Obagreatdatoye: OSINBAJO TAKES TRADERMONI SCHEME TO IBADAN. PEOPLE WERE SEEN REJOICING AND JUBILATING AS THEY SEE THE VICE PRESIDENT AND THE STATE GOVERNOR AJIMOBI. SO FAR ONE MILLION NIGERIA TRADERS HAVE BENEFITED FROM THE SCHEME. I GUESS THIS ADMINISTRATION DESERVES TO BE COMMENDED FOR THIS FEAT.
Trader moni one of the initiatives by this government to help petty traders and their business, a great achievement with a million testimonies.
cute9ja: Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that no fewer than one million traders have already benefited from the TraderMoni Scheme of the Federal Government.
“The first phase of the TraderMoni was targeted at two million petty traders across the country, but over a million have today benefited from the scheme,” the News Agency of Nigeria quoted Osinbajo as saying.
Osinbajo was in Bodija and Oje markets in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, on Thursday, during which he introduced the TraderMoni Scheme of the Federal Government to the traders.
He was accompanied by Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, alongside other government officials.
According to the Federal Government, the TraderMoni is a collateral-free loan that ranges from N10,000 to N50,000, depending on how well the borrowers are able to make repayments.
All petty traders and artisans in Nigeria are eligible to access the loan, government said.
Osinbajo said, “We have observed that nobody wants to give these traders credit because lenders believe they won’t pay back.
“The market traders represented the most significant percentage of those who engage in commercial activities.
“Both the TraderMoni and the MarketMoni schemes seeks to address that large population or persons involved in commercial activities who usually don’t have access to credit.”
Some of the traders, who spoke to NAN at the markets, lauded the initiative of the Federal Government.
The Babaloja of Oje market, Mr. Saliu Delesolu, lauded the Federal Government for initiating the programme, saying it would enhance petty trading.
“This is the first time a government in this country will be extending credit facility to petty traders. We appreciate this and thank President Muhammadu Buhari for this.
“We assure our members that the money would go round. Not everybody could benefit from it at once but we have been assured that the programme will be institutionalised,” he said.
A petty trader, Mrs. Olajumoke Ajao, also corroborated Delesolu’s claim, saying the government must be commended for the gesture.
I appreciate the fact that the government is not relenting in the fight against corruption, the country would have been in a better place if the previous government took this step.
Belluchii: The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, says President Muhammadu Buhari has kept Nigeria “safer than it was before the advent of his Administration in 2015”.
The minister stated this on Monday in Abuja at a ceremony to bid farewell to foreign bikers who had undergone a tour of the nation’s monuments, museums and other cultural heritage and tourist sites.
The bikers, under the aegis of Latin America Motorcycle Association (LAMA), had undertaken the tour with the theme: “Rediscover Heritage Bikers Tour Project”.
The tour, inaugurated by the minister in Abuja on October 23, had taken the bikers to eight states – Niger, Kogi, Enugu, Cross River, Rivers, Edo, Oyo Lagos – and the Federal Capital Territory, during which they visited many sites.
Speaking at the event, the minister said the tour had been a success from the accounts of the bikers and it was an attestation that Nigeria is safer that when Mr Buhari took over in 2015.
“From the report that I have received, this tour is a great success.
“It is also an attestation to the fact that Nigeria is indeed a safe destination for tourists and business people alike.
“Yes, there are security challenges here and there, and this is not peculiar to Nigeria.
“But our country is safer today than it was before the advent of this Administration in 2015, thanks to the political will showed by the administration and the commitment of our security agencies,” he said.
The minister said unlike armchair analysts who had labelled Nigeria unsafe, the bikers had crisscrossed the country by road and returned safe and sound.
“They are practical men and women who zoomed across the country on their power bikes.
“No one can tell the story better than them. And the feedback we have received is overwhelmingly positive.
“I congratulate you all for this great adventure. I thank you for ignoring the naysayers and for having the courage and the confidence and the open mind to see things for yourselves.
“As you go, I urge you all to become great ambassadors of our great country, Nigeria. And I hope you will come back here in the not-too-distant future,” he said.
The minister thanked the President of LAMA, Marip Nieves; the President of LAMA Nigeria, Ernest Akhikpemelo; the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, the NTA and the sponsors of the event.
He wished all the foreign bikers a safe journey back to their various countries.
On his part, Mr Nieves said the tour had been “a trip of my life” coming from the Caribbean to discover his root.
He said Nigeria is safe contrary to the reports in international media and the government should endeavour to promote its tourism potentials to attract more tourists.
Mr Nieves said from their experiences and what they learn from the museums, monuments and heritage sites they visited, Nigeria like other African countries has a rich history and heritage.
“Africa has incredible civilisation which we have been able to witness from this trip.
“Besides having a great time, we have used this tour to promote peace, love, harmony and tourism in line with our objectives,” he said.
Akhikpemelo, the President of LAMA, Nigeria chapter, said the vision behind the tour was to promote Nigeria tourism and show to the world that the country is safe for investments and tourism.
The bikers had travelled to Gurara Falls in Niger; The coal city of Enugu, the Millennium Park, Slave History Museum, Tinapa Lake Resort all in Cross River; the national museum in Port Harcourt and Rivers State.
They also toured the ancient city of Benin in Edo State where they visited the National Museum, among others; the ancient city of Ibadan in Oyo State; Lagos Mega City and of course many sites in the FCT.

Do you blame him, he has seen Nigeria youths as hand bag and youths without sense of purpose, but oga Gana you are 100% mistaken and out of your mind to even think about such dream.
sophsia62: Former Information Minister, Professor Jerry Gana, has said the youths mandated him to be in the race for 2019 presidential elections.
73 year old Professor Gana, who made this known while answering questions from journalists in Minna, Niger State yesterday, said the youth of the country had given him their mandate and had been supporting him too.Professor Gana who is contesting for the Presidency under the platform of Social Democratic Party, SDP said: “I am a surrogate of the youths, the youths asked me to aspire and they have pledged to support me and they have started supporting me.”
He said for now, the country needed the combination of elders and youths in governance for survival and progress of the country.“You cannot read experience in the books but you can acquire it from the elders and this is why we need to blend the youths and the elderly ones to move the country forward because this will amount to a wise combination,” he remarked.He called on the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, to really live true to its name by being independent and transparent in the conduct of the 2019 general elections.
Saraki you are number one cause of the present problems of Nigeria and if you ever become Nigeria President which you can't anyway its hired killers and armed robbers that will be ruling this country, so all your nonsense talk all round is just in vain and all the money you are distributing around is also in vain anyways those collecting will get something to spend for now.
olokeded: Senate President, Bukola Saraki met with PDP delegates and stakeholders in Osun state. he said “The choice we face in the forthcoming election is either to keep things as they are, or make a radical departure from the old ways.”
Saraki shut up your stinking mouth, a thief like you will never become Nigeria’s President again. Buhari is far far better than you and your other co-aspirants in PDP.
akelicious: The Senate President and presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Bukola Saraki, yesterday regretted the happenings in Aso rock, the seat of power in Nigeria since 2015 with a verdict that cabal and not President Muhammadu Buhari was in charge of the most populous black country in the world.
He recalled that Nigerians voted the President with the hope that Buhari would effect positive change in the country, but lamented that the people have been shortchanged by the cabal who continue to hold sway in power.
Saraki who was accompanied by Senator Rafiu Ibrahim, Senator Abiodun Olujinmi, Captain Idris Wada, Dr. Doyin Okupe and Muhammed Wakil, made the remarks while addressing PDP delegates in Oyo State during a meeting where he solicited for their votes ahead of the October presidential primary of the major opposition party in the country.
He said the few influential world presidents who had visited Nigeria under the present administration did not stay beyond a few hours because they were convinced that their host did not understand their mission or contributed to discussion as expected.
He also said that Nigeria lacked the progress it deserved because voting patterns were determined by religion, language and ethnicity instead of capacity and merit.
Saraki said, “Over the years, we have made mistakes in electing people based on sentiment. Yes, it is time we correct it. We will correct it because we are capable. Over the years, we have voted for people based on religion, the language they speak and where they came from in Nigeria. We need people who have the courage, capacity, ability and determination.
“I have shown over the years, particularly in the recent years that one has the opportunity of leadership, that I have the capacity to take Nigeria forward. The countries that have done well did so not by bringing leaders by chance but because they looked for capable leaders. It is time to pick such leader.
“The president we have now does not understand leadership. We have endured him for more than three years but it is the same thing. Nigerians voted for him (Buhari) but cabal is ruling the country. That is not what democracy means. This time, let us look for who can do it. In Nigeria today, we do not have unity. What we need in the present world is digital president.
“When your president sits with world presidents, he should be able to understand what they are saying. That is why presidents who have visited the country did not stay more than a few hours. But when they know that their host understands them, they will stay longer and explore investment opportunities in Nigeria.”
Saraki said he considered Oyo State his home because his paternal grandmother was from Iseyin area of the state. He added that the state’s priorities would be protected if he became the president.
“I am happy to be back at home. This is my home, this is my state. By the boundaries that we share between Oyo and Kwara States, compared to other aspirants, it is just a stone throw to travel from Oyo to Kwara State, and they will know that their next president is just next door. On my father side, my grandmother came from Iseyin here in Oyo State; the same town where the PDP chairman in Oyo State comes from, so I know that I have captured a delegate with me. I am sure that many aspirants have come but now that your own has come home, there is nothing wrong in telling them your son has come so that Oyo can have someone that will protect its priority,” he said.
I honestly believe that this program has done more good than harm to alot of Nigerians we are truly grateful and thank the federal govt for this initiative.
klimkid: The Federal Government of Nigeria established the National Social Investments Programmes (NSIP) in 2016, to tackle poverty and hunger across the country.
The suite of programmes under the NSIP focuses on ensuring a more equitable distribution of resources to vulnerable populations, including children, youth and women.
Since 2016, these programmes combined have supported more than 5 million beneficiaries country-wide through a fair and transparent process supported by the Ministry of Budget and National Planning (MBNP) and other notable MDAs with aligned goals.
The Programmes are as follows:
. N-power programme . Conditional Cash Transfer . Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP) . Home Grown School Feeding Programme (HGSF)
No better pairing than that of PMB/PYO and that seals it.
klimkid: You will all agree with me that 2019 elections is fast approaching, here are some of the possible pairings for the 2019 presidential elections.
Sparkben: Mr Festus Keyamo (SAN), on Thursday, declared that no President, since 1960, has touched the lives of the poor and vulnerable Nigerians than President Muhammadu Buhari.
Keyamo, the Director Media, Buhari Campaign Organisation made this known in Ilorin at the inauguration of Buhari/Osinbajo Project 2019.
Keyamo who delivered a lecture at the occasion said that no government in the country has recovered stolen money that belonged to Nigerians as president Buhari.
damiloladuke: Nigerian journalist and presidential aspirant, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and other presidential aspirants, to a debate.
Sowore is a presidential aspirant on the platform of his newly registered African Action Congress (AAC).
He said on Wednesday on Channels Television programme “Politics Today’’ that aspirants should be bold enough to participate in debates about policies and projects they will execute if they become president.
He added that young and new presidential aspirants should also be given the audience and the opportunity to challenge older aspirants through debate.
“If want you to be more serious, you should be bringing these presidential candidates to debate us.
“Buhari should be brought out. The media should force them out of their hiding. Let them come and debate the future of Nigeria,” he said.
He argued that contrary to claims, young people have come up with alternatives to the current leaders.
“These alternatives will kick out the old guards in 2019,” Sowore declared.
He stressed that younger presidential aspirants are the viable alternative and were capable of doing much more in directing affairs of the nation.
“The alternative is here, that is what we should be debating. We should be talking about the fresh ideas that we are bringing on the table.
“In Nigeria, when we have people like us who have capacity, character, and integrity. We’ve got stamina, intellect, history, and pedigree.
“Young people are here to take their country to the next level of prosperity. We want to say goodbye to poverty, incompetence and lacklustre kind of leadership.’’
This man should be given the chance to serve Nigeria in full capacity. I have never seen a Vice President this composed and intelligent. He has also proven to be a disciplined and a no nonsense person. Small Man with big God
Buhari forecloses former DSS boss Daura’s return August 23, 2018 #THENATION
Despite pressure from some forces, including members of his kitchen cabinet, President Muhammadu Buhari has foreclosed the reinstatement of sacked Department of State Services (DSS) Director-General Lawal Daura, The Nation has learnt.
Some of the lobbyists, it was learnt, trailed the President to London to mount pressure for the reversal of Daura’s sack. He was relieved of his duties by then Acting President Yemi Osinbajo Those against the ex-security chief’s return argued that his sack saved the nation’s democracy and boosted the Buhari administration’s democratic credentials.
The battle has since shifted to the Presidency, over the search for a new Director-General. Some favour the retention of the office in the North. Many want acting DG Mathew Seiyefa to be confirmed to prove a point that the President has a national outlook.
The argument for Seiyefa is borne out of his having less than one year to retire. He has spent 34 years in service. A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “The forces pushing for Daura’s reinstatement have lost the battle because the President has foreclosed his return.
“The President has no plans to bring back Daura under any guise. He believes this administration is one and will not overrule his deputy. He is a man of discipline and not an ethnic bigot. “What happened is that some ministers, a few kitchen cabinet members and influential people close to the President sneaked into London to meet with Buhari to overturn Daura’s sack.
“They alleged that Prof. Yemi Osinbajo sacked Daura before informing the President who was on vacation, said the source, who added:
“They were not aware that the President and the Vice President had discussed the fate of Daura and some security chiefs at least two weeks before the President proceeded on vacation in London. The two leaders had agreed on the need to effect a few changes.
“Osinbajo acted in line with the template set by his boss and acted appropriately.” It was leaent that while in London, “a former Head of State and a minister in the kitchen cabinet advised the President to ignore these influential forces pushing for Daura’s return in view of the democratic mileage the administration scored with his removal after the unauthprised invasion of the National Assembly by hooded DSS operatives.
“The ex-Head of State warned on the diplomatic and international implications of reinstating Daura. The Minister also minced no words in confronting those who wanted the ex-DG back in office.” A source in government also gave insights into Daura’s removal.
The source said “while it is true that the Vice President sacked Daura before informing the President, it was in line with the earlier decision by the two leaders to tinker with the security apparatchik. “There was a template which the President would have worked on after the vacation which Osinbajo implemented.
Osinbajo informed the President of the action he took and the President endorsed it because the Presidency is one.” “So, when Daura acted against democratic norms, he was invited to the Presidential Villa by the Acting President.
While seated in a part of Osinbajo’s office, waiting to see the VP, his removal. “He was then escorted out of the back exit of the VP’s wing to a safe house for debriefing. There were no altercations in any manner between the VP and Daura.”
On the sucession matter, a security source said: “It is either the retention of Seiyefa or appointment of a new person as the substantive DG. For Seiyefa, who has less than a year left in service, this is the second time, he will be closer to clinching the job.”
Seiyefa In 2010, he lost to former DG Ita Ekpenyong, who was said to have been preferred by former President Goodluck Jonathan. Some “forces” are said to be pushing for a northern candidate to succeed Daura, but others in the kitchen cabinet have made a strong case for Seiyefa to prove a point that Buhari has a national character contrary to the accusation by some politicians that he is an ethnic bigot.
“ Seiyefa and three other Deputy Directors-General in the DSS are eminently qualified for the job. But Seiyefa is the most senior and for a service where hierarchy matters, he is first among equals,” the source said, noting however that “if Buhari goes out of the service to pick a new DG, it might lead to his exit and that of other three Deputy Directors-General”.
The Federal Government has appealed to churches and other religious organisations to use their platforms to propagate the achievements of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made the appeal at his country home, Oro, near Ilorin, Kwara, when he paid a Sallah visit to the Parish Priest of St Andrews Catholic Church, Rev. Fr. Joseph Awoyale.
He also urged the Churches to use their platform to correct the misconception being circulated by naysayers that Farmers/Herdsmen were religious and ethnic induced.
Mohammed said the clashes were neither religious nor ethnic but resulted from the heightened contest for increasingly-scarce natural resources like land and water, due to demographic, environmental and other reasons.
The Minister said, “Without any form of contradiction, no administration in the history of this country has achieved so much in so little a time and with so little resources in the area of infrastructure.
“We want informed criticism of this administration and we believe that the Church is a better place because you control and influence many souls.
“We are not asking anybody to do us an undue favour.
“Where we have performed, people should appreciate and accept it and if they don’t want to, they should stop spreading false information about this government.
“Religious disharmony that is being propagated today by some religious leaders is avoidable and adherents of the two major religions do not have to be enemies.
“However, most of our detractors realising that they cannot fault us on this never talk about the projects rather they are inventing fake news to de-market the administration.
“Also, governors that have not performed will like to heap the blame on the Federal Government.
“But I challenge any of them to match what they have done in the area of infrastructure compare to the Federal Government intervention projects in the state.
“Be rest assured that this administration is committed to infrastructural renewal of this country and we are leaving no stone unturned.
“The administration is working to undo the 20 years of damage by the previous governments.
“If a government comes in three years and able to revive, complete and make provision for abandoned infrastructure, it is only fair for the people to appreciate.
“Admit that the government has responsibility to provide infrastructure, we also expect some degree of honesty from the people and community.”
The minister stated further that the killings in some parts of the country were plotted in order to divide the two religions.
“Thank God the killings have now gone down drastically, thanks to the efforts of the security forces.
“Today, the rhetoric coming out of religious organisations are divisive, incendiary and provocative. They are not healthy for peaceful co-existence and should be stopped forthwith.
“Thank God that those who sought to give the clashes between farmers and herders in Benue and Taraba, among others, a religious coloration have failed. The clashes are neither religious nor ethnic.”
Responding, the parish priest, who said he is partly Muslim and partly Christian by parentage, appreciated the minister for the visit.
He commended the Buhari administration for reconstructing the Ilorin-Jebba-Mokwa road which he said was hitherto a death trap.
“We thank the administration for that and we hope and pray that they will do more for us it term of roads. I must say to you that we need those roads to be able to connect to villages and towns.
“I tell people that a performing administration does not need to campaign. your programmes and achievements will campaign for you.
“Is it the N-POWER? A lot of people are benefitting from that, is it the roads? many are benefitting. We will just continue to encourage you to continue to work for a better Nigeria.”
you only run your mouth when you deem fit,oga please watch what you say.
iksmoore: Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation minister, on Sunday, lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari for declaring that he will jail more looters. He stressed that Buhari will end up like the biblical “Herod, Pharaoh and Sennacherub” because he allegedly carried out more corrupt practices than any other leader. Buhari had made the declaration upon his return from London, where he spent 10 days on vacation. However, Fani-Kayode rubbished the President’s declaration, describing Buhari as “nothing but a pernicious liar, a loud-mouthed hypocrite and a schoolyard bully.” In a tweet, the former minister wrote: “I have come back to jail looters- Buhari. “You are nothing but a pernicious liar, a loud-mouthed hypocrite and a schoolyard bully. “No-one has looted as much money, inflicted as much pain and shed as much innocent blood as you. You shall end like Herod, Pharaoh and Sennacherub.
Chairman, Senate Committee on Navy, Senator Isah Hamma Misau and his counterpart in the Committee on Banking, Finance and other Financial Insitutions, Senator Rafiu Adebayo Ibrahim have advised the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its leaders to desist from looking for scapegoats for the failure to fulfill their promises to the electorate by constantly blaming Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
Misau and Rafiu, in a statement on Sunday, stated that APC leaders have continued to whine about what Saraki did or did not do to ensure the Buhari government failed without caring whether it was reasonable to believe that one single individual who had been continuously assailed by the government would at the same time be in a position to ground the government.
“APC leaders are being clever by half. They have spent most of the last 38 months harassing Saraki and sponsoring media attacks against him. Now that the man has been vindicated by the courts and he has decided to leave their party, they have devised another propaganda stunt to start heaping the blames of their failure to bring positive change to Nigeria on Saraki.
“For three years of the APC administration, former President Goodluck Jonathan was the scapegoat they blamed. Now that it dawned on them that nobody is listening to that tale by moonlight again, their propaganda machinery has shifted focus to Saraki as the new man to blame. These are characters who cannot take responsibility for their inability to provide good governance as they promised.
“Must these people blame somebody all the time? Were they elected to bring in positive change or to shift blames? It is irresponsible for people invested with popular mandate to always look for somebody to be held responsible for their failure to fulfill their promises and give expression to the mandate they were given.
“Instead of concentrating on how to use the next six months before the general elections to hasten the completion of infrastructure projects, enunciation of policies and initiation of programmes which can improve the standard of living of the people and ameliorate the consistent failure of the last three years, the APC is now led by demagogues who seem not to care if they bring the entire country down.
“The new leadership of the APC have continued to advertise the inability of the party to manage victory, their penchant for violence as a way of saving their faces and their lack of the much needed temperament to wield together a country with diverse culture, ethinicity and religion like Nigeria.
“When they continue to blame Saraki for their failure, was the man responsible for their failure to appoint ministers for the first five months of the administration when the economy was just straying without direction? Is he responsible for the constant demarketing of the economy in international circles by the President of the country? Is Saraki responsible for the refusal of the government to prosecute its members indicted of corrupt practices, thereby destroying its anti-corruption campaign?
“Is he responsible for the high level incompetence and lack of capacity which sign-post the activities of the government? Is Saraki responsible for condoning the inability of the security agencies to appropriately respond to the security challenges which are now pervasive across the country? Did Saraki set up the ‘government within government’ which has continued to ground the administration?
“We can go on and on to query the logic of this APC blame game. However, we need to warn them to stop this cheap antics and face the real task of governance. Nigerians did not elect them to be giving excuses. Very soon, they will have to give account to the people and nobody will listen to the constant thrash about Saraki this, Saraki that.
“If the best strategy the APC ideas team can come up with on how to pre-occupy Saraki and prevent him from rallying his fellow party members in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for victory in next year’s general election as well as prevent him from pursuing his legitimate ambition in the 2019 elections, then they need to return to the drawing board. Saraki is unfazed and he is not even bothered,” the Senators stated.
He will rule the country with poise because he is a man of honour and integrity, if given the opportunity he will do an excellent job.
ekesimo: Notwistanding the fact that APC as a party has its own flaws and bad eggs; and has been hijacked by a desperate cabal, I believe that the ideology is people oriented. Forget about the bad politics in its clime, it is everywhere.
Buhari and his presidency has been rejected by the majority of the people both local and international. People still believe in the Change Agenda of the government but the actors in it have lost popular support by the people. Nigerians are getting wiser, they are beginning to vote for personality of candidates without caring the party is coming from. Osinbajo has proven times without number that he has the sagacity to run the affairs of government with the little time he has been afforded. It is also a fact that whenever he is calling the shots, Nigeria always take a positive step forward no matter how small it is. He is intelligent, smart, skilled in conflict resolution (which is very essential for the position considering the ethno-tribal and religious differences of the people), knows when to smile and bone and knows when to throw the hat into the ring.
If only APC can convince Buhari not to run and field Osinbanjo as a presidential, I believe the people will rally to him. The man is good and people love him
