Politics › Re: 20 Ladies Killed In Maiduguri For Wearing Mini-Skirts & Trousers? by taharqa:
Ezeufi: naa, Im too sophisticated to inflict pain on decent human beings, especially in their place of worship where they are supposed to experience the most peacefullness. I wouldn't mind eliminating an slowpoke of you proportion though wink
Just look at d way you chose yr qualifiers carefully: i wont inflict pain on DECENT human being, esp in dier place of worship, you say. So what of if the human being is not 'decent'? I hv had discussions with ordinarily sane Muslims who almost by default use these kinds of qualifying words esp 'innocent'; the questn i find myself asking is who defines the 'innocense' of a human being? Is it just any person or any group or an islamically constituted authority? Cos i think dis questn is at the heart of the kind of terroism we see in d world today.... For eg, who or what defined the 'innocence' or other wise of that Igbo tailor who was said to hv mispronouncd and then insultd d Prophet yterday; who also determind d 'innocense' of oda 'innocent' Igbos that died cos of d misundastanding? The mob? Lets just cut the chase: wud you determind all by yrself the 'innocence' of a person who insultd the prophet in yr presence, and if you had a knife wud u use it then and there? Or wud you wait for a constitutd authority to pass judgement?

take dat: NTA, VON and FRCN will all be Shoprite of deception, propaganda and falsehood!

When Sowore was on against the Turai cabal, Pro GEJ saw him as the next best thing but now that the heat is on GEJ he has suddenly turned to a liar! Hypocrites
NTA, FRCN, VON, SR,PREMIUMTIMES, THE NATION and infact most of present day Nigerian Media are all a bunch of noise making interest-seeking machines who manipulate the passion of dier target audience in pursuit of dier own views. Objectivity and Balance- and sometimes even a pretense to these- have been thrown overboard; PROPAGANDA been the new play... Just a very few of them (like Tell, Guardian, Businessday etc) are still deserving of being calld 'Journalistic Media' in d real word. The hapless and gullible public are the victims of all these Play of Interests

Demdem: Foool, kiss my arsse afterall u are in the business of kissing arses among which the Retardeen being the chief.
Showing ur miserable kind what u request for will be out of place, considering the fact that u are a known fool around here.
Again its no news that the Retardeen and his family of Aso gluttons are busy eating the country's wealth away.
It will surely choke them to their grave.
MUMU-ish is it d answer to the questn you threatend you wantd to produce. The questn is: at what time eva did 'GEJ and his family spend #1billion to feed demselves'? You said you were going to 'show' me where he did so dis yr, what is holding you back now...hv u also forgotten dat u where d same foool who opend a thread here in early October telling us dat 'GEJ will use almost #900m to feed himself'?

So fool, are u saying the retardeen and his fellow Aso gluttons wont be consuming the budgeted approx 1 Billion allocated for this year feeding?

Demdem: Fool, is the Retardeen not currently eating approx 1 Billion this year? Yes a proposal of over 300million is on the card for next year and Aso gluttons are bitterly complaining it wont be enough and thats why they want it to be "jacked" up.
Considering their precedence, it surely will be "jacked" up. This obviously isnt the end of the story.
I askd a simple questn without insulting you and you deceiving to throw insults? You are a complete Foool to respond dat way, and saying nothing as usual...dont know why i waste my time with sm of u guys: powerless ppl hv no option but talk and talk and talk.

Demdem: Of cos we are. however, the Presidency is the standard and have raised the bar. All states govt will probably follow suit. If Retardeen and the whole of the presidency consumes approx a Billion naira worth of food, what stops each of the state govt houses to feed on 500Million each undecided
Once the head is tackled, it will trickle down no doubt.



U are obviously part of the Retardeen Inner circle that consumes so much in the midst of abject poverty. Again, i reiterate that ur gluttony will lead u to ur grave speedily.
Where did you read that the Villa spend #1 billion for food, emhmm? Certainly not this article! Abi less than #300m is now equal to #1billion for una mind? The worst tin that can happen is to believe one's own lies perpetually
Politics › Re: More Money For Food At Aso Rock - Presidency To Senate by taharqa:
armadeo: I remember the 5 milla furniture allowance brouhaha during obj's first term. We sure have come a long way since then. Now peeps are eating billions literally.
Carry go jona we await 2015 with patience.
Now am going to response to this since you are the 1st person that made a claim, albeit an ignorant one.... 1st, what has happened to the old Lie (sorry, Line) that 'GEJ and his family eats #1billion food yearly' that you guys have been running around wit since the begining of this year? Una don dey abandoning dat one, ni? Might that be cos this article clarifies and suggests that less than #300million is actually used for refreshments and entertainment and that this sum is meant not just for the President and his Vice and their families but for hundreds of staff that work with them, various people who visit the Villa every day, hosting of FEC and Council of Stae meetings, Retreats, State Dinners for visiting Heads of State etc.
You are the one to talk abi? You call the name Obasanjo and you are comparing that name and GEJ in terms of 'waste' abi? Okay, can you swear that Obasanjo and other Heads of States didnt use more than at least 3 times the amount that GEJ is using to run the villa during their time? But wait o...scratch dat, i forgot you that you rili cant answer that cos neither you nor I were told how much the Villa used in feeding and running itself b4 now (it was essentially a 'state secret'); here we are however discussing the amount of money the most powerful institution in the country uses to feed itself and its guests cos smone is open with us dis time around. Have you ever witnessd such tarnsparency and openess, at least in this respect, at any time in history of dis nation? Do you even have a clue at this point, about the amount your state government uses to run its state house? You are the one to talk in deed!

You talk about GEJ spending ('wasting') in 'billions' while Obj spent ('wasted') in millions in OVERHEADS costs abi? Okay, what if you were told that one of them reduced the General Overhead costs from N526billion in 2010 (the year he came in) to N266billion in 2012 to projected N230billion in 2013(next year)? i.e HALVED THE OVERHEAD COST OF THE FG IN 2 yrs. What of if you were told that one of them stopped the extremely ugly trend of d increase in Recurrent Expenditure every year from 1999 and infact reversed this trend immediately he came in from 77.1% in 2010 to 74.43% in 2011 to 71.47% in 2012 to around 68.7% in 2013(next year)? What of if you were told that one of them reduced the Deficit from 3.35% of GDP in 2010 to 2.96% in 2011 to 2.85% in 2012 to projected 2.17% in 2013(next year)? And this person did all this without sacking a single person in the Civil service within this 2-year period (as a matter of fact, all this while actuali implementing the minimum wage to #18,000, paying Corpers #18,900, implementing 27.5% for teachers and some increases for Lecturers, new Salary scale for Medical doctors etc). This person is also on the verge of what is arguably the most radical rationalisation of the many 'redundant' /duplicated Agencies of Govt in the history of this nation (am talking about the Oronsaye's report- which he said only recently in a media chat is ready and would have been taken this Wednesday but for some engagement outside the country). And this is the 'one' that you regard as the 'most wasteful' in Nigeria's history, right? Yea..i can see how that is evidently correct!!

I would have discussed the details in this particular state house expediture and some of my misgivings or misunderstanding about a few of the figures (for instance, the #30.5million food for Zoo animals- what the hell is that really about?) but there is absolutely no need for that. Debate is certainly not the purpose of this thread, is it? I mean 2 thrends of EXACTLY the same topic could not have found its way to the frontpage in NL these days cos you guys wanted to DEBATE. The questio is: Are you guys now satisfied with the silly empty compalint circus show?

A 6-7% growth 4 a country like Nigeria is a recession (actually depression). Developed economies need two successive negative growth rate to be in recession, but 4 Nigeria anything below 15% is recession.

Politics › Fuel Scarcity: NNPC Completes System 2B Repairs, Supply Challenges To Ease by taharqa(op): 4:28am On Nov 21, 2012
[b]Hopes of improvement in fuel supply in the South-West area have been raised following the completion of repair works on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s System 2B pipeline, which was vandalised in August at Arepo, Ogun State.

The pipeline, which pumps petroleum products from offshore Atlas Cove depot to Mosinmi, Ibadan, Ilorin and Ore depots, is currently undergoing a test-run.

Top officials in the downstream sub-sector of the petroleum industry, disclosed this to our correspondent in confidence on Monday.

Our correspondent gathered that currently, the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company, a subsidiary of the NNPC, was currently pumping water through the pipeline, as a form of test run of the facility.

Market sources that disclosed this to our correspondent, were, however, worried that the PPMC had been testing the facility for a while with no sign of pumping petrol through the channel, considering the current scarcity of the product in the country.

One of the sources said, “The System 2B has been fixed and it is being tested as we speak. The PPMC has been pumping water through it for some time now.[/b]”

Our correspondent was unable to confirm this development from the NNPC, as the corporation did not respond to enquiries.

The pipeline was shut after it exploded in August following attacks by vandals, who were siphoning products from it.

The shutdown had resulted in petrol distribution problems in states like Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Edo, Ilorin and environs.

With the closure, trucks that hitherto loaded at Mosinmi in Shagamu, Ogun State, had to come to depots at Apapa, Lagos to load. This had caused delays and other logistic challenges for the marketers.

This had mounted pressure on supplies for the Lagos area and its environs.

The NNPC management had in September confirmed the killing of three of its engineers and technicians deployed to effect repairs on the vandalised pipeline, after suspected oil pipeline vandals opened fire on them.

The Acting Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC, Mr. Fidel Pepple, had said aside the three members of the repair team who were killed, others also sustained injuries from gunshots fired by the vandals.

The corporation had dispatched a team of pipeline engineers and technologists to the ruptured pipeline site after it successfully put out the flames by ensuring a complete cut-off of product supply to the pipeline from Atlas Cove.

The PPMC team was on the verge of gaining access to the damaged point to commence proper assessment of the scope of work when they were ensnared in an ambush
