Abiodun oooo. He is from south west. Probably, he has his brain corrupted by the south south people.
He is probably a bastard.
Yourba descendants don't destroy their hoods unlike some people from backward- North and so called flat- head and chest-beater descendents

I am here to laugh.

Book Haram also disappear with their suppose corpses.

It is not everything about this administration that is bad.
If you are working for FG, I think you should Ne ready to be posted anywhere in Nigeria, most especially when you are an armed personnel.

NOT fewer than 1,260 policemen from the six South West states of the country recently transferred to Northern states, especially the North East, where Boko Haram insurgency was rampant, have complained bitterly against what they termed ‘lopsided transfer that attracts no incentives.

According to a signal by AIG Abdul Bude from Force Headquarters, Abuja, dated December 24, 2016 with reference No CB 4770/FS/FHQ/ABJ/Vol. 5/232, the affected policemen have been mandated to assemble in Kaduna on January 4, 2017.


Though, they said as security agents, their primary duty is to protect lives and property, they are not comfortable with the way the transfer which dates back to 1997 is being handled.

An impeccable source told Vanguard that the transfer carried out in 1997, 2003 and 2015 had recorded heavy casualties among the policemen from the South West due to inadequate facilities.

They are principally unhappy because they are allegedly not treated equally with their Northern counterparts.

One of the affected policemen who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of victimisation said their northern colleagues who are equally transferred at the same time are treated as sacred cows because despite disobeying the police authorities, by shunning the transfer, still get to collect their salaries.

According to one of them: ‘’Lives of several policemen from the South West that were transferred in the past had been wasted by the insurgents.’’

Other grievances of the aggrieved policemen include non-provision of vehicles to convey them to their new stations; non-provision of accommodation and other welfare packages, language barrier and non-familiarity with the northern terrain.

He said; “Since they started the transfer, lives of several policemen of South West extraction have been wasted because when they transfer them, the authority would not provide necessary facilities such as money, accommodation which make them prone to attacks by the insurgents.

“We are not happy at all. This transfer was earlier stopped by the National Assembly and a powerful politician from the South West in 2015. It is the same policemen that are being transferred now. We knew this because their transfer letters bore their former ranks under the former Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase.”

With the transfer, he said the police authorities ran foul of an earlier document which states that no policeman should be transferred outside his zone of origin.

With this , Nigerians should be expecting 20,00W of electricity. Smh.
There is no sign of serious on the part of this administration.

The Federal Government has allocated over N69.96 billion to the power sector in the 2017 budget proposal.

The agencies under the Ministry of Power, to which have been allocated the amount, include the National Rural Electricity Agency, NREA; National Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC; National Electricity Management Services Agency, NEMSA; National Power Training Institute, NAPTI; National Electricity Liability Management Limited, NELMCO; Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and National Bulk Electricity Trading, NBET.

The breakdown of the proposed 2017 Federal Government budget showed that the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, got the lion share of N40.2 billion, followed by the National Rural Electricity Agency with N16.137 billion.

NERC was allocated N2 billion; NEMSA, N2.837 billion; NAPTI, N2.465 billion; NELMCO, N2. 718 billion and NBET, N3,595 billion.

Of this figure, while a total of N15.307 of NREA’s allocation goes for capital projects, N830.454 million will be for recurrent.

Overhead was allocated N 92. 027 million, while N 738. 427 million was earmarked for personnel.

TCN’s entire allocation of N40.2 billion would go into capital projects. However, no budgetary provisions for personnel and overhead were made, ostensibly as the company is expected to get paid by consumers.

NAPTI’s N2.55 billion allocation consists of N1.5 billion for capital projects; N822.055 million for personnel; and N133.180 million for overhead.

NEMSA’s personnel budget for the coming year stood at N1.129 billion; overhead, 207.241 million; and capital, N1.5 billion.

Out of NELMCO’s N2. 718 billion budget, N2.5 billion was allocated to capital; personnel, N168. 065 million; while overhead got N50.573 million.

The construction of a 215 MW LPFO/Gas Plant was earmarked N5 billion. The location of the project was, however, not indicated in the budget, as presented to the National Assembly.

The Zungeru 700 MW project in Niger State was allocated N1.360 billion.The provision of infrastructure for the same plant was allocated a separate N373.6 million; while the 3,050 MW Mambilla Hydropower project will receive N950 million.

According to the budget, the construction of the 10MW Wind Farm in Kastina would take N904, 546 million.

Where are these suspects?

The Nigerian Army yesterday said it had recovered Abubakar Shekau’s Qur’an and flag in Camp Zero, the Boko Haram Headquarters in Sambisa forest.


Shakau’s flag and Quaran recovered by Nigerian soldiers (NAN)
The Army also said it arrested about 1,240 suspected Boko Haram terrorists during a mop-up operation by troops inside the Sambisa forest.

This is even as Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, who represented Imo North senatorial district between 1999 and 2003, described the fall of Sambisa forest to Nigerian troops in the North East as a fulfillment of President Muhammadu Buhari’s electoral promise.

Maj.-Gen. Lucky Irabor, the Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, disclosed this while giving newsmen updates on “Operation Rescue Final” in Maiduguri.

“We believe that the Holy Book and the flag were abandoned by Abubakar Shekau while he escaped.

“The Book will be taken to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Burutai, for onward presentation to Mr President.

“We have also made a lot of arrests. Our troops in Damboa arrested about 15 Boko Haram members. We also arrested one Musa from Potiskum on Christmas day which was Dec.25.

“On Dec. 26 our troops also intercepted two Boko Haram suspects in Maiduguri.

“We, therefore, warn residents of the state to be wary of people coming to hide in and around their houses.

“We are also warning residents to report any suspected Boko Haram members hiding in their houses to relevant security agencies. Any failure to do that would be tantamount to supporting and sympathising with the sect’s activities,” Irabor said.

The Army said it arrested about 1,240 suspected Boko Haram terrorists during a mop-up operation by troops inside the Sambisa forest.

Maj.-Gen. Irabor, who also disclosed this, said 413 of the suspects were adults; 323, female adults; 251, male children; and 253 female children.

He said the suspects were apprehended during a mop-up operation against the sect members in the forest.

“We are interrogating them to know whether they are Boko Haram members, because there is no way somebody that is not their member would live inside Sambisa forest.

“We are still on the trail of the terrorists and I want to assure you that all escape routes have been blocked. Within this period, also, about 30 fleeing suspected Boko Haram members have surrendered to the Niger Multinational Troops on the shores of the lake Chad and we learnt that they were taken to Difa in Niger Republic.

“The suspects include; 24 male and six females.

“We would like to use this opportunity to encourage the terrorists to give up the fight because the window is still open,” the commander said.

Meanwhile, Senator Ifeanyi Araraume has described the fall of Sambisa Forest to the hands of fighting Nigerian troops in the North East as a fulfillment of President Muhammadu Buhari’s electoral promise.

He expressed optimism that the country’s ailing economy would bounce back fully in no distant time, following the defeat of Boko Haram and subsequent take over of Sambisa forest by the military.

Araraume, now a chieftain of ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, described the liberation of Sambisa forest as a landmark achievement for Buhari’s administration, insisting that the development would propel economic recovery in the short run.

The former lawmaker said in a statement yesterday: ‘“President Muhammadu Buhari has accomplished a major electoral promise to defeat Boko Haram and enforce national security.”

Araraume, who is also commissioner at the National Communications Commission, said: “The take over of Sambisa forest is a symbolism of a new dawn in the security sector, which will now prepare ground for economic recovery. Enhanced security will create enabling ground for flourishing of economic activities.

“Booming economic activities will result in new jobs and controlled inflation. Pain of recession will be gradually eased off and Nigerians will bountifully reap dividends of democracy.
“I call on Nigerians to support the Federal Government as it now focuses on economic recovery after it has crippled and wiped out that devastating insurgency. A Buhari who delivers on security promises will also deliver on economic recovery.”

This is how police suppose to work in a sane society. You nip the bud in the head.

Sooo

Buhari recently promises the workers that FG will review the workers salary.

INDICATIONS have emerged that the clamour for upward review of new national minimum wage by organized labour, may be long in coming, as there is no provision for it in the Federal Government budget proposal now before the National Assembly.

Organised labour had since May 2016, sent a proposal for a N52, 000 monthly National Minimum Wage, NMW, to the government .


President Muhammadu Buhari presenting the 2017 Budget before a joint session of the National Assembly on Wednesday, December 14, 2016.
Reacting to the development, National Union of Textile, Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria, NUTGTWN, through its President and General Secretary, John Adaji and Issa Aremu, respectively, said the non provision for new minimum wage was a critical missing link in the 2017 budget proposal.

While applauding the over N7 trillion 2017 Federal Government budget focusing on reflating the economy through import substitution and patronage of made in Nigeria goods, the union called for immediate constitution of a tripartite committee by government to agree on a new minimum wage, after which a supplementary budget should be sent to the National Assembly for its implementation.

Buhari is only living up to his "95% and 5%" theory of governing the nation.
If Buhari is not crying in his mind for this man to have been the most senior jugde at the Nigerian Supreme Court at this time, he ought to have sent his name to Nigerian Senate for confirmation.

I will sit here

Ijesha !!! So, you are tell me that there is nobody speaking Yoruba in Edo state.

Okay oo.O say

Next Bus Stop of Nigerian Army is Nigeria's south west.
Army will come with " Operation Hippopotamus Fly"

I am sorry to say, it seems as if President BUHARI is an "ECONOMY TERRORIST" to Nigeria and Nigerians.
Can you imagine, 1.7 millions lost their legitimate jobs in just nine months and not to talk about those that lost their jobs between June - December, 2015.
At the moment, President BUHARI is they greatest threat against our survival and sovereignty as a nation.
It seems that Buhari administration is cursed.

Monumental budget padding looming in Nigeria. Imagine over #7 trillions budget almost times two of Jonathan yearly budget, and you do not want national assembly members to have their own portion.
Come January, 2107, Saraki and Dogara (both with knives in their hands) will lead members of their respective chambers, to your their own cut of the national cake.

NAFDAC will be moving from one shop to another.


NAFDAC: Who is the owner of this shop?
PEOPLE: Iya Bashira
NAFDAC: Why did she run away and closed her shop when she was aware that we will be coming to inspect her shop so see if it contains imported juice? She is perverting the course of justice. She will be prosecuted for closing her shop today.
PEOPLE: It is not so sirs. Her son fell sick and she had to take him to UCH for treatment.
NAFDAC: Sergeant Pafu, are you with your sledge hammers? If you are not, quickly radio the DSS/SSS to come with their own but they should come with the hammers that bigger than those they used to break into supreme judges.
SERGEANT PAFU: All the sledge-hammers, chisel, hack-saw among others dey here sir.
NAFDAC: Then you and others officers should begin the work. Break down this shop, we must see what the owner has inside. It is because we cannot proceed to the next shop until we have examine this shop.
"Tell the so called "Iya Bashira" that she will pay #200,000 to Internal Generated Revenue for wasting the time of FG officials"



On a more serious note, Nigeria content must be protected at all cost. This will lead to more employment. But I think in this case, more discouragement should be done at the country's entry point

Following the Federal Government ban of imported fruit juice into the country, the National Agencyfor Food and Drug Administration, NAFDAC, has begun mop-up of all imported fruit juices nationwide.

Addressing journalists shortly after the raid which took place in various markets in Lagos by the enforcement team of NAFDAC, Deputy Director, Investigation & Enforcement Directorate, Mr. Francis Ononiwu decried the influx of imported fruit juices in the country, blaming it on the absence of the Agency’s staff at the ports.

According to him, the Federal Government as a matter of urgency should reconsider bringing NAFDAC back to the ports in order to drastically reduce fake, counterfeit and imported banned products into the country.

“We are all aware that most of these products come through the sea ports and NAFDAC is not on ground there, definitely, we cannot effectively stop the products from entering. That is a major challenge. If we are there the quantity will be much more reduced or eliminated. Federal government should reconsider taking NAFDAC back to the ports”

Ononiwu explained that the mop –up exercise is ongoing nationwide, not only to meet the deadline for the exercise but also to create an enabling environment for local manufacturers of fruit juices in the country.

“These imported products are not registered by NAFDAC; they are unwholesome and fake and have been banned by the Federal Government. We don’t expect to see imported fruit juices in our markets today because we have enough fruit juice manufactured and produced here.


RAID: NAFDAC officials mopping up imported fruit juice from De Prince Supermarket, Agbada area of Lagos last week.
We are also trying to protect our local industry as well as encouraged them to utilise our farm produces thereby boosting our economy.”

Warning consumers against such products, he said since they were not produced under supervised Good Manufacturing Practice, they are harmful to the health of consumers.

Ononiwu hinted that those arrested would be punished in line with the appropriate sanctions stipulated in the Agency’s regulations.

Speaking during the exercise at Gbagada area of Lagos, Team Leader also from the Investigation and Enforcement Directorate, Mr. Carolly Ngobiri, said the exercise was in line with a circular of Dec. 19 from the Directorate, directing that an urgent visit to all markets and supermarkets in all states, be embarked upon, to mop-up these items.

“We are here to carry out one of NAFDAC’s mandate; to make sure that that all foreign juices are removed from the market. We have given them a deadline from now to Dec. 31 to stop their sales and remove them from the shelves.

“But in order to ensure that these are totally removed, we have started mopping up all the juices all over the country. “By Dec. 31, we do not want to see any imported juice in Nigeria.

“At these places that we have gone to carry out our assignment, we have taken the items, documented them and invited the owners to come to our office for further interrogation.

The NAFDAC official advised all consumers to check all the date markings of which include the production and expiry dates, as well as NAFDAC registration number of each of the products, before purchase.

More than 50,000 people had to be evacuated from a city in south Germany on Christmas Day after a 1.8-ton World War II bomb was found there.

The bomb was discovered last week in Augsburg, during construction work on an underground car park.
An evacuation area more than a mile (1.5 kilometers) in radius was announced for December 25, including 32,000 households and around 54,000 inhabitants.
Residents were told to be out of their homes by 10 a.m. at the latest, and evacuation centers were set up in local schools and gymnasiums.

Just after 7 p.m., the city's official Facebook account announced the bomb had been successfully defused and the evacuation was over.

Rocket science? I think that was for Fashola, the rocket scientist.
