Help! Our change has been hijacked
The time is now to fight for our life. it is now or never. The
members of the National Assembly have come hijacked the
change we fought for. They gave come to rubbish my stay in
the sun and rain to vote for this change and I am ready to
defend the CHANGE.
Our DISHONORABLE and UNDISTINGUISHED Lawmakers are
here again to fleece me and you of our natural resources
through outrageous allowances.
Now, they have decided to give themselves N9b as wardrobe
allowance when states like Osun, Benue, Ekiti, Imo to
mention but a few cannot pay workers salaries. When
workers are going hungry, our lawmakers are growing fatter
acquiring what they don't need by allocating outrageous
allowances to themselves at the expense of our children
future.
They have continued to be more richer why the masses are
getting poorer daily. They are building hotels acquiring
properties in choice areas at the expense of the masses who
live below $1 a day.
Enough is Enough and we must all come out to condemn
this obnoxious allowance. The N9b can provide water for my
grandmother in the village,provide jobs for my jobless
brothers and sisters, the N9b can provide reading materials
for my born and unborn children, this money can procure
equipment for security operatives fighting insurgency.
It is time for #occupyNASS because this is financial terrorism
and this should be nipped in the bud. They want to hijack
our change from the back, we must fight now.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has too many bank accounts, some of which either the Ministry of Finance or the corporation itself has lost track of.

Making the revelation today in Johannesburg was Nigeria’s leader, President Muhammadu Buhari.

Buhari, a former petroleum minister and former Nigerian military head of state expressed shock at the development, describing it as ‘improper.

As petroleum minister during the Chief Olusegun Obasanjo military regime,(1976-1979) Buhari said NNPC had only three accounts, in contrast to what the Jonathan government bequeathed: “too many accounts such that the NNPC and the ministry of finance did not know how many accounts they had.”

A Lagos commercial vehicle transporting bales of clothing goods to market went up in flames on the third mainland bridge at around 4pm today, June 15 2015
The owner of the vehicle - a mercedes van which had Lagos Number plate AGL 914 XP - said the vehicle started emanating smoke from the rear and shortly after burst into flames.


The vehicle was in a huge ball of flames, where it had stopped towards the start of the bridge when driving towards the Island.

The time of day meant the heavy flow of traffic was on the other side of the bridge, nevertheless the traffic was backed up because vehicles passing were constrained to one lane by the fierce flames and thick smoke.

Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose was spotted late Sunday evening at the Johannesburg International airport in South Africa on his way back from a trip.
Accompanied by only one aide, Fayose joined passengers waiting to board the South African Airways 11 pm flight to Lagos.
He exchanged greetings with some of the Nigerian passengers who were surprised to see him.
The governor eventually joined the plane and sat in the economy section on the journey back to Lagos.

I received this message on my phone from my bank persuading me to go get my BVN done. Though I've done mine but I've been left wondering if other Nigerians have the time like me to queue and wait patiently to get this task done.
Unlike the SIM card registration threat, whereby, people still use their sim freely up till now though it's not registered or even registered with a random info before purchase, I can only hope this one won't turn out differently.
If this threat is really undertaken, I strongly believe that millions of Nigerians would be affected.
Have you done yours?
What's the delay?
Do you really think your account can be deactivated if not registered??
Please contribute!!
Kindly, spread the word and share to avert any inconveniency this might cause later on..

Today in South Africa, I managed to personally take with a my phone camera the picture of this great leader - PMB! What a man, what a leader! He has maximum respect from all past Nigerian leaders! We are praying for you sir. It is not easy, but success is inevitable! When you are done reforming our country, those that call you "Daura President" will be utterly shamed and disgraced. For Nigeria will certainly be great again!

God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

wachakuta:
The Buhari Administration at the weekend declared that there are ongoing plans to implement one of its striking campaign promises that it will pay N5000 each to the poorest Nigerians across the country.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who gave the hint noted that government is “currently evaluating the best ways to collapse existing cash transfer and social welfare schemes to ensure consistency and alignment.

“Once this is completed, we will implement the first phase of this program, using recognized identification platforms and transparent payment solutions”, he added.

Osinbajo who disclosed this at the 10th Year Anniversary Lecture of Crescent University, Abeokuta, Ogun State titled, ‘The Nigerian Economy and the Future’, also said the federal government has identified the weak transmission grid, which prevents the wheeling of more than 5,000MW as a gridlock to be removed.

He assured that the Buhari administration would work with the distribution companies to ensure the necessary investment to get electricity to consumers is in place.

On the pervasive poverty ravaging the country, Osinbajo said the payment of N5000 each to poor Nigerians was necessary because “we cannot talk about the economy of the future without addressing how we move people out of poverty.

“One of the most striking promises we made during the campaign was the payment of Five Thousand Naira to the poorest Nigerians across the country”, he noted, even as he regretted that today, “about 112 million (66% of Nigerians) are deemed extremely poor, measured by World Bank parameter of those living on less than US$1.25 per day.”

The Vice President observed that the level of poverty explains much of the Nigerian situation because it affects all aspects of life,including why over a million Nigerians die yearly of preventable diseases.

“It reflects in our alarming rates of infant mortality and maternal deaths at childbirth. It also tells why so many children of school age are out of school and why so many adults lack access to healthcare and proper vocational training; why, in effect, they are less efficient and less productive at work”, Osinbajo noted.

Giving a succinct analysis of the nation’s economy, the VP said, “The vexed questions of the day pertain mainly to the economy. What is the real state of affairs? With so much reliance on a single commodity, how do we survive in an era of oil glut and falling commodity prices?

“With so many indications of waste, corruption and impunity, how do we set our economy on the right path? With so many unemployed, how do we offer hope and sustain the enthusiasm of our children still in school? And with so many of our consumer goods imported from abroad, how do we continue to live well without going bankrupt? Indeed, what is the place of Nigeria in the African and World Economy?” He further queried.

He lamented that, while many public servants were being owed arrears of salaries across the country, many traders are experiencing a downturn in sales.

“Artisans abound, whose businesses cannot thrive without power supply and many of our youths are searching in vain for employment”, the VP added.

On power generation, Osinbajo noted that the APC manifesto, is to deliver a minimum of 10% GDP growth annually, while ensuring an inclusive economy that improves the lives of all Nigerians.

This, he said, cannot happen unless we achieve a significant improvement in the power sector, even as he assured that the administration will focus on improving the supply of gas to power plants, which will ensure sufficient gas supply that will help maximize the 13,000MW of generating capacity.

His words: “The plans for the power sector will be supported with a National Infrastructural Master Plan that requires an investment of Three Trillion Dollars over a thirty-year period. This is the minimal requirement to improve our infrastructure stock from 35% of GDP to the benchmark for our peers, which is estimated at 70% of GDP.

“Apart from enabling manufacturing and other sectors, we expect that the investment in infrastructure will also directly create thousands of jobs in construction and maintenance activities”.

On the petroleum sector, the VP also noted that Nigeria has the 6th largest gas reserves and 8th largest crude oil reserves in the world, yet itnis struggling with high unemployment and low industrialization.

He regretted that “this embarrassment is compounded by the recurring scarcity of refined petroleum products which deal goes further still to harm our economy.

“Also corruption and a lack of transparency has dealt a massive blow on the petroleum industry thereby depleting our resources and creating a business environment which repels serious minded investors, whether locally based or international”, he added.

He expressed dismay that with the huge natural and human endowments in the country, the most recent World Economic Forum’s Report on Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) 2014 -2015 ranked Nigeria 127 out of 144 countries.

“This is in comparison with many other countries in Africa, ranking higher including Mauritius – 39, South Africa – 56, Rwanda – 62, Botswana 74, Algeria – 79, Kenya – 90, Zambia – 96 and Ghana – 111. Similarly, the World Bank’s Report on Ease of Doing Business Index ranks Nigeria, 170 out of 189 countries surveyed”, he noted.

Osinbajo assured that in order to address the myriads of problems and challenges facing the economy, the Buhari Administration will tackle corruption in all sectors of the economy and establish a sufficient tax culture.

He further assured that the Administration will encourage Public-Private Partnerships and ensuring a transparent framework that reduces the bottlenecks in doing business.

“We are hopeful that an influx of domestic and international capital will begin to chase the huge opportunities in Nigeria very soon”, the VP noted, adding that the administration will give top priority to agriculture and education sectors.

Osinbajo expressed appreciation for the great work being done at the University to secure the future of Nigerian children and the country.

“Crescent University represents that bold effort of some private individuals in Nigeria who, of their own volition and with their personal wealth, decide to build institutions of higher learning”, he said.

Earlier, the Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Ibraheem Gbajabiamila, while welcoming the dignitaries who came to grace the occasion, said the students of Crescent University were doing well in their academics and are brought up in a well disciplined environment.

The Proprietor, Judge Bola Ajibola expressed gratitude for the Vice President’s visit as well as other dignitaries.

He said students of the University have maintained academic excellence nationally and internationally and all of them are accommodated in the school hostel, adding that “there is no cultism and other social vices”.

From grass to grace. Shehu Sani may not be a household name in Nigeria but those who know his relevance to the society know that what he has passed through to get where he is and how much he has contributed to the society. He was a leading figure in the struggle for the restoration of democracy in Nigeria.

The former Boko Haram negotiator and hardcore human rights activist looked dapper during his inauguration into the 8th National Assembly senate few days back.

But the road to his glory had not been all rosy....he was arrested by former Head of State, Ibrahim Babaginda in 1993 for protesting against the June annulment elections of M.K.O Abiola in 1993. He was later released and rearrested again by former interim president, Earnest Shonekan for holding a pro-democracy rally. He was charged to court for Sedition and unlawful assembly. He was later granted bail.

Then ex-president Sani Abacha took over government. Senator Shehu Sani organized a mass protest against his government which made the military leader arrest him again -as he was taken to a Military Tribunal and sentenced to Life in prison for Treason. Sani and former president Olusegun Obasanjo even shared a cell together during the latter's prison sentence. He was released from life imprisonment when democracy was restored in Nigeria in 1999.
