The Nigerian Postal Services said it has
intercepted about 159 scam letters
containing counterfeit financial
instruments and other prohibited items
worth N13.647 billion within the past
nine months.

The Post Master General of the
organization, Mallam Ibrahim Mori
Baba disclosed this last week at a press
conference to mark the 2014 World Post
day celebration in Abuja.

This came as the NIPOST boss also
disclosed that a total of 2,060 staff from
grade level 03-16 were promoted in the
organisation across the federation
between January and September this
year, as an incentive to motivate staff
moral and to reverse the ongoing trend
of irregular staff promotion in NIPOST.

He said the N13.647 worth of items
intercepted was achieved as a result of
physical inspection of document and
postal packets being transmitted
through NIPOST between January and
September 2014, saying that the effort
was spurred by the new drive by the
management of the Post to revive and
sustain a viable Postal services across
the country.

According to him, the celebration of
October 9 as World Post Day on 9
October each year is a tradition that has
already become firmly rooted in the
postal landscape, as Postal
administrations take advantage of this
day to sensitize government authorities
and the public on the role of the Post in
national development.

Following series of brainstorming on
how to move the Postal Industry
forward, the PMG said the management
identified some key priorities for urgent
actions for the year running, among
which include improvement of quality of
service; change in Post business culture;
product diversification; mail traffic
handling and revival of letter writing
culture in Nigeria.

As part of measures to improve quality
of service, Baba said the management
has embarked on the acquisition of
modern transportation means for
conveyance of domestic and
international mails following the ban on
the use of motor Cycles. And to ensure
success in the effort to improve quality
of postal services, he said IT systems
had been supplied to all major Post
offices as well as the training of all
operations for tracking and tracing of
mail processing mainly in domestic
operations.

With the rise of global e-commerce, the
NIPOST boss said the management had
repackaged NIPOST workshop as a
commercial venture with the capacity to
generate revenue to run its operations
as a way of diversifying their products.

In the area of mail traffic handling, he
said a significant improvement in the
number of mail items handled by the
organization from January 2014
compared to the number of traffic
handled in the same period in 2013.
According to him, a total 24,213,750
mail items were handled as against
19,688,220 in 2013 and of the total
traffic handled, 16,144,778 items were
posted within the country whereas
1,132,715 were dispatched abroad,
while 6,936,257 were received from
abroad.

On the plans to revive letter writing
culture in Nigeria, the PMG said
NIPOST is collaborating with the
ministry of education and the Nobel
Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka to
encourage school children and reverse
the trend, adding that the collaboration
between the NIPOST and the Central
bank of Nigeria, CBN is still on course to
identify the best way in which the assets
and resources of the NIPOST could be
utilized to attain the country’s financial
inclusion target.

Other areas of intervention according to
him, is ongoing a consultation with the
Auditor General of the Federation and
Accountant General of the Federation to
explore the potentials of Stamp Duty
and turn it into a viable source of
revenue to the government.

We heard that only women are
selective when it comes to dating men, but the truth is that men are equally
demanding when it comes to choosing the right girl.

These are the types of women who like
men:

*Miss Sweet

It is a genuine person without a single
evil bone in his body. Men do their best
to spend time with her. Women of this
type are rare. But if men are one, have
a real treasure in their hands.

*Miss Independent
This is a good woman if you do not
have much time to invest in a
relationship or you’re the type of
person who needs lots of space. She’s
the kind of girl who wants a man in her
life, but does not need a man in her
life. And certainly not looking for a
man to solve all their problems or
blame when things do not go as she
planned.

*Miss Sexual
Men feel very lucky to find one. Miss
Sexual loves men, loves sex and does
not refrain from it. She uses it as a tool
to manipulate men, she just naturally
craves it. Men love it because it’s a
free spirit who is really honest about
their sexual desire.

"...and to educate non-Muslims that they have nothing to fear," he said."

I guess none of the true Christians who have commented saw that part. May God save us from traditionalists who only think they are Christians because they go to church! Mtscheew

By the way, I am a Christian and my Bible told me of kings like Cyrus who though were evil, God used them for His purpose in the life of the Israelites. Until we learn to know, speak and act the truth, we will NEVER make progress in Nigeria.

Comment of the Century!

I'm non partisan but I can say with all audacity that this a well timed propaganda.

However, Buhari lack knowledge of the Quran if he had at a point truly say this.

Maybe they should give us power in exchange, but I believe our so called leaders will opt for money in return.

This is not a sad tale from a Nollywood movie.

In 2010, 19 year old Elizabeth Ehis (not real name), had the world at her feet. She was writing her West African Secondary School Certificate Examinations, WASSCE, hoping to fulfill her life-long dream of becoming an accountant. However, life took a different
turn when she lost her father to the cold hands of death before finishing her exams.

In spite of this, Elizabeth, the first of four children, forged ahead and gained admission into the University of Benin in 2012. Things were tough for her widowed mother. But sending Elizabeth to the university was top priority for her. Her mother would never have guessed that disastrous blend of harsh conditions, bad company and wrong choices would lead Elizabeth into prostitution.

Her mother would not know that Elizabeth told our reporters her story from a brothel. Her bad company came in the person of a friend she calls Stephanie. She said: “I met Stephanie during our Matriculation ceremony in the school, we were and still are in the same department. But we did not really become close until we met at the party where we got talking and exchanged contacts. At first, I thought she was into lesbianism because of the way she was asking me about myself.

Later she told me that, I did not deserve the kind of poor life style I was living in school and that I needed to upgrade myself.
She introduced me to some friends who would call me when there was a party to attend. At one of the parties we attended, they introduced me to some ‘big’ men.

At first I did not understand what was happening, until it was obvious that each girl had been paired up to have sex with an
old man. I was very reluctant about that and I angrily left the party.

The next day in school, she was so angry with me and asked me why I behaved like that. After much convictions and persuasions, I succumbed to what she asked for.
My first night was with a man who had just come from Malaysia and after a long night of sex, he gave me N10, 000. Though I was happy because, I was not used to getting that kind of money at once, I was angry because, the guy used me very rough in the night.

He had so much energy and he never allowed me to sleep. He took me on more than five times and I was very weak.” she narrated. After that first night, she never turned back from the
trade. “I became used to the whole thing, and I was collecting more than N5, 000 per night. I had to give a cut to the person who brought me deals, and send some money back home.”

She says that if she finds a better source of income, she will desist from the trade.
But this is her life for now.

@OP, I really commend ur ability to permutate. Give me the permutation that Arsenal will win Champions League and Man Utd winning the premier league.

I will like to sing!

If I say Stephen, u will say Koshi!

Through heavy investment in
agriculture, the Federal Government
has now reduced the cost of importing
food items into the country by $2 billion,
the Vice President, Alhaji Namadi
Sambo, said in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State
capital.

The Vice-President spoke at the
weekend during the official opening of
Lifetime Africa Achievement Prize
Economic Forum in the state, saying
reducing the cost of importing food into
the country was achieved by
encouraging the production of between
1.5 million and 2 million tonnes of rice
locally.

Also, Sambo disclosed that the federal
government had released a take-off
grant of N220 billion to support small
medium enterprises in the country.
According to him, in the last three
years, the federal government has
established 12 new, functional
universities in the country to address
specific areas of development.

On the control of Ebola Virus Disease,
he said President Goodluck Jonathan
took the outbreak of the disease
seriously and assured of the country’s
readiness to support other countries in
the world to eradicate the disease.
Commenting on electricity supply,
Sambo pointed out that the President
had prioritised power supply and hoped
that by 2018-2020, Nigeria would
produce about 20,000 megawatts for
transmission.

He lauded the State Governor, Chief
Godswill Akpabio for hosting the
foundation which coincided with the
celebration of 100 years millennium goal
and its 54th independence anniversary
and for transforming the state through
such major infrastructure as roads,
airport, sea port, security, health and
education, among others.

Governor Akpabio had thanked
President Jonathan and Vice President
Sambo for the proper handling of Ebola
disease and the sending of about 500
health workers to Sierra Leone to help
control the disease.

Earlier, the President of Millennium
Excellence Foundation, James Victor
Gbeho, had said the forum was meant to
generate ideas for the development of
Africa, saying the choice of hosting the
forum in Uyo was to showcase the
achievements of Akwa Ibom State and to
let the world have a glimpse of
infrastructural development for other
states and countries to emulate.

The Court of Appeal will on October 20
hear an appeal challenging the adoption
of President Goodluck Jonathan as the
consensus presidential candidate of
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead
of next year’s general election. The
application was filed by a former PDP
governorship aspirant in Adamawa
State, Dr. Umar Ardo, who has
indicated interest in contesting the
presidential election on the platform of
the party.

Ardo is urging the appeal court to grant
him leave, as an interested party, to be
joined in an earlier suit decided at the
high court between one Cyriacus Njoku,
a member of PDP, and Jonathan, so as
to use the particulars of the case to
challenge the president’s emergence as
PDP’s sole candidate.

Njoku had in suit no. FCT/HC/
CV/2449/2012 at the Abuja High Court
contested Jonathan’s eligibility for the
February 14, 2015 presidential election,
having been sworn in twice as president.
But the court ruled on March 1 last year
that Jonathan was eligible to contest the
2015 presidential election. Njoku
appealed the ruling, but the appeal is
yet to be decided.
Now Ardo wants to rely on the
particulars of the case to sue the
president and his party for adopting him
as sole candidate for the coming
presidential election.

Documents obtained from the Court of
Appeal at the weekend by THISDAY in
appeal no CA/A/574A/M2013 stated,
“Take notice that the above mentioned
motion appeal/judgement has been
listed for hearing before the Court of
Appeal Abuja sitting at the 3 Arms Zone
on Monday, October 20, 2014 at 9am.”
The notice of appeal, dated October 10,
was signed by the Senior Registrar of
the Abuja Division of the Court of
Appeal.

Ardo is urging the Court of Appeal to
quash the September 18 resolution of
the PDP National Executive Committee
that endorsed Jonathan as the sole
presidential candidate of PDP in next
year’s election. The endorsement had
followed similar approvals by the PDP
Governors’ Forum and the party’s Board
of Trustees. Ardo claimed that his
fundamental human rights as a Nigerian
and a financial member of PDP had been
breached by such endorsement of
Jonathan by the NEC and other organs
of the party.

In the appeal filed September 23 by Dr.
Amuda Kannike (SAN) and Doueyi
Fiderikumo on behalf of Ardo, he
alleged that the decision of the lower
court raised “grave points of
constitutional law and jurisprudence
that is the first of its kind in Nigeria.”

The affidavit deposed to by Ardo read, “I
am desirous of contesting the election to
the office of President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria which is slated to
hold on or before February 2015 and my
desire is mainly built on my conviction
that the president would not be eligible
to contest the said election which would
have cleared the way for a free and fair
level playing ground contest for the
party primaries.”

Meanwhile, PDP on Friday commenced
the sale of nomination forms to
aspirants wishing to vie for positions in
the coming general elections. The
national headquarters of the party in
Abuja was yesterday thronged with
chairmen of the party from states across
the country, who had came to collect the
forms for all categories of aspirants
except those for the governorship.

However, there were indications at the
weekend that All Progressives Congress
might have finally resolved to conduct
an open primary election to pick its
presidential candidate for next year’s
election.

The decision to jettison the idea of a
compromise candidate followed
discussions by the presidential aspirants
and leading power brokers in the party
to try to agree on a power-sharing
arrangement that would reduce the
winner-takes -all tendency and its
potential acrimonies. The party also
appears to have brought forward to
November its presidential primary
earlier scheduled for December 2.

At a meeting Thursday night at the
Rivers State Governors Lodge, in Abuja,
stakeholders of the party were said to
have unanimously agreed to go ahead
with primaries, resolving to set aside all
considerations for a consensus
candidate or automatic ticket. They also
reaffirmed the party's position to
commence the sale of presidential
nomination forms on October 13.

Former Head of State, General
Muhammadu Buhari, ex-Vice President
Atiku Anubakar, Kano Sate Governor
Rabiu Kwakwanso, former Kwara State
Governor Bukola Saraki, Imo State
Governor Rochas Okorocha, and
newspaper publisher Sam Nda-Isaiah
are the major presidential aspirants in
APC.

The party’s NEC recently adopted the
modified direct primaries. But this has
caused division between the camps of
Buhari and Atiku. While Buhari and his
supporters have called for the adoption
of a consensual arrangement as
stipulated in Article 20 of the APC
constitution and section 87(6) of the
Electoral Act, as amended, Atiku has
insisted on allowing contestants to face
each other in a transparent presidential
primary.

A source within APC told THISDAY in
confidence that the plan to move the
presidential primary to November was
to enable the party tackle the internal
dissensions, including the fallouts of the
national convention.

The source said, “As part of the logistic
plans, it is the general consensus that
the December 2 date is too close to
enable a genuine reconciliation meeting
on the outcome of the presidential
primary election. The consensus is that
the National Executive Committee will
meet not later than Tuesday to agree on
the modalities for the shift from
December 2 to second week of
November.

“In the meeting of the caucus last week,
where the idea to revisit some of the
modalities of the presidential primary
was discussed, it was agreed that no
presidential primary would go without
conflict. So the idea of an earlier date is
to give room for reconciliation, hence
the decision to shift the date to
November.”

Should Nigeria keep Stephen Keshi after recent result?

It is worthy of reminder that Stephen Keshi declare recently that he isn't desperate for Eagles job, and the newly elected NFF chairman made it clear that there is the possibility of signing a foreign manager.

What's your take?
Should Keshi be saked?
Should we sign a foreign coach or look for another coach from within?
