Good and healthy rivalry . Thank God we are not at real war with each other.

Trump and the North Korea guy, Kim Jong-un can learn one or two things from the West Africans on how to live peacefully with each other.

Is it possible that the OP can double his investment within six months once the chicken starts to lay eggs consistently? If 70% of the 3500 chicken, lays egg on a daily basis @ N30 per egg : = 70% x 3500 x 180 days x N30 = N13.2 Million Naira.

This is not including resale value of the chicken at old layers stage..

greatermax77:
All of them impacted negetively on the economy

But some of them will have more impact than the other..

ehie:
impact in the worst way, millions have lost their jobs, no FDI, 370 to the dollar

Who among the four do you think is most responsible for that? Impact could be positive or negative

Foul play?

Based on the importance of their offices, it will be interesting to know which of these four individual and their offices has more impact on the economic lives of an average Nigerian?

Emefiele, Adeosun, Kachikwu, Udoma

OP, sorry I don't mean to pry, but it will be interesting to know how you raised the capital? Savings, inheritance or bank loans?

Good job bro and great feed back. Wish Nigerian politicians that we voted are this accountable. There will be more trust in Govt.

BREAKING: Court orders permanent forfeiture of N7.6bn linked to Diezani
August 28, 2017



A federal high court sitting in Lagos has ordered the permanent forfeiture of N7,646,700,000 said to have been illegally kept in Sterling Bank.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had linked the money to Diezani Alison-Madueke, former minister of petroleum resources.

Chuka Obiozor, a judge, who gave the judgment on Monday, had ordered the permanent forfeiture of a $37.5m sky-scrapper in Banana Island, Lagos, allegedly owned by Diezani.

The commission had told Obiozor through an ex parte application that the N7.6bn was part of the $153,310,000 which Alison-Madueke allegedly siphoned from the coffers of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in 2014.

The EFCC also alleged that the former minister stashed the money away in three banks and that the federal government had since February last year, through an order granted by another judge, Muslim Hassan, recovered part of the money.

It urged the court to order Sterling Bank to release to the federal government the said sum still in its custody.

Obiozor had granted an interim order for the forfeiture of the funds, but on Monday he gave a permanent order for the seizure of the funds.

But they claim that they have been serious about Biafla before 2015. Hear it from the horses mouth.......

Aba is the spiritual capital ofBiafra land. We started in Aba in 2015 at CKC (Christ the King Catholic Cathedral). That day, heaven authenticated our move that IPOB will restore Biafra and that’s what we’ve come to do. We died in Aba at National High School.- Cownu


I expect the Ipigs to start twisting it to support their lies.

No amount of hatred will obliterate Buhari’s achievements – Lai Mohammed
August 24, 2017

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/241439-no-amount-hatred-will-obliterate-buharis-achievements-lai-mohammed.html

Agency Report

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said on Thursday that no amount of hatred will obliterate the solid achievements recorded by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The minister stated this in Abuja while declaring open the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, Annual Lecture and 25th Anniversary celebration of creation of the Commission.
Mr. Mohammed said that contrary to the impression being created by purveyors of hate speech and fake news, the Buhari Administration had, in a short time, recorded solid achievements under a most difficult situation.
He said despite operating with just 45 per cent of the funds available to the immediate past administration due largely to the fall in prices of oil, the Buhari government had achieved tremendously.
The minister said that it was as a result of the efficient leadership of Buhari that Nigeria had not witnessed economic and social crises like other oil dependent nations.
“A country that has consistently produced more oil than Nigeria, despite having about one sixth of the Nigerian population, is today embroiled in the worst economic crisis in its history.
“There is shortage of food, medicine and everything, and there is hyper-inflation.
“With Nigeria being affected by the same downturn in oil prices, coupled with years of monumental mismanagement of the country’s economy and the mindless and maddening looting of its treasury by rapacious public officials, why is Nigeria not in similar crisis as the country in question?

“My answer is simple: Because Nigeria has a President like Muhammadu Buhari,” he said.
Specifically, the minister said that the Buhari government had brought transparency to governance, laying a solid foundation for the country’s economic recovery and growth through the Treasury Single Account, TSA, and other economic policies.
“Does anyone remember the scandalous fuel subsidies that failed to deliver fuel to filling stations? What about the fertiliser subsidies that never guaranteed the availability of fertiliser to farmers? Today, fuel queues are gone with the phantom fuel subsidies.
“Also, thanks to the resuscitation of 11 of the country’s moribund fertiliser blending plants, fertiliser is now available to farmers nationwide.
“In fact, 6 million bags of fertilisers have been delivered at 30 per cent below the market price, 50,000 jobs created and N50 billion saved with the stopping of fertiliser subsidy.
Mr. Mohammed said that despite paucity of funds, the federal government’s Social Investment Programmes were being implemented, creating jobs for youth and providing nutritious food for school children.
He said the micro-credit scheme of the programmes was providing over a million Nigerians with small loans at very low rates through the Bank of Industry.
The minister said that despite the cowardly bombing of soft targets, Boko Haram insurgency was not in resurgence.
He said that the Nigerian troops were up to the task of ensuring that there was no resurgence of Boko Haram.
The minister said that the government is also delivering on critical infrastructure like roads and railways.
“Contractors are back to work on roads across the six geo-political zones, helping to recover lost jobs and put some money back in circulation, as part of government’s strategy to come out of this recession,’’ he said.

maclatunji:
Be enjoying attacks on social media while the person you hate continues to govern. See your priorities are really in place. #LOL

In 2019, most of the Ipigs will end up voting for Buhari, because they have no other option. With or without their votes, they know that Buhari will win in 5 out of the 6 zones in Nigeria anyway.

Omo ole tun gbe collar si orun. Come 2019, you will be elected President of inmates inside Kuje prison..

Rat spotted crossing the steps of No 10 Downing Street during live BBC report (he's not the first, and he won't be the last)

By Daily Mail Reporter
17 January 2011

In the continuing fallout of the Westminster expenses scandal, you could be forgiven for thinking you could smell a rat in British politics.
But one political correspondent really could - as he reported live from the steps of Downing Street.
The BBC's Gary O'Donoghue was explaining to viewers how Prime Minister David Cameron's plans to reform the public sector could impact on
Eagle-eyed news watchers spotted the large rat scurry across the step just below the famous black door as he continued the piece to camera.

The animal went unnoticed by Mr O'Donoghue but within minutes a number of short films of the report were posted online.
One viewer said: 'Number 10 has had its fair share of dodgy characters but I couldn't believe how bold this rat was.'
It's fair to say he won't be the last such rodent to be seen in Downing Street, especially after Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office Humphrey the cat retired in 1997.
The black and white stray, who arrived at Number 10 in 1988, served under three Prime Ministers; Margaret Thatcher, John Major and Tony Blair. He died in 2006.

Rats in the White House: Pestering Tales of Barbara Bush in the Pool & Others


BY CARLANTHONYONLINE.COM on JUNE 1, 2014

As First Lady, Caroline Harrison was perhaps the first genuine Domestic Goddess of the White House.

https://carlanthonyonline.com/2014/06/01/rats-in-the-white-house-pestering-tales-of-barbara-bush-in-the-pool-others/

It wasn’t merely the lack of living space provided for the presidential family (in the case of the Benjamin Harrison family this included the President and his wife, her elderly father, her widowed niece, their son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren) which troubled her when she assumed command of the old mansion in March of 1889, but also the filthy condition of the entire place.

Her lobbying effort to have a grander, bigger executive mansion failed in Congress, but it did award her funds to upgrade the hardware and give the White House, from attic to cellar, a thorough scrubbing.

And to get rid of the rats, which had completely taken possession of the very building which the media had already begun holding up as a role model for all American homes.

Bold rats were everywhere when Benjamin and Caroline Harrison lived in the White House with their adult children Russell and Mamie
In one entry of her White House diary, now preserved in the archives collection of the Benjamin Harrison Home in Indianapolis, Caroline Harrison left a startling account of just how badly infested the grandest residence in the United States had become with rats:

“The rats have nearly taken the building so it has become necessary to get a man with ferrets. They [rats] have become so numerous and bold they get up on the table in the Upper Hall and one got up on Mr. Halford’s bed.”

Then recuperating from surgery, the President’s Private Secretary E.W. Halford had been given a guest room to sleep over at the White House at the time, where he could receive care. His unwelcome bunkmate may well have prompted a fast recovery.

Caroline Harrison got the funding to conduct a full cleaning and de-ratting of the old mansion but there were reports of the critters returning not long after Theodore Roosevelt’s 1902 renovation of the White House.


Forty-plus years later, they had apparently overrun the place again.

Chief Usher J. B. West recalled how President Truman‘s invalid mother-in-law Madge Wallace would sit in her wheelchair on the South Portico to take in some sun as rats boldly came up to her, looking for food.

The rats did not intimidate this irascible old lady who thought nothing of harshly criticizing her son-in-law for firing General MacArthur. She stared them down. The rats, however, were not intimidated by her either.

Among one of the few complaints made by Harry Truman during his White House residency was one driving him to the wall, literally..

There was a putrid odor wafting through two adjoining rooms of the private family quarters. Maintenance staff checked the roof, the gardens, even the awnings (this being before his famous Truman Balcony was installed). No, Truman insisted, it was coming from inside the house.

Finally, the muttering maintenance crew went through the trouble of smashing open the wall between the two smelly rooms. And there was finally found a decaying rat with a half-eaten ham bone it had managed to snag for itself.

It wasn’t the end of Presidential family members making a stink – over a stink.

President Carter had smaller critters running under foot than did Mrs. Harrison and the Trumans – but there were more of them.
Some thirty years after the Truman incident, a mortified President Jimmy Carter tried to focus on business as he met with the Italian Prime Minister in the Oval Office, but the smell of a dead mouse could not be ignored. And it wasn’t the first such wall stink the President had scented.

Carter didn’t need anyone telling him what it was. He knew well enough from watching a multiplying clan of mice boldly scampering across the Oval Office as he sat there working. He demanded action fast.

The General Services Administration, however, informed him of their humane policy of not using mouse-traps, after being vilified by animal protection groups for snapping the necks and letting the tiny pests suffer to death.

Frustrated, President Carter finally called in the heads of the Park Service, Interior Department and General Services Administration. As he recorded in his September 9, 1977 diary entry:

“For two or three months now I’ve been telling them to get rid of the mice. They still seem to be growing in numbers, and I am determined either to fire somebody or get the mice cleared out – or both.”

The government finally declared war on the West Wing mice, even providing an analysis of tactics and daily body count to the President and senior Executive Staff. Within three days of their being called on the carpet by Carter, there were traps placed in and below the Oval Office and the President’s private study.

What proved to be the most successful weapon, deployed in nearly three-hundred spring traps (yes, they did) and almost one hundred and fifty bait boxes, which led the General Services Administration to declare “problem under control” in a November 4, 1977 memo to Jimmy Carter the Georgia peanut farmer?

Barbara Bush’s close encounter with a rat was thwarted by Millie her springer spaniel dog.
When the mice are away, however, the rats will play.

Within a dozen years of the Carter mouse mauling, there slipped in one day a stealthy creature of such gargantuan proportions that it left the formidable matron of a political dynasty almost shrieking like a little lady on a chair.

Rigorous about her exercise, be it tennis, walking or swimming, Barbara Bush was luxuriating in the warm waters of the outdoor White House pool for her one-mile a day routine when suddenly she glimpsed from beneath the surface a black blob rapidly making its way towards her.

There was no mistaking what it was and, she recalled, and it “did not look like a Walt Disney friend, I’ll tell you that.”

“I swim with a mask, so as it went right by in front of me – I mean, it was enormous,” she elaborated further. And then it was that the first of two heroes came to her rescue. Millie, her English springer spaniel dove in and went after the rat in the water.

And then the President himself did the dirty deed. With his bare hands, George H. Bush, as she put it, “drowned the beast.” Still, ever a lover of animals, she said of the death battle, “It was horrible.”

Having gained her composure by the time she was telling the tail tale to reporters in Houston, Barbara Bush explained, “We’re surrounded by parks and people drop food. They [White House groundskeepers] put some stuff [poison] out that only bothered rats, and what it does is make them very thirsty. And this rat went for the biggest water it saw,” she explained.

For long months afterwards, however, the First Lady was wary of dipping her toe in the water, always first asking one of the maintenance crew on duty to first check there weren’t any “rats in hiding” before she dove back into the pool.

Of course that was a quarter of a century ago, before there was an Internet or anything digital, a truly medieval existence across the globe. Surely there must be an app to detect rats in the pool developed by the National Security Council, the Central Intelligence Agency or some other secret, super-advanced high-tech sonar system-creating government department available only to First Families.

Hmm, no, not really.

Rat patrol White House style hasn’t changed much since the days of Mrs. Harrison.

On May 20, 2010, as the White House press corps waited in the spring sun for President Obama to deliver a formal statement from a podium in the Rose Garden, there were squeals of delightful fear from the reporters.

A big old rat dashed out of the bushes, onto the stone step just beneath the one where the President would be standing seconds later. Someone did catch it on video.

And then, without any respect for just whose remarks he was diverting attention away from, the rat made a return appearance just below President Obama, as he was speaking.

Perhaps the rodent felt especially at home as he heard what the President had to say that day: Obama was speaking about the need for some regulation of the even bigger rats on Wall Street.

As for the Barbara Bush who turns 89 years old next week, she recovered fully from the trauma of her White House rat encounter.

The former First Lady still exercises regularly, though perhaps not as vigorous a swimmer.

Since some Nigerians wants to talk about Rat, rather than Lagos - Ibadan rail line, Lagos Ibadan road rehabilitation progress, How we will complete East West Road projects, 2nd Niger Bridge financing and construction, Diezianigate etc, let us talk about rats...

It must be the Ovole office! Rodent disrupts Obama press conference

Daily Mail.co.uk
21 May 2010


President Barack Obama was upstaged by a rodent as he spoke on Wall Street legislation.
Mr Obama had just begun a Rose Garden statement lauding the end of a US Senate filibuster on his financial overhaul when a rodent dashed out of the bushes to his right, just outside the Oval Office.

Pip-squeak: A small rodent runs in front of President Barack Obama as he delivers remarks on Wall Street and Financial reform
VOLE WIDE WORLD
It's hard being taken seriously as the leader of the free world when there's a rodent scurrying around your feet.
President Barack Obama was upstaged by the little animal as he spoke on Wall Street legislation at the White House.
U.S. wildlife experts said the intruder was probably a vole.
As photographers snapped away in the sun-drenched garden, the creature scurried straight past the grey podium with the presidential seal and made a bee-line for another set of bushes to Mr Obama's left.
It's not clear if the president could even see the animal, but he didn't show any reaction.
And he concluded his statement minutes later, returning to his office without answering a few shouted questions on other topics.
Opinion was divided on the identity of the rodent.
'I would partially rule out rat,' said Russell Link, a wildlife biologist who works for the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife.

If it were to be that easy. IPOBS from their leadership to the on and offline urchins are irrational people. If Cownu tells them that he is the President of the United State, they will believe him. Their level of delusion is that bad.
