Noisyrians:
Funny nigerian journalists asking what his “demands” will be. Can you imagine the nonsense! The man is coming to Ghana beg for mercy and you are asking what are your demands? grin

Most Nigerians still live in the 1960s and 1970s. Most of them have never even traveled in their miserable lives. So they believe it when their lying politicians and officials tell them nigeria is a giant in Africa grin stupid giant grin when you see a giant, you will not know?

A country that cannot provide ordinary electricity, where people are kidnapped at random, for a ransom of coke and gala. An oil and gas-rich country that has become the poverty capital of the world. Who will take such a country seriously?

Tell your speaker or whatever to stay at home. Elections are around the corner in Ghana, nobody will listen to him because most Ghanaians support how the Ghanaian government is dealing with the Nigerians. They have asked for it many times and the President cannot afford to lose votes over a decision that does not sit well with the Ghanaian voters. Fuckeduppedness grin
That's the sad reality.
Although you can phrase it better without insults,what you spoken is plain truth.

A video has emerged on how a passenger’s luggage was stolen by touts at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Naijadriva reports.

A video obtained by Naijadriva shows when a passenger’s luggage was presumed stolen by touts at the International wing of Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.

It is no more news that Nigeria Airports is bedeviled by touts, thefts, extortion and begging by Immigration and airport staff, and so on.

Following the rising cases of[b] theft including a recent robbery of a private jet waiting to take off after bandits accessed the airside of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos,[/b] the federal government recently reinforced the security apparatus at the nation’s airports.

The new strategy, to combat these vices include: the expansion of areas covered by the Close-Circuit Television (CCTV), reinforcement of security team that patrols all areas of the airports, profiling of Aviation Security (AVSEC) personnel, close monitoring of airport users and workers and ban to persons who have been sacked from the airport from gaining access to any of the airports unless they are travelling and other security details not made known due to security reasons.

However, things are yet to be “normal” at our airports as some of the vices are still prevalent, like this case of stolen luggage.

US preacher asks followers to help buy fourth private jet
Jesse Duplantis said the jet would not be for his personal use, but instead "belong to the ministry"
A US televangelist has asked his followers to help fund his fourth private jet - because Jesus "wouldn't be riding a donkey".

Jesse Duplantis said God had told him to buy a Falcoln 7X for $54m (£41m).

He added he was hesitant about the purchase at first, but said God had told him: "I didn't ask you to pay for it. I asked you to believe for it."

Although preachers owning private jets is not unusual, this particular appeal has caused controversy.

Twitter users responded to the request with disbelief, with many quoting Bible verses warning against greed and "false prophets", or suggesting that the money could be better used to help the poor.

In a video address posted on his website, 68-year-old Mr Duplantis explained: "You know, I've owned three different jets in my life, and I've used them and just burning them up for the Lord Jesus Christ.

"Now, some people believe that preachers shouldn't have jets. I really believe that preachers ought to go on every available voice, every available outlet, to get this Gospel preached to the world."

Standing beside framed pictures of his current fleet, he said that the jet he bought 12 years ago was no longer sufficient for his ministry because he could not fly non-stop, meaning he had to pay "exorbitant" refuelling costs.



End of Twitter post by @jesse_duplantis
Another picture which appeared in the video showed the preacher standing with the three aircraft, above the caption: "It's not about possessions, it's about priorities."

Mr Duplantis justified the request by saying that Jesus had told people to "go into the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, now how we gonna do that? I can't live long enough to travel by car or by ship or by train, but I can do it by an aeroplane".

In 2015, Mr Duplantis appeared in a video with another preacher, Kenneth Copeland, in which Mr Copeland described travelling on commercial airlines as being "in a long tube with a bunch of demons".

India doing extremely well on electrification: World Bank
The report comes less than a week after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that all the villages in the country have been electrified.

India doing extremely well on electrification: World Bank The report said that nearly 85 per cent of the country’s population has access to electricity.
India is doing “extremely well” on electrification with nearly 85 per cent of the country’s population having access to electricity, the World Bank has said.

Between 2010 and 2016, India providing electricity to 30 million people each year, more than any other country, the World Bank said in its latest report released this week.

While challenges still remain to provide electricity to the rest of the 15 per cent of the 1.25 billion population, India is all set to achieve the target of universal access to electricity before the 2030 target date, Vivien Foster, Lead Energy Economist at the World Bank here told PTI.

The report comes less than a week after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that all the villages in the country have been electrified.

The report said that nearly 85 per cent of the country’s population has access to electricity.

“India is doing extremely well on electrification. We are reporting India about 85 per cent of the population has access to electricity,” said Foster, lead World Bank author of the latest report on Energy Progress.

This figure, she pointed out, is higher than that of the Indian government. “That might surprise you. The government is currently reporting in low 80s,” she said.

While the World Bank’s methodology is based on household survey, which includes even those who are off grid, while the figures of the government is based on official utility connection, she said.

“In absolute terms, India is doing more on electrification than any other countries. Thirty million a year, is really an astounding performance and it stands out from the crowd,” Foster said.

However, India is not the fastest country in electrification. Bangladesh and Kenya, for example are faster in electrification than India, she noted.

India, she said, is now entering final stage of electrification.

Nigeria has to do well on electricity and security ,then sky is the limit

Politics › Nigeria And Crime In India by EKONGKING(op): 10:46am On Dec 02, 2017
The relationship between criminal activities and foreigners seems to have reversed over the past few years. Recently-released data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) reveals that contrary to the perception that foreigners are often victims of crime in Goa, statistics show that more crimes are committed by foreigners than against them.

Violence against foreigners recently garnered international attention following the rape and murder of 28-year-old Irish national DanielMcLaughlin in Canacona, which 'hurt' Goa's image as a tourist-friendly destination. As per NCRB data for 2016, while there were 22 crimes against foreigners, crimes committed by foreigners rose to 80, as against 69 the previous year. This includes 6.5% of all crimes committed by foreigners in India.

Of the 80 cases, one is a murder, three are rape, and 21 are cheating. There are also two cases of forgery, 20 under the Foreigner's Act, and 14 instances of crimes under the NDPS Act ..Speaking to TOI, crime branch superintendent of police (SP) Karthik Kashyap said most cases against foreigners are regarding drugs and overstaying. Also, most of those involved in these cases are Nigerians.

Since the number of foreigners involved in criminal activity is on the rise, the state government has decided to speed up the process of setting up a detention centre in Mapusa.

Goa police say that many Africans, especially those from Nigeria, are involved in the drug trade and don't have any documents to prove their nationality. In the absence of a detention centre, foreigners move around freely in the state after securing bail, cops say.
So dire is the situation, sources say, that some foreigners even choose to intentionally get nabbed for narcotics-related crimes just to extend their stay in Goa.

Business › Naira Falls Further To 414/dollar by EKONGKING(op): 11:26am On Aug 29, 2016
The naira fell to a new low of 414 against the United States dollar on Sunday amid the continued scarcity of foreign exchange in the country, with economic experts predicting further pressure in the forex market this week.

The development came five days after the Central Bank of Nigeria had banned nine commercial banks from the forex market for failing to remit the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s $2.334bn into the Treasury Single Account in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive last September.

The naira was sold for 414/dollar across some black market segments in Lagos and Abuja on Sunday. It hit an all-time low of 412 against the greenback at the parallel market on Friday, after closing at 409/dollar on Thursday.



On Wednesday, a day after the CBN banned the nine banks from the forex market, the local currency depreciated to 402/dollar, down from the 397 it closed against the greenback on Tuesday.

Forex dealers said the demand pressure on the dollar, mounted by summer travellers and parents paying schools fees of their children studying overseas, was exacerbated by the CBN’s forex ban on the nine lenders.

The currency dealers said the naira started falling after the CBN banned the lenders from forex transactions.

It first touched 400/dollar at the black market this month since the CBN floated the currency on the official interbank market in June.

At the interbank market, the naira closed at 314.95 on Friday, with traders saying interbank rates would ease this week when part of July’s budget allocation must have entered the banking system.

But experts said the naira would plunge further against the US dollar this week at the parallel market as forex supply remained a major challenge.

Forex traders said even though the CBN had continued to sell dollars daily on the interbank market, its efforts were considered weak and inadequate, Reuters reported.

The Chief Executive Officer, Cowry Asset Management Limited, Mr. Johnson Chukwu, said, “There is nothing in the policy environment that will arrest the decline unless the central bank has increased capacity to supply the market, which unfortunately it doesn’t have. So, we should expect the naira to remain under pressure in the coming week.”

He said for the naira to stabilise, there must be a funding that the Federal Government or the CBN could access, such as a credit support from either the World Bank or a trading partner like China.

Chukwu said, “The decline of the naira against the dollar is beyond the recent suspension of some banks from the forex market. We have witnessed suspension of banks in the past, and it did not lead to any spike in exchange rate. The major challenge we have now is supply shortage. If that improves, naira will stabilise.”

He said the naira might hit a low of 420 to the dollar this week.

A currency analyst at Ecobank, Mr. Kunle Ezun, said the supply issue, ban on 41 items from the official forex market and activities of speculators would continue to push the value of the dollar up against the naira.

He said, “Sincerely, there is no major thing that one can expect in the parallel market. The only thing that could bring calm to the market is the supply of the US dollar. What we have in the market is basically demand and supply interplay.”

According to him, the volatility in the parallel market will continue as the importers of the banned 41 items have resorted to the market.

“A lot of people in the official market will want to actually maximise the gains on their dollar holding by channelling it through the parallel market,” Ezun said.
