To put it in context, ADELE would not do such a thing. Why? Cos her music speaks for itself. It's GOOD MUSIC! So, since Nicki Minaj does a lot of CRAP she has to do som'n for attention. Voila! It's just something and someone we should IGNORE really! And I totally agree with people who wonder why these people don't do the same with Islam? They don't have that much guts after all! Ha!

THE TRUE STORY THE GOVT WON’T TELL YOU  [size=12pt][/size]Nigeria . . . 2011. The Govt. suddenly realised that it had a debt burden that was potentially going to throw it into an economic crisis. On ‘critical analysis’ of the country’s expenditure, they realised they were spending so much on fuel subsidy for the masses. WHY was it so much? CORRUPTION associated with the importation of the fuel,inefficiency and ineptitude of the Govt. to tackle it. HOW can it be solved? OPTION ONE: Wage a major anti-corruption war against the CABAL using underhand practices to steal from the country’s commonwealth [corruption can NEVER be ELIMINATED. EVER! However, with sincerity of purpose of Govt., due diligence, hard work and efficiency, it can be reduced drastically]. This option was going to be too much hard work, they would step on toes (toes of the Govt, their friends and well-wishers included) and it was bound to be very messy. It was the HARD OPTION. OPTION TWO: Eliminate fuel subsidy in its entirety and let the masses bear the cost. All in favour say Aye! . . .Aye!!! The Ayes had it. It was unanimous! It was the EASY OPTION. However, there was a catch! The Govt. could not sell that STORY to the people. Nigerians would not buy a story that they were being impoverished because of a potential debt crisis. That they were being IMPOVERISHED because the Govt. could not fight corruption or ATTEMPT to fight it. That they were being IMPOVERISHED because the Govt. could not cut down drastically on the COST OF GOVERNANCE. Borrowing the words of a man now in Govt., THE ECONOMISTS WOULD HAVE BEEN STONED. So they had to cook up a story. A good one. “Let’s tell them they are being cheated by a RICH CABAL,” they said. “That’s a story the poor would definitely buy. The Rich is stealing your money. Let’s not tell them that we haven’t attempted to prosecute even ONE MEMBER OF THE RICH CABAL. Let’s not tell them that we are INTERTWINED with this CABAL. Let’s tell them that we are going to take this money and re-invest it for infrastructural development. Let’s not tell them that the money DOESN’T EXIST since we have only been borrowing this money and we want to stop borrowing it. Let’s tell them that when the money is with THE GOVT and split to SEVERAL SECTORS and the THREE TIERS OF GOVT, we would manage it better and tackle the corruption at ALL THESE LEVELS even if we couldn’t tackle the corruption in ONE SECTOR!!! Yes, let’s tell them. "Let’s also tell them that when we remove this subsidy, SMUGGLING will stop and all the oil imported to Nigeria will stay in Nigeria. Let’s not tell them that even after subsidy removal, smuggling will continue as long as there is a price differential. Let’s not tell them that we are actually too LAZY, INEFFICIENT and CORRUPT to tackle smuggling at the source. Let’s tell them that the pain is only temporary. Very temporary. That this is for the poor. Let’s not tell them that the POOR which we claim to fight for are the people who will actually feel the pain. . .REAL LOSERS!! Let’s hope the NIGERIAN FOOLS will believe this. Let’s tell them this is for the poor. Let’s tell them. All in favour say Aye! . . Aye!!! The Ayes had it! It was unanimous. It was a good STORY! DISCLAIMER: I do not claim that every bit of this story is true, but it is my guess as to what the REAL STORY is, based on facts revealed by the actors themselves, hidden truths in their statements, and COMMON SENSE. The ‘Nigerian fools’ are not gullible. . .They were not counting on that. #OCCUPY.NIGERIA |

@LAST PAGE. . . EXACTLY!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU! @wellmax, my first point just basically highlights the DECEIT that characterises the govt!! Is this the same govt we are supposed to trust and give a chance? they are not even honest about the subsidy thing in the firts place. ANOTHER POINT which i have made elsewhere is this: ONE MORE REASON THEY GIVE to remove subsidy is because prices in NEIGHBOURING countries are higher than our own! So does that mean that our price has to be at par with our neighbours ALWAYS so that people will not smuggle? So we plan to deregulate and competition would bring prices DOWN? Prices would GO DOWN? REALLY? So by then the smuggling will go on right? Because if we refine and competition pushes prices down, as they have told us, our prices will probably be lower than our neighbours then! By then, it will be a case of us refining in Nigeria and smuggling out na! Isn't it OBVIOUS therefore that you should not remove subsidy because our prices are lower than neighbours, thereby encouraging smuggling. Rather we should endeavour to put measures in place to CURB SMUGGLING!! If Cameroun sells fuel for 300 NAIRA tomorrow, are we going to increase our own to 300 NAIRA as well so that people won't smuggle? |
| Politics › Re: I Didn't Say "The Poor Don't Get It" - Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala by stronger: 8:54pm On Jan 09, 2012 |
@wellmax the point with number one is, Nigerians are being made to believe that the AMOUNT of money allocated for subsidy normally would be put into some sort of account and used for development in addition to money previously voted for development. But this is a BAREFACED LIE because SANUSI and co. categorically stated that we CAN't KEEP BORROWING to sustain subsidy!! So the money doesn't exist anymore because Nigeria will NOT borrow!! Geddit? So, what happens then is that the money previously voted for development will be used for some small development and passed off as gains of removing fuel subsidy! Who are we kidding? as for the second point, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU that corruption is a hydra headed and VERY DIFFICULT to curb, but what they've just done does not solve ANYTHING! They have shared the alleged savings to the three tiers of govt!! Ah!! Tell me wellmax, if they couldn't fight the corruption in ONE SECTOR, How would they fight Corruption in THREE TIERS OF GOVT, MULTIPLE SECTORS, MULTIPLE MINISTRIES??!! Who are we kidding? So they have only transfered the embezzlement from one place to another! Simply put, a NEW CABAL is in town! this just goes to prove the saying 'DON'T STEAL. . THE GOVT HATES COMPETITION!!' As for the third point, it was a deliberate ploy to deceive people and they stated it very clearly in the newspaper ads! I PERSONALLY READ it where they put 'amount of subsidy enjoyed by woman in village = 0'. So, we need to read between the lines o. Please counter any of my points so that we can be more enlightened |

THREE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS To Those Of You Who STILL Think Fuel Subsidy Removal is good!! 1) At the town-hall meeting, SANUSI LAMIDO and co. stated categorically that we can't sustain fuel subsidy because we can't keep BORROWING to sustain it. Our economy will crash that way! Obviously it means we don't have the money for it because we have been BORROWING! Now, tell me, what money are they REINVESTING? The money doesn't exist, so wot are they telling you we will re-invest? Have you been SCAMMED?! 2) We all agree there is NOTHING WRONG with fuel subsidy! However, what we are spending on it today is TOO MUCH for the nation's economy to bear. But we know that the only reason it is too much is because of CORRUPTION! So we say eliminate or at least reduce the corruption of the so-called CABAL! The Govt says they CAN NOT and the best way is to remove it entirely let Nigerians bear the burden! THE QUESTION IS, even if the money existed, what is to say that they CAN now PREVENT the CORRUPTION IN THE GOVT that will now reinvest this 'imaginary money' if they COULD NOT stop the Govt-aided CABAL?!! Is it Magic? 3) Okonjo-Iweala and her cohorts claimed at the townhall meeting and put up several ads in the media that the POOR DO NOT enjoy the subsidy because they do not go and buy fuel from the filling stations! Don't they realise that the old woman in the village that buys a product that was transported with a vehicle that uses fuel HAS ENJOYED the SUBSIDY because the cost of the product which depends partly on the cost of transportation has therefore been subsidised? If the govt can't grasp that SIMPLE economic concept, shouldn't we be WORRIED?? |

Big up, bro! @ DAVID davidylan: davidylan:Okay now, let me attempt to put to rest the impression you get that it's ONLY THE BLACK MAN that can't deal with NATURAL DISASTERS!! Ever heard of the earthquakes (1920, 1927, 1974, 1976 etc) and Floods (1938, 1939, 1949, 1959) in CHINA? (. . . the last time I checked, Asian) . . .Droughts, Earthquakes and landslides in the SOVIET UNION? (from elementary geography, EUROPEAN) . . . Droughts, Earthquakes, Hurricanes etc INDIA? (Again, could be ASIAN, what do you think, David?) . . . Earthquakes in Japan, Italy, Peru, Turkey, Chile etc Definitely NOT BLACK countries!!! When these catastrophic NATURAL DISASTERS occured, prepared or not, David, these countries NEEDED help from the rest of the world. . including BLACK NATIONS!! I hope this puts to rest the fact that it's not about black and white, but about helping a country in need (regardless of colour) to cope with a disaster that even the most technologically advanced NON-BLACK nation couldn't have handled alone! davidylan:So, we shouldn't donate, right? since it will achieve nothing anyway. . and Like my friend Debosky pointed out, this is pure speculation. . . besides, when I see the Red Cross and other Charities hand out supplies that will put (even if momentary) smiles on those homeless, starving children. . I'll be glad I donated that "meager" $10. davidylan:True, true. . meanwhile, Let the rest of us Hypocrites get as many people to donate as possible. . and tell them HOW to donate.

[b]DAVID AND CO. ARE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! Why Should we waste precious time donating to Haitians in "need"? President Obama has pledged about $100,000,000. Rubbish!! That money is better off used SETTING UP A COMMITTEE on HOW THE DISASTER COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. I suggest we also invite a few STARVING, THIRSTY, HOMELESS Haitian kids to the panel to make valuable contributions. For one, that will keep their minds off the dozens of family, relatives and friends that are either missing or dead. The Red cross, Salvation Army, Wyclef's YELE, MTV's telethon and all other such fund raisers are all wasting their time!!!! Instead of a telethon, for instance, there should be numerous TV shows where viewers can discuss the crimes of the Haitian government, why the buildings were not all built with reinforced concretes, why predominantly black countries seem to all be failed states, why we had to wait for a disaster to donate to Haiti etc. LARGE SCREEN TVs should be installed in strategic places in the destroyed city of Port-au-Prince where these shows can be viewed by the homeless children, so they can learn from their mistakes!!! @DAVID. . . Good Job, My Brother. I suggest you write a comprehensive essay on all your VALID and PERFECTLY TIMED points and send a copy to the UN, US, EU, Haiti. . . You never know, you could get a NOBEL PRIZE for it! Well done bro!![/b] |
