We keeping doing the same things over and over again while expecting a different result.

For the BRT to be successful, you need the bus manufacturer to have a factory in Lagos. I don't care if its Innoson or a foreigner.

You also need to have strict inspectors. If a bus leaves and comes back with its mirror broken, the driver has to file a report and if the issues was caused by driver recklessness, then they pay for the damage.

Nigerians have a poor maintenance culture, which even reflects in government and institutions.
These so called BRT busses would rapidly depreciate to the level of danfo buses within the next one year...
No be Nigerians go dey drive them
No be Nigerians go dey enter the busses
Some drivers would even use their hands to disconnect the air conditioner, the stereo/music system, the electronic winders, etc.

Local rice production in Nigeria has now reached 15 million metric tonnes annually, the government has claimed.

It said the development means the country will now be saving about N300 billion it used to spend annually on importation of the commodity.

The Director of Agriculture at the Kano office of the Federal Ministry of Agricultural, Muhammad Adamu, made the claim on Tuesday while inaugurating the Rice Millers Association of Nigeria, (RIMAN) in the state.

He said in Kano alone, 1.2 million metric tonnes of rice was produced in 2016.

He said with the significant increase in local productions and the efforts to make the local variety qualitative and more attractive to Nigerians, the country expects to begin exporting rice to West African countries by 2018/2019.

Mr. Adamu said about 34 states in Nigeria are producing rice, with many now producing three times in a year.

He disclosed that investigation carried out by the Federal Government revealed that rice imported to Nigeria are 10-15 years old and and are preserved with chemicals which can cause cancer to consumers.

In his remarks, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rice Miller’s Association, Peter Dama, said, the association was established to promote local milling of rice that is fresh, healthy and nutritious.

He said the association is willing to collaborate with the Nigeria Customs Service to stem smuggling of expired rice into Nigeria.

Mr. Dama added that the association intended to work closely with regulatory agencies and policymakers to ensure standard in local rice milling.

The Customs officer in charge of rice enforcement, Ado Hassan, warned that Custom officers caught conniving with rice smugglers would have themselves to blame.

He said that in less than one year, the zonal command of the agency confiscated 800,000 bags of rice in Kano and Jigawa states.

He said about 9000 bags of the rice are still in the stores of the agency, adding that most of the rice were being given to internally displaced persons after been certified fit for consumption by the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC.

Ideally upon return to Nigeria she should start from her 2nd year or 1st MB in a Nigerian Medical School.

Abuja—The controversy over the return of 42 oil wells from Rivers State to Abia State continued over the weekend as the principal consultant to Macfredricks & Oneal, Jonny Maduafokwa described as false, claims by former governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu that he fought for the return of the oil wells.


Orji Uzor Kalu
Maduafokwa Motherfucker[color=#990000][/color] said his organization started the process for the return of the oil wells ceded to Rivers State by the Justice Mamman Nasir 1976 Boundary Adjustment Committee for and on behalf of the governments of old Imo and Abia states.

The oil services expert further claimed that as an aftermath of the recovery of the wells, the Federal Government is yet to pay to the old Imo State and Abia State their accrued revenue amounting to about a whopping N9.7 trillion naira from 1976 to 1991 and from 1991 to 2001.

“I read with rude shock and utter dismay, an article purportedly authored by the former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu that his efforts gave rise to his achieving the successful recovery of 43 oil wells that were erroneously credited to Rivers State without telling us the how and when he came by the information he claimed were at his disposal.

“Ordinarily, I would have left the story to pass without bothering to react but for the erroneous impression it will create on the minds of readers as well as for posterity.

“Orji Uzor Kalu indicated interest in the project and requested a briefing on the subject and he was accordingly briefed and the parties entered into a contract. To cut the story short, I executed the contract to the letter and finally, 95 crude oil wells were retrieved and returned to Imo and Abia States”, claimed Madufokwa, who also listed the affected wells with their coordinates.

On the proceeds of the ceded oil wells for about 31 years, the principal consultant said; “It is instructive to note that once the dispute arose between the old Imo State and Rivers State, over the oil wells and who owns what, the Federal Government stopped payment of monies as derivation, and “locked-in” the said funds in an escrow account until verification is made as to who owns what.”

“Take for instance that it took 31 years for the oil well dispute to be resolved, but the issue remains that the derivation fund from the 95 crude oil wells put “locked in” in an escrow said to have accumulated to N9.7 trillion has not been released to the bonafide owners”.

He further advised the affected states to concentrate on how to get the federal government to release the money which he said will go a long way in bettering the lives of their people.

The dullest president will never seize to make life worst for Nigerians.
Since he has an terminal ear infection I don't think he can hear Nigerians problems.... The worst he is even an illiterate he can neither read nor write..
SMH.. Nigeria is doomed...
They wanted CHANGED
They shouted CHANGE
they rigged the election for CHANGE.
Some were ready to kill for CHANGE, yes the HABOKIS were well armed during the last election.....

It seems That incompetent minister of recession is incapacitated. She cannot save Nigeria.

LIE MOHAMNED... NTORRRRRRR

cjrane:
[size=15pt]I don't believe this information is accurate. But i hope it is.

The problem however is the sheer NUMBER of LGAs in northern states.
Kano State for instance has 44 LGAs while Bayelsa has just 8. The average northern state no matter how much desert has taken over the entire place has at least 15 LGA created in the middle of the desert just to collect federal allocation.

So if Bayelsa's 8 LGAs are slightly richer (because they produce oil) than each Kano's LGA, by sheer numbers, Kano with 44 LGAs or Katsina with 34 LGAs still collects more than 500% greater allocation from the federation account on their LGAs alone than Bayelsa could ever hope for.[/size]

Is it okay for a married couple to draw up a time table for having sex?

My wife is complaining that I disturb her every day and that she can no longer cope. She has insisted that we come up with a time table of two days in every week and stick to it. This means she is ready to give me sex only twice a week.



Also how many times per week is ideal for a couple to have sex?

olafum1:
They were not much marginalized in appointments & likes or regarded as 5% under GEJ.

Imagine some northern leaders along side pmb vowing to give them the Boko Haram treatment when only it is pipelines they are blowing up, and at the same time they all are denying the ethnicity of the Fulani terrorists, who is maiming & taking lives in a gruesome manner in the south.

So it's d govt that shot herself in the leg . To me, one live is more significant to all the pipelines in Nigeria.

Mind you, what they are clamouring for now, is more of federalism. Let them have d larger stake over their resources. That's all. This northerners have 98% stake in their resources and are still calling for their death, using the boyscout military who specializes in terrorizing civilians. Isn't that another form of modern day slavery and savagery?

Nigeria is ripe enough for federalism... The govt needs to act fast, smart and wise to tackle this root cause, so that the country can remain as ONE. enough of military bragadro over there, it will fail, Obasanjo tried it and failed but Yaradua nailed it.

Yaradua, my Hero.

Whenever I hear the word patriotism I feel like throwing up. where was patriotism when APC used Boko Haram as campaign point to swayed u guys to vote out our son? u guys called our son all sorts of names because of Boko Haram that was introduced to make his government ungovernable.
I am not supporting them, but pls just keep the bleep and allow us to hear something with your patriotism sermon. I could remember how Nyako, former governor of Adamawa state wrote letter to the Northern states, telling them that Jonathan is using Boko Haram to reduce their population because of 2015 and all of you praised him. where were you when Boko Haram struck any day Jonathan was to go for campaign? where were you when Jonathan was stoned in the northern states of Bauchi, Katsina and Gombe? where were you when you guys mystified anybody supporting Jonathan, u guys treated him like an outcast because he is from a tribe that their votes alone can't make him win.
Nigeria is very very ungrateful to the Niger Delta region and I don't give a dam to all these cry on social media

Galaxyowerri:
I talk am, the dullard in aso rock does not care if Nigerians are dying of starvation or not, this despot does not want to grant these people their demand & save us from imminent starvation. Well before we in the SE will start dying, the millions of almajiri's & the sophisticated !diots that brought the dullard to power would have gone six feet below. We have Igbos all over the world more than any other tribe in Nigeria & their support will keep us afloat till the end of this calamity. Diaspora remmitance is our trump card to the rescue!!!

Lagos with their flashy cars and shinning uniforms with blaring Olamide songs won't go into the farms where the terrorism is happening. We know who the real security men are now.

***
In the domain of the shinning and smiling flashy Lagos Police, robbers rob banks, people snatch ladies bags, Agberos extort money from passers-by, Igbos and their neighbours fight in the markets daily, fire guts markets and buildings, cult members kill each other etc.
What do the shinning gentlemen do?
They come to work with doughnuts, burgers, polished shoes and go to breaks occasionally to have some cold beer. Even DPOs host their girlfriends in the station offices.

You see those Fayose Warriors, The Libyan Herdsmen will leave Ekiti whether they like it or not. The reason is simple, we know their leader Murmur Ghadafi is dead to us since he hasn't said anything serious about his countrymen who is invading Southern Nigeria with guns and cattle.

If all the southern states adopt the #FayoseIdeology, we will drive the Libyans back to their home country. We just hope our Fulani brothers will allow them passage way through their lands back to Libya because they allowed them to pass on their way in.

A few more fights would break out eventually between them and the Warriors, a few more people will die as a sacrifice for the living, after all "Everything gives up something once in a while."
But the final fact is that they will leave Ekiti eventually because you can't go into a bloody war with your landlord and remain in his house after, no matter who was right or wrong.

Welcome to the style of governance of Fashola.
The man is one that always believe that if something must be achieved,the fee for it must be increased(regardless of what you've been paying for it and its actual ability to solve the problem).
This is a man who on assumption of office as a minister swore that until the power consumption tarriff is increased,regular power supply can't be possible. Today(against the directive of the NA and the wish of the consumers) he has increased the tarriff and yet the power supply has gone from bad to all time worst while we still pay the increased tarriff.
His modus operandi is this: He will promise heaven and earth once the people will accept the fee and taxation. Most people will accept it as long as the problem(like bad road or power outage) is fixed. You pay the new fee,he puts up a make belief solution,everybody accepts it and in no distance time it fells back to how bad is used to be but by then we have gotten used to paying the new fee(which ofcourse is shared by him and his masters and cronnies).
The man always run an inhuman policy that seek to impoverish the people further more.
Nigerians,we give you Babatunde Raji Fashola
