Goodluck! Goodluck!! Goodluck!!!

By SONI DANIEL
ABUJA— As the controversy over the
planned introduction of ₦5000 note
deepens, a Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, lawmaker, Senator Ita Enang, has
accused the Central Bank of Nigeria
Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi of
plotting the fall of President Goodluck
Jonathan with the ignoble plan.
Many Nigerians have kicked against the
move by the CBN to issue the new note
on the grounds that it would induce
inflation and worsen the nation’s fragile
economy but the bank is adamant over
the issue.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with
Vanguard, Enang, who is the Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Business
and Rules, described the arguments in
favour of the new note as pedestrian
and lacking in intellectual depth.
According to him, the plan amounts to a
direct devaluation of the Naira in
response to the demands of the World
Bank and an effort on the path of those
the bank had seconded to Nigeria in the
name of employment to fulfill its
mandate.

He also said apart from being at variance
with the cashless policy of the CBN and
the Money Laundering Act, the planned
introduction of the higher currency
would add no real value to the Naira or
its purchasing power.
“I pray Mr. President should be sensitive
to this and take action against the move
because I am certain the plan is intended
to embarrass the President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria and to make
the government of Goodluck Jonathan
unpopular in years to come so that
people will not like to vote for him in the
next election.

“I think what Sanusi is aiming at with
the introduction of the plan against
Nigerians is to ensure that the people
will be so unhappy with the President
that in the next election they would not
like to vote for him.
“Mr. President should therefore call the
CBN governor to order with immediate
effect,” the lawmaker stated.
Enang also warned the 19 Northern
governors of the consequences of their
agitation for a review of the
controversial onshore/offshore
dichotomy, which was laid to rest eight
years ago.

Northern Governors Forum had last
week called for a review of the oil
dichotomy to make more revenue
available to the Federation Account for
onward sharing to all the states. They
argued that it was wrong to pay revenue
accruing to the country from offshore
proceeds to the nine littoral states.
He noted that the renewed attempt by
the governors for a review of the law
constituted a treasonable offence.
The lawmaker said, “The protagonists of
the review should be ready for the
consequences of their action. They
should know that any action in that
regard would trigger another round of
crisis in the oil sector and possibly
reduce production from the present 2.7
million barrels per day to 700 barrels per
day.

“But above all, whoever is championing
the call for the abrogation of the oil
dichotomy law, which we passed into
law many years ago, should know that it
is a treasonable offence.
“I am saying so because treason is any
act committed against the interest of the
state,” Enang said.
The lawmaker, who represents Uyo
Senatorial District of Akwa Ibom State,
berated northern states for allowing
their solid minerals to be illegally
exploited and the resources kept away
by known persons while turning round
to share in the oil proceeds from the
South.
The lawmaker said equity demands that
all parts of the country should contribute
something to the Federation Account for
sharing by the Revenue Mobilisation,
Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission,
instead of some states behaving as
parasites.

Enang absolved former President
Obasanjo of any complicity in the
onshore/offshore debacle, saying that it
was the National Assembly that passed
the bill into law after the Supreme Court
had given its verdict on the matter.

obowunmi: Must every Lagos state governor be Muslim

May be Asiwaju couldn't find any Christian candidate that is so close to him, after all he is a muslim not a Christian.

dayokanu: Well Igbos are naturally delusional people.

If you ask them today they said they say they are descendants of Jews

Tomorrow they existed before Adam, How can you be descendants of Jews and also exist before Adam?

Thats what Happens when some Bantu people if Congo carry all the criminals in their empire and dump them in the cursed regions called Alayibo

At least we dont believe that our fore father fall from sky, unlike many people.. Lol!

sheyguy: How about we also discuss "How the Massob in Eastern states are scaring investors out of that region"?
Defeat na badt tin oh!

You and your likes are cowards, always afraid to face the North..
Is MASSOB funded by state money?
slowpoke!!

Ricky_Ross: Pls let no one be deceived, this Onitsha port is not worth 4.6 Billion Naira. I was too excited when i read about this port on the internet, but just few days ago I passed through the river Niger on my way to Asaba and i cant believe this small warehouse is the so called port? Why cant they give us a port as big as the one in Lagos? This is a warehouse to me and not a port, the place is just too small. I took pics of the so called sea port from river niger but am too ashamed to post it here.

Last night i received someone at Port Harcourt International airport and I cant believe the kind of quack job they are doing there in the name of airport modernization? When are we going to have a world class airport and sea port in south east/south south? I mean the federal government makes billions of dollars from this region every month?

All in all, i think the Onitsha port is a good project, but it is too small, I DO NOT THINK INTERNATIONAL SHIPS WILL BERT IN ONITSHA, I THINK OR ASSUME SMALL SHIPS FROM LAGOS WILL BE DIVERTED TO ONITSHA. I thought they are supposed to build a world class seaport for us so we can ship our goods to onitsha direct from Asia, Europe or America. I may be wrong though.

pls kindly post the picture of the port.

Bunch of BS. Let the dang thing start opporating and ships start sailing. Funny dude.

That is left for importers from the East and neighbouring regions.

The Chairman, Bayelsa and Rivers
Shippers Association, Mr Offon Udofia,
on Monday commended President
Goodluck Jonathan for inaugurating the
River Niger Port in Anambra.
Udofia, who made this known in Port
Harcourt, said the president was a
development oriented leader. He scored
the president high in the area of
infrastructure development and called on
Nigerians to support him to actualise his
transformation agenda.

‘’In spite of Boko Haram insurgency and
other distractions, the president is still
making progress in the total
transformation of Nigeria.
‘’From my opinion, he is a man of vision
with better programmes for the country,
which needs the support of all Nigerians.

‘’Success in administration is not a one
way thing, it requires the collective effort
of everybody in the country,’’ he said.
He described the president as a great
achiever, having commissioned the port
which had been long overdue and of
immense benefit to Nigerians.

‘’The port would now reduce accidents
along Onitsha/Lagos road, being caused
by trailers conveying goods from Lagos
ports to Onitsha.

‘’Decongestion of traffic is another
advantage, with the Niger port in
operation, Lagos/Onitsha road would be
less busy with heavy duty trucks,’’ he
said.(NAN)

An Edo man invited his friends for his
mother's burial, after lowering the coffin,
they put yam, rice, meat etc, into the grave.
An Hausa man asked why? The Edo man
smiled & said, "According to our tradition,
the dead go on a long journey & need all the
food items they can get". The Hausa man
dropped N100,000 inside and said, "When
the food finish, buy more".
A Yoruba man also dropped N50,000 and
said, add this in case it is not enough.
An Igbo man who was present at that time
smiled, brought out his cheque book and
wrote a cheque of N200,000. He dropped it
in the coffin and took the N150,000 notes
as change, then said, "Nwanne, withdraw
when you reach dia o...it is going to be a
dangerous journey, we don’t know how
many robbers are out there and no one will
be there to save you so just manage the
check"
Igbo kwenu!

bin gbagbo: this is piracy, but at least u should have acknowledged me. . .

show me d original copy nd i will.

IBB is aware of the implications of GEJ resigning.
Nigeria will seize to exist as a nation and he cant afford to see Nigeria divided becos he is among those Northern elites that owns about 70% Niger Delta oil wells.

A guy stayed close to the cemetery. He used
this to outwit okada riders and taxi drivers.
He would simply alight at the
cemetery junction, with his nostrils filled with
cotton wool
and spoke nasally. This scared every driver
and rider who
wouldn't dare ask him for money. The guy did
this for years and
successfully outwitted every driver and rider,
who were thinking he was a ghost.
One sunday evening, the guy boarded an
okada as usual alighted at the
cemetery junction.
My Money?. the angry
looking okada man asked. Cotton wool were
inside the guy's
nostrils, he replied nasally; I don't
have money!.
The okada man would not take
this from him, he
kept insisting. The frustrated guy,
later said; Ok, ok, follow me to my
room in the cemetery and I will pay you.
The
okada man agreed
and followed him till they got to a grave.
The guy in his attempts to
frighten the okada man knocked on the grave
and shouted; Martin! Martin! Martin! abeg
give me N800 make i take pay this stubborn
okada man. All of a sudden, a very big hand
holding N1000 appeared out of the grave
accompanied with a voice which said;
"Take! this one na ma last card. The guy
himself and the okada man took to their
heels! Lol!

There is a Muslim passenger in a Jamaican
taxi. He asks the driver to turn off the radio
and explains that he must not hear music as
decreed by his religion for in the time of the
prophet Muhammad, there was no music ...
no radio The driver turns off the radio, stops
the car, leans over and opens the back door,
The Muslim asks him : "What are you doing?"
The driver replied : "In di time of di prophet
there were no taxis, so come outta my bumboclaat taxi and wait for a camel ."

Long live Biafra!!!
Long live Biafrans!!!

chino11: We are not the same people.

Which people are you refering as we? Am an Anambrarian and i doubt if you are an Igbo let alone being Anambrarian.
Am sure you are insane, just like someone said you are really another version of Musiwa just that Musiwa is better than you because he is always thinking on how to unify S.west region unlike you that is always dividing Easterners.
Igbos are one. There is nothing like Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, Delta-Igbos or Rivers-Igbos before the advent of colonial masters. All these states were created for political reasons.
Igbo niile bu otu.
