Jonathan's New Year pain for Nigerians
What kind of country is Nigeria? This question becomes pertinent in view of the contemptuous treatment that successive administrations have been inflicting on the citizens of this nation. May be because Nigerians are renowned for docility; may be due to their proclivity for good life or even their fear for voluntarily assumed discomfort associated with revolt, past administrations in the nation have capitalised on these avoidable inadequacies to impose draconian policies on them.
What happened in other countries that triggered instant peoples revolt had occurred in the country without any significant repercussion. The constitution states that sovereignty belongs to the people through whom the government derive its powers. Every Nigerian government have always behaved as if it gave itself power. Whether under the military or even now under the so called constitutional government, the story remains the same. And sadly, Nigerians rather than act have imbibed the habit of complaining to themselves instead of taking drastic actions that can safeguard their destinies.
President Goodluck Jonathan, an obviously weak leader, must have studied and exploited this human frailty in Nigerians before insisting and eventually implementing, with the active connivance of agents of neo-colonialism around him, his very unpopular policy of removing fuel subsidy on petrol on January 1st, 2012. This was done without any iota of respect for the feelings of Nigerians that were still in festive mood on the first day of the New Year
The truth is that 2012, to many Nigerians that are not in the privileged class, is New Year, new pain. Despite Jonathan's knowledge that petrol is the driving force behind this economy that can not boast of stable power supply, he, as president confirmed his meanness when he went ahead to increase petrol price from N65 per litre to a cruel official N141 per litre. This is an increment of over a hundred per cent in a country where over 70 per cent of the population live below poverty level despite the nation's crude oil and other natural mineral endowment: Where there is no workable transportation system and where the minimum wage is a meagre N18, 000 per month.
Jonathan and the leader of his economic team, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala sent dummy to Nigerians that the removal will take effect from April but they had other hideous plans. Ngozi gave the impression sometime ago that fuel price will be N120 per litre but she reneged on this unaffordable per litre price that Nigerians then rejected outrightly by coming up on January 1st with a higher per litre price of petrol; Ngozi, an agent of the imperialists, also mischievously shifted the commencement date forward, jolting the people in the process. It is unfortunate that President Jonathan is now running the country's public affairs with deceit that is drastically eroding the trust that Nigerians ought to have in him and other henchmen in the corridors of power. What then is governance without trust from the governed? When is Nigeria going to get a leader that can be trusted? When is the time going to be ripe to get a leader that is truly Nigerian and one that will have empathy and sympathy for Nigerians?
President Jonathan has proved in speech and conduct that he is not such a leader that would take the country to the level anticipated by its foremost nationalists at independence in 1960. Nigerians do not deserve to be paying exorbitant price for petrol that is derived from crude oil that is in abundance in the country. For the umpteenth time, let me repeat in this column that what is called subsidy on fuel is the laxity, ineptitude and official corruption/criminal connivance with independent oil marketers that have become problematic for government to solve overtime. This is the price that the government wants ordinary Nigerians to be paying today in the nation. What then is the essence of a government that can not solve official criminality in the oil sector of its economy?
Assuming the Jonathan administration can solve the problem of official corruption that is spiting him in the face, he would realise that the least of his problem is the removal of subsidy on petrol. This same president that was shedding crocodile tears when he belatedly visited St Theresa's Catholic Church, Suleja that was bombed on Christmas Day ought to be concerned more about how to solve the more critical problem of Boko Haram that is threatening the nation's national stability.
The current impasse created by the unreasonable increase in the pump price of petrol is the beginning of a chain of events, the end of which no one can predict. A government that has no regard for the true feelings of the people can not be validly said to have any tinge of legitimacy. President Jonathan is fast losing legitimacy by his inactions when it mattered most and insensitivity in situations where he reluctantly acted.
Well, it is becoming a regular pattern for Nigerians to be trampled upon, using state instrument of coercion, by their government any time they feel aggrieved. It happened during the Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida's Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) riots in late eighties and the June 12 Presidential election annulment protests of 1993. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo also quelled peoples' protests against fuel price increments during his draconian reign in power. Because these despots succeeded in subduing Nigerians, Jonathan is toeing the same infamous path. Let's wait and see the outcome of next week's general strike called by the Nigeria Labour Congress in tandem with Civil Society groups on the removal of subsidy on petrol. Even if the strike fails or can not in the end achieve acceptable results, it would have succeeded in sending a signal to initiators of bad policies in the corridors of power that the day of reckoning is around the corner. I am saying 'No' to removal of subsidy on petrol on behalf of myself and family. Let fellow Nigerians and more importantly, all the agents of imperialism in the seat of power know that no degree of spurious imperialist arguments will sway my aversion for removal of subsidy on fuel.

Choice About Uncirculated 1795 Eagle, 13 Leaves (Taraszka-2) Variety1795 $10 13 Leaves AU55 PCGS. B. 2-A, Taraszka-2, R.4. Formerly offered as lot 7089 in our recent Central States Sale, where it was described as, "It is always an occasion of pride when we can offer a high grade representative of this, the first Eagle in U.S. coinage history. The 1795 is the most common issue of the Capped Bust Right, Small Eagle type, most likely because the public saved numerous examples for their impressive size and novelty. When compared to later issues, however, the 1795 is rare, and no more than 3% of the 5,583 pieces produced are believed extant. As is typical of the issue, the surfaces retain evidence of a semi-prooflike finish. The color is a deeply set, rich, green-gold shade, but warmer orange-gold overtones are seen at direct angles. The strike is well centered with few areas of noticeable incompleteness of detail, and the surfaces, while scuffy from circulation, are mostly free of individually distracting abrasions. There are, however, a few obverse scrapes around the B in LIBERTY. An important offering for the advanced type collector or gold specialist." (NGC ID# 25ZT, PCGS# 8551)

The Sefīd-Rūd (Persian: سفیدرود, pronounced: [sefiːdruːd], "White River" Azerbaijani: قزل اؤزؤن) is a river approximately 670 kilometres (416 mi) long, rising in northwestern Iran and flowing generally northeast to meet the Caspian Sea at Rasht. The river is Iran's second longest river after the Karun.
Sefid Rud has cut a water gap through the Alborz Mountains, the Manjil gap,[1] capturing two headwater tributaries and widening the valley between the Talesh Hills and the main Alborz range. The gap provides a major route between Tehran and Gīlān Province with its Caspian lowlands.[1]
Other names and transcriptions include Sepīd-Rūd, Sefidrud, Sefidrood, Sepidrood, and Sepidrud. Above Manjil, the river was known as Qizil Uzun, "Long Red River".[2][3] The river is famous for the quantity of its fish, especially the Caspian trout, Salmo trutta caspius[4]
In the wide valley before Sepid Rud enters the Caspian a number of transportation and irrigation canals have been cut; the two biggest are the Khomam and the Now.[5] The river was dammed in 1962 by the Shahbanu Farah Dam[6] (later renamed Manjil Dam) which created a 1.86 cubic kilometres (0.45 cu mi) reservoir and allowed the irrigation of an additional 2,380 km2 (919 sq mi).[6] The reservoir mediates some flooding and significantly increased rice production in the delta.[7][8] The hydroelectric component of the dam generates 87,000 kilowatts.[6] The completion of the dam had a negative impact on the river's fisheries, through reduced stream flow (due to diversion), increased water temperature, and decreased food availability, especially for sturgeon but also for the Caspian trout.[9]
The river was known in antiquity by the names Mardos (Greek: Μαρδος; Latin: Mardus) and Amardos (Greek: Αμαρδος; Latin: Amardus).[3] In the Hellenistic period the north side of the Sefid (then Mardus) was occupied by the mountain tribe the Cadusii.[10]
David Rohl identifies the Sefīd-Rūd with the Biblical Pishon river.

29 year old woman | El Mirage, AZ, USA | Seeking men 28-37 within 25 miles
Just looking for someone to enjoy life with who has the same goals and interests as me.
I normally have a hard time describing myself because I tend to change on a daily basis. I am a calm person by nature, I have even been described as having the disaster management skills of the Red Cross and the patience of a saint. I believe that people's actions and reactions are choices, not coincidence or forced. I am a family person by nature and absolutely love my critters. Education is very important to me. I plan to go as far with it as I can handle but am currently taking a break before I either go back for a PHD or my second Master's. Life is about living and learning, and I enjoy being around people with the same attitude. Education must be important to my significant others as well. My goal is to get a good education, get out of debt with school loans and then build a life for myself. My dream is to own the perfect little house one day and have a job that I am happy with and I'm pretty close with having a home I enjoy and starting my career with a position I am content with. I don't believe that money is the key to happiness, so I've never been set on earning a lot of it. I like all kinds of music. Currently I'm in a bit of a punk rock phase, but that can change at any time. Almost any music made in the last 60 years is enjoyable to me. Not too keen on the popular music or hip hop, but every genre has songs that I like. I also greatly enjoy art. My favorite artists right now would be Wasily Kandinsky and Jackson Pollack. I prefer abstract art, but like I said, any genre will have pieces that I like. I like comedy and being loud is sometimes a necessity for me. Laughing can make any situation better, so I tend to joke about almost anything. I can jump from being very quiet and serene to being loud a boisterous so I need someone who can work with all of my many moods. Very rarely is there a really bad day for me, so I not a sad or angry person by nature. I really don't know what else to say, so I guess any questions, just ask. I'm sometimes annoyingly honest about myself, so beware.
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Playing cards , Political interests , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Volunteering
Auto racing / Motorcross, Billiards / Pool, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Cats, Dogs
I like Exotic Pets, Horses, Other
I have one cat who for some reason is always either needy or disgruntled and a wonderful akita who doesn't get the idea of personal space.
Right now I'm just trying to find new places to go. Not much into the club scene, more like the little hole in the wall places.
Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, AZ
I absolutely love desserts and for some reason belgian waffles satisfy my sweet tooth, or pretzels and beer cheese. I really enjoy reading and watching movies, eating popcorn curled up under covers.
I'm up to pretty much anything but for fun I love movies. I tend to be a bit of a wuss with horror films and gorey movies, but I'll still watch them. I also love going to relaxed places like piano bars, museums and places where I can learn.
I like reading a lot of feminist theory but currently I am in to futuristic dystopian novels.

When you are very young, much of what you do is centered around making friends and ensuring that you are able to spend time with them. Kids will go through the entire school week with a focus on ensuring they are able to gather with their friends and enjoy a simple get together. Much of this has to do with the fact that kids place a lot of value on having as many friends as possible. Wanting to fit in and knowing that you have people who are looking to spend time with you can be a great feeling. However, this is something that becomes very difficult once you begin to transition out of the age where you are attending school on a regular basis. Kids will eventually turn into young adults, these adults are required to get jobs and start to earn money that would be the key to ensuring that the bills coming in do not become an issue. When you are focused on making as much money as possible, it can be very difficult to find the time needed to do anything for yourself. In fact, this would often translate into falling out of touch with friends that you were once close to. It is important for you to remember that real friendships are very difficult to find in life. There are not many people that are always going to be around when you need them, you should make an effort to invest in the friendships that you are lucky enough to have in your life. It is very common for adults to become confused about how they can invest in keeping the friends that exist within their lives, this will often result in a limited effort that is going to hurt the relationship in the long run.

Planning group getaways would be a very effective way to create a stronger bond with the people that you consider to be friends at the moment. If you are short on available time, this could easily get in the way of a night out with your girlfriends or guy friends, but you should not allow this to occur. Instead, you may want to do yourself a favor and plan a day into your schedule where you are going to invite all of your closest friends to enjoy a night out, this would be a great way to give yourself the same connection with others that you may have taken for granted in the past. Searching for cheap destinations could ensure that you are able to see some beautiful parts of the world without feeling like your bank account is going to vanish in the process.
