On Friday 29th June, 2001, there was Presidential media chat at Aso rock.The following points were highlighted:
1. Food crises in the country:
Gen. Obasanjo said that there is nothing like food crises in Nigeria.
His reasons:
a) Food price rose because of workers pay package.
b) That farmers are having good reward of their labour.
Side talk: A man wanted to buy roasted corn same yesterday at Abuja. The seller told him =N=20.00 for a small stick of roasted maize.
The man told the woman that he want only the corn on the stick not the stick.
When I meet the man we calculated the number of corn on that stick. It was less than 100. Imagine, if 100 corn cost =N=20.00 which is 2000 kobo. so, 1 corn is 20 kobo.
Now, my question can one popcorn cost 20 cents at USA?
Any Aremu said no food crises? Think of the solutions to this mess. Biafra of course.
Back to prseidential media talk:
2. Federal government has decided to build police station in the neighbouring counties.
Reason:
To check the armed bandities in the country (Nigeria).
Is it funny? To me it sounds so funny, because that same yesterday. raypowered announced that Armed Robbers killed 10 people at Bariga, Lagos.
Is the armed robbers outside Nigerian territory? They are within his police.
We heard that, they have arrested a police office that supplies weaponds to robbers.
You must have heard what happen in Kogi state sometimes ago, where police set some traders ablazed in their bus and took their =N=4m. One escaped to tell the story. The police were later executed according to the government.
Media chat continues:
3. That the 100% declaration at our sea port will never be changed.
Reasons:
Some imports gives false declaration of the content of their containers.
Our story:
This week there was report and counter report from the customs and and Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
The customs said that they discovered pilles of =N=500 notes that is printed in China loaded in a container.
A day later the NPA came up, saying that it is a false report that nothing like that was discovered.
Is it not Aremu and his crooks friends trying to justify their messed up policies?
We will never accept this type of people in Biafra. Living in Falsehood.
On Aburi, we stand.
