Politics › Ghost Workers: 2 Pregnant Women Collapse, Die In Bauchi During Verification by winningwinner(op): 12:18pm On Apr 06, 2016

Two pregnant women collapsed and died in Bauchi, on Tuesday, while waiting to be screened by the Verification Team from the office of the Accountant General of the state government.
The two pregnant women were among the over 6,000 teachers in the state that were declared as ghost workers by the state government on assumption of office. Hope rose for them when the state NLC took up their case and the state government asked them to assemble at the state local government education secretariat for screening before collecting their salaries.
An eyewitness, Abubakar Yusuf , a teacher at the Baba Didi primary school said that the first woman, who was seven months pregnant, fainted when the crowd were pushing to be verified, a situation that triggered a congestion during the exercise.
He said they all assembled at the local government education authority for the verification, “because we have not been paid for three months. People came from all the local government areas of the state, so there was a massive crowd that gathered at the venue.
“The verification exercise took us by surprise because we were in the classroom teaching when we were summoned for the screening. That was why there was a large turn-out of people.”
He added: “Some of the people who came early were lucky enough to be verified, but as the crowd kept increasing, people began to push each other. In the process, an unidentified pregnant woman fainted and went into a comma.”
“Another pregnant woman also collapsed and had a miscarriage instantly. The two pregnant women were rushed to the hospital for treatment. We later heard that they died.”
Fellow Nigerians, why should these women die simply because they wanted to be paid for services they rendered to the state? Why should the state government not try to ease the sufferings of the teachers during verification exercises by finding alternative methods that will not lead to congestion of centres?
I see this exercise to be very unnecessay because there are better ways of doing it without this excruciating and harsh way that tells on the age and health conditions of the workers. This is my position, I don't know about you; but whatever the case is, evil remains evil and must be condemned!

HARD TIMES UNDER BUHARI NOT A SURPRISE.

No light, no water, no fuel, no food, no no no is the chorus sang all over the country at present. No doubt that times are really hard, but every man who sees beyond his nose can see a silver lining in the cloudy future.

The hope that keeps a pregnant woman going, is knowing for sure that the pains will be over after a period of time. This hope is what keeps her alive, strong and up and doing.

After more than 50 years as an independent nation, 3 republics past and 16 years wasted in an uninterrupted democracy, Nigerians for the first time elected a leader that didn't emerge by chance- but by a conscious attempt to being the president of the country.

According to history, no Nigerian leader had emerged from a conscious preparation to being a president except President Buhari.

Only President Buhari came to power with a conscious attempt to becoming a president.

He had plans with a task to building the country from scratch, by firstly identify the menace in the system and deal with it head on.

In every system, there is a critical sector that when fixed, other sectors will automatically fix themselves.

In the case of Nigeria, this critical sector is corruption.

Corruption is a lucrative sector in our system that is responsible for almost all ills and when fixed, insecurity will fix itself, unemployment will do same, power failure will exist only in history books, brain drain will turn the other way round, foreign investor and tourist will find home in Nigeria, and a lot more too many to mention.

Isaac Newton's 3rd law of motion states "to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" this law explains the hardship Nigerians are faced with today.

The action of President Buhari in fighting corruption provokes the reaction of the corrupt to fight back with equal if not more powerful reaction.

They are fighting back with their lives. This reaction is responsible for the hardship we are faced with today, but with little more time, am sure they will be defeated because they are the treacherous enemies of the state.

Buhari acted by implementing TSA, being a major step to plugging leakages, they reacted by changing their monies to dollars and starching them in suck ways, farms and villages.

This resulted in the scarcity of dollar and the free fall of Naira in the parallel market.

Buhari acted by reducing pump price by 50K and removing the controversial fuel subsidy, they reacted by creating an artificial scarcity, just to get back to the president with the people's anger.

Buhari acted by producing an unprecedented budget with higher capital expenditure, which gives hopes for better days, but they swiftly reacted by paddling the budget, trying to ridicule the government at the detriment of the masses resulting to delaying the passage of the budget.

Without a passed budget, it is always difficult to pay salaries let alone do anything significant.

Buhari acted by "unbundling" NNPC into 7 units for transparency and accountability, they reacted by cutting off fuel supply chains to power stations, throwing the whole country into darkness for days.

They will always follow the Newton's law, in an effort to bring back corruption while we will always be at the offensive to stamp out corruption.

A little more patience is just what is needed.

There is light at the end of the tunnel . Sai Baba!!!!

Did you think properly before writing this? I know Isaac Newton is frowning at you from his grave for using his law to interpret and supporting ineptitude.

Wah wah waaaah!

"South East lost by not supporting Buhari"

"South East put their eggs in one basket"

"South East miscalculated by not supporting Buhari"

"South East is blinded by tribalism"

"South East was politically naive and lacked sophistication for not supporting change"

"South East will be on the wrong side of history for not supporting Buhari"

"South East miscalculated seriously by not supporting Buhari"

...

Well, with the events playing out, it sure looks to me like the South-East were the WISER ones for refusing to be deceived by the FAKE change and propaganda.

When history comes to judge you and you think of the role you played in electing a 73 year-old illiterate tribal supremacist and coup-plotting ex-dictator to rule your country of over 170 million people in the 21st century, would you be proud of yourself?

From "Buhari is a reformed democrat", the new narrative being pushed by his lapdogs today is "democracy is an obstacle to the war on corruption". "Let us withdraw the constitution to help Buhari fight corruption".

Your parents queued up for long hours in 1984 for milk, rice and beans; you'd have to be a gullible dimwit to think Buhari gives a damn about you queueing up for long hours in 2016 for fuel.

A people with no knowledge of their history will never be gifted with the skills of retrospective analysis, and are bound to keep repeating their mistakes. This is exactly why it was easy to pick up an expired ethnic bigot and despotic illiterate from the dustbin of history, and dust him up into a "reformed democrat" in the eyes of the gullible, ignorant populace.

Politics › Bakare's Call For Revolution: A Plus Or Minus For The Government? by winningwinner(op): 11:18pm On Apr 05, 2016

The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare has called for a revolution in Nigeria, saying that’s the only way to address the fundamental error of government.

Fellow Nigerians, Revolution can mean anything to anybody, but that word has something BIG attached to it. Does Nigeria as a country need revolution in order to correct bad governance?

The man may not be alone in this line of thinking. This is why I find it necessary to bring up this thread to know what your opinion is.

To further help you understand him properly, this is all he said:

"...the revolution should be a radical transformation of values which should transcend politics and change of government".

He also berated the current government over its stance of waiting for an upsurge in the price of crude oil before reviving the economy.

Bakare said, “While appreciating the positive developments in our democratic experience, especially the attempts by past and current governments to eliminate systemic leakages, I shall seek to prove that, by a fair preponderance of the credible evidence, the state of the nation calls for a revolution.”

“This is a revolution that transcends politics or policies; a revolution that means far more than any change of government; a revolution that means a radical reformation of values as they impact upon the social, economic and political landscapes of our nation.”

“It is a symptom of chronic national laziness to blame the global economic downturn for Nigeria’s economic woes, or to wait expectantly for a rise in crude oil prices in order to sustain our consumptive economic patterns. Our problems are not the result of global economic cycles; our problems are the results of counter-productive national paradigms and self-limiting frameworks of state.”

Are you kidding me? So Diezani ruled you as Petroleum Minister for 16 years? That was great!
In the achievement plans you gave, I saw pictures of private buildings, filling stations, federal roads, railways, m/m airport, and private hotel buildings. Anyway, all these were achieved under Jonathan's administration. In Lagos today, there is an APC governor under Buhari administration. How many of these buildings are built or are in-going in Lagos today?
We all know that you came from Niger Republic trying to spoil Nigeria by claiming to be a Lagosian. It's time you go visit your country, they need you there!

Adminisher:
This is very STUPID
Go and ask people who know the industry. It was under Dieziani that no extra barrels were added to Nigeria's oil and gas reserves. Exploratory activities dropped and they were not even paying joint venture partners.

On the downstream side
They did not build new refineries in spite of all the oil money Nigeria was making. The woman herself knew nothing about the industry. She is an architect who worked in community relations in Shell. A lot of you are very very ignorant.

On the retail side.
The only interest this woman had was importing petrol and diesel through a few marketers and doing sharp practices. In all her interviews her main claim to fame was that there were very few petrol queues in her tenure... LOL. Few petrol queues of an imported product that we should be producing for the local market and exporting. Very big disgrace.

Simple common sense dictates that the current problem a country faces is usually the result of bad things done in the past. So why are people being cowardly in saying the truth about this bad woman?.
It is not all negative for Nigeria. Nigeria currently has more trained manpower globally than all the other third world countries except India and Iran but this is not Buhari's achievement but the result of things we did right as a people. Nigerians suffered a great deal to train their children so we are enjoying the 21 billion dollars that these people working abroad post home. In the same way your current power and fuel problems are due to the mis management of PDP ..face the fact and accept it.
The past determines the present so PDP is to blame...very simple.

Thanks for this trash! Is this why your likes chose to punish Nigerians with a BUHARI as Petroleum Minister?
I don't have your time, but I still maintain that what Buhari and his boy Kachikwu cannot do, Diezani did.
She is an architect as you said, meaning that she had university education, but what does Buhari have?
Answer me now!

The only fact is that she was conniving with marketers to claim bogus amounts in subsidy payments while awarding phoney contracts to cronies and turning a blind eye to the corruption in NNPC instead of repairing the refineries, maintaining the depots, stopping pipeline vandalism and bunkering (since she is from niger delta) all of which woukd have solved the problems she was throwing money at . This to me is failure

Now that you have taken over power from her, what is happening? Have you stopped the corruption in NNPC, repaired the refineries, stopped pipeline vandalism and oil bunkering?

Can someone remind us what Diezani actually did.

Okay, let me remind you of THREE:
1. Diezani stopped the menace of kerosine explosion that was claiming lives of Nigerians on daily basis the moment she became Petroleum Minister.
2. Diezani restored the purchase of fuel from filling stations leading to numerous new stations scattered all over the country. It was during her tenure that Nigerians saw fuel attendants practically begging motorists to buy from their own pumps. Given time, filling station managers would have gone on air to advertise their stations. Today, without Diezani, you sleep in fuel stations without fuel
3. Diezani helped to keep fuel price at N84, even when oil barrel price was high, but today even with the fall of oil two-men petroleum ministers could not do what one woman did. How much do you buy fuel today, even when oil barrel price is lowest?
Do you now eat your pride and celebrate this great woman of ideas and give a liitle prayer for her recovery!!!

See How the WOMAN in Diezani Alison-Madueke Was Portrayed by a Nigerian Fan!!! He says, "What two men cannot do; one woman did it, put extra"!

I have always said and hold it strongly that the Nigerian female is far far far more intelligent and stronger than their male counterparts. Look at the cut off marks for schools. Despite relegation of females in our society, the cut of mark for females is either higher or the same as that for the males in most states.
Now compare how our females win the females nations cup and compare how our men cannot even qualify.
Then we do not have male equivalents of Blessing Okagbare. All individual medals at the Olympics, I believe the women have given them to us save for a few
Then look at the world bank. I believe we have over 3 females who have risen to that enviable position. The men, despite all the push, very few are rated in that top organization.
Yes I heard Senate and all refused to consider women the equal of men. But me I remember well all my many many many female classmates who are so so so much more intelligent than I am and I have no shame at all in saying I DO NOT BELIEVE THE NIGERIAN MALE HAVE ANY ADVANTAGE OVER THE NIGERIAN FEMALE. My papa know book, my mama know book. My cousins know book. So nothing you want tell me about woman wey I never use my eye see.
Finally, Dieziani know book pass Kachikwu and Buhari put together. Check the score board or rather fuel queues. or maybe na Buhari head dey draw Kachikwu go back huh

? Maybe Dieziani was allowed to do what she knows and bring fuel while Buhari is a BULL in a China shop (use of the cattle/bovine imagery BULL intended)
Bull in a China shop hahahahaha. Sometimes I impress myself. Bull in a China shop. I heard he is going to China on wednesday and he may go to a shop. how apt. hahahahaha

From the archives of the great thoughts of Mr. President.

Lest we forget. We are watching.

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/buhari-military-offensive-against-boko-haram-anti-north/149256/

Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) National Leader, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has criticised the declaration of state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States and the subsequent military offensive against the Boko Haram Islamic sect.
Buhari, who featured on the “Guest of the Week,” a Hausa programme of the Kaduna-based Liberty Radio, yesterday said the federal government’s action was a gross injustice against the north.

According to him, unlike the special treatment the federal government gave to the Niger Delta militants, the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished.
He said he was not in support of the declaration of state of emergency in the three north-eastern states because President Goodluck Jonathan had failed from the outset in addressing the security situation in the country.

Besides, Buhari added that the security challenges facing the country started in the Niger Delta region where he alleged that politicians desperate to retain their positions as governors recruited youths and armed them to enable them win elections by force.
According to Buhari, who fielded questions in Hausa language before the English version of the programme, “What is responsible for the security situation in the country was caused by the activities of Niger Delta militants.

“Every Nigerian that is familiar with what happened knows this. The Niger Delta militants started it all. What happened is that the governors of the Niger Delta region at that time wanted to win their elections, so they recruited the youths and gave them guns and bullets and used them against their opponents to win elections by force.
“After the elections were over, they asked the boys to return the guns, the boys refused to return the guns. Because of that, the allowance that was being given to the youths by the governors during that time was stopped.

“The youths resorted to kidnapping oil workers and were collecting dollars as ransom. Now a boy of 18 to 20 years was getting about $500 in a week, why will he go to school and spend 20 years to study and then come back and get employed by government to be paid N100,000 a month; that is if he is lucky to get employment?

“So kidnapping became very rampant in the south-south and the south-east. They kidnapped people and were collecting money.
“How did Boko Haram start? We know that their leader, Mohammed Yusuf, started his militancy and the police couldn’t control them and the army was invited. He was arrested by soldiers and handed over to the police.

“The appropriate thing to do, according to the law, was for the police to carry out investigations and charge him to court for prosecution, but they killed him, his in-law was killed, they went and demolished their houses.
“Because of that, his supporters resorted to what they are doing today.
“You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua sent an airplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they were given money and granted amnesty.
“They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north are being killed and their houses demolished. They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice.”

Buhari also explained why he joined politics after his release from detention by former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, saying that his close associates and those who knew him very well convinced him to join partisan politics.

He said those who knew him, knew that he took on positions of responsibility without begging anyone for appointments.
“I was a military governor in a state that has been divided into six states today; I was minister of petroleum for four years and six months. I was a military head of state.

Why didn't you (PDP)prosecute him properly when in power?Only few heard of CCT in the previous administration and his jurisdiction in dealing with things like this.
