U.S. releases damning human rights report on Nigeria under Buhari 10 days before talks with Trump*

*

By

 Simon Ateba, Washington D.C.

 -

April 21, 2018

President Buhari receives in Audience U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in State House on 12th Mar 2018

The United States government on Friday released a damning human rights report on Nigeria, saying grave violations continued to increase in 2017 while officials who perpetrated them were almost never prosecuted by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Why it matters: President Buhari is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on April 30, and both men would likely discuss further U.S. military assistance to Nigeria against the backdrop of serious human rights violations by security forces who use the same weapons to kill civilians.

The U.S. annual report on global human rights violations, released in Washington D.C. on Friday afternoon, said the administration of President Buhari "took steps to investigate alleged abuses, but fewer steps to prosecute officials who committed violations, whether in the security forces or elsewhere in the government".

"Impunity remained widespread at all levels of government. The government did not adequately investigate or prosecute most of the major outstanding allegations of human rights violations by the security forces or the majority of cases of police or military extortion or other abuse of power," the report said.

You can read the executive summary of the report here. Human Rights Report on Nigeria Today News Africa

It said the most significant human rights issues included extrajudicial and arbitrary killings; disappearances and arbitrary detentions; torture, particularly in detention facilities, including sexual exploitation and abuse; use of children by some security elements, looting, and destruction of property.

There were also civilian detentions in military facilities, often based on flimsy evidence; denial of fair public trial; executive influence on the judiciary; infringement on citizens' privacy rights; restrictions on freedoms of speech, press, assembly, and movement

This was in addition to official corruption; lack of accountability in cases involving violence against women and children, including female genital mutilation/cutting and sexual exploitation of children; trafficking in persons; early and forced marriages; criminalization of status and same-sex sexual conduct based on sexual orientation and gender identity; and forced and bonded labor.

The report recognized that Boko Haram terror group also committed a myriad of human rights violations, killing and torturing and imprisoning women and children and bombing entire villages.

"The groups conducted numerous attacks on government and civilian targets that resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries, widespread destruction, the internal displacement of approximately 1.8 million persons, and external displacement of an estimated 205,000 Nigerian refugees to neighboring countries, principally Cameroon, Chad, and Niger," the report said.

 

Boko Haram's numerous attacks often targeted civilians. The group, which recruited and forcefully conscripted child soldiers, carried out scores of suicide bombings–many by young women and girls forced into doing so–and other attacks on population centers in the Northeast and in Cameroon, Chad, and Niger.

"Abductions by Boko Haram continued. The group subjected many abducted women and girls to sexual and gender-based violence, including forced marriages and rape. The government investigated attacks by Boko Haram and ISIS-WA and took some steps to prosecute their members, although the majority of suspected insurgent group supporters were held in military custody without charge,

"In its response to Boko Haram and ISIS-WA attacks, and at times in response to crime and insecurity in general, security service personnel perpetrated extrajudicial killings and engaged in torture, sexual exploitation and abuse, arbitrary detention, mistreatment of detainees, use of children by some security elements, looting, and destruction of property. The country also suffered from ethnic, regional, and religious violence," the report added.

NIGERIAN YOUTHS START A MOVEMENT CALLED "LAZY NIGERIANS" AND VOW TO MOBILIZE 20 MILLION VOTES TO RETIRE BUHARI FROM POLITICS BY 2019

BREAKING:

NIGERIAN YOUTHS START A MOVEMENT CALLED "LAZY NIGERIANS" AND VOW TO MOBILIZE 20 MILLION VOTES TO RETIRE BUHARI FROM POLITICS BY 2019:

Provoked by the utterances of Buhari as he is always disgracing Nigerians before the international community during any international events; Nigerians youths have vowed to show Buhari that they are not lazy by using a movement called, "LAZY NIGERIANS" to mobilize 20 million votes against him so as to send him back to Daura by 2019 and retire him from politics, Arise News247 reports.

The Twitter handle for the movement

http://www.twitter.com/LazyNigeriansNG

It has already generated over 500 followers.

Arise News247 notes that while speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster on Wednesday, 18th April, 2018 Buhari bombed Nigerian youths as follows:

"About the economy, we have a very young population, our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million. This is a very conservative one," Buhari said.

"More than 60 percent of the population is below 30, a lot of them haven't been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria is an oil producing country, therefore, they should sit and do nothing, and get housing, healthcare and education for free," he 

[Welcome to Voxpopulid] Nigerian youths are lazy & uneducated. Always wanting free oil money" ~ PMB*

 Sir, you are absolutely correct. One of the lazy Nigerian youths who is enjoying free oil money had an accident with the power bike he bought with free oil money not too long ago, and he was flown abroad for treatment with free oil money, then he hired a jet with free oil money from London to Abuja after his treatment. 

Sir, I completely agree with you that the Nigerian youths are lazy and uneducated and always wanting free oil money. Their role models are in Aso Rock enjoying free oil money without even solving any problem for the country. When they are ill, they fly abroad for medical vacation with free oil money. 

Why would anyone disagree with you that the Nigerian youths are uneducated? It's very obvious. That's why they don't even know their rights. They keep defending your ineptitude. 

You enjoyed free education as a young man, but today the youths are deprived of basic education. You were a governor, a petroleum commissioner and a head of states as a youth, but today, youths are on social media defending your failures.

Honestly, I agree with you that the Nigerian youths are lazy, that's why you ruled Nigeria as a youth and have also grabbed the job as an old man. The youths are too ignorant to even know the implication of your comments. They don't even know you and your fellow old men are doing jobs they should ordinarily be doing.

Sir, the most interesting aspect of this your truth is that you said it in a country where their government provides basic infrastructures, almost free education, free WiFi, free health care, almost free investment loans for their youths. While, in your own country, these lazy and uneducated youths, provide their own electricity, schools, security, roads, healthcare etc.. Yet, the indolent youths use their "free oil money" to buy mobile data to defend your ineptitude. 

Sir, let me remind you that we have seen so many Nigerian youths who were almost useless in Nigeria, but when they cross over to the western world, they suddenly begin to excel in different fields of endeavor. What do you think is responsible for their positive output in the foreign land? Your guess is as good as mine, Sir- The difference is not farfetched. A responsible government plan for their youths and create enabling environment for the youths to be able to create wealth and contribute to National development. Can we say the same of your own country? Certainly Not! Instead, we have lazy, uneducated youths who would hang on telecommunication masts and electric cables to shout SAI BABA when you visit their states. I only wish they knew better. 

Sir, Finally, let me ask you, Sir, apart from the free oil money we have been paying you since your days as a youth till date, what have you been able to make out for yourself on your own? Do you have thriving businesses that are providing employment for the Nigerian youths? Have you invented anything on your own? Sir, you can now see that this free oil money is what has kept you going for over 50 years. Perhaps this laziness is not limited to the youths alone, I guess some 75-year-old incompetent presidents are also lazy and love free oil money, that's why they want to remain in power till they are 80 years old. If we take away the free oil money we have been paying you and audit your life, are you sure you will have any worth, Sir?

I leave you to your conscience, Sir.

Nigerian youths are lazy & uneducated. Always wanting free oil money" ~ PMB*

*Nigerian youths are lazy & uneducated. Always wanting free oil money" ~ PMB*

 Sir, you are absolutely correct. One of the lazy Nigerian youths who is enjoying free oil money had an accident with the power bike he bought with free oil money not too long ago, and he was flown abroad for treatment with free oil money, then he hired a jet with free oil money from London to Abuja after his treatment. 

Sir, I completely agree with you that the Nigerian youths are lazy and uneducated and always wanting free oil money. Their role models are in Aso Rock enjoying free oil money without even solving any problem for the country. When they are ill, they fly abroad for medical vacation with free oil money. 

Why would anyone disagree with you that the Nigerian youths are uneducated? It's very obvious. That's why they don't even know their rights. They keep defending your ineptitude. 

You enjoyed free education as a young man, but today the youths are deprived of basic education. You were a governor, a petroleum commissioner and a head of states as a youth, but today, youths are on social media defending your failures.

Honestly, I agree with you that the Nigerian youths are lazy, that's why you ruled Nigeria as a youth and have also grabbed the job as an old man. The youths are too ignorant to even know the implication of your comments. They don't even know you and your fellow old men are doing jobs they should ordinarily be doing.

Sir, the most interesting aspect of this your truth is that you said it in a country where their government provides basic infrastructures, almost free education, free WiFi, free health care, almost free investment loans for their youths. While, in your own country, these lazy and uneducated youths, provide their own electricity, schools, security, roads, healthcare etc.. Yet, the indolent youths use their "free oil money" to buy mobile data to defend your ineptitude. 

Sir, let me remind you that we have seen so many Nigerian youths who were almost useless in Nigeria, but when they cross over to the western world, they suddenly begin to excel in different fields of endeavor. What do you think is responsible for their positive output in the foreign land? Your guess is as good as mine, Sir- The difference is not farfetched. A responsible government plan for their youths and create enabling environment for the youths to be able to create wealth and contribute to National development. Can we say the same of your own country? Certainly Not! Instead, we have lazy, uneducated youths who would hang on telecommunication masts and electric cables to shout SAI BABA when you visit their states. I only wish they knew better. 

Sir, Finally, let me ask you, Sir, apart from the free oil money we have been paying you since your days as a youth till date, what have you been able to make out for yourself on your own? Do you have thriving businesses that are providing employment for the Nigerian youths? Have you invented anything on your own? Sir, you can now see that this free oil money is what has kept you going for over 50 years. Perhaps this laziness is not limited to the youths alone, I guess some 75-year-old incompetent presidents are also lazy and love free oil money, that's why they want to remain in power till they are 80 years old. If we take away the free oil money we have been paying you and audit your life, are you sure you will have any worth, Sir?

RCCG Church Member & Worker Reacts To Redeemed Pastor's Resignation

Voxnews Publisher Olufemi Aduwo

It will be good the Pastor put the record straight

1. Africa Mission offering is not done every week; unless the Parish/Area/Zone/Province made a commitement to do so. I will be more clearer on this if I know his parish.

Also money does not go straight to the purse of mummy G.O. Foluke Adeboye; there is a board headed by Pastor Brown Oyitso.

2. The church does not place anyone under curse; only reading what Malachi 3:8-10 says.

3. Lands in camp are not bought but free of charge after paying developmental fees and meeting other requirements; one of which you must be a member of RCCG. If you decide to leave, you can remove your house, but the land belongs to RCCG.

4.You shall know the Truth, the Truth shall set you free, if you know it. I will implore Pastor Wellington to ask for the leading of the Holy Spirit.

I am writing as a private member and as a worker in RCCG,; Iam not the spoke's man.

5. RCCG is not a cult; there is free entry and free exit

RESPONSE TO TODAY’S INCIDENT IN THE SENATE CHAMBER

*RESPONSE TO TODAY'S INCIDENT IN THE SENATE CHAMBER*

Today, some hoodlums led by suspended Senator, Ovie Omo-Agege, walked into the Senate plenary and seized the symbol of authority of the Upper Legislative Chamber, the mace.

This action is an act of treason, as it is an attempt to overthrow a branch of the Federal Government of Nigeria by force, and it must be treated as such. All Security agencies must stand on the side of due process and immediately mobilize  their personnel to retrieve the mace and apprehend the mastermind and the perpetrators of this act.

This action is also an affront on the legislature, and the Leadership of the House has come to express their support against this action.

The Senate is now in an Executive session.

An updated statement will be released immediately after the closed door session.

How 2015 Election Was Rigged In North" – Tanko Yakassai

Voxnews

Elder statesman and prominent politician, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, has disclosed that massive rigging took place in the North in the 2015 general elections.
Yakassai revealed the electoral fraud to journalists when he led the newly formed Northern Leaders Stakeholders Assembly to former Military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, at his Uphill Mansion in Minna, the Niger State capital yesterday.

He cited instances of manipulation in the elections. According to him, while the electronic voting was religiously observed in the southern part of the country, it was not so observed in the north.

He remarked: "When the electronic voting was introduced, I was in support of it, but I observed what happened in the 2015 general election and I changed my mind.

"This is because it was religiously observed in the southern part of the country, but it was not so religiously observed in the northern parts of the country. It was from that moment that I began to have some reservations about the electronic voting pattern.

"There are many ways of rigging election. What happened in 2015 where the majority of southerners resident in the north were scared away from their places of residence, where they had registered, to their place of origin and therefore could not have the opportunity to vote, was rigging.


Again some of the southerners who did not run away were afraid to come out and vote on the day of election. So scaring people from coming out to vote for the candidates of their choice is also a form of rigging."

The 2015 election led to the emergence of Major- General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), a northerner, as president while the then incumbent, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, a southerner, lost.

Earlier at the meeting with Babangida, he lamented that most leaders of northern extraction had for long taken the support of northerners for granted, stressing that henceforth, it would not be business as usual.

Yakassai said they were at Babangida's house to inform the former leader of the objectives of the organisation dedicated to the unity and progress of the north.

Babangida praised the efforts of the group and assured them of his support as long as they worked for the unity of Nigeria.

Also at the meeting were Senator Joseph Waku, Alhaji Ghali Na Abba, Dr. Mohammed Data, Alhaji Abba Hana, Hajiya Inna Corona, Hajiya Zainab Main, Gimbia Rani, Alhaji Bala Mohammed and Dr. Umaru Babangida Aliyu, among others

El-Rufai to Buhari: "You Are Too Old For Power" [Archived

El-Rufai to Buhari: "You Are Too Old For Power" [Archived]    In 2010, the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mallam Nasir El-Rufai called on General Muhammadu Buhari to quit the 2011 elections.     Speaking with Daily Sun newspaper, El-Rufai called for the enthronement of a younger generation of leaders: "I have great respect for President Babangida. I think he has done a lot for Nigeria. You won't take that from him. He has made his mistakes like every human being, but people like President Babangida and General Buhari should just disappear. They should give way to a new set of people with new ideas. Young people preferably."    He urged Nigerian leaders to look at developed countries and observe the ages of their presidents: "Obama is 48 and Cameron is 43 for God's sake. So, why are we recycling leaders that ruled this country very well or very badly 25 years ago?"    "I was 25 years old when Buhari and Babangida were Heads of State and I am now 50 and they still want to be Head of State. I don't understand that. I don't understand that at all and I call on the young people of Nigeria to take their future into their hands and ensure that in the next election, they vote for a new generation of leaders.    "I think that we will not make progress until we break the link from the past and just move on. 70 per cent of Nigerians are below the age of 40. Many of these young people, the next generation, as they are called, are on internet services such as Facebook and twitter, using Blackberry and if you ask any of these people running for presidency, they will think that Blackberry is a fruit. So, we have to move away from there and stop thinking that this leadership thing is all about us or all about individuals.    We must put the future of the country at heart and give way to a new generation of leadership."  While declaring that the nation had something to celebrate for remaining united as one country despite fighting a civil war, El-Rufai, however, said there was a lot to reflect about. "As we look towards the next 50 years, I think the principal issue in Nigeria has been the failure of leadership. We have not made the progress that our human and natural resources entitled us to make and it is all because we have failed leaders," he noted.    On the forthcoming elections, El-Rufai said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would ensure credible elections in 2011. "I have personal confidence in Prof. Attahiru Jega. He is a man of great integrity. He is an honest man, who could not be bought at any price and for that reason, we are all hopeful that he will ensure free and fair elections."

Buhari failed all military exams he took in Nigeria and uses Psc, met for officers who were successful in exam

New York[RR]Abuja–All Progressive Congress, APC, candidate Mohammadu Buhari, 72, all Nigerian military exams he sat for, said former Minister Federal Capital Territory, FCT-Abuja, Nasir El-Rufai.

Since Buhari cannot prove his WAEC certificate claim, he is currently blaming everyone else but himself.

Daily Times, said, that 'THE academic credentials of former military ruler and presidential hopeful, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, were seized by the military junta of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida sometime in 1985.

Buhari also said, the the Nigerian Army has his certificate, but army came out and said, it doesn't have it, which he stated its side of the story following an affidavit sworn by General Buhari that all his academic credentials are with the Secretary, Military Board.

This statement came as the saga surrounding the academic qualification of the presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammed Buhari (Rtd), continues.

According to the Nigerian Army, besides other qualifications obtained by the General while in service, it was not in possession of his West African School Certificate.

The Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier-General Olajide Laleye, who said the army has been inundated with request for the General's credentials, added that it was only in possession of a letter from the Principal of the Provincial Secondary School, Kastina, recommending Buhari as fit for military commissioning in 1960.

He said that the Army also have in its possessions Nigerian Army Form 199A where the General indicated after commissioning that he obtained credits in four subjects and a pass in another. However, it is not in possession of a certificate to prove same.

Sequel to the release of the lists of aspirants seeking political offices by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and screening date for these aspirants, Journalist thronged the Headquarters of the Commission on Friday to get a fill of the aspirants profiles but unlike others, they could not find General Buhari's qualifications.

Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) who is the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the 2015 general elections has explained in an affidavit he deposed before an Abuja High Court that all his certificates were with the Secretary, Military Board.

All other presidential candidates, including President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had their credentials at the INEC Headquarters.

Mr. Buhari's affidavit was dated November 24, 2014 and was stamped and received by INEC on December 18, 2014.

Buhari, in the affidavit, said "I am the above-named person and deponent to this affidavit therein. All my academic qualifications documents as filled in my presidential form, President APC/001/2015, are currently with the Secretary, Military Board, as of the time of presenting this affidavit.

"The affidavit is made in good faith and for record purpose. The affidavit is made in good faith and for record purposes."

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has set January 16 – 18 for the formal screening of all eleven Presidential aspirants.

Read full text:

That was the submission on Wednesday of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the political party fielding General Buhari for next month's presidential election.

According to the party, the credentials were carted away by soldiers who raided the home of Buhari, when the Babangida junta seized power from the APC candidate in a coup.

Buhari, who had staged a coup against the civilian administration of Alhaji Shehu Shagari on 31 December 1983, was also ousted by his military colleagues on 27 August 1985, led by Gen. Babangida.

"After the coup and the arrest of Gen. Buhari by the Babangida administration, military officers raided the home of Buhari, ransacked it and carted away many documents. Buhari's academic credentials were among the documents that were taken away," a senior official of the APC, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin said on Wednesday.

Fashakin, who was the spokesman of Buhari's Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) before it merged with other parties to form the APC, made the disclosure during a live interview on Channels Television in Lagos.

Buhari's academic qualification has become an issue in the coming general election since the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) disclosed that the Army General had lodged with it an affidavit that his academic credentials were with military authorities.

Section 131 (d) of the 1999 constitution prescribes minimum qualification for election into the office of the president.

It states: "A person shall be qualified for election to the office of the President if – "he has been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent."

The provision is silent on whether the "school certificate" should be primary school or secondary school."

The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has consistently expressed fears that Buhari has neither.

Fashakin believes that Buhari will not be contravening the nation's laws even if fails to present his basic school leaving certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He outlined the primary and secondary schools attended by Buhari and drew attention to the several military trainings of the General.

Fashakin said that the Electoral Act simply requires that aspirants submit "documents" on their credentials, adding that the affidavit deposed to by Buhari that the certificates were with the military could satisfy the requirement of "document."

A top serving General at the Defence Headquarters, in an interview with the Daily Times on Wednesday, expressed doubts on Buhari's claim of credentials being with the military.

The General, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told the Daily Times: "The Army only keeps the Course Reports on officers and this remains confidential. In addition, the military takes custody only of photocopies of all other credentials submitted by officers. The originals of all credentials remain with the officers."

Before NNPC Kill Us

The NNPC boss disclosed that the nation lost about 148,533,000 million litres of petrol believed to have been diverted during the December fuel crisis was proud or rather bold to say his corporation could not track the movement of 4,501 trucks representing the quantity of the disappeared products. What kind of a government is this?

If NNPC could not track the movement of 4,501 trucks and the nation as a result of the corporation's docility or rather dubiousness lost about 148,533,000 million litres representing the quantity of the disappeared products, why is Maikanti Baru not held to account for the loss? Walai, this is one too many! Are we also still going to sweep this under the table as we already did to the plethora of dubious transactions including the $25 billion secret contracts coming from this same office of the group managing director of NNPC? 

Is it not becoming obvious that the President Mohhamadu Buhari's interventionist idea of running the nation's oil and gas sector has become a question, not an answer because rather than solve the initial problems, it is expanding them and even creating a new one. So we should be clapping for Baru for informing us that of the volume of petrol he imported for the nation, 148,533,000 million litres evaporated without any trace whatsoever? Haba Mallam!

Tragically, throughout the session with the NNPC boss at the Joint Senate and House of Reps investigative panel and up till today, no single lawmaker was sensible or rather vexed enough by the callous disclosure  to actually take on Baru and his NNPC on the casual disclosure that a whopping 4, 501 trucks loaded with petrol imported and fully paid for by the Nigerian government disappeared into the spirit realm. Without mincing words, this actually shows the quality of representation we have at the National Assembly. People who say they represent us are so naive, empty and self-centred that the things that affect the common man do not touch their emotions at all.

As a matter of urgent national importance, the NNPC boss should tell us: the facilities (with their locations) where the 4, 501 petrol trucks loaded the products from. What locations across the country were they expected to discharge the products? No truckloads at any depot/storage facility whether owned by the PPMC or private operators without full details of the owners of the trucks, volume off-take and mandated discharge destinations. The NNPC boss should make public these details. This will enable even ordinary Nigerians to help the corporation track the missing 4, 501 fully loaded petrol trucks. Yeye country!

Truth be told, the statement by Baru at the Joint National Assembly Committee was a panic outburst in attempt to cover up existing gaps between what NNPC claimed it imported and the actual volume that arrived the various coastal facilities in the country. And this is where the probe has to come even by the civil society organisations.

How possible is it for a whopping 4, 501 tankers of 80, 000 litres each on the average as claimed by the NNPC boss to just disappear between the coastal storage depots and their discharge point in the hinterland without any trace by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Civil Defence, Police, JTF, DSS, Customs and all of them on our roads? 

Is it not surprising that no single person in the entire NNPC system, DPR or the Office of the Minister of Petroleum can authoritatively say the exact daily volume of petrol we consume domestically? All we have are projections based on faulty and dubious assumptions. Figures ranging from 37 million through 50 million and now to Baru's 80 million litres have been thrown at us at various times.

If you don't know what we consume, how are you going to plan for it? Uninformed extrapolations in this matter only breed opportunities for corruption and this has been the case since we started this near 100 percent dependence on importation. Those who know would agree that the gap between 50 and 37 million on one hand and 50 million and now Baru's 80 million litres on the other are wide enough to accommodate all the wuru wuru in the product import bills in addition to subsidy and equalisation payments.

When this administration came into office in 2015, the government pegged the price of petrol was N87 per litre. President Mohammadu Buhari who is also the substantive petroleum minister and the NNPC in their wisdom jacked it up to N145 per litre as the appropriate price for the commodity. This represented a whopping 66.67 percent increase even when the crude oil prices at the spot markets at that time could literally be said to have crashed to less than $30 per barrel.

Now the only reason they are giving us for the unavailability of petroleum products for domestic consumption and the subsequent scheming to further jack up the price of petrol is that crude oil prices have grossly increased to almost $70 per barrel. "When the price of crude oil goes up in the international market, expect petrol scarcity as long as we still run a regulated market in the downstream sector," not my words, Kachikwu's. "Because Nigeria still can't refine the crude it produces, Nigerians would have to pay for imported petrol as the international market dictates." The question is: when crude oil price was less than $30 per barrel did the NNPC mark-down the pump price of petrol following the dictates of the oil market? Abeg make una go sit down!

All the talk about products prices being influenced by crude oil prices increased in the international markets are outright trash. As at the last check, NNPC still collects 450, 000 barrels of crude oil every day. That's the one they even agree they collect, obviously, the corporation may be taking far more as nobody anywhere in any office in this country knows the exact volume of crude pumped out and taken away on daily basis from all our fields by NNPC and its joint venture partners.

The 450,000 barrels allocated to the corporation was supposed to be for domestic refining and the crude-for-products swap arrangement. But it is well known that despite what the NNPC would want to claim, none of the refineries is working. So what happens to the 450,000 barrels the corporation takes every day?

When Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, showed up before Joint Committee session of the National Assembly on Thursday, January 4, 2018, these were his words: "As a result of the N26 difference per litre between the current landing cost of the petrol which stands at  N171 and the pump price of N145, NNPC which had been singularly importing the product at the volume of 25million litres per day since October last year, has been incurring a daily loss of about N800-N900million, cumulatively reaching N85.5billion today, in just three months."

The question is: are we spending this huge amount on the importation of petrol in addition to the 450, 000 barrels of crude the NNPC takes on a daily basis or the expenditure is the equivalent derivatives from the value of the crude allocated to carter for our domestic needs?  This is the kind of question our lawmakers and the civil society groups should be asking the managers of our nation's oil business.  But would they ask? No, and the reason is simple: they are the same people! God bless Nigeria!!

SubjectBuhari, Amaechi, others in protest rally against FG

Buhari and co travellers on the 19/11/2014 marching the streets of Abuja on protest .Do you think Buhari/APC led FG PDP to organise such protest in Abuja ? I doubt 

Buhari,  Amaechi, others in protest rally against FG

By Levinus Nwabughiogu
ABUJA—The All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential aspirant and former Head of State, Gen.Muhammadu Buhari; APC National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun and Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, yesterday, led thousands of party supporters in a protest rally in Abuja, accusing the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP-led Federal Government of playing politics with Boko Haram.

The protest tagged 'Salvation Rally', was aimed at drawing global attention to what the opposition party described as deliberate hijack of the Nigeria police and other security agencies by the ruling PDP.

According to them, the rally was essentially a clarion call against the increased spate of insecurity, killings, corruption, and police brutality against official opposition.

They also accused President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP of gross incompetence and unprecedented display of impunity.

Others at the event which started at the Eagle Square in Abuja through to the Police headquarters, were former governor of Osun State, Olagunsoye Oyinlola; APC's deputy national chairman, North-East, Senator Shuaibu Lawal; Senator Ali Ndume, Shaba Lafiagi and Senator Gbenga Ashafa.

Speaking at the rally, the opposition leaders took turns to lambast the Federal Government, saying that President Jonathan has failed Nigerians in all ramifications.

Our demands—APC leaders

The first to speak was Governor Amaechi who told the crowd, mainly APC supporters, that the rally would mark the end of PDP's impunity in the country.

According to him, restoring the withdrawn security details of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal and stopping the insurgency in the North-East amongst others were the demands President Jonathan must accede to.

He said: "Today will mark the beginning of our resistance to the President's attempt at owning the Nigeria Police and keeping the military in his pocket. They are either the Nigeria Police or Goodluck Jonathan's Police. They must choose one from today. Today, all of us must decide as a nation whether we will allow the President to continue to disobey court orders. The court has said that he should give back the Speaker his security details, and the President has disobeyed.

"Today, the President must tell us why our brothers and sisters are dying in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states and they are here enjoying in Abuja. The President must answer that; why is he comfortable and Nigerians are dying. Today, the insult of what they called stomach democracy must stop. This stomach infrastructure must stop.

"Today is the choice to stop the President from defeating our interest to be Nigerians, the interest to become responsible for our own lives and choose their president. Today, the President must tell us why he stopped INEC from distributing the polling units on population basis. Today, the President must tell us whether he is our president, regional president or an ethnic president.

"It is your choice to make. I am a governor but I am also a citizen. I think as citizens of Nigeria, today is the beginning for a struggle for democracy. You know we don't have democracy any more in Nigeria. What we have in Nigeria now is diarchy. Diarchy is a government headed by a civilian but under the support of the military. Today the President sits with the military against you and I. Today, we are told that the military will take over our elections. We must stop them today. It is your choice to make."

Magu Running EFCC On Gossips, Marabouts Advice" – DSS DG, Daur

Magu Running EFCC On Gossips, Marabouts Advice" – DSS DG, Daur

The Director General of the Department of State Services, DSS, Lawan Daura, has accused the Acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, of running the anti-graft agency based on gossips and political interference from certain quarters and marabouts.

Daura said this before the Senate ad-hoc committee, adding that the method, which he described as 'brawn instead of brain', deployed by EFCC under Magu, is a Gestapo style that belongs to dictatorial regimes.


He said: "The method (brawn instead of brain) deployed by the current EFCC under Magu is a Gestapo style that belongs to dictatorial regime.

"The Acting Chairman runs the Agency based on public rumours, manoeuvres, gossips, political interference from certain quarters and marabouts."

Daura also accused Magu of vendetta mission against the DSS as a result of the indictment of his close friend, retired Air Commodore Mohammed Umar, who was involved in extorting money from suspects under investigation by the Presidential Committee Investigating Defence Procurement between 2014 and 2015.

He said although the EFCC has the power to investigate financial crimes, but investigation of the finances of the DSS was an exception in this case and can only be waived with the approval of the President.


The report of the ad-hoc committee, sighted by The Eagle Online, said: "The extant law regulating the Service prohibits it from the commission's kind of investigation without a presidential order.

"It was suggested to him to call EFCC Board meeting to thrash it out or to secure such presidential order.

"The service also advised appropriate authorities to set up a Presidential Committee in the manner that the Tower/NIA money was investigated." In the report, Magu was indicted on several grounds.

BEWARE OF FAKE LETTER CIRCULATING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

Dr Bode Olajumoke reacts to fake letter mishieveously attributed to him thus:-

"I have received numerous enquiries from well wishers regarding an article under my name attacking OBJ. This same article was received by me without a name to it, but at the end, it had a Balogun's Enlightenment Forum - I am not a member of this Forum. Reissuing the letter now under my name must be an act of mischief! The day the OBJ's letter to PMB came out on Liberal Platform, I fully endorsed its contents, so why would I have so soon conflicted my support by issuing the said letter in such an uncouth, raw, and abusive language? The writer is certainly a coward by inserting my name. OBJ and I might not be friends as such, but as a cultured yoruba man, I would not really use such gutter language on an elderly citizen!

It is possible that the mischief maker must have assumed that I might be eyeing a political post and hence the need therefore to defame me! 

Let me thank my friends and relations across the nation who have drawn my attention to this mischief and assure them that I am not the author of the post, and most importantly I am not a coward!

The Arewa Pastors

THE MAN THAT LED A GROUP IN THE NAME OF "AREWA PASTORS" TO ASO ROCK TO SCAM BUHARI WAS ONCE ARRESTED BY EFCC IN A CASE OF OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCE AND HE IS FROM PORT HARCOURT AND IS NEVER A BISHOP AS FALSELY CLAIMED:

As we have vowed to dig into the issue of those who used the name of *Arewa Pastors" to dupe Buhari and expose all of them, we have been able to dig out the person that led them to Aso Rock in the name of "Bishop John Abu Richard".

Our findings reveal as follows:

1. His real name is John Richard. He is not known as Abu as he attached to his name to make it looks like a northerner. 

2. He does reside anywhere in the north and he has no business in the north. 

3. He is based in Port Harcourt, where all the preparations for the visit to Aso Rock was hatched. His known address is in Odilli Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. 

4. He is not a Bishop and has never been a Bishop. 

For clarity, the first Pentecostal Archbishop to be installed in the north is Archbishop Leonard Bature Kawas (known as Mabudi of Africa). And after the passing unto glory of Archbishop Benson Idahosa, the first Pentecostal Archbishop to be installed in Port Harcourt is Archbishop Amaga. 

Neither Archbishop Kawas nor Archbishop Amaga ever know him as a Bishop. And the Council of Bishops in Nigeria, Africa and the world is one of the most organized clergy groups. 

5. He was once arrested by the men of the EFCC that he was allegedly involved in a case of obtaining money by false pretence.

So one can deduce the real purpose of their visit and why they hid under fake identity, falsely claiming to be from the north, representing pastors from the north, yet never resided in the north nor have any business in the north. 

WATCH OUT FOR MORE EXPOSITIONS:

Since they claimed that they will expose those of us not supporting Buhari, we taking the lead by exposing their hidden evil works. 

And I want to make this clear that some of us that vowed to retire Buhari from politics are bold to publicly stand our ground against Buhari without any fear. So what do the so called "Arewa Pastors" want to expose to Buhari when we are already working against him publicly?

I still remain yours sincerely, Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba of the Total Liberation Mission, Kaduna.

BUHARI SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ELECTED IN THE FIRST INSTANCE*

*BUHARI SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ELECTED IN THE FIRST INSTANCE*

                  By OSA

The Clear and Present Danger of power going back to the North because they simply believe they own Nigeria, and particularly the Greater Danger of power in the hands of Muhammadu Buhari a man of low intellect, limited education and fixed tribal and ethnic considerations, were all that I Harped upon from 2013 to 2015.

Particularly the issue of a Buhari who never rose beyond a tiny aperture of world view that centered on Islam and Fulani irredentism..

I wrote in 2014, inter alia and many people would recollect on all of the antecedents of a Buhari, the mentally lazy and ignorantly arrogant, who never integrated himself into the modern world because he preferred his low level reveling as a Fulani, relishing in the tiny cocoon of Uthman Dan Fodio's world of cows, sharia and Jihad, kare jini, biri jini world of blood and Conquests..

Buhari was a 40 year old that could still have gone back to school, or do some scholarly work involving researches, publications, writings.

A memoir or an autobiography could have been written... Or even make himself available to the world via safely International agencies of the United Nations... Even Giving lectures in citadels of learning, compiling military works would have kept Buhari abreast of modern realities that would have improved his knowledge base akin to learning in a non-schooling environment, but learning and self improvement, all the same.

The Buhari that Did None of this, still could have improved upon himself by going into the corporate world to become an investor in national and international businesses, didn't do so. Buhari could have joined corporate players by becoming a Board member of big corporations, learning international trade and learning modern economic trends and becoming accustomed to the dynamics of modern Ranching among others, but what did Buhari do....

Buhari simply went back to being an itinerant Fulani owning cows..and nothing added.

No technology to derive corned beef.

No milk factory to make milk.

No cow and hide synergy to be a by-product.

Just ordinary Bororo Fulani cattle breeder.

A corrupt Buhari we exposed with a 5 storey building in Kaduna, an 11 house estate Number 9 Udo Udoma street Asokoro in Abuja, a Buhari with a house in Bedford, London.

Same Buhari who trained 3 children simultaneously in UK universities that British newspapers exposed and taunted...! 

And that is the man we made president!??

Buhari said in 2014, and I quote, "I cannot live without Cows"!

He didn't mention, computers, laptops, Information search engines, Newspapers... He said, "cows".

And what did we expect... !?

Simply this — BUHARI A MAN WHO DOES NOT RESPECT THE LAW!!

Buhari snubbed the same the same Nigerians he came seeking their votes in 2003, 2007, and 2015 2017, after refusing to appear before Justice Oputa Truth and Reconciliation Panel. Despite the fact that Buhari knew how important reconciliation is to the stability of democracy. Buhari has never apologized for this at anytime.

Buhari came to Ibadan to chastise governor Lam Adesina for not locking up the same Yoruba farmers his Fulani people killed their wives and children and destroyed their farms in year 2000.

This same Buhari we told you, voted against a Nigerian of Igbo descent Peter Onu for the OAU top post to which Buhari became the first Head of State in the world to vote against his own candidate, when he voted for Idi of Niger Republic.

This same Buhari was with Ambassador Saanu on an official trip to Germany when he was petroleum minister and DID NOT SPEAK even once to the Yoruba Ambassador throughout the duration of the trip but as soon as they got to German soil broke into Hausa on sighting the Nigerian Ambassador who was a Northerner.

We warned, I warned ...! 

Not just warn with words, I provided a string of empirical evidences long enough for anyone with a cognitive Reckoning to see the facts as they were presented.

How could people not have known that the presidency doesn't change people... That it only reveals who you are. 

Buhari could not and would not change.

He told you that in many words —

He said he loved his cows and cannot live without his cows... Wasn't that clear enough!??

This was going to be No change, we told you.

This was just a power shift to the North of which the North bragged, "Power will not go back to the south again".

In that statement alone was a million cues...!

All of these facts I wrote on, to prepare the minds of Nigerians against what to expect of a Buhari presidency.

And here we are today with a Northern Domination ever so openly displayed and ever so forcefully Entrenched!

The one that ought to have been most compelling was the death of our young Southern Christian youth Corps members who were slaughtered like rams, and then burnt by an irate crowd, shouting, "Sai Baba", in the aftermath of Buhari losing the 2011 elections... That Buhari could come out with a callous statement that, "there will be no apology for those killed", was perhaps the clearest pointer that the DEATH OF THE INNOCENT MEANS NOTHING TO THIS MAN OF BLOOD....

But... Has Buhari not always said, "The dogs and the baboon will flow in Blood", in reference to losing any election...!??

ISLAMISATION: CAN Disowns Arewa Pastors

The attention of the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has been drawn to a group of clergymen under the aegis of Arewa Pastors Peace Initiative, Nigeria (APPIN) who visited President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday to pledge their support to him and his government. 

The group went further to the extent of claiming to the President that they knew some Pastors who are being used by the opposition against his government. Claiming that islamisation agenda is the idea of the opposition is the least expected of those who claim to be Christians in the country where Christians are becoming endangered species daily. 

CAN does not know any of them and their organisation is even alien to the Association and fortunately enough they did not claim to be part of CAN. We are happy that the Northern Christian Association of Nigeria (Northern CAN) has also disowned them.

We are totally disappointed that a group of people who claimed to be Pastors will be visiting the President without asking for the freedom of Leah Sharibu and over 100 Chibok girls who are languishing in the captivity of the Boko Haram terrorists, whose only crime is their religion.

We wonder why these supporters of our President, who claimed to be Servants of God, would not ask him to stop the unending killings going on under his watch in the Christian predominant communities in the North Central and some states in the South. They were so concern with the 2019 election that they forgot to tell the President that the primary duty of any serious government is to provide security to the governed irrespective of their religious and ethnic affiliations.

Telling President Buhari that the opposition had hired some pastors against his government speaks volume of where they are coming from and who they are in the body of Christ. We are waiting for the list of the pastors whom they know that are on the pay roll list of the opposition who are allegedly guilty of hate speech. We all know how those who engaged in such an ungodly exercise in the Bible ended up.

The Christian Association of Nigeria  will not be discouraged by the activities of those whose agenda include but not limited to polarisation of the Association and blackmailing its leadership. We cannot turn the blind eye to the ordeal of our brothers and sisters anywhere in the country. Those who are not concerned about the violence in the country are also free to associate and express their views while Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church is on the throne to reward loyalty and judge the betrayals sooner or later. 

CAN as an organisation is apolitical and we always ask our members to pray for President Buhari and other political office holders in the country to rule with the fear of God.

Thank You

Signed 

Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, Special Assistant, (Media&Communications) to the CAN President, His Eminence, Rev Dr Samson Olasupo Ayokunle.
