FG assessment portal: Nigerians rate power, defence, agric, education ministers poorly

https://punchng.com/fg-assessment-portal-nigerians-rate-power-defence-agric-education-ministers-poorly/

A country that has the highest number of children out of school using online assessment for ministers is such an irony.

Do we know how much money is spent on the online assessment of the ministers

How does it add up to our ballooning debt and deficits?

DonDaDa234:
I hope efforts are being put in place for maintenance! Very important. I commend the minister for the job so far. Let’s see how it turns out

Given the rate of unemployment and the amount of foreign currency that would have paid for the new gadgets and the subsequent maintenance, how is this the best way to spend money that is unavailable?

I hope you are ready to work like a donkey to pay off the debts of buying foreign goods without exporting our own goods and services?

Even the Lagos youths, how has he prioritised their development by making them into area boys and agberos for recruitment purposes as thugs by MC Oluomo his chief agbero?

For the 25 years of ThiefNuibu’s IGR raising master plan, how many Lagos youths have been recruited into the teaching profession to give free education to all their children?

Are ThiefNuibu, Akume and others in APC truly progressive or just a-looter comrades of propaganda who say what they don’t do

Obaseki should be careful b4 the gods visit him in a way he will not like.

How did the gods visit the British after caging and sending Ovonramwen on exile?

Was that not how Obasanjo was talking about using black magic to fight SA apartheid regime? How much black magic has he exported to make Nigeria as rich as China

In quick order, a large British military force—deemed the Punitive Expedition—was assembled, and on February 18, they arrived in Benin City under orders to invade and conquer it. In time they captured Oba Ovonramwen and sent him into exile to Calabar, a town east of Benin.

With these events, the daily routines of the royal court were disrupted and the Edo people were severed from their leaders.

Is this not the whole essence of the propaganda by LP labourer Olumide Akpata

gbengene1234:
Obaseki did not deem it fit to restore peace all this while until election period. Even if he adhere to all the demands of the Royal Palace. I don't think Benin's will forgive him. He is bound to lose this coming election.

Lol. 😆😆😆 Senior man u too funny
That's politics for you and beside this is also a propaganda I think so there's no conflict between THE BENIN TRADITIONAL COUNCIL AND THE STATE GOVERNMENT

Olumide Akpata and his fellow LP labourers are doing propaganda to swindle Edo people just as Gbajue Peter Obi laboured in vain and failed to scam us last year.

“’I cannot take anything back about Obi. I said Obi said he wants to move Nigeria back from consumption to production and I said that is not true. He cannot do it because his own business survives on consumption. Is that a lie? He has been an importer and I said he deals with cash and carry economics; container economics, imports”.

“All the goods that can be produced in Nigeria, Obi imports them in his supermarkets. That is consumption economics. That kind of person cannot tell you that he is moving you from consumption to production. He will then be committing self-economic suicide and Obi will not do that to himself”.

“So, Obi is deceiving everybody and I can’t take that back because that is true.

Renewed shege

From change to shege, how did we miss all the signs, including from Baba Iyabo who cluelessly supported Buhari and APC over Jonathan and PDP, the party that made him president from Abacha's prison

citizenisb:
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.

“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.

The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.

While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.

“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”

Apr 28, 2009

The Brig.-Gen. Ishaya Bauka-led court martial on Monday sentenced 27 former United Nations peacekeepers to life imprisonment for protesting the non-payment of their peacekeeping allowances.

The convicts include three female members of the peace operation.

The court, however, discharged and acquitted one of the 28 accused soldiers, Lance Corporal Bala Aliyu, for want of evidence.

The female soldiers, Yetunde Olanihun, Mary Idoko and Esther Nkawor, and other convicted soldiers who have been[b] in detention since July 2008,[/b] did not betray any emotion as the court handed them the maximum punishment for their offence.

The defence counsel, Mr. Femi Falana, who appeared briefly during the judgment, described it as a charade, saying the soldiers would appeal the judgment.

Falana had accused the president of the court martial of bias during the hearing.

He claimed that Bauka had said that no matter what, the soldiers would be punished for protesting. The human rights lawyer and the president of the court martial had an altercation during the hearing which led to Bauka walked away from the court.

In a judgment that was read for more than five hours, the president of the court martial said that the prosecution team, led by Lt.-Col. Sampson Nurseman, proved beyond reasonable doubt that the 27 soldiers, who served in the United Nations Mission in Liberia, were guilty of a one count charge of mutiny levelled against them.

The court held that the soldiers violated Section 12 subsection 2 of the Armed Forces Act of 2004.

It added that the punishment prescribed by the law was life imprisonment for the offenders, subject to the confirmation by the superior authorities.

The 27 soldiers jailed for life include Sergeant Oliver Akwara, Corporals Princewill Onwunari, Corporals Abass Saliu and Paul Maikudi.

Others are Lance Corporals Umar Abdukadir, Musa Salisu, Paschal Steven, Ibrahim Yusuf Loveday Nnadi, Yomi Ibukun, Bello Zaharadeen, Okani Pope, Wanogho Shadrack, Lawal Abubakar, Innocent Egbuna and John Felix.

The rest are Kabiru Mohammed, Chukwudi Onwukanjo, Samuel Ogbe, Jonathan Komo, Adaraloye Olalekan, Salisu Ibrahim, Anthogah Jonathan and Kelechi Anukan.

All the soldiers served under Lt. Col.-Godwin Umelo in NIBATT 15 at the United Nations Missions in Liberia.

Bauka held that the soldiers disobeyed the order of the commanding officer of the 323 Artillery Regiment, Akure, Ondo State, where they staged a public protest to press for the payment of their compulsory savings.

Bauka said, “A junior serving personnel is bound to obey the order of their superior once the order is legal. The refusal to obey the order fails to meet the military standard.”

The soldiers had during the trial said that they were arrested at random, adding that one of the officers collected a bribe of $150 from some of those arrested for the same offence.

They stated that the officer freed those who paid the bribe and refused to let go those of them who refused to cooperate with him.

But while the soldiers were jailed for life, the officers who were responsible for the mix-up which triggered the protest were given a very light punishment.

PrinceofSarcasm:
While it is tempting to celebrate Nigeria's relatively low debt-to-GDP ratio of 41.3% as a testament to prudent financial management and economic stability, we must critically examine the broader context and avoid falling prey to government propaganda that often distracts from more significant issues. This pattern of overhyping modest achievements, unfortunately, obscures deeper systemic problems and reflects a troubling reliance on superficial metrics to paint an overly optimistic picture of economic health.

First, it's essential to understand that the debt-to-GDP ratio is just one of many indicators of a country's financial well-being. While a lower ratio can suggest economic stability, it does not automatically equate to overall economic prosperity or effective governance. For instance, Nigeria's external debt stood at a staggering $41.59 billion (N31.98 trillion) as of December 2023. Despite the favorable debt-to-GDP ratio, this figure represents a significant financial burden that the government often downplays.

Moreover, Nigeria's total debt is approximately N97.34 trillion, according to the Debt Management Office (DMO). This figure, when considered alongside other economic indicators such as[b] inflation, unemployment, and poverty rates, paints a more comprehensive and less rosy picture of the country's economic health.[/b] Celebrating a low debt-to-GDP ratio without addressing these critical issues is misleading and fails to provide a complete understanding of Nigeria's economic challenges.

This tactic of highlighting mediocre achievements to distract from broader failures is not new. In the past, the government has celebrated minor improvements in literacy rates or the addition of a few kilometers of roads while ignoring the crumbling infrastructure and inadequate educational facilities. Such selective reporting serves as a distraction from the government's overall poor performance in critical areas that directly impact the quality of life of its citizens.

For instance, the government previously touted a slight increase in literacy rates as a significant achievement, despite the increase being a negligible 0.2%. Similarly, the addition of a few dozen kilometers of new roadways was heralded as a major success, even as the existing road network remained in disrepair, contributing to severe traffic congestion and hampering economic activities.

The celebration of Nigeria's debt-to-GDP ratio in isolation follows this familiar pattern. It is essential to hold the government accountable for providing a holistic view of the country's economic status rather than relying on selective statistics that offer a skewed perspective. While debt management is undoubtedly important, it must be seen in conjunction with other economic factors to provide a true picture of the nation's financial health.

While Nigeria's debt-to-GDP ratio may be commendable at face value, it is crucial to approach such figures with a critical eye and demand transparency and comprehensive reporting from the government. Only then can we move beyond propaganda and truly assess the country's economic standing and address the underlying issues that hinder sustainable development and prosperity.

SATANICALLY:
In a 2018 interview, Peter Obi said he invested $20 million in International Breweries on behalf of Anambra state as a governor.

Obi’s claim was in response to questions on economic development, Anambra politics and his presidential ambition.

“… Anambra state is the single-highest shareholder in that facility. I invested in it, over $20 million,” Obi had said.

“It is worth almost $100 [million] today. That’s what government should do.”

TheCable had previously fact-checked some of the claims.

Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, also debunked a recent statement ascribed to him regarding the investment.

International Breweries (IB) Plc is a subsidiary of the world’s largest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) — a multinational drink and brewing giant based in Leuven, Belgium.

In its 2021 audited financial statement, the company said it holds 43 percent economic interest in International Breweries Plc, a publicly listed company in Nigeria.

According to a report by The Nation, AB InBev merged its Nigerian operations under a single corporate entity in 2017. It had three indirect Nigerian subsidiaries — International Breweries Plc, Intafact Beverages Limited and Pabod Breweries Limited. SABMiller Nigeria Holdings BV — another subsidiary of AB InBev — was also a major stakeholder in Intafact and Pabod.

ANAMBRA’S INVESTMENT

In a statement made available to TheCable on Tuesday, Ifeatu Onejeme, Anambra’s commissioner of finance, confirmed that Peter Obi’s administration invested the sum of N1,955,535,247.00 (an equivalent of approximately $12,616,356.43 at the then average CBN exchange rate of N155.00/$1) in Intafact Beverages Limited, a green-field brewery set up in Onitsha by SABMiller Breweries of South Africa in 2012.

Onejeme added that the state government still holds 407,321,264 ordinary shares of International Breweries Plc in exchange for the Intafact Beverages Limited investment.

“Based on the NGX closing price of N5.50 as of 20/6/22, these shares were valued at N2,240,266,952 on that date,” the statement reads in part.

“Based on the Central Bank of Nigeria I&E exchange rate of N415.75/US$1.00 on same June 20, 2022, this investment was valued at an equivalent of approximately US$5,388,495.37 (and at N604/$1.00 parallel market rate, only US$3,709,051.24).”
