Politics › DSS Tells Oshiomhole To Resign Over Bribery Allegation by BeautifulMind2(op): 10:50am On Nov 07, 2018
The Department of the State Service has advised the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole to resign over allegation of Bribery.
It was gathered that the operatives of the DSS arrested and grilled Oshiomhole for about nine hours on Sunday.
It was learnt that some state governors of the APC filed petitions to the DSS, alleging Oshiomhole of taking bribes from some candidates during the recent party primaries.
However, Oshiomhole denied the allegation as he refused to resign, saying that President Muhammadu Buhari was in the know of every step he took during the primaries.
Oshiomhole said that he would reign only if he had lost the confidence of President Buhari.

Politics › Kaduna Traders Reject El-rufai's Offer To Rebuild Their Burnt Shops by BeautifulMind2(op): 9:22am On Nov 07, 2018
There was a drama at the Central Market (Abubakar Gumi) in Kaduna, Kaduna STate, on Tuesday as traders in the market openly rejected the offer of Governor Nasir El-Rufai to rebuild their dilapidated shops.

It was gathered that the Governor made an unscheduled visit to the market on Tuesday after he was told that Shehu Sani, the senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, had visited the market earlier on Monday.

The Governor was said to have quickly arranged for a visit to the same market. The traders interjected the Governor while addressing the crowd and booed him, shouting: 'We Don't Want, We Don't Want, You Can Only Do One Term'.

Sani had visited the market on Monday at 11am as part of his street parliament initiative to engage the people of his constituency and interact freely with them.

He was warmly received in the market, as people kept praising him for identifying with the course of the common man in the discharge of his national activities in the Senate.

Sani recently donated the sum of N1million to the victims of fire incident at the railway station market in the state. The senator also granted two-year scholarship to the children of the traders who died in the fire incident.

El-Rufai had recently, in Abuja, dared Sani to test his popularity by going to the central market, and see if he would leave unhurt. He had also accused the lawmaker of working against the party, saying the people were not happy with him.

Last week, el-Rufai announced the Executive Secretary, Kaduna State Primary Health Care Agency, Dr. Hadiza Abubakar Balarabe, as his running mate in the 2019 general elections, a decision that has been widely condemned by the Christian community in the state.

BREAKING| United States Institute For Peace USIP Denies Predicting a Buhari Win in 2019



Correcting a Media Error: USIP Makes No Prediction on Nigerian Election
Tuesday, November 6, 2018

NEWS TYPE: Announcement

Share This
Print the Page
A few Nigerian newspapers reported erroneously this week that the U.S. Institute of Peace has made a prediction about the possible outcome of Nigeria’s 2019 presidential election. USIP never makes predictions about election outcomes and has not done so in this case. The Institute’s work on elections is confined to helping nations avoid electoral violence.

The erroneous news accounts misrepresent USIP’s recent 20-page report on the risks to a peaceful 2019 election in Nigeria. This study is based on interviews across the country with more than 200 Nigerian respondents—election administrators, political party representatives, security officials, civil society and youth groups, the media, traditional and religious leaders, prominent community figures, business people, academics and others.

The USIP report noted that, in the interviews, “some respondents” discussed their own views of Nigerian public perceptions about an election outcome. A Nigerian news account mis-reported this passage as a USIP prediction of the outcome, and other Nigerian news organizations repeated the error.

As USIP is a strictly nonpartisan institution, its work on elections focuses entirely on preventing violence

Sultan & Ooni seated on the right & left of Charles. Obi of Onitsha, Emir of Kano, Oba of Benin (Isn't that him in burgundy?) sitted one row behind, as if they are junior. The Obi should be at the front too so that all 3 major groups are duly acknowledged.

I wonder how the federal govt decided that Ooni & Sultan are the most senior.

Politics › 2019: Kannywood Group Declares Support For Atiku by BeautifulMind2(op): 6:30pm On Nov 05, 2018
A group under the aegis of Kannywood Initiative Door-2-Door for Atiku 2019 has declared support for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
The group made the declaration through its National Coordinator, Mikail Isah Bn Hassan in an exclusive interview with Daily Trust in Jos on Monday.Hassan, a popular director and actor, said their group took the decision to support Atiku because Buhari has failed in providing good governance, security adding that Atiku has what it takes to take Nigeria out of its economic quagmire.
Hassan, popularly known as ‘Gidigo’ in Kannywood explained another reason his group wouldn’t support Buhari was his inability to assist filmmakers despite playing a vital role in bringing him as the president in 2015.He said, “We established our group to make Nigerians understand the qualities of Atiku and because Buhari has neglected filmmakers despite what they did for him in 2015.”
Gidigo boasted that Atiku has policies and programmes that would provide jobs for the teaming youths, improve the economy and filmmakers would also benefit from his policies.
“So far, we have state coordinators in the 19 northern states and each coordinator has eight people that would assist him in taking decisions in his state.
“We also have coordinators in each local government of 19 northern states, averagely so far, we have about 300,000 members that would go the nook and cranny of the north to campaign for Atiku,” he said.
Gidigo disclosed that some of the filmmakers and musicians in the group included famous actors, Sani Danja, Bashir Nayaya, Isah Ferozkhan, Ummi Zee-Zee, Zaharaddeen Sani, director, Fati Lamaj, and musician Abubakar Sani.
Others included, director Al’Amin Ciroma, producer and actor, Salisu Mu’azu, producer, Usman Mu’azu, director, Hafizu Bello and comedian actor, Mustapha Naburaska among others.
He said, “We took it upon ourselves that we would market Atiku on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and we would also do door-to-door campaign for Atiku.”

Alaba International Market. It’s the largest electronics market in West Africa. It’s 10,000 merchants, they do about four billion dollars of turnover every year. And they say they are ardent apostles of Adam Smith: competition is great, we’re all in it individually, government doesn’t help us. But the interesting reality is that when I asked further, that’s not what grew the market at all.

Igbo apprenticeship system that governs Alaba Int’l Market is the largest business incubator platform in the world” Robert Neuwirth

This is the full video of the TED talk on Igbo apprenticeship system which I wrote
here. The TED Speaker, Robert Neuwirth, made a strong case and concluded thus: “And I can say with almost certainty that the Igbo apprenticeship system that governs Alaba International Market is the largest business incubator platform in the world.” The full transcript of the section of interest is below for those saving mobile credit.
[b]So the interesting thing is that this mutual aid economy still exists, and we can find examples of it in the strangest places. So, this is Alaba International Market. It’s the largest electronics market in West Africa. It’s 10,000 merchants, they do about four billion dollars of turnover every year. And they say they are ardent apostles of Adam Smith: competition is great, we’re all in it individually, government doesn’t help us. [/b]But the interesting reality is that when I asked further, that’s not what grew the market at all. There’s a behind-the-scenes principle that enables this market to grow. And they do claim — you know, this is an interesting juxtaposition of the King James Bible and “How To Sell Yourself.” That’s what they say is their message. But in reality, this market is governed by a sharing principle. Every merchant, when you ask them, “How did you get started in global trade?” they say, “Well, when my master settled me.” And when I finally got it into my head to ask, “What is this ‘settling?'” it turns out that when you’ve done your apprenticeship with someone you work for, they are required — required — to set you up in business. That means paying your rent for two or three years and giving you a cash infusion so you can go out in the world and start trading. That’s locally generated venture capital. Right? And I can say with almost certainty that the Igbo apprenticeship system that governs Alaba International Market is the largest business incubator platform in the world.

Politics › Re: 'Obasanjo May Withdraw His Support For Atiku' - Anthony Sani by BeautifulMind2: 12:31pm On Nov 05, 2018

POLITICSNGR

The Arewa Consultative Forum(ACF) has disclosed that Forer president, Olusegun Obasanjo may withdraw his support for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar before the 2019 elections, PoliticsNGR has learned.

Secretary-General of the forum, Anthony Sani  told Independent on Sunday;

“Former President Obasanjo is a factor in national politics having governed the country under both military and democracy. His commitment to one united Nigeria cannot be taken away from him, but whether such attributes can translate into electoral value is in doubt. More so that Obasanjo has been a product beyond himself.

“When the late Murtala Muhammed was assassinated in 1976, the military hierarchy at that time asked Obasanjo to take over as Head of State.

“It was not his efforts that got him the position. Also in 1999, the retired Generals and Northern leaders went and brought him out and made him the president. These are not his personal efforts. So, Obasanjo is a product of forces beyond him.”

He pointed out that despite Obasanjo's endorsement, the Atiku camp is not rejoicing yet because the former could change his mind at any moment.

“As to whether Nigerians will pander to the former president’s endorsement of the presidential candidate of the main opposition party is also in doubt, precisely because of his inconsistency that does not accommodate conviction and vision expected of a statesman of his status.

“Consider the former president tore his party card of PDP and wrote off both APC and PDP as unserviceable. He then formed a nonpartisan Coalition Movement which he later transmuted to a political party called ADC against his earlier ‘new year resolution’ not to be partisan.

“Former President Obasanjo said God would not forgive him if he endorsed his former VP for president, only for him to now leave his ADC and endorse Atiku.

“I believe not only Nigerians but even Atiku himself cannot bask in the glow of the endorsement by Obasanjo out of the fear that the manifest inconsistency can make him change his mind before the elections,” he said.

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has urged the presidential candidate of the People Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar to remain focused and not be distracted by comments from agents of opposition parties.
National President of the AYCF, Yerima Shettima, who gave the admonition while speaking to newsmen at the weekend in Kaduna said the Wazirin Adamawa has demonstrated that he is a formidable candidate as he has already been making intelligent contributions in the search for solution to the nation’s present level of unprecedented hardship.
He said, “All those within the ruling APC who are attacking Atiku are trying to divert attention from the dismal performance of the APC at the Federal, State and even Local Government levels, where stagnation has taken over the dividends of democracy”.

Shettima said recent reports about Atiku’s plan to cut down on the price of petroleum products should be commended for addressing what would be of benefit to the common man.
He said, “We support any effort to reduce the cost of living for Nigerians and we will pray for him to succeed on this too”.

Alhaji Shettima also assured the former VP that he would massively mobilize support for the PDP presidential candidate in the north.

Business › Two Foreign Banks Shut Down Nigerian Operations by BeautifulMind2(op): 2:13pm On Nov 03, 2018
The Central Bank of Nigeria on Friday said two foreign banks, HSBC and UBS, have closed their offices in Nigeria.
The CBN also revealed that foreign investment had fallen sharply from a year ago as FDI slumped to N379.84 billion ($1.2 billion) in the first half of the year from N532.63 billion ($1.7 billion) a year earlier.
The apex bank also said that the outlook for the Nigerian economy in the second half was “optimistic” given increase in global oil prices and production.
It added however that rising foreign debt and uncertainty surrounding the 2019 presidential election was a drawback.
Reuters reports that investor confidence in Africa’s biggest economy has been shaken since the CBN got entangled in an alleged illegal repatriation of funds battle with telecom giant, MTN Nigeria.
The CBN had in August ordered MTN to bring back $8.1 billion to the country, part of profits which the South African telecoms firm sent abroad. The Nigerian government also slammed the company an additional tax levy. Both parties are now seeking mutually beneficial resolution.
The apex bank, however, did not give reasons for the shut down of operations of the two foreign banks in its report.
HSBC has however been at loggerheads with the Nigerian government lately.
In July, a research note by the the bank said a second term for President Muhammadu Buhari “raises the risk of limited economic progress and further fiscal deterioration, prolonging the stagnation of his first term, particularly if there is no move towards completing reform of the exchange rate system or fiscal adjustments that diversify government revenues away from oil.”
The government in its reaction had contested and dismissed the bank’s claims.
Meanwhile, the central bank also said three lenders failed to meet its minimum liquidity ratio of 30 per cent. It however did not name the lenders, adding that non-performing loans (NPLs) have dropped to 12.4 per cent as at June 2018 from 15 per cent a year ago.
The figure is still a long way above its 5 percent threshold, it said.
“To further consolidate on the improvement, the Central Bank of Nigeria directed banks to intensify efforts at debt recovery, realisation of collateral for lost facilities and strengthening their risk management processes,” the report said.
Two months ago, the apex bank withdrew the license of Skye Bank for failing to recapitalise. It transferred Skye’s assets to a “bridge bank”, Polaris.
Polaris has since begun operation.
