Politics / Report Bribe Seekers To Me, Tinubu Tells Qatari Investors by Kuginzi: 8:50pm On Mar 03 |
By Emmanuel Egobiambu President Bola Tinubu has re-echoed his government’s resolve to fight corruption and create a good business environment, urging Qatari investors to report any Nigerian government official who asks for bribe. Tinubu said this at the Nigeria-Qatar Business and Investment Forum in Doha, on Sunday, promising that his government will deal decisively with any entrenched interests in the country that undermine investor confidence in the Nigerian economy. "I am here to give you the assurance that reforms are going on; forget about whatever you heard in the past. Whatever is the obstacle or problem that some of you might have experienced; it is in the past because there is no obstacle in the future,” Tinubu said "Do not offer a bribe to any of our people, and if it is requested or taken from you, report to us. You will have access to me. Nigeria will no longer be defined by the past, but by what we do now and moving forward. Do not let perceptions become a hindrance to your will to invest. Nigeria is serious about revolutionizing investment promotion. “We are removing obstacles today and we are going to continue to remove all obstacles. We have done so much within nine months. And I am assuring you, it is free entry and free exit. Your funds will flow smoothly into and out of our country. Bring your investments”. According to Tinubu, the war against corruption and insecurity in Nigeria had been significantly strengthened with the appointment of a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Nuhu Ribadu as National Security Adviser (NSA). "We have a man who has won many global awards for anti-corruption as an anti-corruption czar,” he said. “My responsibility is to tell you that Nigeria is open for business and to assure you that your investments are safe in our hands. We have men and women of great reputation here. And we believe we can forge a good committee that will advance our discussions to fruitful conclusions. “A nation is an artificial entity unless there are good people to drive it. People build great nations and we have great people. We are ready.” https://www.channelstv.com/2024/03/03/report-to-me-any-govt-official-that-asks-for-bribe-tinubu-tells-qatari-investors/

Politics / No Going Back On Demand For N1m Minimum Wage – Ogun NLC by Kuginzi: 10:08pm On Feb 28 |
By Taiwo Bankole The Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Ogun State, Hammed Ademola-Benco, on Wednesday, said that there is no going back on the proposed N1m minimum wage for workers. Ademola-Benco stated this while addressing journalists in Abeokuta, the state capital as the union ended the two-day protest called to demand that the Federal Government address the challenges of insecurity, hunger and the high cost of living in the country. The state NLC chairman insisted that the national leadership of the union would not back down on its demands, particularly the N1m minimum wage. The National President, NLC, Joe Ajaero, had stated that if the ongoing inflation continues unabated, organised labour might push for a new minimum wage of up to N1m for Nigerian workers. Ajaero said the demand from organised labour would be influenced by the cost of living which has been increasing since President Bola Tinubu assumed office, notably due to the removal of fuel subsidy and other policies. Members of the NLC had embarked on a nationwide protest over the economic hardship occasioned by the fuel subsidy removal, amongst others, before suspending it and thereafter, gave the FG a new two-week ultimatum. Ajaero, however, stated on Wednesday that the labour union could not proceed with its two-day nationwide protest due to intimidation and threats. Speaking with journalists at the union’s secretariat in Abeokuta, Ademola-Benco lamented that Nigerian workers are among the worst paid in the world. He said, “N1m minimum wage was a product of dollarisation, so we are not withdrawing that, except until they (FG) explain to us why we have to shift ground. We are human beings, we are ready to shift ground. "Because I can’t just imagine somebody working in Canada and earning 30 Canadian dollar per hour. If the Canadian dollar is N1,000, that means that person is taking N30,000 per hour and some people here are not earning up to N6,000 per eight hours. “They must bring everything to the table and explain to us, convince us why we should not dollarise salary of workers in this country.” Ademola-Benco said the nationwide protest was successful despite the pulling out by its sister union, Trade Union Congress and other affiliates. https://punchng.com/no-going-back-on-demand-for-n1m-minimum-wage-ogun-nlc/

Politics / I’m Back To Chase Away Killer Herdsmen – Sunday Igboho by Kuginzi: 3:23pm On Feb 27 |
Samuel Oamen Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, fondly called Sunday Igboho who returned to the country last week has said he is ready to face and chase out killer herdsmen from Yorubaland. Igboho said this while addressing a group of people in the Yoruba language during the burial of his mother in his hometown, Igboho area of Oyo state. He said the police and the soldiers deployed to Yorubaland, especially to Ekiti where monarchs were killed in broad daylight cannot combat the supposed killers. He said: “I want you all to stand with me so that we can liberate ourselves from the herders encroaching on our lands. Let us mount security in all the Yoruba lands ourselves, if not, they will take our lands. “We don’t have to wait for the government or anyone. Let’s just work in unison. We cannot farm on our lands because of these herders. "And our people are going hungry and angry. We don’t need the soldiers the government claims to have deployed to Ekiti state. We work following our elders and mount the places ourselves. "It was my mother that was my fear before but now she’s gone, I have nothing to be scared of again. I am now back to take back our land.” While refuting claims that he was working for politicians, Igboho queried if he could be working for politicians and if they would still want him dead. He added: “I am not working for any politician. In fact, if I incidentally slapped someone, the government would be ready to arrest me and put me behind bars. "I know they are watching me closely now to know my next action but I’m ready to take a step to stop these marauders’ activities in our lands.” https://thenationonlineng.net/im-back-to-chase-away-killer-herdsmen-sunday-igboho/

Politics / Hardship: Lawmakers Can’t Cut Their Salaries By Half – Deputy Speaker by Kuginzi: 2:04pm On Feb 27 |
By Aliyu Jalal The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has said that the salary of the National Assembly members is not as much as Nigerians think and 50 per cent of it cannot be sacrificed to mitigate the suffering of the masses. Amidst the ongoing economic crisis, some Nigerians have urged members of the National Assembly to take a significant step in alleviating the suffering. One of the calls demanded the lawmakers to cut their salaries by half to demonstrate solidarity with the masses grappling with rising inflation, unemployment, and a general decline in living standards. Responding to the call during an interview on Channels Television, the Deputy Speaker acknowledged the severity of the crisis and emphasized the need for intervention. He also underscored the importance of sound policies that extend beyond mere pronouncements. Kalu said that delayed gratification is essential for long-term gains, even as Nigerians endure the current hardships. He assured the public that the 10th National Assembly was not indifferent to their plight, adding that they were prepared to make adjustments where necessary. He explained that while salaries are fixed and form part of legislators’ compensation, allowances serve specific purposes related to their duties. He added that spending allowances is strictly regulated, and any misuse can result in sanctions upon retirement. He also said that contrary to popular belief, the salary of the National Assembly members fell short of public perception, noting that reducing it by 50 per cent would not significantly impact the public. He said, “If we found out (just like we did during the COVID 19) that people are suffering and we need to intervene, we will make certain sacrifices to be able to identify with the people. “I can assure you as well that we are not hoping that this crisis we are going through will linger for a very long time because when you have sound policies, it doesn’t end with just policy pronouncement; we need to give a timeline for the maturation of that policy and Nigerians are passing through a phase now in which delayed gratification for a better gain tomorrow is necessary. "We don’t intend to make it last for too long. But if there’s the need to make some adjustments, I can assure you that the members of the 10th National Assembly are willing to make adjustments. “But at the moment, talking about the salary of the members of the National Assembly, it’s not as much as people think. Salary is different from allowances, which are meant to do the jobs that the constituencies have sent us to do. "Nobody is allowed to touch allowances, it’s your salary that belongs to you. Allowances have subheadings for things which they are meant for. If you use it wrongly, when you are retiring, you would be sanctioned for that. “So talking about the salary of the members of the National Assembly, it’s far from what it’s supposed to be. And I can assure you that if you reduce it by 50%, it would not really impact the public. "Based on current economic indices and the inflationary rate at the moment, what the members of the National Assembly are receiving cannot actively take them home to do their jobs in their various constituencies. So how could they cut their salaries by half?” https://dailytrust.com/hardship-lawmakers-cant-cut-their-salaries-by-half-deputy-speaker/

Politics / NLC President Presents Protesters’ Demands To National Assembly by Kuginzi: 1:49pm On Feb 27 |
By Gift Habib The President, Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, has handed over their letter of demands to the National Assembly. The demands included full implementation of the welfare provisions, employment generation, immediate subsidy to farmers, immediate subsidy to farmers to boost agricultural production, and fixing the four refineries among others. Ajaero handed over the letter to the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Labour, Employment, and Productivity, Senator Diket Plang on Tuesday. Ajaero in his remarks at the National Assembly, said Nigerians embarked on the peaceful protests because there was hunger in the land, adding that “Nigeria is becoming like Zimbabwe.” Ajaero noted that the minimum wage negotiation has started but the amount was yet to be decided. He said that the protest would serve as a signal to the FG to immediately tackle the challenges bedeviling the country. Plang, after receiving the letter assured the protesters that the demands of the NLC would be looked at and discussed immediately. The NLC and other related unions commenced national planned protests on Tuesday over the high cost of living, inflation, insecurity, and hardship in the country. The unions involved are the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria, FCT Council, National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, Nigeria Union of Teachers, and Construction Workers’ Union, among others. The protesters were seen carrying placards such as #End Poverty and Hunger. Support Local Industries#; Fix Local Refineries End Subsidy#; #End Naira Devaluation; Tax the Rich Subsidise the poor# to make their grievances known on the current economic hardship across the country.

Politics / NLC Threatens Total Shutdown If Protesters Are Attacked by Kuginzi: 10:19pm On Feb 26 |
By Kayode Oyero The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened to shut down its services all over the country if labour members are attacked during its planned two-day protest beginning February 27, 2024. The Labour, in a statement on Sunday, signed by its President, Joe Ajaero, said there is no going back on the planned industrial action. The NLC said the Federal Government must put on its thinking cap and implement its agreement with the Organised Labour as well as address the mounting economic crisis of survival in Nigeria. Nigeria is battling rising inflation, food inflation, forex crisis, economic hardship and high cost of living occasioned by the removal of petrol subsidy, attracting protests in parts of the country. Despite subtle pressure from the government for the group not to embark on the planned strike, the NLC said its member won’t be cowed to shelve their proposed nationwide protest. All we are saying now is that; let there be food for the people, let the people live in safety, let the people live a life of dignity devoid of suffocating IMF/World Bank economic policies,” the group said. Labour also raised the alarm that plans have been perfected to attack planned peaceful rallies across the country. Ajaero said, “We would want the State to know that the solution to our horrible economic situation and hunger is not by suppressing peaceful dissent or inflicting violence on peacefully protesting citizens as the government did in Minna and other cities where its agents tear-gassed and beat up women before locking them up for raising their voice against hunger. It does not lie in the deployment of State -sponsored terror. The pangs of hunger cannot be cowed by bullets or tear gas. “In light of this, we at the Nigeria Labour Congress and civil society allies are moving ahead with our protest rallies against economic hardship and insecurity in line with the decision of the National Executive Council.” "We advise the State to put on its thinking cap and find solutions to the pains it continues to cause the people instead of further dehumanising them. “However, if it is irrevocably set on the path of violence against us and other peace-loving Nigerians, it will be making a costly mistake because if we are attacked there will be a total shut down via withdrawal of services by workers. Let no one be deceived, we and other deprived Nigerians cannot easily be intimidated,” he added. https://www.channelstv.com/2024/02/25/nlc-threatens-total-shutdown-if-protesters-are-attacked/

Politics / Don’t Compound Tough Situation Of Nigerians, Tinubu Warns Civil Servants by Kuginzi: 9:27pm On Feb 22 |
By Seun Adeuyi President Bola Tinubu has warned senior civil servants against compounding the tough situation of Nigerians. Daily Trust reports that Nigerians have been complaining of hardship, which has triggered protests in different parts of the country. This followed the removal of fuel subsidy and some monetary policies during the President’s inaugural speech on May 29, 2023. Tinubu, who met with the Head of Service, The Body Of Permanent Secretaries, and some Directors-General of agencies at the State House, on Thursday, said policies impacting the welfare of the people and the economy must be treated with urgency, diligence, and a strong sense of duty. Tinubu asked public servants to always think and work with a generational understanding of their role in shaping national history, knowing that they serve as the engine room of the government and that their actions will affect more than 200 million people in the country and abroad. Tinubu said: “Let us make our children’s dreams come true. Why are we slowing that down? “It is not just shameful. It is unacceptable. We made a pledge to bring our people out of poverty. You should not increase their vulnerability. Help Nigerians to get out of these problems, do not compound the tough situation with unacceptable delays." The President warned that the ineffectiveness and unnecessary bureaucracy that result in the delay of interventions on the economy and with programmes targeting vulnerable citizens would not be tolerated. He directed that a monthly briefing by The Head Of Service and submission of key performance indicator (KPI) reports should be made to his office for review, and that quarterly interactive meetings between the President and The Body of Permanent Secretaries will now be scheduled. The Head Of Service and The Body Of Permanent Secretaries were mandated by the President to consistently measure progress in actualizing the Renewed Hope Agenda of his administration. Before the next meeting, I want to see progress in the civil service. I have been sending people to check the level of work that gets done. Service to the nation is extremely important. We are to change the narrative on Nigeria. "You and I can change the perception about Africa, not just Nigeria. We might not get it 100 percent right, but if we are focused, I think we can totally change and reshape the trajectory of our country in the right direction,’’ he said. Earlier, the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan briefed the President on the performance of the service in relation to previously established KPIs across multiple assessment streams.

Politics / Gowon To Nigerians: “Tinubu Needs More Time To Get Things Done” by Kuginzi: 9:37pm On Feb 21 |
Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (retd.), says it is too early to criticize President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Addressing journalists at the Presidential Villa on Wednesday, Gowon appealed to Nigerians to give President Tinubu more time to deliver on his campaign promises. Gowon noted that he was visiting Tinubu for the first time after his inauguration, adding that discussions revolved around matters concerning peace and security within the West African sub-region. Responding to questions about his advice to the President regarding the prevailing national circumstances, Gowon acknowledged the existing challenges but stressed that it’s too early to anticipate perfection. “I was telling him that there’s no Nigerian leader that can get there, that will not get all of these, all that is being said about him. But certainly, there is no doubt about all that one has heard and seen from various media. I think the government is trying its best to deal with the various problems of the country,” Gowon said. “But with Nigerians, don’t worry, you will get criticised but people who get there know better than you know. I think all one can say to Nigerians is that they have to give the President time to get things done and it is too early to sort of say a perfect result will be achieved. That is my opinion. “At least, if I remembered, I was told that I was too slow, fighting the war and that probably Nigeria would not make it and we should seek for discussion. Well, did we do it or not? They probably did not know the problem there on the ground there,” he added. https://politicsnigeria.com/gowon-to-nigerians-tinubu-needs-more-time-to-get-things-done/

Education / Hunger: ‘you’re Pushing Nigeria Towards Anarchy’ – ASUU Warns FG by Kuginzi: 9:15pm On Feb 21 |
By Muhammad Bukar The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Kano Zone, has warned President Bola Tinubu that the country is drifting towards anarchy and chaos due to untold hunger and starvation among the Nigerian populace. The union warned that the government’s adoption of the neo-liberal policies of the IMF and World Bank would in no time plunge the country into serious anarchy and uncertainty. The coordinator of ASUU, Kano Zone, Dr Abdulkadir Muhammad, stated this during an emergency press conference at the end of a zonal meeting comprising the seven universities in the zone on Wednesday in Kano where contentious issues were discussed by the Union. According to Muhammad: “We, as intellectuals, will not join in the current protests across the country, but rather, we will team up with civil society organisations and NGOs to compel government to drop the policies.” He said further: “We will use all available legal means to compel government to drop these anti-people IMF-World Bank policies, because the nation, whether you like it or not, is drafting gradually into anarchy while the President and his teams are making excuses.” ASUU also called on the President to faithfully implement the content of the agreement it freely signed with the union, describing it as the only way to end strikes in Nigerian universities. Issues in the agreement include the renegotiation of the Federal Government-ASUU 2009 agreement, which was reached when the exchange rate to the dollar was N146.7, which currently has risen above N1,700, a development the union said has eroded their salary by 90 per cent. He said further that ASUU lamented the refusal of the Nigerian government to sign a draft agreement reached with the union, even after changing the leaders of the negotiation committee several times. "Therefore, ASUU calls on the President Tinubu-led administration to immediately set in motion the process of upward-reviewing and signing of the Nimi Briggs Committee’s renegotiated draft agreement as a mark of goodwill and to forestall industrial crisis and restore hope for Nigeria’s public universities,” Muhammad stated. He confirmed that ASUU members have started receiving partial payments of their seven-and-a-half-month withheld salaries while calling on government to pay the remaining balance. In the same vein, the Kano zone ASUU called on the Kaduna State Government to immediately and unconditionally pay the withheld May to September 2022 salaries of staff of Kaduna State University. Among other issues, they also called on the government to urgently review the Nigeria University Commission, NUC, Act to check the proliferation of universities in the country in the absence of adequate provision for funding. https://dailypost.ng/2024/02/21/hunger-youre-pushing-nigeria-towards-anarchy-ASUU-warns-fg/

Politics / Igbo Fed Up With Nigeria, Won’t Join Hardship Protest – IPOB by Kuginzi: 5:45am On Feb 21 |
By Ikenna Obianeri The separatist Indigenous People of Biafra has urged people in the South-East not to join the festering protests by Nigerians against the current economic hardship in the country under the government of President Bola Tinubu. The separatist group warned that such protests must not take place in the southeastern states because Igbo had long lost interest in Nigeria and were only waiting for an opportunity to leave. The group made the claim in a statement on Tuesday by its spokesman, Emma Powerful. Powerful warned that anyone who organised any protest against economic hardship in the South-East would put Ndigbo in danger. The country has in recent times witnessed increasing agitation and protests over the rising cost of living and skyrocketing prices of foodstuffs. However, the apex socio-cultural Igbo organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Monday, called on the Igbo people not to join any such protests against the Tinubu-led Federal Government. Ohanaeze urged Nigerians to exercise patience with Tinubu. In a statement on Tuesday, IPOB spokesman “cautions the people of Biafra not to join any protest against hunger in Nigeria in any South-East territory.” Powerful said, “The current hardship in Nigeria should be the concern of Nigerians, not Biafrans. Biafrans are no longer interested in the affairs of Nigeria. Biafrans were abused, intimidated, beaten, killed and denied voting rights during the election of this present government. Ndigbo were told to wait, that it was not their turn to rule. “Anyone who organises any protest against economic hardship in Biafraland will put Biafrans in danger. During the #EndSARS protest, the Federal Government accused Ndigbo of attempting to destroy Nigeria with violence. We don’t want such profiling and targeting to repeat because of Ndigbo’s participation in any Nigerian mass protest. "Ndigbo should leave the current economic hardship in the contraption called Nigeria for Nigerians to deal with because this hardship is what God Almighty has in store for Nigeria for the crimes they have committed against Biafrans between 1967 to 1970 and up to date. “We understand that Ndigbo are equally affected by the economic hardship arising from the reckless and thoughtless economic policies of the government, but God is still seeing Biafrans through. We are worried about the suffering of other tribes, but there is nothing we can do. The current situation is why Biafrans are fighting for freedom. Nevertheless, we must apply wisdom.” The group further said anyone or group that wants to organise a protest for Nigeria’s hardship should kindly go to the northern or western part of the country and stage such protests there. “Our region is battling the state-sponsored insecurity, kidnappings, and killings by the Federal Government’s agencies and agents, including terrorists. We have much on our hands to do. We will not allow anyone or any group to use the arrangement of protests to import more agents of destabilisation into our territory,” it said. https://punchng.com/igbo-fed-up-with-nigeria-wont-join-hardship-protest-ipob/?amp 2 Likes 1 Share

Politics / Tinubu Working Hard To Make Nigeria Better, Secured, Says Matawalle by Kuginzi: 4:58pm On Feb 17 |
Musa Umar Bologi President Bola Tinubu is working round the clock to see that Nigeria is better and well secured, Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Matawalle has said. The Minister said the President has given priority to the safety of citizens by equipping the Military to function optimally and charged the Service Chiefs to rebuild the capacity of the security services. Matawalle, however, cautioned the citizens against using inflammatory comments against the government, as such comments would have severed consequences on the country. The Minister said this in a statement from his office against the backdrop of some unguarded utterances coming from some sections of the populace He said: “Such comments are incisive and destructive and can exacerbate tensions and lead to violence in our beloved nation. "The minister also said that President Tinubu understands the nexus between insecurity and poverty and that was why government is increasing its investment in MSMEs. He continued: ‘’This is in addition to the 15 Million vulnerable households that will be added to the extended social safety net.” "Just a few days ago, the President approved the creation of a committee that included the State Governors and Federal representatives that will explore among other things the possibility of establishing State Police that will help in checking mating crimes.” The Minister underscored the importance of unity, stating that what affects one Nigerian ultimately affects the entire West African sub-region and the African continent. “It is imperative for us as Nigerians to embrace dialogue and understanding in addressing our differences. We must remember that our strength lies in our diversity, and only through unity can we overcome the challenges facing our nation,” he said. Acknowledging the global nature of the challenges, Matawalle reassured the public that the President and his team “are working tirelessly to alleviate the burdens on the Nigerian populace.” The minister urged Nigerians to prioritize peace, tolerance, and national cohesion in their words and actions, as “we collectively strive towards building a prosperous and harmonious Nigeria.” https://thenationonlineng.net/tinubu-working-hard-to-make-nigeria-better-secured-says-matawalle/ |

Politics / Citizens Groan As Rice Hits N77,000 Per Bag by Kuginzi: 5:42am On Feb 11 |
By Godfrey George, Temitope Adetunji This is not the best of times for Nigerian families, who have had to adopt bizarre cost-cutting measures to cope with the recent hardship occasioned by the dramatic hike in the prices of goods and services. Several of them lamented that their income could no longer take care of their daily needs, adding that the prices of staples had almost tripled in the market. Rice, which is arguably one of the commonest consumed staples in the country, has risen to N77,000 per bag. In December, the National Bureau of Statistics stated that the country’s inflation rate hit a 27-year high as headline inflation rose to 28.9 per cent. The December headline inflation rate showed an increase of 0.72 percent when compared to the previous month’s rate. In recent years, food prices have been on the rise across Nigeria. The situation deteriorated due to the impact of government policies such as the removal of subsidy on petrol and the free fall of the naira in the foreign exchange market. Foodstuffs sellers in major cities, who spoke to Sunday PUNCH, lamented that the cost of a bag of rice had risen almost 200 per cent. Sunday PUNCH gathered that long grain rice, which used to sell for between N45,000 and N50,000 in November, now costs over N70,000, putting a huge pressure on the consumers. The unprecedented increase in the prices of commodities has caused nationwide hardship, with residents of some major cities taking to the streets to register their displeasure. From Kano to Niger, Rivers to and Osun, residents protested the hardship on the streets. In Niger State, for instance, residents of Suleja took to the street last Wednesday to register their displeasure over the high cost of living in the country. Wednesday’s protest came two days after a similar protest in Minna, the state capital. The Organised Labour on Friday insisted on embarking on an industrial action to register its displeasure over the current economic hardship in the country. Although the Federal Government has ordered the distribution of grains and other items to cushion the effects of the economic crisis across the country, citizens are still grappling with the hike in the prices of commodities. Lagos residents lament In Lagos, some residents, who spoke to one of our correspondents, lamented that the incessant increase in the prices of foodstuffs had strained their finances. This is as they urged the government to intervene before things got out of hand. A mother of two, Mrs Mede Orunmade, said this present situation had made life unbearable for her and her family. Orunmade stated that it was as though the country was at war, adding that the hike in the prices of foodstuffs was continuous. She said, “It has been a hard time for me and my family. The country hasn’t been in the right position for the past eight months. I have been struggling with my family to clear up our electricity bills. Coupled with the ever-rising price of foodstuffs, I don’t know if I am going to survive. "I used to operate an online business but it has packed up. There’s no gain on any business in Nigeria like before anymore. I am just striving to survive. “The surprising thing is that a small carton of noodles is now N7,000 to N7,800. We used to buy it for between N1,900 and N2,000 in the past. It is so shocking that the price of a bag of rice continues to change almost every minute. "A bag of rice five months ago was around N49,000, but it increased to N68,000. As of yesterday (Thursday), my supplier said it had risen to N70,000. The cheapest thing we used to buy before, garri, is now N2,500 for a paint bucket. It was N800 before.” Another Lagos resident and father of four, Mr Taiwo Babatunde, said he could no longer afford to feed his family like he used to. He asked the government to come to her aid, as her suffering was becoming too much. A housewife simply identified as Wunmi said, “The government needs to come to our aid now as everything is very hard. A bag of beans is now N65,000, which is three times the price it used to be. Also, groundnut oil is now N8,400 for four litres, and a bag of rice is now N70,000. "This is getting too much. We hope the government will come to help us.” Further findings by our correspondents revealed that a kilogramme of Semovita, which sold for N800 four months ago, now sells for N1,200. The price of beans also increased from around N1,500 to N4,200 per tin. Some women, who spoke to one of our correspondents at the Ibafo Market, Ogun State, lamented the difficulties they were facing in purchasing items from the market with little resources. A trader, Mrs Bamise Olaiya, said, “The prices of the foodstuffs are just annoying. I came to the market with N8,000 to buy some food items but the prices have changed between last week and now. Just last week, I bought three portions of tomatoes for N1,200 and pepper for N1,000, but today I have spent N4,200 for the same items. Pepper grinding has also increased from N200 to N300.” Businesses struggling – Traders Entrepreneurs across various sectors are feeling the pinch as they struggle to navigate through the challenging times. A skincare consultant, Mr Damilola Olasunkanmi, said the current economic situation had almost put her out of business. “I don’t get customers like I used to. My customers are cutting down on skincare purchases to prioritise other essentials like food and transportation, and that is affecting sales significantly. Restocking has become a daunting task as costs continue to soar,” he said. Similarly, a dental therapist managing a private clinic in Iwo, Osun State, Dr Oluwafemi Ogunsakin, noted that the surge in the cost of his services had deterred patients from seeking dental care. A foodstuffs retailer, Mrs Ore Ilerioluwa, lamented that the increase in prices had continued to threaten the operation of her business. She said, “I buy foodstuffs from the market wholesale and sell them in a little shop I run at home. But these daily changes in the prices of items are affecting me so much that I find it difficult to buy the items. “Do you know that three days ago I bought a carton of spaghetti for N13,000, today I was told it was N14,000. Now, when you add to the cost of each one today, by the time you return, the prices will have gone up again. "So, you will be forced to add more money. A bag of beans is now N120,000, whereas it was N70,000 before. People are going for anything cheap now. Many families are hungry.” Another foodstuffs seller at the Magboro Market in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area, Ogun State, Sukurat Akanni, complained that prices of many items had doubled. Another trader, Adeola Israel, noted that a bag of brown beans had increased to N62,000, while a paint rubber now costs N6,200. She lamented that she no longer made as much sales as she used to in the past. Govt concerned – A’Ibom The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, said that his administration had concluded plans to establish a bulk purchase agency to regulate prices of foodstuffs and bring them within the reach of the citizens. The governor announced this on Friday during the Nigerian Unity Conference 2024 tagged, ‘That We May be One’, organised by the 10th Episcopal District, Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, at the Ibom Hall, Uyo. He said that a bill to establish the agency would soon be sent to the state House of Assembly for legal backing to enable the agency to intervene and stem skyrocketing food prices in the state. Kwara gives palliatives The Kwara State Government delivered 10,000 bags of 10kg rice to labour unions for onward distribution to their members. This was disclosed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, on Friday, following an engagement with Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. In their separate remarks, the state chairmen of the Trade Union Congress, Joseph Meshach, and the Nigerian Labour Congress, Saheed Olayinka, commended the governor for his continuous efforts to provide relief to the people in the state. Anambra residents groan Residents of Anambra State are battling with the soaring costs of food items like rice, beans, garri, palm oil, tomatoes, onions, fruits, and others in the various markets across the state. One of our correspondents, who spoke to residents and marketers in Awka, the state capital, and Onitsha on Saturday, gathered that the high cost of items was attributed to the rise in the value of the dollar, just as the situation dampened the mood of the people and forced them to ration food. A visit to the Relief Market in Onitsha, and the Eke-Awka Market in Awka, showed that a 50kg bag of foreign rice was sold for N72,000 as against N51,000 a month ago. A full bag of iron beans was sold for N110,000 as against N89,000 a month ago. https://punchng.com/citizens-groan-as-rice-hits-n77000-per-bag/?amp

Politics / Tinubu's Supporters Attack Aisha Yesufu Online For Saying Nigeria H No President by Kuginzi: 8:43pm On Feb 04 |
Supporters of President Bola Tinubu and other tweeps have unleashed an attack on human rights activist and co-founder of the #BringBackOurGirls movement, Aisha Yesufu, for saying that Nigeria has no president and that there is no country anymore. SaharaReporters on Friday reported that Yesufu while featuring on a Channels TV programme, said that Nigeria remained only a carcass of a country where life is short and brutish. Yesufu said, “There is no country anymore. As we are today, Nigeria is gone. What we have is a carcass and life is short and British. We are all on edge and we are the victims who a lot of people refuse to see coming to us and unfortunately, we do not have a president. “We have someone who rigged himself into office, an illegitimate President and who doesn't care. Anyone who is ready to do anything - snatch it, run with it to get into office. “They don't care about the people. There is no empathy, that is what we are seeing today. Nigeria has gotten into a place where you are not even sure that you are going to see the next day because you might be a victim, you might be taken away, even from inside your own house. That is where Nigeria is now.” Also, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Yesufu said, “Nigeria does not have a President. That’s the grim reality.” Reacting to Yesufu’s post, a blogger and social media personality, Dr Olukemi Olunloyo, said that Nigeria has a president and that Yesufu’s post was being discussed at the Department of State Services (DSS). She asked Yesufu to focus on herself and her family to avoid becoming a political prisoner. Olunloyo, who asked Yesufu to leave Nigeria if she does not like the country anymore, wrote, “We actually have one. Aisha leave Nigeria if you don't like it anymore. They are discussing your tweets at the DSS now. Don't incite people. Focus on yourself and family. Don't be a ‘political prisoner’". But Yesufu, who quickly fired back, said, “Kemi @Kemiolunloyo it's been a long time you brought your nonsense to my TL. Welcome back. “Please tell your so-called DSS contacts that they can't do anything that kidnappers and terrorists are not already doing. Arrest me? I won't need to pay ransom. Kill me? I was born to die. Leave Nigeria? “The illegitimate President who forged his certificate and found to be part of drug dealing is the one that needs to leave Nigeria. "Very pathetic mindset you displayed telling me to face my family. Why don't you take that advice and face yours? By the way, my family is not made of cowards.” In another post, Yesufu said, “Imagine the very pathetic mindset that makes you tell someone to leave the country because they said Nigeria has no President. Is a certificate forger found involved in drug dealing who rigged his way to be declared President and has failed so woefully that Buhari is even said to be better in less than 7 months a President? “It is Tinubu that ran out of the country before that will run away again, not Aisha Yesufu. “Terrorists just killed a young lady awaiting her university final results and you think at 50 I am going to be afraid of death? Am I better than those abducted and killed by terrorists? “Na una dey fear Tinubu and DSS. I can't waste my fear like that.” She went further to say, “I rather be a political prisoner than a prisoner of certificate forgery or drug dealing. If Nigeria was a country with its act together, Tinubu should be in prison not Aso Villa masquerading as president. “@Kemiolunloyo should ask the DSS discussing my matter whether they have been paid their allowances.” Olunloyo, who replied Yesufu said, “Aisha Yesufu’s fans are abusing me well well. Anyone remember the tweet when myself and Omojuwa were the only ones monetizing tweets? Aisha’s fans are making me $18.75 daily on that tweet. This is why I always call Nigerians daft #SBNI Smart but not intelligent.” But Yesufu said, “SBNI describes you better than the people you describe. I am glad to help you increase your earnings to over a thousand dollars daily. You desperately need it. "Feel free to use my name to shore up your earnings. Anytime I don’t have anything more important to do, I will reply you.” Another X user, @TaxDoctorNG wrote, “I was thinking the president would have you picked up. Anyone that supports you, should join you in jail. Dash you the attention, you're dangerously seeking for free. Then I realized, you don't worth one second of the president's time.” But not giving up, Yesufu responded saying, “I will gladly go to the prison. Those in prisons are freer and more protected than you are. Make use of the oxygen you breathe and ask them to do so. At least, I will not be paying ransom.” Another X user, @jide_omiyale wrote, “You are going too fast than your shadow. All those praising you will never condemn the secret service when they arrest you. Keep it up, since na only one food you need, your family will keep supplying it but that exercise might not be allowed. Just keep berating the DSS.” But Yesufu said, “DSS also called SSS is the most useless of security agencies in Nigeria. They only have intelligence when there is a planned protest and nowhere to be found when it comes to terrorists and kidnappers. "I live in Abuja so they don't need too much to arrest me. I eat once a day and need small space for exercise. I won't be too much burden. If they decide to kill me, I have recently lost 20kg so my corpse will not be too heavy for them. Pathetic low grade intelligence agency.” She said in another post, “DSS aka SSS did nothing when terrorists threatened to come and arrest Buhari, a then sitting President. “The cowards only know how to brandish guns to protect politicians or come after unarmed protesters. “The terrorists with AK 47s in the forests terrorizing Nigerians they are afraid to face.” https://saharareporters.com/2024/02/04/tinubus-supporters-others-attack-activist-aisha-yesufu-online-saying-nigeria-has-no 3 Likes

Crime / We Still Need N8m For Ransom, Parents Of Abducted Ekiti Pupils Cry Out by Kuginzi: 7:47am On Feb 04 |
Group of School, Emure-Ekiti have appealed to Ekiti State Governments to come to their aid to rescue the victims. General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, rained the fire of God on the assassins of Ekiti traditional rulers on Friday night. The gunmen had on Monday ambushed a bus conveying the schoolchildren and staff of the school back to their homes at Eporo on the road and whisked nine among the occupants away, leaving the bus on the road. The kidnappers were said to have reached out to the families of the abducted pupils and demanded N100m ransom for each of the nine persons held captive in their den. The abductors, however, on Thursday reduced the ransom to N15m for all the abductees with a threat to kill the victims if the money was not paid on time. But, the embattled parents on Saturday while receiving representatives of the Ekiti State government expressed fears over the threat by the kidnappers that if they failed to pay the ransom on time they would kill their children. Mr. Adebisi Jegede, whose wife and 12-year-old son are in the kidnappers’ den said that the kidnappers had promised not to accept anything less than N15m as ransom. Jegede, who said that the parents could see the efforts of individuals, and communities said, “With help here and there, we have realized N7m, we begged the kidnappers to accept N7m, but they refused. We are still looking for a sum of N8 million for it to be completed so that we can rescue these people. “Whenever the kidnappers contact us on the phone, they will be hitting the people with them so that we can hear their cries and feel their pains and take the money to them on time. We need help because the kidnappers told us that they will not release our people if the money is less than N15m. "We want the government to please remedy this situation for the safety of our children and wives.” Mr. Oluwadare Oniya, father of the abducted nine-year-old girl, said,“We plead with the government to help us today so that these people can rejoin us today. There is a problem, let us focus first on how the children can be released, after that the government knows what can be done to arrest the perpetrators. My child there is nine years old, with that age, you can imagine the situation she will be in because when we talk with the abducted persons, they tell us that the kidnappers don’t give them food or water. It is going to be a week now. We have tried, but our best appeared not up to what the kidnappers want”. Also, Pastor Clement Adebisi, who was anxious over his wife, said, “We are appealing to the government to come to our aid so that we can rescue the kidnapped persons today (Saturday). We are getting worried about the condition of the children. "We plead with the government to come to our aid. We have offered all that we could raise, but they said it was not enough, and insisted on N15m. That is why we want the government to come to our aid so that they can be released today,” he said. Addressing the embattled parents and families, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Special Interest Groups, Princess Toyin Agbaje-Malomo assured the parents that their loved ones would soon be rescued to rejoin them. Agbaje-Malomo said, “You are not alone, we are together in it. The governor is assiduously working on it so that our r people in captivity will be rescued to rejoin families and loved ones. "The governor is with you, he feels your pains. He has asked me to assure you that based on ongoing efforts, all of them will be returned to you safely in no time. That is the assurance I am here to relay to you today,” she added. Adeboye: Fire of God will consume those attacking traditional rulers Pastor Enoch Adeboye declared that peace would elude anybody attempting to meddle with the nation’s monarchy. “The fire of God will consume all those trying to mess around with our traditional rulers,” the Pentecostal preacher declared during the church’s monthly Holy Ghost Service programme tagged: ‘From The Mountain Top 2’. “Because as far as God is concerned, traditional rulers are anointed,” Adeboye said. Two prominent monarchs in Ekiti, Oba David Ogunsola of Esun-Ekiti and Oba Olatunde Olusola of Imojo-Ekiti, were assassinated on Monday while returning from a meeting in Irele-Ekiti, Ekiti State. Some pupils and teachers were also abducted in the interconnected attacks. Security forces, including the police, have sent an armoured vehicle and a helicopter to Ekiti and promised to apprehend those responsible. Nigerians are still calling for prompt justice and a stop to the pandemic of kidnappings and killings in the nation. https://thenationonlineng.net/we-still-need-n8m-for-ransom-parents-of-abducted-ekiti-pupils-cry-out/

Politics / We’re Committed To Fixing Poverty, Unemployment – FG by Kuginzi: 7:51pm On Feb 03 |
Frank Ikpefan The Federal Government has said it was committed to taking immediate action to tackle poverty and unemployment. Here Are The Benefits Of Smart Beds. See Their Price Range. Smart Beds In Mexico | Search Ads | SponsoredHere Are The Benefits Of Smart Beds. See Their Price Range.Jubna Ads Choice Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha said this during a meeting with top officials of the ministry in Abuja. She urged the ministry’s leadership to adopt a private sector-driven approach, emphasising efficiency and productivity in fulfilling the ministry’s objectives. In a statement on Saturday by the Special Adviser (Media) to the Minister, Emameh Gabriel, she said there was a need for a result-oriented approach within the ministry akin to that found in the private sector. Onyejeocha said the shift was essential to fulfilling the proposed achievements outlined in President Bola Tinubu’s eight points agenda. She said: “We need concrete results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our programmes. Business as usual won’t cut it. We must work as people in the private sector; focused, accountable, and results-oriented. We are currently engaging development partners.” The minister emphasised the ministry’s crucial role in achieving the President’s agenda, aligning with six of its eight points. She said: “At the end of every week, I will like to have the report of every department. I have never been in the last position and I don’t want to find myself there. Everybody will fail when the Ministry of Labour cannot account for the people we took out of the street and employed. "The ministry is committed to taking immediate action to tackle poverty and unemployment. We will hold the Head of every department accountable for the achievements outlined in the president’s agenda. “Out of the eight Renewed Hope Agenda, Labour is concerned with six. We have a serious task to accomplish. So, we need to work hard on our template. I am passionate about reducing poverty in Nigeria, because our position is one that is directed to humanity. “Nigerians are tired of conferences, words alone are not enough. What we need now is result, and Nigerians need to see employment and empowerment. "I am no longer interested in teaching how to fish. I want to see the fish that have been harvested. Nigerians should see the fishes of those who were taught how to fish. Reduction of poverty in Nigeria is waiting for no date. So, all work against poverty and unemployment starts now.” https://thenationonlineng.net/were-committed-to-fixing-poverty-unemployment-fg/
