Donald Trump, yesterday reiterated that he may spend $1 billion on his presidential campaign if necessary. Donald Trump who is seeking for the number one position in America is ready to put in his own share of cash. This he said because he doesn't want to be controlled as "puppet" taking out on erstwhile Florida's governor Jeb Bush's $100 million dollars fund.

However. Donald Trump claims to worth $10 billion personally and also claim to make $400 million yearly. Donald Trump's campaign mantra has been to make "America great" and he's not stopping at anything to achieve that. Evidently he is capable of running the campaign personally with his financial portfolio. He has on record donated to several candidates in the past which includes the front runner of Democrats - Hillary Clinton.

However he still have hurdles to scale before he clinches the seat of power in America. Although currently leading by 22% with the close runner up 14%, he needs to clinch the ticket of the Republican Party. However Mr Trump has reiterated that he'll always keep door open perhaps he's not treated fairly enough. In America there is room for independent candidature.

However with his stern position on migrants especially Mexican migrants; creation of jobs by bringing back manufacturing companies to America, love for women and children. Will he be able to make it to the top? Will he be favorable turning down lobbyist request like he turned down $5 million? Will he be able to stand criticism shots fired at him? It will soon be determined by the populace.

Members of the House of Representatives have called for the immediate rehabilitation of federal roads across the country.

The Lawmakers entertained complaints as some motion were brought to the House during plenary on Thursday 13th, August 2015 by members who expressed dissatisfaction on the current condition of federal roads.

Hon. Igariwey Iduma Enwo representing Afikpo North/South Federal Constituency of Ebonyi State was the first to move the motion, exposing that the Abakaliki/Afikpo road linking Ebonyi to neighboring States is seriously in need of rehabilitation.

He said that the road has suffered years of neglect and has remained in a bad condition to the discomfort of its users. He prayed the House to interface with the Federal Ministry of Works in order to ensure that the road is repaired.

In a related development, Hon. Shehu Saleh of Rijau/Magama Federal Constituency of Niger State mooted the need for the completion of the reconstruction being carried out on Kontagora-Rijau-Tungun Magajiya road.

He asserted that the road is of great economic and social value to both the people of Niger and Kebbi States. He prayed the House to urge the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to adopt an interim measure to rehabilitate the road and once again make it easily accessible.

Similarly, Hon. Rita Orji, representing Ajeromi/Ifelodun1 Federal Constituency of Lagos State has called the attention of the House to the need to refurbish the Ojora-Ajegunle-Apapa Federal Highway. She pointed out that the highway is a major supply route to the Tin-Can port, which she stressed is strategic to the nation’s economy. She appealed to the House to urge the Federal Ministry of Works and FERMA to urgently embark on the restoration of the highway as well as the reactivation of the street lights.

The popular and controversial saying that 'what a man can do a woman can do better' is further proved as many Nigerian women have in recent times joined the tricycle business (popularly called "keke maruwa" in Lagos).

28 year old Deborah Sani is not just a female tricycle rider who plies the Ikeja-Toyin Street in Lagos, but also a trained teacher who obtained a National Certificate in Education (NCE) in 2009 from the former Federal College of Education Zaria, now Federal University of Education, Zaria and also currently undergoing a Diploma Program at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

When asked what led her into the business, she said, "when you compare the income from this job and any other job I could have been doing right now because I'm a qualified teacher. Teaching job if they will pay you N20,000, they will think they are paying you so well. Even if they will pay you N30,000 they feel it's a better job you are doing. But from this I can easily keep that amount as savings not as earnings."

She added that the need to save and not just to earn led her to make enquiries regarding the business as well as embarking on training with a volunteer keke driver.

Derby as she is fondly called said, "I got to realise that the jobs you do and you get your earnings daily seem to be far more lucrative than the usual corporate jobs. So when someone mentioned the idea that I don't even need capital to start it, I just need to know how to operate it. So I started looking for a trainer."

Deborah, who is still single, got someone who decided to teach her for one hour daily and she learnt the skill after about 8 lessons.
According to her, she makes a daily savings of about 2000 with extra to cater for her needs.Trained Female Teacher Turns Keke Driver
She said, "After settling all levies, buy petrol, oil and making daily accounts to the keke owner, I make not less than N3,000 of which I save N2,000 and spends N1,000 on daily needs."

Deborah Sani calls on the unemployed youths to be flexible when seeking for employment.
She said, "they should not concentrate on one particular direction when they are looking for a job. Like saying I want to work in a school, I want to work in an office. You are narrowing your opportunities and some of these office jobs, these monthly paid employment, they might not pay you enough because come to think of it you might get a job now that will take you to the Island and you will discover that at the end of each day you spend close to a thousand or more daily. Tell me how such a person can save anything."

A tricycle ticket vendor in Ikeja, Lagos who pleaded anonymity said one of the problems Keke Drivers encounter in the business is insatiable passengers.

He noted that this problem is not peculiar to female gender, as some male counterparts also encounter same.

"Most of them (keke riders) are graduates. The challenges are the same for both genders. One of your passengers can decide to withhold his or her fare because you didn't stop where he/she wants you to even when that place is not a bus stop."

He opined that the business requires patience just like other businesses and encouraged more women and ladies to join them.

The Oscar thing is an injustice. I don't even know what to say about it. He deserves to remain behind bars.

Why are you smiling at "South Africa's overcrowded jails" ? You do know it's not only South Africans crowding those jails, right?

You are all aware of the various security challenges facing our nation. These challenges include the activities of Boko Haram terrorists, armed banditry, kidnapping, militancy of various forms to mention a few.
