INEC Has Released All Allowances For NYSC,Ad-hoc Workers – Official

P opular singer, Abolore Akanda (9ice) recently contested for the Federal House of Representatives, Ogbomosho North/ Ogbomosho South/Orire Federal Constituency on the platform of his party, APC but lost out at the primaries.

He spoke with Vanguard Newspaper in an exclusive interview:

What’s the greatest lesson you’ve learnt from your
experience in politics?

I’ve learnt that Nigeria lacks leadership. It’s
‘moneyticians’ that they see, and they have no
choice but to follow whoever they see. During the
course of my campaign, I learnt a lot, and I got closer
to the people. I listened to their yearnings, and
realized that they want a lot of things, but are not
getting what they want.

I will also implore people who have the passion to
lead their people to offer themselves up for service.
The people that we have there now are not leaders;
they’re just there for whatever they’ll gain.

This is your first shot at politics, but what would you
say is your ultimate ambition?

My ultimate ambition in politics is to become the
governor of Oyo State. However, I’ll still run for the
Federal House of Representatives to serve my
constituency in the next election. I believe I can serve
in that position very well, and I also know that I stand
the chance to become the governor of Oyo State.

As the Special Adviser to the Oyo State governor on
Youths, what are your plans for the people of the
state?

My plans are to spring up so many ideas that I
already have at the back of my mind. Initiatives like
the Governor’s Cup in terms of Sports, and also by
organizing debates. The era of debates has died, and
I think we need to encourage the brilliant students
who have the capacity for that in Oyo State. I intend
to present such students to the governor so they can
be supported academically, and if the powers that be
support the idea, then I think we’re good to go.

How do you intend to combine your role as a public
official and an artiste?

I don’t think one disturbs the other. My political office is during the day as Abolore Akande, and music is performed at night by 9ice. I think I have already differentiated the two.

The Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) has said all funds for the payment of allowances of all National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) members and ad-hoc workers engaged for the 2015 general elections have been released to those affected.

The Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr
Kayode Idowu, stated this in an interview with the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in
Abuja.

Kayode said it was possible for some of ad-hoc
workers not to have received their money due to
error in the bank account details submitted for the
payment of such allowances.

He said that for the corps members, their money
was paid directly to the NYSC scheme even before
the elections.
“This was acknowledged by the Director-General of
the NYSC on the day INEC and officials of the
directorate held a joint news briefing.
“The D-G actually stated that the monies for corps
members have been paid to the scheme, for
onward payment to the corps members as agreed.
“They were to be paid an initial sum before the
election and the balance after the election. I am
very sure that the directorate has done that.
“For the non-NYSC members, they were requested
to submit their account details and they were also
paid an initial amount and then the balance after
the exercise. It is very likely that, this had been
done,’’ Idowu said.

He, however, admitted that there were isolated
reports that some ad-hoc workers had not been
paid their allowances.

Idowu said he had spoken with the Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC) of the affected
states, including Lagos, on the matter, saying most
of the outstanding cases were due to challenges
associated with submitted account details.

He said while it was compulsory to pay the money
through the bank, it was possible that some of the
submitted bank accounts may not be active.
“I also heard a REC speaking on television
explaining that people should bring their account
details as some of the details submitted were not
valid or correct which created a challenge in
accessing the accounts for payment.

I have heard cases that some people will write their
names but filled in their fathers account, such
account cannot be accessed because it is not the
father’s name that was there but theirs.
“That is why they had the challenge otherwise the
money had been paid out by the commission.’’

Also asked if the commission actually experienced
any financial challenge in the conduct of the 2015
general election, Idowu said that the budgeted
money was provided before the election.

The first she does that, we could say 'Oh, she was angry and unconscious'.

The second time she does that we can still find an excuse and call it coincidental, 'such will never happen again''! But the third time signifies intention. What I would have like to know which the OP didn't report is her actions afterward, maybe she use to sho remorse and apologize but all that doesn't matter anyway.

I have to salute that man's courage to manage the crisis he actually over-manage bad thing, he should have reported her to parents and relative after the 3rd occasion and warn that he's going t divorce (you don't have a wife if u got beaten by ur so called wife every now an then) her when such happen again.


He should not have allowed her break the covenant with God. I will suggest he divorce her!
not that he doesn't have the power to beat but he has vowed not to in his life and seeing the type of woman she is, he has to prove this point today.

Power supply from the Transmission Company of
Nigeria (TCN) has dropped from 2,979.06 Mega
Watts (MW) recorded last Sunday to 2,817.05MW on Tuesday, the Federal Ministry of Power said.

Supply by Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry,
according to the power statistics which the ministry
posted on its website yesterday, dipped by 162.01MW in the period under review.

Of the 2,880.72 MW that the Electricity Generation
Companies (Gencos) produced, the TCN wheeled
2,817.05 MW to the Electricity Distribution
Companies (Discos), leaving 63.67MW stranded in
transmission.

The electricity market, however, reached a peak of
3,114.60MW from the 2,893.7MW recorded last
Sunday, showing an increase of 220.9MW.

The Group Executive Director, Gas and Power,
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. David Ige, explained that the loss of 400 million
standard cubic feet per day (mscf/f) of gas and
reduction in water level at the hydro plants was
responsible for the decline in power supply.

According to him, some major pipelines were out of
operation because they were vandalised as
generation from Shiroro hydropower plant dropped to about 300MW due to inadequate water level.
Ige assured that once the water level hits about one
billion cubic feet a day (bscf/d), the electricity market would record a significant improvement.

The NNPC chief was quoted as saying: “At the
moment, gas supply to power stations is about one
billion cubic feet a day (bscf/d). Before the end of this year, we expect to see a significant increase as well. Cumulatively in the country, we are producing about two billion cubic feet of gas per day. Some of the gas we produce are available, but is probably stranded because some of the plants are not ready.
For example, we have got gas at Gbarian-Ubie power plant, commissioned shortly. We have gas at Omoku, which is awaiting the power plant. We have gas at Egbema power plant. When you bring all these volumes together, we have close to two billion cubic feet per day.”

But, the management of Abuja Electricity Distribution Company yesterday explained the
reason for the loss of electricity supply to some parts of its franchise area, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In a statement, the firm said the loss of power supply was as a result of the sharp drop in the quantum of power made available to it by the System Operator, which it said was attributable to a (partial) system collapse.

The company, however, said all concerned players in electricity supply industry, especially the generation and transmission companies, were already working on the system with a view to restoring supply as quickly as possible.

Pledging that it would immediately distribute the
load allocated to it by the System Operator, the
management appealed for the understanding of its
customers.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, on
Thursday, took one Adeogun Olajide before a Federal High Court in Lagos for allegedly importing 2.692 kilogrammes of cocaine into the country.

Olajide, said to be an official of the NDLEA, was taken before Justice Saliu Saidu along with one Adams Michael, a.k.a. Chidi, with whom he allegedly conspired to commit the crime.

The two men were arraigned on four counts bordering on importation of cocaine without lawful
authority.

The offence, according to the prosecution, was
contrary to sections 11(a) and 14(b) of the National
Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act Cap N30, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.

The prosecutor for the NDLEA, Augustine Nwagu,
alleged that the defendants committed the offence
between January and March 2015.

The prosecution alleged that the accused persons
were found in possession of 2.092kg of cocaine on
February 24, 2015 at the Murtala Mohammed
International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.

NDLEA also alleged that another 600 grammes of the illicit substance, believed to be imported, were found on the accused persons on March 8, 2015.

But upon reading the four counts to them before
Saidu, both Olajide and Michael denied the claims as they pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Following their plea, the NDLEA prosecutor urged the court to allow the men be remanded in the agency’s custody pending when investigations into the matter would be concluded.

“My Lord, in view of the plea of the accused persons, may we humbly ask the court to order the remand of the accused persons at the NDLEA facility pending the conclusion of investigation into this case; investigation is still ongoing,” Nwagu said.

However, lawyer for the accused persons, Mr. Benson Ndakara, while pointing out that his clients had been in the custody of the agency since March, urged that they should be allowed to go on bail.

Saidu, however, remanded the accused persons in
the NDLEA’s custody for seven days, pending the
conclusion of investigations.

The judge said if the investigation was not concluded within the time, the court would have no other option but to hear the defendants’ bail application.

He subsequently adjourned further proceedings in
the matter till May 14, 2015.

Family members angry; wife gets bag of rice,
beverages

By Esther Onyegbula

LAGOS—The 45-year-old commercial driver, Saturday
Akpomose, who was attacked by seven dogs at Ajah
area of Lagos State, has received N30,000 and a job
offer from the owner of the dogs.

However, his family members expressed anger when
they heard that Akpomose collected money from the
dogs’ owner, who is a soldier.

Vanguard learned that the victim, who was admitted
at Akodo General Hospital after the attack, was
discharged on Friday, May 1, after about eleven days.

It was gathered that before the victim was
discharged from the hospital, he demanded N5
million compensation from the soldier, but was
persuaded and later given N30,000 to take care of
himself, while a bag of rice and beverages were also
given to his wife.

When Vanguard visited Akpomose in his residence,
he said the money given to him was not a pay-off, as
the man had promised to further take good care of
him and his family.

He said: “I believe you saw all the injuries on my
body. They have not healed completely. I collected
the money from him because I am not a troublesome
person. I have left everything to God.
‘How I defended myself’
“When the dogs
attacked me, I tried to protect my
neck, my private
parts and my
stomach, because

I knew if the dogs
touch any part of
these places, I am
gone.
“That was one of
the reasons I decided to settle
out of court with
the owner of the
dogs. If I had died my family member would have
collected the money and enjoyed it.

“However, I cannot work with him. All I want him to
do for me is to assist me in my hotel business. How
can I start waiting for salary at this stage, when I
have grown up children who are in the university to
cater for?”

When Vanguard visited the house where the dogs are
domiciled, the Chief Security Officer working in the
building, who identified himself simply as Victor, said
the matter had been settled out of court.

He said: “After we footed his medical bill, he was
demanding N5 million from my boss to set up a
business and feed his children, claiming that he
cannot work now due to the injuries all over his body.

Family’s ritual claim

‘’But to our surprise, after the incident, Akpomose’s
family members came to our house and started
accusing us of using him for ritual. They claimed that
after the incident, we slaughtered four cows and
rams to appease the gods in the house.

“We have told his family members, who are
threatening us with law suit, that after settling with
the victim, they should go ahead with whatever they
want to do because we have done our best.

“My boss gave him a bag of rice and some beverages
to take care of the children.”

It would be recalled that in the early hours of
Tuesday, April 22, seven dogs, allegedly owned by a
captain serving in the US marine, were reportedly
being taken out of the compound to ease themselves
when they attacked Akpomose.

It took the intervention of residents and passers-by
to rescue him from the dogs.

The incident was later reported at Ogombo Police
Division, which referred Akpomose to the General
Hospital at Akodo, Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area
due to the severity of the injuries he sustained.

1. Mrs Loneliness:

Your husband is out there looking for your means of livelihood, you shouldn't be cheating on him. Though, I'm often critical of men who travel for long period of time putting their wife in the mercy of other men. Mrs. Loneliness can always find something to keep herself busy!



2. Mrs. Excitement:

You are not ready for marriage if you call it dull
, you better go back to the street and enjoy yourself man instead of cheating on that man. Marriage is sacred and it's about making sacrifice.

3. Mrs. Paypack:

I have just one word for you, 'an eye for an eye will make the nation go blind'.

4. Mrs Sex Urge:

I quite speechless there, your husband actually fall my hand.

5. Mrs Ex. Factor:
I have you and your parents to blame here, and your husband should not suffer for that. Besides, you ought to know that we may not always get married to the person we truly love. It's alway like, the man you are running to might be a beast if you had been married to him.

Will those sacked be re-appointed?

Keneking:
Under Buhari's government, whatever that has gone up would come down...

All promotions that were hurriedly packaged would be hurriedly demoted...
All pump prices that have gone up would be brought down...
All those that have victimised their opponents to emerge Tops would be reversed.

It's always like that, that's the number 1 rule on the wall of successful individuals. Never to quit!

Amazing pictures!

He was so tactful and diplomatic in his tweet. One thing I like about this man inspite his cluelessness is that he always 'pastorize' everything he says. He often mention God!

The Lagos State Government said it paid more than
N535m as examination and administration fees for
42,995 pupils writing the 2015 West African Senior
Secondary Certificate Examination in the state.

Four new secondary schools were also constructed in the last one year, while three laboratories were
installed in 32 public secondary schools across the
state.

The Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka
Oladunjoye, said this at the annual ministerial press
briefing in Lagos.

Oladunjoye said the newly established schools
included Sango Junior Secondary School, Agege;
Ajara Comprehensive Senior Secondary School,
Ajara-Topa; Community Senior Secondary School,
Orisumbare, Ayobo, Alimosho; and District Senior
College, Meiran, Alimosho .

According to her, some of the highlights of the
programmes of the government in the education
sector include the introduction of Saturday coaching in core subjects such as Mathematics and English, as well as the procurement and distribution of 524,219 books to public junior and senior secondary schools in the state.

“The state government has upgraded its French
Language Centres to multilingual centres for the
teaching, learning and promotion of foreign
languages other than French.

About 400 teachers were trained in ICT curriculum
just as Mathematics trainings/clinics were held for 14 teachers across the six education districts in the
state on modern and innovative techniques of
teaching mathematics at the National Mathematics
Center, Kwali, Abuja.

“This clinic/training has since been cascaded to other teachers in the state, as another 442 Mathematics teachers were trained in the process. Let me stress that this was part of government’s ongoing efforts to improve the teaching and learning of Mathematics in schools with a view to achieving improved performances in internal and external examinations,’’ she said.

In his remarks, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Lateef Ibirogba, said the education sector was the bedrock of human development.

GAIDAM, Nigeria -- Niger troops have deported more than 3,000 Nigerian fishermen and refugees
escaping Boko Haram, forcing them to undertake a brutal three- day trek in which at least a dozen
people died, an official and witnesses said Wednesday.

The refugees said they were compelled to return to Nigeria after Boko Haram last week attacked an island in Lake Chad.

The Nigerians said soldiers arrived at the fishing village of Lelewa and ordered them to leave. Niger
officials did not immediately respond to request for comment.

On Monday, Niger said it was planning a military operation in the area to rout Boko Haram extremists and ordered its citizens to move further inland.
Nigeria's National Emergency

Management Agency said it was alerted by Niger and sent trucks to collect the exhausted refugees at
the border.

The agency's Charles Otegbabe, director of search and rescue, registered the new arrivals in Gaidam town, in the northeastern Borno state.

"We thought there would be about 2,000 but we have already registered more than 3,000 and
there are still more people coming," he told The Associated Press.

The refugees said hundreds more were on their way.
"They didn't even give us time to collect our clothes. We had to abandon everything," said Lubabatu Isa, a 21-year-old carrying a baby strapped to her back.

Isa and Nura Auwal, another refugee, said about a dozen people died during the three-day walk to
the border. Auwal said they included a woman, Fatima Hassan, and her newborn twins.

"There was no water. It was very hot. They collapsed and died. Nobody had any energy left to help
them and we just had to leave them in the bush," said a distressed Auwal, 22.

Niger is hosting more than 100,000 other Nigerian refugees who have fled Boko Haram and who apparently are being allowed to remain in camps outside the Lake Chad area.
