LordBiden:
Wow,Atiku just won my heart by championing bringing back subsidy.

In every functional society the government helps the poor by way of subsidies on petroleum, education,food.

The idea that government needs money from saved subsidy funds to build infrastructures is rubbish.Imf, world bank are the ones suggesting such heartless, draconian policies.

If government needs more monies let them cut down cost of running government, tackle oil theft,impose higher taxes on luxury goods,look for alternative sources of income like mining.
Rubbish
Education › Re: Suggest A Private School To Relocate My Child In Kubwa, Abuja by nickxtra(op): 4:54pm On Aug 19
matrix199:
You should go round Kubwa and its environs to make enquiries. Most private schools have hiked their school fees. Look out for schools with affordable fees as well as good standard.


Imagine a school calling herself "Faith Academy" but making the parents lose faith in them. Very ironic!
Thank you. It is really disturbing!

Politics › FCT Minister Ordered Demolition Of Structures On Waterways And Drainage Systems by nickxtra(op): 2:06pm On Aug 18
Amid the flooding incidences that engulfed many parts of the Federal Capital Territory recently, which many commentators blamed on the allocation of waterways and green areas to political allies by the FCT Minister, Wike, the Minister has come out to debunked such conclusions and cried that those allocations and developments were made before the present administration.

He said has directed the FCDA authorities to demolish any illegal structure erected in any part of the City's drainage system, waterways and green areas, regardless of the ownership of such structures.

Education › Suggest A Private School To Relocate My Child In Kubwa, Abuja by nickxtra(op): 5:16am On Aug 16
I think i need to relocate my ward from Faith Academy, Kubwa. From 170,000 school fees per term (510,000 Naira) school fees, Faith Academy Kubwa just increased its School fees by over 80%, to 290, 000 + 18,000 for note books and uniform, totally 308,000 Naira per term (For a session, it is 760,000 Naira).

And the worst thing, they expect parents to pay 75% of the fees before resumption in September and the balance 25% later. In this season of difficulties for people?

This is where my question lies- what is the rational behind this? Is this astronomical increase applicable to all private schools?

I need someone to suggest a good private school arround Dutse/Kubwa, Abua axis for me?

Romance › Re: Why Some Exes Suddenly Become Better After The Breakup by nickxtra(m): 12:07pm On Jul 29
⁹
Kalatium:
One of the most confusing things about relationships is this:

Someone who barely made an effort while you were together suddenly becomes thoughtful after the relationship ends.They never remembered your birthday before, but now they are the first to wish you well. They rarely checked on you before, but now they want to know how you are doing.

Naturally, you begin to wonder:

"Why couldn't they be like this when we were together?"

The truth is, there isn't one answer.

Sometimes, losing a good partner forces people to confront their shortcomings. Regret can be a powerful teacher. They genuinely reflect, mature, and become more emotionally aware. People do change.

Other times, what looks like change is something else entirely.

It may be loneliness or it may be guilt. It may be curiosity about whether you've moved on. It may even be the realization that finding another partner with your qualities is harder than they expected.

A kind message or a birthday greeting, by itself, is not proof of personal growth.

Real change is not measured by one emotional moment. It is measured by consistent behavior over time.

This is why it is important not to confuse attention with transformation. If someone truly changed, you won't have to guess. Their actions will remain consistent long after the emotions settle.

At the same time, avoid assuming every ex who reaches out has bad intentions. Human emotions are complex. Some people genuinely regret their mistakes. Others simply miss the familiarity of the relationship.

The wiser approach is neither blind skepticism nor blind optimism.

Observe. Take your time. Let patterns speak louder than promises.

People can change, but genuine transformation is demonstrated through sustained actions, not occasional gestures.

What do you think? Have you ever seen someone become a better partner only after the relationship ended? Or do you believe most people simply reveal who they have always been?
Because fulfillment of destiny is in phases

Politics › Re: Fake Agency Originated From Buhari Government— Budget Office Explains by nickxtra(m): 8:28pm On Jul 25
Ofunaofu:


Fake agency originated from Buhari government—Budget Office explains PFIPC allocation


•Explains how PFIPC was allocated money in the budget



The Budget Office of the Federation (BOF) yesterday explained that the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), which the presidency declared as fake and is currently being investigated by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, had its origin in the last administration of late President Muhammadu Buhari.



The Director-General of the Budget Office, Mr. Tanimu Yakubu who provided the explanation in a statement, after appearing before members of the House of Representatives, in Abuja said the PFIPC’s institutional origin was premised on the Presidential Economic Advisory Council inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari on October 9, 2019. He also explained how the fake agency was allocated money in the 2026 budget.

His words, “PEAC/PFIPC did not enter the 2026 Budget merely because it asked for funds. The Council had its origin in the Presidential Economic Advisory Council inaugurated during the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari on October 9, 2019. By the time preparation of the 2026 Budget began, official instruments had already been issued by the institutions charged with those functions.

“The Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation had assigned an administrative code to the PFIPC. The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation had approved an authorised establishment and a recruitment waiver. The applicable public-service salary structure also existed. These instruments did not come from the Budget Office. They came to it.

“The Budget Office did not create the Council. It did not assign its code. It did not approve its establishment. It did not grant its recruitment waiver. It received official instruments and did what the law required of it: it measured their fiscal effect.”

Mr. Tanimu further explained that the Council submitted a personnel estimate of N3.850 billion for the 2026 Fiscal Year and that his Office had to reduce that figure to N802.978 million, using the authorised establishment, the approved recruitment waiver, the applicable public-service salary structure and the extant costing methodology

According to the D-G, “Council later submitted a personnel estimate of N3,850,935,000.00. That estimate did not form the basis of the Budget Office’s recommendation. The Budget Office disregarded it and made an independent calculation using only the authorised establishment, the approved recruitment waiver, the applicable public-service salary structure and the extant costing methodology.

“That calculation produced N802,978,783.00. This was not a concession to the Council. It was the Budget Office’s own fiscal judgment. It was the amount placed in the Executive Budget proposal and later appropriated.

Financial Clearance closed gate against Council
Mr Yakubu said that the Council could not receive the approved funds for personnel because its promoter, Prince Adeyemi Adeniyi could not secure Financial Clearance, an instrument that confirms that necessary fiscal and regulatory had been met.

He said, “Financial Clearance is the point at which a personnel provision may begin to acquire legal force as expenditure. It is not a routine letter. It is the confirmation that the fiscal and regulatory conditions for recruitment have been met. Until it is issued, the figure remains in the budget. It does not create staff. It does not open payroll. It does not produce salary. The Budget Office did not issue Financial Clearance for PEAC/PFIPC because the conditions were incomplete.

“The 2026 Appropriation Bill did not become law until Presidential Assent on 31 March 2026. Before that date, the Budget Office could cost the proposal. It could not grant final Financial Clearance against a bill that had not yet become law.

“After assent, a further condition remained outstanding. The National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission had not confirmed that the proposed staffing and remuneration arrangements complied with its prescribed template and the approved public-service compensation framework.

“The Budget Office could calculate the cost. It could not open the gate. There was therefore no Financial Clearance. There was no lawful recruitment. There was no payroll enrollment. There was no salary payment.”

The D-G added, “The personnel provision was N802,978,783.00. It represented 61.63 per cent of the total appropriation of N1,302,978,783.00. It has sometimes been described as though the Council could have received the whole amount and spent it at will. That description is false.

“Personnel appropriations are not paid to agencies as lump sums. After every legal condition has been met, salaries are paid month by month. The money moves electronically into the designated bank accounts of verified employees enrolled on the Federal Government payroll.

“The institution does not receive the annual personnel provision as cash under its control. Even in a lawful process, the Council would not have received N802,978,783.00 in one payment. The money would have gone over twelve months to individual employees. That process never began. No Financial Clearance was issued. No recruitment took place. No payroll record was created. No salary became due. Not one kobo of the personnel provision could lawfully have been drawn. Not one kobo was drawn. There is no personnel expenditure to recover because there was no personnel expenditure.”

The PFIPC controversy became public on June 11, 2026, when the Chief of Staff to the president, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, declared the Council as fake and petitioned the law enforcement agencies.


However, at a press conference on June 26, the Director General of the PFIPC, Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi faulted the presidency’s disclaimer. He alleged that Gbajabiamila received N400 million through a proxy and demanded an additional N200 million to secure his appointment — an allegation which the Chief of Staff denied and has sued him to court claiming N15b as damages for defamation. Adeyemi is currently in custody after he was arrested by the police in connection with the PFIPC scandal and alleged forgery.

Before his arrest, Adeyemi claimed he personally approached officials of the budget office to seek the inclusion of the Council in the federal government’s budget.

Recently, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) confirmed that it opened two domiciliary accounts linked to the PFIPC on the directive of the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF).

The apex bank, however, said the accounts, one denominated in United States dollars and the other in British pounds sterling, were never funded or operated


https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/07/fake-agency-originated-from-buhari-government-budget-office/
This is not what the narration and clarification conveys. It simply means that Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC) was established under approval and neccessary instruments by the previous government. But Adeyemi and cohorts simply rode under the approval and umbrella of PEAC to perpetrate the evil of establishing the Foreign Investment Promotion council. He wanted to mingle and wine with foreign interests, hence the greed backfired on him and his collaborators.

1. This girl is not a virgin..
2. Why will you go and meet a total stranger in different city in an hotel..
3.from what i read online, after they had sex he didn't give her what they discussed or what she was expected rather he gave 8k and said he will send her 50k later, so when she get back home and waited for this man to send this money but to no avail he was not responding and that was when she begin to voice out...
4. From my observation this girl was depressed for over long time before this incident...
5. The man is a very wicked man, he has the money but still want to eat his cake and have it...
6. To all men who treat women badly have it in your mind that anytime any day whenever a woman accuse of rape know that the public will believe....
7. Sex is not food, whether see follows you to your house or hotel if she doesn't want to have sex with you let her go and stop forcing women to have sex with you...
8. And to all olosho if you don't want to have sex with them then avoid their money..
Again:
1. How can someone who claimed she was raped will ask for her remaining balance and still went ahead and said she would have gone to Abuja instead of asaba..
2. Why didn't she shout for help when he was about to rape her, instead asking for her 50k which is the fixed price...
3. As a man pray never to find your self in a situation like this..

I don't support any of them both the man and the girl .
Actually, i think the man must have been dissappointed that the girl was not a virgin, hence he failed to give her the money he had promised her
