Politics › 24 Hours Curfew: Plateau Residents Decry Shortage Of Food Items, Rising Prices by michigang(op): 7:58pm On Aug 28, 2021 |
Residents of Jos metropolis, Plateau State, on Saturday, cried out over the shortage of food items and other essential commodities in their areas following the re-imposition of 24 hours curfew in the area, Daily Trust reports. The residents also complained about the hike in prices of food items after the directive. The 24 hours curfew was re-imposed by the state government following the killing of members of the Anaguta ethnic group on Tuesday in Yelwa Zangam community of Jos North LGA. Residents who came out to look for food complained about the situation. Yakubu Busari, a resident of Janta Adamu, said people in the area were finding it very difficult to cope with the situation, saying the curfew, though important, had resulted in hardships in the area. He said, “Getting the food is problematic. Many people don’t have money because they have to go out before they can get some money to buy food. “Recharge cards are not available because many shops are not operating. “The situation may result in theft and other criminal activities within the community.” Peter Azi, a resident of Laminga, said, “The curfew is seriously affecting residents of my area in all aspects of their life. People can’t go to town to access health care services. “Food items and other essential commodities are very scarce because sellers of the items often go to the town to supply them and the town is locked.” Hamza Musa, a resident of Anguwan Rogo, said, “To me, the government by now should relax the curfew. People are hungry and should be allowed to go out and source food to eat. “When hunger becomes unbearable and people decide to go out, the government may not control people.” While calling for the lifting of the curfew, many residents urged the government to deploy security personnel at all flashpoints to protect lives and property. http://saharareporters.com/2021/08/28/24-hours-curfew-plateau-residents-decry-shortage-food-items-rising-prices |
Politics › FRSC, Fiscal Commission Disagree Over Remittance Of ₦5.1 Billion by michigang(op): 8:36am On Aug 26, 2021 |
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has been directed by the House of Representatives Committee on Finance to reconcile its account with the Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC) over alleged unaccounted N5.1 billion.
The Chairman of the Committee, James Faleke, gave the directive at the ongoing interactive session on the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) on Wednesday.
During the Wednesday’s session, the FRC Director of Planning and Standard, Alex Alekwo, told the committee that the FRSC was yet to remit N5.1 billion to the Consolidated Revenue Account since 2016.
But in a swift response to the claim, the Corps Marshall of the FRSC, Boboye Oyeyemi , who attended the session, said the Corps had never defaulted with remittance to the government coffer.
He said the Corps had remitted the said amount.
He also asked the committee to give the Corps time to provide evidence of remission from the Office of the Accountant General.
“If you give us time, we can submit the proof of remittances to this committee,” Mr Oyeyemi said.
“We are a law abiding organisation. As of August….we are very relieved when it comes to remittance.
The committee can inquire directly from the Accountant General of the Federation of the monthly receipts. The records are there. I think there is an issue with the FRC.”
The Chairman of the Committee, James Faleke (APC, Lagos), therefore, directed the Corps to “reconcile with the FRC and give us feedback tomorrow. Go to their office and reconcile with them.”
The committee recently commenced an interactive session with Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the federal government on MTEF. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/481244-frsc-fiscal-commission-disagree-over-remittance-of-n5-1-billion.html

Politics › VAT: FIRS Threatens Taxpayers Amid Face-off With Rivers Government by michigang(op): 9:13am On Aug 23, 2021 |
The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has threatened to penalise taxpayers in Rivers who refuse to pay their value-added tax (VAT) to the agency. Abdullahi Ahmad, the FIRS spokesman, advised in a statement on Sunday. He noted that the FIRS issued the directive following numerous inquiries after a recent judgment obtained by the Rivers government at the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High Court. The court had on August 9 ruled that the Rivers government, not the FIRS, was the rightful authority to collect VAT. Following the judgment, Governor Nyesom Wike, on August 19, signed into law a bill that authorises the Rivers government to collect VAT in the state henceforth. The FIRS spokesperson explained that since the organisation had already appealed the judgment, seeking a stay of execution order, and that the status quo ante should subsist on VAT collection, taxpayers should continue to pay their VAT to the FIRS. “The attention of the FIRS has been drawn to the trending report that on 19/08/2021, the government of Rivers state took steps to enact a Value Added Tax Law for Rivers state following the judgment of the Federal High Court Port Harcourt Division on August 9, 2021, in suit number CS 149/2020,” stated the FIRS spokesman. The suit was about who has the constitutional duty to collect VAT and personal income tax in Rivers. “We wish to inform the general public that before the above-mentioned steps taken by the government of Rivers state, FIRS had lodged an appeal against the above judgment,” Mr Ahmad added. According to him, FIRS has also filed an application for stay of execution of the judgment “as well asking the court for an injunction pending the determination of the appeal.” The Court of Appeal has not ruled on the appeal, and the federal high court has yet to deliver a ruling on FIRS’ applications for stay of execution and injunction. Mr Ahmad urged the public to continue to comply with their VAT obligations until the appellate court resolves the matter. https://gazettengr.com/vat-firs-threatens-taxpayers-amid-face-off-with-rivers-government/ |
Politics › Insecurity: UNIJOS Suspends Academic Activities, Shuts Hostels by michigang(op): 1:24am On Aug 21, 2021 |
Following the rising spate of insecurity in Jos and its environs, the Management of the University of Jos has suspended all academic activities in the institution till further notice.
Mr Monday Danjem, the Registrar of the university, unveiled this development in a statement on Friday in Jos.
According to Danjem, the decision to suspend academic activities and shut hostels was arrived at the end of the meeting between management and the Committee of Deans, Directors and Provost of the institution on Friday, August 20.
“The insecurity in Jos, which led to the imposition of dusk-to-dawn curfew has affected the academic activities and forced the university to suspend its second semester examinations for the 2019/2020 academic session.
“Students of the university continued to experience attacks from hoodlums, a situation that has led to the death of some of our students.
“Consequently, the management of the university, after an emergency meeting with the Committee of Deans, Directors and Provost on Friday, ordered the suspension all academic activities in the university until further notice.
“Management has also directed the closure of all students hostels until further notice
“The decision, which is in best interest and for the safety of our students, is subject to ratification by the Senate of the University,” Danjem said.
The registrar advised students to vacates all hostels and go back home and other safer abodes until the security situation in Jos improves.
He appealed to security agencies to beef up security at the various students location to enable them vacate to their destinations safely.
“Students are also advised to use safe means of transportation to their respective safer destinations.
“We wish to passionately appeal that a joint patrol team of armed soldiers and other law enforcement agencies should beef up security and ensure that students are adequately protected as they vacate their various hostels to safer destinations,” he appealed.
He said that management would give adequate notice of resumption when normalcy is fully restored in Jos and environs.
Danjem thanked the government of the state and security agencies for ensuring the safety of majority of students of the university even as attacks on innocent people persist in Jos.
He called on the students to be law abiding and desist from activities that would put them in trouble.
Recall that some students of the university have been killed and others injured in the current insecurity that has bedeviled Jos in last one week. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/08/insecurity-unijos-suspends-academic-activities-shuts-hostels/

I am not an advocate for premarital sex, people should stop fornicating. It makes you have clear eyes to see the red flags that you should see.
If a woman doesn't have a source of income but lives lavishly or lives like who dey work and it's not her parents financing her, na red flag.

Foreign Affairs › How We’ll Govern Afghanistan – Taliban by michigang(op): 11:10am On Aug 18, 2021 |
The Taliban said Tuesday that women’s rights will be protected in Afghanistan within the limits of Islamic law.
“The women are going to be very active in the society, but within the framework of Islam,” Zabihullah Mujahid, the group’s spokesperson said.
The Taliban held its first official news conference in Kabul, on Tuesday, since taking power on Sunday.
The group also said it wants peaceful relations with other countries.
“We don’t want any internal or external enemies,” Al Jazeera quotes Mr Mujahid as saying while encouraging Afghans who had fled to the airport with their families to return.
He also said private media would be permitted to “remain independent” if journalists “did not work against national values.”
The group had earlier declared an “amnesty” across Afghanistan and urged women to join its government Al Jazeera reports that the Taliban is trying to calm nerves across a tense capital city that only the day before saw chaos at its airport as thousands made desperate attempts to flee.
On Tuesday, evacuation flights from Afghanistan resumed as a Western security official told the Reuters news agency that the Kabul airport’s tarmac and runway – which troops from the United States control – were now clear of crowds.
The official said military flights evacuating diplomats and civilians from Afghanistan have started taking off.
Not less than seven people died in Monday’s chaos, including people who clung to the sides of a jet as it took off.
The Taliban has declared the war in Afghanistan over and a senior leader said the group would wait until foreign forces had left before creating a new governance structure, Al Jazeera reports. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/479801-how-well-govern-afghanistan-taliban.html

Politics › Police Nab 78-yr-old With 2 Rocket Grenade Launchers by michigang(op): 7:13pm On Aug 16, 2021 |
The arrest of a suspect, Ntuyi La is from Cross Rivers State and Mother from Cameroon, with 38 raps of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and recovery of one International Communication Equipment ‘Thuraya’, from him in Uyo, by Police Operatives of the Intelligence Response Team, formed the highpoint of the parade of 39 criminal suspects by CP Frank Mba, Force Public Relations Officer in Abuja on Monday. The Force Public Relations Officer was supported during the parade by the Commander of the Special Tactical Squad, DCP Kolo Yusuf and the new Commander of the Police IRT, DCP Tunji Disu. Also recovered from the 58-year-old suspect who was described as a Secessionist arms supplier of explosives, arms and ammunition to Cameroon Secessionists by CP Mba, were over 216 rounds of live ammunition all meant for a movement to Cameroon. The suspect claimed that he sells a carton of the explosives for #70, 000 each. Another suspect, Joseph Okala, 78 years old native of Agatu in Benue state but resides in Makurdi who was arrested in possession of two Rocket Propelled Grenade Launchers claimed one of his friends asked him to keep the weapons for him before he was arrested. Also paraded was 46 years old Zakaria Yahaya arrested by the Police Special Tactical Squad who confessed that he is the head of a gang of cybercrime crooks who goes after sim cards and phone numbers of innocent people or unsuspecting members of the public. “They engage in snatching of phones through pickpocketing. They are not interested in the phone, no matter how expensive. All they are after is the sim card. Once they get the sim card, Zakaria will reset the sim card, trace the bank account details of the person and steal the money found in the account”, the FPRO said. Asked how many people his gang had defrauded or whose account had been broken into using their stolen sim card, Zakaria said they are too numerous for him to remember adding that in one of the operations, he stole #800, 000 from an account. He said the banks that favour them, which were easier for them to break into using his resetting skills were First Bank of Nigeria and Access Bank adding that the gang so far have been operating in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Plateau and Kano states. CP Frank Mba urged phone users particularly those who had used MTN sim cards and were not loner using them, either because they travelled or are no longer comfortable with the numbers, to go recall the numbers because it is these dormant numbers they look out for and use in perpetrating the crime. Disclosing that a total of 13 AK 47 rifles, 2 RPG Launchers, 750 AK 47 live ammunition, 11 AK 47 magazines were recovered from the suspects, the FPRO said arms and ammunition recovered from criminal suspects are treated as exhibits and used for forensic evaluation. “We register them as exhibits. They are used for investigations and later for prosecution. They are used to establish cases against the suspects in a court of law. Once the cases are over, what we do with the arms and ammunition are tied to the outcome of the judgment of the court”. On the proliferation of illicit arms, CP Mba said, “The Nigeria Police Force deserves commendation for the way it has gone about mopping up of small and illicit arms and ammunition across the country. The challenges are however challenges of border control activities of arms merchants, destabilization of the Sahel region, the collapse of Libya which is making arms available to insurgents and bandits”. “But we have dismantled a lot of international arms syndicates. We will strengthen inter-agency cooperation with sister security agencies like the Custom and Nigerian Immigration Service towards checkmating arms inflow into the country. On the situation in Jos, Mba said “the Inspector General of Police on Monday deployed a Police helicopter to conduct surveillance patrols, while order assets of the force were also deployed adding, “We have been able to stabilize the situation while scores of suspects arrested are already being profiled.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/08/police-nab-78-yr-old-with-2-rocket-grenade-launchers-58-yr-old-secessionist-arms-supplier-to-cameroon-with-38-ieds/ |
