| Politics › People Working For Me Have Houses Abroad But I Don’t — Dangote by ArewaNorth(op): 1:26pm On Jul 03, 2023 |
Africa’s richest man has revealed that while some of his staff have houses abroad which they use as holiday homes, he has none. The business mogul further gave some tips in order to succeed as a person in the business space. In an interview conducted by Business Insider Africa and published recently on the Tonyelumelufoundation’s verified Instagram account, Dangote said, “A lot of people even the younger ones, we need to be very careful because one of the biggest issues. With us Africans, it is that we spend our projected incomes. “Once you start doing business and the business starts doing well, rather than for you to keep investing into the business, you start spending money and thinking that the profit will continue to come. There are ups and downs in business so you need to be very focused and say ‘Okay fine what do you do and how to do those things.” The businessman further advised that acquiring luxurious things could be a distraction. Citing himself as an example, Dangote stated, “Luxury things — they also take up your time which will not make you focus on your business. I mean, I don’t have any holiday home anywhere; I don’t have a house anywhere but I know people who are working for me, they have a house in London. But I don’t.” https://dailytrust.com/people-working-for-me-have-houses-abroad-but-i-dont-dangote/ |

They want to get his morale low and beat him psychological but the Bawa I know; a very educated, exposed young guy will give both DSS & EFCC headache in this saga and this case may end up Govt paying him compensation due to the poor approach of handing his case! They're just trying to get some sensitive information from him and his resistance won't go well. It is high time we stop deceiving ourselves, remember, Magu had many accusations thrown on him and at the end Govt said lies against him just to replace him with someone. They equally want to replace Bawa! |

| Politics › Many Houses On Fire As Fresh Crisis Breaks Out In Benue by ArewaNorth(op): 6:10pm On Jun 13, 2023 |
Several houses were reportedly burnt on Tuesday as fighting intensified between two communities in Ikpayongo of Gwer East Local Government Area of Benue State. Daily Trust reports that renewed rivalry between the warring parties -Mbakume (Mbaivur) and Mbasombo people erupted at the weekend while one of the warring parties tried to bury their dead. Witnesses said that the trouble escalated on Tuesday morning, as the market in the community was set ablaze amid sporadic gunshots. Residents took refuge in a church in the community. Immediate past governor of Benue, Samuel Ortom, tried different options to restore peace, including suspending traditional rulers, but there was no meaningful result. The police also initiated dialogues to end the crisis but it continued unabated. Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Catherine Anene, confirmed the latest incident, saying houses were burnt. Anene added that the situation was under control as operatives of the command had been drafted to quell the crisis. https://dailytrust.com/many-houses-on-fire-as-fresh-crisis-breaks-out-in-benue/ |

ManWater:Was there any monopoly in Nigeria's market? As of March 2021, DPR published the number of valid refinery project licences that stood at 23 and some childry of hate and perdition will come to social media crying monopoly when in reality GEJ gave them licences and access to CBN loans in billions of naira but ended up importing oil instead of building the refineries but when others who aren't among them building they cry monopoly, always crying on others progress. What a daft set of subhumans! These are the licensed modular and mega refineries: 1 . Waltersmith Refining & Petrochemical Company Limited Ibigwe Imo 2 OPAC Refineries Umuseti, Kwale Delta 3 .

Goodlady:This is purely nonsensical, our geographical location isn't defined by tribes or religion but a demarcation outlining states and zonal formation defined by government that make up FRN. Should Kanuri speaking people in Jigawa be asked to be aligned with their counterparts in Yobe or the dozens of tribes in many Northern or Nigerian states come out and ask for resettlement base on their tribal identities? The fact that Igbos are zoned to SE and Yorubas SW doesn't necessarily means all other tribes must have a zone for their tribesmen, henceforth u may ask Yorubas in Kaba area of Kogi state to be moved to Ekiti in the SW and later Yoruba from Niger state untill your absurdity is exposed. Why only people like you make such kind of dumb demands and not others in other zones? |
| Politics › Nigeria Loses 965 Soldiers, Policemen To Boko Haram, IPOB In 2 Years by ArewaNorth(op): 12:36pm On Jun 03, 2023 |
At least 965 soldiers and policemen have died in the line of duty as a result of the escalation of violence in many parts of Nigeria, perpetrated by Boko Haram, bandits, activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and other non-state actors in the last two years. Daily Trust Saturday tracked the various violent incidents related to killings of police and military personnel between January 2021 and April 2023 in which findings revealed that Nigeria’s security officials bore a significant brunt of killings by non-state actors. The data metrics, which were exclusively gathered from reported incidents in newspapers, showed that 581 policemen and 384 military personnel died in the line of duty within the period under review. Retired senior officers, however, said the incidents, though unfortunate, would not affect the morale of security forces, who are spread all over the country to maintain law and order. Daily Trust Saturday could not get official records from the Nigerian Army and police headquarters as efforts to reach the army spokesperson, Onyema Nwachukwu and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, did not yield results after they both failed to respond to calls and text messages. However, records revealed that the NPF has approximately 371,800 officers across the country, with a ratio of one police officer to 540 citizens. This is lower than the United Nation’s recommended rate of one police officer to 450 people. For the military, World Bank database revealed that as at 2019, Nigeria had a military strength of 223,000 personnel. This figure, despite a significant loss of at least 384 personnel, was corroborated in February, 2023 by Nigeria’s minister of defence, Bashir Magashi, during the 25th edition of President Muhammadu Buhari’s scorecard series to showcase his administration’s achievements. A breakdown of the data mined by this newspaper showed that out of the 384 military personnel killed, 192 were killed by Boko Haram and other terrorists, 68 by gunmen and the IPOB, 62 by bandits and 62 by other criminal groups and circumstances. Newspaper reports showed that from the 581 police officers killed, 344 were killed by gunmen and the IPOB, 119 were killed by bandits and kidnappers, while 53 by armed robbers and other criminal groups. The data also showed that 32 police officer died in accidents while 18 were killed by colleagues and other security personnel and 15 by Boko Haram and the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP). Regions, states with high military, police killings Data from media reports collated by this newspaper revealed that men of the Nigerian military recorded heavier casualties in the North, especially North East and North West, where activities of Boko Haram and bandits are more prevalent. The police, on the other hand, suffered heavier casualties in the southern part of the country, especially the South East and South-South, where activities of IPOB and gunmen, a term loosely used to refer to attacks by suspected members of the Eastern Security Network, the armed group of IPOB are more prevalent. North West, 106 in the South-South and 85 men in the North Central. The police also lost 43 officers in the South West and 37 in the North East. The five states with the highest police killings are Anambra, where 63 police officers lost their lives, followed by Imo, where 52 officers were killed, as well as Niger State, where 42 police officers were killed. Others are Delta State, where 37 were killed and Ebonyi, where 35 police officers lost their lives. The five states make 39.5 per cent of police killings in the country. The top five states with the highest military losses include Borno State, where 152 soldiers were killed in the last two years, followed by Kaduna State, where the military lost 35 soldiers, and Kebbi, where 23 soldiers were killed in the line of duty. In Niger State, 28 soldiers were killed, while 20 were killed in Anambra State. The five states combined make 67 per cent of military killings in the country. The data from police killings revealed that out of 581 police lives lost in the last two years, 60 per cent came from the South while the North has 40 per cent. The data also showed that 305 of police killings were as a result of ambush by gunmen, with the South East and South-South recording 73.7 per cent. On a region-by-region analysis, the NPF lost 200 officers in the South East, 110 in the North West, 106 in the South-South and 85 men in the North Central. The police also lost 43 officers in the South West and 37 in the North East. Losses will not affect officers’ morale – Retired officers Speaking on the number of casualties recorded by the military, Major Muhammad Bashir Galma (retd) said such things were expected in Nigeria’s ongoing security challenges. He, however, said every military officer killed in that cause was a loss to Nigeria. Major Galma described the number of military personnel killed in the line of duty as alarming, but said that as far as the operational mode was concerned, the military are known for recording such high casualties, therefore, the losses would not affect troops’ morale. On his part, a retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), Wilson Inalegwu, said ambushes on the NPF, especially in the South East would not affect the morale of the police as those who joined any law enforcement agency are aware that they cannot determine what happens to them. Inalagwu, who linked the country’s increasing crime rates to unemployment, poverty and illiteracy, among others, said the government must address all the root causes of crimes. “I think the root causes of crimes must be addressed to stop these attacks and killings of police officers. The police community relations must be improved to make communities see the police as part of them in order to feed them with sensitive information. “Also, a lot of training and professionalism needs to be put in the system to help the police survive these ambushes,” he added. He said the police had tried to be professional and respond to distress calls, even when danger lurks. “But because of their passion to serve, they have found themselves ambushed and killed. “What will affect their morale is what will happen to their families after they get killed. What are the death gratuities? Are they going to be evicted from the barracks? These are the things that will affect the morale of police officers, not the killings,” Inalegwu said. https://dailytrust.com/nigeria-loses-965-soldiers-policemen-to-boko-haram-ipob-in-2-years/ |

Kano Born Son Alhaji Aliku Dangote Founder Aliko Dangote Foundation Shocking Life Revelations: “I’m not a person who just likes to throw away money. I spend more money on charitable things than myself. Luckily, myself and my children, have been very disciplined. That’s why if you look at it today, because of the way I run my lifestyle, I don’t have any home outside Nigeria. I stay in hotels. Quiet. Simple. My life is not very lavish, and I get very embarrassed if I try to show that I have money. I don’t. I think I always advise people that it’s better to be very communal. In Lagos, I drive myself around on weekends. I ask my driver to go have a rest, and then I drive myself around. I still visit the normal friends I grew up with. My house is open 24 hours a day for them. I mingle with everybody. That’s the only way to get to know what’s going on.” Alhaji Aliko Dangote 4 Likes 1 Share
