IBEXY:
I just came from Woodgreen. So many shops were looted. T-Mobile, Boots, Body Shop. Several shop windows showed evidence of breakage - glasses shattered. There was a feeling of panic in the air. Even in the Wood green shopping mall where I went, several shops were closed. Some were shutting down as I was there. There was a brief period when people just started running - for no reason at all. Everyone is afraid.

The looted and burnt area in Tottenham high road is still cordoned off. Helicopter constantly in the air. Police every where. One officer said the closure will last a few days.
This is serious . , . . .

The police must be stretched and tired.

They're clearly outnumbered by the disgruntled youths/yobs

I work in Hackney
Ohh - Well I would get out of there as soon as possible.

Trouble is building (check out sky news or BBC news)

As a precaution take your personal belongings with you (including any food you leave in the fridge) as your place of work may burn down tonight.

And if your wearing new trainers dont run when your on the street - you may get arrested as a suspected looter.

Good Luck,

even stratford is scheduled for 7pm tonight. this is getting out of hand.
Yeah - i heard Statford is scheduled for some looting tonight.

But 'Hackney' will be severe if it erupts - there are too many poor people and ethnic minorities there.

Seems they dont give a F, k

They are looting right now in Hackney and its not even 5pm.

so basically people feel they are suffering because they are living  paycheck to paycheck or giro to giro ? shocked they need to take a trip to ethiopia and somalia. imbeciles, the whole lot of them
Its more complex than that . . .

A lot of those people have no job and have no hope of getting a job.

They have no prospects - and are destined for a life of crime and poverty.

To make matters worse its the same plight their parents were subject too - however many of the previous generation were more prepared to suffer to make it in life.

I fully understand their frustration - living of benefits or on minimum wage is no way to live life.

Sadly, the same can be found throughout London - Both whites, blacks, asians, are all feeling it.

London is a ticking time bomb.

Foreign Affairs › Afghanistan Helicopter Crash Kills Navy Seals From Unit That Got Osama Bin Laden by Sunofgod(op): 5:49pm On Aug 06, 2011
The Associated Press has learned that more than 20 Navy SEALs from the unit that killed Osama bin Laden were among those lost in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

The operators from SEAL Team Six were flown by a crew of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. That's according to one current and one former U.S. official. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because families are still being notified of the loss of their loved ones.

One source says the team was thought to include 22 SEALs, three Air Force air controllers, seven Afghan Army troops, a dog and his handler, and a civilian interpreter, plus the helicopter crew.

The sources thought this was the largest single loss of life ever for SEAL Team Six, known as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group.

A Pension Fund is there to Fund Pensioners - not infrastructure development.

It should not be risked or gambled with.

No doubt certain western countries invest these funds to make more money - but this often backfires.

Just look at the worldwide stockmarkets where pension funds have traditionally been invested.

When these speculators (Sanusi in this instance) loose the money its never them that suffer.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=728917.msg8866183#msg8866183 date=1312613152]Sounds like a good idea. But this pension fund isn't under the control of the CBN, is it?

Also, I wonder what the current N2 trillion is being invested in. . .[/quote]Your bloody crazy!!

That the CBN should raid the pension pot of Nigerian's who have worked hard all their lives to invest in infrastructure?

How about you consider the position of pensioners before making such a ridiculous comment.

Is the problem that they do not have money to buy food or there is no food to buy?

This is not solely about being poor - its about famine caused by nature.

If anything they need to up their birth rate before the become extinct.

They need to be compensated for the damage oil extraction has done to their environment.

Politics › Fashola Again - Lagos Flood Victims Remanded In Kirikiri Prisons by Sunofgod(op): 5:28pm On Aug 03, 2011
LAGOS — Twenty-Five displaced flood victims in Lagos State, who were accused of demonstrating against alleged maltreatment by government officials at the Agbowa transit camp, where they were kept, have been docked before an Ikeja Chief Magistrate Court.


The accused persons, who were, yesterday, arraigned on a two-count charge of conspiracy and arson before Chief Magistrate Olufemi Isaac, were said to have conspired and attempted to set on fire the Lagos State Temporary Resettlement Camp, Agbowa in Ikorodu.


The offence is said to be contrary to Sections 444(1) and 249(d) Criminal Code Law Cap 617 Vol. 2 Laws of Lagos State 2003.

They pleaded not guilty to the charge.

They were granted bail in the sum of N250,000 with two sureties in like sum, with evidence of tax payment.

However, following the court order, they were moved to the Kirikiri prisons custody pending when they would perfect their bail conditions.

They are among those the government had resettled in the camp following the flood that hit the state recently.

The accused persons were said to have threatened to set the camp on fire on July 29, when they felt government officials handling the disbursement of government welfare packages had short-changed them.


Vanguard gathered that those who protested were up to 69, while only 25 of them brought to court, yesterday.

So we can deduce who ordered the 'hit' on Abiola.

But who planned 'Abacha's' death? Was it the same person?

If it was the person,  from today onwards he must be known as the most feared 'Nigerian - Ever -  cool

What's obvious is that a certain tribe (hausa) constantly take avantage of the treacherous nature of another tribe (yoruba) for political advantage. shocked

This presents a dilema - which one of them is actually the most wicked?  angry

But deep down we all know this - So far the revelations released do not shock me at all.

Politics › Re: As Fashola Declares Austerity Measures In Lagos by Sunofgod(op): 6:39pm On Aug 01, 2011
delala:
I don't have a problem with cutting costs. Very sensible. However, with the figures stated each month, I honestly wonder where the rest is spent. I'm also certain it is for the benefit of the Tinubu/Fashola led elite few. A billion dollars to spend each year, assuming we are given the right figures, is a lot to have made some serious significant changes. Quality of education is still horrible, after 4 years Fashola can't even dare to send any of his kids to public schools, Health is messed up, the roads are bad, insecurity at its peak and unemployment is high. Not to speak of power and accommodation.

I say all these with the majority poor and working class in mind. The argument that the federal government is to blame is invalid, else there would be no point having state governors elected to see to the immediate needs of the people. Researching the so called work done and the amount spent on them, the financial disparity is glaring. Furthermore most of the projects are either hugely inadequate and selective for their purposes or fleeting in lifetime but alive enough for the 'ACN is working' propaganda. If only they can divert the funds spent on PR to more important stuffs.

Nigeria can only get worse with the attitude and comments being displayed on social forums. The hate for OBJ shouldn't translate to the love for these thieves. Politics of issues rather than politics of sentiments, is needed.

ACN has shown to be more dangerous than PDP. PDP is packed with corrupt individuals and election fraudsters. ACN goes a bit further. In addition to the qualities of PDP, ACN is autocratic, aggressive, hypocritical and packed with judicial fraudsters. The two parties have been able to get away with these atrocities because Nigerians in general, including a high percentage of those that believe they are well educated, are not enlightened.

Frankly I'm scared of CPC. And that's because of their aggression and incendiary attributes. The last thing a country needs is ethnic aggravation. Simply put, Fashola is overrated, nigerians should start talking about issues and choose leaders on merit and I am yet to see anyone give me a list of Fashola's 'Qualitative' achievements

The burden created by the payment of the N18, 000 new minimum wage recently approved by the Federal Government, appears to have weighed down on the finances of the Lagos State Government as the state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola has imposed some austerity measures to cut cost of running government in the state.


Daily Sun learnt in an executive order circulated by the state government that the new austerity measures, such as discontinuation of oversea trips for government officials, television set/decoders, subsidy on petroleum products, money spent on frills and jamborees T-shirts/caps, food, car maintenance, among others have been banned.

The executive order dated July 12 sent to the Lagos Head of Service, Mr. Adeseye Ogunlewe, ministries, departments and agencies specifically stated that the measures were first in the series of more measures to be introduced by the state government.


Amid lamentation over the measures the governor said: “It has become expedient for the state government to strictly monitor the way money is spent on governance as the impact of the minimum wage will no longer permit excessive spending by the government.

“The minimum wage has depleted the fund available to the government for social services by N2 billion every month.


“From all computations, the Lagos government will need between N5.5 billion and N7 billion to pay its over 50, 000 workers and political appointees against a monthly revenue profile of between N18 billion and N20 billion. Salaries will gulp about 40 per cent of the state’s expenditure.”

He stated that: “The overall impact is that government spending on wages and emoluments have increased by about N2 billion.


“The implications are that government is deprived of financial resources that were hitherto deployed to the funding of social services such as schools, water supply, waste management security and other amenities which helped to improved the lives of citizens.”

It was clearly stated that the governor had scrapped the grants for supports for private or individual problems or sponsorships, except for very deserving educational and medical causes.

Fashola explained that the austerity measures does not affect bursary and scholarships to deserving students but warned that conscientious efforts would be made to reduce the training of personnel home and abroad
