Jarus: We both add 'fa' to our sentences, but unlike Ilorin, we don't call head 'eri', rather 'ori', which is what the mainstream Yoruba people call it.

redcliff: Nice thread, would also love to be in that country, they have one of the best economies in europe, the mainly speak dutch/german

berem: She did well by resigning.what of others who are bent on occupying the office despite their illness? If na lie make you ask Oluwasullivan Adechime.

anulaxad: I WANT TO KNOW HOW I CAN GET INTO POLITICS IN NIGERIA SO I CAN HAVE THE CHANCE TO SPREAD THE WORD OF THE PEOPLE. IM PROFESSIONAL IM GOOD WITH MONEY(IM AN ECONOMIST) AND I WILL BE A PEOPLE POLITICIAN THE FIRST SINCE MKO ABIOLA.

To be a politician in Nigeria is not really difficult. You just have to know some people that know some people. Be bad, be ready to kill and get killed. If they know how tough you are, they will hail you.

BTW, never let Nigerians know how wealthy you are, let them just guess that you are doing fine, else, you will be financially demolished without even getting to the gate of power.

As a first step, go to Otta. There is a farmer there that is well connected. I heard he recently lost some part of his estate to an inferno. You could buy favour by donating genuine Italian marble to his reconstruction effort. He would sing your praise to high heavens, because he loves do or die. He would tell about the "ewa" that you have contributed to the new house of the "Oba" after "igbati o jo". God help you.

BTW, if my tactic works for you, dont forget the old man here in this cold Europe o. I can atleast manage a small mansion with a young opeke as olori kekere.

karl max: Subsidy savings: FG, states, LGs share N248.85bn


Since the partial removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government seven months ago, a whopping N248.85bn has been shared by the three tiers of government under the Subsidy Re-investment and Empowerment Programme.

The money shared was savings made from the partial fuel subsidy removal.

The amount, our correspondent gathered, was based on the budgeted monthly provision of N35.55bn credited to the SURE-P account by the Federation Account Allocation Committee.

Of the N248.44bn, the Federal Government got N105bn, representing a monthly allocation of N15bn for the seven months; while the balance of N143.55bn was shared by the states and local governments.

A breakdown of the N35.55bn shared by the states in July revealed that Akwa Ibom got the highest amount of N1.83bn; while Rivers got N1.46bn; Delta, N1.40bn; and Bayelsa, N1.09bn.

Abia got N364.9m; Adamawa, N393.3m; Anambra, N394.08m; Bauchi, N456.52m; Benue, N439.43m; Borno, N494m; Cross River, N389.13m; Ebonyi N285.76m; Edo N446.3m; and Ekiti, N301.1m.

Others are Enugu, N347.1m; Gombe, N297.42m; Imo, N469.75m; Jigawa, N454.62m; Kaduna, N504.13m; Kano, N718.6m; Katsina, N535.7m; Kebbi, N390.29m; Kogi, N395.9m; Kwara, N335.93m; Lagos, N540.48m; and Nassarawa, N296.6m.

Similarly, Niger State got N475.26m; Ogun, N376.59m; Ondo, N533.08m; Osun, N406.47m; Oyo, N515.89m; Plateau, N364.73m; Sokoto, N415.93m; Taraba, N366.13m; Yobe, N360.05m; Zamfara, N352.01m; and the Federal Capital Territory, N56.77m.

The Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Yerima Ngama, had said the states and local governments would not receive their share until they opened separate accounts for the fund.

This, he noted, would enable the Federal Government to track how the fund was being used.

He said, “The subsidy re-investment fund is supposed to be paid to the states and local governments separately into a special account that they should open and we expect them to also forward to the ministry the programmes that they intend to use the subsidy re-investment fund for in order to alleviate the condition of our people.

“But every state is free to determine what it wants to do with its subsidy re-investment fund. It doesn’t have to be what the Federal Government is doing, but you can come and complement what the Federal Government is doing in your own state. So, the distribution will be made separately so that we will be able to hold people completely accountable.”

Findings, however, revealed that the majority of the states in a bid to begin the implementation programme, had been responding to the directive.

For instance, Governor Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna State last week inaugurated a committee for the implementation of the programme.

The SURE programme provides for the implementation of short-term social welfare schemes to alleviate the impact of subsidy removal on Nigerians.

Some of these are the construction, completion and rehabilitation of rail, refineries, key federal highways, hydro stations, information technology and water projects.

The programme will also fund mass transit, public works, training for unskilled youths and social services to reduce high maternal and infant mortality rates.

It is being managed by the SURE-P committee headed by Dr. Christopher Kolade.

The committee is saddled with the responsibility of “mitigating the immediate impact of the removal of fuel subsidy and accelerate economic growth through investment in critically needed infrastructure.”

Of the Federal Government share of the SURE-P fund, it was learnt that N21.7bn had already been set aside for the construction of the East-West road.
