have been closely-protected by President Goodluck Jonathan, will be coming under the microscope for the first time in her Ministerial career.

“Given her reputation, it comes as no surprise to learn that 6 countries have already refused to grant her asylum to live in their countries as she now wishes to leave Nigeria at the earliest possible opportunity,” it said.

BCA recalled President-elect Muhammadu Buhari lamenting that the rest of the world looks at Nigeria as the home of corruption, one where stealing is not corruption but a way of life, and that his administration will pursue all public offices and individuals who are believed to be guilty of corruption.

It observed that despite an earlier promise, it is now understood that Buhari’s anti-corruption fishing net will include Ministers currently serving under President Goodluck Jonathan. Alison-Madueke’s departure from Nigeria is likely to be followed by several other PDP elders, party members and supporters as well as some former Government officials, as Buhari's anti-corruption drive will be far-reaching.

“It will be very interesting to learn in the coming months exactly how far back in Nigeria's history his administration will go in the pursuance of those who have robbed Nigeria of US$ 1 trillion, which is the latest estimated figure of theft from the Nigerian treasury between the period 1960-2005. Given that President Jonathan's administration is considered the most corrupt of any of its predecessors, that figure is going to be considerably magnified, but whether the new President will wish to pursue former Heads of State is a matter of interest and considerable debate to Nigerian observers. It is this subject that is primarily responsible for Buhari's success in winning the election as well as his campaign promises to eradicate Boko Haram, revive the economy and rebuild Nigeria to make its position as the number one country in Africa.

While BCA agreed that the March/April 2015 were “the most credible elections in Nigeria's history”, it said they could not be called the most incorruptible.

On the contrary, it referred to them as the worst because of the amount of money that the PDP so freely and openly spent on trying to secure the re-election of Mr. Jonathan.

“The stories and reports from throughout the 36 States of the amount of money distributed by the PDP to elders, rulers, church leaders, unions and youth leaders amongst others in an endeavour to favour the voters towards the PDP has backfired badly,” the report said.

BCA said that if the 2011 elections were considered bad, the 2015 elections will undoubtedly go down as the most corrupt in Nigeria's history, certainly since 1999, as the amount of money being distributed as bribes primarily by the PDP so very openly would readily confirm.

It reported that since November when campaigning began, President Jonathan and General Buhari during their travels made no fewer than 109 promises of what they intend to achieve if given the mandate in the presidential election.

“President Jonathan's campaign continued to hinge on his party's Transformation Agenda and the achievements of his Government in the last 4 years, particularly in the agricultural sector, job creation and the empowerment of women,” the report said. In that regard, it credited Jonathan as having achieved a great deal during his tenure.

It said it was however Jonathan’s failures - rampant corruption, insecurity, inability to eliminate the Boko Haram insurgency, failure in such sectors as the economy, and power in particular, and the overall feeling that he was ruled rather than led - that have cost him his re-election bid.

The report also stated that in the 2015 elections, up to 250 Nigerians lost their lives, describing that deplorable record as speaking volumes for the control achieved by the Police at the campaign rallies by the two main candidates.

It described the cost of the campaigns of the two main parties as “simply staggering”, noting that by the first week of March, Buhari had spent some N332.58 billion as compared to the expenditure of President Jonathan which amounted to N1.05 trillion.

“This is without taking into account the cost of other expenses for such items as campaign rallies, where the PDP has spent N1.06 billion against Muhammadu Buhari's APC's N595.08 million, and clearly demonstrates the desperate lengths that the PDP have gone to in order to try and secure the re-election of President Jonathan.”

Since Jonathan became president
Igbo south east has annually got
the the least project allocation in
the budget. While other regions
get as much as two hundred and
something billion naira Igbos are
yearly allocated seventy
something billion naira.None of
the top five highest public officer
in Nigeria is an Igbo man.
President, Vice President, Senate
President, Speaker of the House
of Representative and the Chief
Justice of Nigeria belong to other
tribes despite the fact that Igbos
are one of the three ethnic groups
in Nigeria. If that is a wicked
coincidence why is no Igbo man
qualified to head any of Nigeria
security agencies: the National
Security Adviser, Chief of Defence
Staff, Chief of Army Staff, Chief of
Air Staff, Chief of Navy Staff,
Director of DSS, and Inspector
General of Police? Jonathan hates
Igbos so much.Jonathan did
nothing while Boko Haram killed
more than 10 thousand and
displaced 100 of thousands of
Igbo men and women in the
North. For five years Jonathan
was unconcernedly presiding over
the shedding of blood of innocent
south easterners. Would he have
kept quiet if they were the blood
of his Ijaw kinsmen? Don’t forget
that it was him that hurriedly
pardoned the former governor of
Bayelsa of criminal convictions
simply because he is an Ijaw
man.Even in the way he is
campaigning he has not hidden
his utter disdain for Igbo. The
second Niger Bridge he is using to
deceive us is not captured in this
year’s budget. I have not seen
one reason why Jonathan
deserves a single vote of Igbo
nation. Where is the much talked
about railway of Jonathan in Igbo
land?
