Nigeria Should Establish Youth Government. Where Every State Government In Nigeria Has An Officially Accepted Youth Leader Down To The Local Government To The Council Wards

JusticeSeeker:
can you substantiate this bogus assertion you've made? how many months did his predecessor leave when the allocation coming the Federal government was huge and how much is this man of God you're castigating receiving that has made you to make this baseless claim?

YOU ARE VERY SILLY. YOU CANNOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNREPENTANT AND A BORE AGAIN YET YOU ARE CALLING YOURSELF A MAN OF GOD. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUSWAM AND ORTOM ADMINISTRATION?

This man of God is making Benue hell for indigenes

There are strong indications that the Benue State government may reduce the salary of workers in order to cope with the huge wage bill hanging on the neck of the administration.
Governor Samuel Ortom gave this hint on Wednesday, during the inauguration of the board of civil service commission, declaring that the huge wage bill coupled with economic recession had compounded the challenges of his administration.
As of the time of filing this report, the state is owing five months salaries to its state workers, while local government workers are being owed six months salaries.
The governor, who lamented the huge wage bill which he put at N7.8 billion monthly including local government workers, pension allowances and monthly overhead, however, submitted that ‘retrenchment is not an option’.
“The past administration in its own wisdom raised the wage bill which shows that what a civil servant in Benue earns doubles what his counterpart earns in neighbouring states like Imo or Nasarawa states.
“Even most states who enjoy 13 per cent derivation still owe backlog of salaries, though, retrenchment is not in mind, but very soon, we will hold stakeholders’ meeting to look at what we can do, after all, Nasarawa has reverted,” he disclosed.
The governor charged the newly inaugurated members of civil service commission to work hard and sanitise the state civil service for better productivity.
He also charged them to be fair in their dealings in the affairs of promotion, discipline and other responsibilities as dictates by their duty.
The chairman of the board, Professor Jerry Agada, a former minister of state for education under the Yar ‘Adua promised that the members would not betray the confidence reposed in them.

hmmmm the game of trust. the age where the elders are no longer trust worthy

that is wonderful change begins with the Nigerian army

why telling us? you get mouth to talk, get power to fight them too

A 35-year-old man, Ejike Onyejekwe, has been killed in the FESTAC Town area of Lagos State. PUNCH Metro learnt that the victim, who lived on 21 Road, K Close, FESTAC, was stabbed to death after winning a lot of money from a lottery. Our correspondent gathered that Onyejekwe, to celebrate the winning, bought drinks for his friends and threw a party last Thursday and Friday.
It was learnt that on Friday evening, he was heard arguing with an unidentified person on the phone. He allegedly told his friend he was going to see the man, but never returned. His corpse was allegedly discovered the next day on one of the estates. A resident, who did not want to be identified, said the chairman of the estate called the attention of residents to the corpse on Saturday. He said, “I was sipping tea around 7am when I heard the chairman blowing a whistle. I thought it was strange, but my wife called my attention to the surging crowd on the estate. “I went downstairs and saw the corpse on the road. Like everybody, I was alarmed. We could not tell how the corpse got there or who he was. He had multiple stab injuries in the head. We all resolved that the case should be reported at the FESTAC Police Station.” It was learnt that some of the victim’s friends later identified him. The corpse was said to have been deposited in a morgue, while the police arrested and detained the chairman of the estate and his secretary; they were later released. A source told PUNCH Metro that the victim won a lottery few days to his death. He said, “The man won a lot of money in a lottery and from last Thursday to Friday, he was asking his friends to drink at his expense. “He was called on the phone that Friday evening and he went to meet a man. I suspect that a gang stabbed him and used an object to hit him in the head. There were bruises on his knees and it appeared they dragged him on the floor as well. “When the police were removing his corpse, blood was dripping from his mouth and nostrils. He was murdered in cold blood.” A friend of the victim, who did not identify himself, said his relative had visited the community. “I can’t say why he was killed. Nobody knows. He just returned from a visit to the village,” he added. The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident, adding that the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba. She added that the police had already arrested two suspects in connection with the death. She said, “The chairman of one of the estates reported that at about 7am, he woke up and saw the victim lying lifeless with injuries on his head and body. The corpse was deposited at the Isolo General Hospital Mortuary for autopsy. Two suspects, Suleiman Ahmed and Ibrahim Yusuf, were arrested and the case transferred to the SCIID for further investigation.”

THE Borno State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Kaka Lawan, said on Tuesday that Boko Haram was a creation of the factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ali Modu Sheriff. Lawan, who spoke at the ongoing 56th Annual Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association in Port Harcourt, explained that the insecurity created by Sheriff in Borno few years ago metamorphosed into Boko Haram. Calling for the arrest and prosecution of the factional chairman of the PDP, Lawan specifically said that bad governance and impunity reigned during Sheriff’s administration as the governor of the state between 2003 and 2011. Ads by Google Ad covers the page Stop seeing this ad He added that the creation of the Ministry of Religious Affairs by the then Sheriff administration in Borno and the killing of the head of the ministry in the 2009 turmoil worsened the level of insecurity in the state. “Ali Modu Sheriff was a former governor of Borno State for eight years and left the state in a state of insecurity. “The issue that happened in Borno, the insecurity that brought us to this situation we are in, was as a result of bad governance, illiteracy, lack of respect for the rule of law, impunity in the administration of Ali Modu Sheriff and the Federal Government then did not checkmate his excesses and it escalated to this level. “Up to today, he is moving freely and nobody is talking to him. All hands must be on deck, if actually justice must be done to the hundreds of people that were killed in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “He (Sheriff) should be arrested. He should be investigated. He should be interrogated for the facts that we have just mentioned in Port Harcourt here. His records were known to everybody, even to you media men. “The Federal Government is aware; the state government is aware; you media men are aware. They are not only facts; they are notorious facts. All and sundry are aware. “Can he deny that fact that he was a governor between 2003 and 2011? Can he deny that Muhammed Yusuf freely operated between 2003 and 2009 and the aberration laws he passed?” Lawan queried. But Sheriff has dismissed the allegation by the commissioner, saying Lawan was not sincere and that he was acting the script allegedly written by Governor Kashim Shettima. Sheriff, who spoke through his Special Adviser of Media, Mallam Inuwa Bwala, said that the commissioner should look inward to the government to enable him to know those behind the Boko Haram menace in the state. He said, “The commissioner is talking rubbish. He’s acting the script of his governor. Sheriff made the governor what he is today. “Those who are making the allegation should know that three of his (Sheriff) brothers were killed by Boko Haram, his family is being threatened by the Boko Haram. “The AGF’s predecessor died in circumstances not clear. What killed him and who killed him? The people are suspecting who is behind the killing. I pity him, he doesn’t know what he is talking about. He is serving in a government that created and funded Boko Haram.” source: punchng.com

By Peter Egwuatu, with agency reports Naira, yesterday, appreciated by 3.52 per cent to close at N315.93 to a dollar at the interbank market, prompting calls for foreign investors to take advantage of the appreciation. However, the naira suffered a loss in value as it depreciated at the parallel market to trade at N402 per dollar, weaker than N397 it traded at its previous session as dollar shortages gripped the official market. The naira, which hit fresh record low since the central bank floated the currency on the official inter-bank market in June, first touched N400 on the black market this month. On the inter-bank market yesterday, no trade was posted until three minutes before the end of the session, when the central bank which has been reducing its dollar sales, intervened, traders said. Only three deals worth $0.75 million were traded at 305.50 per dollar, a level the market has closed at since Monday. Specifically, according to Bloomberg, in the last two weeks, Exotix Partners LLP and Standard Bank Group Ltd. have told clients; most of who fled after the country started imposing capital controls from late 2014, that they should start buying naira assets again. The naira which has been the worst-performing currency this year among more than 150 globally has depreciated 37 percent against the dollar since the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN abandoned its peg on June 20, while bond yields have jumped to more than 20 percent. The naira strengthened 4.6 percent to 315 per dollar on Tuesday after falling to a record 350.25 on August 19, 2016. “The cheap naira is attracting foreign investors,” said Lutz Roehmeyer, a money manager at Landesbank Berlin Investment, which oversees about $12 billion of assets. “At 325 per dollar, the naira is too weak” and Landesbank anticipates a rebound, he said. Roehmeyer’s funds have doubled their holdings of naira debt, albeit in the form of bonds issued by the World Bank’s International Finance Corp. rather than the Nigerian government, to the equivalent of around $9.2 million this month, he said. The CBN fixed the currency in February 2015 at 197-199 per dollar to stop it plunging amid the decline in the price of oil, on which Nigeria depends for 90 percent of exports and the bulk of government revenue. He relented after 16 months as the country stumbled toward a recession and foreign reserves fell to their lowest level in 11 years. The naira has now weakened more than any other major oil currency since mid-2014, when crude prices started retreating. It’s lost almost half its value against the dollar in that period, compared with 46 percent for Kazakhstan’s tenge and 35 percent for the Colombian peso. That makes it a good time to buy Nigerian one-year Treasury bills with yields of about 22 percent, Stuart Culverhouse, chief economist at Exotix in London, wrote in an Aug. 9 note. The potential return is more than 33 percent if the naira strengthens to its fair value of 290 against the greenback, he said. In April, one-year T-bills yielded just 10 percent. Oil Production The trade is not for everyone, given Nigeria’s outlook. The economy will shrink 1.8 percent this year, its first contraction since at least 1991, the International Monetary Fund forecasts. Oil production has sunk to a near three-decade low of about 1.5 million barrels a day as militants attack pipelines and export terminals in the south of the country. While Landesbank Berlin and Exotix say the currency has fallen enough, others aren’t convinced. The naira will weaken to 396 by year-end and 515 by the second quarter of 2017, according to Access Bank Plc, Nigeria’s fourth-biggest lender. Forward prices also predict worse to come. Three-month non-deliverable forwards trade at 357 to the dollar, and one-year contracts at 394. The median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg survey is for the currency to stabilize at 344 this year. Sidelines Preferred “The combination of a cheaper naira and higher yields on naira paper are tempting, but we remain comfortable on the sidelines,” Brett Rowley, a managing director at Los Angeles- based TCW Group Inc., which oversees $195 billion of assets, said in an e-mailed response to questions on Aug. 16. “Restoring oil output would help assuage our concerns.” Investors are also yet to be convinced that the naira truly floats. The central bank sold dollars at 309 last week and may be trying to keep the rate stronger than 320, according to Craig Thompson of Continental Capital Markets SA, based in Nyon, Switzerland. The naira trades at 395 on the black market, 20 percent weaker than the official rate. “The exchange rate is closer to fair value in the eyes of most investors,” said Andrew Howell, a New York- based frontier-markets analyst at Citigroup Inc., the world’s biggest foreign-exchange trader. “But there still aren’t many inflows. You can’t really call it a normally-functioning exchange rate yet.” Mitigating Risk Bottom of Form Still, bond investors are closer to pulling the trigger than they have been in more than a year. They’d be even more confident if they were able to mitigate the risk of further depreciation by buying the naira- settled futures that Nigeria introduced in June, according to Stephen Bailey-Smith, senior economist at Copenhagen-based Denmark’s Global Evolution Fonds A/ S, which manages $3.2 billion of assets. Nigerian local-currency bonds have lost 17 percent in dollar terms this quarter, through yesterday, compared with the 3 percent average return for 31 developing nations monitored by Bloomberg indexes. The yield on benchmark government naira notes due January 2026 has climbed 226 basis points since June to 15.08 percent. “We haven’t come back in to the local market yet, but we’re looking at it closely,” Bailey-Smith said. “If you can get a yield above 20 percent and hedge the FX risk, it’s not a bad trade at all. The futures market is intended to help you do that, but it’s difficult to buy them.”

Kamarudeen Ogundele, Ado Ekiti The Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari for seeking emergency powers from the National Assembly to manage the economy. The party said it was a “clear manifestation of the clueless and confused nature” of the people at the helm of affairs. It also noted that such an “embarrassing and authoritarian demand” was an indication that the ruling All Progressives Congress is incapable of delivering on its promises and is therefore seeking excuses for its poor performance. The party also said Buhari’s demand was one of the ways APC seeks to hold Nigerians by the jugular, using state powers. The PDP, in a statement by its state Publicity Secretary, Mr. Jackson Adebayo, in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday, said, “Is it not dastardly for the President to say he is seeking emergency powers for his administration to handle the economy? “Then, what are the duties of those in the Finance Ministry and other sectors involved in the day-to-day management of the economy? If they are unproductive, why not send them away?” The party noted that the present situation also happened in the Second Republic when most of the states then used to receive zero allocation from the Federal Government. “The president then didn’t throw away the constitution to solve the problem; but rather constituted proactive economic team that brought the situation under control before the then General Muhammadu Buhari overthrew the government and dismantled the process, fostering hardship on Nigerians. While calling on the people to reject any attempt to turn the country into a republic where tyranny and dictatorship would reign supreme, PDP advised the Federal Government to return to the drawing board and seek protection from the constitution, rather than looking for a shortcut that would “bastardise democratic norms and tenets.”

I’ve always believed there’s no point hanging on to a dead marriage where both partners no longer see eye to eye. The few victims who’ve had the guts to pack such a marriage in have confessed to being relieved - and happy. Joy’s marriage was already on its back, with the hooves virtually in the air, when she told me she would rather be on her own than live with the ‘lodger’ her husband had turned into. Not one to act on impulse, I asked her to give such a hard decision a deep thought before she threw in the towel. love “It’s not as if I have children to consider,” she said. “I have only one daughter, and she’s in the university. Most of the time, I’m on my own whilst Cyril (the husband) lives his own life. He goes and comes as he pleases. Well, I want to do the same without being labelled adulterous! I feel I can work better and improve the quality of my life without a stressful marriage.” Her chance came when she heard on the grapevine that Cyril had been giving a lot of attention to Mubo. “She was his old flame, his ‘first love’ as he’s often bragged,” Joy explained. “And I’d had my suspicions that he was seeing her even before the rumours became rife. There wasn’t anything special about her and I have always found her dull and annoying, but they went way back. He even admitted visiting her now she was single again, but that they were just good friends. I didn’t really believe him and didn’t particularly care either. It was around this time that finishing touches were completed to the rundown bungalow I was refurbishing. I wanted to let it at first, but decided to move in with my daughter. My problem was selling the idea of our living happily apart to Cyril and I reckoned with lover girl on his mind, it would be easy. “Cyril wasn’’t buying any of that at first, but I explained I would rather be on my own and he needed to move on with his life. We both have good jobs and healthy investments so there were no financial obligations tying us down. I felt enormous relief after I left and was in the least surprised when Joy moved in with Cyril a few months later! We hadn’t even discussed getting a divorce. When next he visited our daughter and I teased him about it, he said he might have the traditional engagement ceremony with her. The gall of the man! But what was the point of getting angry with him? I’d moved on with my life, so should he. “Since there was no bitterness when we separated, he visited as often as he could to see our daughter and to sort out details of our divorce. He always loved a good gossip and with lots of news to swap on our friends, our conversation sparkled once more. I was in the kitchen preparing lunch one evening when he dropped by. He teased me as he often did and I laughed flirtatiously with him. For the first time in a long while, I took an interest in his tall physique and the chest hair peeping from his shirt. He was looking at me with the same lust, then we kissed. “Thank goodness our daughter was out as we made out on the settee! The passion between us hadn’t been this intense and frantic in years. ‘Hey, we could still rock together’, Cyril thrilled. We made love again - but it wasn’t the humdrum, tired’ marriage sex’ we used to have. This was raw and hungry, hard and fast. The sense of taboo and familiarity made it an explosive mix. Afterwards though, 1 refused to cuddle up to him so as not to confuse physical desire with love. Besides, I was enjoying being a free and single woman and had no desire to return to the straight jacket of our marriage. ‘I’m not planning on us coming back together,’ Cyril said sheepishly. ‘I wouldn’t want to hurt Joy.’ He was relieved when I smiled naughtily at him and teased him he was my bit-on- the-side now. That sort of set him off as he entered my bedroom and we were off again. He then freshened up and raced back to his ‘jailer’ while I lay in bed, grinning like the cat that got the milk! Sad boring Joy! I’d got one over on her. I’d proved I was still an attractive, passionate woman at 46 - and I had no qualms about the situation in the slightest. After all, what have I done but sleep with my own husband! Cyril couldn’t have felt too guilt-stricken either as he started visiting me whenever he knew our daughter was out. Each time, we wasted no time in getting down to business in the safety of my bedroom. Our hot and smoking romps continued as our divorce came through and didn’t stop after he and Joy married. Our illicit sex is still too exciting to both of us to give up. “Lately, he’s been grumbling he’s not happy with Joy. That’s no skin off my nose and I’m sure our affair doesn’t help. But do I feel guilty? No way! Do I wish them well in their marriage? Hell no! What did Cyril expect, marrying an old flame like her? He should have had enough sense that rekindling an old flame seldom works. As for me, I now have the best of both worlds. The freedom of living on my own - and the power of knowing Cyril can’t get enough of me. I won’t be giving that up in a hurry for anyone! Once in a while, I run into both of them at parties. Joy always looks a bit apprehensive when she sees me, and she believes she’s responsible for my broken marriage. It’s all I could do not to laugh out loud. Now that I’m my husband’s mistress, I’ve got my libido back! Let her be the one to lie awake nights, wondering why she’s not getting as much nookie as before!”

The Delta State University, Abraka, has sacked six of its lecturers for their involvement in several offences including alleged sexual harassment of female students. The University Governing Council at 97th regular meeting held on Friday, August 12, 2016, affirmed their sack after a disciplinary committee set up to investigate the allegations against them recommended their dismissal having found them culpable. Investigations revealed that the sacked lecturers were also involved financial extortion for marks, leaking of examination questions and other corrupt offences.

reopen the unresolved case of the
“missing $12.4bn oil windfall.”
According to the group, the money
was spent between 1988 and 1993 by

“Reopening the case would also send
