Like I have opined many times this govt interest is to tame/kill the ND militants (most especially Tompolo) and keep the oil flowing not in genuine dialogue.

Unfortunately MEND and others in their greedy rush for recognition and pecuniary gains realized this too late.

True.


I am eagerly waiting for Putin response after Trump inauguration that'll cause "discomfort" to the US.

Obama ended his presidency on a bad footing by fighting another person's war (loser killary and the establishment) instead of maintaining the remainder of his battered image.

Politics › Prioritizing Our Considerations For 2017 by TheFreeOne(op):
It will be an understatement to say things are hard presently. 2016 has a been one year Nigerians never wish to experience again vis-à-vis the challenges / sufferings many are going through.

And in the light of these I hereby share a message received:

CONSIDERATIONS FOR 2017
________________________________
1. ON EARNING:
Never depend on single income. Make investment to
create a second chance.
_________________________________
2. ON SPENDING:
If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.
________________________________
3. ON SAVINGS:
Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.
________________________________
4. ON TAKING RISK:
Never test the depth of a river with both feet.
________________________________
5. ON INVESTMENT:
Do not put all eggs in one basket.
________________________________
6. ON EXPECTATIONS:
Honesty is a very expensive gift. Do not expect it from cheap people.
________________________________
7. Past is a waste paper, present is a newspaper, and future is a question paper. Come out of your past, control the present, and secure the future.
________________________________
8. When bad things happen in your life, you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you or you can let it strengthen you.
_______________________________
9. Our eyes are in the front because it is more important to look ahead than to look backwards.
_______________________________
10. We use pencil when we were young, but now we use pens. Do you know why? Because mistakes in childhood can easily be erased, unlike now.
And for the many smarting and fighting hard not to fall may ye all find strength for victory in this recession and may our efforts comes to fruition as we work for a better life / country in the coming year.

Though a lot of Nigerians couldn't afford food, christmas chicken / turkey and clothes for their children due to the state of the economy but we pray 2017 be better.

I hereby wish NAIRALANDERS / NIGERIANS COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON & A PROSPEROUS 2017.

Christian leaders failed their followers by not speaking out strongly as expected. The fraudulent spiritual highwaymen are mostly concerned about tithes, offering and setting up businesses and academic institutions with tuition fee that majority of their members can't afford.

Politics › Reps Want Price Of Petrol Reduced To N70 by TheFreeOne(op): 7:04pm On Nov 29, 2016
The House of Representatives has advised the Petroleum Products Prices Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) to review the current price template for petrol and reduce the price to N70.

The call followed a motion by a member, Abubakar Fulata, titled “Urgent Need to Review the Petroleum Price Template”.

The lawmaker expressed disappointment recent reports suggesting the government may again increase the price of petrol in the country.

The government has denied the report.

Mr. Fulata said the current template for petrol pricing could be reviewed downwards without affecting the profit margin of marketers and transporters.

“I am aware that the current cost of freighting PMS stands at N109.1, Lightering expenses N4.56, Nigeria Ports Authority charges N0.84, NIMASA charges N0.22, Financing N2.51 and Jetty put charges at N0.60.

“Storage charges N2.00, retailers margin N6.00, transport allowance N3.36, dealers margin N2.36, bridging fund N6.20 and marine transport average put at N0.15 bringing the total cost to N137.81,” he said.

He said the landing cost of petrol remained N119.74, while the distribution cost and margins of marketers stood at N18.37.

“Thus, the total of both the landing and distribution costs is N138.11, while marketers are allowed to sell the product within the range of N140 and N145 per litre,” he said.

The lawmaker said over 90 per cent of the current price of petrol in Nigeria is accounted for by transport related charges amounting to N124.34.

He said that foreign vessels charge higher for lifting petrol because Nigerian carriers that were supposed to lift 50 per cent of the products lack the capacity to do so.

Mr. Fulata said the NPA’s inability to dredge the ports despite collecting N0.84 for every litre of petrol, had caused Nigerian users to pay N4.56 for every litre of petrol they buy.

“Bridging is supposed to be an annual event only when refineries are carrying out their turn around maintenance which should not exceed three months,” he said.

“However, due to the fact that pipelines linking the various depots have been vandalised or in a state of disrepair, bridging has remained a permanent feature of the oil industry in Nigeria.”

He said if the pipelines linking the various depots and refineries could be fixed and secured, the bridging fund could be reduced to N2.00 per litre instead of the current N6.20.

“Also a realistic template would bring down the price of petrol to N70.04,” he added.

The House urged the NPA to dredge all harbours within a period of one year to enable ships dock in them.

The House also set up an ad-hoc committee to liaise with the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources on the review of the price of petrol.

Politics › Tinubu Is A Priceless Asset To APC – PMB by TheFreeOne(op): 9:08pm On Nov 28, 2016
By Jonathan Isaiah

…says Tinubu didn’t work against the party in Ondo Guber

President Buhari Muhammadu Buhari has dismissed rumours that he and the APC leadership are at odds with one of the Party chiefs, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, describing such rumours as unfounded and mischievous.

The senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said the President was highly embarrassed by such “suggestions” and that President was in regular contact with Tinubu before, during and after the Ondo gubernatorial election.

He said any suggestions that the President and the party machinery were working to destroy Tinubu had no foundation in truth or any credibility, explaining that the President was impressed by Tinubu’s assurance not to work against the party in Ondo and he honoured his words.

The presidential media aide also explained that President Buhari regards Tinubu as a priceless political asset to the party whose immeasurable contributions to the development and progress of the ruling party are known to all.

Malam Garba Shehu advised rumour mongers stop spreading the seeds of discord and animosity between the President and Tinubu or the party, adding that the President is proud of the Jagaba and his pivotal role in the party and the movement.

President Buhari commended Tinubu’s spirit of comradeship in promptly congratulating Rotimi Akeredolu who was elected Governor.

The president also noted that at a time his administration is preoccupied with governance issues, rumours of divisions and alleged scheming within the party are counterproductive to internal unity and cohesion in APC.

He appealed to APC members and supporters to ignore rumours that could harm party unity.

Politics › Nigerians To Pay VAT On Passports – Fowler by TheFreeOne(op): 8:46pm On Nov 28, 2016
The Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) on Monday said Nigerians will soon pay Value Added Tax (VAT) before obtaining their passports.

Mr Tunde Fowler said this at the 136th meeting of the Joint Tax Board which had the theme: “ Increased Inter-Agency Co-operation to Enhance Tax Compliance and Optimise Revenue Collection’’ in Abuja.

He also announced that Nigerians who either want a new passport or renew an old one must show evidence of being a tax payer.

We did take a position and I believe it would be implemented in the very near future that before you get any services from the immigration department: renewal of passports etc, you’d have to show that you are a tax payer.

“These things are normal all over the world, In an effort to serve Nigerians and Nigeria better.

“People believe that payment of tax is a burden and I’ll repeat that you only pay tax on income and profits.

“So if you reside in Nigeria and you are benefiting from being a Nigerian resident, it is only fair that you contribute to the system that makes you enjoy that standard of living.’’

He said the FIRS set a target to increase the individual taxpayer data base by 10 million by Dec. 31.

“I’m glad with our co-operation; we’ve been able to attain 30 per cent of that. We’ve been able to get three million individual taxpayers across the nation.

“I’d like to congratulate Kano State for leading the pack by increasing the database by 944,000 followed by Lagos with 306,000 then Kaduna and Plateau,’’ he said.

When asked by newsmen what he meant by citizens paying VAT on international passport, Fowler said ‎”every good and service except from items that are not VATABLE has to be charged VAT.

”What I can tell you is that as we move forward, as you obtain services from government they will ask you to show evidence of tax payment”.

The Corps Marshall of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Boboye Oyeyemi, lamented that the FRSC was being owed N700 million for number plates production.

He also decried the high rate of fake documentation at ports, saying “if we can strengthen inter-agency collaboration, we’ll get more results now that the focus is on IGR’’.

Shiites not recognising you and Buhari as governor and president respectively shouldn't be a yardstick for genocide against IMN members.

The police should have been deployed to arrest them if they constitute nuisance to the public and disrespect to rule of law instead of brutal assaults by soldiers.

And can Elrufai tell us what he has done in prosecuting those military men involved in killings of Shiites?
Politics › Shiites Don’t Recognize Buhari, Me As President, Governor – El-rufai by TheFreeOne(op): 5:04pm On Nov 28, 2016
Kaduna state Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has accused the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) also known as the Shiites Islamic sect of refusing to recognize Muhammadu Buhari as the President of the country as well as their failure to recognize him as the Governor of the state.

El-Rufai gave the statement while speaking with journalists on Sunday. He said that the group was outlawed by the state government because its leader Sheihk Ibrahim El Zakzaky and members have refused to respect constituted authorities and their activities amount to running a parallel government against the state.

The Governor says the state received the report of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry that looked into the clashes between the IMN and army which concluded that the IMN poses a threat to the peace, security and good governance of Kaduna State.

“The IMN does not recognise the constitution of Nigeria, they do not recognise Buhari as president of Nigeria, they do not recognise me as the Governor of Kaduna state. Because they have their governor, yes, they had, I think he was killed during the clash.”

He said the IMN apart from being an illegal religious organisation, was in the habit of harassing and intimidating members of the public with impunity for several years.

Politics › Re: Buhari’s Boys Deliver Ondo, Target Ekiti And Osun Next by TheFreeOne: 4:36pm On Nov 28, 2016
vodutive:

you said Ondo will never vote for PDP again, then you say Ondo votes for individuals not party. Do you not see the contradiction in your statements?
I simply pointed out that Ondo has voted for more parties than any other state in the SW. If you were a thinking man like the many scholars your state has produced you will realise there was nothing wrong in the staement I made and In fact you simply explained why it is that Ondo is always moving from one party to another and in fact may end up with PDP one day contrary to your statement.


The other stuff you talk about I am not interested in. I watched the debate and all 3 present are buffoons!! You have a chance to ask your opponents a question and your question is will you support me if I win? This is the same way you voted for Buhari when he said he will create jobs and nobody asked him how? Our present bunch of politicians lack ideas even the ones parading SAN in their titles because they are all a product of an environment where success is not a result of intellect. These are the kind of people you are bothering yourselves about? I am not from Ondo state and Ondo state in the grand scheme of things is a lesser state in the SW, The important states in the SW are Lagos Ogun and Oyo. Nobody cares about Osun, Ekiti or Ondo except indigenes from these states. Nobody is about to relocate to these areas because this person or that person won. You have no industries, no viable middle class population so you are unattractive as an investment destination for consumer focused companies and you contribute little to the country's GDP. These states will still be as undeveloped in 30 years as they are today irrespective of who is governor. Tell me what is so attractive about Ondo that I should be wasting my time? Ondo ekiti and osun only have relevance when it's time for politics. So please don't think I have any interest in the affairs of Ondo state beyond a passing comment which has now exceeded it's lifespan. I simply made an observation which you have unwittingly affirmed.
I don't know where you get the impression that I claimed ondo will never vote for PDP cos i have always been against against imposition by politicians.

There's everything wrong with you calling my state anfani adugbo cos no sensible person will do such except for insult.

Agreed the debate should have been better and you can check my comments on same. And I did not vote for buhari, I was one of those that campaigned against his candidacy before 2015 elections cos the dude has no business being in government as can be seen from my posts on this forum.

And if you have no interest in ondo state it will be better you keep your warp mentality to yourself than passing derogatory comments about a people cos you want to make passing comment.

My Original post was a light hearted joke, but since you responded in the manner you did:

doesn't your own response above negate your own assertion that ondo will never vote PDP again? What if A good man acceptable to the people of Ondo contests under PDP? So who is the ignoramus now?
So it's now a light joke cos you've been found wanting?

See I hardly talked about parties regarding ondo election, my stand has always been there should be a level playing field and fairness from INEC/FG for all contestants not that a particular party will never be voted for.

Also I have always been against the brigandage and shenanigans within APC/PDP in trying to impose candidates with the assertion that the final choice is with the electorates.

And if you care to note I am not a member of any political party though I supported Oke. In 2012 I supported Mimoko whilst some members of my family back home voted for either Oke/Akeredolu such is common in ondo state cos we are independent minded and do not believe in herd mentality / godfatherism.
