Too bad there's still no substantive Foreign Affairs Minister, Ashiru before he left had learnt to bark pretty loudly. If they decide to start deporting Indians, I would suggest they start from those currently running down the Delta steel Company (DSC). it would make perfect economic sense! 31 Likes |
Politics / Nigeria Warns India Of "Repercussions" Over Goa Face-Off by yelsew80: 3:06pm On Nov 07, 2013 |
The Nigerian community in India is feeling "aggrieved" after one of its citizens was killed in Goa, Nigeria's high commissioner has told the BBC. Ndubuisi Vitus Amaku said the resort state's subsequent order to deport Nigerians living illegally there was like "rubbing salt on their wounds". Meanwhile, police in Goa have made the first arrest in the murder case. Police blamed the killing on rivalry between local and Nigerian drug traffickers, and Goa's Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar asked the police to track down Nigerians living illegally in the state and deport them. There are about 40,000 Nigerians living in India and Mr Amaku says he is concerned about the safety of his people. "Indians need to understand that a large number of Nigerians are living legally in India and even if some are living illegally, there are laws in place to deal with that and those should be implemented," Mr Amaku told BBC Hindi's Divya Arya. He criticised the Goan authorities for plans to deport those living illegally in India. "If Nigerians are living illegally you don't wait till their compatriot is murdered before you go around picking them up and threatening them with deportation - that is like rubbing salt on their wounds." Earlier in the week, another Nigerian diplomat had warned of repercussions against Indians living in Nigeria if Goa did not stop "evicting Nigerians" from the state and failed to arrest the killers. More than 800,000 Indians live in Nigeria and they own approximately 100,000 businesses there. Mr Amaku said the official's statement was made in the context of the murder and that he felt "aggrieved" like all other members of the Nigerian community. Indian foreign ministry spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said he was sure that the row could be settled "amicably". "We have been assured that the investigation (into the murder) is under way," news agency AFP quoted him as saying. bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-24835058 5 Likes |

Sometimes, its just shocking when I hear Nigerians talk about certain issues with so much venom without actually having a clue about what they are talking! The ECA is an account designed by the OBJ govt to capture the difference between the budgeted price of crude and the actual amount it's sold. Since it makes financial sense to budget for less than the expected price in a financial year, the ECA is destined to swell with "unbudgeted" funds which are then shared by the 3 tiers of govt as "extra unbudgeted income" usually squandered in no time. The SWF ( it was called that simply for want of a better name) was designed to curb the successive waste of such funds by saving a portion of it (initially just $1billion). Now this is very important, this money wont necessarily sit in some bank account waiting for future generations to claim it, it's going to be invested in a variety of areas by appointed managers including in infrastructure, lent out to other willing investors locally and ultimately become a very important source of long term funds for investors comparable to pension funds but with potentially higher amounts. The difference here is that whatever profits are made wont go to the government but would be further saved as part of our contribution to future generations. But considering the benefits we stand to gain as a nation through the availability of such long term funds - which had for so long been a drag on local investments as huge capital outlays required by the private sector for long term financing could only be gotten from outside the country, what do we really loose in the present besides denying wasteful govts more funds to squander and giving this badly needed funds to those that actually need it for sensible investments? Now what on earth is wrong with such a noble idea? Constitutionality? How constitutional is the ECA? Nigerians are just impossible. |

Ki-Katanga:Your line of argument is valid but unfortunately, terribly flawed. Raising the debt issue is just leaning on sentiments. If Nigeria was earning thrice as much as it currently is earning, we would still have to borrow and repay debts! Why? you may ask, well that's simply because it makes economic sense. I dare to say no country can operate effectively without some level of debt. We could go into the economics of it if you like. What we are currently loosing by not consuming an extra 2% or so of our total income would pale a hundred fold if compared with what we stand to lose by not saving that meagre 2% if there's an economic shock in the near future. It's the same wretched mentality (No offence) that's making ASUU demand for ridiculous allowances - Nigeria get money - without realizing we are all storing up problems for ourselves in the very near future. Just over a decade ago the natural price of a barrel of Oil was hovering between 10 - $16, if that happens again do you realize the financial mess Nigeria would be in? You think it's impossible right? Well think again! |

Controversy: Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), Monday reiterated that Nigeria’s Sovereign Wealth initiative was unconstitutional noting that he would receive the Shareholders Certificate of the Fund presented to him by the management of the fund only as an acknowledgement that the State’s fund was being held somewhere.And Democracies don't need to save especially since there are bogus toll gates and concessions to be bought back isn't that so Raji?

You started this madness of throwing abuses in the other thread and when confronted with truth and compelling arguments you couldnt stand you jumped into a "thread of comfort" to start throwing abuses from your maggot infested mouth. Now listen you foool, I was with a friend who happens to be a lecturer at the University of Benin when he received his share of that 30billion, his share was 800k and some change while senior lecturers ( I know and personally VERIFIED the amount paid to 2 of them) received 1.4million. The amount received by Professors nearly doubles that received by the Senior lecturers but i couldnt verify the actual figures. Listen once again you miserable oaf, the ASUU chairman of that institution is someone I know "PERSONALLY" but as any sensible person should understand, I'm not at liberty to say in an open forum all that I've come to dig out. If you and that bloody liar whose interview you posted can come out and say that amount was not paid to lecturers in UNIBEN or prove that UNIBEN lecturers do not belong to ASUU, I'll tender my unreserved apology and NEVER post on this forum again. On the other hand, if you can not as little as post here on this forum evidence of your insistence that I'm a liar then May you be damned for repeatedly calling me a liar. Miserable wretch! 1 Like |

Demdem:Was it my "lie" you were quoting when you made this post below in the previous page of this same thread? STFU. The earned allowance isnt disputed. The FG agreed to pay it as a result of them agreeing and signing to it. They even signed an MOU to that effect. Its only disputed in ur skewed brain. besides u are aware that the FG has paid part of it which was the 30Billion released earlier. If it was disputed, why pay part of it? Your own words standing against you dude! What a shameless and classless liar you are. I'm sure by now I've proven your foolishness beyond reasonable doubt as everyone now knows you're someone that'll employ the dirtiest tactic to sound reasonable even though you fail woefully each time.

take dat: Is there a need to dispense horrible lies? I challenge you to produce a proof that the university governing councils and administrators invited lecturers for verification but they boycotted the exercise. The same way we were told FG had given N100billion to the universities, only for the VC's to deny receiving a dime from government.Being called a liar is something I really take personal cos I try my best to stick to the facts in all my arguments, yours is particularly painful seeing you're terribly ignorant but cant get yourself to ask and be informed.. A certain Prof Femi a serving lecturer from a federal institution has been involved in a series of debates over this strike and started a thread that made the homepage which he titled "ASUU STRIKE, A LECTURER SPEAKS". On that thread this same question was raised concerning their refusal to present themselves for both the NUC'S and FG'S verification and biometric exercises, he admitted saying they werent sure of the FG'S "sincerity", I know folks like you would rather throw lame accusations and call names than do a simple search to dig youself out of your pit of ignorance and that's your problem.

take dat: @Wesly80 is a miserable pig. His new found love is in Blackmailing ASUU.I'll ignore your first sentence and attempt to answer the questions you raised and hope next time you're reasonable. 1) The said allowance you're referring to is disputed so it's not yet "their" allowance. Agreed? 2) Of a truth no country can truly develop without developing its education sector that an unargueable truth. On the issue of foreign reserves, my major is Economics and please believe me when I say you're in over your head. 3) The issue is not about spending billions to fund education - No one would have a problem with that. The issue is funneling nearly the total education budget to tertiary education, its about diverting to total ETF collections to universities, its about raising retirement age to 70 in a country with a booming middle age workforce, its about jacking up lecturer salaries by outrageous figures through undeserved allowances. Those are the issues my brother 4) I'm fighting ASUU'S perceived greed, you're free to fight the first lady's. Start by opening a thread dedicated to it as I have and you'll be on your way, dont muddle up issues. 5) Same as above 2 Likes |

Nigeria's tertiary education system has a problem that's a fact no one can deny, how does pumping money to "spoil" lecturers solve the problem? For the upteenth time I'll repeat, Jonathan had little or no role in the 2009 negotiations. Yaradua believed he'd assembled a team of technocrats that would bring out a fair agreement when he assembled the Onosode committee that negotiated onbehalf of the government. One can be forgiven for signing an agreement that on the surface appeared to have been so painstakingly put together even though it has turned out to be a sham! The question you and the other Jonathan indicters are yet to answer is why the Yaradua government never bothered to start the implementation. |
