Oscarz, congrats.Be active in your volunteer programme with the N-Power thing. Gather much skills as you could and be very proactive.

You see those who condemns and look down on the ' stipend', they have nothing meaningful to offer except excuses and complains.

Those irrelevants have two good titles attched to them..i.e " Imbeciles and Morons".

All the best my bro.

This is a way to inform interested private investors that Nigerians love and would embrace mall establishments across various cities in the country.

Its big business that yields good returns.

Let there be more of this and there would be more interested shoppers coming in from within and outside our borders.

Dont mind the hypocrisies, Nigerians live good things.

All this useless noise been made here against PMB helps no one.
If you have relatives or siblings in Gambia,advise they better relocate to neighbouring countries or return home.

Jammeh would target foreign citizens of especially West African Countries that are not in his good books for now.

Jammeh has become a despot and a despot hardly goes down alone. They take victims of circumstances with tgem.

People need to learn from our citizens who got stuck in Libya and caught within the war that had Ghaddafi removed. Many are dead, while some managed to come home.

16 days to inauguration of the new Gambian president.

With both hands in the air...i vote for the replacement of CBN governor, Emefiele must go!!!.

Well whilst I do not disagree that most of our politicians are corrupt, in this instancei do not agree with your hasty conclusions. Ask your self who is Donald Duke? This is a man who remains the youngest ever democratically elected governor in Nigeria, elected governor at AGE 37! AND what was he doing before he became governor? At age 32 he he was chairman CEO of a company that held the SOLE franchise for Uncle Ben's rice in Nigeria amongst other businesses! Do you know that @ university in his teen years he was hustling as a clearing and forwarding agent at Tin Can? Most guys at that age were still tied to their mother's apron strings! At 30 he was on the board of the Voice of Nigeria, At 33 he was appointed a commissioner

The man whose father died whilst he was still quite young, built himself quite an empire and fortune before he became governor! And you will agree that he put CROSS RIVER STATE ON THE GLOBAL MAP! now should the young man not enjoy the fruits of his hard work simply because he once held public office? Nah bro. Make the guy enjoy abeg! If Na you nkó?

Thank you Denovo. Donald Duke is one of the handful good ones that camw out of PDP. His idea of Tinapa and Obudu Ranch project and carnivalmade Cross river state a major tourist attraction in the country. Not long after he left, the management went back ' the Nigerian way..so long things dont work out properly, then some individuals would be benefiting from such anomaly.

Donald duke for me is a good option for PMB ministerial cabinet shake up. Hes got the brain power and will unlike some bunch of misfits.
Imagine donald duke as minister for sports and youth development, or minister in charge of foreign affairs or Tourism.

Problem rest with West African rulers.

Importer of such commodity is no different from importer of fake and substandard drugs.. Murderers thats who and what they are.

id rather eat local ofada rice and be content than buy cheap imported rice that causes degeneration of human organs ane tissues.

CBN should use policy and systems to curve this situation. I also advise the FG look for a way to increase the in flow of Dollars reduce the pressure on the parallel market!!!

Not difficult my brother. Minister for Diasporas affairs Hon sister Abike Dabiri have informed the finance minister, ' Govt should give tax incentives ( reduction) for Diasporabs willing to come and invest back home. That way more Diasporans would be willing to keep remitting forex down to naija.

I like your critique. But y do you feel kemi should not be changed? I forgot to mention emefiele bcs he is a colloidal failure considering the galloping exchange rate and d role of cbn in d last general election. Seems the task of figuring out an economic policy Dat I'll hit d ground running is becoming a problem. Emefiele, udoma and adeosun, look at all angles of economics operation and tell me y the three should not be given d booting.

Apologies for the late response.

I havr several reasons to believe in kemi adeosuns capacity as a finance minister of the federation for several reasons, based on her antecedents as former Ogun state commissioner for finance and her roles as a senior manager with price water copper house, a renowned blue chip accounting establishment known globally.
Please read more about her here:

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/217606-finance-minister-adeosun-outlines-10-steps-reviving-nigerian-economy.html

This woman and her team have equally been staunchly responsible for the blockages of several loopholes where MDCs and various arms of government have continously been robbing the treasury blind through diversion, non record of IGR, taxes. etc in time past till present.

Amongst her notable achievements includes but not the least, the 22 point bail out fund compliance for all state governors.We all know how those jackals and foxes constantly receive funds meant for state and L.G infrastructure development and running of state affauts but the monies end up in their private coffers. ...Fayose and co readily comes to mind.

Kemi might not be as sound and exposed like the league of Okonjo Iweala ( i respect her knowledge in international fiscal issues) but nine if her policies and ideologies have ever been nor working against the people, unlike Emefiele.

chaiks:
Well. D need for reshuffle is of immense importance so that we can Kickstart 2017 on a lighter note unlikunlike 2016 yr of suffering.

Kayode fayemi should be moved to ministry of foreign affairs

=√

Amaechi should be moved to Labour ministry to ensure due process

=X ..I believe he fits the bill with ministry for tourism.

The minister of budget and national planning should be removed and replaced with someone with good statistical knowledge.

=√

We need no prophet to tell us to shake off the current ministry of finance. I know this govt inherited a lot of problems. But there is so much confusion in adeosun

=X Emefiele is the one that needs to be replaced.

Pmb should be considering contacting Charles soludo by now. He is a home bread economist with vast knowledge of statistics.

=√ 100%

The ministry of power, housing and works should be splitter separately as it was before. Let us not confuse ourselves in the name of cutting cost.

=√ 100%

Hahahahahahahaha. Ojigbjigbi. With all the oyel monie

Dalungs English blunder is by the way.
How come he spent beyond the allocated budget?

Besides he claimed the latter fund was meant for the former, U-23 team, really?

This man cannot and will not suffice to be a councillor,as all he does is wait for emoluments and spend it all.

Even some church pastorenuers could manage region branches well without having to look up to HQ for funds.

This man is amongst those misfits in buharis cabinet.Shame!!!.

ajoo17:
The big question that we need to ask ourselves is 'how much is the official price for this passport of a thing?'. You and i will be shocked abt d official price. I got to know it one day & I wept for my country. Because we know that we are not paying anything close to the official price and we cannot do anything abt. Can anybody tell us the official price. The answer is no. Well for the first time that many will hear the official price. It is N15000 for 32page, I think 64page is N18000. However, d least that I heard getting a 32page is N22k if your person is very strong & not d greedy type. Well, I got mine for N25k when d actual money is N15k. My country Nigeria, wch way forward. Now to the govt that is crying for increment, I ask them from what price and to what price? Also, I like to know d reason for the increment. If it is because we are printing from abroad, why can't we start printing in country from now? Even if it is a curse for Nigeria not to move forward , I think we can say no and begin to do something different from now. Thank you.

The honest answer to your question and every other citizens is in the quote

He further warned that if the prices were not
reviewed, its revenue to the country would be
negatively affected. He said: “It is not easy for us to pay for
booklets because of the cost. You will agree
with me that air tickets have doubled in this
country. You are aware that a lot of things
have changed, but the passport fees have not
changed.

.

It doesn't matter which side of the divide anyone of us is, facts are

1. This is nothing but internal revenue generation.From drivers license, voice and data, forex, taxes, customs duties ( remember some commodities are no longer legally allowed through land border)and now travelling Passport.
Incumbent serving ministers are cunning and cleverly pushing the bill to the citizens.They have attempted to hike electricity and fuel but met with stiff resistance.However it will surely come, but covertly.
2. PMB's present administration will surely but definitely suffer all round condemnation from all concerned, friends and foes. We must also remember the loses incured on oil and gas as result of militancy in the Niger Delta region.

The political elites are not helping matters with their jumbo size allowances, pensions, salaries, for themselves and their dependants.

2019 indeed is a decisive year.

Having state police is a good option, but the corrupt tendencies of Nigerian politicians in general,makes the move highly questionable.

However he fed. govt still hold the aces with a very simple idea

1. The NPF funding and equipping will become sole responsibilities of each state governors.
2 Fed. govt. should enact a bill that allows formation of the Federal police ( e.g FBI) with superior funding, equiping and power of over rule in certain criminal cases and jurisdiction across the nation..Lobatan.

No need for too much grammar.

Every Nigerian patriot must heed the messages of Gambian nationals and share this message till it reaches CJN desk.

We cant afford xenophobia in Gambia against our people, as a result of corrupt and greedy tendencies of some of our rogue men and women in the judiciary.

asuustrike2009:

The question you should be asking is how come electricity was improved during Bath Nnaji's time but during Fashola's time it's going worse? What were those things that Bath did that Fashola isn't doing? .

Power sector have and still relies heavily on gas supply......From Niger Delta region....you can fill in the rest after the gbosa! gbosa !!gbosa!! of oil and gas pipelines explosion by the Nigeria loving ND militants....shey u see am? Light up the pipelines, and the nation suffers less light in our homes and offices.

Thank you senator Abaribe...thank you again and again. And theose vampires were seeking further increase in tariffs despite very poor service delivery.

Abeg bring back NEPA biko.

Tears in my eyes as i was reading and laughing so hard.tehehehehehehehehehe .

Hello guys.Please can anyone confirm for me a company based at Oluyole estate, Ibadan by the name Prestige concrete roofing tiles. I woukd like to know if they still in operation.Couldnt find any useful contact of theirs on google.

Thanks in advance.

This is rather unfortunate.. Very very unfortunate on the part of the Minister of health and this "Drs. Alliance thingy" , while there are obvious and confirmed corruption acts been perpetrated daily by their comrades placed at the helm of affairs.

Good thing some people decided to voice out.

If Nigerians want the instance of building collapse to reduce in number, then they should instigate the State and Fed. govt to hold COREN and NSE reaponsible.

Every structural design for residential and commercial structures are 'Designed' by certified and qualified structure engineers, who takes into consideration several parameters such as geo test results,etc.

In cases of accidents such as this ( man made unfortunately in my view) the structural engineer, building contractor, geologist, town planning officials who approved the building would be summoned for interrogation and questioning by the engineering council and govt representatives. Whoever is found culpable will be made to face music, fined and jailed, and names published in government gazzette for public awareness. This is how it's done in countries where they take Health qnd safety very seriously.

Professionals in the Power industry would fully understand what im stating here. Not just anybody undertake commercial and huge capacity residential contracts abroad. You must be qualified and certified with traceable references. And that also includes the electrical personnel's who would install your electrical cables and terminations.A certificate of compliance, COC would be issued by such person with his licencing practice number stamped on such certificate.

Nigeria can and need to get it right.We have the capacity but not the will nor concern to enforce such regulations unfortunately.

RIP to the dead.Those are taxpayers gone too soon.

And this man was a senior lecturer as i read somewhere before.

If these set of "misfits" bearing ministerial titles like this Dalung,remain ministers in the present cabinet, Buhari should forget 2019!!! No matter the anti corruption war crusade.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD HOW COULD YOU SET OUT FOR INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION AND ANTICIPATE FAILURE? WHAT TYPE AND BRAND OF MADNESS IS THIS?? EXCUSES, EXCUSES AND MORE EXCUSES.

EACH TIME I READ ABOUT THESE MINISTERS AND GOVERNORS I ALWAYS AND ALMOST END WITH CARDIAC ISSUES.... disgraceful lot . Imagine as a business owner while you have these crop as managers and administrators?? agbaaa!!!

A Nigerian contractor that could do this is worthy of another contract appointment.

Hes proven himself as reliable please.

NIMET as at December 3rd had made a declaration of dust particles within our air space.

This is diaappointing and unacceptable on the part of ministry of power.
Besides, shortage of gas supply ( thanks but no thanks to gas pipeline explosion qs a result of the militias), the rest in quote could be largely blame on; inefficient, inconsistent and unreliable maintenance practises.

For goodness sake what happened to power back in the case of accidents or failed power structure.
Yet The DISCOs sought to have tarrif increment with little to nothing worth commending to show for.

Every ministries need quartely evaluations,appraisals and or restructure.

Who will Fashola blame now?

Very interesting but sad comments from few. First of congrats to you Op and your siblings.I remembered in 2002 my first regular paid job was N10,000 a month as an IT instructor.

You see those of you looking down on the N-power thingy, stand before a mirror and ask yourselves if indeed you mentally balanced.
Would you have rather they become yahoo scammers, armed robbers, drug pushers, motor park touts or political thugs?. For the first time someone is having a honest and decent means to lively hood, without knowing a political god father or paying to get employment, yet not a shred of appreciation from you few.Indeed its true when they say ' An unappreciative spirit is a spirit of witchcraft'.

Imbeciles and Morons!!!.

Correct Otumakpo 100%

I say this with best of confidence...Besides Buhari, my vote will go to this man Nuhu Ribadu as the next president of Nigeria.

Not old corrupt fart like Atiku and i boldly say this with every temerity.

Reno omokri is right and i acknowledge.Too many misfits in PMB's cabinet.

This is a lesson to me and should be for all employers..never employ anyone solely based on certificate ,oratory finese or sentiments.Put their supposed skills and acumen to test first else they mess up your setup.

Just two more to spell M-A-L-I
