bisichocs:
ANYONE THAT VOTE OR SUPPORT OR ENCOURAGE BUAHRI TO COME IN FOR 2ND TERM, THIS IS WHAT WILL AFFLICT YOU AND YOUR GENERATIONS TO COME

As Nigerians with our fundamental right to vote whoever we want - whether Sowore, Moghalu, Atiku or whoever, the suffering, poverty and hunger that this tyranical government represents, we cant as a nation continue this anymore. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

- To start with, millions of people are suffering and millions are already out of jobs.
- Millions of Nigerians are badly hungry as most cant even feed their kids or family
- Tens of thousands of businesses - both small, medium and big are shut down and closed for business
- Nigerians RARELY commit suicide no matter the situation but in the last two to three years, the rate of suicidal incidences by Nigerians due to the economical disaster being experienced is damn so alarming!
- Thousands of lives accross Nigeria have been recklessly destroyed due to the worst security situation in the country perpetrated by SARS officers, Herdsmen, Re-energized Boko Haram, Police, Custom and other para-military personnels
- Farmlands, livelihoods and means of survivals of many are destroyed and battered beyond repaires due to boko haram and Militant herdsmen who have grown so much intoxicated with getting away with impunity

If you therefore support the 2nd coming of this worst affliction that is called Buhari. This is what WILL happen to you as i and other well meaning Nigerians invoked in strongest of term that the thunder strike of God almighty and the small gods of Amadioha, Sango, Obatala and so on shall strike down ON YOU, ON WHATEVER YOU DO, YOUR BUSINESS - (WONT PRAY FOR THAT ON YOUR INNOCENT CHILDREN AND UNBORN GENERATION)

In Jesus name and Insha Allah, you will alone carry on your head all the combined sufferings that Nigerians are going through. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Why all these curses? BECAUSE THESE SUFFERINGS ARE JUST TOO MUCH. WE CANT TAKE THIS ANY MORE. WE CANT. FEW OF US ARE STILL DOING FINE AND OKAY, BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR NEIGHBOURS, FRIENDS, AND OTHER NIGERIANS SUFFERING ENDLESSLY. I IS JUST TOO MUCH TO BEAR. IT IS PAINSTAINKINGLY TOO MUCH

IF BUHARI ENTERS FOR THE 2ND TERM, THEY WILL AUCTION NIGERIANS ON OLX, JIJI AND OJUELEGBA BEND DOWN SELECT. This same man that has been in government and petroleum power since early 1960s is still ruling us in 2019 and want continue till 2023 and some greediest souls on on planet Nigeria and Africa want tht to happen. WE MUST RESIST IT. ANYONE ELSE BUT FAILURE BUHARI!

As we all can see, ALL THE TRADITIONAL MEDIA HOUSES - RADIO, TV AND PRINTS (INCLUDING ALL THE CASHTIVIST) ARE ALL DEAD FROM SAYING ANYTHING BECAUSE IF THEY SAY ANYTHING, SECURITY DOGS AND BABOONS BY THIS TYRANICAL GOVERNMENT WOULD BE SET AGAINST THEM!

Fellow Nigerians, Please, let us work together to take away the worst reproach from Nigeria - HAUSA, IGBO, ITSHEKIRI, BENIN, EGBE, IKALE, YORUBA, AWORI, TIV, ETC, lets make Nigeria the true Nigeria that we want it to be!

Stop Campaigning for Buhari, Atiku Warns Obiano
By editor - 9 hours ago


Alhaji Atiku Abubakar


Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has, through the Director-General of Atiku-Obi Campaign Organisation, Harry Oranezi, warned the Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, to stop campaigning for President Muhammadu Buhari.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the warning came following recent comments credited to Obiano wherein he stated that Buhari had done well for the South-east and South-south geopolitical zones for commencing work on the second Niger Bridge.

The governor also had reportedly hailed Buhari for completing the Zik Mausoleum in Onitsha, otherwise known as Zik Place, awarded 22 years ago, but abandoned by successive administrations.

But Atiku said Obiano’s support for Buhari ran “counter to the collective and corporate interests of the Igbo.”

According to the statement, “Obiano support for Buhari is in utter disregard to his (Buhari’s) penchant to marginalise and discriminate against the people of the South-east and Anambra State in particular.

“Buhari has continued to maintain studied silence over the massacre of innocent South Easterners in the North, strategic exclusion of South-east in rail connection, security architecture of the country and sundry appointments.

“The Igbo’s shall not be deceived by the actions and utterances of persons who want to achieve ill-conceived objectives.”

Obiano had expressed satisfaction with the standard and pace of work on the Second Niger Bridge as he also thanked the Buhari administration for completing the Zik Mausoleum. The Mausoleum is located at the popular Borome in Onitsha, the commercial nerve of Anambra, and home of the first President of Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Obiano spoke during some visits to the mausoleum and the Second Niger Bridge.

He said the completion of the mausoleum by the Buhari administration was an immeasurable honour to Anambra people and the entire South-east people. Obiano said that previous administrations paid lip services to the project, resulting to its abandonment for more than 20 years.

The governor also appealed to the federal government to step up action in the procurement of necessary facilities for the library section.

He said it would be nice to have everything in place before the visit of the president to Anambra State in a few weeks’ time for the inauguration of the mausoleum.

“President Buhari is determined to keep to his promises on the Zik’s mausoleum.

“The project is an honour to Zik of Africa, who played major roles in shaping the nation.

PoliticsRe: 800 Companies Shut Down In 3 Years - NACCIMA (Throwback) by Em5(m): 10:24am On Dec 21, 2018
Monimatic:
Commerce Association says that more than half of the surviving firms are “ailing”.

At least 800 companies closed shop in Nigeria between 2009 and 2011, due to the harsh operating business environment, the Nigerian Chambers of Commerce has said.

The companies that have survived are also having serious challenges as more than half of them have been classified as “ailing.’’


This was disclosed by the President of Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, NACCIMA, Herbert Ajayi, on Tuesday, in Asaba, in a paper he presented at a zonal workshop on economic diversification organised by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC.

Mr. Ajay said the current situation of the “surviving” industries poses a great threat to the survival of the manufacturing industry. He added that capacity utilisation in industries hovers around 30 per cent and 45 per cent on the average, with 100 per cent overhead costs.

He blamed the continued decline in the manufacturing sectors on “political and economic factors’’, citing poor infrastructure and epileptic power supply as key impediments to the industry.

“The manufacturing industry as a whole operates on more than 70 per cent of energy it generates, using generators; and operating these generators greatly increases the cost of manufacturing goods,’’ he said.

The industrialist gave other reasons for the woes in the sector as incessant increase in the price of petroleum products used by industries, multiple taxation, unabated smuggling and inadequate access to finance, both local and abroad.

He said widespread insecurity and the inability of government agencies in the ports to meet their 24-hour target, for cargo clearance, have contributed to the dwindling fortunes in the manufacturing sector.

Government efforts inadequate

The NACCIMA president, whose speech was delivered by the Vice President of the association, Mary Iyasere, described current government policies to revive the manufacturing industry as inadequate.

“For instance, in May 2010, the government announced a 1.3 billion-dollar fund to help banks extend credit to the manufacturing sector following the decline in available finance after the global economic crisis had set in.

“Notwithstanding this positive development arising from the reform process, the Nigerian economy, especially the manufacturing sector is still confronted by serious challenges, structural imbalance and lack of diversification,” he said.

“The current government policies targeted at the real sector (manufacturing) are also inadequate and preventing the manufacturing industry from flourishing,” he added.

The way forward

On the way forward, Mr. Ajayi stressed the need for the organised private sector to support the government’s efforts to revitalise the sector through the much-canvassed public private partnership.

He also called for more transparency in the ongoing government-led privatisation exercise of public enterprises.

Quoting statistics from the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), Mr. Ajayi said between 1999 and 2011, a total of 121 firms were privatised or commercialised, with about N250 billion realised from their sale.

“It was also reported that 81 of the privatised firms were operating at about 66 per cent and 41 at 34 per cent performance level,” he added.

The NACCIMA president, however, observed that the figures are in stark contrast to the position of the Senate ad-hoc Committee on Privatisation, which posited that 80 per cent of the firms are not performing.

In addition, he said Nigeria can borrow from the lessons of the economic policies of the “Asian Tigers” — Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan — to boost the manufacturing sector.

He, however, warned that Nigeria must exercise “caution” in trying to imitate the Asian policies. He explained that government needs to consider the peculiarities of the nation’s economy and marry it with those of Asia in areas “where policies are applicable rather than wholesale adoption”.

“This is because the casualty between growth and industrialisation could prove to be a costly mistake as seen in other countries, in pushing for rapid industrialisation,’’ Mr. Ajayi stated.

Christianity EtcHow Did The Hebrew Women Deliver? by Em5(op): 2:20pm On Oct 21, 2018
You’ve probably heard many things about “Hebrew women delivery”. I’ve even heard of women refusing caesarean sections because they want to “deliver like the Hebrew women.”

It’s not a bad thing to want a vaginal delivery – it certainly has its advantages –but when this desire becomes spiritualized to the point of demonizing Caesarean sections and insisting on a vaginal birth or nothing, it is nothing short of ridiculous.

It becomes even more tragic when you settle down to read your Bible and realize that the entire “deliver like the Hebrew women” movement is largely driven by ignorance. How do I mean?

The phrase, “deliver like the Hebrew women” comes from Exodus 1:19. At this time, the Hebrew people were slaves in Egypt and the days of their bondage were coming to an end. Their God-ordained deliverer, Moses, would soon be born.

About this time, Pharaoh, the King of Egypt decided that these Israelites were simply too many. Their number kept increasing despite the fact that they were increasingly oppressed by their slave masters. Pharaoh said to his people, “Look, the people of Israel now outnumber us and are stronger than we are. We must make a plan to keep them from growing even more. If we don’t, and if war breaks out, they will join our enemies and fight against us. Then they will escape from the country.”

A central part of the plan they came up with was the killing of all Hebrew baby boys at birth. Pharaoh ordered the midwives thus: “When you help the Hebrew women as they give birth, watch as they deliver. If the baby is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live.”

However, the midwives did not obey their king. Verse 17 says, “But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king’s orders. They allowed the boys to live, too.” They delivered the Hebrew women of their babies and spared the boys’ lives, and the Bible says God blessed them greatly for it.

Of course, it didn’t take too long for Pharaoh to realize that his orders were not being carried out, and he sent for the midwives and queried them. “Why have you done this?” he demanded. “Why have you allowed the boys to live?”

The midwives could not tell their king that they delivered the Hebrew babies but deliberately allowed the boys to live because they feared God.

So, they lied. The fabricated an excuse that went thus: “Oh king, it’s not our fault. The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women. They are more vigorous and have their babies so quickly that we cannot get there in time.”

They lied. The midwives delivered the Hebrew women of their babies just as they did other women (using whatever methods existed back then!) and decided to spare the boys’ lives.

The Hebrew women didn’t have their babies before the midwives got there; Exodus 1:17 makes this clear. That’s just something the midwives made up to avoid Pharaoh’s wrath. This is very clear to anyone who settles down to actually read the story in a language they understand (simple English is not simple enough for everyone).

We need this Hebrew women delivery nonsense to stop, both on and off the pulpit.

Let’s not be unfortunate, please. If you need medication, take it when it is offered. If you want an epidural and it’s available, take it. If a Caesarean section will save your life and that of your unborn child, by all means, go for it!

How did the Hebrew women deliver? Like every other woman in that time! Apart from this one lie the midwives told, no other special form of delivery is mentioned anywhere in the Bible!

We need to educate as many women as we can. Come down to their level if necessary, please. It’s okay to want the smoothest delivery possible, and if that happens, great. Just don’t call it “Hebrew women delivery” – something that never even existed – and then try to make other women who didn’t have this kind of delivery feel less spiritual, less loved by God, or even feel like they’re under a curse. It is our responsibility to gently and firmly squash this deadly ignorance every chance we get and replace it with the light of knowledge.

Life to mothers and their babies everywhere!

Murtala Mohammed was Nigeria’s former military head of state. He became president on July 30, 1975.

During his brief stint as Nigeria’s leader, he acquired a reputation as a leader who traveled about without the fanfare typically associated with leaders in Nigeria. He hardly traveled in a convoy of attached vehicles. He was not known to blare sirens whenever he traveled in his car. He often travels incognito.

On February 13, 1976, while on his way to his office at Dodan Barracks, Lagos, a group of soldiers ambushed his car.

Murtala Muhammed, aged 37, was shot and killed, along with his Aide-De-Camp (ADC), Lieutenant Akintunde Akinsehinwa, in his black Mercedes Benz saloon in an abortive coup attempt led by Lt. Col Buka Suka Dimka,

The black Mercedes Benz saloon is kept at the National Museum, Lagos. The well-maintained car still has over 20 bullet holes on its.

The assassinated President's car attracts 2000 tourists monthly.

The car is perhaps the most well-maintained car in Nigeria today.

So, Yesterday was my birthday but before that, two days to my birthday, i changed my facebook birthday date to another date. I really wanted to know if my close friends knew my date and won't be waiting for any facebook reminder.

The result i got though have really made me to ask myself if my 'close friends' are really my close friends. My 'best friend' that I've known for nine years now haven't called me up till today to wish me happy birthday or apologize for not remembering. I remember trying to call him on his birthday and his number wasn't going through, i had to call his girlfriend in order to reach him and his comment when I later got through to him that night was 'It's now you're calling me since morning'. Likewise my female 'bestie' that I've known for 6 years now,she hasn't called either. The list goes on. My dad, in his late 60s though, didn't remember my birthday as well. I had to tell my mum and siblings not to remind him so I'll see if he remembers. At 28,i believe I'm not a kid though to be wanting affection and birthday wishes from my old man but I just feel it's something a parent shouldn't forget. To crown it all, I got a girlfriend this past January and Yea, she forgot my birthday as well after most recently telling her last week Thursday. She called and texted today to apologize but I just told her to give me a week off without calls, texts or visits. Although she didn't agree and was still persistent but that's the verdict I have for her.

All in all though, I was and I'm still kinda disappointed with these 'Key' people in my life that I expected not to ever forget such an important day to me but they all did. But still, I don't think it should make me change my mindset towards them even though it hurts.

So guys, passing the speech stick to you, 'How would you feel if your loved one forgot your birthday?'
I see childishness here, you really really nor get work.

Foreign AffairsMy Wife Cries Daily, Says Robert Mugabe by Em5(op): 6:31am On Feb 26, 2018
Former Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe says his wife, Grace, cries daily over the harassment she receives, especially over her bogus doctorate degree.

NAN reports that it is the first time the former Zimbabwe leader would speak on the emotional torment of his wife, three months after he was forced to step down by the military.

Mugabe reportedly made the disclosure at a meeting with Moussa Faki Mahamat, African Union chairperson, during a courtesy call he made to the Mugabes at their Blue Roof Harare mansion.

The former leader also told Mahamat that he doesn’t feel safe and that his pension has not been paid by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

“They told you I was safe, but how can I be in this environment?,” Mugabe reportedly told Faki at the meeting on February 19.

“My wife is crying daily. They are persecuting her… What am I without my wife and family? We are not safe,” the Zimbabwe Independent quoted Mugabe as saying, citing “detailed notes” supplied by officials who attended the meeting.

Mugabe said his wife was being harassed over her PhD from the University of Zimbabwe. Last week UZ Vice Chancellor Levi Nyagura was arrested for alleged abuse of office for awarding her the degree in 2014. Critics say her thesis is nowhere near PhD standard.

Mugabe reportedly insisted to Faki the PhD was genuine: “I used to see her here working hard day and night. I would assist her here and there, so how can someone wake up and claim she didn’t work for it? This is harassment.”

According to the leaked notes, Mugabe told Faki that Mnangagwa’s appointment as president was illegal, and appealed to the AU to help restore democracy in the country.

“We want you to assist to restore normalcy and democracy in the country and stop this thing of ruling through guns,” he reportedly said.

Mahamat had earlier visited President Emmerson Mnangagwa and tweeted about the double visits.

EducationJAMB Official Blames Boko Haram For Missing Funds, Another Says Povert Stole N7m by Em5(op): 4:47pm On Feb 16, 2018
The Yobe State Coordinator of the Joint Admission Matriculation Board, Sanusi Atose, has blamed the ongoing Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria’s North-East for his inability to account for N613,000 belonging to the board.

JAMB had summoned Mr. Atose to Abuja to appear before an administrative panel led by Registrar Ishaq Oloyede to explain the disappearance of the cash after he received registration scratch cards of that amount.

But in his explanation, the official, according to details of the session exclusively obtained by PREMIUM TIMES, claimed an alleged Boko Haram attack in Yobe State left him unable to account for the money.

Mr. Atose said tellers, receipts and invoices were destroyed in the attack, which he said left him with no documentation for the transaction.

Mr. Oloyede, a professor, however, dismissed Mr. Atose’s claim as another disingenuous cover-up for fraud.

“Kindly go and pay government money within one week, else you will be in trouble,” the registrar told Mr. Atose.

Also appearing before the panel, Daniel Agbor, who is the Kogi State coordinator of JAMB, said he spent N7 million his office could not account for on assisting other workers in his office, who he said were ravaged by poverty.

He also claimed that some of the cards sent to the state were stolen by unknown persons.

“The state of the state offices is such that we are in poverty and money is there with us,” the coordinator told the panel.

“You need the grace of God in the state offices not to steal money because money is tempting. We borrowed the money and I am not the only one, I will provide the list of everyone involved in the fraud,” Mr Agbor said.

“To err is human, to forgive is divine, please don’t take me to the police, please be lenient with me, sir,” he pleaded.

“If you hear that I have given up in the police cell, will you say I am sorry? I just gave birth to my first issue. Most of us are on loan, my salary is N175, 000, but when they deduct my loans, my salary remains N90,000, which is not enough for me so I borrowed from the government purse,” Mr. Agbor said.

Mr. Agbor told the panel that he paid N265,000 into an account allegedly on the instruction of the former registrar of the board.

“I was informed of missing scratch cards, but security personnel, the police and civil defence, invaded the office, retrieved the cards and they paid some money back. I informed the former registrar and he directed me to send the money to an account, which I did. I later learnt the money was transferred to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence. So that one was not calculated at all,” he said.

But the panel told Mr. Agbor his defence was untenable.

“I will give you one week from today as we speak,” Mr. Oloyede told the coordinator. “I want to see you pay everything in your custody, else I will hand you over to the police.

“Deduct the N265, 000 from the N7 million, then give us the account in which the former registrar gave you to send the money to.”

JAMB became a subject of intense media scrutiny this week following reports that an official at its Makurdi, Benue State office, Philomena Chieshe, claimed a snake swallowed N36 million government cash in her custody.

Since the revelation, more stranger-than-fiction claims by JAMB officials, accused of fraud, have emerged.

On Wednesday, Premium Times reported that the state coordinator of the board in Nasarawa State, Labaran Tanko, claimed that scratch cards worth N23 million were destroyed when his car caught fire.

The bizarre claims were made before an investigative panel set up by JAMB following the discovery of widespread fraud in its state offices.

The fraud involved the sale of scratch cards to candidates for admission to tertiary institutions in Nigeria. JAMB was set up in 1978 to coordinate and streamline admission into undergraduate courses in tertiary institutions in the country.

Before Mr. Oloyede’s tenure as registrar, candidates purchased scratch cards at JAMB’s state offices and other designated centres to register for examination or check admission status.

However, reforms introduced by the new registrar since 2016 ended the use of scratch cards and replaced it with a more efficient platforms such as E-pins.

Yet more bizarre claims

Murtala Abdul, a staff of the board in Gombe State, reported that some officials forged his signature and stole N10,283,000 at the state office.

“We discovered a shortfall of over N600,000 after reconciliation of accounts but we later discovered we overpaid on the change of institution scratch cards,” Mr Abdul said.

“In the course of reconciliation, the marketing team came up with another invoice which I was told I collected in 2015. Someone copied my signature that I signed to collect the scratch cards,” he said.

The registrar dismissed Mr. Abdul’s claim, observing that his signature was not forged and that he signed the two documents on different occasions when he collected the scratch cards.

“We have uncovered what had not been discovered before. The investigation carried out in your state indicates that the sum of N10,283,000 is missing from your end. Are you saying the official that gave you the scratch cards does not know you and you said someone forged your signature?” Mr. Oloyede asked Mr. Abdul.

“The teams in charge of giving scratch cards to states have two documents that must be signed before a state coordinator can collect the scratch cards; which you collected, signed and you just confirmed it that you signed for the cards,” Mr. Oloyede added.

In the case of Ondo State, the state coordinator, Olaolu Adeniyi, said N1.34 million disappeared when his accountant was on dialysis.

“My accountant told me that he handed all the money to his deputy and the deputy confirmed that he has spent the money,” Mr Adeniyi told the panel.

Addressing the panel, Mr. Oloyede said his appointment as Registrar of the board made him see that corruption has different grades.

“When I hear the amount of money that is missing, I get scared. This is government money,” the registrar said.

“I gave all state coordinators notice that I was going to stop the sale of scratch cards but they thought it was not possible because they thought they could stall the process internally.

“The state coordinators thought I was going to use internal mechanism to stop the sale of scratch cards. But I must sincerely commend the effort of the external consultant that I brought in,” Mr. Oloyede said.

During the session, the panel pointed out that in some other states, the state coordinators simply could not explain how money dissappeared.

For instance, Yakubu Aliu, the coordinator of Kano State could not account for N20 million; and Priscilla Ogunsola for N31 million in Edo State.

In Plateau State, Zakada Yakubu could not explain the disappearance of N15 million.

Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES later, the spokesperson of the board, Fabian Benjamin, said all the officials suspected of fraud had been suspended for failure to account for money at their disposal.

“The committee has written a report on the suspects and it has been submitted to the Federal Ministry of Education,” Mr. Benjamin said. Once it is approved, immediate action will be taken. As you know, there are procedures in the civil service.”

“The board will make sure it wipes out every act of crime and criminality.”

Exactly this is what is getting Nigeria expelled from the international banking system

Customer confidentiality is paramount, even if you must get details of transaction as part of law enforcement, you don't publish it on paper

Before the end of the year, we the youth will be the ones greatly affected when our debit cards no longer works on any international payment platform, if Nigeria is sanctioned
Crap, this is what is obtainable even in other climes

Do we need further prove than what is shared here? Aroms took on himself to wear body cam, they had no idea that they are being recorded. Look at the few times they gazed towards the cam and no single reaction of shock or query. This means they had no idea they are being recorded.

Aroms also stated that if they want, he can take them to where these guys are.
