Politics / Why Peter Obi Should Run For President In 2027 (Counter Thread) by divinehand2003(m): 12:26pm On Mar 29 |
Certainly! Let's address the GidGiddi's concerns and present a compelling case for why Peter Obi should indeed consider running for the office of the President of Nigeria in 2027. 🇳🇬 **Why Peter Obi Should Run for President in 2027: A Counterargument** 1. Turning Rigged Elections into a Battle for Integrity: - While it's true that Nigerian elections have faced challenges, Peter Obi's candidacy can be a turning point. Rather than avoiding the race, he can champion electoral integrity. - Imagine Obi as the candidate who refuses to accept rigged results, who mobilizes citizens to demand transparency, and who fights for electoral reforms. His courage could inspire change. 2. Navigating Complexity with Nuance: - Yes, Nigeria is multifaceted—ethnic, religious, and ideological fault lines abound. But isn't that precisely why we need a leader like Obi? - His nuanced understanding of Nigeria's diversity positions him to bridge gaps. He can emphasize shared values, promote dialogue, and build consensus. Obi's presidency could be a unifying force. 3. The Engine Needs a Skilled Driver: - The analogy of Nigeria as a car with a knocked engine is apt. But consider this: a skilled driver can influence the engine's repair. - Peter Obi's leadership isn't just about occupying an office; it's about fixing the engine. His track record suggests he can address corruption, improve governance, and prioritize development. 4. Legacy Beyond Philanthropy: - Philanthropy is commendable, but the presidency offers a broader canvas. Obi's impact as President would extend far beyond individual lives. - Imagine policies that uplift millions, transform education, and create an environment where philanthropy thrives. His legacy could be transformative. 5. A Beacon of Hope and Inspiration: - Nigeria yearns for leaders who embody hope. Obi's journey—from a village near yours to international success—is inspiring. - His presidency would signal that merit, competence, and integrity matter. Young Nigerians would see a path to leadership beyond the usual suspects. 6. The Courage to Challenge the Status Quo: - Obi's refusal to accept a "cursed office" could be reframed. What if he enters that office not as a victim but as a disruptor? - Imagine a President Obi who challenges norms, dismantles entrenched systems, and insists on accountability. His courage could redefine the presidency. 7. The Engine Can Be Overhauled: - Yes, no Nigerian President has been perfect. But isn't that an opportunity? Obi can be the catalyst for systemic change. - His administration could prioritize electoral reforms, strengthen institutions, and empower citizens. The engine may be knocked, but it's not irreparable. 8. Leadership Amidst Storms: - Every leader faces storms—propaganda, sabotage, and ideological battles. But isn't that the crucible of leadership? - Obi's resilience, strategic thinking, and ability to navigate adversity could be assets. He won't achieve everything, but progress is possible. 9. The Call to Duty: - Sometimes leaders emerge not because they seek power, but because duty calls. Obi's duty—to Nigeria, to its people—could propel him. - Imagine a President who wakes up each day driven by service, not ego. His humility could be transformative. 10. The Hope of a Better Nigeria: - Ultimately, Peter Obi's decision isn't just personal; it's about Nigeria's future. We need leaders who dare to dream. - So, let's encourage him. Let's tell him that despite the odds, despite the cynicism, he can be the change Nigeria craves. In summary, Peter Obi's candidacy isn't just about him—it's about us, about Nigeria. Let's envision a presidency that defies conventions, repairs the engine, and sets a new course. 🇳🇬✨ 149 Likes 24 Shares

Politics / Despair Or Surrender Is Not An Option, Obi Tells Supporters by divinehand2003(m): 6:47am On Sep 10, 2023 |
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the February 25, 2023 election, Mr. Peter Obi, has called on the members of the Obidients movement and the generality of his supporters not to be depressed by the last Wednesday’s ruling of the Presidential Election Petitions Court (PEPC), stressing that the dream remains alive and is only deferred. Obi, in a message to the Obidient movement and his numerous supporters at home and in the diaspora who must be feeling forlorn and disheartened, said despair is not an option. “Understandably, there has been a note of general disappointment within our fold and indeed the general population of Nigerians who hoped that the outcome of the February 25 presidential election would usher in a new and different Nigeria of our dreams. That dream has only been deferred for now but remains alive for all times.” The LP standard bearer noted that “since the tribunal verdict, there has been a note of general despair among Obidients and the generality of our supporters but let me assure us all that on this journey, despair or surrender is not our options.” He said: “Today, I want to personally reach out and encourage you all to keep hope alive. Considering the challenges that lie ahead of us as a movement, despair is not an option. Nothing good in life comes easy. Throughout history, positive change comes only with sacrifice, perseverance, resilience and fluctuating fortunes.” The former Anambra State governor reminded his supporters of his earlier warning before the elections that it was not going to be a sprint but a marathon. “Right from the onset of our journey, I told you that the journey upon which we were about to embark was not a short sprint but a long and tough marathon. It was always going to be difficult, painful, and excruciating. “We set out knowing fully well that the forces we are up against are entrenched and formidable but not insurmountable. They would resist the wind of change and try to push us into surrender or despair. We must not succumb to their design. “I am inspired that we have endured the odds placed in our way at every point. In such a short space of time, we have persevered to get to the point where we cannot be ignored any longer. Therefore, I urge you to abide and never think of giving up.” Obi assured them that rather than being downcast, “our recent disappointments have inspired me to re-dedicate myself to the cause of building a new Nigeria. For me, rescuing Nigeria is a lifelong commitment. And on this journey, we shall be resolute but orderly, principled but lawful. I assure you that we shall persist with even greater determination and zeal until we get to our destination. Nigeria must belong to all Nigerians and not to a select few,” the LP presidential candidate added. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2023/09/10/despair-or-surrender-is-not-an-option-obi-tells-supporters?amp=1 |
Family / "Journey To Forgiveness: Adieu Adewale" by divinehand2003(m): 11:19pm On Aug 19, 2023 |
I was summoned suddenly to the hospital after almost three years of separation. He was on the sick bed, seeing each other again, reminded me of the many dreams I've had about him and how i was the one telling him I don't have anything against him again. I did the same, he was calm, he responded positively to everything I said to him, I apologized for the wrongs I did, which was to call the cops, I told him the devil did us great evil and we can start all over again. I asked if I should go home and make food for him, he said yes, oh, what a joy! I miss cooking for him, I told him, our kids are fine and standing by him on the bedside was my 13yrs old, and I said, I never fought you back, I've been waiting and hoping that all this war will end oneday. The SW said he was okay that I came, There's a me that's feeling hopeful that he's going to come back home and all shall be well again. Only for me to be called again late night that he died. I was confused, I ran to the hospital confused, my sight became blurry, and I couldn't imagine me seeing him dead. I was hoping we would talk about everything and how much I had learned and suffered alone with the kids. I was hoping I would get the opportunity to tell him, he hurt me so much and made me suffer like a criminal that I wasn't. My head went blank. I had bladder loose. I couldn't comprehend anything. I was numb. I was summoned to pick up his body. Where do I go from here, koyemi. I was handed over all his house keys, car keys, credit cards, everything!!! Still in shock, I visited his home to move his stuff back home, and my heart kept breaking as many things were being revealed at that time. He has different types of concoctions sent to him from nigeria by his families that he's been taking, which led to his kidney damage. I realized I'm the one who often scrutinized his intakes. 12 years of marriage, he never visited the hospital or had any course to be admitted. I began to hear many things. I have questions I couldn't answer. It feels like the enemy planned it all out. During his burial, I saw his eyelids moved, oh, I was going to say, "Prince, oya get up, let's go home." I realized that despite all that happened, at the end of it all, he was my responsibility to care for after he died. I said to myself, where are all the people who encouraged him to wage war against his only family? They are nowhere to be found. We are by ourselves now! Me, him, and his kids. This is family! Never allow anyone in your marriage. When it's all done and clear, it's gonna be you and him and your kids. There's no one else again who's as important as your wife/husband. Only my signature was accepted, I was told you're his next of kin, and he didn't change anything despite his rage. My heart kept aching. Nobody else matters at this moment, but his family. Please don't let love and forgiveness diminish from your home, no matter how bad the situation looks. We only know the beginning of war, but we never know the end of it. I thank God I was able to speak to him, I told him, I never fought you, despite all that you did to me. He was quiet, I told him, "I do call you, but you don't answer my call. But, it's fine, let's forget all that happens and move on. But he chose to go REST from it all. Adieu Adewale https://twitter.com/Temmy_omoileri/status/1692518025340317874 |

Politics / FG Increases Tinubu’s Monthly Salary To N8.1 Million; VP, Lawmakers, Judicial Of by divinehand2003(m): 7:12pm On Jun 21, 2023 |
FG increases Tinubu’s monthly salary to N8.1 million; VP, lawmakers, judicial officers get 114% salary bumps The chairman said the commission reviewed the remuneration packages in the reports based on subjective and objective criteria. President Bola Tinubu [Photo: officialABAT] The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has adjusted the remuneration of President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and other political and judicial officeholders by 114 per cent. Mr Tinubu will earn N8,013,527 monthly, a 114 per cent increase from former President Muhammadu Buhari’s monthly salary of N3,514,705, according to a report presented by RMAFC chairman, Muhammadu Shehu, on Tuesday in Birnin Kebbi. Mr Shehu presented the reports of the reviewed remuneration package to Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris. The RMAFC chairman, represented by the federal commissioner, Rakiya Tanko-Ayuba, presented the report to the governor during a courtesy visit at the Government House, Birnin Kebbi. Mr Shehu said the move was in line with paragraph 32(d) of Part 1 of the Third Schedule of the 1999 Constitution, which empowers the commission to review the remuneration of political office holders. Recalling that the last review of the remuneration was carried out in 2007, Mr Shehu said the commission held a public hearing in all the geopolitical zones to deliberate on the review of remuneration packages on February 1. The chairman said the commission reviewed the remuneration packages in the reports based on subjective and objective criteria. “The subjective criteria reflected the various expressions by stakeholders through memoranda received, opinions expressed during the zonal public hearings and responses to questionnaires administered. “The objectives of the criteria were obtained from analysis of macro-economic variables, particularly the Consumer Price Index (CPI),” he noted. He added that the commission was also guided by some principles, including equity and fairness; risk and responsibilities; national order of precedence; motivation and tenure of office. Mr Shehu said concerning allowances and fringe benefits, the commission recommended that the existing allowances be maintained at the current levels since that would translate to higher provisions in actual amounts when applied on the reviewed annual basic salary. The chairman explained that concerning the judicial office holders, the commission considered introducing three new allowances. He listed the allowances to include “Professional Development Assistant: This is to allow for the provision of two law clerks to all judicial officers in the country. “Long Service Allowance: This is to guarantee seniority/hierarchy between officers who have been on the bench for a minimum of five years and those that are appointed newly as well as Restricted or Forced Lifestyle: This is to take care of the nature of the lifestyle of judicial officers while in active service.” Mr Shehu said the commission recommended January 1, 2023, as the effective date for implementing the reviewed remuneration packages. He urged the 36 states Houses of Assembly to hasten efforts to amend relevant laws to allow for upward review of remuneration packages for political, judicial and public officers. The work by the State Houses of Assembly will allow for the commencement of implementation of the reviewed remuneration packages for political, public and judicial officers. The state governor with his deputy, Abubakar Tafida; speaker of the Kebbi State House of Assembly, Muhammadu Ankwai; acting chief judge of the state, Umar Abubakar; the SSG, Yakubu Tafida; head of service, Safiyanu Bena; and the chief of staff, Attahiru Maccido, keenly listened to the presentation. The governor pledged that the committee under his chairmanship would justly look into the report and convey the same to the appropriate quarters for necessary action. https://gazettengr.com/fg-increases-tinubus-monthly-salary-to-n8-1-million-vp-lawmakers-judicial-officers-get-114-salary-bumps/ |
Romance / 12 Differences Between A Husband And A Boyfriend by divinehand2003(m): 9:09pm On May 20, 2023 |
Here are 12 differences between a husband and a boyfriend: 1. Commitment: A husband is committed to a long-term, legally recognized partnership, while a boyfriend may have a less formal commitment. 2. Legal and Financial Obligations: A husband has legal responsibilities and financial obligations to his spouse, such as joint property ownership, shared finances, and potential alimony or child support. A boyfriend typically does not have these legal and financial obligations. 3. Future Planning: A husband and wife often make long-term plans together, such as buying a house, having children, or building a life together. Boyfriends may have less concrete or definitive plans for the future. 4. Emotional Support: A husband typically provides consistent emotional support to his spouse, while a boyfriend's level of emotional support may vary. 5. Household Responsibilities: Husbands often share household responsibilities and decision-making with their wives, while boyfriends may have less involvement or shared responsibilities in managing a household. 6. Social Status: Being a husband implies a higher level of commitment and social recognition compared to being a boyfriend, who is generally seen as less committed or in a less serious relationship. 7. Legal Rights: Husbands have specific legal rights and protections, such as inheritance rights, medical decision-making authority, and spousal privilege in legal matters. Boyfriends do not have these legal rights. 8. Partnership: Husbands and wives typically view their relationship as a partnership, working together to achieve common goals. Boyfriends may have a more individualistic approach to the relationship. 9. Depth of Intimacy: The level of emotional and physical intimacy often deepens in a marital relationship compared to a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. 10. Shared Responsibility: Husbands often take on shared responsibilities in raising children, managing finances, and supporting the family, while boyfriends may have less involvement in these areas. 11. Mutual Trust: Trust is crucial in both relationships, but the level of trust and reliance tends to be higher between spouses compared to a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. 12. Longevity: Marriage is intended to be a lifelong commitment, while a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship may have less certainty about its duration and future. It's important to note that relationships can vary greatly, and these differences may not apply universally to all husbands and boyfriends. 25 Likes 4 Shares |
Sports / Israel Adesanya’s Ex-girlfriend Takes Legal Steps To Get Half Of His Wealth by divinehand2003(m): 6:33pm On May 13, 2023 |
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, is trending online as reports emerged that his ex-girlfriend is demanding half of his net worth. Adesanya and the woman, reportedly Charlotte Powdrell were never married but dated for a very long time.According to UFC fighter Sean O’Malley on a podcast, he expressed displeasure at the demands issued to Adesanya by the woman. On his podcast, he said, “They are not married right they were never married I didn’t believe it she want’s half of his s*t. I don’t know how their relationship was ever because I didn’t even know he had a girlfriend, but to want half of his s*t to want half of what he’s gone out there and done is absolutely ridiculous. I mean it’s hard to say who knows maybe if they were together for 15 years since the beginning and she didn’t work because she was constantly making him food massage and at the gym doing all this stuff for him.” Adesanya through his skill as an elite fighter along with incredible business acumen has been able to build an empire. However, Charlotte who doesn’t have kids for her ex, believes that she has a stake in Adesanya’s wealth for supporting him through the years to become UFC Champion and because they dated for a very long time. https://instablog9ja.com/2023/05/13/ufc-middleweight-champion-israel-adesanyas-ex-girlfriend-reportedly-takes-legal-steps-to-get-half-of-his-wealth/

Politics / LP To Elected Members: Align With Apapa, Lose Your Seats by divinehand2003(m): 6:11am On May 04, 2023 |
Labour Party’s (LP) leadership crisis escalated further yesterday with the Julius Abure and Lamidi Apapa groups holding separate National National Working Committee (NWC) meetings in Abuja and Bauchi. At the Abuja meeting, the Abure group warned that any elected member of the LP found to be in support of Apapa risked having his seat declared vacant. It added that other members that lend their loyalty to the suspended National Chairman(South) could be expelled. But at the Bauchi NEC meeting, the Apapa group announced that it had pardoned LP’s Presidential candidate for the February 25 election, Peter Obi and his running-mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed for attending last month’s meeting of the NEC in Asaba, Delta State. The LP leadership crisis broke out when the Federal High Court in Abuja barred the National Chairman (Abure) and three others from parading themselves as national officers of the party. Apapa assumed the role of Acting Chairman, pending when the order of the court would be vacated. The Abure – led NWC, however, refused to recognise the leadership of Apapa. At the Abuja NEC parley yesterday, LP’s Deputy National Chairman Ladi Illiya, described the Bauchi meeting as fake and unconstitutional. Illiya added that those behind the “contrived leadership rumblings” within the LP did not wish it well. He said: “Those who are gathering in Bauchi in an attempt to hold a fake and unconstitutional National Executive Council(NEC) meeting do not represent our party. “We held our authentic constitutionally approved NEC meeting in Asaba, Delta State about two weeks ago. At the meeting, we had all the state chairmen and secretaries from the 36 states as well as the Abuja chairman and secretary in attendance. , Who then are the NEC members in Bauchi? “Anyone that joins them, we will declare their seat vacant. I have the backing of the NWC on that.” LP’s Acting National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, claimed that there were plans by “detractors” to continue to instigate crisis in the party. He claimed that Apapa supporters have “been dangling carrots to “some of our leaders to either join them or be suspended.” His words: “One of the lessons we learnt is that these agents of darkness can go all the way to destabilise a political party by infiltrating its leadership and planting moles who are of course, heavily compromised to ensure that the party loses focus. “We urge the members of the public and our teaming supporters to continue to disregard the activities of Apapa and his cohorts, particularly the so-called NEC meeting in Bauchi. “Today, all chairmen and secretaries, NWC members are here. So who are they meeting with in Bauchi? Their desperation and the haste to satisfy their paymasters are high.” In Bauchi, the Apapa-led NEC said it had resolved to pardon Obi and Baba-Ahmed. It did not give a reason for the decision. The pardon is part of a 19-point communique issued by Apapa and acting National Secretary Saleh Lawan. https://thenationonlineng.net/lp-to-elected-members-align-with-apapa-lose-your-seats/ |

Politics / 26 Days To Go: Outrage As Senate Approves Buhari’s N22.7tn Extra-budgetary Spend by divinehand2003(m): 5:59am On May 04, 2023 |
•Borrowing from CBN illegal, suspicious, say NECA, LCCI, economists •N22.7tn extra-budgetary spending to raise public debts to N69tn Prominent economists, Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association and opposition parties took a swipe at the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, (retd.), and the Senate over the government’s N22.7tn extra-budgetary spending approved by the upper legislative chamber on Wednesday. While groups including NECA and the Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industry questioned the rationale for the loan by a regime that was approaching its exit, economists, in separate interviews with The PUNCH, described the approval by the Senate as unusual. With the approval by the Senate of the N22.7tn loan from the Central Bank of Nigeria extended to the Federal Government under its Ways and Means provision, Nigeria’s external debt will rise to N68.95tn. The Debt Management Office recently revealed that Nigeria’s total public debt stock increased to N46.25tn in the fourth quarter of 2022. It stated that the figure consisted of the domestic and external total debt stocks of the Federal Government and the sub-national governments (36 state governments and the Federal Capital Territory). On Wednesday, Senate approved the request of the President for Ways and Means Advances restructuring to the tune of N22.7tn, which then adds to the existing debt stock. The Ways and Means provision allows the government to borrow from the apex bank if it needs short-term or emergency finance to fund delayed government expected cash receipts of fiscal deficits. Since the government started experiencing a significant shortfall in revenue, it has relied heavily on the central bank to finance its expenditure programmes via Ways and Means. The Federal Government had said it would repay the loan with securities such as treasury bills and bonds issuance. Buhari had last year asked the Senate to approve his proposal to securitize the loan, but the Red Chamber rejected the request, citing a lack of details. Buhari, while appealing to the Senate to reconsider its stand, said failure to grant the securitization approval would cost the government about N1.8tn in additional interest in 2023. The Senate Leader, Ibrahim Gobir, who led the Senate in the debate for the approval of the Ways and Means on Wednesday, explained that part of the money was given as loans to states. Gobir added that the Special Committee was set up by the Red Chamber to scrutinize the fiscal document and put up the report after critical analysis and review of submissions made by the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget, and National Planning and the CBN. The Senate Leader said the panel discovered that the Ways and Means balance was initially N19.33tn as of June 30, 2022, but later grew to N22.72tn as of December 19, 2022, as a result of financial obligations to ongoing capital projects and additional expenditures which includes domestic debt service gaps and interest rate. He noted that the Senate on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, approved the sum of N819.54bn from the N1tn additional request made by the President, leaving an outstanding balance of N180.4bn being the accrued interest on the sum. Lawmaker justifies borrowing Gobir further stated that the House of Representatives had earlier approved the additional N1tn Ways and Means Advances requested by the President to enable the smooth implementation of the supplementary budget. Gobir said, “Part of the Ways and Means money was given to state governments as loans to augment budgetary shortfall in their various States. “Most of the requests for funds for an increase in Ways and Means were made to Mr President on the need to finance the budget due to revenue shortfall. Such requests were either made by the Hon. Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning or the Central Bank Governor. “The Federal Government as a result of revenue shortfalls occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic and low oil prices, relied heavily on the Ways and Means to finance its budget deficit to keep the country working for the people.” The Senate leader added, “The monies received by the Federal Government were used for funding critical projects across the country; “That due to the serious shortfall in Government Revenue, the Federal Government for the economy not to collapse, was compelled to borrow repeatedly from the CBN, exceeding the 5 per cent threshold of the prior year’s revenue as stipulated by the CBN Act, 2007. “That the Federal Government through the Ministry of Finance, Budget, and National Planning has concluded plans to convert the CBN loans to tradeable securities such as treasury bills and bond issuance.” Gobir said the Senate Special Committee, after exhaustive deliberations, recommended, among others, the restructuring of N22.7tn for Ways and Means Advances be approved because the advances were made to ensure that the government does not shut down. The panel further sought the approval of the Senate for the sum of N180.4bn, being the balance of the supplementary budget and the interest accrued on the Ways and Mean Advances. Other recommendations were, “If there is a need to exceed the five per cent threshold of the prior year’s revenue, recourse must be made to the National Assembly for approval. “The Federal Government should begin the process of recovering the portion of the Ways and Means given as the loans to State Governments as further deferment of the repayment of the loans by the States will not be healthy for the economy. “The Federal Government through the Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning should expedite action on the repayment of the loans through treasury bills and bond issuances. “The National Assembly will not condone future increase in the Ways and Means without seeking the approval of the National Assembly.” Meanwhile, the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, after the approval of the fiscal document, noted that the Ways and Means Advances was a global practice. Related News Senate proposes life jail for unlawful explosives maker BREAKING: Buhari unveils Agenda 2050 three years after formation Buhari to attend King Charles III's coronation in London He, however, faulted the process adopted by the executive arm of government, which failed to carry the National Assembly along while accumulating a huge amount of loans. Lawan added that the Senate had to pass the Ways and Means Advances so that the federal parliament would be able to consider and pass the 2022 Supplementary Budget still pending before the two chambers. Lawan said, “I don’t see any National Assembly standing against any infrastructure development like the building of roads and bridges among others. It is therefore very important that before the executive incurred this kind of huge Ways and Means Advances, should, as a matter of must, seek the approval of the National Assembly. Where for, whatever reason, an emergency happened, it should not take them this kind of period before a request is sent to the National Assembly for approval.” He added, “We have to pass these Ways and Means Advances because we don’t want the government to be shut down. The supplementary budget 2022, is on hold at the moment because we could not pass the Ways and Means request. However, with the passage of the Ways and Means Advances today, the Supplementary budget 2022, which essentially is to rehabilitate damaged roads and bridges across the country, will be fixed.” NECA flays FG Reacting to this, the Director General of NECA, Mr Wale Oyerinde, questioned the borrowing, which he said was dragging the economy. He said, “Our view is this, why are we borrowing again a few days before the expiration of the current administration? What the government should focus more on now is to put a closure to most of the ongoing projects and not borrow again for the incoming government to inherit. Whatever project is not completed at this time, those projects should be part of the handover. And this extended way and means of the CBN are just dragging the economy. The loan is not necessary at this point all attention should be focused on proper handing over so that the next government can start on a good note. We believe that all loans should stop until the incoming government takes over, that is our view, it is not necessary.” Also speaking, a facilitator with the Nigeria Economic Summit Group, Dr Ikenna Nwaosu, said, “I don’t know why they did what they did, they didn’t give their reasons. I know there has been opposition to that from the private sector; the organised private sector has not been in support of this because it is putting us more into debt. This is towards the end of the President, Major General Muhammed Buhari (Rted) administration. So I can only sit here and be wondering. What is the reason given by the National Assembly for passing that, what are their reasons.” On his part, a professor of economics, Sherifdeen Tella, berated the Senate for approving the ways and means request without sanctions and warnings adding that it further proves notions of being a rubber stamp assembly. He said, “The Senate should have sanctioned the Ministry of Finance and the CBN for it because once they start approving, other governments will do the same in the future and even more. It is a legal means of borrowing but it is supposed to be the last resort. It is quite unfortunate that the Senate just approved it like that without warnings and sanctions. It shows they are just rubber-stamp legislature.” He further warned the incoming administration against this line of action. “What they should do is stick to the limit because this government has misused that opportunity. Other governments may do the same in the future which is not good enough because ways and means create inflationary pressure on the economy. “For the incoming administration, it allows them to do the same and worst things which is not good enough for the economy itself. This is unfortunate.” Also, an economist, Akpan Ekpo, described the situation as “unfortunate” noting, “There is a rule that ways and means should not exceed 5 per cent of previous revenue. To approve that amount in trillions is very unfortunate and I hope it doesn’t encourage future happenings because it has increased our debt which is becoming very disturbing now. We also don’t have enough revenue to match the debt. They must ensure the central bank doesn’t do this again. It is not a welcome development. “Debt is a generational matter and it is not a good thing. Don’t be surprised the incoming administration will borrow too. I just hope a time won’t come when we are unable to service our debts.” ‘Approval unusual’ The Chief Executive Officer, Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise, Dr Muda Yusuf, said, described the approval as unusual, adding that the total public debt may hit N80tn by the end of 2023. He said, “This is an unusual approval. The National Assembly was confronted with a fait accompli. Constitutionally, the National Assembly is empowered to appropriate funds before it is spent. But we are dealing with a situation where the monies have been spent before approval is sought. It is really an unusual situation and an aberration, it is a bad precedent. “The event that led to this situation was a breach of the constitution and a flagrant violation of the CBN Act. It is necessary to officially indict agencies of government involved in these infractions. It is important for state actors to operate within the law at all times. Meanwhile, the public debt levels would be close to N80tn by the end of this year. The incoming administration would have to brace up for the challenges of managing this huge debt.” A Professor of Management and Accounting at Lead City University, Ibadan, Godwin Oyedokun, criticized the government for its penchant for borrowing. He said, “This is not the first time they are getting approval for Ways and Means and we have said that naturally, it is adding to their debt profile which some of us have frowned at. If you look at this regime, all they have done is borrow and the implication of this is that they are borrowing for the next generation to pay. ‘It is not as if that when they borrow, we are seeing the effect or impact of what they are borrowing for. With this, it means that the next government is inheriting debt. The debt that they are inheriting, it is the next generation who will pay for it. The future income we are going to generate, somebody already mortgaged it for us to use to pay the debt. “There is nothing bad in borrowing, it is only when you borrow without sense. Who is bearing the brunt of this borrowing? That is my grouse with this borrowing strategy.” Also, the Deputy-President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry described it as blatantly illegal for the National Assembly to approve spending bills that had not been duly ratified ab initio. Idahosa said the development shows the level of impunity the Federal Government currently enjoys, which is not tenable in any advanced economy in the world. He said, “You don’t borrow money that is not in the budget or any supplementary budget to accommodate that borrowing. The only reason they are able to do it is that they have control over the Central Bank. “It is because we do not have strong institutions that insist on compliance with the law, that’s why this has happened. Because this administration is coming to an end, they did not want to leave an absolute illegality as part of their handing over notes. So, they had to go and get approval for what has been spent, not what is going to be spent.” Opposition kicks The Peoples Democratic Party also chided the Nigerian Senate for approving a whopping sum of N22.7tn extra-budgetary spending. Director of Publicity of the PDP, Chinwe Nnorom said having almost exhausted his tenure, Buhari had nothing more to do than to create more confusion. On his part, spokesperson for the New Nigeria Peoples Party Presidential Campaign Council in the 2023 election, Ladipo Johnson expressed shock at the development in a conversation with The PUNCH. He said, “We are shocked at this latest insensitivity by lawmakers who are representatives of the people. What the hell does a government that has a few weeks to round off need such a huge amount of money for,” he asked. All rights reserved.

Politics / Pay Rise Coming For Health Workers, Lecturers, Others by divinehand2003(m): 6:27am On May 02, 2023 |
•Funding captured in this year’s budget, says Fed Govt •President-elect promises living wage •Other categories of federal workers, including health workers and lecturers, will soon enjoy a pay rise like their counterparts – core civil servants, who are on Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure (CONPSS). Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, said yesterday during the May Day rally in Abuja that funds for the planned increase in wages have been captured in this year’s budget. Core civil servants are already enjoying 40 per cent peculiar allowances approved for them by Federal Government with effect from January. President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu promised a better deal for all workers under his administration, pledging that they will enjoy a living wage for a decent life. Ngige said: “Since the introduction of CONPSS on January 1, 2007, it has not been reviewed by any of the past administrations but for the consequential minimum wage adjustment of 2019 for all wage structures under this government in 2019. “However, in line with the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerian workers, the Federal Government recently worked out the introduction of a 40 per cent peculiar allowance into the remuneration and emoluments of core federal civil servants and other public servants on the CONPSS to help cushion the effects of inflation and other costs of doing their work as they are not on any special allowances. “This demonstrates the government’s commitment to improving workers’ welfare and conditions of service even without any industrial action but a fallout of social dialogue.” Ngige appealed to Labour to ensure industrial peace and harmony remained your watchwords. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) asked for an extension of the retirement age for civil servants from 60 to 65 years and or 40 years of service. They also urged the Federal Government to expand and strengthen the existing social security framework. Labour insisted that workers and the masses deserve an equitable share of the nation’s resources. President Muhammadu Buhari said aside from approving the new minimum wage, his administration took steps to protect workers from the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. He urged the incoming Tinubu Administration to do better. President Buhari was represented by Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Boss Mustapha. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) called on governments to prioritise social justice. Across the states, outgoing governors highlighted their efforts to improve the lot of workers. Also, their soon-to-be successors pledged better days ahead. In Abuja, the May Day rally was held at the Eagle Square. The theme of this year’s International Workers Day is ‘Workers Rights and Socio-Economic Justice’. Labour lists demands In a joint address, Presidents of the NLC, Joe Ajaero and TUC, Festus Osifo urged the Federal Government to strengthen the social security net to protect workers. They noted that if the government was serious about increasing productivity and making progress, it must ensure that the rights and privileges of workers are not only protected but are granted unfettered access to socioeconomic justice. The labour leaders said: “It is important that we understand that no society can make progress by excluding its major stakeholders – the workers and masses – from having an equitable share of the nation’s resources. “If we are serious about increasing productivity and making progress as a nation, then, we must seek ways of ensuring that the rights and privileges of workers are not only protected but that they are granted unfettered access to socioeconomic justice. “To this end, we suggest deliberate actions by the government to expand and strengthen the nation’s existing Social Security framework. “The Social Investment Programme (SIP) ought to be given legal backing by speeding up the legislative processes towards codifying it in our laws. This will deepen engagement in those areas and provide stronger backing to our quest for socioeconomic justice to all Nigerians.” Labour also urged the Federal Government to begin the process of ratifying Convention 102 of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) on social protection. This, it said, is central to the actualisation of social justice and inclusiveness. It provides appropriate guarantees for workers’ rights to survival during and after work life and also guarantees access to a decent life for many Nigerians. “It is important that Nigerian leaders understand that without guaranteeing the rights of workers, without allowing workers to win, Nigerians and Nigeria will not win. “We are Nigerians; when we win, our nation wins and makes sustainable progress. It is the duty of the government to provide the right environment for this to happen. “Our nation must lead with job-led growth. When jobs grow, income increases and the economy revved higher, but we need to protect those that work in these jobs. “To protect them, we must ensure that the right legal environment is created and frameworks for compliance with laws are established.” NLC seeks review of retirement age NLC called for a review of civil servants’ retirement age to 65. Ajaero said the extension of years of service should go around, as it had been done in other sectors of the public service. “Only a few other establishments, including the core civil service, are now left out. “We are, therefore, demanding that the age of retirement and length of service in the entire public service, including the civil service, be reviewed upward to 65 years of age and 40 years of service,” he said. Civil servants retire at 60 or after serving for 35 years. Ajaero said the union had, over the years, demanded salary review but had yet to receive Federal Government’s attention. President-elect promises living wage Tinubu assured workers of a better deal under his administration. He also promised to be a dependable ally of the nation’s workforce. In a solidarity message he personally signed, he said: “I shall have the honour and privilege to lead from May 29. Workers will have more than a minimum wage. You will have a living wage to have a decent life and provide for your family. “In me, you will find a dependable ally and co-labourer in the fight for social and economic justice for all Nigerians, including all the working people. “Your fight will be my fight because I will always fight for you. My plans for better welfare and working conditions are spelt out in my Renewed Hope Agenda for A Better Nigeria. It is a covenant born of conviction and one I am prepared to keep.” Tinubu stressed that the days ahead will demand better understanding and cooperation from all sides. “Leadership will require that we take tough and hard decisions so that our people and all Nigerian workers can live more abundantly,” he said. The President-elect solicited workers’ support, urging them to join hands with his administration in waging a must-win war against poverty, ignorance, disease, disunity, ethnic and religious hate and all negative forces that contend against the stability and prosperity of the country. Acknowledging the invaluable roles workers have played in nation-building, Tinubu said: “I join the rest of the world and all compatriots to celebrate Nigerian workers on this year’s International Workers’ Day. “Today is a special day in most parts of the world, a day to salute and honour the working people whose hard work and sweat continue to oil the wheel of human progress and advancement.” Buhari: we saved small businesses during COVID 19 President Buhari highlighted his administration’s pro-Labour policies, including bailing out small businesses affected by the pandemic. He said: “Social protection mechanisms both institutionalised and on ad hoc basis were fashioned out, strengthened and implemented at both the national and sub-national levels to cushion the adverse effects of the pandemic, and additionally, bail-out funds were used to aid some small scale businesses to survive.” He urged the incoming administration to continue to respect workers’ rights, create job opportunities and promote dialogue for consensus building and sound national industrial relations. He said: “The government affirms the need for the enthronement of decent work which sums up the aspiration that all people have for their working lives; for work that is productive, delivers a fair income with security and social protection, safeguards basic rights, offers equality of opportunity and treatment, prospects for personal development and the chance for recognition and to have your voice heard. “These elements of decent work concur with our commitment to reduce poverty and forge a path to achieving equitable, inclusive and sustainable development, and ultimately peace and security in communities. “Workers’ rights coupled with socio-economic justice make a happy workplace. We, therefore, agree that a fair economic structure targeted at creating opportunities for all to succeed irrespective of sex, race/ethnicity, age, disability, creed, religion, etc. is sine qua non for progress and development. “I encourage the incoming administration to continue to respect workers’ rights imbued with socio-economic development and driven by the four pillars of the decent work agent to promote jobs and enterprises, guaranteeing rights at work, extending social protection, and promoting social dialogue for consensus building and maintaining a Sound National Industrial Relations System.” Workers deserve to be happy, says Obi Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi, who made an appearance at the rally, said the government must build a country where workers are happy, protected and their welfare guaranteed. He said: “We want a country where workers will stay and they are happy, where their welfare will be protected and they are productive.” SSANU decries withheld salaries President of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Mohammed Ibrahim, urged the Federal Government to pay four months’ salaries of its members withheld during the last strike. Ibrahim, who is NLC’s National Internal Auditor, said: “Despite the hostile environment in which we operate, we remain undeterred in our quest to contribute to the building of a great country. “Our members have continued to report for duty in the most security-challenging parts of Nigeria. It’s a pity that the Federal Government has remained adamant in the payment of withheld four months’ salaries during the nationwide strike in 2022. “Comrades, you are all aware that SSANU complied with all industrial legal protocols before embarking on strike when the government reneged on its part of the bargain. We have made every effort for the government to see the reason why we should be paid our rightful due all to no avail. “We are once again calling on the government to urgently pay the withheld salaries without further delay. The insensitivity of the government to the plight of workers is provocative and unbearable.” He said SSANU would declare a strike if the government fails to implement the 40 per cent pay rise for members. He also said the Federal Government was yet to pay the N50 billion Earned Allowances promised to the union last year. ILO: time to proritise social justice The ILO called on governments to prioritise social justice. Its Director-General, Mr Gilbert Houngbo, said in a statement: “The promises of renewal made during the pandemic, of ‘building back better’, have so far not been delivered for the great majority of workers worldwide. “Globally, real wages have fallen, poverty is rising, and inequality seems more entrenched than ever. “Enterprises have been hard-hit. Many could not cope with the cumulative effects of recent unexpected events. Small and micro-enterprises were particularly affected, and many have ceased operations… “How do we get there? First and foremost, our policies and actions must be human-centred.” According to Houngbo, this means focusing on equality, poverty alleviation and core social protection. https://thenationonlineng.net/pay-rise-coming-for-health-workers-lecturers-others/ 1 Like |
