Total E&P Nigeria Limited has put the value of its total investment in the Nigerian economy in the last five years at $10 billion.

The Executive General Manager, CSR, Mr. Vincent Nnadi, said this at the Total Business Sustenance for New Entrepreneurs Graduation ceremony that took place in Abuja.

Nnadi, in an interview, disclosed that the oil and gas conglomerate was also planning projects worth $16 billion and plans to use mostly local skills and talents in order to continue its fight against unemployment.


“We have for the first time recorded a high level of local content on this project and 77 per cent of it is fabricated in Nigeria,” Nnadi explained.

“It is a very large contribution to the economy and will be using local expertise.

“We have a very strong cooperative social responsibility.

“We have to support our society to progress by helping to solve some of the societal problem. One of these major problems is the issue of unemployment.”

On the skills acquisition training in conjunction with Toncia Energy Consulting and Professional Services Limited, Nnadi said the company would be monitoring the trainees to ensure smooth transitioning from training to practice.

“This is the second level of skills training we are doing. The first level was basic skill acquisition.

“We mentor them and will expose them backing them up with microfinance.

“We are also working with some banks to financially support some of the best business plans and even creating market opportunities for them.

“We will continue to monitor them along with Toncia Energy to make sure they are actually practicing what they have studied.”

One of the trainees of the program, Christiana Titus, expressed her gratitude to Total.

The federal government said poorest Nigerian families will get N5,000 each as it prepares to share $500m Abacha loot.

How will they identify these poor Nigerians? Is this not another way of relooting the loot?

2019: The Real Reason Igbos ‘ll Massively Vote For Buhari – Orji Kalu Reveals

Former of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has assured his party members that come 2019 election, there must be a change of party in Abia state. He said that PDP has failed the people of Abia State and its time for the masses to come together and send them back home. He also revealed that President Buhari loves Ndigbo because he is doing what former presidents Obasanjo, late Yaradua and Goodluck Jonathan could not do for Ndi Igbo when they ruled the country.

Kalu stated this today during a meeting with top APC stakeholders in Abia state held at his Igbere country home, Camp Neya.

According to him…

” Come rain, come shine, there must be a change of party in Abia. Abia belongs to APC because we can’t be where our President is not. Our party is committed to free education, we are committed to paying pensioners their their money, we are committed to free health care, we are committed to all those things because they are things that make democracy to be.”

“It painful that Abia State government cannot pay workers their salary, they can’t pay secondary and primary schools teachers their salary. They cannot pay pensioners what is due to them. That’s not what modern democracy stands for. Modern democracy stands for equity, justice, fairness.”

” I was governor for 8 years, we paid civil servants their salaries, we paid local government workers their salaries, we paid pensioners and everybody what is due for them. ”

“Modern democracy no longer operates in our state and it’s very sad. That’s why APC has come to save our people. The power to make this happen depend on you people. Go and get your voters card to change this PDP government in our state.”

“When you elect people during the primaries into various positions, whether as governor or House of Representatives or Senator, you should elect people that will be able contend with these people base on popularity and capability, so that our people will not suffer again. ”

” When you elect people who are not qualified, because they gave you money, you will suffer for it for good four years. So, don’t make mistakes by electing people who will embezzle your money

“President Buhari is doing a lot of work which PDP didn’t do in their 16 years of ruling this country. The second Niger Bridge is being constructed by him, this shows that he is competent to rule this country.”

“Our South East governors promised to build the second Niger Bridge but they didn’t do it . Obasanjo promised and failed. Goodluck Jonathan promised to do it but he did not care to build the bridge for Ndigbo. I don’t know why people will say that Buhari hates the Igbos because I know Buhari very well. He is a friend to Ndigbo. Am I not friend to President Buhari? I am very close to Buhari and I know that come 2019 election, Abia State will give President Buhari 75 percent of their votes “.

Kalu also said that the hate speech on the social media needs to stop because it is making Nigeria to look like a bad nation.

” No matter how bad the country is, Nigeria remains our country and there is no other place we can run to. President Buhari doesn’t have house in America or Germany. He only has a house in Daura and we should respect him him for that, we should stop calling our leaders names on social media and painting our country bad before the world.”

Ivynwa: This post is missing some elements.
The way it started showed that there's no good relationship between poster and her sister in laws. Why isn't there peace and love (same love that you have for your own sisters) between you and your SILS? If they are not as mature as you are,it isn't impossible to exercise patience with them and cunningly yet wisely get all of you to be on friendly terms. It will be a lovely thing if you and those SILS are great friends that gist, relates good, share and laugh etc

If you are in good/sweet terms with those girls, it won't irk you one bit that they take food from the pot without telling you first. The reason that got to you is because there is animosity going on already. It is not healthy to have such persons that you are not on good terms with in your home in the first place, as she is your SIL and should you have made effort to relate good and did not succeed with that you can't refuse her entrance in her brother's house but you shouldn't have allowed her get to you to that extent knowing that it will all go down if you do. See the mess (the brewing animosity between you and the SIL)caused, you were so caught up with putting her in her position and paying her back in her animosity coins that you all mashed on your marriage which you should have guarded against.

I am sure that when your sister or your mother or your mother-in-law are in your house that they don't come running to take permission to get food. Why do your SILS need to come and get permission to get food? How about if the person is very hungry and you gave such a portion that wasn't enough, I guess the person should return to you and tell you that she wants some more food. When they come visiting on a day you are at work or out of the house, shouldn't they eat? Should they come and tell you at work or call you first to let you know that they want to eat? How does that make you feel being in such mundane/trifle control of ordinary food? Do they have to tell you when they want water and juice too? Why not? These girls may have been visiting your husband/their brother when you were not married to him and may have cooked and served themselves, now that you are married to their brother do you have to alienate them like that? Put yourself in their position and see whether you will like to be treated like that.

I am not supporting the way your husband is getting on with it if he got violent on you. I am not supporting that your sister in law should do "don't u know who we are" for you. You just didn't handle things good and they got out of hand, so tell me how will all of you be looking like talking to relatives(called to be peacemakers) and getting on and on about-------"She went and took food without telling me"---"She stopped eating my food"------"Husband collected the food and gave to her to feed so and so"-----"They were lying on my bed" etc etc (if you are friends with them, you all can chill on your bed and chat and laugh and it won't matter when they sleep on your bed)

Girl pull yourself together and find peace among you all, soft words achieve a lot. Use the wiles of womanhood that you have in you and you will be amazed at how peaceful everything will be.If you make that effort and the SILs are not co-operating, you now have the good sense to not let them get to you because your marriage is important to you. How did a foody issue get so blown up that you are now getting on like "somebody may leave in a stretcher" if your child gets taken from you? Who is taking your child woman, please chill and see how you can turn things around for good. Which man will feel happy and comfortable when the wife is alienating his sisters in his home? You sure have issues here, issues you and your SILs contributed to. Try correcting the issues dear and voila! there is peace in your home. You can do that!

jennykadry: ^^You are crazy. Infact devil punish you the next time you mention "apologise". A man physically hurt his wife who just put to bed recently and you are here telling her she wasn't diplomatic. Thunder blend your nyash like cray fish diaaaaa. EEDIOT oshi, ewu ocha, anu mpam.
