The pan-Yoruba socio cultural group, Afenifere, has faulted the call for the removal of the Chairman of the National Population Commission, Mr. Festus Odimegwu, by the Arewa Consultative Forum and some northern leaders. It said Odimegwu should be allowed to conduct the 2016 census. After its meeting on August 27, the National Working Committee of the ACF had issued a communique urging the Federal Government not to allow Odimegwu conduct the 2016 census, for saying previous censuses were manipulated in favour of a section of the country. The spokesman of Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, told SUNDAY PUNCH that the group was in support of Odimegwu, and believed he would conduct Nigeria’s first credible census in 2016. He said, “What Odimegwu said is not new, even the former census boss at Adekunle Ajasin University in 2006, said the same thing, that since 1816, no census has been credible in Nigeria. The reason why the North is against Odimegwu is that they know that for the first time, census would be conducted by a credible census board in Nigeria. They are trying to defend their unjust gains through manipulations of previous census exercises.” Odumakin stated that due to the manipulation of census figures in the past, the North had gained undue political advantages over the South. He said, “It is on the basis of manipulated census that the North, which was one out of three regions we had in the country, now has 19 states, while the Western and Eastern regions have 17 states combined. In the First Republic, Lagos and Kano were divisions. Today, Kano has been divided into Kano and Jigawa states, with 77 local government areas shared between the two, Lagos has remained one state, with about 20 local governments. “It is also on the basis of this that the North-West and the North-East have enough representatives in the National Assembly to initiate the impeachment of the President; they can influence things because of this manipulation of census. There is nothing wrong in what Odimegwu said. He said the truth. “In fact, by the time he made the statement, the Independent National Electoral Commission was embarking on delineation of constituency, which was seriously contested. If it was done, the far North would have lost some constituencies, and the South would have gained more constituencies based on 2006 census. That is why they (northerners) are up-in-arms against Odimegwu conducting 2016 census.” Before ACF’s call, the Governor of Kano State, Mr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, had asked President Goodluck Jonathan to sack Odimegwu for the same reason, describing his appointment as NPC boss as a mistake. In response, the Presidency had queried Odimegwu over the statement credited to him. However, the Presidency has showed no indication that the North’s request would be granted. http://www.punchng.com/news/census-afenifere-faults-north-backs-odimegwu/ |

A civil rights lawyer, Mr. Ebun Olu-Adegboruwa, has said the Lagos State Government is not sincere with its buy-back of the Lekki-Epe road concession project, alleging the action is meant to rescue the concessionaire, Lekki Construction Company. He accused the state government of covering up the failure of the LCC to execute the project according to the terms of the concession agreement. The Lagos State House of Assembly had on August 27 approved a supplementary budget of N7.5bn for the state government to fund the acquisition of the existing concession right of the expressway. Before the intervention of the government in the project, the LCC was mandated by a 30-year Build, Operate and Transfer agreement to upgrade, expand and maintain the over 49km road (Phase I), and construct another 20km of coastal road (Phase II) along the Lekki corridor. But Olu-Adegboruwa said, “The reason for the buy-back is that the project has failed. The loan they took to do the project has been wasted and the money they were collecting from the toll was not enough to execute the project. So, the Lagos State Government is only being forced to buy back as a way of covering the unclothedness of the LCC.” The lawyer had sued the state government and the LCC, asking the court to stop the collection of tolls from users of the road. He requested the Lagos House of Assembly to set up a judicial commission of inquiry to investigate the contract. He said, “I ask that a judicial commission of inquiry be set up by the House of Assembly to investigate the contract. “We must know how much has been made since December 18, 2011 when this thing started; how much loan is involved; and then what the commitment of Lagos State to the project is. This is because it has just been discovered that the Lagos State Government obtained a loan of about N6bn from the African Development Bank for this project to start. “So, if it was Lagos State that gave the initial fund for the project to start, why are we then paying so much? It then means that LCC has no investment in this project.” Olu-Adegboruwa also lamented the slow pace of work and the high cost of the project, which he said was the most expensive in the world. “This is the longest road project in the world. It is a 49km project. As I speak to you, they have not completed up to 20km and this was a project that started in 2003. “By the estimate of the African Development Bank, at N1.3bn per kilometre, it is the most expensive road project in the world. The cost of this project is N1.3bn per kilometre. That is why I am asking for investigation.” When asked to react to the allegations, the state Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Ayodeji Gbeleyi, said he would not speak on them in view of the pending suit. But he said the government was on the verge of finalising negotiations on the buy-back of the 100 per cent shares of the LCC in the project. “Negotiations on the 100 per cent shares buy-back are about to be finalised and the implication for the Toll Plaza 3, if any, and toll tariffs will only be determined when the Lagos State Government assumes control.” http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/lekki-epe-road-olu-adegboruwa-accuses-lagos-of-cover-up/ |
Just accept you are yoruba masquerading as an ijaw. ijaw citizen: I tire for these igbo internet expansionist. I should just forget about them and let them continue in their madness because a word isn't enough for the unwise. I've told you'all the truth about these Bayelsa communities and I'm contented with that. Some fools can continue claiming all they want on the internet, it won't have any effect on the REALITY on ground. It seems I'm dignifying their rubbish with my educative responses which they would always dispute as the fools that they are. I know the next thing that would emanate from their heads is "Ijaw hate Igbo". |
The Presidency has queried the Chairman of the National Population Commission, Chief Festus Odimegwu, over his reported comments on the nation’s past census. Our correspondent gathered in Abuja on Tuesday that the Presidency felt the comments negated his position as the NPC boss. A source in the Presidency said, “Odimegwu was queried over some comments that were credited to him in the newspapers.” Before the source spoke, there were speculations that he was suspended. Odumegwu, however, denied both the suspension and the query. “There is nothing wrong,” he said when contacted on the query and the alleged suspension, adding, “it is the propaganda of those who are jittery concerning the reforms we are bringing to the NPC.” “What they are saying is not true; it is blackmail. It is propaganda and that is their wish. You should know that if wishes were horses, beggars would be riding every day,” he stated. Odimegwu had in a recent interview with journalists in Abuja said the country had not had any credible census since 1816. He had blamed the irregularity on the distortion and falsification of figures for selfish and political reasons. Odimegwu said, “No census has been credible in Nigeria since 1816. Even the one conducted in 2006 is not credible. I have the records and evidence produced by scholars and professors of repute. This is not my report. If the current laws are not amended, the planned 2016 census will not succeed.” But the Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankanso, at a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan faulted the appointment of the NPC boss. In an interview with State House correspondents, Kwankanso “I also raised the issue of the Chairman of the National Population Commission headed by one Festus Odimegwu. “We are not happy about that appointment, and think that it was a mistake. Odimegwu shouldn’t be there in the first place, why because, you see unfortunately we were together, somebody read his curriculum vitae. “He had only one thing in alcoholic industry, all his life. And my guess is that he’s taking a lot of his products and that is why we feel that his appointment is a mistake because he cannot be the Chairman of NPC and at the same time attacking what his predecessor had done.” The NPC, in its reaction, faulted Kwankwaso’s comments. In a statement by the Chairperson of the NPC Public Affairs Committee , Oluseyi Aderinokun-Olusanya, the commission said “the governor’s call for the sack of NPC chairman was diversionary, ill-advised and a reckless attempt to politicise the yet-to-be conducted 2016 census.” http://www.punchng.com/news/presidency-queries-odimegwu-npc-chairman/ |

The North has opposed the Host Community Fund that has been prescribed in the new Petroleum Industry Bill, which is undergoing debate at the National Assembly. The apex socio-cultural group in the North, the Arewa Consultative Forum, in response to SUNDAY PUNCH’s inquiry, said the establishment of the Host Community Fund, while leaving the 13 per cent derivation to oil-producing states would amount to the whole nation funding the managerial imperfection of the Niger Delta state governments. The Publicity Secretary of the ACF, Anthony Sani, said the group was not favourably disposed to the fund, adding that funds that had been paid to Niger Delta states were used to develop only the state capitals. He said, “ACF is not favourably disposed to the Host Community Fund because while a section of the PIB provides that 10 per cent of the monthly profits of all oil operations of both onshore and off shore be paid into the Host Community Fund, the following section provides that the off shore part of the fund be removed and paid into littoral states. “Our grouse is that states have no environment being degraded separate from the host communities. More troubling is the tendency of the PIB to forget the existence of 13 per cent derivation meant for amelioration of effects of degradation of environment of host communities which have agitated that the 13 per cent derivation be paid directly to them. Reasons are that the derivation is being used by state governments to build airports, flyovers and five-star hotels in state capitals to the chagrin of the host communities.” Sani added that though the argument of compensating for environmental degradation might be tenable, the North was opposed to the inclusion of profit from offshore operation in the calculation. He said, “If derivation is to compensate for environmental degradation and/or to reward effort, we still do not see the wisdom of including proceeds from off shore exploration in the calculation of derivation, precisely because off- shore exploration does not degrade any environment and is not due to effort of any community, considering it is in deep sea. “I think those clamouring for such fund must be reminded that we cannot claim one country and live as if we are on different continents. The concept of nationhood presupposes bringing of people together to enable them to live up their synergy for common good. And that is why reduction of gaps in development and income is not only good politics but good economics as well.” The PIB proposes that 10 per cent of monthly profits of all oil operations both onshore and offshore be paid into the fund for the development of the communities that host oil and gas production. The governors of Niger and Kaduna states had recently opposed the fund and other provision of the PIB including the amount of powers prescribed for the Minister of Petroleum Resources; the governance structure of the three commercial entities – the National Oil Company, the National Gas Company and the National Petroleum Asset Management Company – proposed to replace the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. http://www.punchng.com/news/pib-north-opposes-host-community-fund/ |
The Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency has said the South-West geopolitical zone has the largest cannabis plantations in the country, with 1,404.27 hectares of cannabis farmland destroyed in 2012. Of this, Ekiti State tops the list of states in the zone, with 764 hectares of cannabis farmland. In data SUNDAY PUNCH obtained from the Head, Public Affairs, NDLEA, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, on Friday, the agency said the plantations were concentrated in Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Ogun and Oyo states. It added that Delta and Edo states in the South-South top the list of states with the largest cannabis farms from other zones. NDLEA said, of the 8,052 drug suspects arrested, North-West had the highest with 2,185. This was followed by South-West, with 1,591; South-South, 1,480; North-Central, 1,230; South-East, 960; and North-East, 606. The agency seized 233,700kg of narcotics in the year under review, with the South-South having the highest, with 106,676.716kg. The South-West came second, with 94,036.265kg; North-Central, 14,472.309kg; North-West, 10,357.895kg; North-East, 4,548.268kg; and South-East, 3,608.309kg. On the list of states with the largest volume of drugs seized, Edo led with 81,541.71kg. Ondo had 61,246.35kg; Delta, 23,418.48kg; Ogun, 8,469.99kg; Oyo, 7,232.08kg; and Ekiti, 6,685.23kg. Kano State recorded the highest number of arrests, with 705 suspects – all males. Katsina State came second, with 411 suspects —407 males and four females. Plateau State recorded 384 arrests — 369 males and 15 females. Ekiti State had 383 suspects — 349 males and 34 females. Others include Lagos, with 321 suspects — 305 males and 16 females; Delta, 292 suspects — 243 males and 49 females. Ofoyeju noted that the statistics assisted the NDLEA in resources allocation and personnel deployment in line with the rating of the geographical locations. He added that it helped the agency in planning raid operations and public enlightenment campaign programmes. Ofoyeju said, “The Chairman of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, recently posited that cannabis cultivation has serious implication on national economy and security. “Cannabis eradication is one of our priority concerns. It prevents cannabis from struggling with legitimate crops for arable land. Incentive is taken from the drug cartel, while legitimate farmers are encouraged to grow food and cash crops. Besides cutting off supply to the trafficker and drug addicts, cannabis control promotes national economy and security.” http://www.punchng.com/news/south-west-has-largest-cannabis-farms-ndlea/ |

[b]Will somebody call a doctor, Mohammadu Buhari's hemorrhaging ambitions? And, unless he gets to Aso Rock, and not a hospital – because his kind of disease is not cured in hospitals – he could bleed to death. An ambition becomes an affliction when the one suffering it loses the mental ability to calculate that he is terminal, that inordinate ambitions premised on a ludicrous messianic mindset come with consequences. Although in his proverbial heart of hearts Buhari is deeply convinced he has nothing to offer Nigerians in terms of the “change” he blabs so garrulously and so excitably about, he just wants to be president, anyway. It is his personal mission, his secret covenant with fate, to duplicate Olusegun Obasanjo, who duplicated himself when, twenty years after first becoming “commander-in-chief of the armed forces,” he became commander-in-chief of the armed forces. That, and not the honest commitment to productive public service and change, is the preeminent ambition that has Buhari gripped with frenzy and zest.[/b] |
Presidential candidate for the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 Presidential election, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has said his joining the proposed All Progressives Congress is not all about securing the party presidential ticket for the 2015 elections. He also frowned on the declaration of emergency rule in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. The former military dictator, spoke on Sunday during a Liberty FM Hausa Service programme, Guest of the Week, noting that whether or not he emerged as the party’s standard-bearer, he would remain in politics. According to him, the formation of the APC and his joining the group is to help effect the needed change in the polity and not just about his presidential ambition. He declared, “If APC fails to give me the ticket, I will remain in partisan politics and in the party. Anyone the party picks as its candidate, I will support him because I will remain in the APC.” Besides, Buhari noted that the problem of the country was that of bad leadership, which the APC was out to change. Frowning on the emergency rule in parts of the North, Buhari alleged that innocent civilians were being killed in the states. He added that Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished unlike the “special treatment” given to the Niger Delta militants by the Federal Government Buhari, who also blamed President Goodluck Jonathan for failing to tackle the security problems in the country, argued that the challenges started in the Niger Delta. He said, “What is responsible for the security situation in the country is caused by the activities of Niger Delta militants. “Every Nigerian that is familiar with happenings knows this. The Niger Delta militants started it all. What happened is that the governors of the Niger Delta at that time wanted to win their elections, so they recruited youths and gave guns and bullets to them to use against their opponents to win elections by force. “After the elections, they asked the boys to return the guns, and the boys refused to do so. Because of that the allowance that was being given to them by the governors was stopped.” http://www.punchng.com/news/joining-apc-not-about-2015-presidency-buhari/ |

Hey Hater, at least its the money from their soil, the money is neither from your cocoa nor from your slave-master's groundnut. payless: They shouldn't have allowed the fisheman in their home. Looking at the picture above I have to ask myself how did he become President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He only came there with only one thing on his mind, votes from Yoruba people. Jonathan is a conman that is full of deceit. He shouldn't be taken lightly with his "I once didn't have shoes" that people fell for to vote for him in the first place. Just looking at his retardeen, slowpoke, and his odechukwu azikwe's face, I see an hack job. The slowpoke is enriching his cronies from southsouth through Allison Maduekwe and the whole country coffer getting depleted day by day. Imagine the pardoned southsouth terrorists aka Tompolo, and others are now security experts on national security matters with millions upon millions being paid to them for providing security services to oil installations in Bayelsa and part of Port-Harcourt. |
