This is a great move by President Tinubu! Establishing the FCTA Youth Secretariat shows he is truly invested in the future of our young people. Empowering the youth is key to national development. Let's see how this initiative unfolds!



Please what will be the work of that youth ministry and how many persons will be employed in it and what will their job functions be?

GanagiBitrus:
Tinubu must do everything to avert protests. A hungry man is an angry man.

I still believe Nigeria is rich enough to subsidise fuel, if Govt cuts down on cost of governance and effectively fights corruption.


The Nigerian Government does not need to subsidize it. What is needed is that the REFINERIES are put in proper working order, functional and operational. If they can't do that then we don't need a Minister of Petroleum, we don't need people whom the government claim are working in NNPC and in the REFINERIES that refines absolutely nothing.


Modified:
When we have functional and operational REFINERIES, then the FG government ensures that the BPD of CRUDE OIL is increased exponentially and add more derivatives. Encourage those who do bunkering in the bushes and swamp in the Niger Delta region and empower them to build refineries that would receive crude that can be refined even if it's only kerosene and petrol they refine. Revoke all licences given to people over 10 years who have not built their refineries. At designated points ensure barges of such products are on the water ways to meet the demand for boat users for water transportation. Those persons whom the FG gives surveillance contracts let them go into building refineries and let the Nigerian Navy, Nigerian Army, Nigerian Airforce and a joint task force be properly empowered to secure our water ways with that money used as patronage to these Ex militants for surveillance contracts.

Politics / Re: PDP defies Court order, holds Ward Congress in Rivers State by bixton(m): 6:25am On Jul 29
sIfioksq:
PDP is truly the master of lawlessness. How can they hold a congress when a court has clearly spoken? This is just another display of their disregard for the rule of law. Rivers people should be ashamed to have such a party representing them. They are only digging their own grave, thinking they can continue to operate like this without consequences. It's a pity that the same party that preaches democracy is the one trampling on it. What a shameful charade!




The first court SHC put a restraining order and a Federal HC countered it and gave them go ahead. You now bring up another SHC to put an injunction preventing them from going ahead. Please what was the first one for? What is the difference between the two SHCs? Do you know that the RS governor, government and persons are just abusing court processes with different SHC judges!!!!

I just pity some judges in the State that would fall under disciplinary action soon.

fergie001:

Sir, unless there is a counter Court process since the abuse has started already, the PDP will not hold a Congress in Rivers.

Answer the questions asked above since State High Courts do not have jurisdiction for Congresses.

Ask why the Supreme Court ruled that Rivers will not have a Candidate for all positions in 2019? It started like this.



Yes, when the governor goes to LP then he'll also vacate the office of the governor.

A State High Court gave an order, yet APC proceeded with the Congresses, it went along to the SC. That's what will likely happen since the rumour is that the Gov is readying LP.

Oga Dele, it's a faceless people led protest because it's not Ovation magazine that's showcases the faces of the rich who are able to afford you.

It's faceless people protest because the intention is not to have a repeat of the mistakes of what happened at the Lekko yow gate where those who have faces used it as an opportunity to grow their accounts with funds and in the process of speaking of those who are with them collected amount of monies that till date they could not account for what it was used for. A faceless people's protest is the best form of protest where everyone is a leader.

Romance / Re: In My Current Relationship, my guy and I retaliate a lot by bixton(m): 8:54pm On Jul 24
MeghaneMorgane:
I’m currently in a relationship where both my guy and I are very petty. If my guy does something I don’t like, I tell him the first time, if he does the same thing the second time, I don’t talk too much and I just give him the exact taste of the same medicine. It works every time and he adjusts immediately. Same for him when he tells me he doesn’t like something if I don’t adjust, he will give me the exact taste of my medicine. So far, it’s been working for both of us because we both adjust accordingly.
My question is that I hope this petty behaviour from my guy and I is not a toxic one?
If it is not toxic that’s good. But at what point does this behaviour become toxic?
NB: So far, this petty behaviour has been working well for the both of us.

I’ll give an example of our petty behaviour. My boyfriend went to visit his mum. 24 hours after being at his mum’s place, he didn’t pick my call and he didn’t call me either, and he didn’t respond to the numerous messages I left on his phone. I was so worried, I had to call his mum and told his mum to give him the phone. His mum gave him the phone. His mum also confirmed to me that my boyfriend had arrived 24 hours before I called her so it wasn’t a case of him playing games with me. Obviously I was very angry and I asked him why he wasn’t picking my calls. His response was that he is busy. That he will call me when he is done with the job he was doing. I said ok. I didn’t call him again until he called me. He called me a day and half after speaking with him on his mum’s phone. All the while I was lamenting to his mum how her son has refused to call me or pick my calls. His mum kept consoling me that he will call me immediately he finished what was doing. Guess what?, when I went to visit my own parents, I did exactly the same thing to him. He was so angry. Since then he hasn’t tried that rubbish again. Then we had to promise each other to always pick each other’s call even if we are very busy. Since then we’ve been picking each other’s calls.




It seems like a kind of fun game between the two of you. I guess you're still in dating.

Have you fellas asked yourself if thats how you intend to live if you eventually get married and probably raise children through this method and knowing that your children will learn such from you as well?

Chinkoalhaji34:
Threats or no threats, progress is still being made.

The government is focused on delivering results, and those who truly want change should engage positively rather than protest negatively.

Let's support constructive dialogue instead!



A sane clime will allow the protest but put in measures that miscreants will not overturn it as we are hearing that some persons are trying to form an anti protest group..
It's an absurd practice. What we all clamour is for the good of all sane right thinking individuals irrespective of tribe and religion.

Now, no one can say any government is not focused on results delivering but the true question is where are the results? Because results are proofs and can't be hidden!!!

This administration which is a continuation of the previous administration came to be as a result of a national protest which they were allowed to undetake and they were not threatened by the administration of the day back then. No sensible person threatens another preventing and depriving such from his constituted rights.

Another question is how long should one wait to be able to see results because it's that same how long that this present admnisration and the previous did not wait or give the PGEJ even in the midst of the results seen and enjoyed by the economy and people of the time.


There's no such thing as constructive dialogue because it's only constructive on paper and not on ground as far as Nigeria is concerned.

May we refrain from every form of hypocrisy.

The headline of this writeup by whatsoever journalist or columnist is quite misleading.
It's also obvious reading some comments of persons who probably did not understand the judgment by the court or probably their brains have been completely wired for sentiments and harbouring ill thoughts towards one party.


The court only did a favor to the Fubara team by informing the Amaewhule team to put the other persons on notice of the injunction. It's just like NLC giving the FG an extension of extra 7 days warning of strike after exhausting the initial one.
This is done thereby that by the time the time for the case is to be heard there will be no excuse that the Fubara team has not been given enough notice.
This is done because the FHC still recognizes the Amaewhule team as still Speaker and members of the RSHA and their seats have not been lost yet by them by those who think they have lost their seats or been declared vacant by another set of assembly members.

It's very clear that the lawmakers are not interested in providing solid lasting and substainable solutions to the problems caused by their bad leadership styles, good governance and administration.
Imagine them calling on security agencies to go into talks with so called persons they call instigators.
The last admnisration and likewise this present one have always stood against protests with even people from within sponsoring an anti protest against those who truly agitate for good. Meanwhile they forgot that they came into office because the government and administration of PGEJ allowed them to go.in their protests.

It's high time we put away sentiments to enable the nation grow and the common man be able to enjoy good governance and get benefits of democracy as it ought to be.
When the real uprising will come forth nothing can stop it, not even the security agencies or those who think they are given to anti protest.

For the unclaimed dividend and dormant account balances, the CBN said banks should maintain records of the beneficiaries of the unclaimed balances warehoused in the UBTF Pool Account.


The funds are not permanently taken away from the owners but for keep with the CBN so that banks will not use it for their recapitalisation.

CBN insists that only fresh funds should be used for the bank recapitalisation.

Some years ago, a friend called for a meeting with those if his closer friends and asked this same question.
The government job was in the Nigerian Railway and the private was a sub contractor firm to one of the IOCs. He would basically be like a PA to the main boss.
We all adviced him to go with the subcontractor work based on the fact that if he has an eye for side business or any form of ideal investment then it's a go.
He chose the later and he was able to achieve alot not until his boss kicked the bucket and the another firm was given the contract. He is not doing bad at all till date.
