yes, Nigeria is more than a company and needs people that are even more up to the task.
When searching for people up to the task you exclude a certain age bracket even if they've got loads of experience & integrity?

literarymathy:
lol. cheesy

Please read the content well na bros. I am not in support of anything. I tried to be objective. My point is that Delta State has two capitals and its stunting the growth of Asaba. It may be a good thing or a bad thing. But the government has to look into it.
The op has written a very expository & intellectual piece here.. quite objective too.. It's meant for sound minds & i understand the disappointment of people used to opening threads on celebrity gossip grin nice one Op.. another intellect can tell us if having two capitals is good or bad after doing his research

Crime › Re: Australian Teenager Claims She Was Raped By This Nigerian [SEE PHOTOS] by Metrofox(m): 7:03am On Apr 22, 2015
Hmm... Since I saw that movie GONE GIRL grin I'm always sceptic at first with rape cases..some women are the devils advocate, it's quite easy to fake a rape incident.. by the way i hope they didn't replace Neymar with his Nigerian double Mrs Detective




repogirl:
Mr. Detective,

First of all, the incident happened in Bali an Island off Indonesia and not in Australia.

Second of all, tests were done, if it wasnt rape then how do you explain the bruises on her body? Love bites? undecided

Third of all, this is a small island and the locals might be afraid of the Nigerian pulling a weapon (gun/knife) on them and so took no action. A guy with enough guts to do this in public had to be dangerous.

Fourth of all, why didn't she call the police? Duh, she was on an island she wasn't familiar with, she possibly didn't know the number..... Then again even if she knew, isn't it possible the guy wouldn't have let her make the call, he could have seized her phone or handbag. This is a young girl going against a man, which power she get?

Last of all, a virginity test showed she was raped, abi are the doctors olodos like you?

Jara, if he was innocent, why did he run?

Guy abeg, you and others should quit forming Sherlock Holmes because una just dey show una ololdoness for here. What would she gain coming out to talk about this and even spending up to four thousand dollars in legal fees?

I blame her anyway...... All these oyibo girls with their need to party.... Trusting any idiot that comes their way. I hope she shines her eye from now on.

Here are ways how the program can be implemented while cutting cost.

1. The fed will increase the allocation for the ministry of agriculture and build on what jonathan had done in that sector. Giving easy loans and services to farmers to produce more than they usually sell. most of which will be bought from them and redisrtibuted to school feeding. This way, Farmers will produce more than they usually sell and goverment gets the surplus. Payments for the surplus can be arranged either directly or in installments. Payments can also be made by providing free services for farmers that way, they can have enough materials for large scale farming at no cost as long as they produce mroe than their usual output and the goverment gets their surplus.

2. The government can start its own federal argic zones (2-3 in every geo political zone) to produce on a large scale here by creating more jobs (more taxes) and only pay the logistics and service delivery expenditure and put the cost of running federal agric zones on the buget of the ministry of agriculture.

3. The goverment can work with the ministry of education to vet and inspect schools that will meet the criteria for free school feeding in all zones. This means state goverment have to develop each school to a certain standard and they must have certain criterion they need to meet before getting a federal feeding pass. This way, they cost will increase by the year and there will be pressure on state goverments to develop and mordernize their schools. That way, they Fed can hold the states responsible for not doing enough work to get certain school into the program. Schools that meet the requirements will join every session and the budget will not be increased all at once.

4. 25 million unemployed people wont just start getting paid as well. requirements have to be meet and prove that they are looking for work or enroled in a federal traning program has to be meet.

5. The 5,000 should be paid from a bank established for the purpose. Lets call it. Federal assist credit bank. (FACB) and it should have specific stores that are allowed to accept them. that way, the fed can control what you can buy with what you get. That way, surplus foods from Federal agric zones that i mentioned earlier can set up shop and sell more food recieving payments from FACB. And utility bills like electricity and few other can be paid with FACB cards too among other things that are mainly government produced or controlled. that way, The government will only be subsiding its own services for poor people and wont have to add huge money to the budget. Cash back of only 1000 a month should be allowed on the card. that way 4,000 per person as to be used for food and utilities. reducing the cost of the program by 75%

I thought of this 5 points one one bottle of beer and few ciggarettes. Think about what a war room full of sober policy makers will do

LegatusGlaber:
Most of us May find it difficult breaking our sims cos of our contacts. But then most of us have multiple Sims.

Anyone with multiple sim should stop recharging his/her MTN sim. You can receive calls with it but never make calls with it. This way, they will definitely feel it..

Methinks the SA government is giving a tacit approval to these attacks, hence only paying lips service to curtailing it.

The pics the keep coming out of SA is gory to say the least; no one deserves to die this way. Please pass on the message.

[quThe running mate to retired General
Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential
elections, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday
explained the ‘Conditional Cash Transfer
Programme’ included in the manifesto of the
All Progressives Congress (APC).
Prof. Osinbajo speaking on Sunrise Daily said
“this programme is to lift 25 million of the
extremely poor Nigerians; Nigerians who earn
less than N200 a day to take care of
themselves and their families”.
Prof Osinbajo, who noted that “we have 119
extremely poor Nigerians”, added that the fast
way of dealing with that is the Conditional
Cash Transfer Programme.
“We will give N5, 000 to the poorest 25 million
over a phased period, if their children are
enrolled in school and participate in
immunization.
“So we are actually doing two things; we are
giving stipends to the very poorest and
ensuring that in order to earn that stipend
they certify two conditions”, he said.
He further noted that the party decided on the
25 million figure because that is what they
can deal with in the first phase, adding that
“we are looking at phasing it over a period
because it will cost about N1.35 trillion to do
so if we do all 25 million at once.
He maintained that, if elected, the programme
will be done in batches of 5 million people a
year, adding that “depending on resources we
can even do more”.
He said the N1.35 trillion they are proposing
for the Conditional Cash Transfer Programme’
is not so much compared to the AMCON
bailout of “persons who are in debt, many
businesses and businessmen and it cost N5.7
trillion to do and that is a bailout of the
relatively wealthy”.
He argued that the Conditional Cash Transfer
Programme will be an injection into the
economy by the beneficiaries, adding that it
enables “them to put some money into that
economy.
“This is the government’s way of not just
energizing the local economy but also
ensuring that people are empowered. That the
very poorest are given a real chance in life”, he
maintained.
Prof Osinbajo also spoke on how his party
intends to tackle the issues of unemployment,
security and corruption.
