My company and I have the privilege of playing a host to a renowned travel writer - Francis Tapon and his crew, who is on a 4 years trip to all 54 African countries so as to produce and host a made-for-TV show about 54 countries of Africa to be called "The Unseen Africa". However, he is expected to be in Nigeria soon. During his trip, he is expecting to see something interesting in the country and its environs as well as finding innovative African entrepreneurs to showcase to the world through the TV show. To learn more about the project Click here: http://Africa54.com

According to Forbes "Innovative Entrepreneurs" are those that change the world by creating new business that no one else has thought before, It might be a noble solution to a particular problem that no one else has thought or done before.They find new solutions to the problems we face.

So I am asking you to identify and nominate any innovative entrepreneurs that you know to showcase his work to the world through his project on Africa called " The Unseen Africa". Please post your nominee here and briefly describe what he/she has done uniquely to solve a particular problem and we will contact you back. Thanks

Hmmmmm, I hate to say to this but only a dumb skull will believe the news. Please how can 180 hoodlums be arrested with just 2 guns and 2 live cartridge?

Let the CP try a new trick!

Ethiopian babes n ko? Where did u rank them? If Ethiopia is not on the list, then I doubt the accuracy.

Why won't Uganda request for all Nigeria Lectures if possible? If you don't know, the govt of Nigeria pays for these lecturers while these countries use them for free.

the simple and correct response (i believe) to this is becos of what america state department called Visa reciprocal/reciprocity. That is the US does to ur country people (in terms of visa validity) what ur country does to US citizens (in terms of Nig visa validity for a US citizen). That is the trick. For more info check on US state department for visa reciprocity.

okpaniokpani: Reasons Nigerians don't buy diesel cars-
(1) Stereotype- they just believe cars using petrol are better
(2) Price of diesel- rather than considering mileage,most Nigerians look at the price per liter. Diesel burns slower so in effect gives better mileage.
(3) Quality of diesel - to the well informed, they desist from diesel because of the poor quality of diesel on sale in most filling stations. Most filling stations mix DPK (kerosene) with AGO(diesel) to sell to end users. Kerosene is cheaper, the profit from mixing the two to be sold at the price of the later encourages this nefarious activitiees by the stations.

GBAM!
Mechanics too won't help. Most disel use rotor injector and adulterated diesel fuel quickly damage this rotor injector and very few mechanic knows how to repair or work on rotor injector and most (if not all) of this mechanics tell lies so as to cheat/chop you to ur bone becos of this people run from diesel engine.

I flew with Arik enroute Lagos New-York Lagos was very interesting for me. I flew with them in Feb this year to NY and back in May this year, the experience was very wonderful. After some hours we left Amercan Airspace, the Nigeria thing started people started to meet, the in-flight bar was turn to a typical 9ja settting for those who were interested, I meant (meeting zone, taking drink and chats, discuss issues, etc). it was really fun for me. its my most enjoyable time on air ever since I have been flying. It was really a mini Nigeria social life on board.

Personally! I would consider Bukola and his people press briefing as a media noise. If they know their demand is geniune and feel cheated, let them go to court and prove their case instead of disturbing us with police this, police that. They should just tour the right part and stop harrassing the populace with their media hype na.

I don't know if Lacasera has bleaching chemical or not but I know two of my friend who were Lacasera addicted and were diagonised of liver failure and placed on Livolin (drug for liver failure and hepatitis). For me, for a very long time, lacasera is the last drink on my menu.

Why castigating this girl na, afterall na her money she paid to get it and it is her right since she was born in Nigeria, so she can do anything she wants with it. However, the lady should have kept her decision to herself only, afterall she will be one to suffer the pains if she would have need for it in the future. Anyway, frustration isn't good for humanity.

The Ilorin East, South and West is just the local council/government classification, so anywhere you are going to in ilorin, tell the local taxi driver, they will direct you. Hope this help

0monnak0da: Don't mind a whole mother of first lady died and they did not visit!! Who is Ameshee? Jacob Zuma's wife visited and even Obama nearly visited! Nonsense!!

I swear this 40 laptop crew will not stop to embarrass Nigeria and Nigerians. This is so dishearten.

However, about PEJ and Rivers official and Condolence visit, I believe and repeat that PEJ wants to use this to withdraw support from Amaechi and get cheap sympathy like GEJ 2011 Campaign slogan (I.e I had no shoe). This is one of the tricks they use to polarize this country as it is being seen in the highest level during her husband (GEJ) administration.

This woman just want attention all the time. She is a typical Nigerian woman . Also, she thought she could use this to withdraw support from Amaechi and pretend she knows nothing about 5/27 house of assembly saga but na lie, try hard next time madam PEJ

I have some bills I do like to present to the National Assembly (as an Individual/person) for consideration, so as to make them an Act.

NLder, please can anyone who know the process of presenting a bill to the National or House of Assembly walk us through the process?

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has described as a misrepresentation of facts, the comment made by the Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, that the striking university lecturers  demanded N92 billion as earned allowances in the 2009 agreement.

According to the union, which spoke through the Chairman, University of Ibadan chapter, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, the Federal Government and the minister are not telling the truth.

In a statement, the union said: “I want Nigerians to ask the minister where she got her figure of N92 billion from. There was never a time that ASUU made a demand that is up to N92 billion. I think the 92 billion naira is just the imagination of the Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy.”

Dr. Ajiboye clarified the issue noting that the earned allowances jointly calculated with the Federal Government and ASUU in the 2009 agreement was N87 billion and it covers allowances for three and a half years for thousands of lecturers in Nigerian universities.

Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
He stressed that the N87 billion was a compromise made by ASUU by scaling down from N127 billion to N87 billion.
The university lecturer urged Nigerians to say no to people whom he said were bent on destroying public institutions.
He said: “This is a government that signed an agreement with us on January 24, 2012 to the effect that they would inject N100 billion as funding into the universities in the first one month and that before the end of 2012, they would inject another N300 billion. The same government did not put down a kobo to any of these universities.

“So, it is a sad story that we are hearing now that the government cannot meet a demand of N87 billion whereas the government said that they would keep on putting N400 billion annually for three years consecutively to the tune of about N1.2 trillion. If the government is now saying it cannot meet N87billion, Nigerians should know that this is not a government that can be trusted for anything.

“The total amount of earned allowances for academic staff in Nigerian universities for the three and a half years computed together with the government was N87 billion. And that was agreed based on negotiations because we started from N127billion and it was reduced to N107 billion before we now got to 15 percent of salary payment of each person. It is called earned allowances and it is the sum total of the excess work which academic staff had done for the past three and a half years. You are now telling Nigerians that this is what these people are asking for as if it’s a new thing. Nigerians should know that it is what the people have worked for and not N92 billion. It is fallacy and what these people (federal government) are just pushing is propaganda.”

OP's comment: I am not saying they shouldn't be paid o but they must show the result of these overtime first to justify the 87 Billion overtime allowance they demand.

cjrane: [size=28pt]FRESH AIR EVERYWHERE !
NIGERIA IS FINALLY LIVING UP TO OUR EXPECTATION THROUGH GOOD GOVERNANCE FROM ASO ROCK ![/size]

For the person shouting Fresh Air, do u think it was your Jonathan that awarded this project? Go and check ur fact book.

i have had girls asking me out and i have comply, one even led close to marriage and i am also getting into another now. but my observation about this ladies if u go into the relationship with them is that they will want to paster you into normalizing the relationship, nag with u, push you to engage them and push/force you to show affection. They feel unsecured and feel taking for granted (even when u don't take them for granted). They will want to nag to understand.

There is no crime in ladies or woman asking a man out but the problem is that most of them don't have the balls to sustain the relationship. They are too sensitive when in this type of relationship and this make them nag at all time.

Pls prove your point with TANGIBLE EVIDENCE/REFERENCE that President Jonathan/PDP (by extension) has no-link/link in the country's (Nigeria) Terror attacks or unrest.

NB: Only post with provable evidence/reference will be considered admissible please.

Thank you for contributing. This come up as result of accusation that I was not fair in my earlier post titled "Prove here Buhari/APC has no-link/link in the Nigeria's Terror Attacks"; https://www.nairaland.com/1384682/prove-here-buhari-apc-no-link
You can please take time to respond to either or both. Thank you.

Pls prove your point with TANGIBLE EVIDENCE/REFERENCE that General M. Buhari/APC (by extension) has no-link/link in the country's (Nigeria) Terror attacks or unrest.

NB: Only post with provable evidence/reference will be considered admissible please. Thank you for contributing

Pls prove ur point [b](with tangible evidence/reference)[b] that General M. Buhari has no-link/link to the country's Terrorist attacks or unrest. Only post with provable evidence/reference will be consider worthy please. Thank you for contributing.

The project has failed on arrival. Atleast, birds and animals will get a place to live and the few people would be getting their salary from a failed project. Where are the implements for the farmers to work including the infrastructures (Roads, Transportation, etc)? Without infrastructures, how would PERISHABLE goods get to the cargo terminal? Or is it cutlass and hoes the farmers would use to cultivate land for export quantity? All na wash!

If they ever consult before the project, the consultant too joins in the failure, anyway, all na WASH!

VisaOfficer: This is a GREAT question and thank you for the opportunity to get on my soapbox and preach a little! YES, all immigrant visa applicants must "overcome public charge concerns." That means that the petitioner must demonstrate that he or she can financially support the beneficiary, so that the beneficiary will not become a public charge (in other words, need government support to live). (Diversity Visa applicants can stop reading -- this doesn't apply to you.) In short, the sponsor needs to show that he or she earns at least 125% of the current U.S. poverty threshold. You can see the guidelines at http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf -- there are a very few exceptions, but for most people, it's 125%.

The petitioner will file the I-864, and if anyone else in the petitioner's household is also pledging to support the beneficiary, that person files the I-864A as a member of the petitioner's household. Everyone who files the 864 or 864A should also submit three years' worth of tax documents to support their claims. The combined amounts have to be enough to support everyone in the petitioner's household PLUS everyone who is coming as a visa beneficiary. If it's not enough, they will need a joint sponsor.

So what does that mean? Okay, say I file a petition for my brother, who is married and has two children. My spouse signs the I-864A, and we both submit our tax documents from the past three years. Together, my spouse and I earn $32,000. But... if you look at http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf that is NOT ENOUGH to support my brother, his spouse, and their two children. They are four people in my brother's family, plus me and myself, so that's six people. According to the guidelines my spouse and I would need to earn $39,487 to support six people. So, we'll need a joint sponsor.

Also, unemployment compensation (or any other government assistance) does NOT count toward the total when an officer is looking at tax documents.

Also, if I say "But I own a home and it's worth $250,000!", that probably doesn't count either. I would need to show that I actually OWN the home, rather than still owing a 30-year mortgage on it. Assets are only assets if they're completely paid for.

Oh -- another point -- okay, in the above example my spouse and I have $32,000 but we need to show $39,487. That's a difference of $7,487. It's not enough to show that I have $7,487 in a savings account, because when you're using assets to make up the difference, you need to show that you have FIVE TIMES the difference in assets. In this example, that would be another $37,435.

And if this has made your head hurt, welcome to my world. Ouch, mathematics!

Good news for K petitions: You need the I-134, not the I-864, and you don't have to submit tax documents; you just need to convince the Consular officer that the person won't become a public charge.

Thank you for your time to write this out and to attending to peoples questions. This is very educative and detailed. God bless.

thank u visa officer. i would like to know if its true that anyone who will file a petition for someone should meet some socio-economic conditions. if this is true, what are the conditions? (if i may ask). Than u for ur anticipated response.

This is one of the best interview I have read in recent time. Maitama said it all as it is without name calling or bashing with the interest of national unity and development. You will enjoy the most interesting part if you read the full interview on the link below:

Pls Enjoy!

[b][/b]SUMMARY:
ELDER statesman and Nigeria’s Representative to the United Nations in 1979, Dr. Yusuf Maitama Sule, has called a revolution without bloodshed.
Sule, who spoke in an interview with The Guardian, urged Nigerian leaders to be good representatives of the people, saying that a good leader only inspires citizens to good behaviour.

“When I call for a revolution, let me make it quite clear, that I am not calling for a bloody revolution, but a cultural revolution. I am calling for Mahatma Gandhi kind of revolution, non-violent resistors. And we can make it. A good leader will inspire his people as people take cues from their leaders,” he said.

“When Murtala Muhammed came into power, within six months, he started giving this country a sense of direction. Did he kill anybody? When Buhari was in power, in 18 months, he instilled discipline into the society, he raised the moral tone of the society, he fought corruption and he was giving the country a sense of direction. Did he kill anybody? So, you do not have to kill, once you have a good leader, who will lead by example, people will follow and the society will change.”

According to the elder statesman, for as long as youths continue to succumb to the whims of greedy politicians, there would be no change. Urging young Nigerians come to terms with the fact that they are the future of the country, Maitama Sule said: “If you decide to mar it by accepting few things, collecting money from politicians, so that they will achieve their selfish aims, you will be marring your future and you will inherit an inglorious future. If you make up your mind to make the future and refuse to succumb to the machinations of these greedy politicians, you will pave way for a great Nigeria and you will inherit a glorious future. The youths are the vehicles and answer, the solutions to the problems, the vehicles of change and the vanguard of revolution.”

For all I know, these area are in Ilorin. I live in Sango area of Ilorin, and since I moved to the area over 18 months ago, no PHCN official has the gut to come and distribute bill or cut light supply but they give us light at their own time despite not paying bills or cut anyones supply. They know those cult guys lives around sango area, so they dare not try them.

@Dr. Fayemi,
No o, no be 4,000MW. Na 10,000MW they promised by the end of this year o, why are you changing the figure for the Federal government?

ayobase: He owes 1 Million plus, and his house of 600K has been said to be seized and to be auctioned at the rate of 200K....note, all in Euros!

All these proceedings and decisions without his consent and without a lawyer.....

What can I call this?

Sorry to say, but stop this ignorance. French don't give excuse like Nigeria law. In french law, you are considered guilty first until you prove your innocence, unlike Nigeria law which pronounce you innocent until you are proven guilty.
