9jatriot: Sell those refineries abeg, they will never work no matter how much you pump inside it. Some people feed fat on it not working and nothing you can do to stop it but to just sell. I propose this formula in the sales:
General Public (through shares) 20% State Government (Host) 20% Private investor (Operator) 40% Local Community where the refinery is located 5% FG 15%
With the private investor not having up to 100%, they will not be able to do asset stripping like global infrastructure did at ajaokuta steel

Dotng: Opposition mounts as Nigeria nears rice sufficiency
•EUROPEAN NATIONS KICK •3 MILLION TONS OF RICE READY FOR HARVESTING •CBN SPENDS N23BN TO IMPROVE LOCAL RICE, SOYA BEAN PRODUCTION November 2, 2016 Sanya Adejokun- Abuja
With clear indications that Nigeria may finally be on the way to meeting its rice consumption needs, some foreign countries are already displaying dissatisfaction and mounting opposition.
This is as farmers across 13 states are starting near the end of wet season rice production with the help of N23 billion loans provided by the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Anchor Borrowers’ Programme.
A few weeks ago, the Ambassador of a European nation led a delegation to the office of CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, complaining that Nigerians had been importing stock fish from his country long before independence.
According to our sources, he lamented the decision of CBN to exclude the commodity from those that were eligible for importation with foreign exchange sourced from official window.
Emefiele bluntly informed his guest that while his country had over $1 trillion in its foreign reserve, Nigeria as at then had just about $25 billion and challenged the Ambassador to arrange for business people from his country to come to Nigeria and develop the wide coastal line from Lagos to Calabar.
Also, the European Union has placed a ban on importation of beans from Nigeria on the pretext that it contained “too much chemical.”
Former Deputy Governor of CBN, Dr. Obadaih Mailafia told Nigerian Tribune that the move was a direct consequence of action of CBN and Federal Government to attain self-sufficiency in food production and curtail unnecessary imports.
During an inspection of wet season rice harvest in some local government areas of Kebbi State on Sunday and Monday this week, Emefiele gave the assurance that Nigeria would soon exit importation of rice.
According to him, farmers in Kebbi State alone have produced one million tonnes of rice currently being harvested aside the 1.2 million from Kano and the 800,000 tonnes already harvested in Niger State.
Emefiele disclosed that N23 billion has been spent so far in promoting local farming and production of rice, soya bean, sugar and other important produce.
The CBN team visited Wasagu, Argungu, Birnin Kebbi and some other locations to inspect harvest and kick off dry season farming.
He added that Kebbi, Niger, Anambra, Calabar and other rice producing states would feed the nation and ensure availability of foods items in Nigeria.
He explained further that the progamme which is going to be a continuous exercise will boost economic activities of the country and diversify the nation economy.
“Our team has visited Niger, Eboyin, Ogun states and now we are in Kebbi State where the programme started” he added.
He then urge the media men to investigate the farmer in other to know where their challenges are and make the correction for the future occurrence.
Emefiele said that the bank wants to be part of the scheme so that more farmers can benefit from the project in Kebbi as well as other states where Soya bean can be grown successfully.
He said that this is in line with the bank’s ambition of making Nigeria food sufficient and simultaneously preserving the nation’s foreign reserve.
Annual consumption of rice in Nigeria is put at over 6 million metric tonnes per annum. Local production is about 2.8 million metric tonnes.
Sugar importation is put at 1.7 million tonnes. All in all the Central Bank of Nigeria estimates that a whopping 11 billion dollars (N3.1 trillion) is spent annually to import wheat, rice, sugar and fish.
“We currently spend so much money importing products that with the right nudge, we can become self-sufficient in.
“We spend billions importing vegetable oil into the country. You are aware that CBN don’t give foreign exchange anymore to people importing palm oil, vegetable oil into the country.
“We expect oil palm to be produced in Nigeria, soya bean should be turned into vegetable oil that we can consume in this country.
“We also have rice, wheat, palm oil, cassava, sugar, fish and several commodities. With the CBN anchor borrowers programme, we are on the path to food sufficiency.
“Those particular commodities we have been spending so much money on importing we want to make sure that we are able to produce this in Nigeria.
“We have the potential, we have the land, human resource and scientist that can give us the quality seeds so why should we be importing any of those things,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Governor of Kebbi state, Col. Samaila Yombe (rtd) said with the CBN intervention, farming in the state will become more mechanised.
“By tomorrow, thanks to the CBN, threshers will be bought for the farmers and wastes during harvest will be curtailed.
“Before now, farmers in the state do not have enough seeds and fertilizer, but with the parties involve, each farmer gets improved seedlings along with enough fertilizers.
“With better equipments, when you come back here for the next farming season, you will see a more advanced farming technology being used,” he said.
Also, the Director, Development Finance, CBN, Dr Mudashiru Olaitan said 73,075 farmers were benefiting from the CBN Anchor Borrowers Programme in Kebbi state alone.
He said that rice farming under the programme was going on in all 21 local government areas of the state with an estimated yield of 1.2 million metric tonnes per harvest.
He said that per hectare, the estimated yield was six to eight tonnes. He said the farmers have been linked with buyers at an agreed sum of N6,600 per bag of unprocessed rice.
In his response, the Kebbi State Governor, Senator Atiku Abubakar Bagudu thank the visit assured them that kebbi would achieved is target.
“We are going to visit Zuru where they would producing share butter and other farm crops as kebbi state is blessed with farming corp and irrigation” he added.
He further pointed out that the anchor Borrowers progamme as reduce the level of unemployment and crime in the state, appeal to the Mr. President that the progamme should be continues one.
He was also in Kebbi state to flag off the beginning of Dry Season farming in the state.
The Soyabean project is a partnership between Kebbi state government and International Capital Market Group (ICMG) commodity in Lagos.
The agreement is for ICMG to provide 12kilogram of improved seedlings and two bags of fertilizers to small farmers and 50 kg of seedlings and 10 bags of fertilizers to large farmers.
The 5,000 farmers working on the project were also given N170,000 per hectare to take care of running cost.
At the end of the planting season, each hectare is estimated to produce 25 bags and out of that, four bags will be collected as repayment for the seedlings, fertilizers and money provided.
Thanks to CBN and FG. But for now, this is just media show for now either to fool us or for real, i pray and hope this is positive and until proven by actions that all Nigerians home and abroad can have the feeling of surplus with drastic price reduction aginst foreign imports to vanish completely and forever on Nigeria soil.
sekundosekundo: If it's in Nigeria, they will blame the opposition party for the earthquake and afterwards the road will be abandoned b'cos it leads to South East.
ChetaNwaeze: Ojukwu could not equip his army properly, he could not feed his civilians adeqauately yet he was boasting before the commencement of hostilities that he had the largest army in black Africa and that the other side(Nigeria) would be shocked as to what they would get from him.
Ojukwu, the initiator of the Biafra civil war, who once boasted that he would fight till the last drop of his blood, eventually ran away to Abidjan after commandeering a plane that was meant to airlift sick Biafran children.
Alhaji Shehu Shagari later granted Ojukwu amnesty in 1982. In 1983, Ojukwu contested in the Senatorial election, he also contested in the 2003 and 2007 Presidential elections and lost woefully on all occasions. It is highly prepostrous that a man who fought against Nigeria later came back to Nigeria and participated at various elections in the same country he fought against
which simply means. he fought for his belly or pocket selfishly from inception till his death.
This does not mean all Igbos are dubious, am a yoruba man. Awolowo too and others have their hidden agendas to deceive the people then with much knowledge, wisdom.
ikorodureporta: Bello Mahmud, registrar-general of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), on thursday said the commission had taken steps to eliminate bottlenecks associated with registering a business.
Speaking at the second presidential economic communication workshop in Abuja, Mahmud said this with a view to creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive. He also revealed that the cost of registering a business had been reduced by 50%.
''We have reduced the cost of registering a business by 50%. You don't need a lawyer to register your business for you anymore. You can now do it yourself. The process is easy now,'' he said ''you can now register your business anywhere at our offices in Lagos, Kano, and Enugu''.......
simply side track lawyers because of their recent testimony which simply means almost all lawyers are dubious in their profession. Their image don spoil for Nigeria soil.
more importantly, this CAC head said and i quote the Business registration had reduced by 50%, he need to spit out the official Government approved cost.
Let there be transparency in all Government agency.
PearlStreet: While most Nigerians wish to buy houses or apartments in Nigeria, it is unfortunate that they do not know the things they can do to protect themselves and their investments from fraudulent sellers as there is inadequate information on this. The glossy fliers and captivating advertising make a lot of buyers susceptible to the antics of these property sellers. They forget that the seller is only after their money and that very pleasant and persuasive real estate agent is after his commission.
Here are a few points every buyer must consider before paying for that house in Nigeria.
Get a property lawyer to conduct due-diligence and guide you on the transaction. This is important as your property lawyer acts as an interface between you and the seller. He ensures you are not shortchanged or your rights as a buyer infringed on. Also, he interprets legal documents and points out clauses in these documents which may be unfavorable to you. Request for all title documents over the land the building is on. Another step is for the seller of such property to provide copies of title documents over the land the building is built on. The type of title document possesed by the seller determines whether he has the legal right to sell or not. Also, it determines the quality of title the buyer gets from the seller.Furthermore, the title possessed by the seller determines the type of documents to be signed by both parties. Get your land surveyor to obtain the coordinates of the land and chart it. It is very important for the buyer to contact his land surveyor to pick the beacon numbers of the land to determine if it falls under government acquisition or not. Also, the surveyor measures the size of the land to determine if the size is up to the advertised size. Investigate the title of the land. After obtaining copies or information of title documents held by the seller of the property, the next step is to investigate if the title exists or not and if there are any encumbrances on the title. The title investigation can take place in Lands Bureau of the State where the property is located, the Federal lands Registry or relevant government agencies. However, if the seller doesn't have government title over the property, your lawyers can contact the original owners of the land to confirm if they indeed sold to the seller who in turn wants to sell to you. Have your property lawyer read through the Conveyance documents to point out unfavorable clauses. This point is very important and most of the cases of real estate litigation stem from failure of the buyers to get expert legal counsel when buying. In fact, a lot of buyers of property in Nigeria have been sold leases instead of total assignments and the danger of this is that very soon, the property would revert back to the sellers while the buyers would be left high and dry without money or property. Ideally, the buyer's lawyer drafts the documents to be executed between both parties but some estate developers insist that their lawyers draft the documents. In cases like this, the seller's lawyer must thoroughly inspect the documents to ensure that ridiculous and fraudulent covenants are not inserted. Get a structural engineer to ascertain the building's quality and point out defects. Mere looking at an existing building, the seller may not be in a position to determine if it is structurally sound or not. However, a structural engineer would accurately inform the buyer of structural defects on the building. This is very important as it saves the buyer from disaster. Demand for copies of the Approved Building plan, Architectural drawing and Survey plan. If there is a building on that land, then it must have an approved building plan. If it doesn't have it, you are buying a house that would be demolished someday. Also, the buyer must request for copies of the approved architectural plan as well as registered survey plan. Request for evidence of payment of outstanding rates and taxes on the property. The seller must prove that he isn't owing the government or any of its agencies taxes, rates and fees of any kind. One way of ascertaining this is to ensure that the seller shows receipts, tellers, tax certificates or such other evidence of payment as applicable. If the buyer buys a property with outstanding taxes owed the government, such buyer would never be able to perfect his title documents with the government unit he has paid all outstanding sums that the seller owes. Speak to other neighbours living in or around the property. From experience, some of the most helpful information comes from those who live on the building or around it as they possess information which the seller might have been withholding. Every buyer needs to speak to at least one person living near the property such buyer intends to buy. All payments made should be duly documented and receipts issued. Payments for property should be made in such form that it is traceable to the seller. Cash transfers into accounts bearing the name of the seller or bank drafts in the seller's name are advised. This is because it makes it very difficult for the seller to deny receipt of payment when official bank documents of payment are in his name.

falcon01: Reports have it that a recent United Nations document condemned teaching kids about God saying it’s a violation of their human rights. The UN Committee report on the rights of children indicated that such things like taking your child to church and schools where they’re forced to partake in Christian meetings is violating their human rights. The document likened teaching kids Christianity to child labor. As learnt, it was complied by a group of ‘independent experts of high moral character’. Group members representing various countries demanded of the world to rise against laws enforcing daily acts of Christian worship at schools. To them, such and similar religious enforcement, are capable of hampering on a child’s freedom of thought, conscience and religion. Although the report was specifically meant to highlight possible ways Britain is violating the UN’s charter on the Rights of the Child, it made inferences to the world at large. An excerpt from the document said: “the Committee is concerned that pupils are required by law to take part in a daily religious worship. Which is, wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character in publicly funded schools in England and Wales. And, that children do not have the right to withdraw from such worship without parental permission before entering the sixth form.” With the above, the Committee recommended that “the State party repeal legal provisions for compulsory attendance at collective worship in publicly funded schools and ensure that children can independently exercise the right to withdraw from religious worship at school.” Already, parents can withdraw their children from collective worship in Britain. The Committee however, wants to hand the kids the right to take decision in this regard themselves. Many have lashed the report asking the compilers to honorably trash it. For instance, Parliament Minister David Burrowes said: “the collective act of worship is not an indoctrination exercise. It is recognizing and respecting the Christian heritage of the country and giving people an opportunity to reflect before the beginning of the day.” Among other things, the document demanded of the British government to crush domestic abuse and protect kids from being spanked by their parents.

IGOSABIdotCOM: Hello healthy people, please what do I have on my skin? My mum says it's measles, but I'm thinking it's heat rash after I checked the symptoms of measles and images and they don't seem to look like what's really on me.
The spots look tiny and numerous like heat and they are sort of pinky. It's also itchy, I feel like taking a tough sponge and shove it round my body. Its in my chest, back and arm.
Confession: For the past 4days I've been wearing this long warmer abi na rain coat, it has net on the inside and I wore it day and night (even while sleeping, and after bathing during the day). So I'm thinking that's what caused it.
What will you say it is? And please what medication would you recommend? Homemade suggestions or drugs/creams will be appreciated.
P.S no insults, this is not my account.
Kindly ignore all what they are saying.
It affects all human being once in a life time.
Naturally, it will go. But i advise you to reach out to a Pharmacist to prescribe the right drug.
Apply Palm Oil to make it relief you even while you sleep.
Toks2008: I keep reiterating that until the yuan is also introduced, we may see a further appreciation of the dollar against the naira.
Majority of people who buy dollars are importers from Japan and China so if the yuan is integrated, the demand on dollar will drastically reduced thereby forcing a sharp appreciation of the naira.
Remii: I guess it should be tabulated in newspapers and available on cbn websites just like their interest rates
@ remii..you are the only one that just hit the nail @ d right spot. All Nigerians have to confirm that CBN has done the right thing faithfully or transparency in all FX transactions by daily posting via every media channels available.
I wish to know you. I believe this move should affect Mastercard and Visa Card holders denominated in Naira for foreign transaction via online and ATM @ dia said commercial bank rates.
Am confused about one thing, Will all commercial banks have a unitary rate or different rate ?
What is going to be the General Online Platform or website of Operation for this Government / CBN / Interbank / Approve Dealers to End user and Coys Rate initiative ?
Pls. beware of some fish buyer's tricks to rip you off you hard earned money and profit. There was this friend of mine who wanted to sell his grow-out fishes and some people from Ibadan came to Lagos to buy They were using their sack to pack the fishes and weighing it in plastic container. In a very big pond, they claimed to have weighed 305kg my friend was very furious that he stocked more than 1000 fishes and most of them is 0.6kg to 1kg that something must have gone wrong when i got there, i offered to bring another scale so that we can weigh it again and we will all confirm. To my greatest surprise, before i return from where i went to bring the scale (within 20 mins), they have gone with their bus, only for us to later realise that they have gone with some fishes as a result of the misunderstanding that ensued later. After we re-weighed the remaining fishes, we got 511kg. Mind you, there were 2 people monitoring the scale initially and it is only weighed fishes that is taken to their bus. If they had no skeleton in their cupboard, they should have waited for us to re-weigh since they came from a long distance Fellow farmers, we should be very careful with these buyers, they can also be diabolic sometimes and tricky.
NOTE: * Do not allow anyone to harvest your fish with their sack * Have good idea of what you have in your pond before you start selling * Use a container that you have good idea of what the quantity and weight should be * Be prayerful, careful, watchful and smart. * Do not allow any buyer/anyone use powder or do unwarranted makeup or do anything funny in your farm * Ensure that you have enough people on farm if you are selling large quantity * Attend to 1 buyer at a time * Don't let the buyers rush you or put you under pressure

ayosco2008: So I had my IT placement at ministry of energy in kwara state and all I can say is that I was so amazed at the attitude of the guys working at the ministry..
On my first day of resuming to work I was dere as early as 8am to my greatest surprise all offices were still closed.. I had to wait till around 10 before I could see the first worker coming in.. I later got to find out that was the normal time they come to work.. The interesting part is most of them come to work and all they do is talk and when is 2pm u see dem going home already... I kept asking myself that is this how lovely it is to work for the government?? But I got to find out that this guys add nothing to the value of the state and these same people will complain if their salary is delayed without adding any value to their place of work!!
Fast forward two years from that time I'm now a Corp member posted to Lagos and having my ppa at ministry of works in alausa ikeja.. Well the working condition here is a bit interesting. At least they come early to work... But one thing is still common to this civil servants.. "" Their attitude towards work"" We used 3 weeks to complete a registration we could have done just in 2 days!!
This attitude shown towards work by civil servants are one of the main reason why Nigeria is still so backward and under developed(my opinion though)
What do you guys think??
Same experience. You did a very good and patriotic observation and to spit it out as well.
waldigit: For sometimes now we have been busy on site with this relatively not common building materials.
