The 15k is for the issuance of temporary what sir?

15k(negotiable mostly) is d total package(runs), but u're issued a temp for 2mnths or thereabouts till d original is ready, for a 1st time license applicant. For others 8k+-.

Talking from experience sha(valid for kogi, lagos, osun n oyo)

U've been had, if u're given d original at capturing(new or old), passports not accepted in lieu of capturing, even if na ur papa! Though, with d right cash, u never can tell in Naija.

Evathyst:
Saraki as far as I know is a dead man walking. Until the emergence of David Mark, the seat of the Senate President has never been something a person relaxes on.


Anyways, that's what blind ambition does to someone. It prevents one from seeing the bigger picture and imagining the consequences of one's action. Saraki, when next you come to this world, remember to keep your ambition in check.


Meanwhile, I can see Pa Chukwudi44 up there. I wonder the calibre of Old men we now have in this generation. Gone are the days when old men are virtuous. Smh.



P.S

Any good samaritan can please help me with this;

Good morning house,

Please ehn, I'm making this enquiry on behalf of someone. She graduated from OAU, and had since collected her certificate. She was as well mobilised for this upcoming youth service. But the problem is that this person in question doesn't have a valid means of identification;

-She had submitted her OAU I.D card in the course of collecting her certificate.
-She didn't have voters card nor did she have a National I.D card.
-Drivers licence and international passport, she doesn't posses any.


Now, my question is that what other means of identification can this person in question tender in camp so as not be barred from entering?


Awaiting your prompt response.

If she caan afford it, let her go to d nearest frsc capturing office, explain her probs and she shud get d temp issued with 15k immediately or at worst d next day, capturing n all!

Yeah but those thinking that the price of phones from China will fall should rethink because it will take some time before it will be actualised and secondly there will be devaluation of naira due to excess demand

That's if they can get money to buy anything ba? Awoof don disappear!

Keystonn:
While ruling out the use of political solution to address Saraki’s prosecution over false assets declaration charges, he asked, “What political situation in a legal matter? Are the judges politicians?” adding that “The President is certainly not the type who will interfere in a judicial matter. I think we know him well. Everybody must know him. Things must be done normally. And that is part of the change mantra that we must play by the rule so that we don’t truncate processes.”

The APC boss continued: “People don’t seem to internalize what change is. If the President says “court, free that man”, the same president can say ‘court, imprison that man.’ Is that the Nigeria you want? No! Change means allowing the law to take the proper course. I can tell you the President won’t interfere. The President is straight definite, straight and firm in all facets.”

So what happened in metuh , dasuki and nnamdi kanu case ?
Apc and hypocrisy

Ordinary comprehension dey hard u? He could av told d judges/courts not to even free those goats u mentioned, but he allowed d courts to pass them mumu judgement, then took them to the court again on different charges!

If d courts what to free economic saboteurs and treasonists into d society, then d govt has a right to play them at their own game. When they where siphoning funds and preaching hate messages, were they observing any rule of law?

let me lecture you on how government works just incase youre ignorant

The FG's share of federal revenue has been provided for in the Appropriation act as a source of finance for the budget, the executive dare not use a dime of that money for another purpose other than what is stated in the appropriation act cos that in itself is an impeachable offence, the best bet was to source for savings from the ECA as it is monies yet to be shared and so hasn't made its way into the FG purse. does this mean the money will be spent by the FG without the consent of states by the fg? definitely no, what it means is that all excess monies will be saved in trust for all tiers of govt until such a time when there is a cash crunch and the monies will be shared with amongst all tiers with the already existing sharing formula

and if i may ask why didnt APC states also save their share too or were they not in govt during those times too?
stop been ignorant it wont make you appear wise

Will u pls, shut ur ignorant self up, instead of displaying it to d entire world?!

What do u av to say to NOI saying she withdrew $2b from ECA with approval strictly from GEJ? Don't ask me for source, just google it, if u're that ignorant!

If the guvs didn't allow savings from d ECA, how come d SWF also remained empty?

I hope u remember, 23 states were owing salaries before the buffoon left, or power becoming scarce or the cabals holding us in d grip of fuel scarcity? Do u really av such short term memory or u're playing dead brain?

Just rest ur case and actually wait for Baba Go-slow to collapse b4 coming out of d woodwork to sprout ........!

Saraki has turned Sarekiri...(run about) ...
He has wittingly and unwittingly pronounced a guilty sentence on himself through his corrupt moves.. He's now being forced by liars...oops!,sorry, lawyers to vomit all illegally acquired wealth. Seriously Saraki is about to loose all, the spirits of all he's cheated/killed are crying for vengeance

Unfortunately, saraki is yet to get the memo saying he will probably loose all! See the current moves by d senate?

As much as I dislike him, u can only admire his never say die attitude! That is d stuff of which motivational books are written: never give up trying! U almost wish he succeeds, just to show them! But, Baba God, pls finish d shameless, arrogant mofo!

To he.ll with criminally inclined motivation!

igbodefender:
What grievances, Sir? The indigenes must have done a great evil. Please enlighten us.



Please, can you tell us more about these communities and why they are at daggers drawn with the indigenes of the land? Communication leads to resolution. Did the indigenes tell them they aren't settlers or what? Do enlighten us, please. As far as Nigeria is concerned anyone can settle anywhere, so tell us. An Igbo man can go buy a house and settle even in Kano.

Pls, I don't support killings of whatever kind, but in my short life on earth, I've realised a lot of folks take actions without tots of consequence/s! We will always pay a price as such, even in my personal life, I tend to go out of my way to be objective.

If u've been to any northern city, u'll discover Ibos will buy n build anywhere, as long as it is profitable! They even own landed properties in present day Maiduguri and speak hausa fluently! So, pls, that argument holds no water. Let us just be tolerable and respect opposing opinions, even when they are certified to be crazy! Taking human lives to replace cattle is absurd, yet d lives have been lost due to pure thievery.

Is there still hope for education in Nigeria?
If a student in HND 2 in a polytechnic in the south west, a few months shy of graduation can write this, do you still wonder why our graduates are said to be " unemployable " ?

I can direct u to something I read this morning, written by a uni undergradute who loves writing. It was poorly written as well.

I try not to judge by written/spoken words but intelligence, as u will discover, even d teachers/lecturers are worse off!

yamfula:
Under Buhari or any other Fulani leader, patience should be completely ignored and totally disrespected. One cannot allow patience to reign. The Fulani, especially the Buhari Fulani is the most wicked ethnic group. i knew Buhari when I was underage then love him as a very smart military man including Idiagbon. People used to tell us these men, Buhari/Idiagbon are nice people. As I have become a man today what I see in Buhari is a lover of only its people. All what I see him do is always on the side of deviding the country. Look at the trial of Tompolo, Saraki etc. He regard these set of people and other as people meant for instant killing. To Buhari those people who he see as people from other tribes need the fastest punishment. He does not believe in following the normal and natural ways of going after people considred as corrupted or people who commit economic crime. Those are the reasons why I will never talk good of him. He is a senior man. We have other northerners like IBB, Abduslami etc. There also other hausas who are fair when it come to judging people. I do not like Buhari hence, anywhere any day I will talk against him. To make issues worst, he is even far from being repentant. Imagine him declaring openyly that the 5% people will be given lesser treatments. Who are those 5% people? These are the Igbos, the south south people. Next time I will give you my full conception of Buhari, his true person, having compared him with other hausas. Am off to somewhere. Thanks

I guess, different takes. I believe d 5% was referring to d wealthiest in society. PMB might not be erudite, but I get his desires, his directions. He his for d common man, which unfortunately, encompasses most of his tribe.

Saraki n Tompolo never mean/meant well for d masses, or how do u explain such absurd sums they diverted to their private pockets? Is it PMB's fault those guys tried to steal Naija blind? Why is he not after Asari? Or Wike? Or Ekweremadu? Those guys were able to do any stealing, under d radar, not like these shameless men u mentioned! If truly their hands are clean, let them stand like men and see if d pple will allow any injustice to befall them, instead of hiding in creeks and behind political persecution! They should be able to explain away those absurd sums traced to their personal accts!

kenny987:
The problem is that it is not even on the table as a solution and these grazing reserves are not in any way promoted as temporary measures. Rather we hear they have been in place for over 40yrs like that makes them proper and feasible today because they were there before. They are obvious attempts by the FG to bully the states.

Nobody has the right to take life or rustle cattle or trespass on farmland. The law enforcement agencies should be alive to their duties of protection of life and property while modern and decent ranching options are proposed and set up. This is what should be done.

Unfortunately, we have our kind of ineffectual law enforcement agencies, and d social media is not helping matters, also, Naija being Naija, will these ranches actually pick up?

In a society that supports progress, those nomads would have settled for d benefits of ranch style rearing, eons ago! And until I actually peruse d bill, I really can't pass judgement, as our lawmakers cant be backed to get it substantially right!

TechWalker007:
You are actually trying to explain TSA to me?

Anyway, this faceless forum makes some things happen. And lastly, TSA was not initiated by this government, it was in operation before this government. Some MDAs were already on it.

Read thru past mentions, and if u're as smart as u think u are, u'll get why I was trying to explain d TSA to u again.

Who ever said it was initiated by this govt? I very well remember a feb deadline passing by and d past govt making empty threats, not until body language came around!

U can have initiated all d best ideas, but until u actually implement it, it is zero! So please spare me, I don't care about who got her pregnant, what interests me is who actually stood by her!

igbodefender:
Sir, who told you cattle ranching doesn't happen overnight? What is rocket science about establishing a ranch, which is nothing but a farm for animal husbandry? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The Grazing Reserves bill is a great danger to Nigeria, because it sows the seeds of instability and raises suspicions of an ethnic landgrab. The Cattle Ranching loan proposal will be the best thing to have happened to the Nigerian beef industry and the herdsmen that control it. Also, it will promote peace and harmony. How would ethnic groups feel if their lands are taken and given to others? Very bad, I tell you. Let's support the right thing, abeg.

Oga, unfortunately, it is rocket science! Do u tink, u just have to purchase d land, buy some cattle n leave them to graze? Have u compared Naija cows to ranch cows? Do u know about breeding? How about diet? Have u tried ur hand at farming at all?

The herdsmen/farmers clash is due to intolerance. Even with d ranch style, cattle will still break fences and probably still enter into surrounding farmlands(ranches are generally in rural areas). What I've been exposed to; cattle break into farmlands, d community sends a party to d herdsmen n a form of compensation is agreed. Everything is sorted out amicably. What u're reading abt nowadays is due to great intolerance n cattle rustling. When u go deeper, u discover d Agatu killings was a long festering retaliation by d herdsmen. Nobody attended to d herdsmen's grievances for more than 2yrs! Some herdsmen communities are practically settlers. They've been in some communities for generations, speak d language fluently, share recipes, even marry! Yet, nowadays, everyone is at daggers drawn?!

I'm not Hausa-Fulani, just trying to play an advocate.

igbodefender:
Good, and the best way to promote the animal farming sector is ranching, which has been proven to be the best system for animal husbandry. Go ask the cowboys of the United States who once used to graze but are now making billions through cattle ranching.

There is nothing tribalistic about proffering solutions to an issue so sensitive that lots of Nigerians see so many things wrong with it.

And the insults you threw on that post are unbecoming of a moderator on the great site Nairaland (Africa's biggest forum). Perhaps you can be more civil in making your point henceforth.

PS. Cattle ranching will make our herdsmen big not just in Nigeria but internationally, as they will find it easier to export and not just supply the Nigerian market. Our economy will be diversified and their efforts will bring in foreign exchange that we badly need at this time. Nothing tribalist in proposing good business for fellow Nigerians, Sir.

Cattle ranching doesn't happen overnite, so what are we going to do while initiating it? Allow d crisis to continue? stop grazing? stop eating beef? start importing more beef?

'WE WILL' - FUTURE TENSE. Start from somewhere nigga, a year already passed.

With corruption fighting back so strenuously, body language is being ignored, patience is d key.

kenny987:
The Land Use Act provides that “all land comprised in the territory of each State in the Federation are hereby vested in the Governor of that State and such land shall be held in trust and administered for the use and common benefit of all Nigerians”. The Grazing Reserve Commission Bill is in direct contravention of this provision because it does not serve the ‘common benefit’ of all or even a substantial fraction of Nigerians.

The Federal government has no business building markets or bus garages. That is done by state governments who hold land in trust for citizens. That is the responsibility of state and local governments. Bus garages are owned and maintained by owners of the transport companies.

This Grazing Reserve Bill gives power to the proposed commission to establish reserves on lands which it deems fit for grazing purposes. That completely usurps the power of the Governor and is absolutely unconstitutional.

Furthermore, the bill proposes that no judgement against the commission shall be executed without the written permission of the Attorney General sought and obtained. That is a blatant attempt at neutralising the power of the courts because the commission will be an agency under the executive; judgment is given against the executive by a neutral arbiter ie the judiciary and yet, justice cannot be served without permission of the same executive ie d AG/Minister of Justice.

Why all these elaborate attempts at legalising impunity and forceful seizure of ancestral lands belonging to a people just because of cattle rearers? The same law prescribes stiff punishments for unlawful entry into reserved areas but is completely silent on unlawful entry of cattle and their handlers into farmlands and dwelling areas.

The owners of these cattle are affluent people who can well afford to lease and set up standard ranches as proper businesses so why should an instrument of government be deployed to secure and set up grazing reserves for them?

It is the duty of the government to provide enabling environments and business policy but it is way overboard to practically spoon feed a particular set of people. Proceeds from this go into private pockets and d cattle are not owned by government. If they do pay taxes would that be to the FG or State governments? It most likely will be to d government in which any reserve is located so why will the FG exercise power to give out lands which it has no control over or ownership of? If they are going to keep roaming from place to place then how are they properly captured for purposes of taxation and revenue for the states?

You cannot give what you do not have! How is the FG expected to allocate revenue and funds for this? The bill doesn't place any obligation on cattle rearers to contribute towards acquisition of these reserves, no where does it show stipulated rents,taxes or levies to be paid and it is the duty of this commission to acquire and manage the reserves!

This is not tribalism, it is legislative rascality that will either not see the light of day or be perished by the courts whose powers it seeks to whittle down. It is only a recipe for disaster to ride roughshod over the sentiments and belief systems of a group of people.

It does serve d common benefit of all. How many other tribes rear cattle for consumption?

I think d labelling has got u confused, u need to see it as a forest reserve, which has been in existence for ever-Yankari Games Reserve, Borgu GR etc. It is actually a criminal offence to be caught farming or poaching on them, same will apply to d grazing reserves.

Also, they can actually be taxed! There are paths they just have to follow to access those reserves, and as such tax agents will be positioned at d right points. Though, pple will remain pple(look for tax loopholes to avoid paying tax)!

Tribalism is still d main issue, we need to start being objective in our reasoning. The Agric minister recently said we don't even have a figure for the cattles being reared, talkless of trying to tax them. He has also spoken on ranches, hence d imported brazilian grass, but these things don't work overnight, they need time. And pending when ranches will become viable and accepted by d nomads, a solution has to be found for d incessant clashes.

I just wrote all these from objective commonsense and everyday news info.

Mynd44:
1. Land use act. (Read up on it)


2. Governments deploy huge funds to build garages for inter/intra-city transport buses why? Because they are important econonic agents.
Beef is an important part of our diet in Nigeria, animal farming is an important part of GDP, a wise government will do its best to make sure that this vital sector is comfortable

You mention "Trading reserves" but the government builds markets and rent out the stalls/shops to traders dont they? Think of a grazing reserve as a market with lock up shops and the herdsmen will pay rent to the government for the use of the space in the same way traders pay for shops in markets built by the government.

3. Tribalism always exposes the shallowness and lack of logical thinking of a lot of people, stay away from it

Weldone bro. They can be so .....

great664:
Lol, anyway its your opinion and you are entitle to it. For your Info, FG has given License to them to start refining. Dangote inclusive

Check Google for fact and that step will help to curb pipeline vandalism since the Refineries will be getting crude directly from Government.

I don't need google to know dat, what I found confusing, was the support n justification for pipeline vandals and the put down of d op, who asked a valid question: if Bruce supports pipeline vandals, would he support pirates of his movies?

great664:
Obviously you asked a stupid question with no bases because of HATE.

what has renting of movie got to do with Illegal refinery?

Let me educate you son.

The difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL refinery is LICENSE.

Now Nigeria as a whole cannot provide a refinery hence exporting crudes to other countries to refine and buy back from them at a high cost.

The logical thing to do could be to give License to those refining in Nigeria and save cost while also boosting labour in Nigeria.

So you see your movie blabla doesn't add up hence the blocking...

For ur info @MBuhari and @APCNigeria blocked me too when I
posted a video of El-Rufai in an interview during GEJ era that Jona should not blame
Hope you get it?
past government, that he should work... so its not new.


PS - Work on your spelling as that screenshot tells a lot of your IQ

And u're using ur fantastic IQ to justify crime? Since cinemas are scarce and expensive, why can't d op screen one of Ben Bruce's movie without license?

U guys are on something! Justifying crime to support ur positions, and u're claiming intelligence?!

youngeagle:
So many kids on nairaland..is already known this present administration just wants to embarrass themselves not Nigerians,Saraki must put up a fight to save his head,they hve made a huge mistake by allowing him climb the throne,they should let him be,who amongst them is not corrupt?,in all these is only the masses that will suffer for there power tussle,Budget wahala and implementation this will also affects it

Chickening out now, will mean PMB has thrown open d gate to more impunity! Saraki's case has to go to its logical conclusion, he is a man without morals nor honour, he doesn't deserve to be a leader!

maupe:
Just to play the devil's advocate, the HOR have extended a hand of friendship and peace to the Executive. I expect the Executive to return the favour, by admitting their errors and ineptitude ( No one is perfect). The President, should now accept this token of friendship and input the new additions into a supplementary budget, and thus pass the 2016 budget into effect, while the NASS reviews and peruses through the remaining errors in the budget

What hand of friendship? The house is backtracking honourably, instead of jeopardising their govt. What u don't seem to have realised is; all these controversies emanate from d senate! During d padding saga, d house insisted it received d unpadded budget, now again they are ready to withdraw d approved doctored budget and rework it.

Saraki is a drowning man, who won't mind bringing everything down with him! Kaka ki eku maje sese, afi shawada ni(d mice will condemn whatever it can't eat)!

LadyExcellency:
I make bold to say that the highly rated professor is emphatically wrong in this one.

Does it mean that NDDC is illegal since it was totally opposed by the Executive and made to exist by the courageous NASS that overturned Obasanjo's veto?

Democracy is a representative government and moreover, Buhari wasn't an independent candidate.

Ur intellectual excellency, d prof, who backed up his argument with quotes from d constitution and went ahead to instigate d AG to act on it at d courts, is wrong on ur personal say so? Goes to show u, an individual can never give an objective assessment of their mental capabilities!

vicado74:
I have mixed feelings about this .............

Don't, cos they'll actually get to meet their constituents!

tuale4u:
With the supplementary, it means all the money they have diverted to their constituency project remains. With amendment the FG is asking for, it means removing what they added and putting Calabar rail road. The funny thing is that most of the things added are for the North. Can you see how foolish and myopic our senators are?

U know, I've had a migraine since this fracas came up, all because of our foolish and myopic house of assembly! They can't just leave politics aside to bring about progress?! And u see their acolytes standing firmly behind them, even after being denied progress. So disgraceful!

[quote author=gare post=44661308][/quote]What u don't seem to get is; if d main budget was distorted and defaced, what's stops them from delaying or refusing to pass any supplementary budget? D govt would be forced to work with that crazy document passed and as such derail its programmes! If it delays work or refuses to implement, then due to their oversight functions, they can take steps to start impeachment proceedings against d clueless head of govt! I support PMB, but how can he make d same mistake as d regrettable past govt and surround himself with incompetent buffoons?!

malton:
This very senate might well go down as the worst calamity to befall mankind!

Never before has there been such a gaggle of nincompoops in government all at once!

Its shameful, disgraceful and unbelievable, that our poor country would be so blessed, all at once! From d executive to d legislative to d judiciary; all nincompoops!
