Politics / Re: NIMASA Pays Tompolo N1.5bn Monthly – Ex-chairman by masotemi: 7:31am On Jun 03, 2015
Flets:
A critical review of the Nigerian situation reveals that Nigeria is at a dead end.

Stopping that contract has dire implications that could crumble the Nigerian economy in a matter of weeks.

Its morally wrong to pay out such funds just like amnesty in a perfect society but almost justified in the Nigerian context its absence could lead to the loss of everything.

Nigeria must adopt true federalism through regional governance to progress. Anything short of that is mere anarchy.

Shallow minds will say, take away the contract and take the war to them. We cannot war and produce crude oil (generate revenue, allocations, Salaries) at the same time. We have to choose one.

Tompolo is not an institution, but an individual! If he dies tomorrow, what become of the contract. Responsible government all over the world build institutions not individuals. We need to re-focus and begin to put all our military and para military institutions in proper perspective for better service delivery....

Good pic. But this Osinbajo must realize he's now the vice president of Nigeria and no longer a common pastor at RCCG. He should stop this body language always giving him off worshiping Buhari, Tinubu and those power brokers. He's more qualified than Buhari to be president, so should be wielding powers of his own as opposed to looking like anybody's servant. I know he's a Tinubu stooge and wasn't planning to be here but he should realize he's now the vice president and should see himself as such.

Humility took him to that level and it is better he keeps the winning strategy!

History has recorded him as the VP and not anybody's stooge......

Anyone who aspire to succeed, must learn from successful people.

If by chance Buhari wins this election, extremely hard times lies ahead for this country.

Definitely, the creeks will go haywire again, Buhari will send the troops to the creeks and together they will set the oil facilities ablaze.

OBJ's use of JTF force could help as no Oil producing company will risk producing crude and killing staff in a volatile region.

GEJ under Yaradua had to get down to the creeks to to talk to these boys and effect the amnesty program because they found him as a representation in government.

If after GEJ's achievements in almost all sectors, roads, bridges, railways, agriculture, automobile, alamajiri schools, new universities, fertilizer and ghost worker scam elimination, freedom of press, FOI, free and fair elections, power sector. .........etc, he is still booted out. It will be impossible to convince a ND minority albeit a militant that their own was not persecuted out of office. And that will be the theme of the new struggle. The long term solution to this mess is implementing the Confab report and enthroning true federalism.

While these persists, the oil producing companies will simply withdraw their personnel from the volatile region and all foreign investments will seize in all sectors.

And even if the troops kill 90% of the militants, it will take just one militant, a dynamite and just one location along the multi- kilometre trunklines to continue to wreck havoc.

Fast forward to 2019, if we remain one country and without a civil war,, we will be an economic wreck with no allocations and salaries, no capital projects, no hope with dollar exchanging for 400 naira and we are worse off than we were in 2015.

Cos the truth is that without crude proceeds for now, Nigeria is finished.

And then, we'll be screaming another 'Change' because we would have learnt a bitter lesson in the hands of the Fulanis, Tinubu and Saraki.And then we will ask.... Why were we this silly?

And before you quote me, make sure you outline in clear terms how you or Buhari will avert this obvious calamity staring us in the face


Only last week, they creek boys seem to have resumed activities by kidnapping at Yoho facility operated by Exxonmobil and have shut in 80KBD already. Are we ready for this for the next 4 years?

The entire world stands to benefit from a crisis in the Niger delta. Its not a coincidence that USA who abandoned us at the height of bokoharam is busy shouting for change in govt . Crises in the ND will reduce supply of crude to the Oil market and that would drive up the price of crude for producing countries.... But at Nigeria's expense.

Nigerians.... Be Warned!!!
Are you saying a Niger Deltan should be the president of Nigeria perpetually?
Has the wealth in Niger Delta region trickled down to the ordinary people from the region?
Is handing over the security of the creeks to "militia" better than equipping our police & the military?
What was the naira exchange rate to major currencies 6 years ago and now?
Do we as a nation command the respect of other nations at the moment?
who is promoting one religion against the other?
who is setting the regions against one another?
I can go on and on......

Religion / Re: Are Churches Really Helping The Poor And Unemployed In Our Society Today? by masotemi: 4:14pm On Oct 10, 2013
CrazyMan:
Imagine a church opening a university that more than 65% of its active members who pay their tithes and offerings regularly cannot afford and no one is asking questions.

Imagine the CAN president asking President Jonathan to give a percentage of his salary to the poor…when he has no record of any charitable act.

Imagine a GO interested in expanding his auditorium when the children of devoted members who cannot afford his expensive university are wasting away at home with no hope to further their education.

Until you break that chain of “don’t question a man of God” and begin to question pastors on how your offerings, tithes, first seed…etc. are being spent you would continually be repeatedly exploited by these greedy people.

It is no use shouting from the roof top and telling the world how terrible it is to come back to this 'hell-hole' if after that, you crawl or sneak back to a system that is working perfectly because its people sat back in their own country to make things work. Let us not just bad-mouth this country, let us all come together to effect changes, positive changes.We have ALL that it takes to effect a turn-around....starting from the poster.

Thank you so much for your matured contribution which seems lacking in some contribution to issues on this platform.......If the countries they are all escaping to are not developed by their nationals, would this escapist have anywhere to go? It is easy to condemn our leaders, give these complainants minor leadership position, it would be mismanaged.

Properties / Re: Lagos Real Estate/ Omonile Land Scams Exposed! Learn how not to be Conned by masotemi: 9:22am On Nov 27, 2012
lawyer: 1. THE LAND UNDER ACQUISITION FOR A SPECIAL DEDICATED PURPOSE SCAM:

This Scam is very rampant especially in Rural Lagos such as in areas like Alimosho, Epe, Egbe, Ikotun, Ifako, Alakukuo, Iba, Iyana paja, Ikorodu, Igbogbo, Ayobo, Badagry and some areas in Ibeju Lekki etc.

The simple gist about this kind of Land Scam is that the Government based on different regimes past have ear marked some projects in some of these areas that they intend to execute in future. For example proposed bridges, schools, government housing schemes, museums, pottery villages, cemeteries or buildings of national or state importance and have allocated hectares of land for this huge projects from these communities. At times the government uses its power to take these lands off these communities based on certain reasons best known to them but in almost all situations they compensate the community they took these lands from and warn them to stay clear off these lands.

Well we all know the way thing work in Nigeria. The government might acquire these hectares of Land but information about the location of the land might be very sketchy and they might not even fence it. But being a Government land it has been recorded in their system and whenever a new administration decides its time to look into that project as a priority they now go and acquire their lands but one thing the Government always does is to put various sign boards around warning people that the land has been acquired by the government and trespassers should beware of the land.

But this is what these Land Scammers would do next:

1. They will monitor for months the frequency of government officials that come around to view the lands if they are still secure and wait till the vists become less regular.

2. They will now send their boys to go and remove the signboards at night one by one so that you won’t know where the government land starts or ends.

3. They begin to parade and patrol these areas as owners of the land and claim it belongs to their community

4. You are desperate for a land and you don’t do due diligence or call a lawyer versed in land search to carry out a thorough investigation and you end up paying for the land.

5. You will enter 1 chance because the land wasn’t theirs in the first place, you can’t build on it, you can’t recover your money because they are rouges and finally your house will be demolished compulsorily because you had no right to be there in the first place because that government school has been zoned to be on that land by fire or by force.

TRUE STORY:

A Woman called me last year to help her do a search for her after she read some of my blogs on Nairaland. Funny enough her husband was already quarreling with her for delaying the payment for a land an omoonile took them to view a land around Igando side to buy and that the land was a virgin land and they has been no dispute on the land either legally or personal. After discussing the price, they said they should go and pay the money to the Baale since the land belongs to him and the Omoonile stated that no other person has been on the land apart from the Baale’s descendants. She was very curious because they just kept pointing to the land from afar without giving them a full tour of the land but they kept on haranguing her pay quickly because other people were also interested in the land.

When she later called me, I asked her if a surveyor has gone to take the coordinates of the land to chart it, she said no because she didn’t have any surveyor and contracted me to go and do the search. I called the Omoonile and pretended I was the brother of the woman who was actually the one who was to pay on her behalf and I was carrying N3Million cash to pay them. The Baale said he will personally meet me to collect the money. He was dressed in his full Baale Regalia when I got to his palace and with his other chiefs ready to divide N3Million. I told them I wanted to see the land personally and they told me since ‘my sister has already seen it there was no point again’ I told them no that I want to take pictures for my architect and the reluctantly agreed. On getting to the site I was advised not to walk into the bush because of snakes but after I pay they will cut the grass properly for me to see my land. I told them ok and told my other colleague to write them a cheque and discuss money matters with the. That check matter distracted them while I ventured into the land to look around to try and see if I could see any beacon number or foundation on the land to query them. I saw something better. A Big sign showing the proposed NYSC Permanent site and buyers should beware buried deep in to the ground. Can you imagine?

On further investigation I found out that there is presently a court battle between some community members and the lagos state government over that NYSC camp site. That’s how I shouted and started querying them that they are about to sell us a whole NYSC Camp land and some of them started speaking gibberish. Some just decided to walk away since they knew game was up, while one brandishing a matchet was just screaming that the land is theirs and government cannot take it from them blah blah. I now asked them why they didn’t tell us they were about to sell us NYSC camp land and he said its not his business to educate a buyer on the land to buy because that should be their lawyers job and that their own is to sell any land to collect their money till they tell them otherwise and if I don’t buy, another person that isn’t sharp or smart will buy and that’s how they bullied me to get out of that place.

QUICK TIP TO AVOID THIS SCENARIO:

1. If you’re going to visit a land for the first time before you call in the professionals such as me or a surveyor, make sure you walk through the whole land and check the 4 corners of the land to see if there is any beacon number or foundation or any object on it. Study the land well to see if any object has been removed. If your not sure, continue to ask the seller repeatedly why that land is vacant and what is prompting them to sell. 7 out of 10 times, if you continue to ask that question, you will get the same response but a fraudulent one will continue to change his story or add new hidden details that is worth checking out before you commit that money.

Bottomline Shine your eye well well before you go and throw away your money to buy Government Land. Fashola no go pity you o!
God bless you greatly for this insightful information.
Politics / Re: Do Religious Centers Have The Power To Change Nigeria? by masotemi: 11:57am On Nov 26, 2012
Blackteeth: If Nigeria is bad because our leaders are bad then it means the masses are bad because the bad leaders came from the bad masses.
If we must have good leaders it means the masses should be made good first. Then good leaders will emerge from the good masses afterwards.
The churches and mosques has the bulk of the responsibility to influence the masses to be good. But it seems they are not passing the right message across. We can image the 95% of Nigerian listening ears that the churches and mosques controls. Why is this not an opportunity to send the right message across to influence the masses for good from which good leaders will emerge from?

Religious Institutions are not compelling agents. They can only appeal to members conscience and not mandate them to act in a desired way. We all live in a world of choices and selective obedience......

Let me assure you that they are bereft of logical reasoning. An example is you already with the way you are thinking. Well unless you want to claim to be an Illiterate.

Financial starvation is not the only problem of man. Do you think every accomplished persons are happy? They probably have some past evil deeds that needs retribution for God via a man that offers a means of short cut. An example is the case of
Akingbola, Cecilia, Atuche and the list goes on. Infact I forgot to add Ibori

Kindly give me an example of someone. I work in a bank and I can still admit that according to the tenets of the bible my money is not clean because the banking environment is so corrupt.... Need I say more

The cost. Besides buying expensive Jet fuel, parking the jet alone is costly. So flying or not, u'll still be incuring cost. Hope you have now been enlightened

The church was created and meant to abide by divine laws dat I'm sorry are no longer been followed. That why energy is directed there. Gerrit. Save souls not get money and live large.

Becos there is none. Its not their priority. Kindly name one charity work done by any of these jet flying pastors that still doesn't translate to extortion

And whoever told you the place was neglected. Religious organisation brought chaos to that road my friend. Try traveling when their progs are going on you'll know what I'm talking about. They shouldn't have gone there in the first place. Nothing changed for the better. Its just got worse

Its allowed. Hope my answers are ok for you. Pele
My task is to make convert and not to criticize. I pray that God makes abundant grace available to you and many others that opposes without logical reasons the impactful works of the Kingdom. Stay blessed

Thanks for your write up on the above topic. I just want to make the following input:
* So many members of these churches are not illiterates and neither are they bereft of logical reasoning as some bloggers assume most often in their comments and contributions to issues concerning the church
* Erudite academicians, accomplished lawyers and reputable business personality and enterpreneurs who are rational decision makers form a large nucleus of members of these churches and have a right on how their resources are deployed
* Let me quickly add that not all members of these churches are politicians or government or private sector employees that acquire their wealth through dubious/corrupt means
* If an individual can own a private/personal car rather than using publicly provided means of transportation, what is the difference in owning a private jet?
* Most often we misdirect our energies to churches and leave out government/agencies that are primarily responsible for our well being.
* How many of the good deeds and charitable works of these churches are given prominence in our newspapers, rather we have to "mobilize" reporters to feature such events in their newspapers!
* Lagos/Ibadan expressway would have remained a forest/den of armed robbers if the churches had not taken the initiatives to open up the area! Punch Newspapers would have taken their Head Office elsewhere not this same axis that was opened up by religious organisations that ventured to "invest members" money in putting up infrastructures in this neglected area !
Just my thoughts.
