All I see are Rice mills everywhere. Where are the farms that would provide for these mills to function?

The farms are there...maybe not getting as much attention. Most of these rice mills are off takers so they buy directly from small to mid scale farmers - process and then sell in their own brand name. Some of the big guys like Chi, Cosharis run this model even though they may have their own farms where they produce and then process at their mills.

NOTE: the main reason is that most lecturers don't want to be captured twice. most of them are on the govt payroll in 2 or 3 universities. they know that they are the one causing unemployment in the universities.

Rightly said. I’m yet to see a sound counter argument otherwise.

Asquare84:


Bross if I should tell you the number of appointment letter that have been issued in the last two months you will be marveled, a federal college of education issued out 400 appointment letter in two weeks backdated the appointment to years back and this are ghost workers that some staff have been collecting their salaries in the same way federal university wukari have issued out over 1000 appointment in one month. If I should start mentioning higher institution here Nigerian will be ashamed of our country

My advice to Nigerian govt is that they should not back down on threat by ASUU not to join ippis

Their is something ASUU is protecting which is ghost workers

Imagine the level of corruption. The next step after enrolling these lecturers is to do a forensic audit. Ghost workers won’t work cause of NIN / BVN - it has to be tied to an actual person. Then they can always verify the qualifications against the job posting.

FIRS and CBN are revenue generating bodies and they pay salaries from revenues they generate. Hence they may be exempted from IPPIS since the government doesn’t pay their staff from its coffers directly.

The Nigerian Army and Police have all joined the IPPIS scheme and one thing everyone will agree with is that it has helped to curb the era of ghost workers.

ASUU unfortunately is afraid that it’s arbitrary deductions from lecturer dues will negatively affect its ability to raise funds. Till date I am yet to see any lecturer or non-teaching staff who outside of ASUU complain against IPPIS.

It brings about a new level of transparency our universities simply aren’t accustomed to.

Many of the issues raised above like accommodations for lecturers above 70 years are system configured features that can be changed for university staff.

Not to mention that until our universities are able to pay salaries from their own IGR the claim of independence from government remains mute.

sinaj:
Nice development

I think they should also use NIN alongside BVN next time which will help in creating a database for Nigerians.

Both are already connected together. You will find that when registering for your NIN having a BVN makes the process faster because NIMC has gone ahead to create NIN for everyone with a BVN already.

It's not a good development. We cant close our borders and task neighboring countries to fight smuggling. Our problem is institutional. There is corrupt in our customs, these officials are enabling the smuggling and making huge money from it. Fix the organization and you've fixed the problem. Rice is not the only commodity affected, every business must not suffer because of only rice.

This is what we get when we allow illiterates run the economy.

Let me try to show you a different perspective in addition to what you’ve said which is also mostly correct.

A country such as Benin is actually working to directly sabotage our economy. They are currently one of the top 10 importers of rice in the world. And this was by design through active steps taken by their government to promote importers into Nigeria through their ports. At the time the Nigerian goverment was raising imports on rice to 35%, they were decreasing theirs to 5% and promoting incentives.

Besides fixing the corrupt customs, the Nigerian government must show its strong hand in being able to deal with economic saboteurs around it and this is what they are trying to do.

Oooops:

Thanks for this.
My only fear was he is just a kid. But since it’s not a serious issue that means I will go ahead with d surgery

Now is actually the best time to remove it. Your baby is still at a young age where he might not even remember the procedure when he grows up...besides the scar tissue it will leave. I had mine done (excess tissue on my back) when I was a child too...around the same age with your son I believe and I didn't know anything about it till my folks mentioned it to me years down the line.

The suit will be dismissed with cost against the Applicant.
Stupid Suit...!!! Civilized democratic Nations still do terms for Presidency how much more learners like us..!!


You don't change the goal post at the middle of the march.


Courts (The Judiciary) don't compel the NASS (Legislators) to amend the Constitution, they only interpret the law....!!!

The term in the constitution has no ambiguity and is not a birthright of any individual.
If two term is against your fundamental right then, you are free to create your own country...!!! Planet MARS may be suitable...!!!

They (Legislators) carry out such amendments based on their legislative duties raise among themselves which then is subject to majority vote

Suit should rightly be dismissed and the litigant fined heavily for wasting the courts time. Why didn’t he channel this by sponsoring a bill in parliament? Too many educated illiterates in this country.

shugaboo:
No it's not, the present government doesn't employ non indigenes except on 2 years contract, tribalism is highly rooted in him. What year did you serve?

Long time ago now. 2010 to be precise.

Seahawk:
Most likely. And these ones are here praising him

Let’s see if same support will be given to any easterner who tries to go into the business. If they are really genuine about local rice production.

Cosharis farms exists as well and they own a rice farm and mill. It’s on the front page too.

Journalists always looking for a way to exaggerate the truth. This isn’t targeted at the Awolowo’s specifically.

Segun Awolowo another Awolowo grandson is still the DG of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council and remains in office.

Whatever happens to ICPC or is the commission dead ?

ICPC is also very active but aren’t doing as well with public relations. Long story.

Goldencheese:
Thank you.

You know why I like your reply? It was logical, sensible and was free of insults.

Gracias.

Exactly how it should be. You’re welcome.

Goldencheese:


Let's be sincere, is this not the work of the police? How much do they get medical reports for? 5k, right? You mean a whole EFFC will leave their office, fuel their trucks or buses and drive with siren to arrest such doctors when there are police stations everywhere? This is 2019 now not 1819.

Haba.

The thing is fake medical reports are being used to circumvent corruption cases. People use these reports to stall their trials, get endless adjournments and previously travel aboard on “so called medical treatment trips” to never return.

So it is within the purview of the EFCC to track and stop this so they can get more cases out of the judiciary in good time.

Flets:
If only Nigeria was truly a nation, innoson and similar entrepreneurs will get govt max support.

In the US, Govt bailed Genera Motors when it went bankrupt. In this clime, people are working to ensure such businesses dont succeed in the long term cos its not owned by their tribe.

There is no hope for Nigeria in sight.

Well...if we are being realistic. Innoson presently has a lot more demand from government and other buyers than it can cater for. They need to scale up very quickly.

Plastic is poor quality grade, Poor paint job. The vehicles didn't go thru electrobath process and as such the paint flakes and breaks off in large chunk leaving bare thin sheet metal which starts to oxidize in presence of moisture and form rusts.

Apt! I have noticed this as well. Hopefully they improve on this with time.

I see five major benefits to the border closure:

1. Supporting the local industries: Making local rice more attractive to us Nigerians. People will buy what they see and if it takes banning imported rice for more Nigerians to consume local rice then this works for the government.

2. Saving Money spent subsidizing fuel smuggled to Benin: The government has realized that about 10% of our daily consumption as a country is being smuggled to Benin. The issue this brings is the country is effectively paying for another countries consumption. Easy solution to this is to remove fuel subsidy but doing that affects Nigerians adversely. Closing down the borders makes it all the more difficult to continue to smuggle fuel across. I don’t recall the numbers now but NNPC has recently reduced a drop in our daily consumption as a country which proves this theory correct.

3. Increase income from duties by encouraging importers to come through Lagos ports rather than cotonou:

the goal here is simply revenue generation. The customs has proven this correct as well as their revenues have gone up in recent weeks. The government only needs to fix the port roads and drive more efficiency at the ports otherwise this will be a temporary fix once the borders are reopened.

4. Foreign policy benefits (I.e. resolving issues of economic sabotage) : this will give us more bargaining chips as the FG looks to resolve issues of economic sabotage coming from Benin republic. The Benin government makes a lot of money by sabotaging our policies. Case in point is a statistic that shows Benin as the third largest importer of rice in the world whereas we all know where much of that rice ends up.
Importers who bring in this rice pay duties to the Benin government and then smuggle it into Nigeria.

5. Foreign policy benefits (I.e. resolving issues of non-cooperation was towards dealing with boko haram: a lot of our neighbors have taken a non commital attitude towards fighting boko haram head on. Some of our neighboring Countries such as Niger and Chad are entirely landlocked and rely on us (In addition to Benin and Cameroon to a smaller extent) for most of their imports. closing the land borders affects their economies adversely which idealistically makes them more willing to do our bidding.

I hope this helps someone here better understand the issues being discussed.

Most of those that purchase form are those who have not take the option of online registration. The ladies was charging you for her service of helping you to visit the NIMC website, download and print hard copy for easy of pick up. You are paying for a service.

If you do not want to pay to get your NIN, visit their website, pre-enrolled yourself and print out the filled pre-enrollment form OR download and print the Pre-enrolment form yourself, fill it and bring it to their center. By the time you calculate the cost and the stress, you will realise why the lady sold the form to you for N100.

For more information about Pre-enrolment and free enrolment form, you can visit https://www.nimc.gov.ng/preenrolment-online/

Would you mind sharing your findings with the public? I'm particularly interested in knowing what you discovered...as whilst there is a long held belief that these factors play a role, no one to be the best of my knowledge has been able to quantify the extent to which they play a role.

This letter by the owner Of the company doesn't clear Yaradua, Madueke or Jonathan.

According to him or her, they signed an agreement to supply him or her Wet gas at no cost in 2009 while he will sell byproducts and Nigeria's supply power stations at no cost

Nonetheless, they broke the agreement in 2010 under Jonathan when they bypassed him and gave the right to one of initial parties involved in the deal.

It shows that the country is in a terrible mess!

In the write up, the company never really mention any physical investment it made that might warrant losses. It only stated that it already got land from Cross Rivers state for development.

You hit the nail in the right direction. My thoughts have been on the fact that it’s never been stated that P&ID made significant losses from investments made. As far as it’s been stated there has never been significant physical investment in their part. How do you see compensation on the basis of future profits when you’ve made no losses / costs to accrued said profits.

I suspect this is one of the judgement debt scams NOI mentioned in her book. Only issue is that a UK court awarded the debt.

One of the reason why I'm reluctant to leave Jigawa state. Criminal activities is at the minimum, I can walk around 12 midnight without boys attacking me. I served in Dutse, I love Birini kudu tho it's more lively than Dutse.

Back when I served the state government was luring corpers to stay behind to teach in their schools. Pay was about 65k or 85k...don’t remember exactly now... and there was free accommodation. I know a number of ppl who decided to stayed back for a few years while some are still there with their families now.

Is that programme still on?

BrilliantF:


I camped in Gumel, that was in 2016 Nov. They said the population of that set was much, so they had two camps for that set. Jigawa is such a nice place. Though I didn't like the weather. I enjoyed my service year

You’re right about the weather. It’s two extremes at certain times of the year. Winter jackets, head warmers and gloves in the mornings and nights and then it gets really hot during the day. And then other parts of the year you have to deal with sandstorms.
