Former military president, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), has decried much concentration of power at the centre urging that power should be decentralized to the federated units. Speaking in Abuja at the Leadership Independence Conference organized by the Leadership Newspaper on Nigeria at 50, Babangida said, there was the need to devolve more powers to the states and the local governments.

“The Federal Government is holding a lot of responsibilities and you can go down and make sure that you elect a president who would have time to go and play golf, tennis or watch soccer because the federating units are very strong. They can survive on their own. So, all you need is to provide leadership at the highest level and the federal government may be only talking about defence, foreign policy, economy et cetera. I see that happening in the next 50 years.”

Continuing, Babangida said, we knew the problem of the country and we should lay a proper foundation for a new Nigeria. “I think the question we should ask ourselves should be: How do we feel? A lot of us will not be 50 yet but then, the foundation stone must be laid down as from October 1, 2010.
“And from everything we have said, I found out that we can now go back and say we want to build a truly Federal Nigeria in concept and in practice. The operative units should be allowed to grow at their own pace; at their own time and allow them to control their own resources within their own states. In other words, through the federal and regional. I think the time to start building is now,” Babangida stated.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant further said we should start laying foundation for a private-driven economy. “I also believe that we should lay now, the foundation for a private-sector-driven economy not the commanding height of the economy being dominated by government.

what most southerners don't understand is that the hausa custom officers are out to punish the southerners. For instance, smuggling is a Legal trade in the trans-Sahara borders. No one disturbs the hausa-fulani smugglers in sokoto, katsina, kebbi, borno, Nigeria Niger borders.However, they made it a big offence in Nigeria -Benin republic borders. and Nigeria Cameroon border via cross rivers and aka ibom routes.

A wise person once said."At any given moment in life you have the power to say, this is not how my story is going to end."
Maybe you are without a job.
Maybe you are freshly wounded from a bitter and hard relationship.
Maybe you are stepping into this week still reeling from the hurt of having lost a business or some other thing that was important to you.
You may be sitting wondering just how you are going to survive. You're wondering if it's even possible that you can have a good life after the chaos you've escape. Yes, you can!
A tragic beginning does not have to spell out a tragic ending.
You have the power to be decisive over your life.Resolve not to be defined and defeated by minor misfortunes.
You cannot change circumstances that you are afraid to confront.
Find healing where it hurts, Shed your own light where your path is dim.Forgive and Let go of anything that has the potential to prevent your better days.
We learn to go from struggle to struggle.
There is a great and might reasons why you made it to this day.

Herbalife reaches deal with US regulators

Herbalife buildingImage copyrightGETTY IMAGES
Dietary supplement firm Herbalife has reached a deal with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to avoid being labelled a pyramid scheme.
Herbalife agreed to pay $200m (£150m) to settle the accusations.
The FTC had been investigating whether Herbalife misled customers about the potential value of reselling its products.
The deal was a blow to activist investor Bill Ackman who was betting against the company.
Herbalife shares climbed over 18% at one point.
Mr Ackman made several public allegations that Herbalife was a "bad" company that relied on a hierarchical structure that focused on recruiting new salespeople rather than selling products.
Reorganise compensation
The FTC investigation also focused on this structure. Herbalife uses a direct sales method where products are bought by distributors to sell to the public and who are also encouraged to bring in new recruits.
The FTC settlement requires Herbalife to reorganise its compensation system to reward retail sales more than recruitment.
The regulator said, only a small proportion of Herbalife distributors earned anything near the amount the company promised.
"Herbalife is going to have to start operating legitimately, making only truthful claims about how much money its members are likely to make," said FTC chairwoman Edith Ramirez in a statement.
Herbalife marketing material advertised that part-time sellers of its nutritional products would earn between $500 to $1,500 a month. Many distributors, in fact, lost money.
Investor fighting
On Friday, the company also announced it was changing its internal governance to allow investor Carl Icahn to own a larger stake in the company.
Mr Icahn will now be able to own 35% of Herbalife shares.
In a statement, he praised the company's management for the way it handled the investigation. He also said the company should move on and look at possibly acquiring some competitors.
"Now that the company has reached a settlement with the FTC, it is time to consider a range of strategic opportunities, including potential roll-ups involving competitors, as well as other strategic transactions," Mr Icahn said.
His support of Herbalife led to a dispute with Mr Ackman. Mr Ackman has been "shorting" the company - a strategy where an investor borrows stock and sells it hoping to buy it back at a lower price before the date of return.
The two exchanged insults during an interview calling each other a "liar" and a "cry-baby".

bhai is DOA.
God almighty 4bid bad thing. I and my family would never defend dz bigot of a president .We would welcome military intervention in the present dispensation.

Why did Turkish coup plot fail?

Soldiers involved in the coup surrender on the bridge over the Bosphorus in Istanbul (16 July)Image copyrightGETTY IMAGES
For several hours on Friday night hundreds of Turkish soldiers appeared to have taken control of key areas of the main cities of Ankara and Istanbul.
There was little sign of President Recep Erdogan as the plotters took over buildings and media outlets. They needed to secure the support of the public and especially the majority of the military.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim appeared to be leading resistance to the coup, but as most Turks know, it is President Erdogan who wields the power and has designs on extending it.
If the coup was going to succeed, the conspirators had to keep him out of the picture and they were unable to do so. "I am the chief commander," he said later.

International reaction
In pictures: Turkey coup attempt
When the tide turned
For hours it was unclear where President Erdogan was. Reports said he was on holiday at the Aegean resort of Marmaris, deep in Turkey's south-west.
The tide turned when the president flew into Istanbul's Ataturk airport and gave a defiant news conference.
The moment he touched base in Istanbul it was clear the government was regaining control and had the support of senior military figures.
Ankara, where his palace and the government are based, was not yet secure, but in Istanbul he was able to address Turkey directly.
It had been "an act of treason and rebellion", he told reporters. Ilnur Cevik, a senior presidential adviser, told the BBC soon afterwards that the coup had been defeated by the will of the Turkish population.
"It's very clear there was a coup attempt but rapidly the situation turned in favour of the government and Erdogan asked the people to flock into the streets in Ankara and Istanbul and that's what they did."
It was the Turkish people who reclaimed Ataturk airport from the military and the people who took back state TV and radio from the military, he said.
Controlling the message
In reality, the soldiers who took over the studios at TRT had rebuffed a civilian attempt to force them out, and the coup ringleaders were able to continue broadcasting their message.
A "Peace Council" had taken power and a curfew was in place, they said.
Another broadcaster, CNN Turk, also went off air when soldiers walked into a studio control room and social media outlets were disrupted.
But the plotters' control of media outlets was not to last and even before he had arrived at Ataturk airport President Erdogan contacted CNN Turk and appeared in a video call, urging Turks to take to the streets.
The president may have been lucky. He said the hotel where he had been staying was bombed after he had left and his secretary general had been seized.
Did the coup have widespread military support?
For the coup to have succeeded it required backing across the armed forces. A large number of soldiers may have been involved, and in several Turkish cities.
Tanks took to the streets and the bridge across the Bosphorus in Istanbul was taken over.
But the chief of staff, Gen Hulusi Akar, was not part of the coup, nor was the head of the army in Istanbul, who took command while Gen Akar was being held by the plotters.
The navy chief and special forces commander also spoke out against the uprising and F-16 fighter jets attacked some of the rebel tanks.
"This attempted coup collapsed before it even started," said Fadi Hakura of UK-based Chatham House, who said it was amateurish and failed to attract broad military support.
There was no political or public backing either. The opposition secular CHP said Turkey had seen enough coups and did not want "these difficulties repeated". The nationalist MHP also rallied behind the government.
Who were the plotters?
They are a faction within the army, and military figures say they are a small group within the First Army, whose headquarters is in Istanbul.
"They didn't represent the vast majority of the military," says Fadi Hakura, who believes their failure is evidence coups no longer enjoy the broad support they once did in Turkey.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan has long warned against potential coups and in recent years his government has attempted to purge the military and police of figures it suspects of agitating against his Islamist-rooted AK Party.
Could it have all been planned in America?
President Erdogan has for years accused a former ally, Fethullah Gulen, of plotting against him. The pair fell out and Mr Gulen went into self-imposed exile into the US.
And it did not take long for the president to blame "the parallel state", a clear reference to his rival.
The Gulen movement itself denied involvement. A pro-Gulen group said it found the attempted coup "strange and interesting" but rejected any attack on democracy, fearing renewed attacks on its movement.
However, the government quickly acted to suspend five generals and 29 colonels who they said were linked to the "parallel state", Turkish Anadolu ne

Recep Tayyip Erdogan: Turkey's ruthless president

Recep Tayyip Erdogan (June 2015)Image copyrightAFP
Recep Tayyip Erdogan's AK Party enjoys a fierce and loyal support among Turkey's conservative, Muslim base, while outside the country outrage grows over his silencing of critics, often by force.
Turkish journalists have been investigated and put on trial, foreign journalists have been harassed and deported. Last month, police raided Turkey's biggest newspaper, Zaman. Its staff emerged bloodied and cowed.
Zaman's last independent edition said Turkey's press had seen one of its "darkest days". Its first edition under state control carried unabashedly pro-government articles.
And Mr Erdogan's authoritarian approach is not confined to Turkey's borders. His bodyguards harassed reporters in the US, and a German satirist is under investigation in his home country for offending the Turkish president on TV.
Mr Erdogan, 61, came to power in 2002, a year after the formation of the AK Party. He spent 11 years as Turkey's prime minister before becoming the country's first directly-elected president in August 2014 - a supposedly ceremonial role.
In June 2015 the AK Party suffered a dip in the polls and failed to form a coalition. But a snap election in November, after Turkey's worst suicide bombing prompted Mr Erdogan to escalate his war against the PKK, gave the party a convincing majority.
Erdogan's rise to power
1970s-1980s - Active in Islamist circles, member of Necmettin Erbakan's Welfare Party
1994-1998 - Mayor of Istanbul, until military officers made power grab
1998 - Welfare Party banned, Erdogan jailed for four months for inciting religious hatred
Aug 2001 - Founds Islamist-rooted AKP with ally Abdullah Gul
2002-2003 - AKP wins solid majority in parliamentary election, Erdogan appointed prime minister
Aug 2014 - Becomes president after first-ever direct elections for head of state
Challenging the military
In the decades before the AKP's rise to power, the military had intervened in politics four times to curb Islamist influence.
In 2013 Mr Erdogan triumphed over the military elite when senior officers were among 17 people jailed for life, convicted of plotting to overthrow the AKP in what was known as the "Ergenekon" case.
Hundreds of other officers were also put on trial, along with journalists and secularist politicians, in that investigation and a similar one called the "Operation Sledgehammer" case.
When more than 200 officers were detained in the Sledgehammer investigation in 2011, the heads of Turkey's army, navy and air force resigned in protest.
Critics accused Mr Erdogan of using the judiciary to silence political opponents, and there were many allegations of trumped-up charges.
But his supporters applauded him for taking on previously untouchable establishment figures, who saw themselves as guardians of the state created by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
Gezi Park protests
Mr Erdogan also unleashed the power of the state to crush mass protests in Istanbul in June 2013, focused on Gezi Park, a green area earmarked for a huge building project.
The protests spread to other cities, swelled by many secularist Turks suspicious of the AKP's Islamist leanings.
A major corruption scandal battered his government in December 2013, involving numerous arrests, including the sons of three cabinet ministers.
Mr Erdogan raged against "plotters" based outside Turkey, condemning supporters of Fethullah Gulen. He also lashed out against social media, vowing to "wipe out" Twitter.
He has a combative charisma that many Turks in the teeming cities and small Anatolian towns love.
But his reputation took a hit in May 2014 when he reacted coldly to a mine disaster in Soma, western Turkey, which killed 301 people.
Muslim revival
Mr Erdogan has denied wanting to impose Islamic values, saying he is committed to secularism. But he supports Turks' right to express their religious beliefs more openly.
That message goes down particularly well in rural and small-town Anatolia - the AKP's traditional heartland. Some supporters nicknamed him "Sultan" - harking back to the Ottoman Empire.
In October 2013 Turkey lifted rules banning women from wearing headscarves in the country's state institutions - with the exception of the judiciary, military and police - ending a decades-old restriction.
Mr Erdogan's wife Emine wears a headscarf to official functions, as does the wife of his long-standing AKP ally Abdullah Gul, who was president before him.
Critics also pointed to Mr Erdogan's failed bid to criminalise adultery, and his attempts to introduce "alcohol-free zones", as evidence of his alleged Islamist intentions.
Palatial ambitions
Mr Erdogan's political opponents saw a lavish new presidential palace as a symbol of his alleged authoritarian tendencies.
Perched on a hill on the outskirts of Ankara, the 1,000-room Ak Saray (White Palace) is bigger than the White House or the Kremlin and ended up costing even more than the original £385m ($615m) price tag.
Mr Erdogan owes much of his political success in the past decade to economic stability, with an average annual growth rate of 4.5%.
Turkey has developed into a manufacturing and export powerhouse. The AKP government kept inflation under control - no mean feat, as there were years in the 1990s when it soared above 100%.
But in 2014 the economy began flagging - growth fell to 2.9% and unemployment rose above 10%.
On the international stage he has bitterly condemned Israel - previously a strong ally of Turkey - over its treatment of the Palestinians. The policy not only galvanised his Islamic base, but also made him a hugely popular leader across the Middle East.
He has backed Syria's opposition in its fight against Bashar al-Assad's government in Damascus.
But his tentative peace overtures to the Kurds in south-eastern Turkey soured when he refused to help Syrian Kurds battling Islamic State militants just across the border.
Islamic education
Born in 1954, Recep Tayyip Erdogan grew up the son of a coastguard, on Turkey's Black Sea coast.
When he was 13, his father decided to move to Istanbul, hoping to give his five children a better upbringing.
As a teenager, the young Erdogan sold lemonade and sesame buns on the streets of Istanbul's rougher districts to earn extra cash.
He attended an Islamic school before obtaining a degree in management from Istanbul's Marmara University - and playing professional football.
While at university, he met Necmettin Erbakan - who went on to become the country's first Islamist prime minister - and entered Turkey's Islamist movement.
In 1994, Mr Erdogan became the mayor of Istanbul. Even his critics admit that he did a good job, making Istanbul cleaner and greener.
But in 1999 he spent four months in jail after a conviction for religious incitement.
He had publicly read a nationalist poem including the lines: "The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers."
In 2001 Mr Erdogan launched the AKP with allies, having broken away from the Virtue Party, which had been banned.
His rise to power was complete when the AKP won a landslide election victory in 2002 and he became prime minister.

Turkish army seizes power
AFP
26 minutes ago
Ankara - The Turkish military on Friday said that it had launched a coup, in what the prime minister termed an illegal act aimed at usurping the authorities.

Soldiers were seen on the streets in Istanbul and Ankara as jets flew low overhead, while ordinary citizens rushed for the safety of their homes after witnessing the coup attempt.

"The power in the country has been seized in its entirety," said a military statement quoted by Turkish media.

It said the move had been made "in order to ensure and restore constitutional order, democracy, human rights and freedoms and let the supremacy law in the country prevail, to restore order which was disrupted".


"All our international agreements and commitments retain their validity. We hope our good relations will continue with all countries in the world."

Television pictures showed tanks deployed outside Atatürk Airport in Istanbul. Reports said that flights into the airport had been halted.

AFP correspondents said that Istanbul had been turned into a ghost town after the events, with people who had been outside for a Friday night rushing to the safety of their homes.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim on Friday denounced what he said was an "illegal attempt" by elements in the military.

"We are working on the possibility of an attempt. We will not allow this attempt," he told NTV television by telephone, without expanding on the nature of the move but saying it was by a group in the Turkish military.

"Those who are in this illegal act will pay the highest price," he added, saying it would not be correct to describe the move as a "coup".

Turkey has a history of coups with governments ousted on three occasions in the last decades by full military coups.

However analysts had usually assumed that the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had good relations with the military.

one thing that actually catalysed the Asian economies is technology and endurance.
once the cost of manufacturing moved northward in the west, the next destination was Asia.
The Asian people endured a lot of suffering 2 be where they are today, they discouraged importation of finished products and encourage exportation of their inferior finished products to Africa.
they made Africa a dumping ground of inferior goods. the net effect of dz was massive build up of foreign exchange with which they were able to import more western technology. A good example is China, Singapore, Taiwan etc
The western nations did not see Africa as a viable entity apart from the investments dy have in crude oil, gold extraction, mineral exploration and exportation, they never deemed it good to invest in consumer goods, dz the Chinese saw and gradually formed an alliance with many Africa nations, the net effect was gradual displacement of the west from many untapped resources deposited by nature in the soils of Africa.
