Jokes EtcJoke Of The Day: Okon And His Father by Torch1(op): 3:48pm On Apr 18, 2012
*Father: Okon, 1+1 is what?
The boy thinks for a while and confesses he doesn't know. Angered, the father jumps up and shout: Ehn! Okon if i give you 1 akara and another 1 akara how many akara you go get?
*Son: 2 akaras!
Thats better said the father.
*Father: what about 1-1?
But Okon yet again didn't know the answer.
The father outraged, jumps again and this time shouts: Okon if i give you 1 akara, i come collect am back, wetin go remain for your hand?
*Son: na only the oil na!
PoliticsRe: Itsekiri Protest Exclusion From Amnesty Programme by Torch1(m): 8:28am On Apr 18, 2012
Beaf: The amnesty for the real militants has long come and gone.

Those that are just beginning to clamour were never part of the struggle, but are opportunists who want to go abroad for training and such stuff, because they think that is the beginning and end of the ND cause.
Quite a few of them are known armed robbers.
I concur.

PoliticsRe: Northern Muslims Sworn To Protect Christians by Torch1(m): 6:03pm On Jan 04, 2012
noblezone:
It is rather coming at a very wrong time.

All these while the Boko Haramist are doing their "Allah's" wish, why didnt they vow to protect Christians?

It is time to use them abi? Any body who buys this dummy should have himself to blame.

Why havent they go on protest against the Boko Harams?
what more can i ask? They have vowed to protect Christians if only they will help them protest against GEJ's fuel subsidy removal but they never vowed to protect them against Boko haram and all the religious crisis that have been going on up there. Hmmm, Hypocrites!
PoliticsRe: Northern Muslims Sworn To Protect Christians by Torch1(m): 5:33pm On Jan 04, 2012
alj_harem:
Got this from a friend in Kaduna.

Muslims in all northern states have sworn with their lives to protect Christians during this hour of protest. Every southerner or Christian going home after the protest should be well assured that we Northern muslims rather die than allow him to be hurt by anyone.
lol @d bolded,, So what will happened after the protest against fuel subsidy removal? I just hope those Xtians up there will not fall my hand, this another way they will use to kill Xtians and loot thier properties becos GEJ is a Xtian and not a muslim.
PoliticsRe: 27 States Faces Bankruptcy by Torch1(m): 4:30pm On Dec 17, 2011
Armed with the data, Adetunmbi noted that in most states, the private sector is weak and unable to generate economic growth and jobs that are required, thereby making the states and local governments the largest employers of labour with attendant fiscal imbalance.

“The bulk of the revenue of these states is currently financing payroll of the civil service which constitutes less than 4% of the total population in all states; if this trend continues, many of the states would become financially insolvent and increasingly handicapped to finance real sectors and drive economic growth, job and improved livelihoods,” he said.
I think the bolded is the main reason why Anambra and Abia state is among the healthy state, not that they are richer than states like Rivers, Lagos, Delta state etc,

From the Senate came the gloomy news yesterday that the financial accounts of 27 states are in the red as some of them have been declared either “distressed” or “gloomy.” Only Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra and Jigawa states were given a clean bill of health. The six states that are in financial distress are: Kano, Sokoto, Niger, Zamfara, Katsina and Osun.
Those deemed critical are: Ekiti, Plateau, Benue, Edo, Borno, Adamawa, Cross River, Enugu, Taraba, Ogun, Kogi, Yobe, Ebonyi, Ondo and Kaduna.

In the unhealthy cadre are: Oyo, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Nasarawa, Gombe and Rivers while Imo, Kwara, Lagos, Kebbi and Delta were given the ‘tolerable’ tag. The data was sourced from the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF) Labour Policy Report, 2011 as contained in a motion titled: Looming danger of bankruptcy in states: The need for fiscal evaluation, sponsored by Senator Olubunmi Adetunmbi (ACN, Ekiti North).

To forestall the looming catastrophe, the Senate advised the Federal Government to expeditiously review the revenue sharing formula in favour of states and local governments.
so what is going to happen if the FG decides to review the revenue sharing formula, are they going to increase other states own and leave Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra and Jigawa states revenue becos they are healthy?? Am just curious!

“The bulk of the revenue of these states is currently financing payroll of the civil service which constitutes less than 4% of the total population in all states; if this trend continues, many of the states would become financially insolvent and increasingly handicapped to finance real sectors and drive economic growth, job and improved livelihoods,” he said.

He told the Senate that “most state governments now rush to the capital market to raise long-term bonds to finance development projects”, which if misused, would spell doom for their future and the financial quagmire of states. Also, Chairman of the Niger Delta Committee, Senator James Manager, re-echoed the call for merger of states and asserted that “all the states are distressed. Something has to be done. So many states are not supposed to be states because they have nothing to offer, they are burdens on Nigeria. Those not viable should be merged with the viable ones, hence, the imperativeness of fiscal federalism.”
lol, Na wa oo for dis Niger Delta man but he said the truth anyway.
