On the day of election mst pipo shutin on social media will be at home watchin the election on TV lyk football, u're not on the pitch buh u wnt sum1 to win.

I don't think you followed the 2015 elections because on the days of elections, most people on Social Media were the ones on ground giving situation reports and also results of the elections at polling units.

Wazobia TV interviews Nejeeb Bello Oyarese about preparations for the 2019 Elections in Nigeria, how prepared INEC is to ensure the process is up to standards, and how the voters can ensure their votes count.


INEC Must Make Future Elections More Digital & Electronic

I talked about how INEC can make the electoral process easier by making registration and voting more digital. If GTBank can give us secure access to the money in our bank accounts using our phone numbers, emails, and biometric information, then why is INEC unable to implement something similar with voter registration and actual casting of votes?

About 100,000,000 Nigerian have access to the internet, electronic and mobile connectivity. It is very critical that the Independent National Electoral Commission makes registration and voting more convenient. Asking millions of Nigerians to leave their places of work and school in order to register to vote should not continue beyond 2019.


New Nigerian Politicians Must Arise For Nigeria 2019 Elections

Also discussed are the prospects of youths in Governance. How younger, newer candidates can participate in running for office at the different levels, especially with the newly passed Not Too Young To Run bill. I encouraged Nigerians between the ages of 25 and 35 to rise up, get registered to vote, join political parties, and present themselves to be voted for.

New politicians running for office is not necessarily restricted to the young. All the different groups which have been marginalized have to come forth in 2019 and put forward their best foot.

No one is going to give elected positions to them out of pity.

We need more women too. I’m advocating for a fifty percent share of elected offices to women, and even more if they can compete for them. There are many issue about girls and women which only women can fully understand, and being in public office will easily facilitate solutions to those issues.


President Emmanuel Macron Of France As An Example For Youths In Nigeria 2019 Elections

President of France, Emmanuel Macron came to Nigeria, and these 1966 and Civil War politicians are falling over themselves to see him, while at the same time telling Nigerians of his age that they’re not ready to be Governors, or President.

Macron himself made statements indicating the current political set up in Nigeria was not working for the betterment of the future of Nigeria, but maintaining the systems of the past.

https://i2.wp.com/www.barbaric.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/img_20180704_135216194562877.jpg?resize=1024%2C768

Many Nigerian youths assume Macron was able to achieve his feat because France was ready for him, but the French President explained that he was to it wasn’t his time yet, and he was asked to wait his turn.

Mr Macron said if he had asked for permission to do the things he had to do to become President, then he wouldn’t be coming to Nigeria as President during this visit. He urged Nigerian youths to take risks and dare t do the things which were necessary to achieve what they dreamed. All we have to do is reduce the loss they will bear in case of failure.


Financing For New Politicians In The Nigeria 2019 Elections

Financing is a big deal for new aspirants coming into politics to contest for office, and the solution to that problem is crowdfunding using platforms like donate.ng, GoFundMe.com, and QuickRaiz.com .


As the older generation of greedy politicians are going around sharing a small percentage of money stolen from the Government back to the people, they are investing that little share of the loot in order to have access to our collective treasury where there’s ten times what they spent.


https://i2.wp.com/www.barbaric.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/img_20180706_0948381147845632.jpg?w=800

The new breed of politicians have to understand that in civilized countries, political campaigns are run with donations from the general public. When the general public invest in a candidate, then it is that candidate who now takes up the responsibility of making sure the people get returns on their investment, and they will hold her or him responsible.

Wealth dies not equate to electoral victory, although the size of a contestant's campaign budget helps.

Making money the legal way in itself is winning. So if you have several businesses, and you're winning at them all, people believe you can change their economy, their society, and their well being.

Sheuns:
All these people will think cos you have money means you'll win election. Born in Lagos, has business in Lagos, I doubt if he frequents the constituency he wants to represent at all. Oga don't forget there are some people already vying for the posts and are well known amongst the people.

god2good:
You want to and collect your own share abi?

I'm running for office, and I'm encouraging other younger people to run for office.

Businessman and hospitality expert, Shina Peller, has declared his intention to run for the office of a Federal House Of Representatives member representing a constituency in Oyo State.


Mr Shina Peller posted his declaration on the internet, saying:

“My people, after a deep thought, reflection and extensive consultations, I have decided to formally declare my intention to represent the Iseyin, Itesiwaju, Kajola, Iwajowa federal constituency at the House Of Representatives in 2019.”

“I appreciate the advice and concern from well wishers and mentors who are worried that going into politics will be detrimental to my business interests which I have worked so hard to build over the last two decades but I think the time for social media and arm chair politics is over.”



“We need to take our destiny into our own hands for the sake of Nigeria, for the sake of our children, and the less privileged in our society.”

“My focus in politics will be to ensure that institutions work and people can benefit from government services irrespective of class or social status.”

“I want to help create policies that will help diversify our economy with a renewed focus on tourism, manufacturing and youth empowerment.”

“I encourage all young people to follow my cue and take an active role in partisan politics. This is our time. The time is now.”

Born in Lagos State, Nigeria on the 14th of May 1976, Shina Abiola Peller is a businessman, philanthropist, and an industrialist. His parents are from Oyo State, Nigeria.

Shina Peller’s father is the well-known Professor Moshood Abiola Peller who was a popular performer in Nigeria during his lifetime. Shina Peller is a graduate of Chemical Engineering from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology. He also has a Master’s degree in Business Management.

Although he is well-known as the owner of Quilox Night Club in Victoria Island Lagos. He is also the Group Chairman and CEO of the diversified conglomerate, Aquilla group of companies.


Why Is It Important That Shina Peller Runs For Office

Following the recent passage of the Not Too Young To Run Bill, there have been very few youths declaring to run for office simply because they don't know how. Mr Peller is not a youth, but he's quite youth and young at heart, and also well admired by a wide population of young people, especially in the South West of Nigeria.

Youths complain that they don't have money, and they don't have 'godfathers', and that is why they can't run for office, but the truth is they simply feel totally out of place and don't know how people would react if someone who has been singing on TV, dancing on stage, playing on the pitch, or cracking jokes in a hall comes out to declare intention to run for political office.

Now we have the man who runs one of the best clubs in Nigeria, where young people come to sing, dance, joke, and pop bottles, he's saying "I want to be a Federal Representative". That is symbolic! That can change the mindset of a lot of his young admirers to know they too can run for office. That can change the mind of Nigeria and Nigerians, to see that it's all about your work ethic.

The South African Music Awards 2018 (2018 SAMAs) held at the Sun City Super Bowl. This year’s awards were dedicated to “reliving and commemorating the importance of music in the history of the country”.

It seems like President Cyril Ramaphosa meant every word when he said Thuma mina as he was all over this year’s awards ceremony. The president first went up the stage to welcome and open the show. Then he later went up again to present the Lifetime Achievement Awards to three recipients; Spokes H, Steve Kekana, and Mbongeni Ngema. He also presented Shashika Mooruth with International Achiever Award. We see you, Mr President.

And then Riky Rick happened… While most were busy slaying the red carpet, Riky decides to come looking a like a hot mess. And true to black twitter, he quickly found himself on the trending list with #RikyRickchallenge. The rapper caused chaos – with his outfit leaving so many shocked and confused. His outfit was created by internationally acclaimed local designer Chu Suwannapha’s label Chulaap. It’s true when they say Riky’s fashionista is in a league of its own.

Did Somizi really go there? Yes, he did! The presenter stayed true to his character – always throwing shade and taking shots at a number of celebs. Maybe it was a payback time after he was on the hot seat on the Comedy Central Roasts of Somizi. He also said that he was now tired of hosting the SAMAs – I guess we too are tired of seeing the same face.

It was a good night for popular singer Shekhinah. She bagged the Best Album of the Year, for her Album, Rose Gold, Best Female Artist of the Year and the Best Newcomer of the Year. Way to go girl!!! Unfortunately, Kwesta who was nominated in two categories scooped dololo. Despite not winning anything, Kwesta gave a good performance at the 2018 SAMAs ceremony. Better luck next time.

It can’t be an interesting event without Skolopad showing up. The singer was reportedly carried out of the venue on a stretcher after passing out, allegedly from exhaustion, although some have speculated that alcohol may also have been a factor. Hey, it’s not my place to judge. We hope she feels better.

We can’t deny that Omunye by Destruction Boyz was the national anthem track for the past year. The qgom music stars won the biggest award – Record of the Year – and they closed the ceremony with a hot performance.

The 2018 SAMAs ceremony was a bit of a let down to many. They were empty seats and the whole production just needs a boost. The ceremony seemed like it wasn’t well organised but there’s always 2019…

He meant 4 million jerseys for the whole world.

Secondly, what makes you believe there are not up to 4 million Nigerians who can buy N40k jerseys?

Do you know how many Nigerians buy iPhones and Samsung S series phones? Do you know how many Nigerians pop chanpagne in the club every weekend?

Obviously, you don't know the Nigerian market.

Kobicove:
Making 4 million of the jerseys to send to Nigeria would not have been a good idea

I can guarantee you they will not be able to sell out 4 million of those jerseys in Nigeria at over N40K a piece cos of the low purchasing power here!

Thank you my brother.

I have been buying Nigerian jerseys for more than a decade, from Nike to Adidas, and back to Nike. It is usually the same story with the new designs of Nigerian jerseys whenever Nigeria is heading for a major contest.

Adidas had to tear up the deal they had with the NFF some years back due to major irregularities and stumbling blocks on their way while trying to execute it.

Last year September, the Nike store at Novare Mall, Lekki, they asked me if I knew any Church that would like to buy their stock of of Nigerian Super Eagles jerseys for Independence Day service.

Why hoard a product unnecessarily from those willing and able to buy, only to be later begging to sell those same products at floor price to people who are not interested.

The year we won the CAF Cup in South Africa was the worst! No jerseys across all Adidas Stores in Nigeria.

We need to fish out those people in the NFF running this racket. It's not a Nike thing because same happened with Adidas, and even after Adidas abruptly ended its deal with Nigeria Super Eagles, some sports reporters said NFF approached Puma, and Puma turned us down.

Throwback:
The OP has raised salient points.

Somebody in the NFF has a stake in this well organised racket of imitation jerseys.

Both NFF and Nike are to be blamed for the Nigerian and worldwide shortage respectively.

Immediately I posted the thread, see the attachment for what showed up next.

cmon:
There's even an ad right under your post. I'm sure it's for the fake ones.... lol... What do you expect, There is hunger in the country....

Bro, do you know that $124.30 CAD converts to N34,000?! Even in Canada, where Nigerians are running to for better life and higher incomes, the jersey is being sold less than it is in Nigeria where per capita income is ten times less than it is in Canada!

parisbluefox:
Dude there’s no much price difference in regards to the amount that’s been charged across the world. I reside in Canada, and over here it cost 110$ CAD minus tax. Plus tax it comes to a total of 124.30.

It is this same confusionist approach with which the NFF handles the Super Eagles jersey that they will handle the Super Eagles at the Russia 2018 World Cup.

That is why Nigeria won't go past these stages in the World Cup.

Greyworld:
...and what is all these hullabaloo about for a group stage at best knockout stage team jersey.

Nigeria Super Eagles 2018 FIFA World Cup jerseys sold out at the Nike Store in Ikeja City Mall, Lagos.

There’s no crowd here, they simply never really got a decent supply. This happens every time.

Nike usually sells it’s apparel most expensive in Europe, a little cheaper in the Americas, then very cheap in Asia and Africa.


https://www.barbaric.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/img_20180601_180210371614452.jpg


Our Super Eagles Jersey is being sold in the USA and Europe for the equivalent of N31,000 ($80 to $85), but in Nigeria they’re selling the jerseys for N40,000 ($110) and yet they ensured they didn’t supply more than a few thousand units. WHY?!!

There’s definitely some fishy racket going on with The NFF regarding the matter of the Super Eagles jerseys. That’s why Adidas terminated our last deal, and Nigeria had to go begging sportswear companies round the world till Nike took pity on us.


https://www.barbaric.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/img_20180601_1802201518882374-1.jpg

https://www.barbaric.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/img_20180601_1805171025293230.jpg


It’s a big shame that there’s nowhere we haven’t taken corruption to. See how millions of fake jerseys have flooded the entire country and nobody is doing a thing.

Either the NFF executives are the ones running this racket, or they’re benefitting from it somehow. I will definitely petition the EFCC on this.

The biggest question we should ask ourselves is how come those who have been importing and selling millions of fake Super Eagles jerseys for months now have still not sold out.

WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING?!

It's unfortunate, the EFCC is busy organising Anti-Corruption Walks and Anti-Corruption Concerts all over the place, meanwhile, there's real corruption staring down Nigeria, and everyone is looking away.

blackboy:
This is serious. EFCC, Military Police and the presidency aswell as nnpc should look into this.

Those mentioned should be investigated ASAP

Apochi Suleiman is a JTF Commander in the Niger Delta region, But Now Known as Commander of Bunkering in Nigeria, CBN. Before his gallantry is noted, some background about ‘illegal bunkering’ and loss of Nigerians’ common wealth is imperative. The level of poverty is frightening in Nigeria. It is now a cliché that many Nigerians live on or earn less than $2 a day. But it is not a cliché that some individuals are bent to ensure that Nigerians remain poor and the petrol-economy remain opaque and a drain on the national treasury in spite of the fact that Nigeria is one of the largest oil-producing nations in the world.

At a time when crude oil prices are on the rise again –when Nigeria should be making a kill in petro-dollars, its uniformed agents are flunking every efforts of the government to benefit from its resources. Suleiman is a recurring decimal under the circumstance.

To situate the scenario: The nation loses over $1billion monthly to activities of oil thieves in the Niger Delta region. Various experts have estimated the volume of oil theft at between 100,000 and 250,000 barrels per day or as much as 91 million barrels yearly or billions of dollars in lost revenue.


https://i0.wp.com/www.barbaric.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/oil-theft1173517630.jpg?w=1000

For years now, the federal government has stationed various military personnel –including the Navy, the Nigerian Army and the Air Force –otherwise known as the JTF to prevent further illegal activities –often referred to as ‘illegal bunkering’ from emasculating the oil earnings that should accrue to the government and its people.
However, those charged with the responsibility of securing the national assets in terms of oil facilities –the JTF – have been fingered in theft and conspiracy against Nigeria. It is said that some JTF members are brains behind colossal oil theft.

It is reported that officers and enlisted personnel allegedly pay large premiums for the opportunity to serve in the JTF because the huge amount of money they make from protecting or participating in ‘illegal bunkering’ is too fabulous to ignore.
This is an open secret: interested Navy officers are said to cough up to $30,000 to serve in the Niger Delta. It is little wonder that some military officers are so successful that they have bought multimillion-dollar homes in high-end neighbourhoods in Lagos. Proceeds from ‘illegal bunkering’ became high enough in the last several years to enable both JTF members and ‘militants’ to operate on the same turf.


https://i0.wp.com/www.barbaric.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/images-482023395215..jpg?w=471


The JTF Commander Suleman is said not to be working alone –he has a worthy lieutenant in the person of one Dagogo Gilbert. The duo is a Siamese twins that a source said: “Dagogo Gilbert is the key man that collects money for Apochi Suleman –if this man is arrested everything about him (Suleman) will be exposed. This information is very real. Suleman is the JTF commander.”
Repeated allegations have been made against this JTF Commander and certain individuals that collect money on his behalf. But the government has yet to give sufficient scrutiny to these allegations.

The government should think: without the active connivance of the JTF how can some illegal oil merchants steal Nigeria’s crude oil without resistance and sell it at the country’s expense when Nigeria should making huge profits given the increase in the price of oil.
The federal government is therefore urged to take another look at the JTF, its supposed activities bordering on patrol boats to the structure of the force and the topmost hierarchy of its establishment.

The government should take seriously the call for help by the “Concerned Citizen of Bony, Nembe, Kula and Bille Communities, Rivers State”. In recent statements published by the communities and signed by Mr Ebi George and Comrade Preye Dumbraye, they noted: “We the indigenes of Bony, Nembe, Kula and Bille communities are forced to cry out again after the publication of May 15, 2018 in the Vanguard newspaper on page 22. Since that publication the activities of oil bunkering has increased ten folds in our communities. Oil bunkering vessels come in every two days to load crude oil from Bony, Nembe, Kula and Bille under military escorts who pilot them in and out of our communities.

“We commend the efforts of the General Officer Commanding (GOC) and Commanding Officer 29 Battalion Port Harcourt for his efforts to combat oil bunkering activities. But the bad eggs in the Army and the Navy are actively involved in oil bunkering in Bony, Nembe, Kula, and Bille communities in Rivers and Bayelsa states.”
The statement further said: “We call on the Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Naval Staff to direct their field officers and commanders to stop their men from collaborating with oil bunkerers and pipeline vandals in Bony and Nembe axis and Kula and Bille –both in Rivers and Bayelsa who operate in broad daylight under the escort of Army and Navy personnel from Port Harcourt to Bayelsa. The brazen manner in which vessels come in and out of Bonny and Nembe is very alarming. Kula and Bille are not left out. The ongoing battle by the GOC and Commanding Officer of 29 Battalion in Kula and Bille to combat pipeline vandals and oil bunkerers should be extended to Bony and Nembe.”

In yet another statement, they urged President Muhammadu Buhari to stop the saboteurs from ruining the efforts of his administration to fight corruption and provide succour for the masses.
“We commend President Buhari for his doggedness and resilience in spite of all the distraction by detractors and enemies of progress. We want to draw the attention of Mr President to the activities of oil thieves in the Niger Delta, especially in Rivers and Bayelsa states. We have raised the alarm on the increased activities of oil thieves (crude oil theft) and illegal refinery in Bony, Nembe, Kula, and Bille communities in Rivers and Bayelsa in two separate publications in the Vanguard newspaper of May 15 and 24, 2018 which were swept under the carpet.

“Mr President, it is worrisome that the central command of the Navy and Army charged with the responsibility of ensuring that these illegal activities do not take place in the Niger Delta region are directly collaborating with oil thieves and illegal refineries in Rivers and Bayelsa to sabotage the Nigerian economy. How best can we describe the situation where naval and army personnel escort barges of oil bunkers to the open sea for business with foreign nationals waiting with huge ships to buy the stolen products? We urge Mr President to put a halt to this and direct all service chiefs –the Navy, Army and Air Force to bring the culprits to book. Rivers and Bayelsa states are the gateway of illegal oil theft in Nigeria,” the group said.

The Lagos State Government on Wednesday said that all is now set for the commencement of the much anticipated the Embedded Power Project by July 2018.

The Lagos State Embedded Power Programme, a brain child of the present administration is targeted towards generating 3,000 megawatts electricity for the State within the next three to five years.



Commissioner for Energy, Mr. Olawale Oluwo who disclosed this at the ongoing annual Ministerial Press Briefing to mark the third anniversary of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration held at Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, said the project when it takes off would commence the journey to deregulate Nigeria’s power sector from Lagos State and ultimately achieve energy security for the State.

“Our Power Reform Programme which is the Embedded Power Project all things been equal will take off in July 2018. The House passed the law in January and the Governor the bill into law in February. The implementation committee is already working and a lot of work has been going on the field and everywhere. We would do our Expression of Interest sometime in June and that process will kick-start this project,” he said.



He said the 13 locations for the pilot phase of the Embedded Power Project was currently awaiting approval of the State Executive Council and would be released soon.

Oluwo said that the power and gas sectors reforms were key interventions of the Governor Ambode led administration to correct the structural challenges in the power sector and gradually position the State for 24-hour power supply.

He said that apart from the reforms in the power sector, the State Government had began implementation of other sectoral reforms including the downstream petroleum sector, the gas sector as well as the solid minerals sector and regulatory reforms.



“The essence of all this is that we want to give Lagos, energy security and to achieve this, you must have security of electricity, gas and petroleum products,” he said.

The Commissioner said that when the reforms are fully implemented in the next three to five years, the State’s reliance on gas from the Niger Delta region would be less critical to the State’s economy.



“The overall objective of the gas reform is to open the Lagos gas market to local and international players in order to make the Niger Delta gas less critical to future of Lagos economy (the ultimate goal is to make Lagos State to be fully independent of Niger Delta gas in three to five years,” Oluwo said.



Oluwo said plans were already in the pipeline to increase gas supply to Lagos from the present 500 million standard cubic feet (scf) per day to approximately 1.25billion scf per day in three to five years, adding that the State would soon sign long term off-take contracts for gas found in any oil field in Lagos to power the Lagos economy.



He said seven agencies would be driving the reform in the gas sector as plans had been concluded for the reticulation of gas to homes starting from Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Ikeja GRA.

Triniti:
you are spot on! I equally got the fake too and it was made in Thailand, the quality is so good that it will be hard to detect the real and the fake. I think nff and Nike wasted so much time in lunching this jersey.

I'm also contemplating getting the knockoff version. I can't wait till 29th just to wait again for delivery of something that's about the same.

CSTR1003:
Not bad

The NFF is becoming commercially viable .

The shirts are not yet available for sale though. People are selling millions of fake jerseys all over the place, including online. I've even seen an AD on Nairaland.

They said that whoever the Gods want to kill, they first make him run mad.

Those who are repeating "Transmission" a thousand times should heed the warnings they receive.

He should never have been appointed, and even months ago, he should have been sacked after refusing to obey an order to relocate to Benue.

1. Dump the chick
2. Get well soon
3. Double your hustle
4. Do whatever you like with your money.

I live in a family house too. 2 bedroom apartment. Even though I can afford to go rent a place, why should I? I can save about N750,000 annually, and I don't have landlord problems.
