We met him @ the security post as a 'trainee' security man.We had to help him out,and he promised never to be so stupid again.
That's a day I can't forget in a hurry,was a funny day!

stone hit my little nephew in the eye,after 3wks I took him to Hospital for eye Examination and it was diagnose of retina detachment.the dr concluded he wil undergo an eye surgery to corret it and also said that he may hav nearsight or may lost vision...we went to another eye clinic and the Dr discouraged us from undergoin eye surgery,saying it wil be a waste of money......I am asking again,Is there Any cure for retina detachment ?

Your brother's retinal detachment was caused by eye trauma,due to the force 4rm the stone on his eye.For effective treatment,he cause and type must 1st be sort out through a comprehensive case history and examnation.photocoagulation(sealing the torn retina) is usually done,this wil help 2 prevent further damage and may also bring about improvement in vision if the ganglion fibres and other posterior segments are still workng fine.Thanks

All we want is peace. In the Niger delta and Nigeria

OLADD:
It's a shame that despite your level of exposure, you're too swift to draw conclusion on any rubbish from Sahara reporters and Buhari's EFCC. Did you bother to know where the said $40b was "diverted"? The major suspect in these serial and unending "revelations" is Dasuki who has never been allowed to speak out in defence of the allegations. The daily allegations are meant to coverup Buhari's ineptitude, incompetence and keep the unsuspecting public busy.

bro,can u tell us where the money was diverted to,and what will be your reaction when it comes out to be true?

Its now obvious Jonah's Govt goes home with the award of the most Fantastically corrupt Govt in the history of Nigeria.Why was the wife shedding crocodile tears when she knew that Chibok Girls abduction was another avenue for them to milk our common patrimony?Sometimes,I wonder how some people support a dubious Govt which bereaved us of our common patrimony.Just imagining using this money for capital projects!Its high time the IB is invited to clear himself of corrupt shady deals during his Govt.

I concur! Everythin abt Jonah was fraud..At a point,the chairman of SURE-P had to resign due to the massive corruption which was uncovered

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday promised that everything will be done to ensure that the rescued Chibok girl, Amina Ali, goes back to school.
He also promised that his administration will ensure that Amina gets the best medical, emotional and other necessary care towards her full recovery and integration into the society. ‎
The President made the promise when he received the girl in his office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said: “Like others all over the world, I’m delighted that Amina Ali, one of the missing Chibok girls has regained her freedom‎. But my feelings are tinged with deep sadness and horrors the girl has had to go through at such an early stage in her life.
“Although we cannot do anything to reverse the horrors of her past, the federal government can and will do everything possible to ensure that the rest of her life takes a completely different course.
“Amina will get the best care that the Nigerian government can afford. We will ensure that she gets the best medical, emotional and whatever care that she requires to get full recovery and be integrated into the society‎.
“Yesterday, medical personnel from government and other NGOs examine her for about five hours, trauma experts from UNICEF also met her. The FG will get the Murtala Mohammed Foundation, which has already been providing support for the families of the missing Chibok girls and which runs a trauma and counseling faciity in Kano to also be involved in the ongoing work with Amina in monitoring her progress and any additional support she requires.”

Nigerian Prisons will soon be crowded with looters..God bless PMB

God bless u bro..will try check for that today..My vulcanizer insisted it must always be 50 or 48.

This is a case of Inferior Palpebral Conjunctival Cyst which I saw some months ago.Permission was taken from Patient.

Thou the Picture isn't clear but the symptoms presented are synonymous with that of Palpebral Conjunctival Cyst which I have encountered in Clinic.A clearer pix will really help with an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

I just verified mine,and it ws confirmed to be assigned to my car

I Think it's time we stop over focussing on this PDP/APC, PMB and the rest issues and start looking where our problem is. I believe our problem is in the institutions of this country. I don't want to mention that of police now its for another day. It was on the 14th day of March that I drove into one of the police station to obtain the new tinted glass permit, in the process, it was discovered that the plate number of my car is being used by another car. My first question is "How is it possible?" Because I obtained this number from FRSC with all documents intact. I never know the car is going to stay for 12 days in the station.
A file was quickly open and the car became an exhibit. Thank God the car was registered by a very high ranking officer of the FRSC whom was brought to the station. As the investigation was going on, it was discovered that some people were producing these fake and duplicate number plates and giving out to innocent and unsuspicious Nigerian ripping them off their hard earned money.
My question is, should we now go and buy this numbers at a shop in Alaba or at idumota instead of the federal government approved agencies? In the course of my research, I stumbled upon the number plate verification system online. I started verifying cars of friends, church members and even cars that I see on the road. A shocking revelation was made that OUT OF EVERY 10 CARS you see on the road with LAGOS and ABUJA number plates, that at least 4 is FAKE.
You can check your own now.

(1) Go to www.nvisng.org/numberplateverification.aspx

(2) Enter your number in the space provided. Eg "ABC863AP

(3) Click on verify button. Then an information will be displayed below the button. Because FRSC did not want the general public to see the full details of the registration, you will only see the name of your car and the date of registration.

Here are some samples:

1. This number plate has been produced by FRSC and assigned to Toyota highlander on 20/01/2015. If your car is Toyota highlander, then you are lucky its done. But if your car is for instance Toyota Camry and your verification shows the above message, then you are in as me. Solution is to go and re-register your car afresh.

2. This number plate has been produced by FRSC and assigned to Matrix however the vehicle is yet to be registered..... If your car is Matrix, then just go back to the person that registered your car and tell him/her to complete your registration.

3. This plate number has been produced by FRSC but yet to be assign to any vehicle. It means that they just gave you a number plate that is not even registered in their system. Solution is to go to them to register your car and upload your information.

4. An invalid/wrong number plate. Do I need to explain this, NO.
Verify your car first and sort yourself out with the FRSC before you even proceed to police for tinted permit cos if police are the one to find out, then you know what follows. Many innocent Nigerian are suffering now because of impunity in our institutions
Note: this verification is only applicable to the number plates with this formats ABC123AB not AB123 ABC.

Let us spread this news until everyone is aware of this evil FRSC is perpetrating.

Thanks Op.will always check out for that when buying a new car tyre

Saraki and those forming abobaku with him must be severely dealt with.I have always believed saraki is a mole in APC,due to his presidential ambition,he will never want PMB to succeed

I have always said it that Saraki and his cronies are PMB's greatest obstacle in delivering the change which the President promised Nigerians..Thank God his days are numbered on that seat..His only hope now is Pa Chukwudi

Fear has now gripped some top officials of the National Assembly over the revelation that they hijacked the budget sent in by President Muhammadu Buhari and used their positions to distort the fiscal document by allocating huge projects worth billions of Naira to themselves under the guise of working on the budget.

The affected influential lawmakers in the two chambers of the NASS, are said to be worried that the action they took to corner substantial amount of money in the budget, using the platform of ‘Constituency Projects’ has been punctured by the refusal of the president to sign the budget without the details.

It was also gathered that the House of Representatives has agreed to address some of the concerns raised by the executive arm of government in the budget while some of the controversial allocations inserted into the budget by the principal officers for their constituencies would be redirected to finance other critical national projects.

The revelation has split the NASS into two factions, with one backing President Muhamadu Buhari while the other, is frontally opposed to him and his administration.

The ‘strong men’ of the NASS are reported to have cornered projects worth N1.6 billion each, leaving another level of committee men with N1.5 billion each and a general sum of N200 million for the ‘average’ or common member of the legislature.

This plot, Saturday Vanguard gathered, boomeranged when some loyalists of President Buhari, who were privy to the scheming of the powerful cabal in the NASS to change the budget for their own selfish interest, alerted him of the plot and cautioned him not to sign the budget when it eventually comes.

The President’s loyalists, who felt slighted but still played along with the ‘rebels’ in the NASS, promptly laid the antics of the cabals to the Presidency and it paid off even while Buhari was in far away Saudi Arabia at the time.

A Presidency source said that it was the tip-off by the loyalists in the NASS that informed Buhari’s insistence that he would study the budget approved by the NASS line by line, ministry by ministry before assenting to it.

Sources familiar with the development, told Saturday Vanguard that there was a serious rancour in the NASS over the disclosure that only a few members of the appropriation committees in the two chambers sat and decided on the budget and committed major distortions in the name of all the members.

Some of the lawmakers, who were left out of the budget ‘largesse’, are said to be ready to expose those involved to enable the Presidency sanction them as a deterrent to others.

One of the lawmakers, who cornered close to N2 billion projects for his constituency alone, is said to be worried about what steps Buhari might take against those involved in the budget distortions, in line with his vow to punish those who padded it.

However, Saturday Vanguard learnt that given the uproar that had greeted the 2016 budget, the NASS leadership had warned all members to sheath the sword and await the return of President Buhari from China.

One of the key functionaries of the administration hinted Saturday Vanguard that no further action would be taken by the NASS until they hear from the President on the subject matter.

It was learnt that Buhari might sanction those found to have exploited the budget for their selfish interest at the expense of the national interest.

“We have decided to put everything on hold until the President returns from China. On our part, we have declared a ceasefire for now,” one lawmaker from the north, said on Friday.

House agrees to address areas of concern

Meanwhile, following a meeting between the Speaker of the House of Representatives and President Muhammadu Buhari over the controversy generated on the details contained in the 2016 budget, the House has now agreed to address some of the concerns raised by the executive arm of government in the budget.

It will be recalled that following the imbroglio generated by the budget, the House of Representatives at the end of its executive session on Wednesday directed the speaker to meet with the president with a view to finding a common ground on the budget in the interest of Nigerians.

According to a source in the presidency, the meeting between the Speaker and the president over the budget took place on Wednesday night and had in attendance, the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the Ministers of Finance as well as Budget and National Planning, Kemi Adeosun and Senator Udoma Udoh Udoma and other key staff of the budget office.

The source who is privy to some of the decisions reached at the meeting told Saturday Vanguard that apart from reaching an agreement to accommodate some of the concerns of the executive over the budget, it was agreed that the over N4billion allegedly single handedly inserted into the budget for various projects in the constituency of the chairman of the House committee on Appropriation, Hon. Abdulmumin Jubrin, would be redirected to the financing of other more pressing national projects. Another N3b illion allocated for projects in the speaker’s constituency would also be used to finance other critical national projects.

It was gathered that in order to placate the speaker, Hon. Abdulmumin had inserted the N3billion projects in the speaker’s constituency even when the speaker had expressly told him that he was not interested in having such huge amount for his constituency in one single budget.

The source who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak on the matter explained that the corrections expected to be carried out on the budget would be done at the committee level and would not necessarily have to go to the floor of the house again.

ABUJA — THE Senate has unanimously endorsed the amendment of the Code of Conduct Act to remove the Code of Conduct Tribunal from the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, and the Presidency.

With the Senate approval and for legislative processing, arrangements to amend the Code of Conduct  Act to ensure fair hearing for accused persons as well as remove the powers of the Code of Conduct Tribunal from adjudicating on criminal matters, have begun.

Meanwhile, Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, was absent at yesterday’s plenary for undisclosed reasons as Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, presided.

Saraki is currently facing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, following a 13- count charge levelled against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, bordering on alleged corruption and false declaration of assets.

With the fresh initiative and when passed into law, the bill would whittle down the powers of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB),  and Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

The Code of Conduct Act CAP C15 LFN 2004 bill, which was sponsored by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Peter Nwaboshi, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Delta North, was first read, Tuesday, and had passed first reading.

It also scaled second reading and was referred  to the Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions as well as Committee on Judicairy, Human Rights and Legal Matters, which are expected to report back to the Senate in the next two weeks.

Amendment has nothing to do with Saraki’s trial— Ekweremadu

Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, who presided over the session, however, explained that the amendment was not intended to influence the trial of Saraki for allegedly making false asset declaration.

Ekweremadu said: “Let me just say that this bill absolutely has nothing to do with the proceedings going on at the Code of Conduct Tribunal in which the Senate President is involved because his trial has commenced, as you are aware, and if you look at the commencement of the bill, last paragraph says ‘this bill maybe sighted as a Code of Conduct Bureau Tribunal Act amendment bill, 2016.’

“That means the bill is not being made retroactive as to affect the proceedings at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.  Certainly, it has nothing to do with it. We are only doing our work as parliamentarians and it is our responsibility to ensure that there is justice for all at all time and we must not be afraid or scared to do the job which the constitution has given us.

“I believe it is in the course of our duty that this amendment is being proposed because the Code of Conduct Tribunal has come to stay and with all intent and purposes, we support the tribunal, we support the bureau but we would also make sure that in doing their work, there is also fairness, equity and all the principles enunciated in chapter four of our constitution dealing with human rights.”

Senators hail proposal

Earlier in his lead debate on the general principle of the bill, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi said:  “The amendment of Section three of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act is to give every public officer appearing before the bureau fair hearing as provided for under Section 36 (2)(a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999.’’

Senators, in their contributions, hailed the proposal and urged the Senate to speedily pass the bill in order to restructure the CCB and CCT for effective and efficient performance.

Port Harcourt Refining Company, PHRC, Nigeria’s biggest refinery, has been re-streamed and now producing between three and five million litres daily, according to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.

The re-streaming of the refinery, which had been down for months due to poor maintenance and shortage of crude feedstock, the management said, was aimed at optimising available capacity at the plant to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians in accessing petroleum products, particular premium motor spirit (petrol).

NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr. Garba Muhammad, who confirmed this in a telephone interview with Vanguard yesterday, also said Warri and Kaduna refineries were gearing up for production over the next couple of weeks as, according to him, “we have begun to supply crude to the refineries, but we are waiting to build up crude reserves before we fire them up in the next two weeks or so.”

Meanwhile, the Managing Director, PHRC, Dr Bafred Audu Enjugu, was quoted in a report as saying that the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit, FCCU, had been running, while some products from the primary processing units have been blended to generate significant volumes of PMS.

He said the premier refinery would sustain its production and contribute to the nation’s petroleum products pool, which he hopes will reduce the pressure on the nation’s foreign exchange.

In another development, NNPC has urged motorists to desist from panic buying of fuel, saying it had deployed over 200 truckloads of petrol to Abuja and its environs.

The NNPC in a statement by Muhammad, assured that the current petrol shortage would soon be over, noting that the problem had been largely resolved in Lagos, while the queues in Abuja were reducing by the day.

… seals filling stations

Also, the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, has vowed to clampdown on petrol stations found hoarding the product and engaging in other sharp practices.

Speaking during a tour of petrol stations in Abuja, DPR’s Director, Petroleum Resources, Mr. Mordecai Ladan, said DPR was stepping up its monitoring activities and would mete out severe sanctions to petrol stations found wanting.

He called on marketers to shun sharp practices and support the efforts of the Federal Government as well as other stakeholders in bringing an end to the fuel crisis.

During the tour, two filling stations were sealed, while the product of another filling station, an NNPC affiliate station, Tempo, was dispensed to motorists for free.

The two stations that were sealed are Zen-Hajad and Kubewas Oil Service, all in Gauraka, Kaduna Road.

Ladan said ZHL was sealed for hoarding and diversion, while Kubewas for abandoning their station on sighting the DPR monitoring team.

This is indeed a good news..This war would have been won long ago if dasuki made good use of the money budgeted for this war.To all the gallant soldiers in the theatre of war,you have all done a good job,and to those who lost their lives just to make d country peaceful 4 all, RIP. I pray BH wil be thrown into the history books soon.

etiosa97:
God day doc... firstly, am a young boy 17 yr old. about 4 yrs back while i was in ss1, someone stoned me in mah righteyes. instantly i couldn't see and lerra on, abt 20 min lerrs i started seeing with the left eye in black and white and leta coloured vision...due to finiancial crises den, i wasn't able to go to hospital and i solenly depend on eye drops..... about some weeks lerra, the pain stoped and d eye was healed, now one of mah eyes(the one not stoned) is more forcused than the other, as there is this little yellowish scar on the spot. when ever i close the unafected eye, the affected one looks blurry and writings become very small. please is there any remendy as regards this?

secondly.my mum, probably in her late 50's or early 60's is a very busy market woman, just recently she started complaing of one eyes more focused than d other... she have been using eye drops buh no response...

Good day bro, from your case history,your case is likely to be traumatic cataract or Cornea opacity associated with the injury which affected your Right eye. Your failure to seek Medical help immediately it happened aggravated the whole issue.
I willl advice you to visit the nearest Eye Clinic or Government Hospital close to you for a comprehensive Eye test,for proper diagnosis and management.
I also want you to advice your Mum to discontinue the eyedrops she has been using,and see an Eye Doctor.
Will be glad to hear from you after you and your Mum's visit to the Eye Clinic.
Thanks

The  Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, describes the challenges in the downstream sector of the oil sector as enormous but says “we are getting to the solution”. Kachikwu spoke to the NNPC staff  in Abuja. Excerpts:

“This week, we address the fuel subsidy. It’s not by happenstance that you see me with my sleeves all rolled up. And I hope you’re visiting filling stations and helping us work this difficulty.

“This is probably the most challenging issue since I took over as GMD and Minister of Petroleum, and the reality is that a lot of us, even within the company (NNPC), do not know why this is so, and so for those who don’t know, I’ll first go through why you have this situation.

“First, on resumption in August, we had a  major problem on our hands, because subsidies of close to N600 billion, had not been paid over a one year period, and so the majors, those who were  importing, had began to quietly reduce the  levels of importation allotted to them and, though I got the approval of the National Assembly and the President  to eventually pay a good portion of that subsidy, sometime in November, by then it was too late.

“Too late because although they got the money, they didn’t have access to foreign exchange, so the  main reason we have this supply gap now is that, although NNPC has its own 445,000 barrels allocation of crude and is meeting its own 50% of  delivery, the individuals, who should provide the balance of the 40% component, are not bringing in any product.

“So, we’ve had to be very creative over the last 4 to 5 months, until we basically ran out of options and the sort of creativity that we put in place was forward buying, forward purchase, forward crude allocations, and also, just to bring in more product, because we saw NNPC transit from a 45% provider to suddenly 80%, and about this month really to 100% provider of petroleum products in Nigeria.
“That was not sustainable, we didn’t have the capacity, we didn’t have the funding, we didn’t have access to the products, we didn’t have the foreign exchange. So in very many ways, it’s surprising that we’ve even been able to survive this long.

“However, the key element has been, how to find foreign exchange for those who want to participate in the stream, who have been doing this traditionally, to get into the space, buy their products, come in, distribute. That’s something we’ve had to work on.

“Of course, the second problem was incessant pipeline disruptions. Literally, if you look at the statistics of this year, as against last year, we’ve had almost two times the number of pipeline disruptions than we’ve had over the last two, three years, in this year and that for us is very disturbing.

“We have now thrown a couple of ideas on this. The first thing that I have tried to do is, for the first time in this country, is to be able to convince the upstream companies to provide some FX buffer over the next one year for those who are bringing in products.

“So, I’ve tied  Total Upstream to Total Downstream, Mobil Upstream to Mobil Downstream, Agip ENI to Oando, Shell to Conoil and things like that. It’s been very innovative, putting 200 million dollars of FX availability out into the space. It’s taken a lot of goodwill, it’s taken a lot of work from me.

“The second thing we’ve done is to box our way through the CBN to get a little allocation; because we provide the bulk of this foreign exchange, we should have a bit of it to help stabilise the situation, because fuel queues, make no mistake about it, it doesn’t matter what we achieve in our transformation agenda, is the single most difficult item, which if not solved can bring down the polity and can create mayhem here. So it is something that we have focused on. So I have been able to get some co-operation from CBN on that.

“Now, I’ve also been able to convince Mr. President to give us access to some, outside the 445,000 barrels from national production. The difficulty with that, of course, is that it goes into the FAC entity, so once you touch any barrel there, you’re going to have governors’, understandably, quarrel with you on this. But these are some of the innovative solutions we’ve done.

“We’ve thrown our creative options on the pipelines, by pointing a set of trial, by contracting contractors to get into the pipelines, and show us that they can deliver if we give them the contract.

“What that has done is that, for the first time in  eight  years, we’ve been able to capture back system 2B all the way to Ilorin. For the first time in over  six  years, we were able to pump crude from Escravos into Warri and we were able to pump oil from Brass into Port Harcourt. And we were able to pump from Warri right into Kaduna, with a few skirmishes here and there. This is the first time in over 10 years that we’ve been able to accomplish this. We accomplished this by not spending money, but owing obligations.

“Now, we are moving to the stage of contracting, where we are going to advertise this and see how we can put this as permanent features into the system. So a huge amount of work has been going on in this stream.

“Our depots are at the stage right now of looking at policies geared towards advertising and our pipelines for purposes of contracting joint ventures that will put in money, refurbish depots that had been abandoned for upwards of a decade, so that we can have the distributional network that we need to be able to solve this.

“It’s not enough to bring in the cargoes which we are beginning to do, but if you bring the cargoes and they arrive in Lagos, if you have to send 3,000 trucks round the whole country, it will take an average of  four to seven  days to do that, and the very next day, you’re back to the same place, so the sheer logistical nightmare is not what NNPC was set up to do, so we need to be able to get those pipelines back, get the depots functioning, push a lot of the responsibility to the major oil companies who are basically leaving us to do all the work and picking up the profit at the end of the day.

“So, it’s been a very difficult work, very challenging.  We’re getting to the solution, the first few cargoes are beginning to come in and I think, by the second week of April, we should be hopefully out of this queue situation. But that is not a long-term solution.

“The long term solution is that we have to throw private initiatives to the downstream. We’ve got to have a situation where we create enough policy direction, such that people can get in there and do the business. We can take care of our own filling stations, NNPC stations and perhaps some of the affiliates that are going to be with us, but that is a job we’ve done and done well but we can do it better. We can go into growing the affiliate stations even more so that we have a lot more affiliate stations that we use as response to security situations.

“But ultimately, the business must go back to where it belongs,  the private sector, not the public sector and until we do that, deal with the issue of pricing, which our price modulation has helped us manage, but not quite completely, we’re not going to solve the problem.

“Now, how do you come in? Get out into the filling stations, BYbe a proud NNPC official, HELP regulate traffic, HELP push product, HELP report scams that are going on in depots, even by our own officials and HELP talk about the change, HELP talk about the problems and BE the spokespeople for your own company, HELP create ideas. HELP suggest ways in which we can find lasting solutions to this. And if we do that, collectively, every one of us a piece, at the end of the process, people will remember the difficulties, but will also remember an NNPC that was united in the solution to this problem.

“At the end of the day, it’s not all about ME, it’s actually about YOU.”
