concerning the 500 000 teachers

let me say each teacher wll receive N50 000 a month

N50 000 × 12 months (1 year) = N600 000

N600 000 × 500 000 (teachers) = N300 000 000 000

am I the only one who believe that this project is as unrealistic as the N5000 promised to the unemployed youths

1. The inclusion of Nigeria as a member of the Islamic Military Alliance led by Saudi Arabia... shadowed by Mr. President's birthday

2. The investigative panel promised by PMB to look into the Lebanese ISIS Leader caught at Beirut airport on his way to Nigeria

3. The recent extrajudicial killings of the members of the Shiite sect on their routine procession and the massacre of peaceful Biafran agitators who were protesting for the release of Nnamdi Kanu

4. Fellow Nigerians, how far with the Remita Case?

5. Dasukigate.. ever since he squealed baba's name, everything quiet.

6. Bayelsa Elections

7. N4.7bn conjured up from the empty treasury for the senators to lavish on cars

8. The social media gag bill

You condemned all that. Why do exactly the same things you branded haram? The watchdog analogy actually suits you because you condemned every of such gatherings only to embrace it immediately after elections. Hypocrisy.

Someone said on twitter that you will never know what someone really is until he gets what he wants and I agree with him

Nigerians should resist any plan by the Buhari administration to control the media. I have no idea why all these meetings with bloggers, and now social media change agents.

What are they afraid of?.

We Will Employ 500,000 Teachers In 2016


https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CBDwbdOWQAAArBJ.jpg


In order to address the chronic shortage of teachers in public schools across the country, the Federal Government has said it will in 2016 employ about 500, 000 teachers.

“We also will partner with State and Local Governments to recruit, train and deploy 500,000 unemployed graduates and NCE holders. These graduate teachers will be deployed to primary schools, thereby, enhancing the provision of basic education especially in our rural areas,” President Muhammadu Buhari said on Tuesday while addressing a joint session of the National Assembly on the occasion of 2016 budget presentation.

According to him, the 2016 budget, if passed, will ensure the revival of the economy, deliver inclusive growth to Nigerians and create a significant number of jobs.

He said: “We aim to ensure macroeconomic stability by achieving a real GDP growth rate of 4.37% and managing inflation. To achieve this, we will ensure the aligning of fiscal, monetary, trade and industrial policies.

“As we focus on inclusive growth, we are conscious of the current rate of unemployment and underemployment. This is a challenge we are determined to meet; and this budget is the platform for putting more Nigerians to work.

“I can assure you that this administration will have a job creation focus in every aspect of the execution of this budget. Nigeria’s job creation drive will be private sector led. We will encourage this by a reduction in tax rates for smaller businesses as well as subsidized funding for priority sectors such as agriculture and solid minerals.”

IzonOwei:
The fact is the government needs to protect indigenous production of rice..why do I say so..The various cabals that have ensured that rice farming doesn't see the light of day and that importation and sales of rice at exorbitant amounts remains status quo would stop at nothing to kill the plans of others who choose to feed our nation ...nigeria is such a complicated country reason why I say states should be on there own and focus on what they can do to propel nigeria agriculturally and industrially..

Right in bayelsa peremabiri once had the largest rice farm in West Africa. .how that hub of rice farming ended up defunct is amazing...

We need policies that will help us grow indigenously. .

Good! I hope d loan extends to the farmers in ebonyi. I saw their "rice hill" sometime last month n was astonished!

The news about this lost lady has been a subject of concern for ifelaw students as she claimed to be part of us but all evidence shows she's not near.
Like I said yesterday, our concern was only that a Nigerian was lost and needed to be found rather than a law student.
She called the family yesterday night and to be frank with you, they were not able to disclose their discussion which was of less concern to us as well.
She has been found and below are some evidence to this effect.
I salute the effort of the entirety of the law students for the love and concern in the search.
Thanks.

Fashola should not inflate contract price as he did in Lagos.

So you want Fashola to turn the whole of Lagos State to Dubai

Besides do you know the picture of Lagos State before Fashola administration?

The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer.

The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles.

Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them.

"Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life."

Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern.

"We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos."

Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola
JANUARY 9, 2013

The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).

He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the lrail project immediately.

The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.

Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.

The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion

He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.

How We Spent N160bn World Bank Loan on Light Rail Project

He, therefore, explained that the state government already “has in place, strategies to repay the loan. The federal government was in the know of the state’s decision to take the bond and it approved it.”

He added that the truth “is that what they do not also say is that no state in Nigeria can borrow money outside, from any multilateral agencies without the approval of the federal government.

“What they did not say is that they approved it. No state can raise money by bond the way we have done without the federal government’s approval. Both SEC and NSE are all federal regulatory agencies through which we must pass. If they said okay, it means there must be something good about the debt.

When is the light rail going to be delivered, the project seems to be going on for years?

I just said it, it’s being funded by Lagos State and the Federal Government support is not there. But I believe strongly that we will create a financial restructuring that will allow us to deliver that light rail within the next 18 months.

funkyibodude:
During her service year the guy proposed to her and she accepted. So they both went for family introduction. Few months after her introduction, her father called her and told her that she should come home that there's something urgent he wants to tell her. When she traveled back home, her dad told her that the have done some investigation into the guy's Family and the discovered that the guy is an OSU ( meaning outcast in Igbo land) and their village still practice the osu caste system. So the implication there is the both can't get married. And if she insist in getting married to him that her family will not be part of it, literally she's on her own with the guy, she's so heart broken now because she loves her family and she told me she can't imagine her world without him. And more so she's few weeks pregnant for him and the have started making plans for their wedding. How can she break this news to her fiancee?!!.. She told me she rather dies than not marry him.

ibisko04:
Don't worry about Fashola, he will definitely deliver.

If I am not mistaken the Eko Project is the $90 million loan from the World Bank that Fashola did not want to disclose how it was spent because "FoI does not apply to Lagos state"
