The Israelis just want to start a Sunni-Shia war in Nigeria.They have tried this several times,remember sometimes last year they accused Iran of trying to assassinate Saudi Arabia Diplomat to the US just to cause a rift between the Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Let me enlighten my fellow NLder more on Hajj.It is compulsory for every female pilgrim to have a male companion be it father,brother or husband.What Nigerian pilgrimages do is to match a male pilgrim to a female one when they get to Mecca.This act is very bad because it promote promiscuity among the prigrims after getting back to their country,imagine a lady in a company of another man who isn't her husband for three weeks...

Racism against black everywhere.Is being black a crime?...

The Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, has noted
the response of Dr Goodluck Jonathan, as President of
Nigeria, to the altruistic statement credited to our
National Leader, General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB)
wherein he had stated inter-alia dire consequences for
the perpetual riggers of our electoral process in 2015.
In the statement signed by Dr. Reuben Abati, Special
Adviser to the President on Media, GMB was
grotesquely characterized as a sectional leader.
First, GMB has been out of office as Head of
Government for about 28 years, yet his relevance to the
Nigerian nation is something firmly acknowledged by a
broad spectrum of Nigerians, including his adversaries.
As Head of State, his Oil Minister was Professor Tam
David-West, a Kalabari man in Rivers state. As a
Leader, he created the ambience for his ministers to
work unobtrusively and devoid of executive
meddlesomeness. But what do we find with Dr
Goodluck Jonathan? All the appointees as Oil ministers
in his two-year reign thus far as President of Nigeria
have been Nigerians of Ijaw extraction, like himself!
Second, in October 1, 2010, there was a bomb blast
during the year’s independence anniversary
celebrations, with attendant deaths of many Nigerians.
Without waiting for any preliminary report from the
Security Agencies, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, as President,
told a traumatized Nation, “it is not MEND!” Meanwhile,
MEND is the name for the militant group from Dr Good-
luck Jonathan’s ethnic extraction that had in the
immediate past waged relentless and potent
insurgency against the Nigerian state but had been
placated with more slice of the Nation’s resources
ceded to the region. Indeed, MEND impugned the
President’s statement and admitted responsibility.
Third, so far as President of Nigeria, Dr Good-luck
Jonathan has shown very generous affinity for Nigerians
of Ijaw stock in terms of appointments and promotions
in the Federal Public sector. There is a marked
lopsidedness that smacks of clannishness and
ethnocentrism by the President!
On Corruption and sleazy tendency, the Jonathan
administration transcends all others before it! Nigerians
are still befuddled by the impeachable show of
arbitrariness by the regime in expending N2.67Trillion
on fuel subsidy instead of the appropriated N240Billion
in the 2011 appropriation act. As expected, the regime
has attempted all manner of subterfuge to give
Executive cover for the indicted people in the scam,
who were the bank-rollers of the President’s
electioneering campaign. Could it be that the missing
money was funneled deliberately to the Jonathan
Presidential Campaigns, with the acquiescence of the
President?
GMB was quoted as saying that the Jonathan-led
Federal Government is the greatest Boko-Haram.
Understandably, this elicited awful response from the
President. In a jejune, puerile, and very pedestrian
communication, the presidential spokesman defined
Boko-Haram as “Western education is sin” and went on
to posit the administration’s investment in Education.
How awkwardly inane could that be?!
It is common knowledge that Boko-Haram has become
the euphemism for subtlety in devious schemes that
cause mass killings of the innocents! As GMB aptly
stated, Boko Haram has three variants, with varying
degrees of severity and murderous content: the original
Boko-haram that seeks to avenge the extra-judicial
killing of its Leader by the Nigeria Police; the Boko
Haram that pursues criminality for monetary gains and
of course, the Political Boko-haram that is bent on
setting the stage for ethno-religious pogrom in the
Nigerian nation. It is the Political Boko Haram, with its
extremely lethal content, that the Jonathan-led Federal
Government represents!
·
In January 2012, Dr Good-luck Jonathan told a
bewildered nation, still smarting from murderous
Bombings, that his government has been infiltrated by
Boko Haram.
·
In February 2012, a serving PDP senator from Borno
South (Mohammed Ali Ndume) was arrested for being a
member of Boko Haram.
·
In March 2012, Ndume deposed to an affidavit before a
Federal High Court wherein he stated that Vice-
President Namadi Sambo was aware of his activities
with Boko Haram.
·
In April 2012, General Andrew Owoeye Azazi , the
National Security Adviser, averred that there was
indisputable proof that Boko Haram is PDP. As things
stand, President Good-luck Jonathan is the national
leader of PDP.
· In April 2012, Henry Okah (while standing trial on
Terrorism charges) deposed to an affidavit before a
South African court that President Good-luck Jonathan
was the sponsor of the October 1, 2010 bombing at
Eagle square. It is on record that as governor of a Niger-
delta state, Dr Good-luck Jonathan (together with his
brother governors) had used the MEND to command
the attention of the Nigerian state.
· As a Party, we are aware of the role played by
Jonathan’s PDP in the way the People’s post-electoral
angst (at the subversion of their electoral will) was
turned into murderous ethno-religious mayhem.
· We are also aware about how the Jonathan
administration has consistently used the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN) under the leadership of his
fellow Niger-delta Nigerian, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, to
demonize GMB in the despicable attempt to veil the
murderous intent of the administration.
Meanwhile, with the hullaballoo that Dr Jonathan and
his PDP elements have unwittingly caused within the
Polity, should it be interpreted that there is a real effort
towards ensuring that the 2015 election is also rigged
as before in giving vim to the PDP Leaders’ claim of
ruling Nigeria for 60 years? As a Nation, we are
witnesses to the manner in which rigged elections have
foisted on the Nation cluelessness in governance and
rapacious impudence; it is indeed a dreary road to
tread.
We insist that it is never ignoble to lose elections
because President Abraham Lincoln, before being
reputed to be the best American President that ever
existed, was known to have lost elections several times.
GMB, though lost Presidential elections three times to
the rigging collusion of the Nigerian presidency and the
electoral umpire, took the loss each time (like Abraham
Lincoln) with equanimity!
In the meantime, we shall continue to trumpet the
sterling qualities of the Buhari brand which is still a
rarity among the Political players in our nation’s season
of anomie. We stand unwaveringly by the statement
credited to GMB!
God bless Nigeria.

National Publicity Secretary, CPC
(Wednesday, 16th May, 2012).http:///3pxKTwNR

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has said the Lagos
State government acted responsibly and in accordance
with the state’s civil/public service rules in sacking the
striking doctors in its employment.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National
Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party also
accused the petulant doctors of flouting industrial laws by
declaring the strike that led to their sack without issuing
the necessary notice to their employers.
It said they were also guilty of serious misconduct by
refusing to respond to the queries issued to them to
explain their absence without official leave from work,
adding that the consequences of their action were clearly
spelt out in the civil service rules, and that no responsible
employer would condone such egregious action from its
employees.
“We have waited this long to comment on this issue
because we were studying all the details of the situation
that led to the strike and the sack. Having concluded our
painstaking investigation, we can say without equivocation
that the government acted responsibly and in accordance
with the necessary rules and regulations.
“Contrary to the misinformation being peddled by some
mischievous individuals and groups, the strike that led to
the doctors’ strike has nothing to do with their conditions
of service, but is related to the desire of a group that wants
to continue to hold the government and the people to
ransom through incessant strikes over every frivolous
issue.
“We say this because the Lagos State government has met
all the demands of the doctors during their earlier strike:
payment of the so-called Consolidated Medical Salary
Structure (CONMESS) which has been accommodated in
the approved salary structures for the state, even when the
federal government that negotiated it did not consult the
state government; reinstatement of Dr. Ibrahim Olaifa and
the reactivation of the deduction and remittance of the
check-off dues to the Medical Guild. Complaints of high
taxation cannot be handled by the state government
because taxation is a federal government issue.”
The party however said it was cheap and uncharitable for
the PDP to try to cash in on a serious issue by using such
term as ‘fascist’ to describe the doctors’ sack. It therefore
and challenged the party to say how much the PDP states
pay the doctors in their employ and how many doctors
each of them has employed.
“There is no need to politicise the issues on ground,
because innocent Nigerians, irrespective of their party
affiliation, suffer greatly, with some, even losing their lives,
every time doctors fling away their stethoscopes in the
name of a strike. What is expected is for every responsible
citizen and group to prevail on the doctors, who have been
so remunerated, to always consider their impact of their
incessant strikes on their patients,’’ it said.
“The latest strike by the doctors is based on totally new
and unreasonable demands by the doctors, who are asking
the state government to pay them far in excess of what
was contained in CONMESS! This in a state where,
unknown to many, some consultants are already earning
more than 800,000 naira a month!
‘’It is on the basis of this totally new and unrealistic
demands that the doctors gave a mere 24-hour notice to
embark on an three-day warning strike, and gave no notice
at all to embark on their now ill-fated indefinite strike,
without worrying about the impact of their action on the
public.
“In order words, there is nothing altruistic about the
doctors’ strike. It is all about them and them alone. They
do not care whether or not the state government can meet
overhead or development costs, or whether the hospitals
where they work can even be adequately equipped. What
matters is for the ever-elastic demands of the seemingly-
insatiable doctors to be met once they are issued. This is
unrealistic and untenable, and the doctors must be told in
clear terms,’’ ACN said.

The national secretary of the Congress for Progressive
Change, CPC, Alhaji Buba Galadima, has blamed the
inability of President Goodluck Jonathan to perform on his
penchant for appointing persons into strategic government
positions based on tribalism.
Galadima, who was one of the activists, who spearheaded
the Jonathan presidency in 2010 via the Save Nigeria
Group, SNG, also accused the president of using his office
to confer undue advantage on his kinsmen, thereby
alienating the north and other sections of the country.
In an exclusive interview with leadership weekend,
Galadima pointed out that the president’s style of
leadership had largely infuriated the majority of the people
of the north who have so far not felt the impact of the
administration.
Asked to explain how the president has alienated the north
from the scheme of things, he said, “Jonathan has done
that through his utterances and actions and balkanized us
into ‘we and them’.
“Through his actions and those of his aides, they want to
tell people that these ones are Christians and these ones
are Muslims; these ones are northerners and these ones
are southerners.”
The CPC national secretary said that President Jonathan
would also not be able to solve the country’s problems
since he had surrounded himself with inexperienced and
myopic persons from one part of the country, thereby
‘ethnicizing’ governance.
Galadima also lamented that the north had been
discriminated against in the training of youths by the
federal government all in its bid to give an edge to the
southerners.
But reminded that the training programme was actually
started by the late President Yar’Adua under his amnesty
package for Niger Delta militants, Galadima responded:
“Let me tell you something practical; Jonathan has been
sending people from the Niger Delta and the south-south
in their thousands overseas for training since he came on
board.
“How many has he sent from the north or other parts of
the country? Do we all have to be militants before we are
recognized and given attention by his administration?
“If he can do that to the ones they call militants, then, it
means he can do the same to Boko Haram members who
have also become militants. They should send them to
Egypt or the Emirates to go and learn trades so that you
and I can have peace and sleep with our eyes closed.”
He however said that prominent northern leaders did not
want the country to break up based on their strong belief
that the Jonathan era will pass away for a leader who
would be able to unite the country and bring about
national transformation and reconciliation.
Galadima pleaded with Jonathan to change his leadership
style and bring in experienced persons to be able to move
the country forward.
Efforts to speak with the PDP national publicity secretary
proved abortive, as he was said to be out of town when our
correspondent visited his office.
He could also not be reached by the telephone, but a
source in the party said it would amount to dignifying Buba
Galadima if the party responded to his wild allegations.
“Who is Galadima for us to respond to his wild allegations
against the president and the party?” the man asked
angrily.

This thread is for muslims alone and Ȋ̝̊ don't know its now a crime i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ Nigeria to associate with any religion U̶̲̥̅̊ like. A̶̲̥̅♏ a muslim and A̶̲̥̅♏ not a terrorist...

By SaharaReporters, New York
Islamist militant sect Boko Haram has revealed that a
purported telephone call made to the African
Independent Television (AIT) by a caller pretending to
be a Boko Haram spokesperson was fake.
A source close to the sect told Saharareporters that the
no one in the sect or any on its leadership initiated a
call threatening to attack Lagos and Abuja in 72 hours.
A Nigerian local TV station-African Independent
Television- had played a phone call in which an
individual claiming to be a representative of Boko
Haram threatened to attack Lagos and Abuja in 72
hours.
The caller also requested that Nigeria President
Goodluck Jonathan unconditionally meet with the sect
in Yobe state, without security, to discuss the terms of
a ceasefire, but our most reliable source said the call
was a prank pulled by individuals capitalizing on the
hysteria created by Boko Haram's recent attacks in
northern Nigeria.

Outsourcing=Slavery...

Staff of the Jos Call Centre of MTN, a telecommunications
operator, on Tuesday took to the streets to protest the
suspension of 10 of their members.
The staff, clad in MTN Yellow T-Shirts, claimed that their
colleagues were suspended by CNSSL, the consultant outfit
managing the centre for the telecommunications company.
They took over some major streets in the city, chanting
solidarity songs and asked the company management
to reinstate the affected staff.
The protesting staff said those suspended are six union
executive committee members and four others.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the staff
carried placards, some of which read ``Say `No’ to slave
wage'', and ``MTN and CNSSL are partners in crime''.
Others carried placards with inscriptions such as
``Nigerians are slaves to South Africans, what a pity'', and
``Enough is enough, no more slavery''.
The protesting staff were, however, orderly and peaceful as
they were surrounded by some policemen and men of the
security Special Task Force.
NAN gathered that this was ostensibly to avoid any
breakdown of law and order.
NAN recalls that the staff had last Tuesday protested
against management's plans to suspend the officials.
This was after the affected staff were reportedly compelled
to sign their suspension letters.
It would be recalled that the Call Centre staff were allowed
to form a union after the centre was picketed on March 14,
2012 by NLC over alleged poor conditions of service.
In the Memorandum of Understanding signed then by the
NLC and the CNSSL management, the latter had permitted
the workers to join unions of their choice.
Immediately after this, an interim executive committee was
installed.
Paul Afolabi, the acting Chairman of the Call Centre's
branch of the National Union of Telecommunications
Employees, claimed that the affected staff had done
nothing wrong to warrant any suspension.
Afolabi told NAN in an interview that CNSSL management
and NLC agreed then that nobody would be victimised,
thus leading to the opportunity to form unions.
He wondered why the formation of the union should be a
worry to the company.
``This is a ploy to divert attention from the issues on
ground. We will not be deterred until they improve our
conditions of service.
``The difference between what we take in Jos here and
those of other call centres in Lagos, Kano and Kaduna is
just too much,'' the union official said.
He said, as a way of pressing home their demands, the
staff would not honour the slated meeting with the
management on May 3, 2012 unless the workers were
recalled.
Afolabi had told NAN the meeting was earlier scheduled in
order to address the issues at hand.
``The management must recall our suspended members
before negotiations will continue,'' he vowed.
Efforts to speak with Jibrin Bancir, the Plateau NLC
Chairman, proved abortive as calls to his mobile phone
lines were not going through.
The management of the centre, on its part, refused to talk
to NAN on the matter after several efforts.(NAN)
