[quote author=iLegenddNoReply post=112306104]Let's assume 2,290 Naira is equivalent to Dollar at the time. If so, that means 2,290 Naira equals $2,290.

Using today's exchange rate of 594/$, that means 2290 * 594 = 1,360,260. Approximately 1.4 million Naira of today. With 1.3, you can buy a car today — even if it's tokunbo.

So, it's wise to make your money in Dollar and convert to Naira. With this, you won't feel the difference that much.[/quote

Almost on point but that time 1N=$2
So N2290 = $4,580

Odidigboigbo:
Whether NAS delete it or not, that section of the electoral act cannot stand, it's at variance with the constitution. The constitution is clear on this matter, any act or law that is not in concurrent with the constitution, the constitution takes precedence. The constitution says governments appointees should resigned a month before the election, If NAS is serious, they supposed to have amends this section of the constitution before inputting it in the electoral act.

Well said!

They call us lazy youths, that all we know how to do best is focus our energy on BBN. Now the monsters are out on the street and no more twitter cry.

On a lighter note, are you sure is just end sars naija is calling for. Cos the ig already ended that shit, at least on paper. Naija abeg speak up on other issues.

bros from day 1 this is not about end SARS, it is about frustration with the system.

Everything he said here makes sense to me. We didn't choose the best of us from north so we'll continue to suffer insults from his bad precedence. The worst part of it is that the living condition of the average northerner has worsened. This is not the change we voted for.

the North and Muslim fanatics are just the problem with Nigeria

Boko Haram is fighting the state which belongs to both muslims and christians and others

Kill him without ditching out the information about his sponsors? Arrest, try and hang him

I'm not from Kwara, I love how the Saraki dynasty was dismantled, I'm pro APC but these photos aren't doing justice to a supposed 300 million dollar project.

Heck nothing suggests even 300 million Naira has been spent.

This is Private investment by BUA group.

engrfaruq:
Make sure you make findings before making comments

He doesn't know Lawan is Bade from Gashua

The best comment ever on Zamfara rulings without being politicised along party lines. Nothing like mentioning of PDP or APC issue. It is just a bitter lesson to the dogmatic outgoing Governor. Oshiomole and Marafa are vindicated. The right thing must be done in anointing a party candidate for any position.

edunwablog:
Mr Peter Obi, the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February election, has urged the Zamfara Governor-elect, Dr Bello Matawalle to work for the people.

Obi gave the advice in a statement issued by his Media Office on Saturday in Abuja.

He advised Matawalle and other PDP candidates declared winners of the National and State Houses of Assembly elections by the ruling of the Supreme Court to see their victory as a challenge to work hard and to uplift Zamfara.

He said that God must have a reason for making Matawalle to have the mandate of the people of the embattled state at the moment.

Obi said that the fallout from Zamfara should teach politicians a lesson that God has the final say on who gets what position.

The former Governor of Anambra told those who emerged victorious in Zamfara that the current security situation in the state had thrown up a huge challenge for them.

He said that being a beneficiary of the rule of law they should do everything humanly possible while in office to uphold the sanctity of the judiciary as a critical component of democratic rule.

He also praised the Judiciary for always being there to right the wrong of politicians, saying that it was the reason the system created separation of powers.

Obi urged politicians to see the fallout from Zamfara as a reason to believe in the supremacy of God in all their struggles for political power and positions.

You have said it all.

LibertyRep:
Truth be told, they aren't meant to remain in the camp forever.

I don't buy this election blackmail. The ruling party will most likely get more votes from them at the IDP camps than when returned to their various abodes. (Except if IDPs don't vote).

But then, you never can trust the government.

The op is out for mischief. Do fact finding before twisting any post, and for those commenting do a background check. Kauru was a district under Zaria Emirate. Itvwas later upgraded to an independent chiefdom and now Emirate. Kauru emirate is different from Kauru Local Government. The former are predominantly Hausa/Fulani while the later have many chiefdoms of predominantly Christian communities.
This is applicable to only Kauru Emirate not the entire Kauru local govt.

Bro. You aptly captured it all. One day we will get there. Actually every passing generation has its own challenges and is only those with the like experience who have been able to clear the wood and come out successful can proffer the solutions.

trillville:
When I say we need a youth as president, people will argue with me.

Buhari's generation is still stuck on the civil war. That was the biggest challenge of their time. The generation after him (dem Tinubu) fought for democracy and that was their own challenge.

Our biggest challenge today is unemployment and underemployment. Our insecurity issues are largely derived from the level of poverty in the nation. These old men will never understand this.

They believe that if a person does not go to school, the person should be doomed to extreme poverty. They do not consider that God did not make us all with the same level of intelligence.

All Nigerians deserve living wages irrespective of educational qualification. The moment we get a president with this mind set, Nigeria would start to progress.

Karma!

My thought really, what a prophecy

omowolewa:
The two are mutually exclusive,

If Tinubu will be used and dumped, then no need for Saraki's contest again because he won't win

This man is not commenting on any issue of delovelopment except on Hausa/Fulani & Herds men killings. Worse still, he is not suggesting anything good to tackle the problem but echoing hatred and disunity. What a statesman indeed!

Ebullience:
A former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani Kayode has reacted to the killing of Officer-in-Charge of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, Saki Unit in the Oyo State Police Command by Fulani herdsmen.

The SARS boss was reported to have been macheted to death by the Fulani herdsmen during an operation in a forest on the Saki-Ogbooro Road in Oke-Ogun area of the state.


Reacting , Fani Kayode said law and order had been broken in the country as no one was safe, even security agents, from Fulani herdsmen whom he described as ‘Bloodsucking’.

On his official twitter page, he wrote “A SARS police officer was cut into tiny pieces with matchets by Fulani terrorists in Saki, Oyo state yesterday. Law and order has broken down and even our security agents are being targeted and slaughtered in open daylight by these bloodthirsty and bloodsucking Fulani herdsmen.‎”

NASS members on a mission to crash the war against corruption?

By Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (Rtd.)

There are good reasons why Nigerians should take more than a passing interest in the controversy generated by the actions ofmembers of the Senate Committee on Customs, Excise and Tariffs and that of the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA). If the reports in the media are true, the matter goes beyond the victimisation of one organ of government by another. It is a possibility that members of the National Assembly might be on a mission to crash the Federal Government's war against corruption using the power of ‘oversight’ as cover. Two recent incidents would serve to illustrate the danger.Sometime in October/November, 2016, a rice trading company, Master Energy Commodities Trading Limited, imported into Nigeria 1,200 metric tons of rice in 30, 40-foot containers. In their attempt to evade paying the correct custom duties, they declared the ‘rice’ consignment as ‘yeast.’ The goods were later intercepted and seized on the orders of the Controller-General of Customs (CGC), Col. Hamid Ali (rtd). Unfortunately, this seemingly patriotic action by a public officer was seen as an affront to one senior member of the National Assembly. A Senator, the leader ofthe Senate Committee on Customs, Excise& Tariff, wrote the CGC demanding that the consignment be released forthwith, on the dubious claim that he had investigated the matter and had found the importer blameless. His findings? That it was the clearing agent not the importer that called the goods ‘yeast’ instead of ‘rice’!The CGC brushed aside this incredible story; as any right thinking person would do.But to the shock of many Nigerians, all hell broke loose. The Senate Committee then summoned the CGC to appear before them in uniform, seeing that as a retired Army colonel, he had refrained from wearing the Customs uniform. He was also directed to answer a long list of queries by this same angry panel. In the end, he was dragged before the Senate at plenary, put through a cruel inquisition, publicly humiliated and dismissed as "not fit to hold public office."Fast-forward to last week. This time, a dubious scheme was uncovered in which a subsidiary company of the NPA went into a joint venture with a private company to manage the Calabar Port. Both the NPA subsidiary, called Calabar Channel Management, and the private company, Niger Global Engineering & Technical Company Limited, were incorporated together in 2014 just for this deal. The purported JV partner was then awarded a contract to dredge the Calabar channel, a contract the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPE) was to condemn as violating all due processes. This did not discourage them from demanding and getting a whopping US$12.5 million upfront payment from the NPA, or asking for a purported balance of US$22 million.In the meantime, a rash of petitions and reports had inundated the NPA against this contract, with many alleging it to be a bogus scam to siphon public funds. BPE was the first to cry out, saying both the award of the dredging contract and the initial payment of over N4 billion to Messrs Niger Global Engineering & Technical Company Limited were done in violation of the law. Even worse, all efforts of the new management of the NPA under Ms. Hadiza Bala Usman to find evidence of the dredging work purported to have been donein the Calabar channel at the time the company claimed to have done so were unsuccessful.That is not all. There was also the report by a consultant that advised against a joint venture partnership for the purpose of managing the Calabar Port. Their reason was simply that maritime activities in the Calabar Port were too low, and that a joint venture scheme as obtained in Lagos and Bony was unsustainable.Faced with these negative outcomes, the NPA management decided that national interest would be better served if the JV scheme, as well as the so-called dredging project are terminated. On its part, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has moved in with a mission to “recover public funds collected for job not done.”Now, the name of the person driving this scheme is quite instructive going by the very loud and sustained counter attacks being mounted against the public officers; officers that insist that right things are done. He is the leader of the Senate Committee on Customs, Excise and Tariff. He is the owner of both the Niger Global Engineering & Technical Company Limited as well as the rice smuggling giant, Master Energy Commodities Trading Limited.Nigerians must not leave the likes of HamidAli, Ibrahim Magu, Hadiza Bala Usman, (former BPP DG) Emeka Nzeh et al at the mercy of these strange law makers; politicians that have demonstrated time and again that they are in politics to serve themselves and themselves alone.The experience of Hadiza Usman, the new MD of the NPA, is particularly sad. The more she tries to fight to reduce graft and perfidy, the more determined they seem to mobilise against her, to neutralise her and see her back. They want her out because, they now claim, she is ‘too young’ to manage a complex organisation such as NPA – even though she is past 40 years of age. Unashamed, they question the wisdomof appointing a woman to such a post – hertraining and experience counting for nothing; apparently.Incidents such as these are the reason the Nigerian public feels let down by our Parliament. They are the reasons why a whole lot of Nigerians take a dim view of members of the National Assembly. Some even believe the conduct of our legislators is a major factor holding Nigeria down; why it is a laughing stock among the nations of the world.It is the duty of all Nigerians to demand correct conduct from all public officials, including from members of the National Assembly, especially the Senate. Senator Bukola Saraki, the Senate President, must enforce discipline among his colleagues. No member of a committee, much less a Chairman, should remain in his duty post once credible information about possible crime is received on the person. We need not remind our political leaders, most of all our legislators, that punishment always follow excess.•Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (rtd), a former Military Governor of Kaduna State, writes from KadunaSourceNews ExpressPosted 06/08/2017 12:53:21 AM

THE REAL NIGERIA

I just realized that the
hardship faced by many Nigerians is simply as a result of the fact that almost everyone of us benefited from the cycle of corruption.

The bricklayer, plumber, labourers, tiler are all
complaining because building construction has slowed down massively cause the thieves no longer have money to spend on real estate.

The car dealers are
grumbling because their cars are begging for buyers.
Thieves can no longer spend wastefully.

The private school owners are shouting because parents can no longer pay outrageous sums and are withdrawing their wards.

I was shocked when I learnt that in a popular private University in Abuja, parents are writing undertaking at the account section for their children to be allowed to write exams... and it goes on and on.

The fact is, a lot of people are returning to what
someone referred to as ''default mode''.

We mostly have been living above our REAL MEANS.

We have been staying in houses that ordinarily our
incomes can't afford.

Our children going to schools we can't afford. Driving cars we ordinarily can't maintain.

We have been living a FAKE LIFE all along.

Now the reality is before us and we don't want to accept it.

This shows how morally bankrupt we are.

You can't eat your Cake and have it. TAKE NOTE.........

You got billions from bank without collateral using your political influence.

You put half into your business and spent the other half on exotic cars, jewelries' etc.

Your business employs 100 people normally. You get illegal waivers and concessions to import raw materials at rock bottom prices, you get over inflated contract to supply government some goods your company produce....

in short your company is kept afloat by corruption.

You have been paying Tithes, Sowing Seeds that includes money from corruption and inflated contracts.

Now, the new Sherriff in town say NO more ridiculous waiver, NO more inflated contracts, NO more bank loans without collateral, in fact its time you or your company pay off the billions of debt owed.....

AMCON takes over your company, staff are laid off......

And you go on air and say the new sheriff is killing business and causing unemployment..

The truth is....you and your company were never in business, you were only feeding off the corrupt system.

Too many companies and banks are funded by corruption.

Remove corruption from the system and they collapse.......and we end up blaming the person that remove corruption for the collapse of the corrupt company.

Its like our system and corruption are so interwoven and un-separatable twins, that, removing one will kill the other.

Maybe we should tolerate and learn to live with corruption so that Nigeria can survive?

But count me out of the BRING BACK OUR CORRUPTION campaign by .

Blessed are the few incorruptible and hardworking Nigerians, for they shall be rewarded by the new emerging Nigeria.

Opinion: The real Buhari people
don't know

President Muhammadu Buhari
was elected on the mantle of change and many
Nigerians expect a lot from him.

In this opinion by Folusho Daniel, he compares
Buhari’s current administration to when he was
a military head of state and shows the
similarities.


The Buhari everyone think they know


For so long, many Nigerians have been
attempting to study and decode President
Muhammadu Buhari, using different lenses.
Some only had a modicum of clue on who he
may be, counting on the code of information
they obtained from the media when he first
romped into global limelight as the Nigerian
head of state in a military garb.
During that military era, Buhari occurred to a
section of expectant Nigerians as a no-
nonsense dictator with brazen disposition to
power. Pairing in leadership with the late
Brigadier Tunde Idiagbon, adjudged as restless,
hardworking and unsmiling made the Buhari’s
regime almost a nightmare for Nigerians who
took business as usual all through the period
he reigned as Head of State.
Nonetheless, many perceived and saw Buhari
as a Messiah with the military government he
presided over. Nigeria was in rot when he took
over in 1983. Indiscipline and corruption were
in great synergy to incinerate the glory that
Nigeria carried from independence. The sacked
civilian government presided over by former
President Shehu Shagari operated recklessly.
Cabinet members acted like heists with moral
bankruptcy while being less patriotic in the
judgement of many.
When the Buhari’s military regime came on
board, frustrated Nigerians troop to the streets
in wild celebration. The reproach thrown up by
the rising tide of social vices in all parts of the
country after the collapse of Second Republic
made the War Against Indiscipline (WAI)
launched by his government very compelling.
Nigerians were remolded by WAI in conduct
and character while the government enforced
discipline all through. From then on, Buhari
struck gold in popularity that lingered with him
till he got elected as president in May 29, 2015.


For President Buhari, history appears to be on
re-hearse, as the throwback of mismanaged
opportunities, which Nigeria suffered under the
government of Shagari, seems to be on display
again. In simple terms, the government of
former President Goodluck Jonathan offered
Nigerians mirrors of infractions, excesses and
lack of focus akin to what political players
exhibited in the Second Republic.
Nigeria gravitated towards the precipice under
the government of former President Jonathan.
In that government, acts of corruption ballooned
uncontrollably, leading to growing terrorism,
insecurity and other heinous social vices. Then
battered Nigerians electorate craved for
emergence of a Messiah. Again, Buhari
emerged to play the role.
The desire for change
For President Buhari, however, saving Nigeria
from imminent collapse entails a fight against
corruption, terrorism and the need to re-grow
the economy. He also needs to engage the
swarming army of the unemployed in Nigeria in
the productive sector. These are daunting
challenges, which he needs to address in a
short time. Yet, Nigerians appear unprepared to
appreciate the enormity of the challenge and
dilemma that the Buhari’s government faces
day and night in efforts to correct the ills of the
past, while taking off with the Change mantra.
It is not in doubt that the President has fully
addressed his mind to bring about the changes
that Nigeria needs. Those who work closely
with him attest to his desire and determination
to take Nigeria out of the woods. The aggregate
view is that the reigning Nigerian President is a
man to be fully understood by Nigerians who
want to know where he aims to take their
country.
Buhari, is said to start his day, leaving no one
around him in doubt that the ‘change’ that he
preaches must start from his own office. The
President leads by example. He is said to be
desirous of building up institutions that will
outlive him. He is also said to depend on his
protocol department to operate hitch free
standards on crowd control in the seat of
government.
The president is a stickler for time with
perceived determination to change the poor
attitude of Nigerians on time matters. He
attends events on schedule, gradually
sweeping off all elements on time wasting that
had for years led to waste of public funds.
Under him, guests at events are never kept
waiting for hours in a manner they were used
to with past Presidents and leaders.

By his body language, President Buhari
appears not keen on living the opulence that
the presidential power offers. His close aides
attest to the fact that the President eats
moderately, don moderate attires, ride in posh-
less official cars, while he most eagerly avoids
any act likely to generate a scandal.
Although, there have been hues on the long list
of foreign travels he had made so far, only a
few knew that President Buhari, all along, has
not been collecting allowances, or rather
estacodes, contrary to insinuations. He is said
to be content with arrangements made for his
comforts by host countries. Buhari is also
noted to have pruned down the number of
officials in his entourage on every trip as a
means of saving cost.
Before Buhari came to power, successive
President’s saw nothing wrong in subjecting
Abuja residents to long grueling hours of
discomfort in traffic gridlocks with roadblocks
to ease their movements in and out of Abuja.
President Buhari has put a stop to that, offering
a relief by flying in helicopter to his
destinations, most especially to free the traffic
along the airport road.
President Buhari once went to an open eid-
ground in Abuja for prayers and surprisingly
found himself surrounded by more than a
mammoth crowd of admires, all surging to
catch a glimpse of him. The stampede which
ensued in the process reportedly touched the
President who immediately resolved to limit his
spiritual exercises to the Presidential Villa as a
way out.
For Nigerians who crave to understand the
President better, Ministers and heads of
governments have been having the free will to
display initiatives while not being emasculated.
According to reports, President Buhari only
acts as an enabler, a guide for ensuring that
the plans by his government to re-invent
Nigeria works in the long run. The desire by the
President to allow institutional growth and
development is the reason he hardly meddles
in the affairs of the other arms of government;
the legislature and judiciary, which he felt have
the internal mechanism to make adjustments
each time they erred.
The future ahead
By now critics should be aware that the
success President Buhari has been recording
in the fight against terrorism and corruption,
the process of regenerating the economy
through diversification as well as his cost
saving initiatives, are a testament that his
government is on the right track towards
bringing back hope for the citizens.
Today, under the government of President
Buhari, the railway system is staging a come
back in Nigeria. The government, having
launched the commercial operation of Abuja-
Kaduna train services is to commence the
second phase; the Lagos-Ibadan rail project
already captured in the 2016 budget. As
proposed, the rail line will eventually terminate
in Kano. All the same, attention is being
focused on the growth of Agriculture as efforts
are geared towards making Nigeria emerge as
the largest exporter of rice product, starting
first from Africa. In addition to the gradual
return of peace to the northeast ravaged by the
Boko Haram war, the government has started
the rebuilding process with outpouring of
foreign aides to fast track all plans.
President Muhammadu Buhari
As Niger Delta continues to pose a serious
question to the growth of the economy, signs
are emerging that the ongoing negotiation with
militants who blow up pipelines in the oil-
producing zone would offer a lasting solution.
The foregoing suggests that the President who
continues to make personal sacrifices is not
relenting in efforts to revive Nigeria. In all,
Buhari is a president who requires the
understanding, support and cooperation of all
Nigerians. Therefore, visible and covert efforts
towards making Nigeria ungovernable for him
by some set of individuals are needless given
their tendency to distend the woes of the
country with a predictable stifled future.

Abuja.

Owk!

Geniro:
That is 300 billion naira mate and not 300 million.

Hope you know what you are commenting? Your calculation of 300 millions as 50k salary for each of the 500,000 teachers is not even up to 1bn out of 369.6 bn budgeted for education.. How unrealistic is this? Even if it is 100k per teacher the total salary for the year will be 600,000 000 base on your calculation (which is still not upto 1bn)

kodded:
concerning the 500 000 teachers


let me say each teacher wll receive N50 000 a month



N50 000 × 12 months (1 year) = N600 000

N600 000 × 500 000 (teachers) = N300 000 000 000





am I the only one who believe that this project is as unrealistic as the N5000 promised to the unemployed youths

You are right, in the military Dec 15 connote month and year; day not specific, so expect the form between now and the last day of the month. Where is my coursemate and village man Anwayi? Don't quit nairaland. Let's share our experience(the good, the bad, and the ugly) with SSC prospective candidates.

From my own perceptive I think the date is arranged serially. Dec 15 is really telling us that the form will come out this year and not 15th Dec. 2015.Nevertheless, if we check the uploaded calendar very well, we will discover that the sales of scratch cards fall between 17th December and 25th Dec. Automatically we should be expecting the form between now and 24th December.
