Politics / Candidates, Deputies To Square Up In Debates, Oct 22, 29, 31 by Stallion77(f): 10:49pm On Oct 10, 2013 |
The Nigerian Election Debates Group (NEDG) has concluded arrangements to stage issue- based debates for all the candidates that have been cleared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the November 16, 2013 election. Altogether, 23 governorship candidates and their running mates are expected to participate in the debates. Chairman of NEDG, Mr. Taiwo Alimi told reporters in Awka yesterday that 11 Non Governmental Organizations, NGOs, under NEDG, which include Broadcasting Organizations of Nigeria (BON), Nigeria Guild of Editors, Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Election Reform Network and Transition Monitoring Group (TMG) are involved in organizing the debates. According to Alimi, the debates, which will be in two sessions are scheduled for October 22, 2013 for the running mates, while the governorship candidates would have theirs on October 29 and 31. He said: “The coalition of media and civil society groups seek to set agenda and provide for the people of Anambra State an opportunity to get relevant information about each of the persons aspiring to rule them. What we are trying to do is to provide a platform at which everybody will have the opportunity of telling the people what they can do”. Alimi said that those who would take part in the final debate on 31st October would be determined by the outcome of opinion poll of the registered voters in Anambra State, as conducted by credible researchers He explained that as part of the debate, a non participating audience that would not clap or eulogize any of the candidates would be allowed into the hall, adding that the idea is to provide a level –playing field for all the candidates. He said that NEDG had successfully conducted similar debates in Edo and Ondo states and hoped that Anambra governorship candidates would participate effectively. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/10/candidates-deputies-square-debates-oct-22-29-31/ |

Politics / Public Relations Head Of Security Agencies In Nigeria: Who Is Your Best Pick? by Stallion77(f): 5:17pm On Oct 09, 2013 |
Nigerian Security Agencies have been faced with a host of security challenges which has brought their public relations officers to do the job they are being paid for because as Nigerians, we have a right to know ....however in the course of doing such, some have been exposed to ridicule, namecalling and tantrums as is expected on the job, BUT some of them dont even appear in the media to interface with the public or journalists and the few who have appeared have also paid the price as some clowns have called for their head. Some of these agencies dont even bother to send their public relations designate to the media..they simply ignore Nigerians cos they dont think we matter, talk more of the decency of entertaining questions of public significance. A few of those i know are listed below,i dont know them all so pls help me to add those you know and we can make a pick of our best....ofcourse wit good reasons why they are your best: NIGERIAN ARMY: Chris Olukolade; he seem like a gentleman,fluent and addresses military issues as they come however, of late i think he has been overtaken with events (i stand to be corrected). The Defence headquarters has taken over the media, and at a time, i think Sagir Musa of the JTF was even more popular than him. NIGERIAN NAVY: Lt. Cmdr. Jerry Omodara; Forgive me but as a matter of fact, i really dont know this man, i cant even find too many details about him online...and he is the Public affairs person? How many media appearance has he made or is there nothing to report of public importance in the Navy? NIGERIAN AIRFORCE:Air Commodore Yusuf Anas: I have nothing to say about this man media wise, he might be a fine officer on the job but he has no media presence as far as i am concerned. STATE SECURITY SERVICE: Marilyn Ogar; hmmn, permit me to be sentimental abit cos am a lady cos she represents an epitome of discipline and tenacity in her firm stance on issues as it relates to national security so she is my favorite pick any day ( U are entitled to yours o) NIGERIAN POLICE: Frank Mba; He appears like a young gentle man but i once heard his response on a radio programme when the presenter called him and since then i changed my opinion about him cos he was kinda rude on air. (The programme was brekete family radio show, for those of you in Abuja, u will be familiar with the 7:30am daily programme on 104.5) He represented the idea of a typical Nigerian policeman in the eyes of a typical Nigerian, (U know what i mean) NIGERIAN SECURITY AND CIVIL DEFENCE CORPS: Emmanuel Okeh; Hmmn, i barely know this one too but i believe from the last episode with their lagos commandant by Channels TV which sent the whole nation on a laughing spree, they have been working behind the curtains and keeping their interface with the public media on the minimal. NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY: Sorry i cant even find the person's name online just as we cant find their input in helping to resolve the nation's security challenges. DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY: sorry, same as the NIA above.... but if you have meaningful input about these, i will deeply appreciate ur contributions... Its obvious that some are working and we are working for some because they just sit and eat tax payers money....I have made my favourite pick...pick yours jare.. 8 Likes

Politics / Fg’s Plan To Unveil A New National Carrier On October 1 Under Attack by Stallion77(f): 3:04pm On Sep 30, 2013 |
The Federal Government plan to unveil a new national carrier on October 1 – in commemoration of the country’s 53th independence anniversary – is under attack from analysts. photo They say the development is a step back to the dark ages, in view of the current global sentiments towards divestments. The new airline would come out of the merger of Aero Contractors and Air Nigeria airlines, which are indebted to the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), according to BusinessDay findings. This is coming on the heels of refusal of some international airlines to partner with the local airlines due to the enduring crisis in the sector. Bismarck Rewane, chief executive, Financial Derivatives company in the recent release observed that the last national carrier – Nigeria Airways – was plagued by mismanagement and therefore ceased operations in 2003. “Back to the dark ages. Governments are divesting from airline business globally, but Nigeria is unveiling a national carrier officially to the public on October 1, which will comprise airlines indebted to the government via AMCON, Aero Contractors and Air Nigeria.” Reports say the new airline will be funded through a private sector public offering of about N200 billion with government retaining 25 percent stake, and remaining percent controlled by yet to be disclosed private investors. http:///?p=4669 |
Politics / Govs Babangida Aliyu, Ahmed In N81 Billion Naira Fraud…the Saraki Connection by Stallion77(f): 1:23pm On Sep 30, 2013 |
Two of the rebel Governors, Kwara’s helmsman, Abdulfattah Ahmed, and Niger States’ Babangida Aliyu, are alleged to be involved in some multi Billion naira deals running into over N81 billion. Pointblanknews.com gathered that While Ahmed is alleged to have used a Bureau de Change owned by his brother to move N60 Billion through about 40 bank accounts, Aliyu is yet to account for the N9 billion he got through the capital market and another N6 billion the state got from Zenith Bank for ‘infrastructural developments’ It was learnt that this is one of the reasons why the breakaway Governors had insisted the President asked the anti graft agency to back off them and their commissioners as part of the deal for peace. When the G7 Governors met with President Goodluck Jonathan, they raised four issues: That he should stop EFCC from” harassing” Governors and their aides, resolve the Nigeria Governors Forum(NGF) impasse, help return the structures of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Rivers and Adamawa structures to Governor Rotimi Amaechi and Murtala Nyako respectively, among other issues Some Governors especially Gov. Jonah Jang asked his colleagues not to drag Jonathan into the NGF issue. Jang insisted that Jigawa’s Sule Lamido and other Northern Governors asked him to contest the NGF election and that they all caused the fighting within the NGF. When the issue of the EFCC came up, sources privy to the goings on hinted that Akpabio asked the Governors to find individual ways of resolving any issue with the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC). He gave an example of how a petition against his sister had caused her to be stopped from entering Germany for medicals. He said when the German Government investigated the petition, they found it to be false and then gave his sister entry permit. EFCC Sources said the reason why the G7 Governors are afraid is because their immunity ends in 2015 and they want to be protected against any EFCC probes which is key to their freedom after office. Pointblanknews.com sources hinted that Governor Ahmed is in a very deep mess and has complicated former Governor Bukola Saraki’s case. Sources hinted that EFCC found out that Ahmed’s younger brother runs a Bureau De Change which they use in laundering money. EFCC sources said over N60 Billion in about 40 accounts have been traced to the Governor’s younger brother. The Bureau the change is used as the front. The money according to EFCC dates back to when Saraki was Governor. The EFCC has been on the trail of Saraki before Jonathan became President. In fact, sources said because of Saraki and Ex Delta Gover, James Ibori’s roles in the appointment of Farida Waziri as EFCC chairman, his( Saraki) probe was stopped. Yar’Adua ensured that he was protected. Sources said at no time did the Attorney General cleared Saraki of any wrong doing. This, it was further learnt, is the reason why Saraki has been a regular visitor to the EFCC recently. Pointblanknews.com learnt that the EFCC stumbled on the Ahmed/Saraki deal when the commission was perusing the books of defunct Societe Generale Bank owned by the Sarakis. This is the link: Governor Ahmed was Saraki’s Commissioner for Finance and Planning. Gbemi Saraki was the preferred candidate of late Olusola Saraki for Governor. But sources said because Saraki has a lot of deals with Ahmed as his Commissioner for Finance, he insisted that he took over from him as Governor to cover his tracks. Late Olusola Saraki considers Gbemi as a more grass rooted politician but lost out when her brother used money to bribe his way into reckoning. As for Aliyu this was how the N6 Billion bond deal from Zenith was tidied. a document entitled HR.NO.10 2008/2009-Resolution Granting Approval to the Executive Governor Of Niger state, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu,OON, To Enable him obtain N=6billion bond facilities in favor of Niger state Government” Dated Tuesday,11 Day of November, 2008. Signed by Pharm.MM Alkali., Honourable Speaker and Mohammed A. Rijau, Permanent Secretary/ Clerk, partly stated Thus; “Whereas: The Government of Niger State is committed to the provision of infrastructural development for the purpose of enhancing the welfare and well being of our people, the state Government after due consideration and consultations with the stakeholders and indeed purposeful deliberations by the state Executive Council came into conclusion that the available source is to seek for loan facility from the capital market through a bond; after the conclusion therefore, the state Government in partnership with Zenith Bank PLC arranged to obtain a loan facility of N=6billion from the capital market” A year earlier the state had gotten N9 Billion from the capital market for same infrastructural development but till date nothing is on ground. On December 12 2008, the Niger state Ministry of Finance, wrote to the Minister of Finance informing the Ministry of the deductions from the monthly Federal allocations to the state. In the letter entitled “Irrevocable Standing order, for deduction from the Account of Niger state Government in respect of N=6billion infrastructural Development Projects Bond” signed by Aminu Yusuf, Commissioner for finance, Abubakar Tukur, Accountant General, Engr. Sani Ndanusa, commissioner for Transport and infrastructure and Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, the state Government instructed the Federal Ministry, to make a monthly deduction of N=142,377,502.73. With commencement date of January, 2009, with tenor of 60 months. The letter further directed thus “The Niger state Government hereby gives to the Federal Ministry of Finance an irrevocable standing payment Order (ISPO) to deduct from the state statutory Allocation the principal sum and interest (COUPON) as per the attached scheduled and pay same to the Account of Zenith Trust Company Ltd/ Niger state infrasture Development Bond Account No. 6013808602. Aliyu had also in 2010 approved the sum of N23,269,890.00 for a medical trip to the United Kingdom for the state Chief Judge, Justice Jibrin Ndajiwo. He was to be accompanied by his wife Ashta, but the trip never was. The state Government claimed the Niger state House of Assembly received an invitation to the 56 CPA international and the CPA regional conferences holding in Nairobi Kenya on September 10-19, 2010 and South Africa July 24-31 2010 respectively. The House submitted a bill of over N=49,000,000,00 for the two trips http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/govs-babangida-aliyu-ahmed-in-n81-billion-naira-fraud-the-saraki-connection/ 1 Like

Politics / Again, Nigerian Army Raids Suspected Boko Haram Hideout In Sokoto by Stallion77(f): 6:42pm On Aug 12, 2013 |
The raid on suspected insurgents hideout is ongoing. The 1 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Sokoto, on Monday said it raided a hideout of suspected Boko Haram insurgents on Sunday night and arrested a suspect, Mubarak, alias Dan-Hajiya. Captain Yahaya Musa, spokesman of the brigade, said at a news briefing in Sokoto that the operation was jointly conducted with operatives of the State Security Service (SSS). He said the operation was in continuation of the series of raids by security agencies to rid Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states of some fleeing insurgents from volatile states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe. “Troops of the brigade have in the past few days intensified raids on the hideouts of these suspected Boko Haram terrorists. “We have also made several arrests and investigations are ongoing; so this is the only one we can authoritatively confirm now. “But I can, however, authoritatively confirm that there were no deaths recorded either on the side of the insurgents or the military and SSS,’’ he said. Mr. Musa said that arms and ammunition were recovered from the house of the suspect at Nakasari area of Sokoto. He said that items recovered included three AK-47 riffles, one riot gun, 153 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunitions, explosives, three cartons of acid, knock-outs, chemicals and thermometers. He appealed to the residents to shun rumours and urged them to sustain the tempo of support and cooperation with the security agencies.
