Politics / NLC Calls Proposed N85 Per Litre 'propaganda', Plans Mass Action - Dailypost by urbanmonk: 9:08am On Dec 30, 2015
NLC calls proposed N85 per litre 'propaganda', plans mass action

​The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) on Tuesday accused the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, of plotting to deregulate the prices of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) through propaganda.

NLC said such move would be resisted by all means, as affiliate unions under it were already being mobilised against the planned deregulation.

NLC in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja, by its General Secretary, Dr Peter Ozo – Eson, said speculations on the commodity by the federal government were designed to confuse Nigerians.

Ozo-Eson restated that the directive to all state councils and industrial unions to commence the process of mobilization prior to a meeting of the National Executive Committee to be convened in the New Year still stands.

NLC noted that: “In the past few weeks, we have heard discordant tunes from government officials and chieftains of the ruling APC on what the future portends for the prices of petroleum products and the management of the subsidy scheme.

“The Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum first announced that come next year the price of petrol will revert to N97 per litre and that subsidy will be phased out. Two days, thereafter, he denied this and stated that what he said was that the price will operate within a band of N87 to N97 and that this did not mean removing the subsidy.

“The same minister now says that the price of petrol will now be N85 in January signifying the deregulation of the sector.

“These vacillations and flip flops are, in our view, designed to confuse Nigerians and pave the way for deregulation of petrol prices through the back door.

“The fact of the matter is that as long as we continue to depend on imported refined products, deregulation and the abandonment of a subsidy scheme will unleash hardship on Nigerians. In any case, according to our laws, the determination of the recommended prices of petroleum products is the responsibility of the Petroleum Products Prices Regulatory Agency (PPPRA).”

“By law, the board of PPPRA is made up of stakeholders. None of the contradictory prices the minister is throwing up is a product of the agency. Indeed, the board of the PPPRA has not operated for over two years although we have made repeated demands for the convening of the board.

“We call on the government to be guided by the rule of law and constitute and convene the board of PPPRA in accordance with the law without further delay. This will enable the agency to examine and agree a new pricing template based on the realities of today. Any price unilaterally determined and announced by the minister is in violation of the law,” Ozo-Eson said in the statement.

HiddenShadow:


Look at your unwise comment which I highlighted

Oil is losing value and instead of Buhari to invest more into Agriculture, he planned to invest more in propaganda by giving Ministry of Information more money than Ministry of Agriculture.

In today's world where oil price might fall to as low as $20 or lesser
if this is true then we are in for a loooooonnng rough ride.

Given that all the breakdown and people Dasuki mentioned didn't deny accepting his bonanza except buhari, one is bound to believe that Buhari is a liar. Afterall, this is not the first time he has been found to deny some caught in the act moves.

Now for all those refuting dasuki's claim that Buhari chop $300k yam, can you swear by the name of your local deity that Buhari is the saint he claims to be?

Politics / Dogara Admits Buhari’s Change Slow, Begs Nigerians by urbanmonk: 9:32am On Dec 26, 2015
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, on Friday appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari if they felt that the change promised by the government was not coming as fast as they wanted.

He gave an assurance to the people that with patience, the country would overcome its challenges and Buhari would deliver on his promises.

Dogara spoke during a Christmas service at the Church of Christ in Nations, Gwarangah, Bogoro Local Government Area of Bauchi State.

A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Turaki Hassan, quoted the speaker as saying, “Many people have been asking, where is the change?

“What is the future of this country?”

Dogara told the congregation that Nigeria was like any other nation facing challenges, adding that, “Europe is struggling with refugees; Arab countries are in turmoil, while some countries are even failed states.”

Arguing further in favour of Buhari, Dogara said, “Before this government took over, workers in many states were not paid salaries for months; our economy was badly damaged, there was massive looting.

“Now we have a leadership that has emerged with a will to take on the challenges. Of course, it will take time. The President was humble enough to apologise to Nigerians for the hardship over fuel scarcity.”

In Abuja, some of Dogara’s colleagues in the House sent him best wishes ahead of his 48th birthday coming up this Saturday (today).

A message of felicitation signed on their behalf by the Leader of the House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, noted that in the last few months that he assumed duties as the speaker, the House had demonstrated the will to perform its core duties as a legislature. The officers assured Dogara of their support, saying that working together; they would ensure that the country enjoyed peace.

The statement read in part, “The success story recorded in the last few months is a testimony to our collective drive to provide good legislation and engage in oversight functions that would breathe more life into the Change agenda of the Federal Government.

“As you prepare to provide leadership in 2016, we pledge to continue to do what would bring peace and development to our country.”

Politics / “change” Becomes The Shout Of “chains” – Intersociety by urbanmonk: 8:05am On Dec 26, 2015
Editor’s note: President Muhammadu Buhari has unveiled a lovely Christmas message titled: “No Group Will Hold Nigeria to Ransom Again” to all Christians ahead of December 25.

Emeka Umeagbalasi, board chairman of International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law, shares his views on why Nigerians are dictatorially captive; following the shout of chains, which they took to be change.
Buhari’s Christmas message

Nigerians and members of the international community had expected the Presidency of Muhammadu Buhari to use the Xmas Message to break its unholy silence over recent presidential atrocities and other forms of abuse of office and power; ranging from reported missing in action of dozens of soldiers, fragrant and rapacious disobedience or flouting of court orders and reckless executive interference in the judicial affairs; to the Zaria massacre and the Onitsha killings and shootings.


The Xmas Message delivered today by presidential speech writers, on behalf of President Buhari, is a collective insult to all Nigerians. The message, titled: “No Group Will Hold Nigeria to Ransom Again”… is also self-indicted because Nigeria is being held to ransom by the presidency of Buhari; and not the other way round.

Nigerians are dictatorially captive

A Nigerian Facebook blogger recently stated that “Buhari/APC shouted chain and Nigerians thought the shouters said change”. That is to say that Nigerians are dictatorially captive; following the shout of “chains”, which they took to be “change”. The country’s military had also boasted recently that “it must maintain one united Nigeria by fire by force”.

The latest presidential and military boasts must have been emboldened by their recent atrocious acts against innocent Shiite Muslim faithful in Zaria, Northwest Nigeria and the pro-Biafran peaceful campaigners in Southeast and South-south Nigeria; leading to massacre of over 300 Shiite followers and killing of over 20 pro-Biafran activists respectively.

The two brutal shootings also resulted in scores of deadly injuries. Using “No Group Will Hold Nigeria to Ransom Again” as a Xmas Message to Nigerians also amounts to presidential demonization of feast of Xmas or birth of the Saviour (Jesus Christ).

The message title is not only a presidential justification of the two atrocious acts, but also an indication of presidential remorselessness and its readiness to further slaughter thousands of other innocent citizens of Nigeria.

What Nigerians expected from Buhari on Christmas

Nigerians and members of the international community had expected the presidency of Buhari to use the Xmas Message to break its unholy silence over recent presidential atrocities and other forms of abuse of office and power; ranging from reported missing in action of dozens of soldiers, fragrant and rapacious disobedience or flouting of court orders and reckless executive interference in the judicial affairs; to the Zaria massacre and the Onitsha killings and shootings.

We had also expected the embattled Buhari’s presidency to announce the prompt sack and arrest of the principal actors in the butcheries under reference particularly the trios of Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai; Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase; and Commander of the 302 Artillery Regiment of Nigerian army, Onitsha, Col Issah Abdullahi; yet the Xmas message turned out to be empty and collectively insulting.

Further to the forgoing was the graphic report of how the personnel of the Nigeria Police Force stationed on Southeast roads by IGP Solomon Arase converted the roads into extortion and other graft scenes; resulting in them pocketing a whopping sum of N1.03Billion in 60 days. Despite the comprehensiveness of the report with recent pictures of police personnel caught brazenly and openly collecting bribes from motorists and other road users; yet the presidential Xmas message chose to ignore it.

Buhari and his security forces have adamantly chosen to remain in the past and dark

This is the same government that goes about parroting locally and internationally of leading a war against corruption. In all these, the presidency of Buhari and his security forces have adamantly chosen to remain in the past and dark, clinging on State terror and brigandage with impunity.

Arresting soldiers said to have perpetrated the massacre in Zaria and handing them over to the National Human Rights Commission for investigation is a clear case of the COAS being a judge in his own case. The first culprit to be arrested and investigated is the COAS, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai. Accepting such smokescreen or fire brigade approach on the part of the leadership of the NHRC, if true, is also conspiratorial, aiding and abetting; likewise reported intervention of the National Assembly as well as the so called “panel of inquiry”, reportedly set up by the Government of Kaduna State.

Finally, while we note with deep appreciation recent international reactions trailing the butcheries in Nigeria under reference, particularly the comprehensive report of the Human Rights Watch; which disclosed that “over 300 Shiite followers were killed by Nigerian soldiers and buried in secret mass graves”; we are still deeply concerned over scanty or no attention given to the Onitsha killings and shootings particularly those of 2nd December 2015.
