PoliticsRestructuring Will Boost Nigeria’s Economy, End Insecurity – Obi by Mecka(op): 6:33pm On May 26, 2021
“Restructuring the country will bring out the
comparative advantage of every state and our natural resources that are lying waste will be fully
harnessed.”

By Agency Report

A former vice presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party in 2019, Peter Obi, has said that
political restructuring of Nigeria will boost the
nation’s economy and end insecurity.

Mr Obi said this on Tuesday at the fourth Adada
Public Lecture organised by the Association of
Nsukka Professors (ANP) at the University of
Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).

He said with restructuring, governors would look
inward to make their states productive, while state,
local and community police would be set up to
tackle criminality within their areas.

“It is unfortunate that some governors believe in
going to Abuja monthly to get federal allocation
from proceeds of oil.

“They have forgotten the price of oil in the
international market has depreciated and will
continue to depreciate.

“No developed country in the world depends on
crude oil but they invest in their children, agriculture
and encourage small and medium enterprises by
giving out soft loans and other incentives.

“There is urgent need to restructure the country for
the economy to grow to a desired level,” said Mr
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State.

He advised Nigerians to stop misleading others that
restructuring is a deliberate plan to divide the
country.

“Rather, it should be seen as a move to build the
ailing economy and restore adequate security in the
country,” he said.

Mr Obi further said that restructuring would also
help to ensure adequate funding of primary and
post-primary schools as well as higher institutions.

“We should invest in our children’s education, which
is greater than any price of crude oil in the
international market.

“Restructuring the country will bring out the
comparative advantage of every state and our
natural resources that are lying waste will be fully
harnessed to boost the state economy,” he said.

He said restructuring would also enable states to
make robust investment in agriculture, achieve food
security and create more employment opportunities.

“In the 1960s and 1970s, agriculture was the major
foreign exchange earner for the country.

“In the North, we had groundnut pyramids, in the
West we had cocoa and the East had palm oil and
Nigeria was among the best economies in the
world.

“Today, the Netherlands as a country uses its
exports from agricultural products and flowers to
get billions of dollars in foreign exchange to sustain
its economy,” he said.

Mr Obi thanked ANP for finding him worthy to
deliver the lecture with the topic, “Restructuring,
Security Challenges and Development”.

He urged professors and lecturers in the country to
use their wealth of knowledge to convince Nigerians
on the urgent need to restructure the country.

In his remark, Chinyeaka Ohaa, the chairman of the
occasion, described the lecture topic as timely and
“could not have come at a better time than now the
country is going through serious security
challenges.”

“The topic of the lecture is not only apt but offers
(an) opportunity to speak directly on problems of
insecurity, weak economic base, fragile democracy,
dependence on oil, corruption and unemployment,
among others.

“I commend ANP for organising this lecture and
urge it to explore all areas of life necessary for
growth and development of the country,” Mr Ohaa
said.

Charles Igwe, the vice chancellor of UNN, thanked
the ANP for organising the lecture.

“What ANP has done today is laudable because, as
professors, the society is looking up to you all to
provide ideas that will solve their problems.

“I commend you all for choosing UNN as venue for
the occasion and bringing Nigeria’s finest astute
businessman and technocrat in the person of Obi
as the guest lecturer,” he said.

Earlier, the President of the association, Osy
Okanya, a professor, said the group provides the
platform for an intellectual discourse on various
contextual issues that challenge society and the
economy.

“In consonance with the mandate and strategic
focus of ANP, the fourth Adada lecture topic has
been carefully chosen and could not have been
more apt, given the heightened fragility of the
country.

“The lecture today offers a profound opportunity for
Nigerians of all hues as it is being delivered by a
Nigerian, who has seen Nigeria inside-out and has
always provided the best prescriptions on all
national issues,” Mr Okanya said.

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, Chuka
Utazi, a senator representing Enugu North District,
and Cosmas Ugwueze, the chairman of Nsukka
Local Government Area, were among the dignitaries
at the lecture.

PoliticsNigerian Army Raids Boko Haram’s Logistics Warehouse In Yobe by Mecka(op): 5:40pm On May 26, 2021
By Joe Hemba
Nigerian troops on Tuesday seized 62 jerrycans of petrol and
three vehicles during a raid on a Boko Haram logistics supply base in Kukareta in Yobe State.

The army’s spokesperson, Mohammed Yerima, said
the operation was carried out with the help of local
vigilantes following a tip off that some members of
the community were supplying fuel to Boko Haram.

Kukareta town is located about 21 kilometres from
Damaturu, the state capital, on the Maiduguri/
Damaturu highway. It was the largest self-
established IDP camp in the state with more than
40,000 households before it was closed down in
2018.

The statement reads in full:

“Troops of Operation Hadin Kai on Tuesday, May
25, 2021, raided a suspected Boko Haram logistics
stockpile in Kurkareta town, Yobe State.
“Items recovered during the raid operations by
troops in conjunction with local vigilantes include 62
jerrycans loaded with Premium Motor Spirit
popularly called petrol, hidden in different houses
and shops. Three vehicles belonging to the terrorists’
suppliers with registration numbers DAL 626 YE
(Kano), GBK 413 GR (Benue) and XA 390 SHN
(Borno) were also impounded.

“The successful raid was undertaken following
credible intelligence that some members of the
community are suppliers of fuel and other products
to insurgents.

“All the recovered items and the suspects are in our
custody for preliminary investigations before
handing them over to the appropriate agency for
prosecution,” the statement highlighted.

“The NA remains determined to sustain their
offensive operations in the area and assures the
public that the Army leadership is committed to
achieving the overall objective of keeping the North
East and the entire country free of terrorism,
banditry and other violent crimes,” the statement
revealed.

PoliticsOrtom To Buhari: Count Benue Out Of Grazing Reserves Plan by Mecka(op): 9:25am On May 26, 2021
The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has kicked against the plan of the federal government to begin rehabilitation of grazing reserves in the country next month.

“We find the move not only shocking and curious but also as a misplaced priority,” the governor said through his spokesperson, Terver Akase.

Mr Akase stated that at a time the country is worried about the worsening security situation, the federal government considers the reopening of cattle grazing routes as the only solution available to it.

“It is now clear that there is a hidden agenda which only the Presidency knows. Otherwise, all the regions of the country have accepted the fact that open grazing of animals is no longer fashionable and should be banned to pave way for ranching, yet, the government at the centre is insistent that grazing reserves/cattle routes must be created across the country.

“On February 9, this year, the Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) met and agreed that the current system of herding mainly by open grazing is no longer sustainable, in view of growing urbanisation and (the) population of the country. The Forum consequently resolved to sensitise herders on the need to adopt ranching as the new method of animal husbandry.”

“The 17 Governors of Southern Nigeria rose from their meeting in Asaba on May 11 also this year, with a ban on open grazing in the entire region. The Southern Governors equally adopted ranching as the alternative method of rearing animals.”

The Benue governor said the Presidency is the only one supporting the continuation of open grazing and the return of cattle routes of the 1950s and 60s.

“The Presidency has, by its endorsement of open grazing, emboldened armed herders who lay claim to all lands in Nigeria as belonging to Fulani, hence their invasion of farming communities and killing of original owners of such lands.”

Speaking on the feasibility of the project, Mr Ortom noted that routes that used to be for grazing in the past have been taken over by airports, roads, schools, hospitals, amongst others.

He then suggested ranching, stating that the state will not be part of the federal government’s plan.

“The country’s land mass has also reduced to less than 923 square kilometers with the excision of Bakassi to Cameroon. Besides, the international best practice of animal husbandry is ranching; and that’s the stand of Benue State.

“We in Benue have embraced ranching as the viable alternative to open grazing and there is no going back on our resolve. Our ranching law, which prohibits open grazing, is Benue people’s reaction to the incessant killings, and it is also an instrument of development.


“The law was enacted by representatives of the people in the Benue State House of Assembly, in exercise of its powers as provided for by Section 4 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended). Part 2 of the Second Schedule reinforces the power of the State House of the Assembly providing that “a House of Assembly may make laws for the State with respect to industrial, commercial or agricultural development.

“While we may not stop the Federal Government’s plan to rehabilitate grazing reserves or create cattle routes in other states, we wish to make it clear that no land in Benue State has been gazetted for grazing routes, grazing reserves, cattle colonies and Ruga settlements. Benue is therefore not part of the grazing reserves rehabilitation programme of the Federal Government.”

Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, on Monday, announced Mr Buhari’s approval of the rehabilitation of grazing reserves, stating that it will commence in June.

The move is aimed at curbing the bloody clashes between herders and farmers across the country.

The president also questioned the legality of the recent ban on open grazing in the southern region of the nation, saying that his administration is working on other alternatives to bring peace between farmers and herders.

Car TalkNigerian Car Owners Share Sad Experiences With Mechanics by Mecka(op): 8:11am On May 26, 2021
"The part that kills me with Lagos mechanics is the fuel. If I
had a full tank sef, the car will always always come back
empty."

By Kabir Yusuf

Nigerian car owners, on Twitter, shared bitter experiences they
had with mechanics in several parts of the country,
The car maintenance business is largely informal in Nigeria
with many mechanic workshops being individual standalone
businesses.

However, the Nigerians that shared their experiences,
suggested that while the mechanics may not be working in
groups, they share similar traits in cheating or defrauding car
owners.

“I gave mechanic my car to fix the A/C, nigga went to drop
my car as a collateral for his debt,” a Tweeter user, Emmy
Walker wrote. “How do you drop an ES350 for a 1.5m debt,”
he said.

“The man who collected the car as collateral completely
refused to release the car. He has chosen violence and was
even threatening,” he said

“The part that kills me with Lagos mechanics is the fuel. If I
had a full tank sef, the car will always always come back
empty,” said Ms Jinaidu recalling her experience with a Lagos
mechanic.

“I started leaving the bare minimum petrol in my car before
they pick up the car and the mechanic actually had the gut to
complain,” she added.

Ayoola Abiola said: “What of Mechanics that remove the
catalytic converters from cars that are brought to them for
general checkup? Most mechanics are into this practice and
unsuspecting car owners will notice a change in the exhaust
sound but can’t figure out what’s wrong.”

Iyke Kolie tweeted: “I gave an AC guy my car to fix the AC…
He decided to change the entire sensor on the dashboard. It
turned out he used it to settle another guy whose sensor I
suspected he may have damage.”

“An electrician sold my brother’s car and disappeared,”
another user said. “It was the buyer that was disturbing the
electrician for the car docs that saw an old photocopy of NDL
in the car and called the no, that was when my brother knew
that his car had been sold, though he has since recovered it,”
he recalled.

A user who identified himself as Oladipo said he “Gave
mechanic the ECU of a car to help check for a replacement &
gave him 35k for the same,”

According to him, the mechanic later suggested that the issue
with the car may not be the ECU, that other diagnoses be
made.

“Ok, return the money; it took 3 weeks for him to transfer,” he
said. “Return ECU; stopped taking my calls.”

Jamike Toch tweeted, “…one dark skinned mechanic boy
called Sunday at Awoyaya , told me my catalyst is bad, that
he would remove it and work on it.”

“I didn’t know he was lying until I told him to bring the bad
catalyst after removing them. He and the supposed catalyst
disappeared. Fear Sunday mechanics,” he said.

PoliticsLG Poll: Party Members Beat Up APC Chairperson In Jigawa by Mecka(op): 6:21pm On May 25, 2021
The 70-year-old party chairman was reportedly
hospitalised following the incident

By Abubakar Ahmadu Maishanu

The All Progressive Congress (APC) chairman in
Dutse Local Government Area of Jigawa State,
Yakubu Ibrahim, was on Monday beaten up by
aggrieved members of his party.

The development followed an announcement by
Governor Muhammad Badaru of the names of
party’s candidates for the local council elections in
the state scheduled for June 26.

According to a statement by the governor’s
spokesperson, Auwal Sankara, Bala Chamo was
picked as the chairmanship candidate of the party
for Dutse Local Government Area.

But some members said Mr Chamo’s choice was
against the preference of the majority of party
members in the council area.

The angry members invaded the party secretariat
during a meeting, dragged out the APC chairperson
and tore his clothes.

The 70-year-old Mr Ibrahim was reportedly
hospitalised following the incident.

The police commissioner in the state, Usman
Gomna, told reporters that two persons had been
arrested over the incident and debunked
speculations that the official was kidnapped by
gunmen.

The police chief said the incident was just an intra-
party crisis.

Jigawa LG elections

The Jigawa State Independent Electoral Commission (JISIEC) has fixed the local government elections
for June 26.

In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) in Dutse, on Sunday, the JISIEC Chairman,
Adamu Ibrahim, said the commission would
organise free and fair elections in the 27 council
areas.

“We have 287 wards in the 27 Local Government
Areas of Jigawa State and we have 3,527 polling
units,” Mr Ibrahim said, explaining that the
commission also had 11,357 ad-hoc staff that
would be involved in the elections.

“As of now, we have 18 political parties that have
indicated interest to participate in the elections and
I know others are coming. The main parties are All
Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), and some others,” Mr Ibrahim said.

The chairman also said the sale of nomination
forms for the office of the chairpersons and
councillors would commence from Monday, May
24, and screening of the candidates would follow
later.

NAN reported that the commission had fixed
N500,000 as nomination fees for the office of
chairman and N250,000 for the office of councillor.

At 22, you may have married her when she wasn't ready. A girl her age is still basking in the euphoria of youthfulness. Reality hasn't dawn on her yet. That is why she can be messing around with a male friend. The best you can do is call a family meeting or look for an elderly woman to advice her.

richmond500:
most girls in their early 20's are not marriageable.
That is the age when they want to explore their fantasies cos while in their teens, their parents always protect them and stop them from having intimacy with the opposite gender while their elder sisters and brothers always sleep out and have friends, all they do in their teen is masturbate and hope they get older to have a mind of their own too.

Getting married to the 20's is like denying them the right to explore the world they have longed for, at this age, they will be rebellious if u stop them cos they feel they are adults and adults do what they like.
When they get older and more experienced, they try to understand that being an adult is not thesame as doing what u like, at this stage, u can wife them and have peace of mind
Unfortunately, many nigerian girls don't mature with age. For instance, a 27 yr old girl can be acting like an 15 yr old, not becos she's deformed but becos she refuse to grow up
