Honestly, may those borders remain closed! We want to move forward too. We want to grow our economy. We may face hardship but it will all become a history after a year or two.

PoliticsNigeria’s Border Closure Has Implications For Africa’s Economic Integration by ManirBK(op): 7:14pm On Oct 28, 2019
An assistant professor of Strategy and International Business at the University of Bath, United Kingdom, Tahiru Azaaviele Leidong, has said that recent moves by President Muhammadu Buhari to partially close Nigeria’s border with Benin in an effort to stem the smuggling of rice, raises serious concerns, SABC reports.
Leidong said even though closure of border is not new in Africa, Nigeria's actions raise important concerns about the seriousness and prospects of regional integration in Africa.
He said, “African countries have different economic configurations and strategic priorities.
“The huge number of diverse countries within the free trade area isn’t going to make things easy.
“Indeed, free trade has its benefits but it also has costs. Nigeria’s bid to protect a declining rice farming industry and save foreign exchange has led to protectionism that defies the principles of a free trade area.
“The African Union has been muted on the issue of the border closures. This might be because it does not yet have detailed institutional arrangements for settling disputes within the free trade area.
“Another factor might be that it has been quiet because Nigeria is involved.
“As Africa’s largest economy, the AU courted it earnestly to sign. The agreement needs Nigeria, arguably at whatever cost.
“The regional trade bloc ECOWAS has also failed to bring Nigeria to heel.
“Both Nigeria and Benin are members of the bloc, created in 1975. All it has done so far is to appeal for the borders to be opened. It clearly has no enforcement power.
“Nigeria’s border closure may be a precursor. More incidents like this can be expected as the realities of free trade kick in. Some countries will lose, others will gain.
“The AU needs protocols and measures to manage free trade, as well as programmes to prepare political leaders for the realities that will follow.
“The free trade area should not be a mere symbol. It must be fully understood and appreciated for it to succeed.
“The Nigeria border closure must be resolved as soon as possible.
“It is diverting attention and positive energy from matters that can promote the free trade area, such as investments in transport infrastructure, trade data capture and border protection.
“More importantly, it is a bad precedent that could reduce other countries’ commitments to economic integration in Africa. The AU must act now, or prepare to bury the free trade deal.”

PoliticsPolice Investigate Audio Clip Claiming Muslims Being Converted To Christians by ManirBK(op): 2:20pm On Oct 28, 2019
The Zamfara State Police Command says it has launched an investigation
into claims that some people are converting Muslims to Christians in
Zamfara State.
The command's spokesman, Mohammed Shehu, said in a statement on
Sunday, "The Zamfara State Police Command wishes to inform members of
the public that, following an audio clip being in circulation on
various social media platforms in which the audio maker who also
claimed to be a victim alleged the emergence of a group of men and
women whose activities was to stop people, greet them in a Muslim way
of greeting especially those who they perceived to be Muslims and then
introduce themselves as staff of a company and the products.
"Later, they will issue a leaflet containing their address to the
person and collect his phone number for them to remind the person of
the seminar on their business which they normally conduct for those
who join newly. The strategy according to the audio maker was to
convert the Muslims faithful into Christianity.
"On getting the audio clip, the police command under the leadership of
CP Usman Nagogo swung into action by commencing a discreet
investigation into the matter with a view to authenticate the audio
clip and take proactive/ appropriate action that will prevent the
unwarranted religious crises in the state."
He added, The investigation carried out so far by the police and other
security agencies including the undercover agency has not revealed
such happening in any part of Zamfara state.
"What the investigation gathered was the existence of a company branch
named NEOLIFE a global company that deals with food supplements. The
company has branches across the country with about one hundred members
in the state that cut across the religious lines with two training
centres located at Hayin Buba and along bypass road, Gusau.
"They normally go round as a marketing strategy to look for customers.
However, an investigation is in progress, the command calls on the
audio maker and any person or group who has facts or evidences to come
to the police command Headquarters so as to assist the police in the
investigation.http://saharareporters.com/2019/10/28/police-investigate-audio-clip-claiming-muslims-being-converted-christians-zamfara?

Business$50m Textile Coy To Be Established In Kano by ManirBK(op): 8:56am On Oct 28, 2019
An indigenous textile trading company based in Kano, Mudassir & Brothers has commenced processes to establish a textile manufacturing company worth over $50 million in Kano.
At a media briefing at the weekend, the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the company, Alhaji Mudassir Idris Abubakar, said the decision of the company to expand is to complement President Buhari’s policy of encouraging local production of qualitative goods with a view to creating wealth and job opportunities for the nation’s youths.

He said Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has already approved the allocation of 22.5 hectares of land for the establishment of the company which will provide over 10,000 jobs for Nigerians.

“I would like to thank Mr President for his unwavering resolve to boost the economy through encouraging local production of goods. I would also like to thank Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for his commitment towards ensuring that Kano takes its former position of the best textile manufacturing state,’’ he said.
He noted that textile manufacturing is a capital intensive project, especially with the competition from China, and called on the federal government to fulfil its promise of supporting local manufacturers.
The chairman also called on the Central Bank of Nigeria to reconsider its position of freezing the company.https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/50m-textile-coy-to-be-established-in-kano.html?

HealthKano Man Found Alive After ‘drowning’ 30 Years Ago by ManirBK(op): 10:00pm On Oct 27, 2019
A Kano man, Aminu Baita, who was declared dead he he allegedly drown in a river in 1990 has been found and reunited with his family at the weekend.

A family source, Yakubu Musa, said Mr Baita, who is a trained nurse, suffered mental illness before his disappearance from his last known address in Dambatta, about 70km from Kano city.

“Aminu “resurrected” few weeks ago. To put it differently, my cousin is now back from dead,” Mr Musa said.

“Aminu was a brilliant trained nurse, working with ministry of health in Kano State in the 80s. He was happily married when hesuddenly started showing some abnormal behaviours.

“He lost his job and marriage as well—this is despite efforts to seek medical help for him.
“Aminu later found himself at a correctional facility in Danbatta.

“We were told that Aminu sneaked out of the facility and took a dive into in a river, and was never found. As Muslims, we accepted the story and prayed for the repose of his soul.

“Then comes another twist. One of my elder siblings, Nasidi Musa recently went to Toro local government in Bauchi State for a different mission, thus search for his missing brother in-law, who was said to have been last seen there.
“He didn’t find the missing brother in-law there. He, instead, found his “dead” cousin, Aminu.
“Nasidi brought with him story of the pleasant surprise. And as I say this, Aminu is at a Kazaure psychiatric hospital, after a delegation of the family brought him back from Toro.
“The interesting part is that he’s not forgotten his parents and uncles including my dad. Throughout the journey back, he was asking about them.

“Yet, the community where Aminu lived for over 30 years were not happy that we took him away from them. From what we gathered Aminu had felt at home throughout the period of his “demise”.”

PoliticsWhy We’re Against Nigerian Govt’s IPPIS, By ASUU by ManirBK(op): 8:04pm On Oct 25, 2019
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has given reasons why it rejected the plan by the Federal Government to enrol university workers into IPPIS, saying it violated university autonomy.
The ASUU Coordinator in Lagos zone, Prof. Olusiji Sowande, who stated this at a press conference held at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, FUNAAB, on Thursday, said that the policy was not acceptable to the union.
Mr Sowande noted that it was important for the Federal Government to consider the peculiarities of the universities and their enabling laws before such decisions could be made.
He added that universities operated differently from the civil service and should, therefore, not be seen as appendages of ministries, departments and agencies of government.
“In addition to the Act establishing each university, there is the Universities Miscellaneous Provisions (Amendment) Act, 2003.
“The Act states in Section 2(A) that the power of the council shall be exercised as in the laws and statutes of each university and to that extent, the establishment circulars that are inconsistent with the laws and statutes of the university shall not apply to the university.
“IPPIS will not recognise nor adequately capture the flexibility and peculiarities of the university system in terms of replacement/recruitment of staff,” he said.
Mr Sowande explained that ASUU believed that President Muhammadu Buhari would not violate his oath of office, but would rather abide by the constitution and the law of the land.
He added that the union was not opposed to accountability and transparency in handling public funds.https://dailynigerian.com/why-were-against-nigerian-govts-ippis-by-ASUU/?

PoliticsBuhari Voices Delight At World Bank Ease Of Doing Business Ranking by ManirBK(op): 6:04pm On Oct 24, 2019
President Muhammadu Buhari has voiced happiness over the World Bank’s 2020 Doing Business Index(DBI) which ranked Nigeria 131 out of 190 countries, up 15 places from 146th position last year.
The report, which was released on Thursday, also named Nigeria one of the top 10 most improved economies in the world for the second time in three years.

President Buhari, who welcomed the announcement in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina, said the movement of 15 places to 131 as well as the recognition being given to Nigeria as one of the top 10 most improved countries that had implemented the most reforms this year was significant.

The president said the recognition was important because the country had not even been able to achieve some of the key reforms it had pursued so far.
He said the validation confirmed that “our strategy is working”, adding that “we will continue to push even harder to deliver more impactful reforms.”
The president said “the announcement by the World Bank indicates that our mandate to move into the top 70 doing business destinations by 2023 remains achievable” with the impending ratification of the Companies and Allied Matters Bill and the introduction of the Business Facilitation (Omnibus) Bill, 2019 in view, along with other pending and ongoing regulatory, judicial and sub-national reforms.
Nigeria is one of only two African countries to make this highly prestigious list.
With this year’s leap, Nigeria has improved an aggregate of 39 places in the World Bank Doing Business index since 2016.https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/buhari-voices-delight-at-world-bank-ease-of-doing-business-ranking.html?

you don't teach people on anti- corruption & expect corruption to stop rather you create systems/laws and authorities that automatically eliminate compromise, corrupt tendencies & eschew justice. Nigeria are corrupt today majorly because the system had made it so.majority of we the youths grew up in societies where families use corruption to survive, we grew to percieve the police & Nepa as corrupt, alot of youths today grew through the ranks via exam malpractice which has been modified, standardized & even most is aided by parents and everyone now sees it as normal all this are system failures & until deliberate efforts are made to creates systems that can fight corruption in terms of technology, justice, good governance & insecurity no teaching on anti-corruption that will work, what is the difference between one studying accounting in school and he or she will still come to the government & misapproprate funds ? what is the difference between a lawyer who knows the truth of law but still lies?
