PoliticsWhy I Banned Street Begging, Hawking -el -rufai by skak(op): 11:38am On Jul 13, 2015
•Beggars threaten to sue governor

Kaduna State Governor , Malam Nasir El -Rufai, yesterday said the recent ban on street begging and hawking was for the safety of beggars , hawkers and others following suicide attack that rocked Sabon Gari Local Government secretariat .

Addressing a press conference in Kaduna, the governor ’ s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Samuel Aruwan , explained that, the ban of hawking and begging was necessitated by security situation in the state and to ensure maximum protection of lives and property.

El - Rufai, who expressed sadness over the Sabon Gari attack, said he will never unleash pains on beggars and hawkers in the state , adding that government decision was not aimed or targeted at the vulnerable group but to protect citizens .

However , the beggars yesterday took their case to the Kaduna State Council secretariat of Nigeria Union of Journalist (NUJ). They said the governor ’ s ban is a gentle way of calling them terrorists hence the need to take legal action against the governor for defamation and to seek redress .

But the governor appealed to the people to see reason with the ban and cooperate with the government for the safety of citizens in the state .

According to him , “ Kaduna State Government ’ s decision to ban hawking and begging in the state followed last week’ s bomb attack that killed 26 innocent citizens and injured 32 persons. ”

The special assistant said “ the government is a responsible government and conscious of its constitutional role to protect citizens and to ensure law and order for common good. The state government will not fold its arms and allowed citizens to be killed via terror act and break down of law and order hence the decision ”

The beggars dared the governor saying they will remain on the streets , until the government gets them gainful employment.
They insist they have the constitutional right to stay wherever they wish to stay saying until their demands are met , the government should prepare their graves that they would fight the battle to the finish .

The beggars who thronged out in their numbers, both men and women, old and young , said they are giving the authorities three days to rescind its decision or risk been victims of spell they would profess against them.

PoliticsUnnoticed Facets Of Buhari's Administration - (good Or Bad?) by skak(op): 9:12pm On Jul 10, 2015
GOOD GOVERNANCE IS...

Without Power minister: - Electricity supply has greatly improved.

Without Petroleum minister: - refineries are almost fully revamped, to commence production within a
month.

Without Finance minister:
- External reserves increased by $3b in a month.
- Bailout to states to clear 8 months salary arrears.
- Closure of all secret govt accounts.
- Maintenance of a single Federation Account for
all FG revenues.

Without External Affairs minister:
- Secured multilateral cooperation of all neighbouring countries for a MJTF against Boko Haram.
- G7 cooperation and support in fight against insurgents.

Without Commerce & Trade minister: - Concluded package to revamp local industries.

On corruption:
- Ex-Governor Sule Lamido and two of his sons have just been sent to prison, at least till September when the full sentence will be pronounced, over the Alleged N1.35BN Fraud
- Just today, Ikedi Ohakim, former Imo State governor, was granted bail of N270 million in a N270 million fraud case which he is standing trial for.

In other words, return our money! Has this ever
happened before? All in barely a month! I'm delighted about the prospect, when PMB would have touched all sectors of our national life. We need more efforts in tackling Boko Haram though. That's my only misgiving thus far.

PoliticsTension In Military As Buhari Demands Records Of Weapons Procurement by skak(op): 9:53pm On Jul 04, 2015
There is palpable uncertainty in the Nigerian Army as President, Muhammadu Buhari, is said to have ordered the military chiefs to furnish him with documents detailing how monies released for arms procurement to fight Boko haram were spent.

The president, Abuja Metro authoritatively gathered was also said to have ordered the military hierarchy to make available the records of total amount of money it received from the federal government to curb the insurgents.

Top military sources that revealed this development hinted that these and many other decision were taken after the president met with the service chiefs comprising of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh, Chief Of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant-General Kenneth Minimah, Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Usman Jibrin, Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshall Adesola Amosu, and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase.

The source that does not want to be mentioned said the president may have taken the decision due to grumbling in the military by some personnel, who feel that their bosses and other of their colleagues occupying strategic appointments might have taken advantage of the operations counter terrorism to make huge money and deny the juniors fighting the war their basic benefits.

This they insist was not unconnected with the huge amounts released by the government, while others met their untimely death in the counter insurgency war.

The sources say many of their colleagues who are now six feet below, would not have died if those responsible for the disbursement of funds did so sincerely.

This is seen as being responsible for troops poor morale that makes them not give their best in confronting the terrorists.

The attitude is said to have discouraged most personnel and officers who do everything in their powers to avoid being posted to the north region Our sources said that shortly after President Buhari was declared winner of the presidential election, top serving and retired military officers began to bombard him with complaints of misappropriation of fund by the military authorities and taking advantage of the war to make huge monies.

The complainants went as far as revealing the names of some of the officers allegedly involved in the blood money, who no longer hide the money they make from the operation.

These senior officer from our findings had nothing before the commencement of the counter terrorism war, but have suddenly become millionaires overnight and have acquired choice properties in the Federal Capital Territory and drive the latest and expensive cars to the detriment of their colleagues.

According to the source, those that took part in the deal now run around to gather whatever they can get to make refunds before nemesis catches up with them.

The source said: “I can assure you that the president has given them a definite order to produce the records of how they spent the money allocated to them for the Boko Haram war, this in in terms of weapons purchase, kits, logistics and others.

We decided to reach the president on this because a lot of our officers and soldiers who were not supposed to have died lost their lives while most of those that were lucky to be alive are now deformed, while the big bosses, at the expense of the young soldiers enjoy their ill wealth.”

“Some of us who are aggrieved decided to use our means to reach the president and tell him how our big men looted the money meant for the war.

To buttress how bad the situation degenerated, he revealed that: “Most of our personnel have no bullet proof jackets, no uniforms, prompting the soldiers to wear all manner of shades of camouflage. They are poorly fed and most times denied payment of operation allowances.”

Rather than provide troops with the things meant for the operations, they claims to receive condemnation from their commanders instead, and so many have been prosecuted, thereby dampening their morale.

“Most of our bosses, see the operation as an avenue to make money and lobby to get posted to the region,” another source told Abuja Metro.

“Unlike in the past when soldiers lobbied to go for International Peace Keeping Operations, because of the foreign currency we made. But people don’t lobby to go for peace keeping again, what they do is lobby for counter terrorist war in the north east because the profit is very huge.

“I can tell you authoritatively that one of our officers that occupied a strategic position and got killed by Boko Haram had over N90m in his bank account in one of the new generational banks, and that was just after only about five months that he got posted there. They are many such officers we know.

“And that is why we are happy the president, who is also commander in chief has asked them to make the financial records of the operations available and not only that, they have been asked to refund whatever money that they did not spend.”

PoliticsMiyetti Allah Offers To Rear Mr President’s Cows For Free - Leadership by skak(op): 10:22am On Jun 28, 2015
The Nasarawa State secretary of Miyetti Allah, the umbrella body of nomadic Fulani cattle breeders, Alh Mohammed Husseini, has reacted magnanimously to
the recent publication in Sunday LEADERSHIP where President Muhammadu Buhari was photographed in
his country home farm in Daura, Katsina State. Speaking with LEADERSHIP Weekend in Lafia, Alh Husseini said he was offering voluntary services to help improve on the well-being of Mr President’s cows.

“As a Fulani cattle rearer and also a practising animal scientist with over two decades of working experience in management of cattle, I was disturbed by the way I saw Mr President’s cows in the picture and it was clear they are not doing well,” he said.

Husseini maintained that, “It is in this regard that I voluntarily decided to offer free animal care services to the emaciated cows of Mr President.”

The widely travelled Fulani community leader expressed the optimism that if given the right care, cows of whatever breed can do well in whatever geographical location.

“My hope is to see cows doing well irrespective of geographic location and I am certain that with proper
management that I stand to offer, the cows will do well not as they look in that
picture.”
