₦airaland Forum

please, can someone help solve this argument.
when did waec start adding date of birth on certificates, 1999 or 2000?

when people here keep shouting $2.2b, i will just be like, " do some people reason with their anus". please, someone should convert that money to naira and know if its possible to steal such amount of money? thats about 4.356trillion naira at 198? thats about out budget. does it mean that the country was at standstill? workers salaries were not paid? the weapons they bought, is it with their hand they bought it? no one is saying there was no stealing, but the figure being given is not possible.

Sometimes, the comments I read here shows that most people here are ignorant of what they are even reacting to. If a council is unable to prove to the court that his client is not guilty or prove that that the defendant is guilty, you term the judge corrupt.

i aff hear

Ooni:
Op is a tribalist

kwara is a sort of hybrid. The southern kwarans are related to us yoruba. They have oba and speak a language that is almost our own but they see themseseves different from us and i dont know why. Central kwarans including ilorin was once under oyo control but the modern ilorin was founded and owned by the fulani hence they have an emir. Northern kwarans are hausas and nupes. A non yoruba may confuse kwara as yorubaland because of the language but most of the indigenes are fulani hausa and nupe by blood hence it is a northern state. So op, we never claimed kwara as yorubaland.

Kogi is Igbira igala and okun

even though lagos is an awori and egun city, the state govt website stated that no ethnic group can claim its ownership. Most ibos and yorubas in lagos are visitors. We Yorubas never claimed kwara and lagos as our own unlike ibos that claim abuja so op take your trouble elsewhere.

i like your sincerity especially at the bolded which many will never accept. but if an Ogun or Ondo man can claim citizen of Lagos and can vie for any position in Lagos, why is it a crime for an igbo man or any other tribe to do so since they are both visitors?

abeg, make una tell them to remember us for we wey de stay for Rumuola for PH make we for say follow the enjoy the improvement.

chai, na wa. i see na people wey no do comprehension for secondary full for nairaland forum. efcc say they recovered loot-money, assets give back to the state, and the assets are rotting away, money wey dem give bayelsa, they no fit give account wetin them use d money do and people dey here the call Alamieyeseigha's name. hia, na waoooo

AWONEYAN:
Wetin concern Buhari and PDP wahala, abeg make u na add una wahala join the numerous Nigeria's problem wey Buhari go solve by God's grace

is borno a pdp state or must you comment on what you don't know about?

why is it that only the northerners are against restructuring nigeria? even Tinubus had at a time clamored for it. we can understand their silence on that for now. but the northerners are vehemently against it. what're their fears?

AJINATU:
We all know that Adeyinka Grandson is an unstable character. why his he spewing sh!t from the UK? Why not from the field of operation. His write up is meant to satisfy the appetitie of the ipod yoot. The only people that are being killed in the south west are the ijaw militant and they righfully deserve so.

so in your mind, there was no yoruba person affected abi?.... make una just dey there de fool una selves....they kill ur people and say its nda and ur there hailing them....continu

which brothers is he turning against? do we need a ffk to tell us what's happening in nigeria today or are you just blind to see it?

Ciscogod:
There you go again FFK..

Turing brothers against brothers.
Tribe against tribe
Christian and Muslim supremacy. Just to win so weak, myopic and shallow minded minds.

I was expecting to read why you were detain?
If the case was legal or illegal ?
If you got money from dasuki or not?
If u refund money or not?

WHY is everyone attributing the killings, adoption on yoruba land to NIGER DELTA MILITANTS? I really dont get it. so, any crime committed in the west is being done by the niger delta militants

Rolings:
I agree with you .if really innocent why bring in issue of EFCC going after governors who have immunity same as president . Playing political and tribal card as usual instead of proving the allegations wrong.

you misunderstood her.....read again pls

why do the society or most especially the Nigerian government (states) don't honor hardwork. They easily come on air to announce the ban on street hawking, street begging. some of the physically challenged in our society have found passion in helping to control the traffic on major roads where the traffic wardens are not. Why don't the government employ them permanently .
This guy in the pic below is a typical example. He controls the traffic at the stadium road/Elekahia road junction Port Harcourt during the rush hours. the traffic wardens most times do not resume till past 7:30 am. And he's doing that very well

i wish the govt can make him useful by employing him permanently to encourage others to find something meaningful to do other than street begging.


Mods: kindly do justice to this write up....

just being curious...can the senate sack any minister or DGs of agencies if they fail to appear before the senate summons?
we've seen cases where ministers fail to appear before the senate when they are summoned. the recent being the AGF Malami, who failed to appear before the senate.
if the senate can not do anything if those invited to appear before fail to do so, why do they keep issuing summons?

lawyers in the house, over to una

Kudos9ja:
I think all these Biafra agitator are delusional, I think dey 4get so soon dat "War"' is a big stigma/threat 2 national development...

Let's embrace unity in dis country my fella Nigerians...

#UnitedWeStand #I_Love_9ja


I am AF_Mayjor!!!

i wonder why you guys reason like this? so, any tribe saying they don't want to be part of country means war? Scotland tried seceding from UK, catalan is working to break away from spain. even uk is trying to leave eu..... ur president was even the one who publicly supported Palestine leaving israel.... why didnt he talk about war?
i just tire for una

hahahahahaha...thought some chest beaters said he will not chicken out like gej did when he was threatened. okay na.....our leader de fear for him life...who wan die.

hahahahahahahahaha...just wondering how those who's been beating their chest that buhari would not chicken out like gej did cos he's d fearless one will be feeling now. una go just come here d debate like say una know wetin de happen for villa.

idupaul:
so because there is a travel ban on one governor there will be civil war, billions of dollar was looted yet ther was no civil war, thousands are killed by corruption daily yet no civil war but there will civil war because a governor is stopped from embarking on a meaningless trip.. OP mind yourself oooooooo

the way some of you reason, i doubt if there would be any meaningful progress in this country? the president has no constitutional or civil powers or whatsoever to strip any gov his immunity as doing so flouts the constitution. we should once condemn evil no matter who's involved. your likes are here shouting pdp misruled this country and same people are cheering an open disregard for the constitution and you tell me you guys reason well.

By Reno Omokri

Having worked twice at the Nigerian Presidential villa and once at the British Parliament, if there is anything I have learnt, it is that it is impossible to over inform a leader. You can under inform him, but no matter how much information you give a leader, you cannot give him too much information. In today’s world, strength and weakness are gauged differently than they were, say in 1984. In the millennial age in which we live in, information is power and lack of information is weakness. My concern is that there are a lot of weaknesses in Nigeria’s seat of power because not enough information is being given to President Muhammadu Buhari. I, like other Nigerians, have heard or read reports of ministers in President Buhari’s cabinet being afraid to challenge him or disagree with him. Perhaps unawares, the minister of state for petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, corroborated these reports in a recorded YouTube video now circulating where he revealed that the President ignores his ministers when they bring up issues that he does not want to discuss. Having such anodyne personalities around you just means that you are living in a bubble, seeing things as you want them to be and not as they are. On Friday May 20th, 2016, Dr. Yemi Kale, the Statistician General of the Federation and head of the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics revealed that Nigeria’s economy had not grown in the first quarter of the year but had rather shrunk by 0.36%, the worst contraction in 25 years! Since the announcement was made, there has been various reactions with pundits pointing at this or the other as being the cause of this setback. But I am convinced beyond any reasonable doubts that this negative trend owes more to President Muhammadu Buhari’s utterances on our economy and polity than to any other single causative factor. The bigger problem is that even though I suspect that his ministers know that what I have just said is true, they would rather pander to the President and like Dr. Chris Ngige, say that Nigerians are lucky to have President Buhari (obvious Ngige does not know the meaning of luck). In the last eleven months, the President had traversed the globe and has spoken about Nigeria’s economy as if he was the chief undertaker of our polity rather than the chief marketer that he is meant to be. Of what benefit is it to the President’s agenda or to Nigeria’s economic well being for him to go to foreign nations and instead of highlighting the positive things that are happening in Nigeria, he begins to regale his hosts with the most unsavory stories about Nigeria. And some of the stories the President tells are just that-tales. They are not factual. At best they are arguable. You go to India for a summit where other world leaders are competing with you for the attention of venture capitalists and foreign investors and while your counterparts are talking about how great their countries are, you tell the audience how everybody in your country is corrupt except you and oh, can they come and invest in your country? Only a foolish investor would go and invest in a country whose President thinks his citizens are ‘criminals’ (as the President said to the Telegraph of UK in February) and whose officials are ‘fantastically corrupt’ (as the President said in agreement with British PM David Cameron when questioned by Sky News). The President speaks on the Nigerian economy and polity without any filters and his comments are causing his chickens to roost with devastating consequences for all of us. Never in the history of Nigeria has there been such a divestment of investment as we have seen in the past year. Truworths has pulled out of Nigeria, Virgin Atlantic has closed up shop, Iberia is pulling out, RenCap is pulling funds from Nigeria, both Alquity Investment Management Ltd. and Duet Asset Management Ltd. are divesting their Nigeria holding. Zenith Bank laid off 1,200 staff, FCMB let go 700 employees, Ecobank sacked 50% of its top management staff. The President of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Tony Ejinkeonye revealed that in just two months 50,000 staff were laid off in Abuja alone. The results are telling. A little over a year ago, Nigeria was projected by CNNMoney to be the third fastest growing economy in the world behind China and Qatar yet just two weeks ago the International Monetary Fund released its World Economic Outlook and Nigeria is not even among the top 15 fastest growing economies in Africa let alone the world! And when you try to raise the alarm, the refrain from the government and its horde of unofficial spokesmen is that the downturn is caused by the fall in crude prices. Yet this logic is flawed. The government’s own economic monitoring agency, the National Bureau of Statistics itself reported that the exponential growth Nigeria enjoyed especially from 2012 to its 2014 climax (when our economy overtook South Africa to be Africa’s largest economy) was spurred not by the oil sector, but “this growth was largely driven by improved activities in the telecommunications, building and construction, hotel and restaurant and business services” to quote the NBS. Yes, oil accounts for something like 90-95 percent of our foreign exchange revenues but it only accounts for a mere 15% of our GDP. The service sector and the commercial and real sector are the engine or used to be the engine of our economic growth. But these sectors are heavily capital and technology intensive and require cooperation with foreign investors and when you consistently bad mouth your economy and its regulators investor confidence tanks and the result is what we are seeing today. I support President Buhari’s anti corruption war but it should not be a substitute for sound economic ideas or policies. And the way the President has carried out his anti corruption crusade is in itself self sabotaging and feeds the narrative of those who say that Nigeria is far too complex and dynamic a country to be run by someone who should be quietly collecting his pension. And President Buhari’s behavior is flowing down the pyramid. There is a contagious effect in the utterances of major figures in his administration. For instance, when Vice President Osinbajo tells the world that the Jonathan administration looted $15 Billion in security contracts, many people in the West who like to read such stories to justify their hidden opinion that the Black man cannot govern himself, will clap for him. Coming from the nation’s own Vice President, the Western press will report the news as a fact. At that level, such a statement carries the weight of an admission. But then ask yourself, what was the entire security budget for the five years that Jonathan was President of Nigeria? In 2011, defense and security had a budget of ₦348 billion or just over $2 billion. In 2012 it skyrocketed to ₦921 billion or $5.7 billion. It grew to ₦1.055 trillion in 2013 or $6 billion. In 2014, ₦968 billion was budgeted for defence and security or $5.8 billion. The 2015 budget was passed in April and President Jonathan handed over to President Buhari a month later so I cannot see how the previous administration could have ‘chopped’ that money. So of the $19 billion budgeted for defence and security while former President Jonathan was in office, how could $15 billion have been looted when more than half that amount went to paying salaries? Did Vice President Osinbajo think this accusation through? The President and his vice with their cabinet and their political appointees are not a court. They cannot convict anybody. As such when they speak this way, what it amounts to is propagandized activity. In an anti corruption war one must separate activity from results. Results are convictions from a court after due and diligent prosecution. And when you look at it from that perspective, this administration has been delivering activity and not results. For instance, then candidate Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the All Progressive Congress, had called the subsidy payments made by the Jonathan administration a fraud! They claimed that the amount was too high at ₦1.1 trillion in 2014. Well if fuel subsidy had been a fraud, the first thing that should have happened naturally when President Muhammadu Buhari took over was that the amount should have reduced, but it DID NOT reduce. As a matter of fact, Nigeria spent over $5 billion on fuel subsidy in 2015 and President Buhari was in power for most of that year! The point I am making here is that the elections are over. President Buhari and his administration should stop tarnishing the image of Nigeria in the mistaken belief that they are rubbishing the person of former President Jonathan. The President should take in the big picture and realize that you need to be below somebody in order to pull him down. One year has come and gone and has seemingly been wasted pointing fingers in blame instead of at solutions. The time for blame games have gone. Only last month, President Buhari complained that the Sahara desert was advancing southward. He should also realize that that is not the only thing going south. The Nigerian economy is going south at perhaps a faster rate and blaming others for it will never stem the tide. The President should focus on marketing his plans and policies when he travels abroad instead of de marketing the plans and policies of former President Jonathan’s administration. It has been said that if you want a conversation with a habitual complainer to end abruptly, just ask him how he intends to fix the problem. That is the question Nigerians want answered by President Buhari. Under former President Jonathan, Nigeria’s economy exploded and became the largest economy in Africa and the 24th largest economy in the world. Let it not be said that under President Buhari that economy collapsed like a pack of clouds because the hand that should have steered the ship was too busy pointing an accusing finger.

Hausa /fulani cow wisdom is when you clap for northern governors for imposing sharia law on everybody in the north including other ethic nationalities and banning them from selling alcohol and running hotels which were their main source of living and you condemn Fayose for banning fulani herdsmen who are well known for their nefarious and murderious activities . If sharia could not consider impacts on other tribes then let Fayose ban not look back. Our people returned home when sharia was introduced and others relocated to other states where the was no sharia . Let fulanis in Ekiti go home or relocate. When northern govs introduced sharia, they never knew that other tribes have the right to move freely and establish any business of their choices in Nigeria? Northern govs regimented citizens of other tribes and Fayose the great lion has come out with ban on their people in his and they are threating to court . Go now.other states will ban herdsmen as well. If people are not free to do some businesses in north,northern people should not be free to do some businesses in the south as well of which cattle rearing is one.

i wonder why people keep comparing two things-gsm and pms as one. these are two different things all together. when gsm came, it had nothing to do with ordinary nigerian. the people that could afford it did, while those that didnt, relaxed and hoped they would one day which didnt affect any other sector in nigeria. but petrol controls virtually everything in nigeria. small scale biz depends on these as we are not sure where the power sector is heading. prices of things in d market have gone up, transport fare same. and its biting hard on average nigerians not the rich or politicians. electricity tarrif has been increased despite one not sure of 5 hour power supply. please, bring up another argument not gsm era.

reyscrub:
Shall we say dat ASUU got it wrong?

Does ASUU understand the government of subsidy?

Shall we say dat 70& of ASUU members fully support the position of their union regarding going on strike due to subsidy remover?

I & many of my colleague do not support the union decision of embarking on industrial action.

At our Congress today many did not support ASUU going on strike but as long as the national has made up their mind in joining NLC, what else.

The point is dat let us give the present government a trial for some period and see what shall happened to the price and economy.

Why Jonathan's subsidy remover was greeted with nation wide protest and strike was dat he was not trusted and transparent with public fund management unlike Buhari regime.

Remember gsm service provider case dat at first, it was so expensive to belong, but today due to multi player of competitors, any one can easily acquire it.

My opinion for you.

Thanks

So an Igbo CP is trying to conceal and twist the truth?

i did my internship then in nta enugu...i had the opportunity of asking their manager news, why they always give false information to the public as regards the ethnic crises in nigeria....he said that if they should always give the actual figure, that, nigeria will go up in flames...thats why not up till the social media came up, they hardly give you accurate figures of the people affected and always give distorted news to calm the tension. and dont forget that the cp is under the employ of the fg. he can only say what he is asked to say. so, when you understand how nigeria works......

WhatsApp, owned by Facebook, is putting “end to end” encryption in effect. The move thrusts WhatsApp further into a standoff between tech companies and law enforcement officials over access to digital data. Credit Patrick Sison/Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — WhatsApp, the messaging app owned by Facebook and used by more than one billion people, on Tuesday introduced full encryption for its service, a way to ensure that only the sender and recipient can read messages sent using the app.

Known as “end-to-end encryption,” it will be applied to photos, videos and group text messages sent among people in more than 50 languages across the world, including India, Brazil and Europe. Previously, only one-to-one text messages were fully encrypted.

“Every day we see stories about sensitive records being improperly accessed or stolen,” WhatsApp said in a blog post. “And if nothing is done, more of people’s digital information and communication will be vulnerable to attack in the years to come.”

“Fortunately, end-to-end encryption protects us from these vulnerabilities,” the company said.

The move thrusts WhatsApp further into a standoff between tech companies and law enforcement officials over access to digital data, one that pits Silicon Valley’s civil libertarian ideals against the federal government’s concerns over national security. Increased encryption will make it more difficult, if not impossible, for the authorities to intercept WhatsApp communications for investigations.

The government has faced similar issues with companies like Telegram, Signal and Wickr Me, messaging services that also offer encrypted communications.

The debate over access to digital data erupted in February when a federal court in California ordered Apple to help crack open an iPhone used by a gunman in the San Bernardino, Calif., rampage last year. Apple’s chief executive, Timothy D. Cook, resisted the order, saying that the company needed to protect individuals’ privacy. Law enforcement officials, including the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, have criticized encryption as a hindrance to investigations, including in terrorism cases.

Last month, President Obama said in a speech that he opposed the stance on encryption taken by technology companies. The Justice Department later dropped its demand that Apple help open the iPhone of the San Bernardino killer after saying that it had found another, undisclosed, way into the device.

End-to-end encryption for WhatsApp is of particular concern to the F.B.I., considering the service’s huge subscriber base and large international footprint. With increasing amounts of communications now sent across messaging services, encrypted texts, video, photos and the like may end up being more problematic for law enforcement than locked devices. The encryption on WhatsApp will be turned on by default, so users will not be required to enable it themselves.

WhatsApp has previously clashed with law enforcement over its digital data. Last month, the federal police in Brazil arrested a Facebook executive for not turning over information from a WhatsApp account in a drug trafficking case. The executive was released.

In the United States, the Justice Department has been discussing how to proceed in a continuing criminal investigation in which a federal judge approved a wiretap, but investigators were stymied by WhatsApp’s encryption.

we complain about the unsolicited sms(s) from the network providers asking you subcsribe to one caller tunes or the other. as annoying they seem, you bear it and ignore them cos its beyond you as you cant stop them since the consumer protection right is dead in nigeria. but they have now improved on their game now. yesterday, this number "01 440 8482" called me on my glo line, i picked. the call dropped. the next thing i saw was an sms on my fone, "dear customer, you have successfully subscribe to........caller tunes. 50 naira has been deducted from your account........". please, is this not day light robbery? do they have to rob people just to make money? NCC should do something about this....

irunooboo:
I thinks it's time for the national assembly to ammend the constitution and declare seccession an act of treason punishable by firing squad Any one supporting biafra should be sentenced to death or fed to lions. This will gradually kill the evil ideology called Biafra. We hate biafra and it shall never come. The buratai military should invade the east and do the needful

why not sponsor the bill....amending the constitution will be a waste..it should rather be, kill ALL Igbos so that you wont hear about Biafra again.

– The fresh charges filed against Dasuki for his past military crimes

– Abacha marked Dasuki out for persecution for confronting his decision in case of MKO Abiola

– Dasuki was pardoned by Abubakar and left army legally despite all claims

The former national security adviser Sambo Dasuki, who is currently investigated for $2.1bn arms purchase scam, reportedly fell out with Sani Abacha, the late military dictator, over MKO Abiola.

Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, often referred to as M. K. O. Abiola, contested for the presidency in 1993, and is commonly regarded as the supposed winner of the inconclusive election since no official final results were published till date.

PRNigeria reports that Dasuki told former military dictator to release Abiola, who was then in custody, and allow him to become the president.

The report was a response to the claim of the Department of State Services (DSS) that Dasuki left the army without proper resignation.

However, a statement unveiled by Dasuki’s attorney, Rotimi Jacobs said his client officially left the military in 1994 and his exit in the army was gazetted by the Federal government through the former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar in 1999.

The report reads in part: “Sani Abacha, the late military dictator, held Dasuki in contempt and marked him down for persecution, when he opened up his mind on the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election, positing that winner of the election, the late MKO Abiola, be installed as Nigeria’s president.

“Dasuki was among the officers who confronted the late Abacha and insisted that MKO Abiola be freed and allowed to become president. This led to the premature retirement of Dasuki and other officers in 1994.

“The persecution that followed forced him into exile where he joined forces with other patriotic Nigerians to claim for the return of democracy in Nigeria. Some top politicians in the current administration also fled into exile to sustain campaigns for the enthronement of democracy. Dasuki and others were declared wanted by the Abacha’s police.

“Meanwhile, in an official gazette No 33 Volume 86, Dasuki was granted clemency and pardon along with others on March 4, 1999 by Abdulsalam Abubakar, the then head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, for their innocence and meritorious service to their fatherland.” Ahmed Raji, counsel to the former NSA, also dismissed the claim by DSS, saying Dasuki is not a fugitive but a lawfully retired officer. Raji said Dasuki left the army in 1994, adding that his exit from the military was officially gazetted in 1999 by the federal government through Abdulsalami Abubakar, former head of state.

“The allegation of fugitive against Dasuki could not hold water on stand in the face of the law in view of the official gazette of the federal government that confirmed his retirement from the military,” he said.

“It is curious that the prosecution counsel who initially claimed ignorance of the reason behind the denial of bail is now coming up with these excuses… I am tempted to believe that my learned friend Rotimi Jacob (SAN) must be genuinely mixing-up facts or mistake of identity.

“The allegation is baseless, unwarranted and malicious because his exit was in the gazette of the federal government. We accordingly urge those holding Dasuki in the custody in flagrant disobedience to the court order that granted him bail to have a rethink and respect the rule of law.”

Last week, Rotimi Jacob, counsel to the anti-graft commission, in the trial of former NSA on supposed money laundering, had told Justice Husseini Baba Yusuf that Dasuki was being detained by DSS in spite of the bail granted him by the judge because of his past in the military.

Dasuki is already facing three trials with a slew of charges in connection with looting billions of dollars that were supposed to go towards fighting Boko Haram insurgents.

But despite being granted bail in December, Dasuki has been kept in custody by Nigeria’s intelligence agency without access to his legal counsel.

Hospitable and accomodative Yoruba people. It is only in Yoruba land that you will witness a foreigner becoming a representative of the people, and people don't have problem with it.

Just to elaborate on Yoruba hospitality and generosity, the popular Oshodi family are not even Yoruba. But they have been good guests for centuries, and we have accepted them as one of our own. That same Oshodi is named after one of the most popular area in Lagos. There are thousands of family like that all over Yoruba land.

If you are a good guest, we will welcome you with open hands and make you one of us by being good host. But if you think you just want to be nuisance, we will give you equal measure of Ill-treatment.

The right allows an ogun or osun state to be a governor in lagos applies to any other tribe in lagos....if u had d numeric strenght, u cant allow anoda ttibe to hav won d election there....
