NIGERIA’S BOMB BLASTS (OCTOBER 1, 2010 THROWBACK)



NIGERIA’S BOMB BLASTS (OCTOBER 1, 2010 THROWBACK)


SO MANY QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED IN NIGERIA.THESE QUESTIONS WHICH WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DIRECTED TO RULING CLASS BY THE ELECTORATES AND NIGERIANS KEEP LINGERING AND REOCCURRING. MOST RECENT THAT AM GOING TO BASE ON IS ABOUT ‘THE OCTOBER 1 BOMB BLAST AT EAGLE SQUARE IN 2010’’.
DURING THE NATION’S INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATION OF 2010, THERE WAS A BOMB BLAST WHICH HISTORY WILL NOT FORGET IN A HURRY.WE WILL NOT FORGET IT BECAUSE THE LIVES OF NIGERIANS WERE INVOLVED.A LOT OF LIVES WERE LOST ON THE ALTAR OF POLITICS.
THE REVELATIONS FROM THE REACTIONS, POINT TO THE FACT THAT THAT BOMB BLAST WAS FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMP. HOW? IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BOMB BLAST, THE FIRST STATEMENTS FROM THOSE AROUND THE PRESIDENT WERE INDICTING .THEIR WORDS WERE SO INDICATIVE OF THEIR MOTIVES AND INTEREST WHICH WERE TO SWAY THE PUBLIC TO BELIEVE THAT NORTHERN POLITICIANS WHO WERE NOT HAPPY WITH THE EMERGENCE OF PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN DID IT.
WHEN THE QUESTION OF IMPEACHMENT AROSE AND THE THEN SENATE PRESIDENT SAID IT WAS NOT AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE WHAT WAS HE SAYING? WHO COMMITTED THE OFFENSE AND WHAT OFFENSE?
AS A FOLLOW UP TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS, I WANT YOU TO READ THE EVACUATION NOTICE ISSUED AT THE EAGLE SQUARE AFTER THE NEWS OF THE TWIN BOMB BLAST ALONG SHAGARI WAY.
“WITH DUE RESPECT TO ALL INVITED GUESTS, DIGNITARIES AND ATTENDEES OF THE 50TH INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY OF NIGERIA BEING HELD TODAY, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2010 AT THE EAGLE SQUARE ABUJA, THE MOVEMENT FOR THE EMANCIPATION OF THE NIGER DELTA  (MEND) IS ASKING EVERYONE TO BEGIN IMMEDIATE EVACUATION OF THE ENTIRE AREA WITHIN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES. THIS WARNING EXPIRES AFTER 10.30HRS
SEVERAL EXPLOSIVE DEVICES HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY PLANTED IN AND AROUND THE VENUE BY OUR OPERATIVES WORKING INSIDE THE GOVERNMENT SECURITY SERVICES.
IN EVACUATING THE AREA, KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE FROM VEHICLES AND TRASH BINS.
THERE IS NOTHING WORTH CELEBRATING AFTER 50 YEARS OF FAILURE. FOR 50 YEARS, THE PEOPLE OF THE NIGER DELTA HAVE HAD THEIR LAND AND RESOURCES STOLEN FROM THEM. THE CONSTITUTION BEFORE INDEPENDENCE WHICH OFFERED RESOURCE CONTROL WAS MUTILATED BY ILLEGAL MILITARY GOVERNMENTS AND THIS INJUSTICE IS YET TO BE ADDRESSED’’. JOMO GBOMO

MEND WERE MADE TO ACCEPT THE BOMB BLAST  AND SOURCES FROM THE PRESIDENT SOLD THE IDEA THAT POWERFUL NORTHERN POLITICIANS SPONSORED THE HIT.EVEN AFTER MEND CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BOMB BLAST THE DIFFERENT PRESIDENTIAL REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THE LIKES OF HENRY OKAH WHO WERE SUPPOSED TO PLAY THE CARD THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY NAIL OR PUT THEIR PERCEIVED POLITICAL TARGET REFUSED TO PLAY INTO A DEADLY DEN DECIDED TO INCITE MEDIA RELEASING SO MANY FAKE INFORMATION TO SWAY MEDIA AND PUSH THE SSS WITH PREEMPTED FACTS.OKAH WHO AFTER ACCEPTING AMNESTY UNDER PRESIDENT MUSA YARÁDUA WAS THEN SACRIFICED ON THE ALTAR OF POLITICS FOR REFUSING TO DO THE BIDDING OF THE THEN PRESIDENT JONATHAN. THE PRESIDENT AND HIS STRATEGISTS DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO HENRY OKAH IN FULL PRESIDENTIAL STRENGTH BY INVOLVING SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT WHERE HE WAS AFTER ACCEPTING AMNESTY.THEY CONTINUED TO SWAY MEDIA AND SENT HIM TO PRISON SINCE HE IS A NOT IN TANDEM WITH THEIR AGENDA.GIVE A DOG BAD NAME IN ORDER TO HANG IT.NIGERIANS LIKE FELA WOULD SAY LIKE ZOMBIES BOUGHT IT HOOK, LINE AND SINKER.
ON THIS CASE OF BOMB BLAST, CHIEF DOKPESI WHO LATER BOWED TO PRESIDENTIAL POWERS AND FORMER CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR TO IBRAHIM BADAMASI BABANGIDA WAS ARRESTED TO  ROPE PROBABLY HIS PRINCIPAL SINCE HE WEIRD SO MUCH POWER PERSONALLY.
TO SHOW HOW INSULTING THE RULING CLASS WAS, THEY CONTINUED SEVERAL MEDIA JINGOISM. GEJ WAS ONLY TRYING TO PLAY SCRIPTS PLAYED BY FORMER LEADERS MOST ESPECIALLY OLUSEGUN OBASANJO WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO EMERGE AS ACTING PRESIDENT AFTER SO MUCH BAGS OF MONIES HAVE CHANGE HANDS AND DAVID MARK HAS BEEN INTIMATED OF HIS GAINS IN THE IN-COMING GOVERNMENT. DAVID MARK WHO HAPPENED TO BE THE SENATE PRESIDENT AGREED WITH HIS FORMER BOSS AND ADOPTED A NEW LANGUAGE THEY TAGGED POLICY OF NECESSITY WHICH WAS NEVER PROVIDED FOR IN THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION.IT TAKES AN OLD BROOM USED TO PARTS OF THE HOUSE TO TELL YOU THE AREA WITH DIRT. OBASANJO HAD TO COME IN AND INTERCEDED
THE PEOPLE WHO CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BLAST WERE NOT ARRESTED EVEN WHEN GOODLUCK CLAIMED HE KNEW THEM. THE ONES WHO ACCEPTED AMNESTY WAS THE ONES ARRESTED AND JAILED FOR NO JUST CASE.
AFTER THE IMPEACHMENT MOVES ,REACTIONS TRAILED THE ACTION OF THOSE IN GOVERNMENT AND IT WAS OPINED THUS ’’ GOVERNMENT CLAIMS TO BE CARRYING OUT INVESTIGATIONS BUT ALSO FINDS TIME TO DRIP FEED MEDIA WITH SUGGESTIVE INFORMATION. SSS IS EVEN GOING AS FAR AS DOING PRESS RELEASES AND "LEAKING" CONTRIVED TEXT MESSAGES TO THE MEDIA. $20M TRACED TO POLITICIAN'S ACCOUNT" ETC. JONATHAN IS PUBLICLY FRATERNIZING WITH SELF CONFESSED CRIMINALS AND HOLDING THEM UP AS VIRTUOUS FOR THE STUPID REST TO SEE. HE HAS JUST EMBARKED ON A WASTEFUL JAMBOREE OF  N10BN FOR HIS EGO AND IS HANDING OUT A PALTRY N10,000 TO FAMILIES WHO HIS RECKLESSNESS HAS COST DEAR. PRAY HOW MUCH DID ATEKE TOM RECEIVE FOR COMING DOWN TO ABUJA? N2/3M? HENRY OKAH, HIS FRIEND AND BROTHER HAVE SUDDENLY BECOME THEIR ENEMY. WHY? HOW MUCH MONEY CAN DOKPESI PROMISE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA CANNOT COUNTER? SUBORNING FALSE TESTIMONY IS A CRIME AND WHEN MATTERS GET TO THE FLOOR OF THE NASS, AND THEN WE WILL REALLY START TO PARTY. RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE HOARDING INFORMATION AND PLAYING GOD. TILL DEM COME. BUT GOVERNMENT AND ITS APOLOGISTS DO NOT WISH ANYONE TO COMMENT. THEY SAY, LEAVE US TO CONCLUDE INVESTIGATIONS WHILE WE CONTINUE TO LEAK ALLEGEDLY FALSE INFORMATION THAT DAMAGE OUR POLITICAL RIVALS. WHO BE MUMU?

FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE TOO YOUNG IN THIS VILLAGE TO KNOW THESE THINGS, WE HAVE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE. OUR SHAMELESS SECRET SERVICES HAVE ALWAYS MADE THEMSELVES AVAILABLE TO THE POWER OF THE DAY TO MISUSE. OBASANJO CLAIMED THAT BELLO FADILE AND GWADABE WERE USED TO ROPE HIM INTO A COUP PLOT. DIYA CLAIMS HE WAS SET UP BY BAMAIYI. OBASANJO HIMSELF DID IT WITH IYORCHIA AYU WHEN THEY TRIED TO ROPE AYU INTO A BOGUS TREASON PLOT.SO WE KNOW THE SIGNS AND WE SEE THEM AND IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME SECRET SERVICES INVOLVED IN THE COMEDY. THE GOOD THING IS THAT THEY ARE SO BUNGLING THAT IT DOES NOT TAKE LONG FOR YOU TO WORK OUT THAT IT IS ALL CONTRIVED.

EITHER WAY YOU LOOK AT THIS, THE PRESIDENT IS ON A DODGY WICKET:

HENRY OKAH CRIED OUT THAT HE WAS BEING ASKED TO TELL PORKIES. THEY SAID IT WAS A LIE. HEY PRESTO, NEXT DAY A BAND OF TERRORIST HAS BEEN BOSSED INTO TOWN TO COME AND SAY EXACTLY WHAT OKAH CLAIMS HE WAS ASKED TO SAY.

THERE IS ALSO CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THERE ARE MEND MILITANTS STILL OPERATING FROM THE CREEKS OF THE NIGER DELTA EVEN THOUGH GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO DENY THEIR EXISTENCE. SO THE GOVERNMENT IS TELLING PORKIES WHEN IT SAYS MEND IS FINISHED.  NOBODY CAN POINT TO ANY HONEST ENTERPRISE THAT THE LIKES OF TOMPOLO OR ATEKE TOM OR BOYLOAF HAVE EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN. BUT THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WITH ACCESS TO OUR PRESIDENT FOR WHOM HE ACTS AS SPOKESPERSON AND CHARACTER REFEREE. ALLAH YA SAUWAKA!

FURTHER WHEN GOVERNMENT SAYS IT HAS 15,000 EX-FIGHTERS IN THE AMNESTY PROGRAMME, WHO IS CHECKING THIS? HENRY OKAH SAYS THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 500 REAL EX-MILITANTS IN THE AMNESTY PROGRAMME. SO TIMI ALAIBE IS AGAIN HELPING HIMSELF TO THE MONEY FOR 14,500 PEOPLE? S

"IF THESE MEN ARE NO LONGER IN MEND, HOW WILL THEY KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE ORGANIZATION? IF MEND HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY, WHY IS THE PRESIDENT SO EAGER TO EXONERATE THEM? DOES THE PRESIDENT KNOW WHAT THE NATION DOES NOT? IF SO, AT WHAT POINT DID THE PRESIDENT KNOW WHAT HE KNOWS? IF IT IS BEFORE THE BLASTS, WHY DID HE NOT ENSURE THAT THEY WERE PREVENTED? IF IT IS AFTER, WHY IS HE NOT TELLING THE NATION WHAT HE KNOWS?" - BUHARI CAMPAIGN ORGANIZATION

"OKAH IS BEING VINDICATED BY THE PRESIDENCY. IF THE PRESIDENT IS INVITING ALL SYNDICATE GROUPS TO ABUJA TO COME AND SAY MEND HAD NO HAND IN THE BLASTS, DOES THAT NOT FURTHER CORROBORATE THE CLAIM BY OKAH THAT THEY WANTED TO USE HIM TO IMPLICATE NORTHERNERS?" - ACTION CONGRESS OF NIGERIA

CHIEF BEATRICE UBEGE OSHILIM(POEM)



CHIEF BEATRICE UBEGE OSHILIM

Charged to provide the best for her home
Happy to see her children see her build their Rome
Investing all her effort to achieve her family stands
Enduring so much to keep the home in good hands
Fearing not to be derailed in her dream to a dreamland

Beautifully created in time to share
Expensive yet always attending to people’s welfare
A special breed of her set in a glare
Time and tide she says wait for no one
Raised as a queen second to none

Instilling discipline in her subtle tone
Cheerful and determined to build whether alone
Enjoy Watching her young’s grow through her guild and under her bet
Unique and lively when met
Brilliantly thanking God her creator for her birth

Endearing her family to remain devoted to their creator and victories
Getting others in without boundaries
Encouraging all who encounters her not to build enemies
On to us a daughter is born
Struggled to give us the best even in torn

Happy daily not minding the past pains
Indeed relying on GOD for gains
Loved dearly Mary her model
In good and bad she hope to be in eternal bethel
Minding her deeds to humans

FITNESS FOR MEN



Warm up with the mobility and dynamic flexibility moves. Then perform the 1-minute drill. Rest 15 to 30 seconds, then do the strength circuit. Rest 1 minute. Repeat the drill and strength circuit sequence three to five times. After the first round, try to work at an effort of 7 or 8 (on a scale of 1 to 10) each time you perform the 1-minute drill.


MOBILITY AND DYNAMIC FLEXIBILITY

Perform the following exercises as fast as possible with good form. Rest 30 seconds between exercises and 1 minute between rounds. Perform 2 rounds.

3-Step Lateral Run and Pause (5 reps)
From a strong tall posture, perform a high knee run sideways taking three total lateral steps, running on the balls of your feet, driving the elbows back and maintaining good upright posture. Do not cross your feet as you run. On the third step pause and maintain balance for at least 1 to 2 seconds before running in the opposite direction. That's one rep.

Lateral Speed Lunge (8 reps)
From an athletic position, take a lateral step to the right. Quickly and with good squat form, touch your right hand (outside your right leg) to the floor and immediately drive your body up and shuffle one step over to the left touching the floor with your left hand. Your body should be completely extended (tall) when you move from side to side. (For a variation of this side lunge,

Spiderman Climb (10 reps per leg)
Start in the top of the pushup position. Keep your abs braced, pick one foot up off the floor, and slowly bring your knee up outside of your shoulder and touch your foot to the ground. Slowly return your leg to the start position and repeat with the opposite leg.


1-MINUTE DRILL

Perform the following exercises for 15 seconds each. (And if these aren't intense enough for you, try this

Jumping Jacks

High Knees

Jumps
Dip down at the hips and knees, and then explode up.

Pushups with Row
Get into pushup position with your arms straight and your hands resting on light dumbbells. Squeeze your abs and glutes as you perform a pushup. At the top, pull one dumbbell off the floor and toward you until your elbow is above your back. Slowly return the weight to the floor and repeat with the other arm.

Two-Way Lunges
From a standing position, take a large step forward with one leg, then immediately lunge backward. Switch legs after 10 seconds.

Single-Leg RDL
Stand with your feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart. Raise one foot and extend it behind you, just off the floor. Contract your glutes, brace your abs, and keep your spine naturally arched. Focusing on balance, lower yourself until your torso is parallel to the floor. Initiate the movement by pushing your hips back. Push back up to the starting position. Switch legs after 10 seconds.

Glute Bridges

JOY OF EARLY MORNING SEX

They say having sex first thing in the morning not only improves your love life, it is also beneficial to your health.
Early morning sex puts a smile on your face, boosts your health, looks and relationship.
Scientists say people who start their days by having sex are all-around healthier and happier than those who don’t.
According to Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., author of Because It Feels Good, having sex in the morning makes you stronger and more beautiful.
She said: “Having sex in the morning releases the feel-good chemical oxytocin, which makes couples feel loving and bonded all day long and climaxing releases chemicals that boost levels of estrogen, which improves the tone and texture of your skin and hair.”
Some other benefits of morning sex include:
1. Apart from the fact that regular morning sex makes you feel upbeat for the rest of the day, it also helps in building a stronger immune system.
2. Believe it or not, it makes you less susceptible to catching a cold or flu and can also improve the quality of your hair, skin, and nails.
3. Having morning sex three times a week lessens the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
4. You aren’t bothered by the responsibilities of the day yet and your mind is clearer.
5. You’ve just been sleeping and are hopefully well-rested and can devote more energy to sex.
6. Sex is relaxing and can help manage stress.
7. You start the day more in sync when you’ve pleasured one another both physically and emotionally.
8. You show your spouse that he/she is a priority, and so is your sex life.
9. Sex is exercise. It’s a great way to work up an early morning appetite as breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
10. Early morning sex can be a great incentive to wake-up and put you in a more positive mood. Wake-up sex will help you feel happier and healthier throughout the day.
Research from Nottingham University also found that men who kept up a regular sex life in their 50s were also at lower risk of developing prostate cancer, while a 2009 study found that having sex every day improves sperm quality and could boost the chances of getting pregnant.

NIGERIAN LEGISLATURES EARN TOO MUCH

While Nigeria continues to suffer from unpaid salaries it is time to remember the salaries and allowances of the National Assembly members and ministers which was published by The Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission.

Publication in Daily Trust August 2013 edition said it was announced  to avoid misinformation and misrepresentation of facts in media reports.
According to the RMAFC estimates, lawmakers’ allowances include accommodation (Senator N4m, Rep N3.97m), vehicle loan (Senator N8m, Rep N7.94m), furniture (Senator N6m, Rep N5.956m) and severance gratuity (Senator N6.09m, Rep N5.956m), which are due once in four years. It should be noted that accommodation allowance is paid yearly while furniture, severance and car loan are paid once in four years, the commission said.
Annual allowances are motor vehicle fueling and maintenance (Senator N1.52m, Rep N1.489m), constituency (Senator N5m, Rep N1.985m), domestic staff (Senator N1.519m, Rep N1.488m), personal assistant (Senator N506,600; Rep N496,303), entertainment (Senator N607,920, Rep N595,563), recess (Senator N202,640; Rep N198,521), utilities (Senator N607,920; Rep N397,042), newspaper/periodicals (Senator N303,960; Rep N297,781), house maintenance (Senator N101,320; Rep N99,260) and wardrobe (Senator N506,600; Rep N496,303).
Other allowances are estacode (Senator $950, Rep $900) and duty tour allowance (Senator N37,000; Rep N35,000).
See The Salaries And Allowances Of National Assembly Members
RMAFC said: “Regular allowances are paid regularly with basic salaries while non-regular allowances are paid as at when due. For instance, furniture allowance andeverance gratuity are paid once in every tenure and vehicle allowance which is optional is a loan which the beneficiary has to pay before the end of tenure. It is therefore wrong and misleading to add up allowances irrespective of whether they are regular, refundable or non-regular as the regular annual emoluments of political public office holders.” 
However, RMAFC warned that any other allowances received by the affected officials are illegal and the chief accounting officer should be held responsible. According to RMAFC : “The commission also wishes to use this opportunity to state that any other allowance(s) enjoyed by any political, public office holders outside those provided in the Remuneration Act of 2008 is not known to the commission and the chief accounting officer should be held accountable”. 
The source also notes that with a national minimum wage of N18,000.00 per month and totalling N216,000.00 per annum, it will take the average Nigerian worker, 60 years and 44 years to earn the annual salary and allowances of a Nigerian Senator and Member of the House of Representatives respectively.  It states: “This cannot be right and something urgent has to be done to slash the salaries and allowances of the members of the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly”.

EXECUTIVE LOOTING IN NIGERIA



There has been an ongoing national argument on the reality of the oil subsidy which some eminent Nigerians have refuted against. Former petroleum minister Prof Tam David West breaks down his analysis of the falsehood behind the fuel subsidy that has only enriched a few rich and selfish individuals in Nigeria. See insightful details.
1) One barrel of Crude oil = 42 gallons or 159 litres
2) Our Refineries (i.e 4) Installed (combined)
capacity = 445,000 barrels per day
3) Actual refineries capacity due to ageing
equipment = 30% i.e. 133,500 barrels per day.
4) 133,500 barrels = 21.2 million litres
5) Local required consumption (F.O.S) =
12millions litres
6) It means that even our MORIBOND refineries can actually meet our local consumption need of petroleum.
7) The cost structure of crude oil (i.e. Qua Iboe Crude Oil) production; – Findings / development – $3.5
– Production cost – $1.5
– Refining Cost – $12.6
– Pipeline/transportation – $1.5
– Distr/bridging fund Margin -$15.69
True cost of one litre of petroleum anywhere in Nigeria;
– Total sum cost = $34.8
– 1ltr cost = $34.8/159 litres = $0.219
– Naira equiv. 0.219xN160= N35.02k
– Add Tax N5 + N35.02 = N40.02
9) Let FGN refute the above composition and if not, they should tell us how they came about
N95/N85 litre.
10) Locally refined products cannot be sold at International price.
11) We really do not need FGN SUBSIDY as
there was NONE in the first place.
12) What is LACKING, is the WILL to enforce
LAW ON CORRUPTION.

 Professor Tam David West, former
  Petroleum Minister.
