President Muhammadu Buhari had his Democracy Day address to Nigerians today and he kept his biggest announcement for last and made it in a rather bland manner.

The President said: “In few days to come, I will be joined by many promising young Nigerians to sign into law the “Not Too Young to Run” Bill.

Nonetheless, this will change the face of politics in Nigeria as it makes active participation in actual governance more open to the youths who make a sizeable proportion of the population.

Once assented to thereby becoming an Act, this new piece of legislation will ensure changes to some parts of Nigeria’s election provisions.

The effect of the bill in terms of age qualifications for elective offices are:

The age requirement for President is reduced from 40 to 30 years, that of Governor is reduced from 35 to 30 years and Senate is reduced from 35 to 30 years.

Meanwhile, the minimum age qualification for a seat in the House of Representatives and State Assemblies is reduced from 30 to 25 years.

This means we might see a lot of younger people holding public office in Nigeria from 2019 when the next general elections will be held.

In a court of law the suggestion I gave is the only judgement this case will receive. There's a legal saying which goes "ignorance is not an excuse.". It strongly applies here.

Your point supports my point jor. The subscriber as far as Star Times is concerned is the first person.

Abeg, we need more expert opinions from Lawyers.

The money goes to the individual who entered the contest. It's simple logic. All the man who originally bought the card has to do is appear, at most give consent for the owner to collect his money. Nothing should go to the original owner.

But StarTimes seems obliged to do business with the man whose name appears on their database now.

Promo Gone Wrong (PGW)?

Which one is making overall sense?

DSTV, STARTIMES, KWESE OR TSTV?

StarTimes is currently having a promo where subscribers have the chance to win N1 million. However, there is some controversy over who the 2nd week’s winner is.

One person bought the card in his name and gave it as a gift to another person 2 years later. The receiver then entered the contest and has won but he cannot redeem the N1 million because the card is registered under the initial buyer’s name (his friend that gave the decoder as a gift).

Now, StarTimes is confused as to who to give the prize to.

See their tweet:

Your thought?
Who should get StarTimes N1,000,000 in the week 2 draw?

Also, we would like to inform our customers to ensure that their decoders have correct details.#StarTimesMillionairePromo

Activists across Nigeria are marking today, May 28 as a national day of mourning over the widespread and incessant killings in Nigeria. Several states including Benue, Taraba and Zamfara have been hit by persistent violence with some caused by herders/farmers conflicts and in other places armed bandits kill indiscriminately.

Tired of the federal government’s seeming inability to curb the violence, activists took to the streets of Lagos and Abuja to draw attention to the state of affairs in Nigeria, with the hope that more urgent and effective action will be taken.

Among the notable Nigerians supporting this campaign include superstar singer, TuBaba also knows as 2Baba (formerly 2Face), Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Mathew Hassan Kukah and Co-founder of BudgIT, Oluseun Onigbinde.

We share pictures of the peaceful marches next:

Terrible night for Mo Salah.

The 2018 UEFA Champions League final has come and gone with Gareth Bale scoring twice to give Real Madrid a 3-1 victory. Loris Karius had an awful game directly at fault for the 1st and 3rd goal scored by Madrid.

You can make up your mind if the Liverpool goalkeeper was at fault for this Gareth Bale screamer.

However, the main talking point of the match has to be Sergio Ramos’ tackle on Mohamed Salah that led to a dislocated shoulder that forced the Egyptian out of the match and threatens his participation at the World Cup in Russia next month.

However, an adage states: “a picture speaks more than a thousand words”.

See this picture of Cristiano Ronaldo looking at Mo Salah in the tunnel before the game with what looks like disgust or contempt.

Then during the match see Ramos continually exerting pressure on Salah’s arm.

Kareem Benzema and Sadio Mane were also on the score sheet on a night that saw Real Madrid win its 13th UEFA Champions League title. Congratulations to them.

Like the SAN rightly put it, this is no time to sit on the fence, I call on all well-meaning patriotic Nigerians who truly believe in one United Progressive Nigeria where fairness, peace and justice shall reign to join in the movement to get Nigeria to work in our time by electing His Excellency Atiku Abubakar as the next President not because he is necessarily the smartest amongst over 180 million people, but because he has rare qualities of building bridges which is a prerequisite for getting us out of the real conundrum of bigotry and identity politics that eventually will put us on the path that leads to all round growth and development.

Are you thinking: "I don't know where to start?"

See 20 Businesses You Can Start With N100,000

Divide your salary by 30 days and see what you get (i.e. the number of days in a month and see the funny thing about your salary plan).

For example, an average level-12 worker in the state government civil service earns N60,000.

And this translates to N 60,000÷30= N 2,000 every day. This is less than the amount made daily by an average hawker in the city.

A freshly employed graduate banker in most Nigerian banks earns an average of N120,000 monthly.

So every day, you get N120,000÷30= N4,000 as the daily value for your work-life. By implication, this is less than the amount earned daily by an average driver in the city and in some villages.

If you are a fresh graduate employee in some oil companies, you earn an average of N300,000 monthly. So in a day your work-value is N300,000 ÷ 30= N10,000

This is less than the daily amount earned by an irrigation farmer supplying vegetables to Lagos markets, a tipper driver supplying sand for three block industries and construction sites just 3 times a day and drivers of Dangote trucks who have bought-off the trucks at scrap value and are using them to convey products between villages and the cities for just five business owners.

Hope by now, it is sinking in, right?

And when there is an issue in the family that requires financial assistance, the drivers, hawkers and the rest are looking up to you with a white collar job.

If you are an NYSC member, you don’t need to be told that:

N19,800÷30 = N660 is your worth on a daily basis.

I hope you know that pure water sellers who own a shop, a pepper soup joint and a small Toyota Corolla car to distribute pure water to five restaurants earn more than you and wheel-barrow pushers working on contract for three warehouses probably make more money than you each day.

Wake up and be more productive. We should be more proactive, create room for more income and strive to diversify our streams of income.

The earlier you wake up and smell the coffee, the better for you.

Someone right now will say this analysis is too ideal to be true but take your time and do it, you will grasp the crux!

Stop waiting for the government to feed you, feed yourself and help the government feed others. That is where we are in this age.
