Agriculture / Catfish Scarcity Looms by juventino: 7:04pm On Jun 08, 2016
Catfish may soon be out of the reach of the average Nigerian as the hike in prices of feeds has forced some fish farmers out of business, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports. Some farmers who spoke to NAN on Wednesday in Lagos described the development as worrisome, calling on government to ensure price stability in the industry. NAN reports that Skretting Feeds had in the first week of June increased the price of a bag of its 2mm feed from about N5, 000 to N8, 000. A farmer, Mr Emmanuel Ogharegbe, said that many of his colleagues had since abandoned the business, due to arbitrary hike in the prices of feeds. Ogharegbe said the price hike did not translate to an increase in the price of fish as fish traders operated a cartel that could frustrate any increase in per kilo price of fish. Another farmer, Mrs Josephine Obi, wondered how she would survive if the price of feed continued to increase. “On June 1, I received a text message from a woman who was selling feeds to me announcing an increase in the prices of feeds. “Early this year, a Coppens Feeds increased its price and we shifted allegiance to Skretting Feeds. Now, the price of our new brand has increased by more than 50 per cent. Her colleague, Mr Olushola Ogundele, who decried the hike in feed price, appealed to the Federal Government to come up with a policy that would ensure price stability in the agricultural sector. Ogundele said that government’s intervention was critical to forestalling the scarcity of catfish in the country. Another farmer, Mrs Beatrice Okpara, said that most of her colleagues were no longer in the farming business due to power outages and the increasing price of feeds. “The price of fish meal, a major component for formulating fish feeds, increased from N500 per kilo to about N800 per kilo in the space of two months. “If it continues like this, it will affect optimal production of fish,’’ Okpara said. Also, Mr Joseph Makinde, a fingerlings producer, said the imported feeds were critical in raising fish in the early phase of their life. NAN recalls that Chief Tayo Akingbolagun, President of the Catfish Farmers Association of Nigeria, had on Jan. 11 told fish farmers to shun Coppens Feeds, over its arbitrary hike in prices. Akingbolagun said that the 50 per cent increment in the price of Coppens 2mm feeds, was a reflection of the company’s unfriendly posture in the market. He said that the 2mm Coppens Feeds being sold for N5, 000 suddenly increased to N7, 500 during the yuletide, a development that put many farmers into difficulty.

Crime / Alleged Lagos Killer Husband Collapses, Hospitalised by juventino: 5:41am On May 29, 2016
50 – year-old man, Jafar Osiugie, who allegedly murdered his wife, on Friday night, has been rushed to hospital.
Sunday Vanguard learned that the suspect, arrested and taken to the Lagos State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, began to act sickly and unable to stand without support before he collapsed, yesterday. He was allegedly taken to Falomo General Hospital, Ikoyi for treatment. Jafar was alleged to have slit the throat of his wife, Roselyn Solugie, at No 8 Araromi Street, Oshodi, Lagos. It was gathered that the corpse of Roselyn, who sold frozen foods at Ijora, was found early Friday. Accusing the husband of murdering their daughter, the family of the deceased vowed to seek justice. Denying the allegation, the brother of the suspect said Jafar was attacked by the same people who murdered his wife.

Business / Dollar Jumps To N350 by juventino: 1:36pm On May 13, 2016
After the pronouncement of deregulated pump price, the dollar has moved from N323 on 11th, to N335 on 12th, N340 on 13th morning and now N350.
Where do we go from here? I think Nigerians will be strangulated soon. The previous protest in 2012 was induced by some politicians, because as far as I know, the musicians will never play for free. Now come 2016 with weak opposition, I think people will soon take to the streets with their heart and mind.

Politics / States Sink Deeper Into Financial Quagmire by juventino: 9:38pm On Mar 27, 2016
By Dele Sobowale.

“The Federation Accounts Allocation Committee on Friday shared N613.6bn among the three tiers…[and] N620.73bn shared in the month of February”. PUNCH, April 21, 2012.

COMPARISON OF MONTHLY ALLOCATIONS: JUNE 2006 AND FEBRUARY 2016.

It is no longer news that the states of Nigeria are in serious financial straits. Nigerians need to know how they got into these difficulties and the way out can then be sought. The years 2012 and 2013 were our golden years in terms of crude oil revenue and allocations from the Federation accounts to the three tiers of government. The figures below tell part of the story better than any number of words can tell us.
2012 2016 DIFFERENCE(%)

FEB N620.73bn N370.39bn 40

As can be seen from the figures above, all the three tiers of government will receive for February 2016, N250.34bn, or 40% less funds than they did in 2012. That is bad enough. Take a look at the figures below. The total revenue allocation to all the 36 states in 2006 and 2016, a decade after, are very revealing.

JUN 2006 FEB 2016 DIFFERENCE(%)

N196bn N97.31bn 51

In other words, the states are receiving in the first two months of 2016 only half of what they collected in 2006. More revealing is the fact that four states, in 2006, collected over N14bn each. In descending order, they were: Rivers (N23bn), Bayelsa (N18bn), Delta (N16bn) and Akwa Ibom(N14bn). The least revenue collected by any state in June 2006 went to Nasarawa (N2.99bn). In February 2016, no state collected up to N10bn. The top four revenue earners in February 2016 were: Akwa Ibom(N8.55bn), Lagos (N6.61bn), Delta(N6.06bn) and Rivers (N5.42bn). That means that Akwa Ibom now collects 61 per cent of what it did in 2006 Rivers now collects 24 per cent of what was taken home in 2006, Delta 38 per cent; Bayelsa only 17 per cent. See the table below.

STATE JUN 2006 FEB 2016 DIFFERENCE(%)

Akwa Ibom N 14bn 8.55bn -39

Bayelsa N18bn 2.98bn -83

Delta N16bn 6.06bn -62

Rivers N23bn 5.47bn -76

Incidentally, Lagos State has emerged as the second highest collector of federally allocated revenue with N6.6bn in February 2016 and it is the only state which earned more in 2016 than it did in 2006. The reason is clear. The state’s share of the Value added Tax, VAT, had steadily pushed it close to the top. There is a subtle lesson for all states in this: attract manufacturers to your state and earn the rewards afterwards in high Internally Generated Revenue, IGR.

The state collecting the least allocation in February 2016 was Osun state (N6.23m). That is right, a mere six million two hundred and twenty nine thousand naira for a state claiming a monthly wage bill of close to N2.7 billion. Now it is clear why that state is in the sort of turmoil which other states will soon be experiencing.

How about Bayelsa state, the former President’s own state? Well, Bayelsa went from N18bn in June 2006 to an astonishing N2.98bn in February 2016 – a drop of 83% from ten years ago. That makes Bayelsa the second worst case among states. Osun State, unfortunately, carries the unwanted trophy of the state closest to bankruptcy.

THE ROAD TO HELL

The logical question is how did we get into this sorry situation as result of which state governments and their public servants are now poised for protracted conflict? Only a fool can fail to see the danger signs all over Nigerian states.

For this another set of facts are required — drawn from the records.

NUMBER OF STATES COLLECTING REVENUE

Categories States Jun 2006 States Feb 2016

N25-10bn 4 0

N9-6bn 3 4

N5-4bn 7 0

N3-2bn 22 25

Under N2bn 0 7

The facts are clear. States are getting increasingly poorer. Furthermore, whereas only one state collected less than N3bn in June 2006 and that was Nasarawa, N2.9bn, thirty two states in February of this year would collect less than that amount – and that trend will continue indefinitely. It might even get worse with time.

PUTTING ON OUR THINKING CAPS

The first thing the reader, even if he is a paid employee of a state government, should discard is the notion that this piece has been written to run down his state government. Obviously, when Osun (APC controlled) and Bayelsa (PDP controlled) had been highlighted from figures supplied by the Federal Ministry of Finance, every state is only receiving a feedback on how well it had prepared itself for the proverbial rainy day. On the whole state governors of the class of 2007 to 2015 have been irresponsible and perhaps unpatriotic – irrespective of what their party members and paid defenders might say about them.
