PoliticsStrange Revelations From NDLEA by xmich(op):
In a story that sounds stranger than fiction,
officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement
Administration (NDLEA) keeping watch at the
Kano International Airport, Kano, arrested a drug
trafficker who had earlier been tried and given a
jail term for drug trafficking. The man, who
should rightly have been in prison serving out
his sentence, was strangely arrested with hard
drugs at the Kano airport.


Naturally, this raised a red flag and subsequent
enquiries by NDLEA revealed that many drug
traffickers who had been given jail terms by the
courts had been surreptitiously let out of prison
illegally. The agency confirmed that at least 197
other indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced
drug barons and traffickers are now walking free
in Nigeria without serving their terms of
imprisonment.


The source of this narrative is no less a
personage than the Chairman and Chief
Executive of NDLEA itself, Mr. Ahmadu Giade,
who attributed this sordid state of affairs in the
Nigerian criminal justice system to a cartel
comprising court clerks, prison warders, drug
barons and traffickers.


This embarrassing situation is yet another
confirmation of the sorry state of the criminal
justice system in Nigeria. Mr. Giade narrated this
predicament to the press at Ibereko, Badagry,
Lagos, where he had gone to physically supervise
the destruction of confiscated illegal drugs val­
ued at N3.5 billion.


A few facts are apparent from this revelation.
First, is that our prison system is porous. If 197
convicted prisoners could be let loose at the
whims of prison warders, without a jailbreak or
prison riots, where then is the authority and
credibility of the Nigerian judicial system?
It is laughable to think that the conspiracy to
make nonsense of the prison system can be
placed at the doorsteps of prison warders and
court clerks.

The question is: what has been
done since drug convicts were discovered to
have disappeared into thin air somewhere
between the courts and the prisons? If court
clerks were involved as Mr. Giade has said, were
the chief judges of the states, the Appeal Court
president and the Chief Justice made aware of
the development?

In countries where the rule of law is taken to be
the holy grail of democracy, the Federal Attorney
General, the Interior minister and the police
chief, would have been made to provide answers
to these posers. Everyone knows how and why
there is so much money involved in the drug
trade.
Yet, even in Mexico and other South
American countries where drug cartels are so
powerful, there is no record of such massive
leakages of their prisons.



The corruption in every aspect of the Nigerian
system has been one reason why for several
years, Western countries were suspicious of the
security of Nigerian airports, and of any flights
originating from Nigeria.

And, their fears are
well-founded because a system that can let loose
drug barons and traffickers can also let loose
terrorists. If our prison is so porous to let loose
drug convicts, how are we sure that kidnappers,
child molesters, rapists and armed robbers are
not being helped to evade justice?
That this revelation has undermined the
confidence of Nigerians in the criminal justice
system cannot be in doubt. At the best of times,
such faith was tentative and shaky.

We have
heard incredible tales about our prisons being
made into a paradise for affluent felons;
prisoners being taken to night clubs so they can
enjoy themselves; criminals being allowed all
kinds of indulgences and occasional debauchery,
but none is as dangerous as the fact that
convicted felons can just be allowed to walk
away from justice.


The only measure which can restore our
confidence in the justice delivery system is a
judicial commission of inquiry to determine the
cause of this embarrassing development. It is
important to unmask the fat cats responsible for
this scandalous breach of our judicial system
and bring them to justice.

PoliticsNew Salaries For Buhari, Ministers, Govs, Others by xmich(op): 10:47am On Jun 08, 2015
FROM ISAAC ANUMIHE, ABUJA


Following 50 per cent drop in revenue, inflation
and the high cost of living, the Federal
Government has commenced the review of the
Remuneration Act which will affect what the
president, vice president, governors, and others
will earn.


The review will also affect the remunerations of
other political officeholders including the
ministers, the National Assembly members and
the judiciary.


Speaking exclusively to Daily Sun at the weekend,
Chairman of Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and
Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Elias Mbam, said the
review is undergoing a process to determine
whether it will be reviewed upward or
downward.


He, however, noted that given the harsh realities
on ground, the 2008 Remuneration Act must be
reviewed.

“The commission is not insensitive to the realities
on ground. There is a drop in the oil price, there
is a general economic downward trend. Many
states are even finding it difficult to pay salaries.

In view of this situation, the commission has
commenced the review of the remuneration of
the present Act of 2008 and by the time we
conclude, we will make public our position with
regard to the new Remuneration Act,” he said.
Mbam said the commission will consider other
things in tandem with what is happening in
other parts of the world.


“The thing is that we are not working in isolation
of other parts of the world. We are also looking
at what is obtainable elsewhere. What is being
paid in the private sector.

What type of work do
you do? What are the risks? Does the work
require the allowance that you are earning?
What are the shortcomings of the present
Remuneration Act? What is the rate of inflation?
So, it is not something you just say, increase or
decrease. But certainly, there will be some
changes,” he emphasized.


On the time-frame of the new remuneration law,
the chairman said it should come up with a new
proposal before the end of the third quarter.


“It is before the end of September because when
we come out with our new proposal, it will still
go through the National Assembly for the
executive arm of the government.

But for the
legislators, our determined emolument is final.
When we conclude, whatever we decide for the
legislators is final.

But that of the executive will
still go through legislative process. But whatever
they will decide finally will not be more than
what the commission decided,” Mbam noted..
At the moment, the President earns N3.51
million per year, Vice President (N3.03 million),
Minister (N2.02 million), Minister of State
(N1.95 million) and Special Adviser (N1.94
million), Governor (N2.22 million), Deputy
Governor (N2.11 million), and Commissioners
(N1.33 million).

PoliticsAbia Indigenes In South Africa Seek Rebuilding Of Aba by xmich(op):
Cape Town - The Abia Union in South Africa on
Sunday urged the new administration in the state to
rebuild Aba, the commercial nerve centre of the state,
in order to regain its old status.

The President General of the union, Vincent Nzekwe,
revealed in Cape Town, South Africa, that the
condition of Aba was deplorable and needed serious
attention.

"Aba is a major commercial nerve centre in South
East like Onitsha and Nnewi.

"The condition of the city is indeed very deplorable
and needs urgent attention.

"We appeal to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu to keep to his
campaign promise of rebuilding Aba.


"The measure will attract investors, especially
manufacturers, to partner with the people," he said.
Also read: Mines official bags 29 years for
diverting cement
Nzekwe, who said Aba was blessed with
manufacturers who produce shoes, shirts and
building materials, lamented the decay in
infrastructure.

"The roads are not passable and some investors are
no more attracted to the city to do business.
"We appeal to the new administration in the state to
adopt a Marshal plan to rebuild the city and make it
the Taiwan of Africa," he said.

According to Nzekwe, more jobs will be created and
the economy of the South East Zone will record a
boom again.


"The Abia state government will also benefit from the
business opportunities in Aba because investors and
local manufacturers will pay tax, create jobs and build
new industries in the city," he said.


Nzekwe said the union would partner with the state
government in education through donation of books
to secondary and primary schools while providing
expertise in specialised areas such as Information
Technology.

Mynd44:
I Nigeria is a signatory to ECOWAS but if they decide against policies what will ECOWAS do? What has the UN done against USA?

2. That is why investing in ports in important. If Nigeria breaks up the SE might find themselves landlocked if the SS decides to form their own state. What happens then? But if a SE officially has a stakes in the ports in the Niger Delta, you are at an advantage

3. Look at it this way, you all nationalise investments, who loses more? This is a call for the SE business community to invest more in the SE. A call to the leaders to develop the zone as together and build alliances with people outside.
Once again don't forget that switzerland is landlock and if se are to have Biafra today we are joining them.
