A beg I thought you something serious to say ency-7-reasons-respect-peter-obi/

Thats from legit.ng but if you ask me, there's even more:

He was the one and only governor to have a State Assembly with majority from an opposition Party and yet survived and performed for not just 4 years but a full 8 years.

He was one of the only two governors that left huge amount of money in the State coffers despite inheriting huge debts. The other governor was Musa Yaradua (Katsina State)

He was neither invited nor prosecuted by the EFCC after leaving office despite not being in the ruling political party.

He is one of the very few ex-governors that's not collecting pension from the State.

He was one of the few politicians who drummed up support for the EndSARS movement

He's gotten Man of the Year Awards from notable Newspapers/News Media Outlets such as Sun, Thisday, Silverbird, Leadership. [/quote]

Politics / Re: Why FG Closed Nigeria’s Borders — CG Customs, Hameed Ali by biookuta(m): 4:06am On Sep 27, 2019
Fully in support of this policy because importation kills home business and turn the country in to dumping ground,any time a country import goods it also import unemployment and provide job for the country where it importing so its high time to belief in our selvesuthor=Busy002 post=82596994]The closure of Nigeria’s borders by Federal Government was undertaken to strengthen the nation’s security and protect its economic interests, the Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), retired Col. Hameed Ali, has said.

Speaking during a meeting with border stakeholders, comprising freight forwarders and security agencies on Thursday at Seme, Ali said that the closure was not intended to hurt anyone but to protect the nations interests.



“Our interest is to make sure that our country is secure, the well-being of our people is ensured and our economy is secure.

“The step we have taken is in the interest of Nigeria, the step is not to hurt anybody but to protect our own interests as a nation,” he said.

News9naija reports that Ali was accompanied at the meeting by Nigeria’s Ambassador to Benin Republic, Kayode Oguntuase, Comptroller General Immigration, Mohammed Babandede and Brig. Gen. E.A Ndagi, Coordinator of Joint Border Security Exercise, among others.



The NCS boss said that lots of things had gone wrong regarding compliance with transit of goods, adding that the border closure was to ensure that things were streamlined so that all stakeholders could be back to doing the right things.

“The idea is to ensure that the protocol that is involved in transit of goods and trade facilitation is adhered to so that we will all live and complement each other.

“The operation is undertaken to ensure that we get things back in perspective; we know the right thing, it is well written, we are all aware of it, we used to practise it, so we must go back to that.



Ali said that the freight forwarders were critical stakeholders at the borders and urged them to ensure compliance with the rules regarding transit of goods.

“We cannot do business without you but compliance is lacking between you and our officers. Most of the things we do, we don’t comply with rules and that’s why we end up with weapons, Tramadol that killed our children.

“We end up with ammunition that bandits use to kill our people; we don’t manufacture ammunition in this country, if we do it is only from one source and that source is well protected and documented.

“But today, we have seen many of this ammunition in Nigeria, where are they coming from.

“They have compromised with some of us and some of you and I say to our officers; that weapons, that bullets you facilitate in transiting into Nigeria, you don’t know who will take it.

“The bandits, the armed robbers had no choice, your mother, my children, your sisters might be shot by that weapon,” the customs boss said.

He called for support and cooperation of the stakeholders to ensure the nation is protected.

“We need your support, we need your cooperation and understanding, our national interest is over and above any issue,” he said.

NEWS9NAIJA reports that the joint-border security exercise, code-named ‘Ex-Swift Response’, which was ordered by the Federal Government, commenced on Aug. to secure Nigeria’s land and maritime borders.

master of corruption civil servants are paid 7k minimum wage so nothing special in saraki
Awol1:


Saraki is the greatest man yet, to ever occupy the position of the Senate presidency of Nigeria.

An intelligent guy.

A presidential material.

The APC propagandists are trying so hard to wear the tag of corruption on Saraki, just like Atiku is wearing.

But Saraki will be back. He's too young and too tactical to be gone.

Oloye! You got a fan in me.
Business / Re: Naira Climbs To N360.55/$ As CBN Injects $210 Million by biookuta(m): 6:18am On Apr 10, 2019
We shall also be great by God's grace ote author=Onyemadonald post=77411660]The naira yesterday appreciated to N360.55 per dollar in the Investors and Exporters (I&E) window even as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) injected N210 million into the inter-bank foreign exchange market.

Figures obtained from the CBN yesterday showed that authorized dealers in the wholesale segment of the market received $100 million, while the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) segment and customers requiring foreign exchange for invisibles were allocated $55 million each.

A statement by the apex bank’s spokesman, Mr. Isaac Okorafor reiterated the CBN’s commitment to continue to boost interbank foreign exchange market to ensure liquidity and stability in the market. Data from FMDQ showed that the indicative exchange rate for the I&E window dropped to N360.55 per dollar from N360.68 per dollar on Monday, translating to 13 kobo appreciation for the naira.

The volume of dollars (turnover) traded yesterday dropped by 50 percent to $132.88 million from $88.79million sold on Monday. The naira, however, was stable at N358.7 in the parallel market.

[Hon Shared should be careful on how he wanted to play his politics in the house :-Xquote author=bilms post=77235831]Kwara Speakership: Don't be greedy and desperate like Saraki - Group warns Popoola

by Jerrywright Ukwu
- The race for the Speakership of the Kwara state House of Assembly continues to generate tension

- A group, Kwara Must Change, has warned Honourable Saheed Popoola to be cautious in his quest to emerge the Speaker

- The group advised the lawmaker not to be greedy and desperate like the outgoing Senate president, Bukola Saraki

A group, Kwara Must Change, has warned Honourable Saheed Popoola to be cautious in his quest to emerge the Kwara state House of Assembly Speaker.

The group accused one Abiola Faronbi of using its name to endorse the Popoola, under a non existing group he described as Kwara Must Change Forum.

The group said there is no group known as Kwara Must Change Forum, adding that the name was recently created to impersonate Kwara Must Change, “in a desperate attempt to misconstrue our position on the matter of Kwara Speakership.”

In a statement sent to Legit.ng on Tuesday, April 2 by the spokesman of the group, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, Kwara Must Change said: “We totally condemn the impersonation of Kwara Must Change by this desperate character.

“It is a known fact, that there is no group known as Kwara Must Change Forum. That shady name was recently created to impersonate our group, Kwara Must Change in a desperate attempt to misconstrue our position on the matter of Kwara Speakership, which will by the grace of God, go to Kwara north as fairness dictates.

“Our position is very clear and unambiguous on the position of Speaker and we have stated it repeatedly that our support is for Kwara north and Kwara north alone.

“Hon Saheed Popoola is a respected figure whom we hold in high esteem, but his quest to usurp the Speakership position from the rightful people in total neglect for the principal of fairness will hurt him more than anyone else in the future. In his own interest, we advise him to retrace his steps and back down.

“This attitude of the powerful and influential, using their privilege to cheat on the weak and less powerful, to our understanding is a Bukola Saraki style that we must never allow to take the centre stage in a liberated Kwara and should Hon. Saheed Popoola decides to become another Bukola Saraki, he may eventually end up like him.

“We do not want this to happen to Hon Saheed, hence the advice. Those around him may not be courageous enough to tell him the truth, but we owe him nothing but the truth.”

[Tottenham 2 _man u 1uthor=iwaeda post=74697465]e Gunnar Solskjaer is confident Manchester United can line up to attack Tottenham without being naive defensively ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash.

United have won all of their five matches since the Norewegian was appointed until the end of the season in the wake of Jose Mourinho's sacking, but the new boss faces his biggest test so far as his side travel to Wembley to face the team sitting third in the league.

The Old Trafford side appear to have found a good balance under Solskjaer, scoring 16 times and conceding just three since his arrival in December.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting XI for Manchester United clash with Tottenham Hotspur pretty much writes itself.
That the Norwegian, after just five games, has found his best team already demonstrates the sheer contrast with the toxicity of Jose Mourinho, who never trusted his players enough to cultivate ‘first choice’ group of players.
He would have worked on a number of key principles during Man United’s time in Dubai ahead of meeting Mauricio Pochettino’s side. The front three of Jesse Lingard,
Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford will be expected to deliver a fast, precise approach in the final third.
With that in mind, here is how we think United will line up for Tottenham on Sunday.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Petrol Now N1,204 Per Litre From #480 In Zimbabwe by biookuta(m): 5:08pm On Jan 13, 2019
At least every body should be buying at flat rate be You whom
chieyine:
@Naija Politico

A massive hike of 240 per cent in the prices of petrol and diesel goes into effect today in Zimbabwe.

Petrol was selling for 1.32 dollars (N481) per litre before Sunday’s hike. Now, it will be sold at $3.31 per litre.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa announced the increases Saturday night.

He said the prices were predicated on the prevailing rate of 1:1 between the U.S. dollar and the surrogate bond note.

Mnangagwa revealed the increases to journalists at the State House ahead of his tour of Eastern Europe and Switzerland.

He said: “The government has today decided on the following corrective measures, with effect from midnight tonight, fuel pump price of $3.11 per litre for diesel and $3.31 for petrol will come into effect.” (In naira terms petrol is N1204 per litre and diesel N1135).

“Guests of government by way of foreign missions, other registered foreign bodies and tourists will fuel and refuel at designated points at the price of 1.24 U.S. dollars per litre for diesel and 1.32 U.S. dollars per litre for petrol upon production of proper identification documents,” Mnangagwa said.

The fuel price increases coincided with government’s decision that the country will have its own currency within 12 months, thus jettisoning the US dollar.

Zimbabwean Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube said adopting the U.S. dollar or the South African rand would not solve the country’s macro-economic problems.

Asked to give a timeline on when local currency would be reintroduced, Ncube said it would be done “in less than 12 months.”

He said separating the parity between Real Time Gross Settlement accounts (RTGS) and foreign currency accounts (FCA) was the beginning of currency reforms which are necessary for pushing the country’s economy in the right direction.

“Our job is to introduce a currency that will be stable and less volatile. Dealing with the fiscal side is the first order to move towards a stable currency,” Ncube said.

Zimbabwe adopted the use of multi-currencies in 2009 after its local currency had been rendered worthless by hyperinflation.

To relieve cash shortages, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe introduced the bond note in late 2016.

Initially pegged at 1:1 against the U.S. dollar when it was introduced, the bond note, however, has gradually lost value against the real currency and is now trading at about one-third the value of the U.S. dollar.
