	Nigeriaworld -- Obasanjo's crocodile tears over probity in the Nigerian Public Service

		Nigerians agree with the President's assertion that "even if they are not brought to book now, they will still face the music after their tenure." But Obasanjo's administration should make sure the Judiciary is strong enough to prosecute them.

		For Nigerians without a culture of social or political activism, the NLC methods had produced results that left government frustrated, which is why the President is determined to have NLC decentralized and weakened.

	Daily Headlines : Emergency rule in Plateau State:You can't sack Dariye•Rotimi Williams tells Obasanjo
		The legal icon’s condemnation of Obasanjo’s action on the Plateau State crisis was made at a press conference he addressed yesterday in Lagos just as the Catholic Church in Nigeria described the imposition of the emergency rule as a fire brigade approach that will not solve the intractable ethno-religious crisis in the country.
		Williams pointed out that the state of emergency ought to have been at the recommendation of the state governor with the approval of the state house of assembly and not the president merely issuing a proclamation and getting it endorsed by the National Assembly.
		According to the church’s spokesman, the state of emergency, apart from reflecting bias, has amply demonstrated that the president has lost grip, adding that it is a bad precedence that will not translate to a way forward in stemming the perennial ethno-religious crises in Nigeria.

	THE MISREPRESENTATION OF NIGERIA: THE FACTS AND THE FIGURES BY bala Usman
		These Nigerians, are determined that, such a narrow-minded, short-sighted, and backward-looking, campaign, will not succeed in breaking up their country and send them running helter-skelter, as refugees and displaced and destitute persons, waiting for foreign emergency food relief, and looking for asylum, or, for a new country to call their own.
		Therefore, these states, covering 60% of the Nigerian area, should be regarded as the primary oil-producing sates, producing the primary raw material for the making of crude oil and gas; and the states where the oil is now extracted become the secondary oil-producing states.
		In this story, this distortion of Nigerian realities involves not only the misrepresentation of the background and the general context of the violent communal conflicts whose consequence are being reported upon, but is extended to the misrepresentation of the consequences themselves and even of the nature and scale of the conflicts.

		The return of Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, governor of Bayelsa state in the oil-producing Niger Delta, deals a severe blow to President Olusegun Obasanjo's campaign to curb theft of public resources by some state governors.
		Alamieyeseigha's detention in Britain was interpreted by many Ijaw as a slight on them as he is the only Ijaw among Nigeria's 36 state governors.
		Many of the governor's loyalists allege that he is being persecuted because of his allegiance to Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is engaged in a fierce power struggle with Obasanjo ahead of the next presidential election in 2007.
