The low thinkers that want to blame GEJ should look at how his administration kept the NGN stable even as the oil prices dove.
That is what good goverance is about. Not once sis GEJ blame anyone or anything he just worked hard to make this country flow.
Change you shouted for is here, you should have been more specfic, cause the change is as negative as they come.

Stop making flimsy, lazy excuse for the incompetence and CORRUPTION by the party that brought Buhari into power on March 28 that is fully in control of the two chambers of NASS.
Did the party not promise to fight corruption and promote transparency?
Is this the way to deliver on those promises?
Is this the way

Lucky Bastard

He'll probably did Law School in ABJ.
He'll do NYSC in Lagos or Abuja or wherever dafuq he likes!
Then, before the service year is over, he would have processed his LL.M admission to one of the top 10 law schools in the world.

After his Masters, he'll be smuggled into Ministry of Justice or Legal Dept of NNPC or NIMASA. He'll have a nice car and bachelor crib in Maitama/Asokoro and a lot of hens will be on his matter. If he likes, he play around with them before settling down with another British educated girl from a Royal family in the SouthWest.

If he likes, he may run for office and win (like Lai Mohammed's son)
or if he is an intellectual, he'll open his own firm. He may end up like Mr Osinbajo who had 'humble beginings' from Corona School
All his children will be born in Canada or the US, giving them a ticket to the world. They'll lack nothing and the cycle will continue.

No credible source yet. But if it turns out to be true, I hope the flat heads won't enter the streets again in the name of protests.

I wonder where these present day journalists were nurtured. Their publications are always riddled with irregularities. Even with my little mathematical knowledge I deduced:
For the Prado Jeeps
75% of N18,250,000 is N13,687,500 making its total cost N31,937,500 as opposed to the N37,412,500 above.

For the Benz factoring in the 75% of the initial cost of N23,912,500 will make final cost N41,846,875 opposed to the quoted N49,020,625

Toyota Hilux SS will be N21,940,625 not N25,601,875

Something haas to be done about these copy paste Journalists.

(1) ok i understand you very well,
am sure for the bank to have gone ahead to pay, the value on the
cheque does not necessarily have to be the same as the value on the salary schedule,
it will only cover a stated amount so that there`ll be enough money in the account so that the bank
will be able to pay

(2) for example...
if the amount on the salary schedule is 1 million Naira
and probably there is only 200,000 in the company`s account.
all you need to do is to write a cheque and make the bank the beneficiary so as to fund the account
"Pay ABC Bank Plc" the sum of 1.5 Million Naira
just to add up with what you have in the account so that the schedule can fly.

and not necessarily the same value on the salary schedule.


because of the relationship the bank may have with a company, most times
the bank can act with just a soft copy, while hard copy may likely be for formality sake or filing purpose.

Melahou:
Bros i also prepare salary schedule, in most banks a cheque does not need to accompany a schedule
It could be in this format. "Kindly debit our account with the tune of...

And also in terms of verifying,
Such document is an instruction whether it's writing may 2015 or June 2014 on it.

Some companies still pay outstanding while current month will still be on pending

The bank only complied with the instruction to debit and pay

The Last Time Buhari Entered Church as when he was campaigning

The above action simply shows how UNCULTURED your Tinubu idol is.
The OLD building is part of Fajuyi LEGACY. If anyone wanted to do anything meaningful it would be to RESTORE the house to the exact state it was when Fajuyi was alive and organise TOURS for school children as part of practical HISTORY lessons, making the house a MINI museum for other (paying?) visitors. That way our SENSE of history, legacy and Fajuyi's contribution thereto is REINFORCED for posterity.

In short, your Tinubu made sure (un)wittingly that Fajuyi's name DIED further by that singular act while his own JagbaJantis name increased in prominence.
Get it

If you don't get it, please reflect on the historical, curiosity VALUE and attraction of the car & palace below.
Cheers.



Below are more pictures to enable you better UNDERSTAND the point I am making.

Hmm na waooo.I just hope Tinubu is not somehow linked to his death.The whole thing looks so how fishy to me.Putting Faleke on the seat would lead to ethnic backlash in the state.The only way to stop it will be if all the igala voters in Dekina come out to vote during the re-run

Abagworo:
So Igala has been ruling Kogi since 1999? I like fairness and hope APC and PDP field only Egbira or Okun candidate in 2019 for justice and equity.

I had the same thought as you, but when I went back and zoomed on the pix, I saw that the notice was dated today too, 3rd. I think that is unfair to the students.

‎The board of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has resolved to pay its seven members a total sum of N2.7 billion as severance and gratuity before their five-year- tenure ends in December.
The tenure of the board, which started on December 22, 2010, ends December 22, 2015. The board is headed by Dr Sam Amadi, who is also the chairman of the commission that regulates the electricity industry.
The chairman is to receive N400 million while the rest of the six commissioners are to go home with N380 million each, making a total of N2.7billion, a source told Daily Trust.
The sum includes an upfront salary of two years in which they are not allowed ‎to work in the power sector after leaving office. The costs of their official cars, telephone and electricity rebate allowances, among others, are computed into the sum tagged severance and gratuity.
The board members said their predecessors were also paid, but another source from the commission faulted the argument.
“The Electricity Act in section 36:2 bars the commissioners from working in the sector for two years starting from when they exited. It’s a standard practice even in other industries to avoid insider information abuse. They can work elsewhere anyway.
“There is no provision for them to be paid for those two years. What they are planning now is a fraud. Also, in section 42:18 of the Act, the commissioners and staff of the commission are to be paid salaries as recommended by the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission.
“To the best of my knowledge, there have been no recommendations from the wages commission since 2010 when this board was instituted but there have been increase in their pay,” a source told Daily Trust.
Chairman of the commission, Dr Sam Amadi, told Daily Trust last night that it was incorrect to say the commissioners were not entitled to severance and gratuity.
‎He said the board was relying on Nigerian pension laws which provide for severance package for all workers in Nigeria.
Though he declined to confirm the specific amount for the seven commissioners, he said it was based on the specific position of the individual staff, the commissioners inclusive.
“We did not do anything outside of what the former commissioners approved. They approved severance package for themselves. It is not true that it’s not provided in the Act. It is a compensation for the two years the commissioners are barred from working in the sector,” he said, adding that other regulatory agencies also had such packages for their political appointees including the Security and Exchange Commission, National Communication Commission, NNPC and Central Bank of Nigeria.
Amadi said the board had not sought for the recommendation of the wages commission but that NERC was empowered with the liberty to ‎take the opinion of the wages’ commission or leave it.
However, Daily Trust gathered that the sacked NERC board led by Ransome Owan was never paid gratuities but “salaries of one year and 11 months when they were in court and out of office”.
The board had spent three out of its supposed five years when it was sacked over allegation of corruption. An administrator was appointed to head the commission for the period, a position not known to the law setting it up.
“As the fraud case dragged long in court, the federal government through the office of Attorney General of the Federation negotiated an out-of-court settlement to enable it reconstitute the board. Part of that negotiation was to pay the sacked board members their salaries for the period they were out of office which amounted to N190 million each. This is different from what they are planning now,” Daily Trust was told.
Package already with PFA
“The commissioners have already benefitted three vehicles each in the past five years. They inherited the cars left behind by the last board. In a matter of months, they claimed the cars, citing depreciation and acquired new ones. In the gratuity and pension computed for the soon to exit commissioners, brand new SUVs are included among other sundry allowances,” a source said.
In June, 2015, one of the commissioners, Mr Eyo Ekpo, resigned his appointment citing loss of confidence and focus by the commission’s leadership.
A source with knowledge of the board’s resolve to pay its members the jumbo severance said the money had been warehoused with a pension fund administrator waiting to receive instruction for prompt payment.
“The board is said to be mounting pressure for Mr Ekpo’s portion of the money to be paid, apparently to pave way for smooth payment of other members own,” he said.
Daily Trust could not confirm if the movement of the money was done after President Muhammadu Buhari ordered government ministries and agencies to implement the Treasury Single Account (TSA).
Paving way for cronies
The commissioners are also plotting to have their personal assistants who came with them on appointment to be given permanent job status at top levels beyond their qualification, Daily Trust investigations further shows.
Some of the assistants are relations and cronies of the commissioners, a source told Daily Trust. The development is causing disquiet among staff of the commission and other industry operators.
The commission advertised for vacancies into 64 positions in 2013 and conducted aptitude tests nationwide, spending millions of naira to hire a job consultancy firm Restral Limited.
The successful candidates were not given jobs, but Daily Trust gathered that the seven commissioners are now “bent on foisting their people on the commission which is currently in poor financial situation”.
“Their plan is to leave behind their aides to be ratified as permanent staff in the commission in case they are not reappointed by President Muhammadu Buhari,” a source said.
A commissioner’s younger sister who had been in school was brought in few months ago primed for one of the jobs, a source alleged, adding that some did not partake in the aptitude tests while others reportedly failed but are on the line to be employed.
Amadi however faulted the ‎claim, saying “It’s an internal vacancy announcement. The center for management development is to conduct the exams . No law says one’s sister or brother should not be in the commission. The past commissioners gave automatic permanent jobs to their aides but here, we are going through a due process.”

Eluwilussit:
Please read the post one more time. Almost all the ex leaders selected inec chairmen from other regions. When northerners are there, they usually select Southerners. Jona selected a northerner. PMB should have selected a southerner. Fair play.

You have more southerners as chairmen simply because the northerners were c-in-c then. It is a very simple logic. That notwithstanding, I think we have to trust PMB. We gave him our mandate because we trust him. Let's keep the trust up.

If after 21 days after the submission of the list of ministerial nominees, the Senate fails to takes steps to confirm the any of the nominees, such nominee stands confirmed. That's what the constitution stipulates. They can keep on wasting time for all I care.
