Top 10 Takeaways from Croatia's 3-0 Destruction of Argentina http://www.opinions.ng/10-takeaways-croatias-destruction-argentina/

Remember the controversy that trailed the refusal of entry to Firdaus Amasa, a Muslim graduate of the Nigerian Law School over her refusal to remove her hijab for the Call to Bar ceremony?

Well, the Body of Benchers met today and reports reaching us indicate that it is now ready to allow ladies wear the hijab to call to bar ceremonies and Firdaus Amasa will go down in history as the pioneer in this regard.

Reports from Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) and a tweet from her colleague, Abimbola Amusan in which he wrote:

Today history is made.Y’all remember the”Hijab Lady”right?The one dt wore hijab to her Call to Bar in 2017&wasn’t called becos of that. Today(sic) the body of benchers approved the use of hijab for call to bar.She dared to challenge the status quo.We work in the same firm.

Have confirmed this news.

Professional pride and competence is something top professionals do not joke about and Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr is not happy with criticism about his formation for the Super Eagles in their opener against Croatia in a game they lost 2-0.

Jose Mourinho who had initially tipped the Super Eagles to qualify from their group criticised Rohr’s selection on Russsian broadcaster, RT where he is working as a pundit stating:

“I was sad and disappointed the way they (Nigeria) lost. ‎I looked at the composition of the team. On paper they have some good players.

“Croatia now look better placed to qualify from this group.”

Speaking on Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, he said: “Nigeria lost a good No.6 to get a bad No.10.”

Rohr has reacted angrily to this asking the rhetorical question: “Perhaps he wants us to play 3 No. 6s?”

President Donald Trump yesterday signed an Executive Order that will prevent the separation of children of illegal migrants that enter the United States without proper documentation and due process.

This comes amidst widespread outrage over the pictures and videos of children crying after being separated from their parents upon entering the United States under Trump’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy which makes it mandatory to treat migrants that cross the United States border illegally has criminals regardless of any asylum claims they might have.

Meanwhile, those children that have already been separated from their parents have no assurance that they will be reunited with them any time soon as they are due to enter the foster-care system in the United States.

https://www.opinions.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Time-Cover.png

Time’s cover simply puts all of the blame on President Trump who has insisted that the United States cannot continue to allow illegal migrants into its borders without any major repercussions.

This is a very divisive issue and moment in America and Time has captured it poignantly with its cover.

Interesting question.

Meanwhile, See how NURTW endorsed Ambode for 2nd Term

That the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) is a key player in Nigerian politics is not in doubt even as many observers accuse it of being a tool of violence and intimidation used by politicians.

However, there is freedom of association in Nigeria and every lawful organisation or association is free to support candidates of its choice during an election.

Perhaps, having this in mind, NURTW Lagos chapter has announced its endorsement of Lagos state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode for a second term. The union made this announcement via a Facebook post on its account stating:

“Our decision to support him for another term in office is that fact that he has performed well; everone (sic) can see that everything he has done in Lagos State, no other state has been able to do that.”

Governor Ambode must be delighted to have the support of this key group.

Meanwhile, see the last type not in this post, The Forever Husband and wife

You have to see it to believe it.

Marriage is not a bed of roses is what some people claim or is it life in general? Anyway, you get the point, marriage is not easy. We found this list of the kinds of wives and husbands out there. You might identify the kind of spouse you have or the type you would like if you are not married yet.

TYPES OF WIVES

1. BOXING WIVES
These are the type of wives that fight with their husbands deliberately just to provoke him to anger. These kind of women are ready to fight with the husband mostly in the public area to create a scene.

2. HEADMASTER WIVES
These are the wives that are well paid in either their career or business but they disrespect and put their husband down because they have the financial edge over him.

3. POLICE WIFE
This type is very common. These are the wives that inspect or police their husbands everywhere they go … when the husband goes to the bathroom they pick up his phone to quickly check his messages. If the husband makes a call they hide behind the door to listen to every conversation. If the husband goes out they make sure he is followed and have friends that keep an extra eye on the husband’s activities.

4. DICTIONARY WIFE
These are the wives that don’t listen to the advise of their husband but rather they prefer to listen to their mother or sister or friend. Whenever their husband says something, they quickly go to verify from their mother, sister, friend etc like a dictionary to know if they should go ahead with what their husband instructed or not.

5. PARTY WIVES
They prefer to buy every available aso ebi plus shoe and bag to attend any available party even though her family does not have the financial muscle to entertain such expenses. They are readily available at every party and owambe thereby neglecting their children, husband and home.

6. PAMPERED WIVES
These are also known as “daddy’s little girl”. They call and report their husband to their father at any slight argument or conversation. The rich ones are highly dangerous especially when the husband is working directly for the father…

7. DUSTBIN WIVES
The name might sound harsh but they exist. These wives leave the home unkempt and dirty and you only see them rushing to clean the house when they have a visitor at the door. There are several occasions were some husbands get home after a day’s work only to find the house upside down and dirty.

8. GOD FEARING WIVES
They are caring and loving. Provide emotional needs and create extra time for family. Guide home spiritually, are very responsible and treat husband and family with respect.

9. FACEBOOK WIVES
They are always on the Internet, Instagram, posting pictures with twisted legs, chatting and even forget to do basic shores because they want to know what is happening on Facebook.

10. ABSENTEE WIVES
Taken away by work or business, hardly around to keep the household but husband is either still in love or needs her to meet material needs.

So for the ladies which one are you and for the guys which one do you currently have?

Now, let us look at the kinds of husbands out there…

TYPES OF HUSBANDS

1. BACHELOR HUSBAND
Does things on his own without consulting wife. Hangs out a lot with friends more than wife. Not serious about marriage life.

2. ACIDIC HUSBAND
Is always boiling like acid and always angry violent, moody, dominating and very dangerous.

3. SLAVE-DRIVER HUSBAND
Wants to be treated like a King but treats wife like a slave. Likes wife to perform old tradition respect and hates being called by their first name.

4. GENERAL HUSBAND
Husband for every woman. Loves and cares for girlfriends more than his wife. Likes giving money to girlfriends and has more female friends.

5. DRY HUSBAND
Very moody and stingy, doesn’t consider wife’s emotions, doesn’t make the relationship enjoyable. Has no sense of humour.

6. PANADOL HUSBAND
Uses wife as problem solver, only loves wife when needing something from her. Is clever and knows wife’s weaknesses and capitalizes on that to get relief from wife.

7. PARASITE HUSBAND
Lazy and only loves wife for the sake of money. Uses wife’s money on girlfriends. No initiative and does not help wife with house responsibilities.

8. BABY HUSBAND
Irresponsible and childish and can’t make decisions on his own without asking his mother or relatives; compares wife to relatives and runs to them always if something goes wrong.

9. VISITING HUSBAND
Not always at home, comes as a visitor. Provides family all material things but has no time for them.

10. CARING HUSBAND
Caring and loving. Provides material and emotional needs and makes time for family. Guides home spiritually. Very responsible and treats wife as partner and helper.

There you have it folks, what kind of husband/wife are you or would like to be.

President Buhari has signed the 2018 budget into law amidst speculation that he is not entirely comfortable with the document as passed by the National Assembly, read what he said at the signing ceremony next…

Speech By His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria, At The Signing Into Law, The 2018 Appropriation Bill, Presidential Villa, Abuja

Wednesday, June 20th, 2018

Protocols

I would like to thank the leadership of the National Assembly, particularly the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, as well as all the Distinguished Senators and Honourable Members, for passing the 2018 Appropriation Bill, after seven months.

When I submitted the 2018 Budget proposals to the National Assembly on 7th November 2017, I had hoped that the usual legislative review process would be quick, so as to move Nigeria towards a predictable January-December financial year. The importance of this predictability cannot be overemphasized.

While the Federal Government’s budget represents less than 10% of aggregate yearly expenditures in the economy, it has a very significant accelerator effect on the financial plans of other tiers of government, and even more importantly, the private sector, which mostly operates on a January-December financial year.

Notwithstanding the delay this year, I am determined to continue to work with the National Assembly towards improving the budgeting process and restoring our country to the January-December fiscal cycle.

I note, with pleasure, that the National Assembly is working on the enactment of an Organic Budget Law, so as to improve the efficiency of the nation’s budgetary process.

As I mentioned during the presentation of the 2018 Appropriation Bill, we intend to use the 2018 Budget to consolidate the achievements of previous budgets and deliver on Nigeria’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) 2017-2020.

It is in this regard that I am concerned about some of the changes that the National Assembly has made to the budget proposals that I presented. The logic behind the Constitutional direction that budgets should be proposed by the Executive is that, it is the Executive that knows and defines its policies and projects.

Unfortunately, that has not been given much regard in what has been sent to me. The National Assembly made cuts amounting to 347 billion Naira in the allocations to 4,700 projects submitted to them for consideration and introduced 6,403 projects of their own amounting to 578 billion Naira.

Many of the projects cut are critical and may be difficult, if not impossible, to implement with the reduced allocation. Some of the new projects inserted by the National Assembly have not been properly conceptualized, designed and costed and will therefore be difficult to execute.

Furthermore, many of these new projects introduced by the National Assembly have been added to the budgets of most MDAs with no consideration for institutional capacity to execute them or the incremental recurrent expenditure that may be required.

As it is, some of these projects relate to matters that are the responsibility of the States and Local Governments, and for which the Federal Government should therefore not be unduly burdened.

Such examples of projects from which cuts were made are as follows:

The provisions for some nationally/regionally strategic infrastructure projects such as Counter-part funding for the Mambilla Power Plant, Second Niger Bridge/ancillary roads, the East-West Road, Bonny-Bodo Road, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and Itakpe-Ajaokuta Rail Project were cut by an aggregate of 11.5 billion Naira.

Similarly, provisions for some ongoing critical infrastructure projects in the FCT, Abuja especially major arterial roads and the mass transit rail project, were cut by a total of 7.5 billion Naira.

The provision for Rehabilitation and Additional Security Measures for the United Nations Building by the FCT, Abuja was cut by 3.9 billion Naira from 4 billion Naira to 100 million Naira; this will make it impossible for the Federal Government of Nigeria to fulfill its commitment to the United Nations on this project.

The provisions for various Strategic Interventions in the health sector such as the upgrade of some tertiary health institutions, transport and storage of vaccines through the cold chain supply system, provision of anti-retroviral drugs for persons on treatment, establishment of chemotherapy centres and procurement of dialysis consumables were cut by an aggregate amount of 7.45 billion Naira.

The provision for security infrastructure in the 104 Unity Schools across the country were cut by 3 billion Naira at a time when securing our students against acts of terrorism ought to be a major concern of government.

The provision for the Federal Government’s National Housing Programme was cut by 8.7 billion Naira.

https://www.opinions.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/President-Buhari-signs-the-2018-Budget-into-Law-670x447.jpg

At a time when we are working with Labour to address compensation-related issues, a total of 5 billion Naira was cut from the provisions for Pension Redemption Fund and Public Service Wage Adjustment.

The provisions for Export Expansion Grant (EEG) and Special Economic Zones/Industrial Parks, which are key industrialization initiatives of this Administration, were cut by a total of 14.5 billion Naira.

The provision for Construction of the Terminal Building at Enugu Airport was cut from 2 billion Naira to 500 million Naira which will further delay the completion of this critical project.

The Take-off Grant for the Maritime University in Delta State, a key strategic initiative of the Federal Government, was cut from 5 billion Naira to 3.4 billion Naira.

About seventy (70) new road projects have been inserted into the budget of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing. In doing so, the National Assembly applied some of the additional funds expected from the upward review of the oil price benchmark to the Ministry’s vote. Regrettably, however, in order to make provision for some of the new roads, the amounts allocated to some strategic major roads have been cut by the National Assembly.

Another area of concern is the increase by the National Assembly of the provisions for Statutory Transfers by an aggregate of 73.96 billion Naira. Most of these increases are for recurrent expenditure at a time we are trying to keep down the cost of governance.

An example of this increase is the budget of the National Assembly itself which has increased by 14.5 billion Naira, from 125 billion Naira to 139.5 billion Naira without any discussion with the Executive.

Notwithstanding the above stated observations, I have decided to sign the 2018 Budget in order not to further slowdown the pace of recovery of our economy, which has doubtlessly been affected by the delay in passing the budget.

However, it is my intention to seek to remedy some of the most critical of these issues through a supplementary and/or amendment budget which I hope the National Assembly will be able to expeditiously consider.

I am pleased with the success recorded in the implementation of the 2017 Budget. A total sum of 1.5 trillion Naira has been released for the implementation of capital projects during the 2017 fiscal year. In response to this and other policy measures implemented, we have observed significant improvement in the performance of the Nigerian economy.

To achieve the laudable objectives of the 2018 Budget, we will work very hard to generate the revenues required to finance our projects and programmes. The positive global oil market outlook, as well as continuing improvement in non-oil revenues, make us optimistic about our ability to finance the budget.

However, being a deficit budget, the Borrowing Plan will be forwarded to the National Assembly shortly. I crave the indulgence of the National Assembly for a speedy consideration and approval of the Plan.

The 2018 Budget I have just signed into law provides for aggregate expenditures of 9.12 trillion Naira, which is 22.6% higher than the 2017 Appropriation. Further details of the approved budget will be provided by the Minister of Budget and National Planning.

I thank the Ministers of Budget and National Planning, the Budget Office of the Federation, and everyone who worked tirelessly and sacrificed so much to bring us to this day. However, the job is only partly done.

I am sure you will remain committed to advancing our Change Agenda, not only in the preparation of the national budget, but also in ensuring its effective implementation.

I thank you and may God bless Nigeria.
