Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday
registered for the National Identity Card (NIC) and
kept the information about his next of kin away from
the prying eyes reporters who were bent on
capturing his personal data.
The former president said this would prevent undue
“publicity on the matter.”
Obasanjo, who arrived the National Identity
Management Commission (NIMC) office, Oke –
Mosan, Abeokuta, at 1:35pm and received by the
NIMC’s officials led by the Director of Identity Card
Database, Abuja office, Engr. Aliu Azeez, quickly
had his height measured and finger prints taken.
But when it got to the column requiring information
about his next of kin, the former president who had
been responding orally to the NIMC officials’
questions, picked a piece of paper, covered it with
his palm, wrote the name of his next of kin and
handed it over to the commission’s personnel.
Turning to the curious reporters and surging
television cameramen, he said: “I have decided to
keep my next of kin secret and away from you. If
you know it, you will give it undue publicity.”
He later expressed confidence that the project if
sustained, would help tackle the country security
challenges.

The justification for the N65 ATM charges!!!

The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has denied the
report that it has reintroduced charges on the use
of Automated Teller Machines, ATMs.The
Director, Banking Payments System Department
of CBN, Mr. Dipo Fatokun, told Vanguard after his
remarks at the meeting held by Nigeria Electronic
Fraud Forum in Lagos, that was not a
reintroduction.
According to him, “You have to agree with me that
when the amendment was made in November
2012, it used to be a N100 for any remote-on-us
withdrawal that you did. And you know that the
remote-on-us is when you as a card holder goes
to the ATM of a bank other than your bank to
withdraw cash. It was removed then so that
people would be encouraged to go to other ATMs
without paying for it.
""But the truth is that as we said in the circular on
the Introduction of Fees on Remote-On-Us ATM
Withdrawal Transactions recently, that N100
included the N35 that goes to the issuing bank,
which has now been completely waived.The
issuing bank does not make any thing, but in
going to other ATMs to make withdrawal , your
bank, that is, the acquirer bank incurs cost of N65
which they pay to the switches and the owner of
the ATM that you are using.
Continuing, he said: ”Between 2012 and recently
when the review was done, it was discovered that
people have actually turned ATMs into their
personal purses because nothing is charged.
Somebody needs N500, or N1000, he will go to
ATM and withdraw, he needs N2000, he will go to
ATM and withdraw, so that in a day some people
can patronise ATM for up to four or ten times.
That has created a huge cost burden for the
banks that issue the cards.
It was becoming discouraging to them.“So that is
why we said, you can go to an ATM other than
your bank ATM to withdraw up to three times and
no charges would be imposed on you, but it is
when you make the fourth withdrawal that you
will pay the N65 that ordinarily your bank would
have paid on your behalf. But of course, if you go
to your bank’s ATM, the issuer, for withdrawal
you can withdraw as many times as you like
without being charged. So, it does not discourage
financial inclusion.""

The only book that refers not to any book but other books refer to it.

A Native doctor from ondo state has come out to
say that he can cure victims struck by the Ebola
virus.Mr Tosin Elemigbuwa (pictured) claims that
he has treated the virus in the past and does not
recognize it by the name "Ebola".
He said the description and symptoms of Ebola
match the rare sickness he treated in the past.
He called it “Aisan Ode” in Ondo State’s native
Ikale dialect, adding that it is a striking sign of a
deity related to the waters called ‘Obaluaye’. He
said it was highly contagious and almost
incurable.(continue)
Elemigbewa, who is currently in Lagos with some
of his relief medicine for the Ebola viciims, says
that the government should not underestimate
Yoruba traditional healers and that he should be
given a chance to prove that he can cure the
sickness at least with one patient. He advised
doctors against the use of syringe in treating the
disease as it worsens the sickness

onatisi: I think uu got the message wrong ,it is 65 naira per atm withdrawal after 4 free withdrawals on another bank atm.

The new charge shall apply as from the fourth
remote-on-us withdrawal (in a month) by a card
holder, thereby making the first three remote-on-us
transactions free for card holders, but to be paid for
by the issuing bank.

it mean d first three (3) transactions will b free and subsequent transaction will attract #65 within a specific month...

OTHER LESSONS FROM OSUN - BAMIDELE
JOHNSON
Certain lessons, presumably, have been learnt
from the governorship election in the State of
Osun. The lessons learnt are likely to have
depended on what wasn’t obvious to you before
the election.
Smarter people, especially in the media (new and
traditional), have provided arm-long lists of what
was learnt from the defeat of Senator (Engr.)
Iyiola Omisore as engineered by Ogbeni (Engr.)
Rauf Aregbesola.
On the popular lists of lessons learnt are: 1)
sterling performance in office is key to re-
election 2) a candidate’s possession of common
touch is as important (or almost) as a stellar
performance record 3) stomach infrastructure
was not a game changer 4) the will of the people
will always triumph over that of tyranny etc.
All well and good. I have also learnt a few lessons
which may not offer the same profundity as those
already listed in the media, but are lessons all the
same.
The first: Never assume a successful formula in
one state will deliver the same outcome in
another.
Omisore attempted to copy “word for word” the
campaign manual written by Ayo Fayose in Ekiti.
Fayose, the exponent of public maize-chomping,
paraga-sipping and okada-riding, perhaps, was
speaking to a public that views those actions as
evidence of genuine connection with the masses.
He smiled while chewing maize or riding on
okada. Fayose, a master of theatre, chewed
lustily. Omisore didn’t. While he ate maize in
public, sometimes grabbing two cobs at a time, he
didn’t smile; he scowled. He simply lacked
Fayose’s exuberance, something that might have
told the voters that his affair with maize was an
act of bogus affinity.
His ride on okada was similarly joyless. He is,
perhaps, not the most expressive of persons. But
for a man with the physique of a pitbull and a face
like a mastiff’s, the people could be forgiven for
seeing menace instead of his desire to be seen as
one of them.
He certainly wasn’t helped by the view that he
represents menace, something that grew from his
presumed complicity in the murder of Chief Bola
Ige.
Lesson Two: Closely related to the first one. By
the time general elections come next year, maize
won’t as ubiquitous as it is this year.
The elections will be in April, when the maize
harvest will still be at its infancy. Maize may also
have lost its potency as a vote winner. Politicians
may have to look for some other items to chew,
drink or do in public. They’d be better served by
what is popular in their constituencies.
To the Northern politician, who is so persuaded, I
recommend kulikuli, kilishi, suya (Ebola
permitting) or fura de nunu.
And where alcohol is not prohibited, burukutu
should be consumed in public, with camera lights
flashing.
For those seeking stronger connections, getting a
pedicure and manicure from those itinerant
abokis with unsterilised tools is the way to go. In
this season of “the blood you are sharing”, a
candidate that shares blood with the masses, via
unsterilised manicure tools, should connect more
tightly.
Guys East of the Niger, I am convinced, will get
more mileage if they eat ube while assisting
traders in Ariaria or one of the many markets to
sell auto spare parts, fabrics or second-hand
underwear.
Those in Edo and Delta states should consider
eating starch and banga at motor parks,
preferably contriving to make an ample quantity of
the oily soup fall on their expensive suits and
brocades. Aspirants in Cross River and Akwa
Ibom states similarly must find a way of getting
their apparels embroidered with afang or
edikaikong.
In the Southwest, a wrap of amala or pounded
with okro or efo riro, accompanied by 20 pieces of
meat-commercial driver style-will do the trick. Of
course, it could cut the other way, as people may
view anyone eating in that fashion as constituting
a threat to public funds.
Whatever item is chosen should be consumed
with maniacal relish, even if simulated, and
preferably noisily. The poor, says a Yoruba
proverb, eat greedily and noisily, while the rich
pick their food. Since the appeal is to the poor, the
politician is advised to eat like the poor.
Lesson Four: “Stomach infrastructure” is the
past, present and future of our politics.
The loss of Ekiti State by the All Progressives
Congress in June, in some circles, was cast as
the triumph of stomach infrastructure over
physical infrastructure. Rice, noodles, detergents,
money et al were presented as having swung
things in favour of Ayo Fayose of the Peoples
Democratic Party.
Stomach infrastructure, I am convinced, played a
part in that election. How big a part it played is
what I don’t know. The fact, however, every
candidate with the means erect stomach
infrastructure. That has been with us for as long
as I can remember. While it now has a jazzy
moniker, it is by no means new as many were
trying to present it.
During the Second Republic, essential
commodities, especially rice, were given to the
needy by the late Lamidi Adedibu of the defunct
National Party of Nigeria.
I lived close to his home, so I saw the items being
shared. One Abimbola, then a chieftain of the
National People’s Party in Oyo State did same,
not on a similar scale, in his house on Oluyole
Estate, Ibadan.
I saw it in the Third Republic and I am seeing it
now. Kayode Fayemi’s wife fed the poor in Ekiti.
His government pays and still pays a stipend in
social security to a category of old people.
In 2011, photographs of mini-bags of rice bearing
the face of Senator Gbenga Bariyu Ashafa were
prominent on social media, just like those of Fufu
Aregbe and Omisore Rice have been prominent
this year. Stomach infrastructure was here, is
here and, I suspect, always will be. Though sad,
that is the situation.
But dressing it up as a new phenomenon is either
dishonest or a hint of ignorance.
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo does not
love Nigeria. The former president cannot be
divorced from Omisore’s election into the Senate
in 2003. While in prison custody for Ige’s murder,
without the opportunity to campaign, he
astonishingly won a senatorial seat. His election
was held up as an evidence of sympathy for him
over his travails. That appeared confirmed as a
ruse.
Since 2003, Omisore has contested three
elections, losing two. A bid to return to the Senate
in 2011 failed in spectacular fashion. This year,
even with federal might behind him, he came up
short again.

PaulJohn1: Omisore should better forget about ever governing Osun. It's a pity he came from the same senatorial district with Aregbe, I would have adviced him to go back to the senate.
But the Ijeshas that are the majority in his senatorial district won't let that happen.

In short, he should look elsewhere for relevance outside Osun. Perhaps, GEJ can make him a minister or an ambassador.

Yes,arrangement hv bn concluded by GEJ to send him to Liberia as Nigeria ambassador.

omisore-never-attend

OMISORE KNOWS HIMSELF, HE IS
TEMPERAMENTAL AND CANNOT WITHSTAND HOT
ARGUMENT IN DEBATE:
1. HE HAS NO CLEAR CUT MANIFESTO TO
FORMULATE POLICIES FOR GOVERNANCE.
2. HE HAS NEVER PERFORMED WELL IN ANY
OFFICE BEFORE.
3. OMISORE HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO
GENUINELY AFFECT POSITIVELY THE LIVES OF
PUBLIC PEOPLE AROUND HIM HOWEVER HE HAS
DONE A LOT TO AFFECT NEGATIVELY.
4. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OF A MAN WHO
SLAPPED ADELEKE OVER PRIMARY ELECTION AND
TOLD HIM IF HE INSIST TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
PDP PRIMARY, BLOOD WILL FLOW?
5. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OF A MAN WHO
ASSAULTED HIS PARTY CHAIRMAN AND OTHERS
OVER WHO SHOULD BE CUSTODIANS OF CASH
FROM MR. PRESIDENT FOR THEIR ELECTION
CAMPAIGN?
6. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OF A MAN WHO
ANGRILY REMOVED CAP FROM MINISTER OF
JUSTICE OPENLY IN AN EVENT AT ILE-IFE, FEW
WEEKS LATER THE MINISTER WAS
ASSASSINATED?
7. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OF A MAN WHO IS
AFRAID OF HIS OWN SHADOW?
8. I HAVE A COLLEAGUE IN MY OFFICE, WHOSE
ELDER BROTHER WAS CLASSMATE WITH
AREGBESOLA AT IBADAN POLY. EVEN IF HE IS NOT
A DEGREE HOLDER, SITTING FOR PROFESSIONAL
EXAMS AND HAVING THEIR CERTIFICATE QUALIFY
YOU AS A PROFESSIONAL. BESIDES NIGERIAN
CONSTITUTION SAYS MINIMUM OF WAEC.
9. ALSO, CAN WE SAY SOMEONE WHO SAT FOR
ICAN EXAMINATION AND PASSED ALL THEIR
EXAMS INDUCTED AS ICAN MEMBER IS NOT AN
ACCOUNTANT.
10. AREGBE IS A REGISTERED COREN MEMBER.
AREGBE IS BETTER THAN THE DUBIOUS WHO
CLAIMED HE OBTAIN PHD FROM OUTSIDE THAT
CANNOT BE TRUSTED. WHO IS THE MAN THAT
GOES ON STREET FOR CAMPAIGN WITH MASKED
SECURITY.
11. AREGBE MAY HAVE HIS OWN LITTLE FAULT
BUT CAN NEVER BE COMPARED WITH OMISORE.
12. LET PDP BRING CLEAN PERSON AS THEIR
CANDIDATE THEN OSUN CAN DECIDE TO DROP
AREGBE BUT NOT FOR OMISORE.
13. IN A CLEAN AND CLEAR ELECTION AREGBE
WILL DEFEAT OMISORE WITH CLEAR MARGIN.
14.FOR EKITI STATE FAYEMI PERFORMED, AND
ALSO FAYOSE IS KNOWN YEARS WITH
GRASSROOT EVEN BEFORE HIS FIRST ELECTION,
HE HAS BEING ASSISTING AND DISTRIBUTING
WATER FREE TO THE PEOPLE, LET OMISORE
CONTINUE TO EAT CORN ON THE STREET WITH
HIS MASKED SECURITY MEN FROM NOW TILL
ELECTION DAY, HE CAN NEVER BE FAYOSE
NEITHER CAN HE BE AREGBE.
15. HE KNOWS RIGHTLY WELL THAT HE CANNOT
WIN THE ELECTION ONE MAN ONE VOTE, HE
DEPENDS ON FEDERAL POWER AND RIGGING.
16. HE IS NOT AN INTELLECTUAL.
17 A MURDERER REMAINS A MURDERER. GBAM
GBAM!!!
