Nigerian investors to arrive in 7 private jets

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2013 - 00:00 -- BY CONSTANT MUNDA

A high-powered delegation of Nigerian investors is expected to fly in today to join the three-day state visit of President Goodluck Jonathan. Around 50 wealthy investors will arrive in a fleet of seven private jets, according to a close source.

They include Aliko Dangote of Dangote Group, Africa’s richest businessman, ranked among the top 25 in the world, whose worth is over $20 billion (over Sh1.75 trillion).

The two economic powerhouses of West and East Africa are expected to sign major trade deals in their first meeting of such magnitude. The Nigerian President’s plane will touch down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at 4pm and he will be welcomed by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

There will be a formal state reception including a guard of honour at State House, Nairobi. The two heads of state will hold meetings with public and private sector actors to foster bilateral and trade ties.

The chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Kiprono Kittony, said the visit will go a long way to eliminate negative stereotyping between the two nations which has damaged trade.

Exports to Nigeria fell to Sh2.9 billion last year from a peak of Sh3.2 billion in 2008, according to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. Similarly imports declined to a mere Sh48.6 million from Sh169.8 million over the same period.

Last year the Kenya Association of Manufacturers visited Nigeria to seek new opportunities in West Africa. On July 16 the Nigerian and Kenyan foreign ministers signed three bilateral agreements in Abuja in the presence of Uhuru and Goodluck.

The agreements included a Joint Commission for Cooperation plan, a protocol on trade consultations, and an MoU on mutual cooperation between the Foreign Service Institute of Kenya and the Foreign Service Academy of Nigeria.

At the time a Kenyan plane had been seized for flouting Nigeria’s aviation rules when it landed with Anthony Chinedu who had been deported on suspicion of drug trafficking.

“As the business community, we highly commend President Kenyatta for reaching out to African countries that offer big opportunities for our local products,” said Kittony yesterday.

The Nigerian investors come from the manufacturing, petrochemicals, agribusiness, food, commodities and telecommunications industries. They include Tony Elumelu, Sani Dangote and Whitey Basson.

The Kenyan Chamber is expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with its Nigerian counterpart tomorrow morning before an agribusiness luncheon hosted by the Central Bank and coordinated by the Chamber at a Nairobi hotel.

The luncheon will be attended by both heads of state. Nigeria has more developed banking, oil and gas industries while Kenya has a successful domestic service sector including aviation, tourism and hospitality industries.

“Both countries are also primary producers in different sectors and that opens a whole window of opportunities to do business especially in areas of industrial development,” Kittony said.

“For example, Nigeria imports a lot of butter from far countries such as New Zealand and Australia when we sometimes have a surplus here.” Dangote has just finalised a $3.3billion loan deal for construction of the biggest oil refinery and fertiliser factory in Africa with Standard Chartered Bank and Nigeria’s Guaranty Trust Bank. The two plants will cost a total of $9 billion and will create 9,500 direct and 25,000 indirect jobs.

My response to Kenya's Minister talk about GEJ visits to Kenya with 7 planes.

In a recent interview with press men, Kenyan Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary, Amina Mohammed took on President Goodluck Jonathan over fleets of presidential aircraft he travelled with during his visit to the Kenya.

Goodluck Jonathan had visited Kenya to take part in the just concluded Independence Day celebration.

Amina was caught on tape saying “Your president visited our country with seven private jets and that has never happened before. We were all excited.”

“This is Nigeria. It’s a country with the largest private jets. Seven private jets only. I know there must be more, but for us, that was wow. Everybody came in their own jets” she smirked.
..

If the President of Nigeria is invited to Kenya and he decided to invite business giants like Dangote, Adenuga, Capt Hosa Okunbor, Oristejiafor, does she expect them to go and jump a ride in the president's plane when they have their personal private jets? This smack on envy from Kenya and Nigeria government should ask her to render apology and for the government of Kenya to sack her.

NORTHERN MUSLIM ELDERS ARE IN TROUBLE AND THEY KNOW IT

NORTHERN MUSLIM ELDERS ARE IN TROUBLE AND THEY KNOW IT

The North is in a big mess and we know it. There is a revolution coming to the North and it will consume a lot of people. The Elders already see the revolution coming and they themselves are talking about it. For a long time the Northern Muslim Elders have been able to turn the attention of the youth against Christians using religion. Northern states have produced 9 Head of States. Only one (Gen. Yakubu Gowon) is the only Christian. What did these 8 Head of States except Sir Ahmadu Bello do for the people? How come the people are poor when their own people have been in power most of the time?

Most of the Governors in the North are muslims. How come their people are so poor? How come they are the ones selling water in jerry cans? How come they are the ones doing shoe shining? How come they are the ones breaking fire woods into pieces? How come they are the ones doing maiguard, night guard work? These Northern leaders have cheated the Northern masses too much.
Most of the Federal Ministers from the North are muslims. What did their people benefit from it? Almost nothing.

The Northern States have far more Local Governments. None earns less than N100 million a month from the Federal Government. What did they do with it? The Federal Government pumped billion of Naira into nomadic education. Where is the result?
Most of those who are Ambassadors from the North are muslims. The Governor of Central Bank is a muslim from the North. The Minister of Education is a muslim from the North. The Inspector General of Police is a muslim from the North. The National Security Adviser is a muslim from the North. The Chief Justice of the Federation is a muslim from the North. There are more Northern muslims Senators.

There are more muslim Northern House of Representative Members. There are more Northern muslim Commissioners of Police. Most of those who own Petrol Stations in the North are muslims. Most of those who have been Executive Directors from the North are muslims. Most of the Vice Chancellors of Universities and Rectors of Polytechnics in the North are muslims. Most of the owners of trailers in the North are muslims. All who have ever been Vice Presidents of Nigeria from the North are all muslims. What have the Christians done in the North to cause poverty in the North that warrants total annihilation? They are attacking the wrong people.

Recently we heard that 80% of Oil Blocks are in the hands of Multinationals the Foreigners. But 80% of the remaining 20% are in the hands of 11 Northerners. Only one is a Christian. The remaining 10 are muslims from the North.
The only Christian among them is distributing the money all over the Country. Recently he gave Ahmadu Bello University N2.3 Billion.

By now we expect the masses in the North to call all their people who have Oil Blocks, all their people who have been Heads of States, all their people who have been Vice Presidents, all their people who have been Governors of Central Bank, all their people who have been Ambassadors, all their people who have been Federal Ministers, all their people who have been Director Generals, all their people who have been Governors and Deputy Governors, and all their people who have been Local Governments Chairmen to come and answer why the North is poor, why Northerners are suffering.

You can deceive the people most of the time but you cannot deceive the people all of the time.

MY ADVICE TO THE NORTHERN MUSLIM LEADERS.
It is not too late to prevent a bloody revolution. Stop blaming Jonathan. Come together and do the following:
1. Find the greatest need of your people. Vocational jobs, training and mass scholarships. Agricultural loans made available to the poor. Build dams and boreholes everywhere. Provide medical clinics that are functioning. Find projects that can touch their lives. Do launching and fund raising. Let all of the Big Men mentioned earlier come and give away half i.e. 50% of their wealth to help their people. They cannot finish spending the remaining 50% until they die peacefully. If they refuse to do this, the revolution will come and consume them. It will take away all their wealth.
You can ask President Jonathan to join you by donating generously to the projects. Multinational companies will also donate.
Time is running out. No need to play to the gattery. No need to do escapism. The Boko Haram has almost finished dealing with Christians yet their problems are not solved. They will descends on their Elders and consume them.
Soon the list of all who have license to export Crude Oil will come out.
Soon the list of all those who have huge deposit in their foreign accounts will come out.
Why turn muslim areas of the North into Ghost towns? Why destroy the whole place? Why present our youth for slaughter? What percentage of children of the rich are in terrorism?
Big people do not care if the poor die or if their children are being slaughtered daily.

Let the donation start coming in. let the fund raising start. Let the projects be advertised. Let Boko Haram suspend terrorism for six months. Let development break forth everywhere. Let massive youth vocational training take place.
The Northern children have high intelligence but they have no chance to develop it or show it. Let us give them a chance. The Elders have been selfish and greedy. Let them stop that. Let them show remorse. Let them repent.

They must start now stop all the rhetoric and start doing something now before it is too late.
Boko Haram and Amnesty
The call for amnesty for Boko Haram without talking about all who have been killed injured or affected is out of place.
The difference between Boko Haram and Niger Delta Militants
1. The militants did not attack mosques or churches.
2. The militants did not ask muslims to vacate their areas.
3. Niger Delta militants leaders were known and were ready for discussion. Boko Haram came as a faceless organization.
4. Boko Haram attacked innocent citizens, slaughtered some like rams, gunned some down and boombed churches. The Niger Delta militants did not do anything like that.
5. Niger Delta militants made their grievances known to Government for a long time before getting armed. Boko Haram just got up to kill.
6. Boko Haram must tell us their sponsors or sources of funds.
If you grant amnesty to Boko Haram members, then 2million people can claim to be members looking for benefits.
1. What compensation will Government pay for innocent people killed?
2. What compensation will Government pay for the injured?
3. What compensation will Government pay for those whose businesses were ruined?
4. What compensation will Government pay for those who were displaced and/or traumatized by Boko Haram?
All who claim to be Boko Haram should present their names, passport photographs, telephone numbers and places of abode, and states of origin.
Those who have committed murder, arson or terrorism will be tried.
Those who have not committed any crime should be let go.
Then State Governments should then arrange to train the jobless people among them. The Federal Government can come to the aid of the state Governments when they have shown commitment.
All the 10 other Northerners (i.e. except Gen T.Y Danjuma) with Oil Blocks should be made to contribute N10 billion each to the empowerment of youths of Northern States. Each state in the North should get at least N5 billion.

The over 300 churches and 1000 christian businesses ruined by boko haram post election violence should be compensated.".

Here is a post by Sydey Slim Iyke Scofield and my responses

The following takes place between 9pm 31/12/2013 and 1am 01/01/2014.
Events occur in Nigerian time.

- There is so much noise, the Choir is leading the congregation in series of "praise" and "worship" songs. Soon the Pastor will climb the altar. He will welcome everyone into the new year. Prayers will be said to ensure a smooth passage. The Pastor will hear god speak in his ear. Prophesies will be made. The first offering of the year will be collected. The congregation will disperse.- ......Somewhere in the middle of January, a fasting program will start. The aim? To make sure nothing stops you from achieving all you desire in the new year......

The truth?
You were here exactly 52 weeks ago, did the same things, said the same prayers, did the same dances, I even bet you can find the prayer requests you wrote if you search hard enough. But a lot has not gone according to the "expectations" of the "righteous" which supposedly cannot be cut off.

You have lost yet another bosom friend, not to death this time, but because either you grew too "holy" for your friend, or you had a dream in which that your friend's dog was pursuing you....a dream which according to your pastor implies that your friend has been the enemy against your destiny.....a verdict you wouldn't have gotten if you'd consulted the right person for your worry- a psychotherapist. And so your circle of human friends keeps dwindling.....but ofcourse you're now acquainted with a few more spiritual friends to make up for that...

Your Dad has refused to take the job he was offered at that Hotel, because the booze they sell is against his faith. Besides, the sinners who lodge there are heavily yoked with prostitutes. So he sits at home, either picking a quarrel with the neighbors, or waiting for a job from the lord.......either way, he wont bee able to pay your sister's fees, which means that she'll probably be the prostitute that will be sleeping with one of the guests at that Hotel a few days hence.

And I nearly forgot your new year resolutions.....another list of "principles" you wont be adhering to, and "targets" you wont be meeting....Because god is in control of your life now, and you need not worry what tomorrow will bring. So having relinquished all your responsibilities to "ghosts", it's quite no shock that you never get around to ticking off anyone of those targets from the lists....as done.

So all the visions and prophesies of the past years...about you becoming a millionaire, about that dream husband, or that pregnancy, or that Job, or car or house....they didn't come true because you somehow conveniently sinned or didn't have enough faith....or could it be that.....no...no....no....god is not man, so he cannot lie. Maybe it isn't god's time yet?

I don't blame you so much about all this, after all the Prophesies keep mentioning that "his" coming is now nearer than it was a forthnight ago....So yeah its very difficult to put 100% effort at anything, when you ain't sure if you'll finish it before the "end" comes.....

Oh my...the guilt you have to live in, and the fear, waking up to a silent house, and wondering if everyone has been raptured- But your Dad couldn't have been "raptured", didn't he slap your mum and call you an idiot before you fell asleep? So the guilt keeps mounting, how can you be sure you lived without "sin" today, a rapturable life? And you can't remember if you've confessed and asked god for forgiveness for yesterday's stare at that lady's sumptuous boobs....oh no....the thought is giving you an erection again and you're wondering if you probably need to cut off this dick of yours since its leading you into sin....or whether the problem is the eyes....or shouldn't the blame go to that heathen lady for exposing so much of her cleavage? 

Confusion....

But our god is not the author of confusion....seriously?

I think I'm going to sit down....and re-evaluate these beliefs of mine......from the very beginning. I can't live another few years of my life this way.
