Seems a good many Nigerians passed by Jeffrey Archer's fine writing

The wool is slowly but surely coming off

There is a deep seated problem with the way Nigeria is administered currently that reaches through the very fabric of its existence

Don't wait! Spill whatever beans you have NOW!

The hmmmmmmnn wey I want talk don hook for my throat!

1) If the NSA (Dasuki's former position) is involved and
2) if we are to believe APC's reasons for prosecuting Dasuki in the first place (misuse of funds for 2015 election) and
3) if PMB is fine with the NSA's current position

Is it not safe to assume that the covert operation will end in 2019?

A trial will convince you

It appears these two have had a slight misunderstanding

SaharaReporters have pre-emptively disowned this statement

I believe it is safe to say that El-Rufai and Saharareporters have been communicating!

The money may belong to Ignatius Agarbi!

Before you start conjecturing google 'Clean Sweep Ignatius'

Leiman100:
do you know how to read at al or you are just been mischievious

Apparently I just wasted my time responding to you 2posts above.

I can tell what side your bread is buttered

Leiman100:
all this lengthy write up just to defend Dogara, i dont know what is wrong with some people

Take a deep breath and read

three:
This is beginning to sound like "I don't sign cheques"

[In addition]

As outlined in the thread below

https://www.nairaland.com/3734151/dogaras-challenge-el-rufai-presents-specifics

El-Rufai supposedly published SPECIFICS of the Kaduna State Security Vote in response to Dogara's challenge.

UNFORTUNATELY NO SUCH THING HAPPENED!!!!

In the release from El-Rufai the following claim is made

5.Details of actual spending in 2015 for security and indeed every line item in the State budgets are also publicly available via the annual report of the Accountant-General accessible on www.kdsg.gov.ng.

When you go to the link www.kdsg.gov.ng there is NO SUCH document!!!

When you search for words mentioned in the release like 'drone' and 'cctv' the search returns this result - "sorry, but nothing matched your search terms. Please try again with some different keywords).

The closest thing to what is described is the 2015 Audited Account of the State http://kdsg.gov.ng/kaduna-state-publishes-audited-accounts-for-y2015/ again there is NO SECURITY VOTE SPECIFICS or LINE ITEMS!!!!!

The speaker has since published his payslip knowing fully well that this tells only a quarter of the story! but since El-Rufai can get away with throwing up dust and propaganda why not try?

In all this, Nigeria and Nigerians loose out funny thing is they're too busy taking sides, hustling, watching BBN to pay attention.

The only set of people who have steadily and consistently grown fat (in consonance with their bank balances) since 1999 are these POLITICIANS!


You can FOOL all the people sometime and in Nigeria you can FOOL ALL the people ALL the time

Propaganda is successful when a populace is uneducated and unenlightened and the so called elite have cut their deals.

notice that the budget for education over successive governments has been relatively miniscule, this is no coincidence

If in spite of the bolded portion above this appears to be written in defense of Dogara then I honestly don't think I can help you

This is beginning to sound like "I don't sign cheques"

If the EFCC gets tagged as 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' it would be even more difficult to secure convictions in court.

[in addition]

silastemplar:
i think it was sahara reporters that linked the money to the woman not the EFCC.

Thanks but EFCC had total control of the 'crime scene'. They got the report, they chose when to go for the 'bust'. SaharaReporters 'source' cannot but be an EFCC operative outside of being the whistleblower him/herself. But then if the source was indeed the whistleblower then they would have gotten confirmed info on the identity of the owner of the apartment.

Meanwhile in all this, who may I ask recorded the bust and then made that video available to the press?

Me?

In summary EFCC provided the details of the bust to SaharaReporters and yes they (SaharaReporters) probably were the ones that 'searched' for a suitable 'owner' of the apartment.

Long story short EFCC leaked details of the bust to the press. This can compromise their prosecution.

This right here is No. 1 on the "How To Bungle Financial Reportage for Dummies"

Who will believe you tomorrow?

The day I stopped taking saharareporters seriously was the day they started running ads on their website!!!

Does Wikileaks run ads on their site? NO
'Activist' running ads on website like omojuwa and co so when the 'reporting' is 'Hot and Juicy' and site gets many views they get more money?!!!

Is that not Conflict of Interest!

Activist that runs ads on website, is that one an activist?!!!

I have since resigned myself to the fact that a good number of Nigerians do not appreciate the principle of 'Conflict of interest'.

naijalander:
Activists need money too. How many lobbyist groups exist in Nigeria, how many local NGOs are financially stable enough to sponsor activism? Let's be objective here. It doesn't make them any less righteous, just saying.

ExInferis:
Saharareporters is a newspaper. They're in the business of making money giving access to news.

motherfucker:
How do you want them to generate money? Do you pay them? What is wrong in running ads? You can create yours and give it for free. Did they tell you that they get hosting for free? The guys who post the contents, do they do it for free?

Once their source of income is attached to adverts it means the more Salacious and titillating the news is, the more income they get.

Saharareporters are in the habit of pushing salacious narratives.

If memory serves me right they started ads just after the Yar'adua/Turai cabal issue circa 2010. SaharaReporters launched circa 2006 so they operated for 4 years without ads. Why then the need for ads? Are they owing somebody?

Saharareporters are not a 'newspaper' which is why they get away with a lot of false accusations. If they want to enjoy income from ads they must submit to regulation.

When someone earns his living from online ads do you imagine that the person's reportage will be unbiased?

An activist signs up to a life on the edge! An activist is all in. Knowing that the next meal is not guaranteed because of the principles doggedly stood by.

A lot of so-called Activists and NGOs as well as Civil Society Groups are Cashtivists!

'Activism' is their bread and butter and school fees just like a regular nine to five!

Dat one na Activist?

hucienda:
I looked at the episode and laughed. Laughed real hard.

Those two - members of the same party - APC - sure do know how to fool their followers.

Cunny man die. Cunny man bury am.

The sad thing is the way some people champion either of these funny individuals - Someone makes a spurious claim and then posts links to nowhere and people are hailing him??!!!

New law to bar LAWMA from waste collection

A new environmental law being pushed by the Lagos would bar the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) from direct involvement in waste collection and recycling activities.

An executive bill to actualise this, titled ‘Harmonised Environmental Bill’, is currently with the State House of Assembly, and when passed, would also enable the government to further open up the space for local and international investors, interested in waste management and recycling in Nigeria’s commercial city.

The waste management agency was first created in 1977 as Lagos State Refuse Disposal Board (LSRDB), under Edict 9 of 1977, with Powell Duffen Pollution Control Consultants of Canada as managers.

In 1981, its name was changed to Lagos State Waste Disposal Board (LSWDB) because of the added responsibilities for industrial-commercial waste collection and disposal, drain clearing and disposal of derelict/scrapped vehicles. In December 1991, its current name, the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) was christened under Edict No. 55, which made the agency to be responsible for the collection and disposal of municipal and industrial waste, as well as for the provision of commercial waste services to the state and local governments.

Lagos with an estimated population of 20 million people generates some 13,000 tonnes of wastes daily, which presents a huge investment opportunity in waste management and recycling. But ill-equipped state-owned LAWMA and a couple of licensed private operators, barely scratch the surface, leaving millions of residents at the mercy of illegal cart pushers, who collect domestic wastes and dump into the canals.

The new law would also seek to harmonise the functions and responsibilities of the various state agencies in the environment sector, including Lagos State Parks and Gardens (LASPARK), Lagos State Signage and Advertisement (LASSA), Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) among others, to eliminate the duplication of the functions.

The expected law would restrict the responsibility of LAWMA to that of a regulator and monitor, while encouraging private investors to up the task of waste collection, management and recycling.

Mudashiru Obasa, speaker of the Lagos State House Assembly, told BusinessDay on Friday, that the lawmakers were fully behind the ‘Cleaner Lagos Initiative’ of the executive, aimed at giving the environment a new identity. Obasa said the legislators were cutting short their recess, to resume legislative work today (Monday).

“The environmental bill is one of the bills we are returning to the chamber to deliberate on. We consider it as important as the executive considers it,” said the speaker, who represents Agege constituency 1, in the House.

Babatunde Adejare, the commissioner for the environment, had earlier informed that the government was awaiting the legislature to legally clear the coast, for the state to conclude a Public Private Partnership (PPP) deal that would see a Europe based firm invest about N85 billion in domestic waste management, over the next five years.

Adejare said the contractual agreement was part of an initiative to tackle waste management in the state, and as well tap into the wealth opportunities inherent in waste management.

“Waste management is now big business. We are pulling out the PSP operators from domestic waste management in the state and they will now concentrate on the commercial waste management and collection which is more lucrative. The new contractor, a renowned international firm, will focus on domestic waste management, and will invest about N85 billion over the next five years,” he said.

As part of the initiative, the commissioner said the state will take delivery of some 600 units of brand new Mercedez Benz waste compactor vehicles.

Quite Sad

A government that campaigned with #YourLagos and Our Lagos is Your Lagos

http://akinwunmiambode.com/tag/our-lagos-your-lagos/

I guess like Minister Lai said - when you campaign you say one thing when you win....

Change the Political Structure to a modified Parliamentary system with regions as Federating Units instead of States

Reduce emoluments and allowances of political office holders by 80%

Invest massively in education and power generation. (an intelligent and empowered citizenry is a safeguard to good governance)
