PoliticsRe: On President Buhari’s Latest Appointment By Muhammad Malumfashi by Ambcharles(m): 2:36pm On Aug 28, 2015
Sparonani:
It’s no longer a breaking news that President Buhari
has appointed the Chief of Staff, Secretary to the
government of the federation, Immigration and
Custom bosses, Advisers on National assemblies.
Some might argue that appointing a chief of staff and
secretary of the government after almost 90 days is too late. But One thing for sure; Baba slowly,
carefully selected these men, and if there should be
anything you can accuse them of is their tribe may
be. Not even Paul ‘The world cup octopus’ could have
predict such appointments, no one saw that coming.
One good thing about the appointments is that the wailers are now crying NORTHERNISATION agenda,
not that Islamisation rubbish again. With about 5000
appointments to make.. they’ll soon understand that
it’s only a Nigerianisation thing, based on
competency. The only thing the men lack is.. not
integrity, not the requisite, not the competency. But that they aren’t from the South. It’s true that Buhari is predictably Unpredictable. After
all the Rotimi Amaechi, Mama Oby, Ogbonoya Onu,
Raji Fashola, Hameed Ali as SGF or Chief of staff
rumours, PMB went for Engr. Babachir David Lawal
as the Secretary to the Govt. Of the federation.
Those crying that this man is a northerner won’t tell you that he’s also a Northern Pastor. Exactly the kind
of people we need, to trust. Engr. Babachir is from
Adamawa state. Abba Kyari is the new Chief of staff, his CV is even
more impressive. Holds 2 degrees in law from
Cambridge and another one in Sociology. Described
as a sociologist, lawyer, banker, editor.. and also a
former commissioner, former director Unilever, once a
member Presidential Advisory council 2000-05, Director ExxonMobil. Very good one, from Borno
state. Just like Monguno, Buratai and others.. he
won’t throw dollars to his Borno state people but he’ll
do his job. Effectively, I heard. Buhari’s chief of staff before he became president.
Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd). This man is as Buhari,
(I mean tough) as Buhari. A retired Colonel. Former
military administrator, Kaduna State. He missed out
on the EFCC and the chief of staff job, just as re-
speculated again 2 days ago. But it’s because Baba had some other plans for the Nigerian custom
service. With 2 degrees in Criminology, a due
process man and his no nonsense stance he’ll tackle
the issue of custom duties, illegal importation and
waivers, smuggling, land piracy, and other border-
related crimes. If custom service can meet the new N35b weekly target, then in a year custom alone will
generate over N1.8 tr. Not to talk of FIRS and NNPC
which all are under competent hands. To show that
President Buhari isn’t joking with our revenue
generating institutions. I don’t know if a retired army
has ever done it before. But it’ll be nice to see Mr. Netanyahu in a custom uniform. For sure he’ll clear
the mess in the Nigerian custom service. Not only
that the borders will be safe, but the revenue also will
be. He is also from North east, just like the other 2
men above, Bauchi state. Mr. Martin Kure Abashi, another northerner. After his
former boss was suspended last week, Mr. David
Paradang. He took over as Ag. Comptroller, as he
was the most senior officer. How a terrorist got a
Nigerian VISA, illegal recruitment, Stampede in the
name of massive recruitment .. he must have learnt a lot from Mr. Parradang’s suspension, adding that
even his (Paradang) state governor couldn’t save
him. Unlike Ali Hamid, Martin Kure is an insider, he
joined the immigration service over 25 years ago. He
holds a masters in public administration, hails from
Nasarawa state. Hon. Kawu A. Sulaiman appointed SSA to the
President on National Assembly (House of reps). A
former member of the House of reps, Represented his
Sumaila/Takai zone. He was a 2-time deputy minority
leader of the house. Some have complained that we
are now having 2 advisers on national assembly matters, not really the change they wanted. I know
he’s the kind of man PMB can trust. Kawu is from
Kano. Sen. Ita S.J Enang is the new SSA on NA (Senate).
A Lawyer turned lawmaker, Enang who like Hon.
Kawu is a former member house of reps, he was
elected to the federal house of Representatives in
1999, later elected to the upper chamber in 2011 to
represent Akwa Ibom North-East. The surprise isn’t that he’s the only southerner in the list but that’s he’s
a PDP member. Even when there are former
Senators like Sen. Chris Ngige in that zone but
President Buhari belongs to everybody… and belongs
to nobody. One of the reasons some President(s) of the past
failed wasn’t (only) because of their failure to
represent everyone. But rather, they surround
themselves with people from every part of the county
with qualities in common; ‘corrupt’ & ‘Incompetent’
fellows who don’t have the qualities at all to make things better and a boss ready to defend them at
anytime and no matter what. But we believe things
have now #changed. Even the APC family are as
confused as the one writing this. At the end of your
tenure Nigerians won’t ask you ‘how many of brothers
have you appointed?’, but ‘what have you done for our brothers?’ #MarchOnBaba!
PoliticsRe: PMB Achievement So Far (100 Days) by Ambcharles(m): 5:52pm On Aug 27, 2015
What can we say? I wanted change but I never wanted buhari. If can be true to ourselves you'll know that we nigerians deserved better. Its obvious we made a mistake. When you see a determined government you'll know. Check your date 27/8/2015 and our time continues tick. Which other business is more important than governance?

EducationAn Insight Into Studying Abroad: A Nigerian Perspective by Ambcharles(op): 3:37pm On Aug 26, 2015
An Insight Into Studying Abroad: A Nigerian Perspective - chris emetole

Travelling abroad to study is a global practice that dates back to several centuries till this day and happens in nearly every parts of the world, including in developed and developing countries. Knowledge is universal hence the pursuit of it is also universal. Those who go abroad in pursuit of knowledge or are studying outside their country of origin or nationality are usually considered as international students.

As expected, Africans and indeed Nigerians are not left out of this pursuit of universal knowledge. With a population over 160 million and the largest economy in Africa, Nigeria accounts for the highest number of international students from Africa travelling abroad for studies and ranks in the top five countries in the world alongside countries like China, India, Taiwan and Singapore.

In spite of recent efforts to revamp the education sector in Nigeria, access to quality education remains a challenge. For example, there are nearly 1.7 million secondary school students seeking a place at university each year via JAMB/UTME, but the country’s education system can accommodate only about half a million students. These factors have contributed to a rapid increase in the number of students and families seeking study options abroad resulting in 71% increase in the number of international students from Nigerian in overseas institutions between 2007 and 2014.

This growth is expected to continue and Nigeria is poised to be one of the most significant growth markets in international education in the decade ahead. Nigeria is projected to lead the world in tertiary-age population growth through 2024. The country’s population of 18-to-22 year-olds is forecast to grow from 16.1 million in 2013 to 22.5 million by 2024. In other words, there will even be more Nigerians travelling abroad for studies in the years to come.

InvestmentEffects Of Cashless Policy On Average Nigerians by Ambcharles(op): 9:33am On Aug 22, 2015
EFFECTS OF CASHLESS POLICY ON THE AVERAGE NIGERIAN- favour uzoaru
INTRODUCTION

The Central Bank of Nigeria has introduced a cashless policy to reduce the use of cash in the country's economy which will brutally change some cultures and ways of life

Very soon many Nigerians will no longer stuff their wallets and bloat their plastic bags with cash to town or market for businesses. Very soon armed robbers in the most populous country in Africa will no longer be able to make off with thousands and millions of Naira from their victims.

The bandits will instead find plastic cards with a magnetic strip deep down in the stolen handbags and suitcases. And they may be frustrated for not being able to use the cards.

This appears to be the new trend of life many Nigerians will be learning to live in the very near future after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently announced it would transform the economy to a cashless one to reduce the amount of cash circulating in the country.

Many Nigerians are yet to set their eyes on or own a payment card to operate in the new electronic payment systems, however, authorities and financial institutions are confident that aggressive enlightenment campaigns will be able to change that culture.

In Nigeria, having or holding liquid cash is not only meant for purchases or payments. It yields a sense of security against uncertainties, like emergency health issues at odd hours, stumbling on a quick, cool business deal and prestige. How much can you donate or "spray" during social functions such as engagements, weddings, important birthdays, chieftaincy title ceremonies and funerals? These occasions are used to showcase not only the richness of their culture, but wealth and generosity.

The cashless environment will certainly change behaviours and present a whole new way of life to many Nigerians but it will serve them right in the long run.
Some of the benefits of the cashless policy:

1) Electronic payments will help businesspeople grow their customer base and resource pool, far beyond the limitations of their immediate geographic area.

2) Using a payment card gives convenience and security than making cash withdrawal and moving to where to make purchase.

3) It will drive the development and modernisation of the Nigerian payment system, promote transparency and accountability, reduce transaction costs and decrease the size of the gray or informal economy.

4) It will reduce pickpocketing and highway robbery which are rampant in Nigeria, where robbers are aware that travellers pack thousands and millions of Naira in their bags for their journeys.

5) It will help users control reckless spending and improve personal accountability.

Visa and MasterCard in Nigeria say there are determined to accompany the CBN, the financial sector, consumers and businesses in making the cashless initiative a success.

In a communiqué released in Nigeria's largest city Lagos last week, MasterCard said it would help Nigerian banks and retailers reinforce their capacities to facilitate the reduction of cash within their payment systems by offering innovative, safe and convenient payment alternatives to their customers.

Visa announced last weekend that it had surpassed the five million cards milestone in Nigeria, as it continues to ramp up local in-market presence to support growth in the country and the push towards electronic payments.

"Banks have continued to roll out more innovative electronic payment platforms to meet customers' expectations. Currently, banks have deployed about 100,000 PoS terminals and before the end of the year, if things go as planned, about 150,000 PoS terminals will have been deployed in Lagos alone," says Chidi Umeano, head of Shared Services at CBN.

The above are signs that Nigeria is about to experience a new era in its economic life but it has to blend in with the financial cultures of the people to stay and strive.
