Few years back OK BAKASSI Challenged Ohakim in a joke just for plays, and lol and behold the ousted gov stood there in the crown and made him the FIRST EVER SA TO THE GOV ON ENTERTAINMENT(Creating that ministry), Afterwards, what happened? Okey tried his best and in the past and lost PDP dispensation, he contested for IMHA and the rest can be imagined as PDP lost woefully.

My issue is are these people really fit for this job?
Sometime in early 2000 i opted as a student leader and an activist to see the then Rivers state Gov, and lo and behold i met Hilda, she performed well though
but i assume she is fit to be in there for Youth and Sports or so, But believe you me not all of these people know what they are going in there to do. I pray they have genuine causes sha

Earn your pay, Oshiomhole tells indolent teachers

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State yesterday warned teachers in the state to sit up or get the sack, saying government would not hesitate to dismiss any teacher found guilty of dereliction of duties.

Mr Oshiomhole, who handed out this warning while laying the foundation stone of a new state model school in Iyamho, Etsako West local government area decried the attitude of some teachers who engage in trading during official hours.

“I have directed the commissioner for Education to fire any teacher who is not at his duty post without a good reason. We will not tolerate appeals and representation once the teacher has been fired.

We need to do whatever we must do to ensure our pupils are properly taught by teachers who give excuses now not to teach properly,” said the governor.

He said it was “extremely sad” for him to acknowledge that most of teachers don’t earn their pay.

“They alternate, rather than come to school every day. Some come to school for two days, Monday, Tuesday and they go to Onitsha, Wednesday, Thursday and play politics on Friday. They offer excuses for each other to ensure that they are paid. This is absolutely unacceptable,” he said.

Protecting the future

He however expressed the commitment of government to providing the enabling investment for education to thrive in the state, saying that it is the future of the people.

“The school is for the state and not the community in which it is located,” he said.

The state Commissioner for Education, Ekpenisi Omorotionmwan had earlier observed that prior to the advent of the present governor, the state of the public school system was an embarrassment.

“The ministry shall continue to sustain efforts at actualizing these infallible vision and mission of the Adams Oshiomhole administration geared towards the advancement of education in the state,” he said.

When completed, the model school shall comprise two blocks of 27 standard classrooms, three fully equipped science laboratories, a library and 1500 capacity hall.

My question remains why many peoeple are leaving their talents and venturing into politics

Following the criticisms that trailed its proposal to liquidate the rescued banks if they fail to recapitalise by September 30, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has soft-pedalled as it is now weighing nationalising the banks.

The CBN said that it was considering making the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) the majority shareholder in the rescued banks by plugging their equity shortfalls if they were unable to recapitalise before the deadline.

AMCON is an instrument of the Federal Government set up to bail out the rescued banks by acquiring their toxic assets.

Bloomberg quoted Deputy Governor, Financial System Stability, CBN, Dr. Kingsley Moghalu, as saying this Tuesday in Pretoria, South Africa.

Moghalu disclosed that nationalising the affected banks was a more likely alternative if some of them did not find investors or merging partners – rather than forcing them to liquidate.

The CBN had given the rescued banks till September 30 to recapitalise, failing which they might be liquidated.

CBN Governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, had however pointed out that liquidating the affected banks was the apex bank’s last option.

Finbank Plc, Intercontinental Bank Plc, Spring Bank and Union Bank of Nigeria Plc have all identified their preferred investors.

Similarly, Oceanic International Plc recently said it had shortlisted three investors and that it would make an official announcement this month.

According to Moghalu, “The deadline is a very serious one. We have the responsibility as a systemic financial regulator to make sure the banking system is normalised by the end of the year. While nationalisation is not the favoured option, it is preferable to liquidation. If AMCON takes a majority stake in a bank, it may manage the bank for a year or two before selling it on.

“Stability in the short term has been achieved. The banking system is functioning. We are working towards medium to long-term stability, but for that to happen, we must resolve the eight banks in which we’ve intervened.”

Besides, Moghalu said the apex bank was also considering other options apart from nationalisation and liquidation for the rescued banks which might not meet the deadline. He however did not outline the other options.

“I want to downplay the option of liquidation. We put out the threat, but it was to concentrate people’s minds. It doesn’t mean we will wake up and liquidate banks. If people want to play rough, we have to show them we can play rough,” he said.

The deputy governor however lamented that there was a lot of vested interests working against the recapitalisation process.

Notwithstanding, he said, at least three of the rescued banks were expected to sign agreements with investors in coming weeks. He declined to give details.

“There are a number of vested interests coming to scuttle the process. I can assure you those vested interests won’t prevail. As the regulator, we have the policies and powers to make sure we restore full financial stability one way or another,” he added.

Commenting on the development, banking analyst at Renaissance Capital, Mr. Adesoji Solanke, advised the management teams of Union Bank, FinBank and Intercontinental Bank which he said were clear on their recapitalisation plans to announce their Transaction Implementation Agreements (TIAs).

Solanke said in an e-mail to THISDAY Tuesday: “The three banks mentioned earlier should announce the signing of their TIA very soon; proceed to get regulatory approval; then hold required shareholder meetings. The 30 September deadline is firm and quickly approaching, and for the intervened banks to successfully scale all regulatory hurdles, the earlier mentioned events must kick off this month or early August, given statutory timelines required to hold certain meetings.”

Since you agree with me,
ONE LAST QUESTION FOR YOU.

WHAT WAS THEIR FINAL GRADE? DID THEY MAKE FIRST CLASS OR 2.2?
DID THEY FINISH AS REGULAR STUDENTS? WHAT PERCENTAGE?

Truly they may scale tru, but thank God for RECRUITERS OF TODAY, YOU HAVE TO COME OUT AND PROVE WAHT YOU HAVE LEARNT ALL TRU YOUR DAY, SO WHAT WAS THE BIG DEAL PLACING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE AND CHASING FRIVOLITIES INITIALLY?

Vanity upon vanity all amounts to vanity my dear

@upendo! Truly you arent medically inclined!!!
If you say some sort of resistance/ immune(though to a very good limit) then i can say 'YES' but if its what you posted? MBA!!! It is not medical at all, except you want to link it to the normal LARMACKS THEORY OF USE AND DISUSE OF BODY PART, EVEN THAT DOESNT COME TO PLAY HERE.

The HI Virus can hibernate in human body for a few years and a few for just days(Immunity in play here) but surely would be blown except  A MIRACLE TAKE PLACE!!

Except you want to teach me some more medicine

[b]Thank God you now see that every smoke started off with a fire,
I cry for most ladies, MAY GOD HELP US ALL!!!

For me? My courses and points are earned (truly earned) and cant be lobbied for, I TAKE DELIGHT IN HELPING AN UNSERIOUS STUDENT FAIL ESPECIALLY WHEN HE FAILS TO YIELD MY ADVISE, THE WOULD 'merit' IS STILL IN MY DICTIONARY

TOM28 In the light of your most recent post, my response would be a 'NO' and a 'NO'
Reason?MY SITUATION CANT BE THE WORST AND I TELL U ONE THING, A GOOD FOUNDATION CAN SAVE ALL THESE ISSUE, WHAT WAS SHE DOING WHEN HER MATES WERE WORKING HARD TO THE EXTENT OF THIS LAG?

Let me share an experience with you;
Recently my inlaw was being attacked at some place by a guy and i intervened with My corp, GUESS WHAT the perpetrator was my class mate right from primary school and i tell you this guy was a bully as at then and was showing signs of his future being what it is at the moment NOW, He is full blown AGBERO, cos at a point i met him at a point while driving and i sure know he would remember then that i was on top of the class and that has paid off,He even refferred to me as 'OGA' and demanded a tip.

You reap what you sow my dear, i was in that school and got a scholarship beccause i worked so hard knowing nothing comes easy.


THESE YOUNG LADIES SHOULD EMBRASS SOMETHING NICE AND LET BB AND RUNS REST COS WHEN U ARE MADE ALL THESE WOULD BE A JARA. GASKIA!![/b]

So tell us the difference dear


And what names both acts are called

[b]@tom28,
You are correct but lets trace issue to the proximate and immediate causes and philosophically too.

Now why are they sold out as slave?
was it conscented or a violation of their own intention?
As we speak are they not ladies willing to move on and pligh the trade despite knowing the consequences?
are our uni girls not into such act at an increasing rate?

The issue is this what leads them to this in the first place? LAZINESS AND LACK OF OPPORTUNITY?.
Some ladies from the onset decide to abandon their dreams ,schooling and/or trade or a proffesion,
Now what those that amount to? They want a quick one.

I will accept it that condition prompts a few into this, But my othher poser is this, HAVEN MADE A LIVING IN IT WHY HAVENT THEY RESIGNED NAD INVESTED THE MONEY INTO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL.

It is important every child/everyone from the onset has a vision and a mission of what s/he want to make out of life, afterall many people have very very poor begining and background yet they have made it today.

PROSTITUTN IS SIMPLY A MIND THING AND AN ACT OF LAZINESS THAT CANT BE CONDONED FOR ANY REASON, HAVEN WEIGHED IT IN ALL ANGLES.[/b]
