Na Bola Tinubu get Oando?

The owner of Oando different from the popular APC chieftain Bola Tinubu.

Asaba Delta State was given the name by Edo people (BINI tribe). When they got to Onitcha river, they couldn't cross so they named the place "Aisaba" meaning "you can't".

The great Benin Kingdom inhabited many places in Nigeria.

Enjoy!

They are out again like flies flying after wounded sore.

Just barely 4 weeks after the ban of Edo State task force, they are out again stopping motorists for no reason. Some of their corrupt ways of holding motorists is setting up traps for them. Within ring road the heart of Benin City, by the entrance to Akpakpava Road you see many of them pretending to be stopping vehicle for people to cross, you see their members (without uniform) pretending to cross while one of them will stop vehicles and and they jump into the car in front of them, saying he refused to stop when they asked him to.

Another place around ring road axis is mission Road/oba market Road junction. This one happen right in front of me, there's a traffic of vehicle, a man on wheel chair crossed in front of a car and these task force (touts) jumped inside the man's car and directed him out of the traffic. Airport Road junction of ring road is another place where these govt touts set traps to motorists.

I think this madness has to stop, the Governor is not aware of this I guess, but the Commissioner is the man behind this act because when they evil deeds becomes too much for citizens and motorists to bear he comes on air to deny them and few weeks later they'll come back and start making targets (cash) for themselves.

Edo State Govt should stop this extortion and pain facing motorists.

God bless Nigeria.

Yesterday Tuesday 1st September was a terrible day in different parts of Benin City Edo State Capital. Members of Edo State Special Task Force develop was to defraud motorists especially around Ramat Park Ikpoba Hill down to Benin/Agbor Road, Ugbowo/Lagos Road to Uniben Main Gate area, Sapele Road and New Benin Market axis also.

Yesterday at their office at Agbor Road the street just after NNPC Mega Station, a driver complained bitterly how he was set up by the task force to extort money from him. According to the driver, A man was standing by the road side with a vehicle gearbox begging him for lift to a short distance where his vehicle is, he parked properly to help the guy, he came down from his vehicle both of them carried the gearbox into his vehicle and he was surprised to see task force inside his vehicle claiming he parked in a wrong place. They drove his car to their office, getting there while he was trying to explain himself he was shocked to see the guy who was begging for lift brought a cab belonging to them, carried the condemned gearbox going back to same place.

Another elderly woman was also arrested by the force, while their office was like a bank where people come in and go out in large numbers, vehicles are towed in vehicles are bailed out.

The way they operate is when u are brought in all alleged offenders are given same crime, you'll be given a photocopied form with account number, you'll be asked to pay N30000 obviously they know you won't pay such outrageous amount, you'll then have to negotiate between 10-15k depend on your strength of negotiation, the former given to you will be collected back, you be asked to go inside their office to make payment without receipt then you'll be given another photocopied gate pass.

Another pattern being used on innocent motorist is, they'll ask hausa men around ugbowo main gate to sell yam on walk way, as motorist stop to buy while still inside their car they'll be arrested and taken to their office. Some of them will approach you respectfully, looking friendly, pretending to be friendly and helpful but once they get hold of your car key, nothing will stop them.

ADVICE TO VISITORS COMING TO BENIN CITY.
1. Don't ever stop to help anyone or you have yourself to blame.
2. If you are being held by these touts don't ever allow them to have access to your car key.
3. Always have your car central lock on to prevent them access into your car.
4. If you must park your car, park off the street and make sure your car is withing line of sight otherwise you'll be looking like someone who is mentally ill by asking people if they see your car that was parked here.

These touts are given target by Edo State Govt. so they must meet their target either by hook or crook.


Let's make Nigeria a better place, Nigerians should not be made to suffer in their mother land.

Edo State Govt should take this touts of the street if they have nothing to do with it. Recently they where driven out because of too much havoc committed by these touts about a week later they came back wearing another uniform.

Don’t Let Nigerian Businessmen Into My Meetings In The US, President Buhari Warns Aides

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday in Washington DC warned close aides not to smuggle anyone into his official meetings with US officials.

Sources said he gave the warning during a breakfast meeting at his Blair House official digs in Washington DC, telling them any infractions will result with the person involved being fired with immediate effect.

President Buhari told them the purpose of his visit was not to meet with Nigerian businessmen or politicians, but with US officials and Nigerians in the Diaspora.

During the tense meeting, at which eight of the aides were present, Buhari directed the Department of State Protocol in Abuja to open a desk at the Aso Rock Villa that would facilitate direct access to him if any Nigerian wants to see him in Nigeria.  He said the desk will eliminate the role of corrupt officials, middlemen and family members who profit from selling access to the Presidency.

SaharaReporters could not ascertain how many Nigerian businessmen have arrived in Washington with the intention of seeking meeting opportunities with Buhari, but a source told our reporters that controversial and flamboyant businessman, Terry Waya, A.C Okafor, chairman of Chicason group as well as Senator Ifeanyi Ararume, have been seen around Buhari's delegation.

OP dey find traffic o! So na tv remove me explosive device?

Somebody should tell Oshiomhole that N4.6B security vote is not realistic too.

In other news...

How did the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) spend N3.8 trillion in three years?

This is the puzzle a four-man committee has been asked to resolve.

The four “wise men” are: Governors Adams Oshiomhole (Edo), Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe), Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom) and Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna).

Oshiomhole yesterday broke the news to State House correspondents after the National Economic Council (NEC) meeting chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He was accompanied by the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Zamfara State Governor Abdulaziz Yari, Kaduna State El-Rufai and Emmanuel.

According to him, from the reports presented to NEC by NNPC and the office of the Accountant General of the Federation on Monday, N8.1 trillion generated from oil sales during the period ought to have been remitted to the Federation account.

Only N4.3 trillion was remitted to the Federation Account by NNPC, Oshiomhole said.

He also disclosed that former Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala spent $2.1 billion from the Excess Crude Account without approval between November last year and May 2015.

His words: “This is the first time we had a National Economic Council meeting in which under the instructions of the President, NNPC and the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation were compelled to provide information in black and white on issues as they relate to the total sales of Nigeria crude from 2012 to May 2015. This has never happened before and for us this is profound.

“What we saw from those numbers, which I believe Nigerians are entitled to know, is that whereas the NNPC claimed to have earned about N8.1 trillion, what NNPC paid into the Federation Account between 2012 and May 2015 was N4.3 trillion and NNPC withheld and spent N3.8 trillion.

“We are talking about transparency, we are talking about change. And what we saw from those numbers – I believe that Nigerians are entitled to know – is that whereas the NNPC claimed to have earned N8.1 trillion, what NNPC paid into the federation acount from 2012 to May 2015 was N4.3 trillion.”

“What it means is that NNPC withheld and spent N3.8 trillion. The major revelation here is that the entire federation — the federal government, the states and all the 774 local governments— the amount the NNPC paid into the federation account for distribution to these three tiers of government came to N4.3 trillion and NNPC alone took and spent N3.8 trillion.”

He added: “Which means the cost of running NNPC is much more than the cost of running the Federal Government. That tells you how much is missing, what is mismanaged, what is stolen; these are huge figures.

“We need to earn and spend; it is basic law of accounting that even if you run a cigarette shop where you sell Three-Rings, you don’t sell and spend. You sell, take to your bank account, and you budget for your procurement including cost of running your business.

“There is no enterprise manager who goes to the market and sells and just begins to spend, otherwise nobody needs to budget. And because you are running a democracy and you are running three tiers of government, and the resources involved belong to these three tiers of government, the only lawful way decreed by the constitution, this is not an administrative regulation; it is not a policy derivable from a circular; this is from the express letter and spirit of the Nigerian Constitution as amended that for example if NNPC needs to spend money, it is obliged to prepare its budget’ like every other business enterprise, that budget will be scrutinised by the executive and forwarded to the National Assembly and the National Assembly will accordingly appropriate it.”

He faulted the NNPC for spending without appropriation.

He said: “If the Federal Government cannot spend without appropriation, why should any agency spend without appropriation? NIMASA, for example, whatever they earned they are supposed to pay into the federation account and also present the budget of their requirement.

“This is what the constitution provides for. And this is what President Buhari has promised to do that henceforth all monies must go to the Federation Account. What you need, you budget for. Nigeria cannot continue with you-earn-the-money-and-spend it. Where is transparency? Where is the role of the National Assembly?”

“So, if you were doing that you won’t have a situation where the NNPC alone will spend N3.8 trillion and remit to the federal, states and local governments N4.3 trillion which means NNPC is taking about 47 per cent and that explains all the leakages you are talking about.”

Oshiomhole went on: “Let us also be clear; nobody says that parastatals should not spend money but they must return to budgetting. There is no major player, there is no major registered private company that will spend money without a budget. Even a private company you will have your board of directors looking at your revenue, total sales, your turnover, your personnel cost, running cost, visible and invisible and you have the budget for the year that is how every sensible business runs.

“That is the way it was when President Buhari was Minister of Petroleum, so we are not reinventing the wheel; that is the way it used to be and that is the way the constitution says it should be.”

On the money spent by Dr. Okonjo-Iweala from the Excess Crude Account, Oshiomhole said that the Accountant General’s Office reported to NEC that the balance in the account as at the end of May was $2.1 billion instead of $4.1 billion left in the account in November, 2014.

He said: “We looked at the numbers for the Excess Crude Account, the last time the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy reported to the Council and it is in the minutes, she reported by November 2014, that we had $4.1 billion but today the Accountant General Office reported we have $2.0 billion, which means the Honourable Minister spent $2.1billion without authority of the NEC.

“And that money was not distributed to states it was not paid to the three tiers of government. This is why the NEC has set up a panel to look at what accrued, what it was spent on, when and by whom, so that Nigerians will have the full picture of all the transactions as regards the much talked about excess crude.”

Yari said NEC constituted a four-man panel to examine the accounts.

He said: “The 58th NEC? received the briefing from the director of funds where the state of the economy has been discussed thoroughly. We have gotten the report from the excess crude; what is there and what is not there. And also the Council got the briefing on the unremitted funds by NNPC.

On that line, a four-man committee – Edo, Gombe, Kaduna Akwa Ibom – was constituted to go through the books of NNPC and Excess Crude as well as the Federation Account.”

“The four-man committee will check the books of NNPC, most especially the issue of excess crude and what is not remitted into the Federation Account.”

“The Federal Government, in conjunction with the CBN, will look inwards to see how to support, how much they will give to states especially in the issue of outstanding salaries owed by the states and even the Federal Government.” he said

El-Rufai disclosed that the Excess Crude Account was started by former President Olusegun Obasanjo around 2004-2005 as an administrative arrangement to save for the rainy day.

He said: “And it was meant to have very clear accountability, such that every state and local government, in a particular state, knows their balance in the Excess Crude Account, though you can’t spend it but you know how much of it is yours. That was the arrangement.

“And in those days, before we spend any money from the Excess Crude Account, the federal and states governments will meet and agree. That is how we agreed to build the seven power stations which is NIPP today; it was from Excess Crude Account. And also met and agreed to build the Lagos – Kano Standard Guage Rail Line from the Excess Crude Account.

“But what we have seen, in the last few months or years is that the Excess Crude Account was operated unilaterally by the federal government; drawings were made unilaterally without consulting those that actually own the money because the Excess Crude Account is 52 percent owned by the Federal Government and 48 by the states and Local Governments.

“So the decision of the NEC is to set up this committee of four to look at the operations of the Excess Crude Account and make recommendation to council on its future.

“The other thing the committee will do is to look at the operations of the Federation Account, particularly the shortfall and again come back to council with very clear recommendations as to what to do.”

“We have not been given a time-frame but as you can imagine state governments are under pressure. Many of our state governments are unable to pay salaries on time without recourse to borrowing, so this is very important to us. This is an all-governors committee, we wear the shoes we know where it pinches. So, we are are going to do this as quickly as possible.

“The next meeting of the council is on July 23rd, we hope to complete our work and be in position to report to council on that day. So, within the next one month we will be done by God’s grace,” El-Rufai said.

Attack the message and not the messenger.
I am a Christian but can you tell me the origin of Christianity? Or you just accept anything thrown at you? I think you need brain surgery.

I think it will be proper to watch the video first then share your thoughts on the subject. In fact I am watching the video all over again!

May God bless Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan.

This is one of the best teaching I've ever had. In this videos, Farrakhan revealed so many hidden secrets.

We were made to believe that Adam and Eve were the first human on earth and they are white, it has been revealed now that it's a big lie. If white people were first there will be no black man on planet earth because a white man and white woman can't produce a black child.

There is so much to learn from this videos. Part 1a and Part 1b. Enjoy your day with this link below.

God bless you!

Orders are not completely obeyed in this country.
