Why Do Yoruba People Have Low Facebook Name Self Esteem?

"Why Do Yoruba People Have Low Facebook Name Self Esteem?" Ex Oyo State Governor's Daughter, Omololu Olunloyo Asks. You may remember her from the post I put up not too long ago where she spoke about why she is proudly unmarried at the age of 48.

She has created a lot of buzz again because of her write up which you'll find below, and the Yorubas are yet to stop cursing her and calling her all sorts of names. She wrote;
Nigerians really irritate me on Facebook when they alter their names into these eyesore names. As a member of the Community standards team at Facebook, u are not allowed a fake name. Many Nigerians in the Yoruba tribe where I am from, disgustingly alter the spellings of their names to horrible proportions. These beautiful African names are defaced due to lack of self esteem. I reported 10 last week on FB and they were told to produce ID before their pages could be re-opened. They got mad at me. I clearly warned them beforehand. Even ppl with other fake nicknames need to be reported if you see them without a real name. I don't see this trend in other tribes in Nigeria. #SMH

My full name is Olukemi Omololu-OlunloyoSpelled like a eyesore is Holukehmi Hormololoo-Howloonlawyour

Its the Facebook Community Standards rule.I am a SnitchFollow me @Snitchlady on Twitter



I still can't believe she really had the time to report Facebook users. She is one tough lady I tell you and she goes for exactly what she wants. She is also famous for saying;
“Biafra is dead! Rot in Hell Ojukwu for killing those children.”
She really does say it as she sees it.

Reps Accuse NNPC, NCC, Others of Diverting N9 Trillion

A House of Representatives’ report has revealed that some revenue generating agencies have short-changed the Federal Government N8.8 trillion and the report listed the agencies to include; Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC); and Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) among others.
The agencies collectively generated N9.3trillion but remitted only N174.9bilion to the treasury between 2009 and last year according to the House report.
The agencies have acted contrary to the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA), 2007 and a 2011 Federal Ministry of Finance directive.
The FRA allows agencies to remit to the Treasury based on their annual operating surplus framework. The Finance ministry’s directive requested them to remit 25 per cent of their gross collection to the Treasury.
Independent revenue derived from Internally Generated revenue (IGR), is 100 percent dedicated to the Federal Government – to the exclusion of other tiers of government.
The agencies were supposed to have remitted N3.06trillion generated in 2009 as independent revenue, but they sent in N46.8billion or 1.53 percent to the Treasury.
The report also revealed that in 2010, the agencies generated N3.07trillion, but remitted N54.1bilion  or 1.76 percent to the Federal Government.
In 2011, N3.17trillion was generated, but only 2.33 per cent or N73.8b was remitted to the Treasury.
NNPC and its subsidiaries generated N6.1trillion (excluding proceeds from crude oil and gas) during the period but remitted nothing to the Federal Government.
A general analysis of the agencies’ submission (excluding the NNPC’s) shows expected remittance of N189billion as at October, last year.
Only N80bilion had been paid to the Treasury (42 per cent compliance), leaving a shortfall of N109billion.
Some of the agencies apart from the NNPC, and NCC are: Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) and the Federal Mortgage Bank (FMBN) among others.
With the exception of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), all the agencies prepared and submitted their audited accounts to the office of the Auditor General outside the time stipulated in the Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007.
The report of the House Committed on Finance on independent revenue generation and remittances to the Consolidated Revenue Fund by government-owned agencies that was considered yesterday by the lawmakers, however, praised five agencies for attempting to adhere to the FRA to some extent by regularly remitting their independent revenues to the Federal Government.
These are: CBN, Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and two others.
 Abdulmumin Jubrin, chairman of the committee presenting the report, said between 2009 and 2011, the NNPC and all its subsidiaries generated N6.132trillion as Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), but remitted no part of it to the Federal Government.
According to him, the money excluded what was generated from crude oil and gas sales.
The report also revealed that the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) provided confusing accounting figures of its independent revenue in 2009.
While N5.6m was declared, when the agency’s audited account was reviewed, another sub-head of N323m was discovered.
According to the committee’s findings and in consonance with the submission of the Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC), most of the reviewed agencies were found culpable of not adequately making returns to the Treasury as well as also preparing different sets of account.
The agencies were found to have always prepared one account for the FRC and another for the Auditor General’s office.
The lawmakers, in adopting the recommendations of the report, mandated the Finance Committee to work on the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA) 2007 within four weeks so as to check various loopholes that enable government agencies spend what they generate without recourse to the National Assembly.
The Committee on Finance is to probe other agencies that were not captured in this exercise to ascertain their status.
“Agencies that have refused to cooperate with the committee are to do so within seven days or Section 89 of the constitution will be invoked on them.
The other recommendations are that: The Ministry of Finance should compel agencies which have outstanding balances to be paid to pay up immediately;
•Any agency found to be spending outside budgetary provisions should be punished;
•All revenues due to the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federal government must be paid as and when due;
•The Accountant General of the Federation should submit to the Committee a detailed monthly report of remittances of Federal Government independent revenue;
•The FRC should sanction any agency that fails to submit its audited annual account as and when due;
• All agencies should henceforth present evidence of remittances into the Consolidated Revenue Account to the relevant Committees of the House during their budget performance defence; and
• The Federal Ministry of Finance should immediately ensure that all funds hidden in various agencies’ bank accounts should be mopped up and promptly remitted to the Consolidated Revenue Fund and report to the Finance Committee within three months”.
The shortfall of remittances of some of the agencies are: Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)-N6.1trillion; Federal Capital Territory (FCT)-N7.7b; Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN-N45.5b; Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)-N6.9b; Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA)-N1.4b; National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC)-N1b; Nigerian Port Authority (NPA)-N11.1b; Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)-N3.3b; Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC)-N211.7m; Federal Mortgage Bank (FMBN)-N300.4m; West African Examination Council (WAEC)-N2.5b; National Sports Commission (NSC)-N3.7m; Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON)-N252.7m; Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC)-N410.9m; Federal Housing Authority (FHA)-N221.2m;
Nigeria Shippers Council-N6.4m; Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC)-N8.8b; Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA)N3.6b; Industrial Training Fund (ITF)-N4b; Corporate Affairs Commission. (CAC)-N2b; Bank of Industry (BoI)-N3b; and Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)-N1.4b.

This should make you CRY: The grim figures from Oby Ezekwesili’s UNN speech (LOOK)

inShare2

by Gbenga Olorunpomi

That ‘$67 billion’ figure prompted a lot of debate in intellectual circles as well as several attacks on her person from presidential spokesmen over the last 2 weeks. It is yet another example of how a small part of a speech can take on a seeming life of its own, overshadowing everything else. 

The convocation speech given by Mrs Obiageli Ezekwesili, at her alma mater, University of Nigeria, Nsukka on January 24th 2013, is likely to go down as an all time classic, simply because of this now famous sentence:

Furthermore, it is happening back to back with the squandering of the significant sum of $45 Billion in foreign reserve account and another $22Billion in the Excess Crude Account being direct savings from increased earnings from oil that the Obasanjo administration handed over to the successor government in 2007.

That ‘$67 billion’ figure prompted a lot of debate in intellectual circles as well as several attacks on her person from government spokespersons over the last 2 weeks.
It is yet another example of how a small part of a speech can take on a seeming life of its own, overshadowing everything else. The former head of budget monitoring and Minister of Education had a lot more to say, and we have attempted to capture her points in the graph below.

She found that Nigeria compares unfavourably to South Korea, Chile, Brazil, Singapore and Malaysia, in terms of GDP, per capita and life expectancy. We were on an even footing with some of these countries at independence.
Some excuses for Nigeria’s slow improvement: land mass, multi-ethnicity, geography and colonialism were disproved in her speech, as countries like China and India are much larger in terms of population and land mass, are also multi-ethnic, but have been able to help increasing numbers of their people prosper.
Between 1985, when she left UNN, and 2013, the percentage of Nigerian youth with access to a university education has grown to only 4.3%, from 3%. The result of this shocking statistic is the increasing number of people who live in poverty, growing from 17 million in 1980, to 112 million in 2010. Education is very strongly correlated with a better life in every respect.
Since oil was discovered in 1959, Nigeria has earned $1.1 trillion (yes, trillion) from it, but much of that money has disappeared into a black hole of corruption and mismanagement. It was this, and other facts that Mrs Ezekwesili made abundantly clear to UNN’s newest alumni, and by extension the rest of us.
The solution to this is entirely within the reach of Nigeria’s youth of today, who will be the men of tomorrow.

Nations Cup Final: Eagles Will Win, Says T.B. Joshua

The General Overseer of The Synagogue Church Of All Nations, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, says Nigeria’s Super Eagles would defeat Burkina Faso in Sunday’s final of the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
T.B. Joshua, who warned Eagles’ coach, Stephen Keshi to avoid conceding a late minute goal in their AFCON Group C opener against the Burkinabe, told P.M.NEWS that Nigeria’s case in the Nations Cup final this year is like the biblical Jacob who wrestled with God, saying that “on Sunday we’ll tell God unless He gives us our heart’s desire we’ll not let Him go.
“The cloud is darker over Nigeria’s Super Eagles, but with God we’ll scale through. If it were not to be the final, anything could have happened. The first match we played with Burkina Faso, it was just by the grace of God that it ended in a draw.
“On Sunday, our opponents will play defensively because they will be looking out for penalty shootout at the end of the game. They will also play through three of their strikers upfront; one of them very tall and huge player and two others.
“What I’m seeing I don’t want to say it because it would be too frightening, but I want to assure that we’ll scale through the challenge on Sunday.”

The prophet who established a football club, My People FC to groom young players, however, warned the Eagles not to allow Burkina Faso to score first in the final, saying that “if this happened the Burkinabe would fall back to defend the goal, which will be very dangerous for our team. I still repeat that no matter the situation, we’ll scale through.
“The Burkina Faso that we played in the group stage will not be the same team we’ll play on Sunday, even though some of their players are out of the squad due to injuries. They are still a team. But I hope for celebration.”
Joshua said as the giant of Africa, Nigeria last won the Nations Cup 13 years ago, which was too long ago for a great football nation like Nigeria.
“I think God should give us this cup to make the youths of this country happy. Winning this cup at this time of religious intolerance and violence will calm down the youths. I want to appeal to all Nigerians to pray for Eagles’ victory. I would have told you the scoreline but I would rather delay it till Sunday morning in order not psychologically distract the players and their coaches and not to demoralise the losing team.”
Prophet Joshua concluded that he would not want Keshi and his team to come to his church to celebrate their victory after the match because he is not the only one praying for the Eagles to win.
“My voice may be the one louder among the men of God in the country but this doesn’t mean that the team should come to my church to celebrate. I would rather prefer that they celebrate their victory with all Nigerians,” he said.

Nollywood Actress Sent To Prison

Nollywood actress,Yetunde Akilapa, was on Thursday sent to Kirikiri Prison, Apapa, Lagos for allegedly being in possession of 100 master keys.

Miss Akilapa was on Wednesday detained at the Alade Divisional Police headquarters in Somolu, Lagos following a complaint lodged by a complainant, accusing the actress of stealing the 100 master keys found on her.
According to a statement written by her at the police headquarters, it was not the first time the suspect would be accused of stealing.
She said: “There was a day she came home to see my relative and when I opened her bag after she went to the toilet I found a phone that was later found to have been stolen. We seized the phone from her and returned it to the owner despite her denying that she did not steal the phone.”
When the case came up at the Magistrate’s Court in Somolu on Thursday, the police prosecutor, Inspector Anyanwu, told the court that Miss Akilapa was arrested by a mob that accused her of conspiracy and stealing of bunches of keys.
The offence, according to the prosecutor, is punishable under section 383, 516 and 517 criminal code of Lagos state.
In her response to the charge during the court session, the accused, who claimed to be trained by popular actor Abbey Lanre, said:  “I have featured in about five films including Aiyelaba.
“I produced Bunmi Akata which I use a bunch of 100 keys to act. I am also a makeup artist.
“On the day I was arrested, a woman named Mama Ayoola, called me and said that I should bring weaveon for her. I did not know Mama Ayoola was not living at that compound. When I got there, I asked a girl about Mama Ayoola and she directed me to knock on the next door.
“ An Igbo man peeped from the door and said Mama Ayo was not living there. And as I was about going out, the mob pounced on me, searched my bags and found the hundred keys with the weaveon. They later handed me over to the policemen at Alade Divisional headquarters.”
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges and the magistrate, Justice Mrs. E.A. Adekomaya, granted her bail in the sum of N14,000 with two sureties who must own a landed property in Lagos, with evidence of paying tax to Lagos state government.
The case was adjourned till 12 March, 2013, while the defendant was moved to Kirikiri prison in Apapa, Lagos pending when she could perfect her bail conditions.

Mystery Corpses Were Our Members — MASSOB

A new twist was added on Thursday to the controversy surrounding the mystery corpses found floating on the Ezu River three weeks ago, when the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra claimed that the corpses belonged to its members arrested and detained by security agencies in Anambra State.
In its first reaction to the discovery of the corpses, MASSOB said the corpses were bodies of its members, who were never released from detention or charged to court by the police.
The Director of Information, MASSOB, Mr. Uchenna Madu, said the movement had petitioned the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon; President Barack Obama; the United Nations Human Rights Commission; and Amnesty International, protesting the mass killing of its members by Nigerian security agencies.
He gave the names of MASSOB members the movement suspected to be among those killed and dumped in the Ezu River to include Basil Ogbu, Michael Ogwa, Sunday Omogo, Philip Nwankpa, Eze Ndubisi, Ebuka Eze, Obinna Ofor, Joseph Udoh and Uchechukwu Ejiofor.
He said they were arrested at MASSOB security office at Onitsha Anambra State on November 9, 2012, by a combined team of the army, police and State Security Service men and handed over to the State Anti-Robbery Squad headquarters, Awkuzu Anambra State, where they were detained until their disappearance.
He said, “Efforts by our counsel to secure their bail from the police proved futile. Our demands for their arraignment before a competent court of law were frustrated by SARS officers. They claimed that the court was not sitting because of Christmas.
“We got information from an insider at SARS headquarters, Awkuzu, that armless MASSOB members detained at SARS were secretly killed alongside other robbery suspects.”
The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka, however dismissed the claims of MASSOB, saying the police were still waiting for the report of the autopsy carried out on the corpses dumped in the river.
Meanwhile, an Onitsha Magistrate Court, presided over by Mrs. E.O. Ughanze,has ordered the police to issue a hearing notice to Directorate of Public Prosecution in a case involving the Region 4 Administrator of the movement of MASSOB, Chief Arinze Igbani,
Igbani and two others (Ugwu Chikezie and Chukwudi Udemobi) were on Thursday arraigned at the magistrate court on a two-count charge of conspiracy, aiding and abetting.
