Broooos, all this moneys you're calling, did you even bother to calculate or think it through?

The bold part just made me SMH for you.

naptu2:
There was a massive traffic jam on the Lekki Express around 12pm on Friday. I tried to find out the cause of the traffic and I was told that there was a petrol tanker on fire at the Admiralty Toll Plaza. I was shocked. I quickly made some calls and discovered that it was a actually a drill (an inter-agency simulation to test response time). The drill was overseen by the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Response Unit (LRU).

naptu2:

I don't know if there was another drill on Friday (it's possible), but this one was on Thursday (around 11:30am).

Oh.....Alright. Then, guess you made a mistake in the content of the original post. (see bold text)

Was wondering what caused the traffic too on Friday.

Boss naptu2 topic says Thursday or am I mixing something up?

THE Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has increased International Termination Rate (ITR) from N3.90 per minute to N24.40 per minute, a 525 per cent increase.

ITR is an interconnection charge set by mobile traffic carriers on calls originating from other networks. Though the regulator did not give reasons for the hike, the notice it issued, dated October 5, reads: “The Nigerian Communications Commission, on September 16, 2016 reviewed the termination rate for international inbound traffic from N3.90/min (about $0.013 today) to N24.40/min. The interim rate will subsist pending the conclusion of the study of the Determination of Cost Based Pricing for Mobile Voice Termination Rates.”

The over 525 per cent increase in the ITR could be traced to a recommendation in an analysis prepared by its Policy, Competition & Economic Analysis Department last year.

In an assessment of international voice traffic termination rates, NCC noted that while regulatory authorities tend to protect service providers and consumers, telcos and the government would prefer higher rates that bring in hard currency and can fund investment, expand domestic network, fund innovation and improve quality of service (QoS).

It also notes that revenues from international calls are seen as means of cross-subsidising domestic calls. This is tagged to a symmetrical system that shows money flows from developed to developing countries as most traffic originates from rich countries and high settlement rates favour the recipient countries.

Based on the assessment, NCC stated: “In comparison with other African countries ITR, Nigeria termination rate at $0.03 relatively too low and this will likely impact negatively on the inflow of revenue to the Nigerian economy.

“Consistent with the above, we recommend that upward reviews of international termination rate should be settled through negotiation and commercial agreement between the domestic service providers and international traffic carriers provided that the rate would not lead to decrease in inbound traffic to the country.”

Citing the case of Ghana’s termination rate increase in 2009 from $0.10 to $0.19/min which it says was problematic and Uganda’s enactment of a legislation in 2013 imposing a tax of $0.09 on inbound international calls that substantially increases ITR, NCC compares outcomes of termination rates with other 53 African countries to indicate that only South Africa shares the same ITR with Nigeria. Others range from $0.09 (Egypt) to as high as $0.70 (Gambia).

The reviewed ITR increase could seem to be NCC’s response to the telecom industry which has been feeling the pinch of its current economic woes of late, according to ITWeb Africa.

After industry experts decried harsh operating environment which has cost telecom companies about N660 billion this year, NCC says it will work on strategies including revised/updated Nigerian Telecom Policy, spectrum availability and other national resources, to yield gross domestic product (GDP) growth and create business/investment opportunities in the country.

Anyone who understands clearly what this means or implies should please help break it down to the simplest form. Gracias!

Una good evening o.

To everyone that has been of help one way or the other, may God continue to bless y'all. Some Nairalanders do have a large heart. (Cc thorpido;caveatemptor, et all)

Please, just a comment.

I want to suggest that any line of action to be made should be done in total agreement with the mother or perhaps after proper notification has been given to her. This is to avoid the awkwardness that could arise in the process of rendering help.

First, what if the mother has reasons she wouldn't support for her to open a bank account hence the reason she's holding back on giving the utility bill only for some group of strangers to come and override her authority in the name of 'help'?

Second, except you've established communication with me, I wouldn't just permit my child to go off at odd hours or even any hour if he/she is under my watch to meet up with some stranger. (It wouldn't be too hard for a Nigerian parent to suspect rituals).

Or God forbid, something goes wrong, who do you think I'd arrest?

She should be in the know of everything from plans to actions(account opening, ante natal, beauty shop, mentoring, therapy, all).

Except we've agreed the mother is out to frustrate her hence our efforts.

#Just a suggestion.

*exhales* This one is strong.

Onegai, much respect to you.

moji26, the help(change) required in this your situation should begin with you. You should do some introspection without coming up with some conspiracy theory against you. Also, LISTEN more to what those that are out to help you say. Everyone one can't just be against you without a reason.

'SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD'

MizMyColi:


Ma'am calm down.
Please

The tab she has on her might be the only internet enabled phone she has. Moreso, selling the tab might not be the best of options.

Moji26, please, are both your phones internet enabled? Would you consider selling one? Is it the Tecno tab that is giving you battery issues? How new is it? Can it fetch you a substantial sum?

Please reply.

Also, please I beg us..
Let us speak to/about her with some iota of respect.
Not because she deserves it or not, but because she is human....her bad choices does not make her any less.

I didn't even read this post before i made mine...... Miz, e bu ezigbo mmadu(hope i got it).

Onegai:


Listen to me. Open your ears and listen to me.

You need to get your life in order. It is wake-up time. No more excuses, go and sell that tab NOW. Go and apologise to your mother and you better kneel down for her. I'm going to call you in a short while and I want you to be quiet the entire conversation. We are going to have a talk. Is your whatsapp working now?

Hi.

Please she perhaps would do well with proper advice and counselling. Like TVO1 rightly said, we shouldn't just feel we can lord over her life because she really messed up.

She makes poor choices(concluding from what i've read thus far), so if she sells the tab, how long till she is asked to sell something else we deem 'not necessary' to her.

Also, not everyone reacts well to being spoken to in a mean way. So maybe you can tone down on the aggressive responses or talks when you call her.

The Federal Government yesterday launched the National e-agricultural Web Portal (NEAWP) to help achieve the diversification efforts of the government.

Speaking at the presentation and validation of the portal and inauguration of the Project Steering council in Abuja, the Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, said “the NEAWP project is a strategic initiative to enhance knowledge flow between stakeholders and ensure inclusive and robust development of the agricultural sector.

He said “the e-Agriculture encompasses and showcases all aspects of the Food and Agriculture Industry/Value chain in Nigeria.
Dr Lokpobiri said the portal aims to highlight the strategic and operational components of the ICT driven Agricultural value chain in Nigeria especially as it relates to the Green Alternative Policy of President Muhammadu Buhari which is being implemented by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

He assured that” we are committed to ensuring policy consistency by leveraging on the successes and lessons from the agricultural transformation agenda(ATA) and our strategy is to work with key stakeholders in the agricultural sector to build an agribusiness economy that guarantees domestic food security and enhanced exports,sustainable income for farmers and job growth”

He added that “the e-Agricultural Web Portal will integrate all existing and future agricultural platforms and mobile applications to create a One stop National e-agriculture presence” Also speaking,Director General /CEO ,National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim (Pantami), said “the e-Agriculture refers to the process of deploying, adopting and accepting ICTs into the different aspects of the Agricultural Value Chain”.

He said “some key features of the portal include providing a flexible system for identifying farmers in the country,giving a verifiable base of the farmers, incorporating a dashboard for presenting relevant data sets in easy to follow formats as well as providing a means of communicating key farming information like best practices and weather information”.

Mynd44:

True, anyone who thinks the solution is money is unrealistic as her mother is able to provide it………hello, she got her a nanny………she needs to change and realize it is time to grow up

Don't know why i've been missing the nanny part of the story..... I agree this situation demands a long lasting solution which should begin with counselling.

Sapphiredamsel:
I know one Moji Suliat, lives in igando and has a child from a previous boyfriend. I don't know if they are one and same, id confirm the surname from my mom now but her kid is 4 not 3. I sha hope it's not the Moji I know

Interesting. Seems you stay close to her. Please do try to reach out her if you can because her mobile phone number has been switched off all day. I just hope she isn't suicidal as claimed.

Patiently waiting for the whole truth.

Story is sooooo disjointed.

However, much respect to those Nairalanders that are ever ready to give assistance either monetary or physically.

God bless y'all.

Seun:

It is highly illogical for a doctor to say a patient is "medically ok" just because he doesn't know what is wrong with her. Imagine taking your car to the mechanic because it's making a strange and highly irritating noise and being told that your car is "mechanically ok". How does that help?.

With this thinking, I doubt you'd readily get a solution.

So if I scratch myself with a bottle and I don't tell the doctor, he's automatically supposed to diagnose and know even though the scratch is not terminal in any way?

The best you'd get is a search for infections and perhaps antibiotics with few advice both medical and general.

Having something in mind while going to see a doctor is as bad as self diagnosis and isn't healthy.

Persons have said it could be a bug, mite or self inflicted and i believe it's one of them. Let the doctor do his job. Advising the lady to keep probing or jumping from one hospital to the other isn't the best thing.

Naira on Thursday slipped to 485 to a dollar at the parallel market following the scarcity of the foreign exchange in the country.
Some traders in Lagos and Abuja said the naira slipped to near 490 a dollar in early trading before returning to 485 later.

They attributed the naira crash to the scarcity and speculations in the market.

Meanwhile some, traders are sceptical especially when buying the hard currencies due to the expectation to receive direct allocations from Central Bank likely from Friday.

The CBN allocation may likely ease the downturn of the local currency before the public holiday end on Tuesday.

Much respect dude. I was nearly driven to tears. Such a sincere lady, God has heard her prayer of importunity. Just watch out!

Truth be told, I was never a fan of hers but she just earned my respect today.

Hard-work and persistence plus the God factor would ensure you definitely reach and surpass your goal.

How many persons watched the video sef?

Her story inspires, at least it inspired me....... Don't just take out 'negativity' from people's comment in a bid to make fun of them.

There's ZERO bad in what she said.

Y'all should take time to actually watch the video.

The National Youth Council of Nigeria on Sunday said it had traced £1.558m (N825m) to a United Kingdom account allegedly owned by the embattled former chairman, House of Representatives’ Committee on Appropriations, Abdulmumin Jibrin.

The Head of the Anti-corruption unit of the NYCN, Ifeanyi Okonkwo, said this in an e-mail he sent to The PUNCH in Abuja.

When contacted on the telephone, Mr. Ikenga Ugochinyere, who identified himself as the President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, said, “The statement came from our anti-corruption unit. Like you can see from the documents attached, we received the information from a reliable source in the UK.”

Okonkwo said the operation of the accounts contravened existing Nigerian laws on the conduct of elected and appointed public officers.

The group said documents it obtained from the UK revealed that Jibrin allegedly “owns and operates the said account domiciled in ING Bank Channels Island, United Kingdom.”

It said, “The bank is located at Forum House, Grenville Street, St-Heller, Jersey JE2 4UF, Channels Island United Kingdom.

“Jibrin opened the account with his address at 453 Crank brook Road, Ilford Essex IG2 6EW.

“Details of the account statement obtained by some lawyers in the UK show that Jibrin has a total £1.558m (approximately N825m) in the account between June 1, 2016 and June 30, 2016.”

The group claimed that Jibrin withdrew the sum of £623.44 pounds within the one month period bringing the balance in the account to £1.376, 193.84 British pounds.

“Jibrin’s ownership of foreign account contravenes the provisions of the 1999 Constitution which bars public officers from owning and operating foreign account,” the group added.

Paragraph 3, Part one of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, states:

“The President, Vice-President … members of the National Assembly and Houses of Assembly of states and such other public officers or persons shall not maintain or operate a bank account in any country outside Nigeria.”

Paragraph 18 of same Schedule provides to the effect that where the Code of Conduct Tribunal finds a public officer guilty of contravention of any provision of the code of conduct the punishments to be imposed include vacation of office or seat; disqualification from membership of a legislative house; seizure or forfeiture of assets or property being proceeds of such corruption; and prosecution in addition to the above sanctions; where the conduct constitutes a crime.

Attempts to get a reaction from Jibrin were unsuccessful. He neither picked nor returned any of the calls put through to him.

A response to a text message sent to him was still being awaited as of 7:05 when this report was filed.

However, at about the same time, Jibrin twitted: “When I heard Speaker Dogara wants to suspend me I laugh” on his twitter handle @AbdulAbmj.

Although this is laudable, I want to believe it's purely for educational purposes before people start claiming it would translate to a cheaper source for the production of the said crude derivatives.

If I remember clearly, this is basic chemistry - pyrolysis.

The breakdown of the plastics to derive those hydrocarbons would require an extensive separation technique if it's to be done on an industrial scale and wouldn't be cost effective in any way.

The Nigerian Stock Exchange (The NSE or The Exchange) is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2016 edition of the NSE Essay Competition for students in Senior Secondary Schools in all states of the federation.

The topic for this year’s edition is “What is the biggest obstacle to saving and investing money and how can The Nigerian Stock Exchange help”.

They will also be honoured with a Closing Gong ceremony. The schools of the top three winners will also be presented with trophies, Desktop Computers and Printers.

According to Mr. Bola Adeeko, Head, Corporate Services Division, NSE, improving financial literacy is important to the future of Nigeria. “Through the NSE Essay Competition, we are promoting financial literacy among young Nigerians, by encouraging them to learn how good financial decisions can better their lives now and in the future, and ultimately grow the economy. The competition serves as an essential platform to get the perspectives of our young ones on key challenges relating to financial literacy and inclusion in Nigeria”.

Since it began in year 2000, The NSE Essay Competition has inspired over 20,000 young people in over 2,500 secondary schools across Nigeria to showcase what they have learnt about the financial and capital markets. It provides an important opportunity for youths to engage in issues of importance to The Nigerian economy.

Mr. Olumide Orojimi, Head of Corporate Communications, NSE said, “at NSE, we are committed to helping people understand how to manage their financial resources. We take pride in investing in the lives of the next generation by empowering them with financial skills and knowledge”.

Orojimi noted that the impact of the competition is commendable as the Exchange continues to record increased number of participation and overall, high level of interest which has altogether created greater awareness of the dynamics of the stock exchange. “Our achievements are not lost on our stakeholders, as the NSE recently received the “Corporate Achievement Award to a Financial Institution” at the inaugural annual Financial Literacy Excellence (FILEX) Awards, for promoting financial literacy in Nigeria”.​
