$1bn ECA withdrawal to fight b/haram: How justified?

  Why is the Federal Government withdrawing $1bn from the Excess Crude Account to fund the fight against insurgency in the North-East after Nigerians have been made to believe that Boko Haram had been defeated? What about the huge sums of money allocated annually to defence spending? Has the Federal Government considered the opportunity cost of this decision given that the amount in question (about N365bn) is more than the combined 2018 capital allocation to critical sectors of the economy such as  Agriculture (N118.9bn), Health (N71.1bn), Education (N61.7bn), Science & Technology (N43.2bn), Mines & Steel Development (N12.9bn)? Shouldn’t approval have been sought from the National Assembly to withdraw money from an account having no constitutional backing?These are some of the questions agitating the minds of many Nigerians following a recent decision of the National Economic Council (comprising all state governors as members with the Vice President...

Governor Fayose, Yari clash in Aso Rock over $1bn Boko Haram fund

  L atest report as Opposition by some governors to the $1 billion proposed spending on the war against insurgency may cause a rift in the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF). Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti and Abdul-Aziz Yari of Zamfara and Chairman, Nigerian Governors’ Forum on Tuesday disagreed over the fund. The NGF, at its last National Economic Council (NEC) meeting chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, was alleged to have unanimously agreed to a withdrawal of $1 billion out of the $2.3 billion left in the Excess Crude Account for the prosecution of the war against Boko Haram. But Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, who has already filed a case against the Federal Government, insisted he was never a party to the anti-insurgency deduction decision. Fayose said the people of Ekiti State need their own share of the money to solve issues of hunger in the state. “I am not in support of the $1 billion deduction and will never be in support. “In my state, we have agr...

Excess Crude Account: Yari has exposed Amaechi, El-rufai as liars – Reno Omokri

  Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has reacted to the $1 billion withdrawal from the Excess crude account stating that Zamfara state governor and chairman of the Nigerian governors forum, Abdulazeez Yari has exposed Rotimi Amaechi, Nasir El-rufai, Adams Oshiomole and the APC as liars. Below is a statement by Omokri; In an attempt to justify the dubious process by which $1 Bill ion was taken from the Excess Crude Account by the Federal Government ostensibly to fund an anti terror war with the same Boko Haram that the Buhari administration said was ‘finished’ and ‘technically defeated’, the Zamfara state Governor, Abdulaziz Yari, who is also the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum made some startling revelations which has exposed him to ridicule and further shown that his party, the All Progressive Congress, and its members, are a patently dishonest bunch with no credibility whatsoever. Speaking yesterday (Tuesday 19th December , 2017) at Aso Rock Pr...

IPOB: THE ECHOING SONG OF THE PAST BETRAYAL, A CANCER THAT MUST DIE

  The former Eastern region otherwise known as Biafra which is part of Nigeria today, has been a restless region, characterized by several agitations since the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorate in 1914 by the British economic hitman, Lord Lugard. This agitations perhaps, is owing to the overwhelming injustice, economic emasculation, cancerous tribalism, nepotism, political disenfranchisement, ecological degradation and the continuous annihilation of the Indigenous People within the region by the Nigerian state from time to time. Moreover, the British Nigeria colonialists employed a very dangerous and corrosive tactics known as divide and rule strategy which effectively has pitted brothers against brothers within the region. However, there are MEN who had risen above this premordial sentiments in other to question the lawlessness and maximum oppressiveness of the Nigerian state. Ranging from the Biafra revolution led by Gen Chukwuemeka Odume...

  PARIS — More than 50 world leaders are gathering in Paris for a summit that President Emmanuel Macron hopes will give new momentum to the fight against global warming, despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s rejection of the Paris climate accord.

Participants are expected to announce billions of dollars’ worth of projects to help poor countries and industries reduce emissions. Macron, who’s also using the event to raise his international profile, did not invite Trump

Moderate and peaceful Islamists tried to burn a synagogue in Sweden over Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital

https://youtu.be/faOi_C0XHEw Muslims tried to burn a synagogue in Sweden after Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It only shows you what will happen to all synagogues and churches in Jerusalem under the control of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Muslims carry out terrorist attacks "in the name of Allah" it has nothing to do with Trump, Jerusalem or Israel. The Western world must stand with Israel against radical Islamic terrorism. Islamic countries use the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in an attempt to take control of the holy sites in Jerusalem. There is no freedom of religion in any Muslim country, Israel is the only free democratic state in the entire Middle East. Just look at what happens to Christians in Neighboring Countries (Egypt, Iraq and Syria), the Islamic persecution of Christians across the Middle East has become genocide. Only Israel can protect the holy places in Jerusalem for all religions. History has been ma...

  A yearly prison scorecard has shown that hundreds of inmates awaiting trial across south south/southeast were hurriedly tried and executed by the Nigerian government in 2017. The report could not determine if a select people of select crime committed were targeted but noted that capital punishment were given to all - death by hanging. 99% percent of condemned people are indigenes of Biafra. Nigerian government is executing hundreds of people in a year across two specific political regions that have no instability or hostile situation. This is even coming at the back of international campaign to end capital punishment which is considered outdated. Executions in the South remain a shock as in the North where terrorism and crime thrives; number of execution for the year 2017 is minimal. Since three years ago when Radio Biafra hit Nigerian airwaves Nigeria has not remained the same and the subsequent arrest of the director of Radio Biafra heated the polity to its ...
