In a bid to give palliative measures to the hardships of the people in the nation, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has announced the launching of food banks across the country.
This he said while addressing his church members at the headquarters of the church in Canaanland, Ota on Sunday March 3rd, 2024.

Oyedepo said, “In recognition of the challenges facing the rest of the world, particularly in our country, the church by the prompting of the Holy Spirit is opening food banks along our various districts and clothing stocks. No member must beg for bread. No member must go naked. No children must go in rags.”

He also encouraged members to donate items to the food banks as God gives them grace. He said, “Put them together in our various districts, a bag of rice, half bag, one quarter a jar of oil, whatever you have for that is the New Testament Church”. Many have baby dresses stacked up in their house, bring them out. Mathew 25 v 30-40 is coming back where we are called to clothe the naked, visit the sick, and provide for the hungry.”

The Minister of Solid Minerals, Mr. Dele Alake, has unveiled a comprehensive agenda aimed at transforming the Nigeria Solid Minerals sector, with a focus on enhancing international competitiveness and fostering domestic prosperity. This agenda consists of seven key initiatives:
Creation of the Nigerian Solid Minerals Corporation: The ministry will establish the Nigerian Solid Minerals Corporation to oversee and coordinate activities in the sector effectively. This corporation will likely play a central role in implementing various policies and initiatives.

Joint Ventures with Mining Multinationals: Collaborating with international mining companies through joint ventures can bring in much-needed expertise, technology, and investment to boost the sector’s growth and development.

Big Data on Priority Minerals: The ministry will gather comprehensive data on seven priority minerals, which are Gold, Coal, Limestone, Bitumen, Lead, Iron-ore, and Baryte. This data will be valuable for decision-making, investment attraction, and planning.

30-Day Grace Period for Illegal Miners: A grace period of 30 days will be granted to illegal miners to transition into legal artisanal cooperatives, encouraging them to operate within the bounds of the law.

Mines Surveillance Task Force and Mine Police: Enhanced security measures will be implemented in the solid minerals sector. This includes the establishment of a Mine Police force, trained to detect and apprehend illegal mining activities. A Mines Surveillance Security Task Force will also be set up to coordinate these efforts and address high-risk incidents related to mining law violations.

Comprehensive Review of Mining Licenses: All existing mining licenses will undergo a thorough review to ensure compliance with regulations and to promote responsible mining practices.

Mineral Processing Centers: Six Mineral Processing Centers will be created to focus on value-added products in the mining sector. This initiative aims to add value to minerals before export, thereby increasing revenue and job opportunities.

Over the next four years and beyond, the Federal Government will actively intervene and attract investments to the mining sector, with a particular focus on the seven priority minerals mentioned earlier.

Currently, Nigeria possesses significant mineral reserves, including Gold, Limestone, Lead/Zinc, Baryte, Bitumen, Iron Ore, and Coal. These reserves provide a substantial foundation for development and growth in the sector.

Starting in October, a strengthened security regime will be implemented, featuring the Mine Police and the Mines Surveillance Security Task Force to combat illegal mining and enforce mining laws. Offenders will be prosecuted in competent courts, and both federal and state governments will be encouraged to play an active role in this process.

The underperformance of the mining sector can be attributed to various factors, including inefficient geo-data, weak implementation and enforcement of regulations, inadequate environmental, safety, and health policies, fragility and conflict issues, unregulated artisanal mining, limited technical capacity, difficulties in accessing financing, weak inter-governmental and inter-agency coordination, and challenges in federal-state relations. The minister’s agenda aims to address these issues and drive the sector towards greater success and sustainability.

So sad

Amendment 12 and 13 on point

Nigeria’s 2023 Presidential election is expected to be a critical moment in the country’s political history, and businesses operating in Nigeria should be aware of the potential impact on their operations. Here are some things that businesses should know about the upcoming election:

1. Potential for Election-related Violence: The election is expected to be highly contested, and there are concerns about the potential for violence and insecurity. Businesses should be prepared for the possibility of disruptions to their operations and should take measures to ensure the safety of their employees and assets.

2. Regulatory Changes: There may be regulatory changes related to the election, such as changes to tax laws or government procurement policies. Businesses should closely monitor any regulatory developments and adjust their operations accordingly.

3. Economic Uncertainty: The election may create economic uncertainty, which could affect consumer confidence and business investment. Businesses should be prepared for potential economic disruptions and adjust their operations as needed.

4. Political Instability: A disputed or contested election outcome could result in political instability, which could have a negative impact on business operations. Businesses should be prepared for the possibility of political unrest and take steps to ensure the safety of their employees and assets.

5. Foreign Relations: The outcome of the election could have implications for Nigeria’s relations with other countries and international organizations. Businesses should closely monitor any developments related to foreign relations and adjust their operations accordingly.

6. Corruption Risks: The election may increase the risk of corruption, as politicians and officials may seek to use their positions for personal gain. Businesses should be aware of the potential for corruption and take steps to ensure compliance with anti-corruption laws and regulations.

7. Investment Opportunities: The election may create new investment opportunities, particularly in sectors that are likely to benefit from government policies and initiatives. Businesses should be prepared to take advantage of these opportunities and adjust their operations as needed.

Conclusively, businesses operating in Nigeria should closely monitor the 2023 Presidential election and be prepared for potential disruptions and changes to the regulatory environment. It is important for businesses to take steps to ensure the safety of their employees and assets, and to be prepared to adjust their operations as needed to navigate any economic or political challenges that may arise.

They are different

Why the attack on Abati
The same Reuben who was darling to the now Obidients, when bulk of them were Atikulators in 2019.

Perhaps, the main reason the Nigeria government is redesigning some denominations of the country’s naira notes is to mop up the money outside the control of the CBN.
In a press conference addressed by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, he said 2.7 trillion out of 3.23 trillion of the total money in circulation is outside the banks’ vault.

He reiterated that one of the core reasons behind the redesigning is to ensure all the currencies outside the bank vaults return, and the CBN regains control of money in circulation.

With Nigeria in the election season, the sudden CBN policy of redesigning of certain currencies is expected to create some shock in the system, and affect politicians who have amassed huge financial war chests to prosecute the 2023 election, as all old currencies are expected back to the vault by 31 January, 2023.

We usually think about flooding in negative terms, but we need to first address the TYPE of flooding we are dealing with. One day I was passing through Lokoja and had time to do a simple evaluation of the topography in view of its perennial flooding. The first thing that struck me was the mind-boggling agricultural potential of that town and the great asset the flood is.

Lokoja flooding is a positive type, an equivalent of what is called a loess in the climatology of an arid environment. The flooding in Lokoja results from the annual swelling of two major rivers. In agricultural resources management, this is pure gold and such areas are given social attention with a view to enhancing agricultural productivity.
Floods that result from annual overflow (or swelling) of rivers are a strong ecosystem factor and if you subject the phenomenon to detailed biological studies, you will find that a lot of the plants and animals on micro and macro levels have their calendars latched to that annual event. The marine lives will spawn at a period based on the flood and even trees there could use it to time their seed dispersal.

But the major and primary factor here is that the overflow of the rivers brings huge amounts of minerals onto land and this vastly improves agricultural yield. This is the reason I advocated two days ago that whatever needs to be done to rein in those floods must make saving those flat, flooded lands a priority. The floods must be allowed there yearly, not banished altogether. If you kill the floods completely, you will be killing the town itself and all the areas that rely for food and trade on its agricultural produce.

In desert climatology, winds often transport fine aggregates of soil over great distances to deposit them over an area. (I am not talking about standard desert dunes but fine dust - the type you see in Harmattan season here). This is called loess and it is an agricultural blessing due to its fertility. Deposits from river flooding have an even bigger effect. The floods are rich in organic and mineral materials that stimulate agriculture in the next season. So, we need to understand that this is a definition ecological phenomenon that has stabilized over millions of years and that is critical for the environment in that location and even further downstream. It should be managed and not destroyed. This should be the starting position of planners as efforts are being conceived to control these floods.

I said earlier that the floods in Lokoja are the good type of floods. Which are the bad types?
Urban floods due to blockage of drains, floods from unusual high tide with the ocean encroaching - like it used to be on Victoria Island in Lagos, flash floods resulting from wayward precipitation are bad floods. The worst are those from typhoons and hurricanes. That's just sea water pretending to be rain, being dumped on land. Those only pollute and destroy.

As you approach Lokoja from the north, a vast flatland greets you to your right. Homes dot this landscape - homes that should not be there. The whole place looks like Iowa, with fields stretching out everlastingly to meet the dome of the sky or kiss hills far away to the south A nation like Italy spent billions (of their Marshall Plans funds) to achieve this type of agricultural land by laser-leveling their land. Level lands help you plan your drainage systems effectively and at lower costs. Benito Mussolini (Yes, the same one) did something even more agriculturally strategic earlier on by stabilizing flooded lands in the central areas of the country. I was once briefed on this and I believe the planners on Lokoja should visit Italy and study Mussolini's reclamation works. It is applicable to the situation in Lokoja, in my opinion.

Flatlands are great for lowland rice cultivation and for aquaculture like shrimping, we take fisheries for granted. Planned industrial agriculture in that zone can unlock the wealth hidden in it from creation by the dynamics of nature we are exploring.
It is important that the authorities start out viewing Lokoja floods' hidden advantage before doing anything. A comprehensive study of the ecology of the area is necessary and if done right, that city can become the national asset and confluence of opportunities and wealth that it is.

Good, the whole world now have the opportunity to hear Inibehe side of the matter.
Mynd44, lalasticlala, let everyone here him out.

Dependency mentality and lack of self-esteem contributes to depression alot. Think like an island that understands the need to contribute to the welfare of others by creating a symbiotic relationship with them.

Avoid allowing others to build dependency around you, all humans are infallible. Let them understand the need to contribute in whatever relationship they find themselves.

Seriously?

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has stated that accreditation of voters for the 2023 general election will be through electronic means only, meaning the manual voters accreditation adopted in previous elections will no longer be used.
The regulation is contained in the newly published Regulations and Guidelines for 2023 general election as presented by INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu. In clause 20 of the guidelines stated that;

Where a voter cannot be identified by the BVAS for the Polling Unit using the methods outlined in Clause 19 (d) of these Regulations and Guidelines or where the voter’s fingerprint or face cannot be matched with the details in the BVAS
after three trials, the voter shall not be allowed to vote. In that case, the APO I shall:
(i) Advise the voter to use appropriate channels to notify the Commission of his/her failure to accredit;
(ii) Politely request the voter to leave the Polling Unit; and
(iii) Tick the appropriate box against the voter’s name labelled FA (denoting “Failed Accreditation”) at the left margin of the voter’s details on the register.

In the events of malfunctioning of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), INEC explicitly stated the following;

(a) In the event of sustained malfunction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), the Presiding Officer (PO) shall:
(i) Immediately inform the LGA and RA Supervisors, the Supervisory Presiding Officer (SPO), the Electoral Officer (EO), and the Election Monitoring and Support Centre (EMSC) for replacement.
(ii) Suspend Accreditation and Voting until a new BVAS is made available.
(iii) File a report of the incident to the designated Official.
(iv) Inform the voters and polling agents of the situation.
(b) Where a replacement BVAS is not available by 2:30pm, the Presiding Officer shall:
(i) Inform the LGA and RA Supervisors, SPO, EO, and EMSC of the situation.
(ii) File a report of the incident.
(iii) Inform the voters and polling agents that accreditation and voting for the affected Polling Unit shall continue the following day.
