The proposed Centenary Village, an ultra-
modern city within the FCT to mark the 100 years
of the Nigerian nationhood, will cost N3.2 trillion,
retired Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar said on
Monday.
Abubakar, who is Chairman of the Board of
Centenary Village Plc, disclosed this while
presenting a report to President Goodluck
Jonathan at the State House in Abuja.
The Centenary Village Plc is a public liabilities
company to be jointly set up by the private
companies which will finance the project.
The former military Head of State, who led other
members of the company’s board to the
Presidential Villa, said the Centenary Village would
be wholly financed by the private sector.
Abubakar said the board had in the report also
requested President Jonathan to grant certain
concessions to the private investors who are
willing and ready to be part of the project.
“Specifically, government should make the land
for the project available with the status of an
export free zone.
“Tax holiday should also be granted to the
investors for equipment and materials to be
imported for the projects, among others,’’ he
said.
President Jonathan thanked Abubakar and other
members of the company’s board for the work
done so far.
He said the presentation by Abubakar was not
only “fascinating’’ but reassuring that “our dream
that we will get a city better than Abuja is
gradually coming to fruition’’.
Jonathan said the centenary city would be
planned in a way where the infrastructure would
be centralised.
“People living there will not need to drill borehole
or get personal cylinder for gas, and the
management of solid waste and other
environmental issues will be centralised,’’ he said
“It is a big dream but we are hopeful that we are
getting close.
“With the board’s commitment and the
commitment of government, we will get there.’’
Jonathan assured that he would consult with
relevant cabinet ministers on the requests made
by the company’s board before giving approvals
and directives.
Meanwhile, Abubakar in an interview with
newsmen after the presentation, said he was in
support of the national dialogue being planned by
the federal government.
“It is better to `jaw-jaw’ than to `war-war’,’’ he
had said.
NAN recalls that Jonathan had in a broadcast on
Oct. 1 to mark Nigeria’s 53rd Independence Day
Anniversary announced the setting up of an
advisory committee on a national dialogue.(NAN)

new paparazzi: Which one is glo welcome back? Is it a new plan?

No its not a new plan. its been on for a while now, only that one doesn't migrate to d plan just like that as pple get migrated automatically and randomly too by glo. They used to charge 10k/s on calls made and 2k/s to one registered family and friend number. But they slashed all those and brought in force the 20k/s charges to all networks, family n frnd's number inclusive.

I noticed since last week that calls made to a registered family and friend number on the glo welcome back auto plan was being billed at 20k/secs, So I took to twitter to confirm from their online cc, and behold I just received this reply from glo via my DM, "Calls on welcome back are charged at 20k//sec for all numbers." Wonder who else is experiencing this?

Where can I get the Jiayu G4s in 9ja? And what's the price, biko?

With only some 50 years of independent
national existence, Nigeria is a country reeking
with “new money.” The overwhelming
proportion of the millionaires and billionaires in
the country are “nouveau-riche;” they became
rich literally “overnight.” We are talking of
people whose wealth does not go beyond a
generation.
Indeed, the fantastic wealth of Nigerian
billionaires like Femi Otedola scarcely goes
beyond ten/fifteen years. Not only does
Nigeria’s wealthy few have a short history, they
often have a short future as well. The money
comes “miraculously” and goes just as
“miraculously.”
In my youth, S.B. Bakare was the celebrated
Nigerian tycoon. Highlife stars and juju
musicians eulogised him in their records. But
ask a young Nigerian today who S.B. Bakare is,
and I can bet my bottom dollar he has never
heard of him.
S.B. has fallen off the radar and so has his
wealth. It is not identifiable by any major
industry or enterprise. His descendants may
still be in litigation over the dregs of his estate,
but undoubtedly it is nothing to write home
about again. Certainly, nobody is singing
about S.B. Bakare today. There are now new
pretenders to his throne.
New dawn
Time was when wealthy Nigerians built
something, developed something, or made
something. At that time, the rich were truly
captains of industry. Alhaji Sanusi Dantata
made his fortune in the era of the groundnut
pyramids in the North; buying and shipping
them for export.
Sir Odumegwu Ojukwu had Nigeria’s largest
fleet of inter-city “mammy-wagons.” He also
imported “panla” (dried fish) on a large scale.
Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony had a tanker fleet
and a pioneering charter airline. Emmanuel
Akwiwu, hauled oil-rigs and supplies for British
Petroleum. Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola
produced bicycle tires for the growing army of
Nigerian bike-riders.
But thanks to oil, much of Nigerian wealth is no
longer the product of such ventures. Yes, we
have billionaires like Ibrahim Dasuki and Mike
Adenuga who can still be rightfully described
as highly enterprising. But even more
significantly, we have tycoons who came into
wealth through “wuru-wuru” and “mago-
mago.” These men are hardly Nigeria’s Bill
Gates.
On the contrary, they don’t have a clue what
to do with their dubious wealth, and they are
ignorant about wealth-creation. As such, they
add little of value to the Nigerian project. Their
praises may be sung today by their horde of
parasitical hangers-on, but they will not be
remembered for good when they are gone. As
mysteriously as their wealth materialised, so
will it vanish.
These men became rich through some of the
following tried and tested methods, which can
be relied upon to lead to one’s inclusion in the
Nigerian Book of Irrelevant Rich Men. If you
want to get rich quick, here is the Nigerian
blueprint. But please, don’t tell anyone I “wiki-
leaked” this highly-classified national secret to
you.
Rob a bank
This strategy has gone through some
transition. Bank-robbers used to be men of the
underworld who held banks hostage at
gunpoint and then made off with the cash.
However, it was soon recognised that this
approach has distinct disadvantages. You
might get arrested and jailed. Even worse, you
might get shot. It also became apparent that
banks carry limited amounts of cash.
Therefore, a successful bank robbery of this
violent kind might only land you perhaps 50
million naira tops, which is not even enough to
buy or build a house in Banana Island. There is
a better way to rob a bank with far limited
risk. Simply establish a bank.
When you establish a bank, you can rob the
bank every day without a gun. When people
deposit money in your bank, they don’t know
that they are handing over their life-savings to
a thief. You then rob the bank you establish in
a number of imaginative ways.
For example, you can lend money to your bank
and then charge it a very high interest-rate.
Better still, you can borrow billions from your
bank and simply forget to pay it back. Or, you
can use the money deposited in your bank to
buy houses and then rent them out as
branches to your bank at exorbitant prices.
This approach is guaranteed to make you a few
billion naira until the EFCC policemen come
calling. When they do, you can quickly fall
sick, spend a few months in Deluxe Hospital
Hotel and then relocate to your village to enjoy
your wealth, never to be heard of again.
Join the PDP.
This one is a sure banker. As a member of the
greatest party in the history of Africa, you will
be given a credit-card to spend Nigeria’s oil
wealth. If you are not getting enough
attention in the party, make a lot of noise.
Abuse Tinubu on the pages of the newspapers
and call Buhari an idiot.
Insist that Goodluck Jonathan should not only
run for re-election unopposed in 2015, there
should be a constitutional amendment to make
him a life-president. This is a tell-tale sign that
you are hungry; and the powers-that-be will
soon invite you to “come and chop.”
As a distinguished member of this great party,
the opportunities open for you to set yourself
up for life are considerable. For example, you
can start collecting billions for petroleum
subsidy and simply not import any petrol
whatsoever. You can get the government to
change all car license-plates nationwide; and
then become the sole supplier of the new
license-plates.
You can ask the president to make you the sole
importer and distributor of diesel for the entire
country. Of course, this might also entail that
you become the chairman of his re-election
campaign, to which you duly make a
handsome contribution. Alternatively, you can
ask to be chairman of the Nigerian Ports
Authority.
Nobody will bat an eyelid when, within a
matter of months, you have a fleet of cars,
have two or three houses in Asokoro, and own
four hotels in Dubai.
You may even kick out your wife and marry a
fourteen-year-old “Suzie” befitting your new
status. You have arrived as one of Nigeria’s
celebrated rich men. But keep your eyes on
the ball. Don’t get distracted or carried away.
The enemies of Mr. President must always
remain your enemies.
Start a mega-church
This one is pure genius. Peradventure you lose
your job or fall on hard times. Don’t go into
depression. Just start a church. Make it a
purpose-built church. Think of something that
men need. Tell them you have the anointing
to provide it. Tell them whoever wants to be a
billionaire should come to your church. Start a
few of your messages with “Thus says the
Lord.” Then teach your congregation the
everlasting principles of sowing and reaping.
Make sure they understand that if they really
want God to bless them financially, they first
have to give you as much money as possible.
Create a special prayer group for millionaires
and billionaires. That way, if they get any new
government contract they will attribute it to
the efficacy of your prayers and credit
something big into your bank account. Tell
everybody to give you their “first-fruits.”
That is a code word for their entire January
salaries. Then come up with imaginative
offerings to collect, such as “prophet’s
offering,” (you, of course, being the prophet);
“Father, Son and Holy Ghost offerings;” “Jesus
will do it offering.”
Very soon, you will be flying your own private
jet to preach your gospel in Ilesha; you will be
wearing white Armani suits and jerry-curling
your hair; you will be collecting gate-fees for
new years’ eve services; billionaire thieves and
robbers will be queuing up to see your private-
secretary on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. In
short, you will be living large. For good
measure, you will also be slapping demons out
of poor bewitched damsels with impunity.
Become a mule
There is high demand for this job. There are
many politicians and men of timber and caliber
looking for mules; men who can keep stolen
money for them, or smuggle it to safe havens
abroad. This is a highly lucrative job because
for every ten billion naira you smuggle, you can
pocket one billion. Don’t get greedy and come
to the conclusion that you can make off with
the entire loot.
That is a sure way to have assassins on your
tail. Before they kill you, they will first break
your legs. If you are caught while smuggling
money abroad, you can easily escape and
come back home dressed as a woman. Then
you can get a national merit award.
If you are a mule for a president or a governor,
you are set up for life. You will get 24 hours
military protection so that no petty thief can
come near you. You will get to travel all over
the world. You will get free medical check-ups,
so that you don’t just fall down one day and
die.
That would be disastrous, especially if your
sponsor does not know exactly where you kept
his loot, or if he does not have the password to
the secret account you opened for it in the
Bahamas in the name of Ali Baba.
Obituary
I remember the story of a former Nigerian Head
of State who allegedly kept a billion dollars with
a mule. Then the mule had a stroke. Every
effort was made to get him to say just a few
words, namely the number of the account
where the loot was stashed; but to no avail.
After a few months, the man died. This
“national” calamity has prompted the review of
the conditions of service of mules. There are
now two new, strictly prohibited, clauses.
Mules must not have strokes, and under no
circumstances should a mule presume to die.
If he does, his generations yet unborn will
suffer for it.

The Nigeria Baptist Conference at the weekend
said the democratic structure currently being
run in the country was too expensive and
needed to be reviewed in order to make funds
available for critical projects that would have
positive impacts on the lives of Nigerians.
The President of the Ondo State Conference of
the Church, Rev John Ayo Oladapo, stated this in
Akure at a news conference to herald the 2013
conference in session that would begin today at
Beulah Baptist Church, Ore, Odigbo Local
Government.
Oladapo said the current structure was being run
at the expense of developmental projects, saying
the salaries of political appointees should be
reduced to actually know who have genuine
mind of serving the people.
He noted that many people are into politics today
due to the huge money being paid to elected
and appointed officers and not because they
have the spirit of service.
Specifically, the clergy said the legislature should
be on part-time basis and that lawmakers should
be on allowance.
Also, Oladapo said the number of aides to
political appointees and elected officers should
be reduced critically so that money being spent
to maintain them can be used for developmental
projects.
“The practice of appointing too many aides
should be stopped. The unending list of aides
should be discontinued. We have too many
Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants, Senior
Special Assistants and Personal Assistants."
“By the time one calculates the salaries,
allowances and costs of logistics being given to
these appointees many of whom are not doing
anything in the real sense of it, one can see that
a lot of money is
being spent on running of government alone and
at the expense of the
essence of government,” he said.
While congratulating Governor Olusegun Mimiko
for his victory at the Supreme Court, Oladapo
said now that the hurdle of election
litigations had been finally crossed, the governor
should settle down
with more commitment to the goal of delivering
dividends of democracy
to the people irrespective of political divides.
“We also call for cooperation by all and sundry for
the governor to
make steady progress. Let’s put the past behind
and work together to
take Ondo State to greater heights,” he added.
Oladapo said as Nigeria prepares for 2014
centenary celebrations and
the 2015 general election, there should be
modesty in spending.
“Our primary focus should be how an average
Nigerian can receive a
better deal from his or her country through
provisions of capacities
to enhance their lots with a view to standing
them in good stedd for
contributing meaningfully to national
development,” he said.
He also called on the federal government and
agencies concerned to find a lasting solution to
the crisis in the education sector as it
affects the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff
Union of Universities
(ASUU).
Oladapo said there cannot be progress when the
nation’s education was in disarray.

The recent introduction of the Gionee Pioneer P2 budget end smartphone informed my concluding that Gionee have come to stay, and could possibly usurp Tecno as the most selling OEM in Nigeria in the not too distant future. Now, why I based my conclusion on the introduction of the P2 is that, I've noticed the amount of people willing to willing to jump ship from Tecno (P3, L3, M3 etc) to the Gionee P2 especially.

These though are my take, and I could be wrong. What's your position on this?

NB: Basing my assumptions on demand only, as when it comes to specs and stuff, one can't even begin to compare. 'Tho even the software ish is still open to debate...., so you could drive home your point using any related area.
