cyrilamx: The comptroller general of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Hameed Ali, says the recent border closure is a blessing for the state
- Ali says while the country made N9.2 billion in just one day, it has continued to rake in money in billions
- The customs boss recalls being scared when the implementation of the policy on border closure was to be implemented
Colonel Hameed Ali, comptroller general of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), has revealed that the policy on border closure is assisting in the revenue generation bid of the agency.
According to Ali, who said this while speaking with a joint National Assembly committee on finance in Abuja, the agency, at one time, made N9.2 billion in one day
He further said that the agency now makes at least N5 billion to N 6 billion on a daily basis.
Ali noted that since the closure of the borders, most cargoes now berth in Nigeria instead of Benin Republic as was the case in the past.
"When we closed the border my fear was that our revenue is going to drop. To be honest our revenue kept increasing.
“There was a day in September that we collected N9.2 billion in one day. It has never happened before.
“This is after the closure of the border and since then, we have maintained an average of about N4.7 billion to N5.8 billion on a daily basis which is far more than we used to collect," he said.
Legit.ng earlier reported that the comptroller-general of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), Hameed Ali, recently disclosed the unwillingness of the federal government to change its stand on the closure of borders anytime soon.
Ali, who spoke at Idiroko, Ogun state, said the federal government is not ready to open the borders as the country continues to check the trends of smuggling.
rejoice4eva: But I thought they have started paying tthis money . Even some state govt inclusive . Who is deceiving who?
workers on level 1-6 have been taken care of,the problem is with the workers from level 7-17i.e management level, government should just up their offer to something between 15-20%,I think labour would reason with that,but this is buhari/Apc ,the all knowing gang, imagine they never did their homework very well taking this consequential adjustment in to consideration before buhari rush to decieve the public with his announcement just to deceptively look good to you is,my own is, anything good from buhari is actually a rude suprise n if nothing good comes from him it's no suprise.i will never be disappointed by buhari because I never had any trust in him knowing who he has always been n will continue to be.
With all these so call recovered loots,loans n increase in international crude price,Apc/buhari still continue to complain daily with nothing other than promises of elderado n propaganda,but they are only fooling their zombies.
I never knew soludo is such a fool,you are exposing this private conversation to what end?,so that you will be loved abi?,when the time comes you shall see,soludo could have respectfully disagree with his kinsman but kept the conversation private as you can never tell, this same act just give you away as a potential snitch n untrustworthy fellow,the cabal are not fools Don't get carried away so quickly.
dorothybella: Aisha, the wife of Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, was conspicuously absent as Africa’s First Ladies, led by Sierra Leone’s Fatima Maada Bio, brought their campaign to ban early child marriage and sexual violence against women and girls before the UN General Assembly.
The First Ladies, including Jeanette Kagame (Rwanda), Clar Weah (Liberia), Antoinette Sassou Nguesso (Democratic Republic of Congo) and Auxilla Mnangagwa (Zimbabwe), continued their passionate appeal for the world to support their “Hands Off Our Girls! Campaign.
Nigeria is one of the countries with an alarming rate of challenges women and the girl child face.
Mrs. Aisha has not attended public functions in recent weeks but she’s usually represented by her Senior Special Assistant on Administration, Dr Hajo Sani. Why the president’s wife did not attend the UNGA event said “she was represented”.
According to Girls Not Brides, a global partnership of more than 1300 civil society organisations working towards ending child marriage and enabling girls to fulfill their potential, 44% of girls in Nigeria are married before their 18th birthday and 18% are married before the age of 15.
It quoted a UNICEF report that “Nigeria has the third highest absolute number of child brides in the world – 3,538,000 – and the 11th highest prevalence rate of child marriage globally.
“Child marriage is most common in the North West and North East of Nigeria, where 68% and 57% of women aged 20-49 were married before their 18th birthday. Child marriage is particularly common among Nigeria’s poorest, rural households and the Hausa ethnic group.
“A 2017 World Bank study estimates that child marriage costs Nigeria USD7.6 billion in lost earnings and productivity every year.
“Child marriage is driven by gender inequality and the belief that girls are somehow inferior to boys. In Nigeria, child marriage is also driven by level of education.
“73% of Nigerian women with no formal education were married before 18, compared to only 9% who had completed higher education. Further education is almost impossible for some girls, who have little choice but to depend on their husbands for the rest of their lives.”
At the sidelines of the UNGA, Bio flanked by her husband President Julius Bio, spoke to “lift the lid of silence” taboo and stigma surrounding rape and early marriage in Sierra Leone and other parts of the continent. Aided by an older sister, she took a flight out of her native Sierra Leone to the United Kingdom – without her father’s knowledge or permission. “I come from a family where girls are married at 12 years,” she recalled.
President Bio, responding to a question on how deeply set cultural mindsets could be changed, said it would take patience and persistence. “We have to leave some aspects of culture behind. We have to establish institutions and cascade our campaigns down across the entire country.”
Speaking, Clar Weah stressed that it was time to collectively say no to abuse. “We renew our commitment to create a safe world for our girls in Africa. We entreat all presidents and heads of states to join us,” she appealed.
Ermine Erdogan, First Lady of Turkey, who made a special appearance to support the event, said the key to the empowerment of women was education.
“There is no excuse for early marriage. The place for a school-going child is school,” she declared.
In his remarks, African Development Bank (ADB) President, Akinwumi Adesina, spoke out against all forms of early marriage and said the economic empowerment of women is a critical tool to end the vicious cycle of marginalization and gender imbalance.
“That’s why the Bank is raising $3 billion to support women,” Adesina said, referring to the Bank’s Affirmative Finance Action for Women In Africa (AFAWA) initiative.
“Early marriage is not only a human rights abuse it is an economic issue,” Rachel Yates, Executive Director of Girls Not Brides, said.
Other voices in support of the First Ladies included Djereje Wordofa, UNFA Deputy Executive Director, who said protection of girls and women and preventing abuse must become a national priority.
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of the World Health Organisation, disclosed that it was a subject he dreaded but had to talk about. “Child marriage reinforces poverty. It is totally unacceptable. We must speak out against political, religious and social practices,” he said.
It's like the cabal has finally tamed n cage this woman,Aisha must really be regretting now, it's no doubt she loved opulence n influence but that's up in the air now,she just have to stick to her duties in za oza room!.
jarawa: The Chief of Defence Staff , Major General Gabriel Olonishakin, yesterday urged the media not to glorify terrorists or give them undue publicity. He spoke at the Defence Headquarters, Abuja, during the Defence Correspondence Seminar 2019 themed “Enhancing National Security and Cohesion through Responsible Media Reportage.”
He said in times of crisis, the main effort of the press should be geared towards peace-building. According to him, military operations demand a cordial working relationship with the media for enlightenment purpose and national security.
But propaganda,lies n deciet of your government n military should be glorified abi?, it's Boko Haram no longer defeated?,is the war tested general buhari not the president for over four years now,why hasn't Boko Haram been destroyed?,just search your conscience,do your job n stop wasting your time Mr general.
helinues: Are you in control of your life? Yes, God first but after him, are you in charge?
I have watched friends, family and associates being influenced by partners, parents, friends and which have made them to make so many wrong decisions.
Even though, some issues are better shared in order to see the situations from others perspective yet some are so important to be made alone.
The Who part are people , friends, families The What part are drugs, Alcohols, Smoking
As for me, I just need my space, food, internet and TV cable. Something must surely be learned that will influences most of my critics decisions
So what/who influences most of your critical decisions ?
my life guiding principles.e.g Do on to others what you would want them do to you,In every situation always think of what you stand to gain or loss before taking critical decisions or actions.these principles has helped me immensely in life up to today.
I came across the details of the grounds of appeal by Atiku/pdp on another media,all I want to say is no matter what Atiku will not win the case,not because his claims are not true or he hasn't truly proven his case with enough evidence but simply because the judiciary just like the legislature has been pocketed by buhari n nothing else, imagine the PEPT ruling that buhari didn't have to attach his credentials to his electoral form to contest the elections?, n that the ability to read,write n speak English even without a certificate are enough for one to stand for presidential elections in Nigeria!.
This post is for the man who breaks a woman’s heart. You knew you needed a one night stand, yet you gave her the impression that you were in love. You even went ahead and bought lovely flowers and greeting cards.
But why would you raise someone’s hope to dash it in the middle of nowhere? It would have been better for her if you had told her you needed a friend with benefits.
I could have sworn that men like you don’t exist, but I was wrong anyway. Are you so heartless that you don’t even consider how she will feel once she realized that you are a scam?
I thought heartbreaks only happen in Nollywood and Zeeworlds. I never imagined someone as heartless as you existed until you broke my heart to pieces. Without a doubt, I was a victim of your sweet words, nice gestures, and fake kindness.
I never knew that behind the kindness and nice gestures was a chronic player and womanizer. You are so wicked!!!
How could you paint a marriage life scenario to me while you know that I was your fling? You coaxed into believing that I’m the chosen one whom you will hold close to your arm and spend the rest of your life with.
But why? Did all these lies worth it? How many other girls are victims of your love scam? You have succeeded in instilling natural hatred for men in my heart.
Your actions made me feel unimportant, and you gave me the impression that I’m a worthless fling. You promised me love, affection, and happiness. But after seeing my unclothedness, you made me cry my eyes out.
I fell for your romantic words thinking I found happiness. But after taking me to bed, you became a different person. That was when you told me that you had a serious relationship. So, you kept your girlfriend as a special reserve while treating me as if I’m worthless.
You may think It’s normal, but it’s heartbreaking. I wish you could see the redness in my heart and how I became a shadow of myself when you left. The way you broke my heart into pieces. Sadly, the next man that comes my way will pay for your sin.
All I ever crave for was true love. But you turn everything into a nightmare. I don’t feel safe with men anymore as they remind me of you. I now find men that are kind towards me very irritating.
Since you have taken advantage of my vulnerability, I may never trust any man again. You want to see me cry and miserable because you derive pleasure seeing women in pain.
I just want to know. Why did you lie about everything? What did you gain from it? I was ready to make all our days together magical. Unfortunately, the only magical day was the day you told me you had a serious girlfriend that you are preparing for marriage.
What baffled me most was the fact that you were smiling when you told me about your relationship with another lady. Perhaps, you were happy that I was crying when you ended things with me.
I want you to know that I will be fine. I won’t allow the fact that you break my heart defines me.
As for you, I hope that one day you will experience real heartbreak. That’s the day you will feel all my pains.
Lastly, I hope another woman will not fall for your deceit and lies again.
perhaps I'm just a bit different,I can have strong feelings for something or someone but any Bleep up gbam my feelings are gone n it's good bye,all this bitter heart breaks just sounds crazy to me.
barlkeez: Actress Chika Ike shares new sultry photos of herself where she goes br@less in s*xy lingerie. She looks so alluring and beautiful in the black lingerie. She shared the sultry photos with the caption:
OndoFirstBorn: No fewer than thirty six (36) cows were reportedly struck to death on Saturday by a mysterious thunderstorm on Oke Owa in Ijare community of Ifedore local government area of Ondo state.
Nigerian Cable News reliably gathered that the cows were struck by thunderstorm in the late hours of Saturday without any of them surviving.
The cows were said to have died for desecrating the mountain where sacrifice is made every year by the town’s monarch.
It was learnt that the herders reported the case to the monarch of the town after the unfortunate incident.
The monarch of the town, the Olujare of Ijare, Oba Adebamigbe is always accompanied by chiefs to carry out the yearly sacrifice.
The mountain is said to be a secluded place for the monarch.
chidima2019: The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has alleged plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to influence the selection of Supreme Court justices who would sit on the appeal panel filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Also, a coalition of Civil Society organisations, the Nigeria Centre for Justice and Rule of Law (NCJRL), accused the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, of shopping for willing justices who would hear the appeal. At a press conference yesterday, CUPP spokesperson, Ikenga Ugochinyere, said the coalition has intercepted a secret list of a seven-man panel of the Justices of Supreme Court about to be announced by the CJN who would sit on the appeal. According to him, the plan was to jettison the agelong tradition of selecting the members of the panel in the order of seniority.
“Since the 1979 presidential election, the first presidential election in Nigeria, the tradition in the Supreme Court has been that the seven most senior justices of the Supreme Court are empanelled for the purpose of determining the presidential election appeal,” Ugochinyere noted. He listed the seven most senior justices and their year of appointment to include the CJN, Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed (2006), Bode Rhodes-Vivour (2010), Nwali Sylvester Ngwuta (2011), Mary Odili (2011), Olukayode Ariwoola (2011), Musa Datijo Mohammad (2012) and Kumayi Bayang Akaahs (2012). He alleged that the CJN wants to deviate from the tradition and replace some of the justices with their juniors. According to him, the list CUPP intercepted showed that the panel that would hear Atiku’s appeal is made up of the CJN, Rhodes-Vivour, Datijo Mohammed, John Inyang Okoro who was appointed in 2013, China Centus Nweze (2016), Aminu Adamu Augie (2016), and Uwani Dauda Bags (2018).
Everything buhari is doing serves the docile n disunited Southerners especially the Christian's right,when next they ever had the opportunity again, they can go n be speaking grammar feeling cocky instead of been courageous n taking tough decisions required to change the country n move it forward,I don't blame buhari at all.
Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere on Tuesday said the dissolution of the Economic Management Team (EMT) headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo by President Muhammadu Buhari is clearly a vote of no confidence in a loud indictment.
Speaking in a chat with INDEPENDENT, Yinka Odumakin, the organisation’s National Publicity Secretary said Osinbajo’s position has become totally redundant and irrelevant.
“It is clearly a vote of no confidence and a loud indictment. His position has become totally redundant and irrelevant.
I don't blame buhari for using his powers for the outmost benefit of himself n his kinsmen,this should serve as a good lesson for docile Christian Southerners,if they ever get to power again,let them go to sleep!.
Buhari's bunch of sychophantic suporters will always tell you buhari is a battle tested n experience ex general but is it crystal clear now that the man is all round empty even in his own field?,the Nigerian security architecture is very defective,the police are supposed to be effective enough to support the military in terms like this,in fact performing military duties when required is the last main duties of the police but over time right from when buhari over three shagari up to today the military has deliberately weakened the police n other security bodies to install themselves as the alpha and Omega of the country's defense,they treat all the other security establishment with utter disregard n respect as if they are not serving the country but now the Boko Haram challenge has exposed their folly, ideally the operational arms of the police eg MOPOL,CTU POLICE SF n of other security bodies should be helping the military to hold liberated territories with adequate training n equipments as the military continuously go on the offensive giving Boko Haram no breathing space but this is not possible as the police n the rest security bodies are poorly armed due to the military insisting that certain weapons are military graded are should not be used by other bodies but Boko Haram uses those same weapons freely eg GPMG,RPG, AA GUNS,BLAST GRENADES ETC, it's so amazing that we don't hear of army air wing, simple equipment like drones,night vision devices etc are strange devices in the war against Boko Haram,only God knows how buhari as an ex general was convinced about the effectiveness of the super camp strategy!,it's so strange to hear of battles lasting for hours without air support that one often wonders about the level of coordination n cooperation among the military branches, everyday buhari/Apc keep feeding Nigerians with lies n propaganda that often falls flats in the face of real occurring events only for the government to dish more lies to the cheering of her supporters, those who were experts in coining all sort of abusive names for Johnathan have all shamelessly gone dumb now!,karma is truly amazing!.
Toyota automobiles are arguably the most popular vehicles on Nigerian roads. They have become so popular that even a rookie car enthusiast or someone who is not really interested in cars can identify a Camry or Corolla from a distance.
Wait a minute. What do the words; Camry , Corolla and other model names actually mean, how were those names coined ?. We are about to find out !
Let's get started, in no particular order
1. Prius
Its a Latin word meaning, "prior", "first", "original", "to go before" . The Prius is the first mass produced hybrid vehicle, launched in 1997, in Japan.
2. Avensis
This name is derived from the French word "Avancer", meaning "to advance".
3. Supra
It comes from the Latin word "supra", which means "transcending" or "above" . Which can also be loosely translated as "superior" .
4. Celica
Its a Spanish word for "celestial" or "heavenly"
5. Hilux
Its simply a combination of "High" and "Luxury" �
6.Hiace
Just like the Hilux, its coined from the English words "High" and "Ace".
7.RAV4
Its actually an acronym for "Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-wheel-drive " .
8.Camry
Its coined from a Japanese word "Kanmuri", which means "crown".
9.Corolla
A "corolla" is the ring of petals around the central part of a flower. The name was intended to evoke the image of a beautifully styled, eye-catching compact car.
Securing all the borders is sure a very tough task,but why can't the customs raid selling points i,e markets,to confiscate all the ban goods, simple logic,if you can't sell,there is no point smuggling it.
Nonymine: Have you just compared us to Western countries? What did South Africa do when 80 of her citizens died in Nigeria? You think if it were Americans, they'd fold their arms and let TB Joshua roam free? Nigeria and South Africa needs to tread carefully.
If that's the diplomacy you talk about then it's rubbish!,did Nigerians chased n killed the south Africans in TB Joshua's Church or it was an accident beyond anyone's control?,did any country blamed America for the death of her citizens in 9/11?,thank God we don't have your type in power it would have been worse,ask yourself why are the south Africans not attacking Arabs of north Africa at least they are also Africans,I guess you know the reason is because they will be striking the bees nest by doing so n the out come will be deadly, Nigeria can go on with your brand of diplomacy while her citizens continued to be treated as dogs in most painfully African countries!.
Nonymine: I've actually paid keen attention to all that has been happening for a while now. It's evident that most Nigerians and South Africans yearning for tit for tat are ignorant of diplomacy. Sadly, I have little time to go into that now
This diplomacy you talk about,did it applies only to Nigeria?, because we have seen how decisive some other countries have treated the Bleep up of other countries messing up with their interests n citizens, please diplomatic consultant educate us!
The federal government should have tacitly allowed the NANS to give the south Africans small demo here in Nigeria to reset their brains but they are busy decieving themselves forming big brother, Nigeria n Nigerians will continue to be taken for a ride with our docile attitude,no couo in Africa should be messing with us, imagine Even countries like Ghana Gabon Kenya spitting on us,yet we call ourselves the African giant, well most Giants are fools so it's not suprising after all.
The yorubas of kwara liberating themselves from the domination of Alimi Descendants should not be a hurculean task,they simply need to ensure that an Afonja son or daughter is voted governor n also plenty state house members,then stand firm with numerical strength n courage to effect the desired changes of course this will certainly not be with a fight from the fulanis.
Nairaobserver: There was a drag between ( KAROTA ) Kano Road And Traffic Agency officials and a soldier, which made the KAROTA operatives to descend heavily on the soldier.
Thereafter, the soldiers in the barrack got information about how their colleague was dealt with by the Kano Traffic Agency Officials. They moved to pick up each and everyone of the KAROTA officials that was involved in the act and purnished them.
So why did buhari claimed his credentials we're with the army n filled (not available) in the column of his academic qualification on his inec forms severally,why didn't he simply state that he could read write n speak English?
