I want to believe the newspaper and its source meant to say President Obasanjo submitted names in the year 1999 or 2003 and not GMB list.

Please they (the newspaper and its source) should revert as soon as possible.

The answer is either 80 or 710

The truth of the matter is that incoming govt won't be that foolish to enroll all unemployed Nigerian graduates and schools in the first year of the social scheme.

I want to believe they will start with some selected few who falls within some criteria to be identified and which will be simultaneous with the income generation and database that would assist the smooth implementation of the scheme.

For me (as a management expert), it is very possible but not at 100% in the first few years of commencement.

This WIRES principles of financial independence has got me thinking and getting prepared to adhere to me to the extent that I shared the lesson and content with my wife so that we can both key into it and get the support needed.

@OP
Thank you again for sharing this, however, if you have a financial independence principle lesson for people WITHOUT REGULAR INCOME is highly welcomed too and will be appreciated.

Thank you lesson and it will help in a great deal.

I saw the email alert but its unfortunate the email I used for nairaland registration has been deactivated by the email provider but, I have changed/updated it now. I won't mind if you can send me an email again so that I can receive it in my updated email address.

First, let me thank you again for the time devoted to educate us on this. For me, this is worth more than MBA class in Harvard because you will not be taught this at Harvard.

Now to the discussion:
A is Soft empowerment - this might exceed the Prof quota and those who doesn't yearn for it will just misuse the opportunity
B is Ideal empowerment -they demonstrated the need for it and thus will optimise the opportunity
C is Hard empowerment - Selfness could lewd to prof nowhere because he will under-utilize the opportunity.

The ideal empowerment group is most likely to excel the most and be great asset to the Prof.

Meanwhile, I am still looking forward for an opportunity to send you personal message.

An old man told me that the first year of every marriage is the toughest and determines the rest of the marriage life. He went further to say in that first year, woman would want to create niche or set tone for the marriage life, but man has to stand it ground and restrict the niche/tone, if not that niche/tone set by the woman will forever hold in the marriage life. So he told me to restrict niche/tone with all my might and never mind the heat at the time. My 2cent.

Answer to Question 1: No, Tony should not draw from WC, he better draws from Empowerment acct or at worst reward acct.

FG approves N40bn loan for Lagos

JUNE 4, 2014 BY NAN
The Federal Government has approved a N40bn loan facility for Lagos State Government for the development of infrastructure and education in the state, the Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, said.

Maku made the disclosure on Wednesday in Abuja when he briefed State House correspondents on the outcome of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting, presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan.

He said the approval followed a memo brought to the Council by Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, seeking approval to obtain additional credit facility from the International Development Association.

According to him, the credit facility will be in support of the Second Lagos State Development Policy Operation.

The project covers the construction of a 27km light rail, construction of schools and the construction of Adiyan Mini Water Works to provide two million gallons of water per day.

He said, “Council approved that the Ministry of Finance obtain additional credit facility of $200m from IDA in support of the second Lagos State Development Operation.

“The Council also approved an additional $42.3m as additional financing for the Lagos-Epe Secondary Education Project.

“Council further approved that the coordinating minister for the economy should execute the financing agreement on behalf of the Federal Government.

“The Council then directed the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Mohammed Adoke, to issue the legal opinion required to render the credit effective.”

How does Lagos borrowing money from IDA translates to GEJ achievement? Is it GEJ that would. pay it back or Lagos people?

For info, GEJ govt only serves as one of the guarantor for the loan. The loan will be paid back by Lagos state from Lagos monthly allocation.

I am not a USA consular officer though, but I want to guess his husband was denied because he was not asking for the right type of visa or he might be adjudicate to be a potential migrant. Americans don't just denie you visa for no reason.

Going by this picture and other pictures of mr president that I have seen, I cant fall for "I had no shoe" thing or speech. It is clearly evident that he had shoes and great looking cloths to wear with them. I can bet my life, he came from an above average (if not a wealthy) family.

Good for the party. It is a strategy to separate boys from men and to ensure there is no too much factions or breakup at the national level that will affect the party structure after the primary election.

Only those you know strategic management would know what this means.

As much as I respect other people opinion on this, however, I would like to say it is not a compulsion for El-rufai to make comment on their successes because that is what is actually expected of them (the military) and what they are paid/constituted to do. So, El-rufai making comment or no comment on military success is not a MUST. That was what they(military) make an allegiance to, so there is no need to comment when they are living to expectations but comments could be needed when they are living below or above their constituted expectations.

From my own perspective though.

someone like me will never believe this type of story coming from Nigerian Tribune. All they are doing is to make sure Dapo Awolowo (DG of Nigeria Export Promotion Council) get another term and do the bid of the man (president) that appointed to him position even when we all know he doesn't have the competency for the office.

Stephen Davis, an Australian hostage negotiator who spent some time in Nigeria
trying to secure the release of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by
Boko Haram militants in Chibok, Borno State, told SaharaReporters that he
stands by his widely reported allegations that former Governor Modu Sherriff of
Borno State and a former Chief of Army staff, General Azubuike Ihejirika (ret.),
were among the top sponsors of the Islamist insurgents who have massacred
thousands of Nigerians and foreigners and made the northeast part of Nigeria a
highly militarized zone.

In an extensive telephone interview with SaharaReporters yesterday, Dr. Davis
also accused an unnamed senior official of the Central Bank of Nigeria as well
as a man based in Cairo, Egypt whom he claimed operates as Boko Haram’s
bagman. He said both men, in addition to Mr. Sheriff and former General
Ihejirika, were major players in the funding and continued existence of the
deadly Islamist sect.

Dr. Davis told SaharaReporters that he did not want to name the CBN official
as this may prejudice investigation by Nigeria’s security services. Both accused
men have reacted furiously to Mr. Davis’ allegation, with the former Borno
governor threatening to travel to Australia to sue his accuser while Mr. Ihejirika
accused former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nasir El Rufai, of being
a “commander” of Boko Haram. Three days ago, Mr. El Rufai had posted
transcripts and video of Mr. Davis’ accusations of the former governor and ex-
Army chief on social media.

Asked whether Mr. El Rufai and former military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari, had a
hand in funding or sponsoring Boko Haram, Dr. Davis said their names have not
been mentioned to him by any Boko Haram connections.

Also, asked to explain why Mr. Ihejirika, a non-Muslim who hails from the
predominantly Christian southeastern part of Nigeria, became a Boko Haram
“sponsor,” Mr. Davis said, “Boko Haram commanders and some connected with
them told me on several occasions Ihejirika was one of their sponsors.”
He also disclosed that Mr. Sheriff always had the best military protection in
Nigeria’s violence-plagued northeast, a protection he claimed the ex-governor
enjoyed after he left office.

Dr. Davis reiterated that his allegations were informed by discussions he had
with several Boko Haram field commanders over a long period of time. Asked if
President Goodluck Jonathan was aware of the insurgents’ sponsors and their
specific roles, Dr. Davis said he was unsure of the extent of information
currently before President Jonathan. He added that Mr. Jonathan had been
weakened by lack of military loyalty and a history of security negligence. He
gave the example of repeated attempts to bring the growth of Al Qa’eda
associated cells to the attention of NSA’s since 2006 only to have them dismiss
such reports as baseless. “By the time Goodluck Jonathan became president
Boko Haram had become a potent weapon with a command structure embedded
in 16 northern states fanned by support from corrupt politicians.”
He further gave the example of Nigeria’s Minister of Defense, Aliyu Gusau, whom
he accused of basically leaving Mr. Jonathan to carry his can without taking
any responsibility for his work.

The Australian negotiator also revealed that his years working with Nigerian
presidents on matters of terrorism had shown that, even when some prominent
individuals are known to be involved in criminality, the presidents are simply
too afraid to take them on. He cited the example of the Niger Delta region. He
told SaharaReporters that he and former President Olusegun Obasanjo found
out that Abiye Sekibo, who was then Mr. Obasanjo’s Transport Minister, had
contracted the assassins who killed a prominent politician, Harry Marshall. He
said he tried to persuade Mr. Obasanjo to prosecute Mr. Sekibo, but the then
president declined, stating that such a trial could bring down his government.
Dr. Davis touched on several aspects of Boko Haram activities, showing that he
was quite knowledgeable about the sect’s actions. He told SaharaReporters
that Boko Haram runs about six major camps in the northeast and neighboring
countries, adding that 700 fighters inhabited each camp. In addition there are a
range of smaller camps within Borno State, which are often temporary and to
which kidnapped girls are taken to be used by the insurgents.

The Australian revealed that earlier this year Boko Haram was a loose coalition
of three Islamist militant groups that worked with one another, claiming that,
since four months ago, the sects had merged into one single entity, become
more cohesive, strategically effective and powerful. “They are now linking with
other terrorist group in the region and will soon be very difficult to dismantle. If
these political sponsors think they can turn these groups off after the 2015
elections they are going to be surprised to find it is out of their control.”
On why he had chosen to speak out publicly at this time, Dr. Davis stated that,
from experience, any terrorist group that has lasted more than eight years after
its formation would likely exist for another 20 or more years before it can be
dismantled. It thus becomes embedded for a generation and the likelihood of
dismantling it was very low. “If we don’t do our utmost now to dismantle Boko
Haram then we may not be able to do so for another generation. That is a very
gloomy scenario for Nigeria.”

He touched on former National Security Adviser, Owoye Andrew Azazi, whom he
described as utterly corrupt. He said Mr. Azazi, who was a retired Army general,
was planning to buy into the Hilton hotel chain in London to the tune of $100
million before he died in a helicopter crash on December 15, 2012.
Dr. Davis painted a portrait of Nigeria’s various intelligence units as operating
in silos that refuse to share information that could tame terrorist groups. To
illustrate his point, the Australian cited the example of the State Security
Services. According to him, months after the SSS won the extradition from the
Sudan of Aminu Ogwuche, a suspected terror mastermind who reportedly
planned the deadly bombing of an Abuja bus station, the intelligence agency
had yet to interrogate Mr. Ogwuche about his links with the three young men he
reportedly contracted to carry out the bombing.

Dr. Davis said the young men were three in number and that they lived in the
home of a CBN official who also carried out banking transactions for Boko
Haram through the CBN. He said two other young collaborators in the Nyanya
Motor Park bombing remain on the run.

The Australian hostage negotiator vowed to make more revelations about Boko
Haram’s sponsors, adding that he believed the sect could only be dismantled if
their sponsors were exposed and prosecuted. In particular, he said he could not
see why the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had not
already moved on Sheriff for his extensive looting of public funds when he was
the Borno State governor, and for leaving the roads in Borno State in a terrible
shape that has enabled Boko Haram to ambush Nigeria troops and massacre
them mercilessly. He also added that the former governor should face the
ultimate trial for financing the recruitment of young men to the Islamist sect.
Dr. Davis dismissed Mr. Sheriff’s threat to travel to Australia to sue him for his
statements as grandstanding and seeking to divert attention from the real issue
of Mr. Sheriff’s involvement with Boko Haram. He added that he would be
pleased to meet the former governor at the airport whenever he developed the
courage to come to Australia.
