Tribalism and greed. When will a Calabar woman becomes a vice chancellor in UNN? |
Dybala11:Im going by what some people have experienced. It usually does not end well. |
Mbdovey:If you find love with Oyinbo or Ghanian man, don't waste time, marry him. But I will advise you against Carribean men or women. |
Why is it that Nigerian oganisations don't like the word "audit"? Why are they anti - transparency and accountability? |
Once the 24/7 power being planned for the university is materialised, I see the university improving on their research capacity and on their ranking. It can only gets better. |
Let the emotional blackmail begins. |
NGpatriot:Quite unfortunate that I have such people as compatriots. |
Achuwa1:This is part of the ungrateful attitude that we are referring to. Jonathan was there for more than 5 years and he could not complete any of the project including the one he inherited. If one is not a simpleton, how can you believe cock and bull story that projects are paid for by a govt that was borrowing to pay Federal Govt workers salary and about 29 states could not pay workers salary? A govt that was owing many contractors, that majority of them packed up their equipment, left site and laid off workers? It is one thing out of shame and politics for people to be giving flimsy excuse for a failed govt like GEJ, but insulting to common sense for somebody to be saying GEJ paid for it. |
NGpatriot:Unfortunately the people receiving this infrastructure are ingrates. |
See hyping.. |
FFK, a lawyer with no chamber, a former minister with no pension and when asked who bankrolls his tours, he went up in flame. |
If there is anything I like about Orji Kalu, its his support for Nigerian local talent. I remember how through him Enyimba of Aba won the Champions league twice. He also appears to be a detribalised Nigerian with the way he relates with other ethnic groups and employment of other tribes into his businesses. |
She sure sounds better than most of our reigning female artists. The lyrics is good and so is the songs arrangement, beats and voice. |
viviangist:Beautiful music. She surely should have continued her music hustle. I think she gave up too early. Nigeria music industry requires a lot of noise making, tenacity, hyping and a little bit of talent. |
goodnessme02:They are cheats. |
They will start telling you that they have the highest scores in WAEC and unity schools. These guys destroy Nigeria with their cheating nature. |
OlujobaSamuel:Waoh. That is impressive and things are about to get better with the FG-Siemens power deal |
pharmagba:Coupled with the rail and Agricultural revolution, things are taking shape. Smart people are tapping into the progress and positioning themselves for growth. |
Siemens Overhaul of Nigerian Power Grid Draws Investors By Tope Alake and Anthony Osae-Brown August 12, 2020, Updated on August 13, 2020 Company is rebuilding Nigeria’s power transmission system Siemens AG’s overhaul of Nigeria’s electricity grid is attracting interest from private companies seeking to invest in power production, the head of the German company’s local unit said. Siemens signed a contract with the government last year to rehabilitate and expand the West African nation’s electricity system, with the first phase costing about 2 billion Euros, according to Onyeche Tifase, chief executive officer of Siemens Nigeria Ltd.. The company is using as a model its experience in Egypt, where it increased generation capacity by more than 40% in less than three years. The revamp in Nigeria will include upgrading dozens of power substations and building new ones, as well as installing new transformers and distribution lines, she said. The upgrades are persuading skeptical investors to see opportunity in the country, Tifase added. “Our ability to deliver all the automation of distribution, transmission and generation has boosted investors’ confidence, and oil and gas companies that had stepped back because of a lack of benefits are reconsidering,” the CEO said in an interview in Lagos, the commercial capital. “We see further investments being unlocked.” Nigeria has more than 13,000 megawatts of installed electricity generation capacity but only 7,500 megawatts of that is available and less than 4,000 megawatts is dispatched to the grid each day. The partnership with Siemens will modernize the existing network before enlarging it until the country can produce and distribute 25,000 megawatts. Incessant Outages The World Bank, which estimates that Nigeria loses about $28 billion or 2% of gross domestic product a year to power cuts, approved a $750 million loan in June to create a sustainable metering and commercial framework for running the grid. The deal agreed to last year requires Siemens to boost transmission capacity, to 25,000 megawatts by 2025, from 4,500 megawatts. That will help end incessant outages and ensure the inclusion of about a third of the population of more than 200 million people now excluded from the grid. Siemens plans to implement the project in phases, starting with the initial phase of resolving current inefficiencies in distribution and transmission while upgrading capacity to 7,000 megawatts. The second phase will target 11,000 megawatts. The project has attracted low-cost financing backed by the German government and credit-risk guarantees by Euler Hermes Group SAS, according to Tifase. Lenders including Commerzbank AG and Deutsche Bank AG have indicated an interest in extending credit, she said. German lenders are expected to finance the supply of all equipment, products and systems for the project. — With assistance by Ruth Olurounbi https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-12/siemens-overhaul-of-nigerian-power-grid-draws-private-investors

ednut1:Electoral college votes are awarded to the winner of the states. Pay attention to details. What do you know about battleground states? Which states are considered battleground states ? If a democrat wins California by wide margins, he or she does not get more than 55 electoral votes. Ditto a Republican winning Teaxs by wide margin. You can learn. if only you are humble enough. |
ednut1:Sometimes it is not the quantity but the quality. Black has significant population in battleground states that could tilt the election in favour of the democratic candidate.These are states that Trump won narrowly in 2016, due to the low turnout among black voters. |
shegzhkn:She is definitely easy on the eye, no doubt. ![]() |
sweettease:A lot of people actually did. She has been on many people lips for some time now. She seems to be the most qualified with a lot of flavour like ethnic and gender diversity, plus her rich resume. No doubt she will energize the democratic base. |
shegzhkn:Hahaha. Na her beauty caught your attention and not her rich resume |
ojobek:Yes o. Solid pick. |
Biden VP pick: Kamala Harris chosen as running mate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has named Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate. She is the first black woman to serve in the role. Once a rival for the top job, the California senator of Indian-Jamaican heritage had long been considered the front-runner for the position. The former California attorney-general has been urging police reform amid anti-racism protests. Mr Biden will face President Donald Trump in the election on 3 November. Vice-President Mike Pence remains the Republican incumbent's running mate. Only two other women have been nominated as vice-presidential candidates - Sarah Palin by the Republican party in 2008 and Geraldine Ferraro by the Democrats in 1984. Neither made it to the White House. A woman of colour has never been appointed to a presidential ticket by either of the two main American political parties. No woman has won the US presidency either. What did Biden and Harris say? Mr Biden tweeted that he had "the great honour" to name Ms Harris as his number two. All the latest reaction Profile: Who is Kamala Harris? He described her as "a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country's finest public servants". He noted how she had worked closely with his late son, Beau, when she was California's attorney general. "I watched as they took on the big banks, lifted up working people, and protected women and kids from abuse," he tweeted. "I was proud then, and I'm proud now to have her as my partner in this campaign." Ms Harris later tweeted that Mr Biden "can unify the American people because he's spent his life fighting for us. And as president, he'll build an America that lives up to our ideals. "I'm honored to join him as our party's nominee for Vice President, and do what it takes to make him our Commander-in-Chief." The campaign announced that Mr Biden and Ms Harris will deliver remarks in Wilmington, Delaware, on Wednesday afternoon on "working together to restore the soul of the nation and fight for working families to move the country forward". Media captionHarris and Biden clash over his race record Who is Kamala Harris? Ms Harris, 55, dropped out of the presidential race in December. She repeatedly clashed with Mr Biden during the primary election debates, most notably criticising his praise for the "civil" working relationship he had with former senators who favoured racial segregation. The Democrat was born in Oakland, California to two immigrant parents: an Indian-born mother and Jamaican-born father. She went on to attend Howard University, one of the nation's preeminent historically black colleges and universities. She has described her time there as among the most formative experiences of her life. Media captionBiden VP pick: Who is Kamala Harris? Ms Harris says she's always been comfortable with her identity and simply describes herself as "an American". In 2019, she told the Washington Post that politicians should not have to fit into compartments because of their colour or background. "My point was: I am who I am. I'm good with it. You might need to figure it out, but I'm fine with it," she said. Why Kamala Harris embraces her biracial roots The obvious pick Sometimes the obvious pick is obvious for a reason. Kamala Harris was the front-runner to be Joe Biden's running mate pretty much since the moment the presumptive Democratic nominee announced in March that he would pick a woman to be his ticket. She's relatively young and telegenic, and as the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants reflects the growing diversity of the Democratic Party. What's more, she's been in the spotlight of the national media, having campaigned for president in 2019 and, for a while last summer, risen to near the top of some polls. Many of her rivals for the number-two spot had never faced such scrutiny, so there was no proof that they could hold up under fire. Another underrated advantage for Ms Harris was her friendship with Mr Biden's late son, Beau, formed when they were both attorneys general. Mr Biden places a high value on family - and that connection may have made choosing her easier. Now Ms Harris will have a chance to hit the campaign trail again and prove that she deserves this historic pick. If she succeeds, she'll be in prime position to seek the presidency again, perhaps as early as 2024. Today has made her a force in the Democratic Party for years to come. What is her record? After four years at Howard, Ms Harris went on to earn her law degree at the University of California, Hastings, and began her career in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office. She became the district attorney - the top prosecutor - for San Francisco in 2003, before being elected the first woman and the first African American to serve as California's attorney general, the top lawyer and law enforcement official in America's most populous state. In her nearly two terms in office as attorney general, Ms Harris gained a reputation as one of the Democratic party's rising stars, using this momentum to propel her election as California's junior US senator in 2017. She launched her candidacy for president to a crowd of more than 20,000 in Oakland at the beginning of last year. But the senator failed to articulate a clear rationale for her campaign, and gave muddled answers to questions in key policy areas like healthcare. She was also unable to capitalise on the clear high point of her candidacy: debate performances that showed off her prosecutorial skills, often placing Mr Biden in the line of attack. When Harris could draw a crowd of 20,000 Where did it go wrong for Kamala Harris? The self-described "progressive prosecutor" tried to emphasise more left-leaning parts of her legacy - requiring body cameras for some special agents at the California Department of Justice, the first state agency to adopt them, and launching a database that provided public access to crime statistics, though she failed to gain traction. "Kamala is a cop" became a common refrain on the campaign trail, spoiling her attempts to win over the more liberal Democratic base during the primaries. Those same law enforcement credentials could, however, prove beneficial in the general election when Democrats need to win over more moderate voters and independents. What's the reaction? The Trump campaign said the choice of running mate was proof that Mr Biden is "an empty shell being filled with the extreme agenda of the radicals on the left". "Not long ago, Kamala Harris called Joe Biden a racist and asked for an apology she never received," the campaign said. "Clearly, Phony Kamala will abandon her own morals, as well as try to bury her record as a prosecutor, in order to appease the anti-police extremists controlling the Democrat Party. "In her failed attempt at running for president, Kamala Harris gleefully embraced the left's radical manifesto, calling for trillions of dollars in new taxes and backing Bernie Sanders' government takeover of healthcare." Image Copyright @realDonaldTrump@REALDONALDTRUMP Report Earlier on Tuesday, President Trump said in an interview with Fox Sports Radio that some men might feel "insulted" by Mr Biden's commitment to pick a woman as his vice-presidential candidate. Mr Biden pledged in March to name a woman on the ticket. Susan Rice, the Obama-era White House national security adviser who was also on the vice-presidential shortlist, was among the first to congratulate Ms Harris. "Senator Harris is a tenacious and trailblazing leader who will make a great partner on the campaign trail," said the former diplomat. "I am confident that Biden-Harris will prove to be a winning ticket." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53739323

Buhari signs Nigeria’s ‘most significant business legislation in 30 years by Mayowa Tijani President Muhammadu Buhari has signed Companies and Allied Matters (CAM) Bill 2020 into law. The bill which became Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), 2020 is regarded as the most significant business legislation in Nigeria since 1990. The bill was passed by the Bukola Saraki-led eight senate, but the president refused to assent to the bill, asking to “preserve the powers of the Attorney-General of the Federation to approve the registration of companies limited by guarantee” among other provisions. In November 2019, the president asked the national assembly to effect some corrections to the bill, which led to it passing second reading in February 2020, before the president signed on Friday. Femi Adeisna, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, said “the president’s action on this important piece of legislation, therefore, repealed and replaced the extant Companies and Allied Matters Act, 1990, introducing after 30 years, several corporate legal innovations geared toward enhancing ease of doing business in the country”. The Act ensures “filing fee reductions and other reforms to make it easier and cheaper for small and medium-sized enterprises to register and reform their businesses in Nigeria”. It also “makes it possible to establish a private company with only one (1) member or shareholder” — as against the minimum of two people in the recent past. A transparency clause in the CAMA 2020 also requires “the disclosure of persons with significant control of companies in a register of beneficial owners to enhance corporate accountability”. https://www.thecable.ng/buhari-signs-nigerias-most-significant-business-legislation-in-30-years
