Resolution passed by the National Assembly allows Jammeh to stay in power for three more months, state media says.

Yahya Jammeh has been in power for more than 20 years [Reuters]

The Gambia's National Assembly has adopted a resolution to allow President Yahya Jammeh to stay in power for three more months, starting from Wednesday, according to state television.

Jammeh, who has ruled The Gambia for 22 years, initially acknowledged opponent Adama Barrow as the winner of elections in December, but later rejected the ballot count as flawed and lodged a complaint with the country's Supreme Court.

Barrow is due to be inaugurated on Thursday.

Jammeh had declared a state of emergency on Tuesday, just days before he was due to step down, with British and Dutch travel agencies scrambling to evacuate thousands of tourists on Wednesday.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan was awarded in the US on Thursday for his leadership in human rights in Africa’s most populous nation, Nigeria.

Jonathan, who was awarded in recognition of his leadership in “human rights, social justice and universal fight for freedom”, becomes the first African leader to be so honoured.

I have read the law that made Pastor Adeboye announce this morning that he was handing over the running of the Nigerian Wing of the RCCG to somebody else. The following are just snapshots of the complicated law.
· The Law is called the National Code of Corporate Governance.
· The law was first passed in 2008 by PDP’s President Umoru Musa Y’aradua.
· The Law applies to all faith, not just the CHURCH.
· Prominent pastors tried to prevail on Goodluck Jonathan to repeal the law when he became President.
· GEJ explained that no president has that power to undo what the congress has done.
· Nigerian lawmakers insisted the law is good for Nigeria. They refused to undo.
· Prominent Pastors including Pastor Adeboye, Oritsejafor and Bishop Oyedepo joined CAN challenging the law in court.
· Muhammadu Buhari’s Attorney General sided with CAN and the pastors.
· They recently lost the case.
· The law forces Pastors to pick between paying taxes including their tithes and offering or
· Pastor can opt out but the leader will only stay in office for twenty years or when he/she turns 70 years old.
· He also cannot pass the leadership torch on to his loved ones when the time comes.
· If he chooses to pay taxes, the government will look at his books and enforce payment based on tithes and offering and other incomes.
· If he settles with the last option, he will be in power until Jesus returns and will hand over the church to anyone including his wife, wife, driver, cook, or you reading this.
· The law is very complicated but this is the best reading of it from me at this time.

In spite of the cloud of doubts surrounding its operations in Nigeria, the promoters of Mavrodi Moneybox Mundial (MMM), a Ponzi scheme that promises 30% interest on seed funds say the scheme would resume on January 14 as promised.
“Everyone expecting to see a stronger and more sustainable community from 14th January,” MMM Nigeria tweeted on Wednesday.
The scheme in a message sent to all subscribers in December 2016 said it was freezing withdrawal of confirmed Mavros (funds) for one month, noting that the measure was put in place because “the System is experiencing heavy workload.”
While critics believed the scheme was gone for good, participants and promoters said their belief in the system was unwavering. New rules for participants are expected to come into effect on January 14 to ensure its sustainability, the promoters explained.
“New model will address the issues of fake proof of payment and non-confirmation of order by recipients,” said MMM Nigeria.
“On the issue of fighting multiple accounts, the use of BVN was suggested which was unanimously rejected. Head of CRO, Mr Andrew attested that BVN can only be verified by Nigerian banks, so there is no way support can verify BVN.

A Nigerian drug peddler, John Okoro who had served a prison term and was a few hours from being deported has made a daring escape from the Anti-Narcotics Cell’s custody, Indian newspapers have reported.

Okoro, 35, had sought permission to step out of the detention room on the first floor of the agency’s Azad Maidan office around 2 am, saying he wanted to use the toilet, and then jumped from the balcony. He crashed through the asbestos roof and fled on foot.

The constable guarding him also leaped from the balcony in a desperate attempt to nab him, but ended up injured. He is recovering at the Nagpada police hospital.

The Anti-Narcotics Cell’s Azad Maidan office is barely 15 feet from the local police station. The office shares a wall with the police’s station detection room. The Esplanade court is in the same compound.

An alert has been issued for Okoro, who was convicted for trying to selling banned substances in 2014 and recently completed his jail term.

Before his conviction, the 35-year-old Nigerian lived in Koparkhairane, Navi Mumbai. After his prison sentence ended, he was placed under the ANC’s custody on December 31 and he was due to be deported on Monday afternoon.

“Around 2 am, Okoro told the constable on guard that he wanted to visit the washroom. He was being taken there when he jumped from the balcony. He landed on the asbestos roof, which immediately gave away,” a police officer said. “He ran in the directions of Mahapalika Marg.”

Another officer said a manhunt had been launched and the Anti-Narcotics Cell had asked informers to be on the lookout. Okoro was wearing a blue shirt, blue jeans and slippers.

Fresh charges stemming from his daring escape have been registered at the Azad Maidan police again.

NEW TARIFFS FOR VEHICLES TAKE EFFECT

•SUVs attracts 70% duty; tokunbo 35%
With the ban on importation of vehicles through land borders taking effect, the implementation of new duties for vehicles and some goods have also commenced.
Affected in the new tariff regime are brand new Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and second-hand cars. Also affected are food items, like salt, rice and others, which are produced in the country.
With the commencement of the new duties, SUVs, sports cars, yachts and boats now attract 70 per cent duties. Second-hand vehicles, on the other hand, attract 35 per cent duty. The new policy is in line with the new Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) Common External Tariff (CET) regime.
A circular by the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun to the Nigeria Customs Services (NCS) listed other items affected as salt and sugarcane, whose duty rose from 10 per cent to 70 per cent. The duty on alcoholic spirit, beverages and tobacco also rose from 20 per cent to 60 per cent, while rice attracts 60 per cent duty, from 10 per cent
In the new tariff regime, duty on cement was increased from 10 per cent to 50 per cent, while cotton/ fabrics materials attacks 45 per cent duty, from 35 per cent.
Also affected are anti-malarial and antibiotics drugs, tomatoes paste, cassava products, crude palm oil and wheat flour whose duty was reviewed upwards.
There was, however, a downward review of such items, as bolt, industrial oil and other equipment.
Adeosun’s circular said that President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the new tariff regime. The finance minister’s circular on the new tariff stated: “This is to confirm that Mr. President has approved the 2016 fiscal policy measures made up of the Supplementary Protection Measures (SPM) for implementation together with the ECOWAS CET 2015 – 2019 with effect from 17th October, 2016.”
Confirming this, outgoing spokesman of the Customs, Wale Adeniyi, said there is no going back on the new policy, stressing that Customs would begin its implementation. He stated this in a telephone chat with Daily Sun.

VEHICLES STUCK AS IMPORT BAN THROUGH LAND BORDERS TAKES EFFECT
• Customs sets up anti-smuggling units, redeploys senior officers
As the federal government’s ban on the importation of vehicles through the land borders came into effect on January 1, the Association of Nigerian Customs Licensed Agents (ANCLA) has cried out that several vehicles on their way into the country were stuck at the borders before the deadline elapsed.
This is just as the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) has promised to make sure that the borders are well manned to fish out smugglers and tuesday announced the redeployment of eight Assistant Comptrollers-General (ACGs) and 238 Deputy Comptrollers (DCs), including its former spokesman.
The agency, in a statement, said the redeployment was carried out to strengthen operations and reposition the service to meet the challenges of the new year.
In a phone chat with THISDAY tuesday, the Public Relation Officers of the nation’s busiest land borders, Seme and Idiroko, said the Customs Service, as an organ of the federal government, was duty bound to enforce any directive from the government.
The federal government last year had prohibited the importation of vehicles, new and old, through land borders effective January 1, restricting all vehicle imports to Nigeria seaports only.
Speaking on activities at the Seme border yesterday, Customs PRO, Seme Command, Taupyen Selchang, said movement along the border was normal, adding that the agency was well prepared ahead of the take off date.
According to him, nothing special happened yesterday as far as vehicle importation was concerned. “No vehicle was brought in, our enforcement teams are on patrol and well armed.
“Customs is an arm of the federal government we have been given the mandate to enforce the policy and I assure you that we will do so.
“Any vehicle brought in through the land borders will be seized and the importers will be prosecuted,” he added.
He said the command had set up anti-smuggling and enforcement units in preparation for the take off of the policy.
On his part, Customs PRO, Idiroko Command, Modees Usman, said stakeholders in the command were fully aware of the implication of violating the order by the federal government.
According to him, “The Area Comptroller, Idiroko Command, held a meeting with all stakeholders before Christmas to sensitise them. They are well informed.
“As we speak, our anti-smuggling architecture is fully in place to deal with smugglers. So far, since the first of January, we have not recorded any case of smuggling.”
In an interview with THISDAY recently, the Customs Area Comptroller of Seme Border, Victor Dimka, disclosed that there was massive push to import vehicles into Nigeria last month.
“Absolutely, there is so much activity in terms of vehicles coming into the country legally and being handed over by Benin Republic Customs and also individuals bringing their vehicles to pay duty.
“For instance, on December 20th, we received 130 vehicles which has never happened before and prior to that, we also received 99 that came in.
“If you go to the car park, the whole place is filled up and so we are saying without fear of contradiction that we are up and doing not only in Nigeria but Benin Republic which is aware to see that they get these vehicles here for duty payment before the deadline of January 1, 2017.”
However, ANLCA at the Seme border said yesterday that so many vehicles that had tried to beat the deadline were trapped at the border posts.
The chairman of ANLCA, Alhaji Bisiriyu Danu, said as of Friday, December 30, 2016, the Customs Service had asked the agents to stop payment of duties on vehicles by 5 p.m.
Danu said the association was not aware of any circular countering the ban.
He said that so many vehicles that were un-cleared by customs agents were still trapped yesterday morning at the ports of neighbouring countries.
The customs agent said that the association was engaging with some government representatives to get a three-month grace period, adding that the grace period would enable ships carrying vehicles to berth for clearance before implementation of the ban.
The customs agent said the ban would render many car dealers around Badagry and its environs idle and this could be a dangerous trend.
He further warned that the enforcement of the policy would increase smuggling across the borders.
Danu said that the policy would also increase unemployment among youths in the area.
“The Seme border is extremely porous and the situation has been managed properly by Customs officials, but this policy is going to increase smuggling.
“All the unapproved routes would be exploited by smugglers. So smuggling would be on the rise with this policy that the government has put in place.
“Also, it would increase the rate of unemployment of youths in this area, as many people rely on this as a means of livelihood.
“The government should consider all these factors and lift the ban on vehicles through the land borders,” he told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
A major stakeholder in Seme, Chief Sam Maduike, also pleaded with the federal government to lift the ban.
“The policy is going to bring untold hardship on the masses, as the average Nigerian cannot afford to buy a brand new car.
“Also many people rely on buying used vehicles as their means of livelihood, but this policy is just going to worsen the situation in the country.
“The government should consider all these and lift the ban,” he said.
A resident, Mr Tunde Apata, pleaded with the government to lift the ban, adding, “I helped people to buy cars from Cotonou and I have been doing that for several years. So, basically, this has been my only source of income.
“With the ban, I do not know how I would cater for myself and family. I am doomed,” he said.
Apata said the Customs Service was complying with the directive of the federal government on the ban.
The President of the National Council of Managing Directors of Licensed Customs Agents, Mr. Lucky Amiwero, also told NAN that the federal government should inaugurate a committee to look critically at the implications of the ban on vehicle imports through the land borders.
He said that government should also look at the risk to the lives of Customs officers because there would be a rise in smuggling.
Amiwero said that the question that should bother the government is: “Are Nigerian ports friendly to accept vehicles?”
He urged government to address the high cost of doing business at Nigerian ports.
“Our draft level should be increased to accommodate bigger ships carrying vehicles.
“The most important thing is for government to provide a way for ships to sail easily into Nigerian ports and reduce the costs of doing business at the ports,” Amiwero said.
The Customs agent said shipping costs, terminal operators’ handling costs and other costs make the importation of vehicles into Nigerian ports expensive and uncompetitive, compared to other ports in the sub-region.
He said port costs, the value of the vehicles and the procedures of clearance were very key to getting the policy right.
Amiwero recalled that in 1998 and 1999, he fought to bring back cargoes through the land borders because government was losing a lot of revenue to neighbouring ports.
“We have porous borders and we do not have the tools to check smuggling,” Amiwero said.
He said operators of car assembly plants should also be provided with a conducive environment to operate.
However, the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) said it supported the ban.
The National Publicity Secretary of the association, Mr. Stanley Ezenga, told NAN that the association’s support was borne out of the economic benefits that the policy would bring to the nation.
Ezenga said: “This is in terms of revenue and improved capacity for local automobile manufacturing.
“We support the new policy to ban vehicles through the land borders in its entirety because of the obvious economic benefits to the nation.
“First, activities are at their lowest ebb at the various ports due to the diversion of cargoes to ports in neighbouring countries and we believe the policy will make our ports busy as vehicles will now have to come in through the ports.
“Also, there is the government’s Automotive Policy in place and designed to encourage local capacity in the manufacturing of vehicles.
“So, we believe the policy would prevent dumping and smuggling through better monitoring.”
On whether the policy took off effectively on January 1 as announced, Ezenga said he would need feedback from his men at the border posts to be sure.
“The National Assembly once called for the suspension of the policy but I do not know if the federal government is going ahead or backing off.
“It is still very early in January. Our men are in the field and we will know with time if the policy is going ahead or not,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Comptroller-General of the Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd), has approved the redeployment of eight ACGs and 238 DCs of Customs.
The Customs Service said yesterday that the redeployment was carried out to strengthen operations and reposition the service to meet the challenges of the new year.
The redeployment, which is with immediate effect, saw ACG Charles Edike moved from Zone A to Human Resource Development (HRD); ACG Ahmed Mohammed from HRD to Zone B; and ACG Aminu Dangaladima from Zone B to Enforcement.
ACG Francis Dosumu was moved from Enforcement to Zone D; ACG Augustine Chidi from Zone D to Excise, Free Trade Zone and Industrial Incentives (Ex, FTZ, & II); ACG Monday Abueh from Ex, FTZ, & II to Zone A while ACG Umar Sanusi was moved from the headquarters to Zone C.
Also, ACG Abdulkadir Azerema was redeployed from Zone C to the headquarters.
According to a statement issued by the Customs Services’
Deputy Public Relations Officer, Joseph Attah, the redeployment of Deputy Comptrollers of Customs affected its Public Relations Officer, DC Wale Adeniyi, who was posted to Apapa Customs Area Command, Lagos.
“As all the affected officers report at their new zones and commands, the comptroller-general reiterated the federal government’s ban on the importation of rice and vehicles through the land borders.
“He charged all officers and men of the service to ensure maximum collection of revenue and strict implementation of the fiscal policy of government,” the statement added.

MMM RELEASES 2017 RULES AHEAD JAN. 14
As it may probably unfreeze accounts of its users on January 14, Mavrodi Mondial Movement (MMM) ponzi scheme has released 2017 guidelines for the Nigerian participants.
According to Nigerian Bulletin, MMM programmers are working earnestly with a new model which will be announced and implemented at a later date.
This, the MMM Admin. claims will help keep the system balanced:
“To keep the GH(Get Help) and PH(Provide Help) balanced. No matter whether people join us or not.. and it will be sustainable.
“When it will be implemented, we will be notified. We can PH and we should keep our downlines updated.”
Recall that the ponzi scheme froze the accounts of its mavros, as the particicipants are popularly called, on December 12, 2016, in order “to help prevent any problems during the new year season. And also to tackle the media frenzy that has been going on in the country”, MMM said in a circular sent out to all users of the scheme. The latest statement on the new guidelines further reads:
About the growth of bonuses
We have to see towards it… half of guiders’ supporters said it should keep growing. Guiders misbehaving will be dealt with. And the only way to get them is by getting evidence.
Unfreezing of Mavro will be probably January 14 or might be sooner.
About proof of payment
We will use a new strategy for fake proof of payments:
We will start checking orders when it turns yellow, that is…
Change of guiders button will be done this week or any time soon. Phone number verification would be implemented soon… via sms notification.
Guiders school: Soon we will start automized guiders school and make it well organised.
False news around:
We should demonstrate to others that our community is working and not give heed or ear to what people say about the system… It solely depends on us the leaders.
We can also talk to people to PH and let them know that their mavro will keep growing.Recall that the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), the Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) and Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) had warned NIgerians against using the scheme.
