This almost the same thing that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi did and some myopic and tribal bigots were accusing him of vendetta mission.
The topmost priority for the CBN to do is to safeguard depositor funds, not shareholders' fund. If the managers and board need to be sacked in-order to stabilize the bank, so be it. The privileged rich must also pay dearly for their sins!

Sanusi had advised the CBN in late 2015/early 2016 to devalue the Naira but Emefiele rejected the idea.
Even though it is not always a good idea to devalue the urrency, the CBN waited for too long until a huge scarcity of dollars set in which increased and worsened the spread between the official rate (N199) and the black market (N350) before they eventually decided to float the Naira.
If the Naira had been devalued much earlier to around N220-230, the disequilibrium would not have been so pronounced. Now with the official and black market rates at N281 and N350 respectively, most import-dependent companies will see their import bills rise by at least 50-80%

Foolish talk!
Was it Fashola that contracted that road? The road construction had been going on even when Fashola was not a minister, so how can you credit him with the current work going on?
The contractors suspended work because of lack of funds because FG was owing them and now they have been begged to resume work and they will be paid later. And you say Fashola (sic) is working? Is that how you think?

Bolustic:
Yet Ghanaians would be boasting as if Nigeria has no importance to their daily living.

Why wont they boast? Nigeria also laments when demand for oil and gas goes down, and Ghana is also one of the customers. Ghana will still be buying gas from Nigeria until around 2018 when they will complete their TEIN and Sankofa gas fields, and that is what Nigeria should be worried about because once that project is completed, about 60-80% of the revenue from West African Gas Pipeline will be gone!

i just got out from the jail for what i did not do. I was accused of being in possession of drugs. My only offense was that i went to the bank (bidvest sunnyside and fnb) withdrew money and they took all the money and also beat me up inside a bush and said all you Nigerians are smart and we will make life miserable for you all. They took 35k rands plus 5 other guys., 10k, 150k plus 180k they said they are corps in sunnyside. Yet we got to their office, they wrote that i am illegal immigrate. They said they only found house keys with us no money.

They tore my passport on our way to their office and also my friend asalyum. There was a pastor in the cell jail with us also, an up coming pastor and has office which i know of yet they messed with him too. He is married to a Zimbabwean whose father is a south Africa and mother zemba...

This has been a trend for many months or yrs now. i have heard of this but never thought it will come to me. why are south Africa citizen angry with Nigerians? what is our sin? That we kept fucking their sisters, giving them drugs, taking all over the country. i never believe that a police officer will do such things. His name is: cst motian, this is the same guy who killed a Yoruba guy, he's known for sending and helping us to send money home. Because he took them to court and was wining the case. When they arrested me they said how am i making a living? i told them, lets go to my office, they say my ID's and place of work but yet...they searched me, took all phones, monies and one of them drove my friend car away.

When we got to the station police at sunnyside they told them we dont have papers, i have papers, they took it from me. i told the officer in the office that if i dont have a permit how come i was able to withdrew money from the bank? the officer said dont worry, one day is one day. now they gave me a form of detained for possession of drugs. if you are from igbo they wil write drugs on your form, if you are Yoruba they put illegal immigrate and fraud. only God knows.

if you dont have money it's a problem, when you have little it's a also a problem. they arrested me inside a taxi. i dont even have a car. how long are we going to continue to leave in fear. please step in,please step in, please step in.
i told our embassy here yet nothing. please warn all Nigerians to be careful. those staff of Bidvest bank at sunnyside works with this people. if you open a case they will send an assassin.

The Xenophobic attacks were condemnable and I don't support victimizing people unnecessarily!
But my question is: why are they not attacking Ghanaians, Kenyans etc but only Nigerians?
Why are Nigerians being attacked in India?
Why are Nigerians being attacked in China?
Why are Nigerians being driven out from many places in the world....Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand etc?
Why are Ghanaians fed up with Nigerians in Ghana?

The answer is simple: our attitude, behavior and lack of moral values have made Nigerians to become a nuisance almost everywhere we go.

It is painful, that is the plain truth.
Let us behave ourselves and we will have no problems

I wonder the kind of upbringing or morals that this Tiwa of a girl has!
Your marriage has just hit the rocks and your husband who toiled to make you a success nearly committed suicide. And in less than a month, you are already globe-trotting around as if nothing happened!
She cannot even wait for a few months for her to show some remorse before junketing around with the same people that the husband accused her of cheating and flirting with.

Or is she doing all these to kill the sorrows of the separation?

That is not a Nigerian wife! Stop misleading people!
That is clearly a Ghanaian style of pounding fufu and they use mostly cassava, plantain and cocoyam. Ghanaian fufu is not made with ''yam''
Even the shape and size of the pestle and mortar will clearly tell you that what is being prepared is NOT a Nigerian dish!

The Ghanaian way of pounding fufu is for one person to use the pestle while the other uses his/her hand to turn the fufu in the mortar, that is why you see the woman sitting close to the mortar. In the Nigeria style, only one person holding the mortar does the turning and the hand is not used for turning so you would not necessarily see anybody sitting close to the mortar!

That is very good!
But the greatness of a people is not just about them receiving degrees in a foreign land!

Character, Discipline and what you achieve(produce and make possible) in your own country is the real parameter for assessing a great country!
Israelis, Indians, Chinese, South Koreans, etc are respected all over the world because of what they have been able to do in their own country!

We need to translate academic excellence into excellence in character, discipline, integrity, honesty and hard work.
A very honest, sincere, trainable and hardworking third-class graduate or school drop-out is much better ''human resource'' than a dubious, corrupt and fraudulent first-class graduate or PhD holder who would defraud the company.

Nigerians can see how our musicians now rely heavily on beats and rhythms invented by Ghanaians. That is the azonto/alqaeda /hiplife beat which has virtually become the main thing for Nigerian musicians.....Wande Coal. Olamide, Flavour, Reekado, D Banj, and so many others. The list is endless
It is good to collaborate and borrow ideas from elsewhere, but we too should be creative enough to create a unique style / beats for ourselves. The fact the Ghanaian beats are a hit in club houses and at parties does not mean every Nigerian musician must copy it

lay2uarh:
The Lagos State University have reportedly gifted 160 students of the institution with a total of N4 million. The students were rewarded for making 4.5 Cumulative Grade Point Average and above during the 2015/2016 academic session.‎

The Vice Chancellor of LASU, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun, presented the cheques to them on behalf of the school management on Friday, June 17, at the Ojo Campus.

While presenting N25,000 to each student, the VC congratulated them and urged them not to relent their efforts.

He said:-

“We are proud of you, but you must work harder to sustain the grade. Do not relent in your efforts because you were celebrated today.”

The Vice-Chancellor also urged the other students to work harder “to join the success train ‎so that they will also be rewarded.”

Dean of Students Affairs at the institution, Dr. Olufemi Obayori‎ also gave words of encouragement. He said: “To the generality of students here, it is never too late to join the ranks of the chosen. It is possible. You can do it.”

Of the 160 students, 35 were from College of Medicine, another 35 from Faculty of Management Sciences, 32 from Faculty of Social Sciences and 34 from Faculty of Science. Thirteen students were from the Faculty of Education, nine from Faculty of Engineering and two from Faculty of Arts.

LASU was nearly destroyed by a clueless, elitist, insensitive, arrogant and very corrupt governor. He is now a minister in Buhari's govt.
Another governor is now making efforts to revive the pride of LASU. God bless Ambode!

For those who were carried away by the sheer propaganda and lies of the former governor, Ambode;s efforts in just one year should make you realize that you have been deceived for far too long!

I have always maintained that a governor that celebrates every 100 days in office, spent N8biillion on a 7 km road and N78m on a personal website must be a thief!

Squares:
I actually don't like aregbesola but this hijab thing doest have anything to do with him directly. it was a court order. All Christians has to do is to appeal the judgment. those clerics went to far. if u want your daughters to wear hijab pls take then to surajudeen ausarudeen Muslim college etc not a christian named schools.

It is better you educate yourself on the genesis of the matter before you comment.
It was Aregbesola's govt that originally introduced the idea. The Christians then opposed it, and the Muslims went to an Osun State court to obtain a verdict.
If that fanatic and clueless governor had not introduced it, the muslims would not have the guts to go to court because they know the useless governor was already interested in the idea.
Only a useless and stupid governor will want to impose Islamic rites on schools founded by Christians!
I will not be surprised if it turns our that that useless Aregbesola is a member of Boko Haram, Alqaeda, Al-Shabab, Taliban or ISIS!

dridowu:
The Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) and the Accra High Court are on a collision course over bail terms granted to a Nigerian drug baron described by the security agencies as a kingpin in the narcotic drug business in West Africa.


The baron, Chief Sunny Ekechukwu Benjy Eke, who had been on remand at the Nsawam Medium Security Prisons since 2013 for attempting to smuggle 281,604 grammes of liquid cocaine with a street value of more than $12.5 million into the country, was granted bail by the Accra High Court last Thursday.

The court, presided over by Mr Justice J. K. Dorgu, granted Chief Eke and his accomplice, James Elike Chukwu, bail in the sum of GH¢200,000, with three sureties each.

The bail terms were that all the sureties should be Ghanaians who are gainfully employed and whose places of abode should be known to the police.

International drug agencies

The bail terms have angered top officials of NACOB, as its Executive Secretary, Mr Yaw Akrasi Sarpong, has described the terms as very unfortunate because Chief Eke is known to have jumped bail in Brazil and all the international drug agencies were hard on his tail but could not arrest him until he was arrested in Ghana.

Reacting to the court’s decision in Accra last Friday, Mr Sarpong said NACOB’s challenge was that the judge, in using his discretion as required by law, should have considered the past record of the suspect, which is public knowledge.

He said the fight against trans-national organised crime was not for the security agencies alone but the whole justice delivery system in the country.

He warned that if the suspect escaped, nobody should blame NACOB because the board would use meagre state resources or property to monitor the suspect as “he walks free on the streets of Accra, a situation which he could take advantage of to escape again”.

Organised crime

He said the plea of NACOB was that while the Judiciary upheld the 1992 Constitution and the rule of law, there was the need to understand that the characters involved in trans-national organised crime, such as suspect Chief Eke, could undermine democracy, promote impunity of the private sector against the public sector, engender corruption both in the public and the private sectors, as well as give cause for the rise of fake and wrong role models.

“For NACOB, the condition under which the accused was granted bail was not the best, judging from his past record of jumping bail. Besides, we are aware that the wheel of justice is a slow processs, but no matter how slow it is, justice is more likely to prevail than injustice,” he said.

He expressed concern over the erroneous scientific concept that the state was more powerful than the private sector, saying that trans-national organised crime could generate money on the black market which the state did not have.

He said drug business and money could be linked to terrorism, cyber crime, money laundering, human, arms and wild life trafficking, among other crimes.

Background

On February 13, 2013, the Daily Graphic carried a story about the seizure of the largest quantity of cocaine in recent years at the Tema Harbour, estimated to be 200 kilogrammes, with a street value of $12 million.

The drug was concealed in a 40-footer container filled with 1,946 boxes of shampoo imported from Bolivia in South America to Ghana.

The owner, Chief Eke, a 53-year-old Nigerian businessman, was arrested, together with another accomplice, James Elike Chukwu, 47, a second-hand clothes dealer in Accra.

Chief Eke was described by international law enforcement agencies as a notorious drug baron who had been involved in several drug seizures in Brazil and Bolivia.

The success of the operation was the result of co-operation among the security agencies in the country and their international partners.

In December 2012, NACOB, through its foreign counterparts, received intelligence that cargo said to contain a quantity of cosmetics was heading to the Tema Harbour from Bolivia and was suspected to contain some narcotic substances.

Surveillance mounted

On January 29, 2013, the said cargo, which was shipped in a 40-footer container marked MRK 257478-45 GI belonging to MAESRK Shipping Lines and consigned to De Consumables Lines Limited, docked at the Tema Harbour and officials of NACOB, who were on standby, immediately mounted surveillance on it.

After almost two weeks, a clearing agent arrived with the necessary documents to clear the goods and he was arrested to assist in investigations and the container was later traced to Elike Chukwu, who was arrested at his residence at Aplaku Junction, near Weija.

Upon interrogation, Elike Chukwu told NACOB officials that the real owner of the goods was Chief Eke.

It took NACOB over one week of controlled operation to lure Chief Eke back into the country for his arrest at the Accra Shopping Mall, where he had scheduled a meeting with Chukwu and the clearing agent.

He had in his possession four Nigerian passports with different names at the time of his arrest.

Ambode is a far better governor than that elitist and obnoxious pretender called Fashola. The latter used his eloquence and excessive hype to confuse millions of gullible idiots. Discerning people like me saw through the noise, and I detested everything about him. I still do.

Even as an eminently anti-APC political observer, I saw from the earliest days of Ambode's gubernatorial reign that he showed signs of a creative/humanist/pragmatic approach to governance that I could not argue against.

God bless you my brother. You must be very highly knowledgeable and someone that reads in-between the lines. I have exactly the same opinion,
even though I am not an anti-APC person.

Fashola was totally clueless and very corrupt! Unfortunately, we are in a society where mediocrity is promoted and worshipped.
It baffles me how some people could be so blind to eulogize a governor that destroyed LASU, messed up the health sector, oppressed the poor with obnoxious laws, used every project as opportunity to extort money from the populace e.g. Lekki toll gate, Ikoyi bridge. A governor that used over N70million of govt. funds to build a PERSONAL website and another N70million to build ordinary borehole. The same man said he used over N7billion to RENOVATE an EXISITING 7 kilometer road (Western Avenue, Surulere), thereby making it an everage of 1billion per kilometer as far back as 2006-07! That is the most expensive road in Nigeria!
Fashola was a thief par excellence!

I just hope Ambode would not fall into the same trap!

Alphaoscar:
Berem , Trust me this is not about Aregbe or no Aregbesola. some people somewhere are the ones promoting this rubbish to cause trouble. Aregbesola banned the use of hijab ( which in the first place is unnecessary ) but the Muslim communities took their to the court of law which ruled in their favour and instead of the opponents of the use of hijab to appeal the judgement they resort to self-help .


And the hijab they are talking about is not even all those long ones that is common with the northern Muslims but short hijabs that just covered the head and very common within the the corporate environment.
Check my update above to see my first comment above for more insight on the issue.

It is a lie, Aregbesola did not ban hijab. His govt. first introduced the idea and the Christians kicked against it. The Moslems, knowing that the idiot was in love with the idea, then went to an Osun State court!
All the nonsense started with Aregbesola himself whose govt. mooted the idea in the first place!
Why are the Moslems wearing hijabs just now? Why didn't they wear hijabs during the military and other civilian governors in the past? The reason is they have realized how fanatical Aregbesola is and we all know what fanaticism does to common sense!

The silly man cannot stop Christians from wearing their own church apparels too. It wont happen!

It is very sickening and irritating to say Moslems can wear hijabs in schools established by Christians, but deny the Christians the same right!

The most racists sets of people or nationalities towards blacks are Chinese, Arabs and Indians. I'll live with a racist white person than these people.White people no matter how racist some might be, one thing you can't take away from them is they have hearts and sympathy.

You can test this yourself: go in front of a Chinese, Arab, Indian or a White (European, American or Australian) and pretend to be dying, make sure you are very dark-skinned, come back and tell me who will attend to you, and treat you like a human.

There used to be a similar restaurant/night club in Accra, Ghana where Ghanaians/black Africans were not allowed.
The news got to the govt. and the place was banned and it is no longer in existence!

hakim92:
What's this one saying, please read and get your fact right before coming out to spew baldderdash and displaying your foolhardines in public. Did Aregbesola give any executive order that muslim female student should wear hijab to public schools ? The answer is no,far from it. aregbesola banned them from wearing it, and the muslim body went to court to contest the executive order, and fortunately the judicial verdict went in their way, the court granted their prayers which enable female muslim students to don their hijab to school. And that judicial verdict remains not only valid but also will serve as judicial precedence until it is overturned by an higher court in the land.

One would have thought the right and sensible thing for CAN - a body full of intellectuals and academia - to do, is to ventilate and channel their grievances to a legitimate and legal quarter. The didn't do that, they threw caution to the wind and started behaving like a conglomerate of social miscreants.

Aregbesola's govt was the first to introduce the idea before Christians kicked against it. The moslems, knowing that Aregbesola was already in love with the idea, had the courage to go to court!
Why had the moslems not attempted to wear hijabs in public schools until Aregbesola became governor? We have had Bisi Akande as governor in Osun and he is a moslem.
Aregbesola is just s clueless fanatic who will end up using religion to destroy the unity in that state.

It is simple, wearing hijab s the fundamental right of moslems, so also is wearing of cassock and choir robes to Christians!

Osun state now has a foolish governor that does not know the meaning and import of the word ''uniform''

Giyerte:
The Gov. Rauf Aregbesola of Osun on Tuesday said students who wore unauthorised cloths to any public schools in the State would be expelled henceforth.


Aregbesola stated this at the commissioning of St Micheal’s Government Middle School, Ibokun while reacting to different choir robes and garments wore to Baptist High School in Iwo by some Christian students.

He said it was wrong and criminal for a section or group of people to have directed some innocent students to wear choir robes to schools against court’s judgment.
He urged whoever was not satisfied with the judgment to ventilate the grievance through legitimate means rather than trying to cause crises by resorting to self help.
According to him,``Government is not interested in any religion as being speculated. My goal is to improve education standard in the state.’’


Deputy Governor Titilaoye Tomori, who doubles as the Commissioner for Education, said the inauguration of the school had confirmed their mission statement in education.
Tomori said no fewer than 20 elementary, 22 middle and 17 high schools had either been commissioned or were at final stages of commissioning.


State Chairman, Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Mr Felix Awofisayo urged people to pay tax so that government can do more.
Some students of Iwo Baptist High School wore church garments and robes to school on Tuesday in reaction to the court ruling allowing Muslim female students to wear veils (hijab) to schools.

This fanatic of a governor should get ready to expel all Christian students from public schools in Osun State so that only muslims would be left. CAN should never compromise on this issue. Let the idiot governor do his worst!

In fact, that Aregbesola is a complete idiot and a disgrace.
During my school days, there was nothing like this useless confusion. Even though my school was non-denominational, both Christians and Muslims had good religious harmony. Muslims and Christians took turns to say their prayers during assembly and it was fun.
Now, the stupid buffoon has planted religious crisis in the state and on the verge of causing a big confusion between Christians and Muslims,
This is the same useless fool that has not paid workers salaries for more than 6 months!

[quote author= post=46565551]Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Dibu Ojerinde has declared as ‘unconstitutional’ and ‘illegal’ the Post-UTME examination conducted by tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
The JAMB boss added that the examination body was not responsible for scrapping the exercise adding that it was cancelled by the Minister of Education after due consultation.

He said these while featuring on Sunrise Daily, an early morning programme on Channels TV.

Noting that there is a difference between screening and test, he said that the initial agreement with institutions was to conduct screening exercise to determine their eligibility.

His words: “Nobody say you should not screen candidates. The screening involves checking of their certificates, subject combination, Jamb scores and other prerequisites to ensure that they meet up with the requirement. It is screening, not test.

“What government asked them to do right from the beginning is screening and not test. Former President Obasanjo said this when he was in power; ‘I did not ask you to conduct another exam, all I say is screen the candidates before they come in’ and that exactly is what the minister is talking about.”

Quoting some sections of the constitution, Ojerinde stressed further that the exercise is unconstitutional and has no legal basis.

“According to section 5, sub-section 1A of the constitution, the general control for the conduct of matriculation examination for admission into all the universities, polytechnics and Colleges of Education or whatever name called is vested in JAMB.

“Section 5, sub-section 2 also states; the board shall be responsible for determining matriculation requirements and conducting examination leading to undergraduate admission and also for admission into National Dipoma and National Certificate in Education, NCE.”

Ojerinde said that a uniform screening process will soon be developed.

http://www.edificationinfo.com/2016/06/post-utme-examination-is-illegal-jamb.html[/quote]Nigeria is the most confused, clueless and stupid country I know of. Whenever we encounter a problem or inefficiency or corruption in a system, instead of fixing that system, we create another lever of inefficiency and corruption to compound the initial problem!

We say WAEC was not good enough because of inefficiency and corruption, so we created NECO, another stratum of inefficiency and corruption creating more problem. Today, NECO is even worse than WAEC.
We say JAMB was not good enough, so we created post UTME, another level of corruption and exploitation. Yet post UTME is riddled with even more corruption and has not solved any problem!

Fix the problem where and when you find it, do not create another source for more problems!

CandyDiamond:
confusion in school, different colors of Hijab and Church robes, what a backward state

It all boils down to a useless, backward and religious fanatic of a governor!
I schooled in Osun State. Everything had been peaceful until the useless Aregbesola introduced Hijab to schools. He started all these nonsense!
How I wish this happened during my time. I would have put on egungun mask and regalia to school.

Foolish governor!

He should first return the N78million that he stole to build a personal website and others. Then we know he is serious.
Ole!

Lagos Light Rail Line is too costly compare to a similar project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia .

Please see below :


Addis Ababa Light Rail Project,Span : 34Km. Cost : $475m
number of Stations : 39
Project Tenure : 2011 - 2015

Status : The project is already completed and running effectively .

Lagos Light Rail project

Span : 27km
Cost : $1.2Bn
number of Stations : 13
project Tenure : 2010 till date
Status : not completed

Is the new 4th mainland bridge worth the cost?

Project inflation may be part, because the Fashola govt was extremely corrupt and was not for outrageously inflating contract prices. If a man can build a personal website for N78million, then you know what such person can do with a huge project. He also claimed to have spent about N8billion to renovate a 7 kilometer Western Avenue road. That tells you how deeply corrupt Fashola govt was!

But generally speaking, you need to consider the scope of work, topography, environmental factors and long-term planning when you compare project costs.
Ethiopia lies in the Sahel region (if I am not mistaken) and has a more plain topography. Lagos on the other hand lies in the Mangrove region with a lot of swampy lands. The costs of such project will be higher for Lagos
Again, the Lagos project is an after thought. It was never planned at the inception of the state. A lot of buildings/structures have to be demolished, reconstructed, compensations paid etc. The Ethiopia project will definitely be cheaper if it had been planned long ago before now because the government would ensure that people did not build structures along the corridor/space ear-marked for the project. The Lagos will involve a lot of structural changes to existing facilities!

The best comparison would be between similar projects situated at similar terrains, e.g. Lagos and Port Harcourt.

How many places will the rail serve?
The rail system in Lagos will still be grossly inadequate even if the Lagos state govt completes the projects because most of the hinterland will not be connected. It will only help to reduce the pressure and traffic jams on the roads. Majority of the people will still use the buses.
And then clueless governor builds bus stops that cannot function as real bus stops.

Ambode to me is on a better track than Fashola's govt. But let's hope he doesn't lose track.
