No, I don't

but wikipedia says Lingua franca also called a bridge language, trade language, or vehicular language, is a language systematically used to make communication possible between persons not sharing a native language, in particular when it is a third language, distinct from both native languages.

All persons wishing to be employed by government of Ghana next year should look elsewhere to actualize their dreams, as Government has stated categorically that it would not employ anyone in 2015.
Seth Terkper, Finance Minister, disclosed this in the 2015 annual budget statement he presented to Parliament on Wednesday in Accra.
According to him, “Government would pursue the continuation of the policy of net freeze on employment into all sectors of the public services (excluding education and health).
He added that there would be non-replacement of departing public sector employees in overstaffed areas.”
The 2013 World Factbook, a compilation of factual information from the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), estimates that Ghana’s employed population stood at 12.07 million.
This means a lot of people in the country are unemployed. Of the employed, 60 percent were into agriculture, while the rest operated in other sectors. IMF Okays 2015 budget The recent stance by Government on additional taxes and the employment freeze can be said to be prescriptions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The IMF, in a press release issued recently, welcomed government’s 2015 budget, presented to Parliament last week, which targeted a reduction of the fiscal deficit by 3.5 percentage points of GDP (on a commitment basis).
It continued that “with projected arrears repayments of 1.2 percent of GDP next year, the cash deficit will be equivalent to 6.5 percent of GDP in 2015, down from 9.5 percent in 2014. The budget includes some important measures to increase revenues to eliminate distortive and inefficient energy subsidies, and to contain growth in Ghana’s comparatively high public wage bill. At the same time, the budget allows for maintaining public investment above 5 percent of GDP, as well as increasing social protection spending targeted at the most vulnerable.”
“The mission also welcomes the government’s aim to implement structural reforms to underpin a sustained consolidation towards a fiscal deficit objective of 3.5 percent of GDP by 2017. Reforms will include strengthening public finance management, reducing tax exemptions, enhancing tax administration and reviewing the earmarking of revenues for statutory funds. Efforts to clean up the payroll and enhance its management have been initiated and should be pursued swiftly. These efforts, together with the implementation of appropriate pay and hiring policies, will help further control the wage bill, which has been a significant source of fiscal risk.
“Taken together, these fiscal measures, combined with sound debt management and actions to further boost the effectiveness of the Bank of Ghana’s inflation targeting framework should help restore macroeconomic stability.
The IMF team said it would continue to support the authorities, as they work in the coming weeks in several areas to take concrete steps in cleaning up the payroll, finalize the remaining details of their medium-term reforms and to seek external financing assurances from bilateral donors and international institutions.
“Once this work is completed, a financial arrangement to support Ghana’s economic programme would be agreed at staff level before being proposed for the IMF Executive Board’s consideration.”

Terror organisation al-Shabaab have claimed an attack that killed 28 people on a bus in Northern Kenya.
Around 100 gunmen, who are believed to have travelled over the border in Mandera county from Somalia, took the bus off the road before separating the passengers.
It is believed they asked travellers to recite passages from the Koran, shooting dead those who were unable to prove they were practising Muslims.
A statement on a website linked to the extremist organisation said the attack was carried out in retaliation for security raids on mosques in the coastal city of Mombassa earlier this week.
Kenya's Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government claimed on their official account earlier today: "Attackers camp has been destroyed by KDF using helicopters and jets, many killed, operations continue."
The bus was travelling to the Kenyan capital Nairobi when it was stopped in the northern county that borders Somalia.
Around 60 people were on the bus at the time of the attack, and it is thought that among the dead are Kenyan public servants – including four police officers - who were heading to the capital for the Christmas holiday.
Mandera East deputy County Commissioner Elvis Korir said the passengers were then separated into two groups. The Somali passengers watched in horror as non-Somalis were herded away from the bus and then killed.
Mr Korir added that many details over the attack remain unclear, but the deaths underscore fears over the lack of security, especially in the remote parts of northern Kenya. Abdullahi Abdirahman, the Arabiya Ward Representative, told the Daily Nation: "This place has been prone to attacks, this is not the first time the government has totally ignored us, and you can now see the how many innocent precious lives have been lost".
In early November, gunmen killed 20 police officers and two police reservists in an ambush in Turkana county in the northwest of Kenya.
The northern region of Kenya is awash with guns due to its proximity with Somalia and Ethiopia, from where the armed Oromo Liberation Front has made incursions into Kenya.
Since 2011 the Somalia-based terror group al-Shabaab, which is linked to al-Qaeda, have carried out a series of attacks in Kenya, including the Westgate Mall attack in which 67 people were killed.

i think we all need to learn the koran now?

Following Thursday’s invasion of the National Assembly by security agents, Senate President and chairman of the National Assembly, David Mark, has shut down the federal parliament.
The pandemonium reached a climax when Mark, speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, alongside other members of the National Assembly, journalists and staff of the federal parliament were tear-gassed by security agents.
Consequently, while Tambawal forced his way through the small gate, other lawmakers who accompanied him scaled over the gate.
He condemned the application of maximum force on legislators and civil servants who were in their respective offices to do their duties.
Details later…

China Railway Construction Corp has signed a $12 billion deal with Nigeria to construct a West African coastal railway, stretching about 1,402 kilometres. This was announced by Chinese state news agency Xinhua on Thursday.
The project will link Nigeria’s economic capital, Lagos, from the west with Calabar in the southeast. Both are considered critical commercial hubs of the country, holding two of the busiest seaports. The project will create about 200,000 jobs and will help Beijing gain a footing in resourceful regions of Africa.
China seeks to establish standard trading relationships and construction projects around the world, thereby placing its manufacturing sector higher in the value chain.
“It is a mutually beneficial project,” CRCC Chairman Meng Fengchao told Xinhua. He added the railway project will lead to equipment exports from China worth $4 billion, including construction machinery, trains and steel products.
Trade between China and Nigeria totalled $13.6 billion last year.
All of these efforts have stepped up its presence on the African continent, as it seeks more resources and new markets to drive its economic growth.

No one can convince me that Boko haram is not islamic or not from the north...

Some facts from the page:

A spokesman of Boko Haram claimed that Kano state governor Ibrahim Shekarau and Bauchi state governor Isa Yugudahad paid them (Boko Haram members) monthly.

Co-founder of the APC, Sagir Mohammed, has stated:
"We believe we have the capacity, the willpower to go to any part of Nigeria to protect our Northern brothers in distress ... If it becomes necessary, if we have to use violence, we have to use it to save our people. If it means jihad, we will launch our jihad."

Limibanti:
This is a sad thread to comment on..Nothing can be more painful to a Muslim fellow than see people committing taboos in the name of Allah that one so much cherish..Boko haram is a monster that I can't even get a clear picture of how they make people buy into their ideology..Although our political games made this issue a greater problem because you don't go to war with a divided house..The only way Nigerian Muslims can restore our pride is to pray to Allah to flush out bokoharam..Even at Jumat service, am not always comfortable, they a see an ideal muslim as an enemy and they have killed too many christains too which is highly uncalled for..Shariah law can never be practised in Nigeria, we are a country with mixed religions and diverse culture. Dominance of one belief make others irrelevant..I just pray we get over BH quickly!!

On Monday, Mr. Essien Abel, the Director of Strategic Planning, ECOWAS Commission, announced that The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has set a 2020 deadline for the commencement of its single currency policy in the region.
“The 2020 vision seeks to create a borderless, peaceful, prosperous and cohesive region built on good governance. It will also give people the capacity to access and harness its enormous resources through the creation of opportunities for sustainable development and environmental preservation,” Essien said at a meeting on Strategic Planning Framework for 2016 – 2020 in Calabar, Nigeria.
“The 2016-2020 vision is specifically to ensure congruence of purpose and to ensure the effective mobilisation and utilisation of the region’s abundant resources and comparative advantage. It will also provide the general framework for advancing integration wok in the region and guiding national development planning process.’’
To accomplish the single currency goal, member countries are required to implement a number of measures including: Adoption of a market based exchange rate system, micro-economic convergence, removal of trade barriers, the factor of statistical harmonisation, putting in place a payment system infrastructure as well as other facilities that would promote the conduct of monetary policy within the zone.
Experts have been divided on the relevance and importance of the single currency to the economy. While some opined that Nigeria’s economy cannot support the single currency, others believe the best time to implement such a programme is now.
Head of ECOWAS National Unit, Ghana, Mr. Bonaventure Adjavor, believes that the currency will not be affected by the lack of a common language. “I do not see language as a barrier to single currency, the process to adopt the currency is ongoing and a new timetable has been set for 2020. He also said that the use of single currency would facilitate the movement of persons and communication in the West African sub region.
Advocates have argued that to actually achieve economic integration, the sub-region must be united under a single currency.

According to a writer at Yahoo Travel,Lagos is the worst place he has ever visited on planet earth.
Lee Abbamonte,a “travel expert” is the man with this opinion. He is described as “the youngest American to visit all 193 member nations of the United Nations.”
Here’s what he says about Lagos:
“As far as I am concerned, Lagos, Nigeria, is the worst place on planet Earth. I’ve never experienced so much corruption in my life. It was just a horrific experience getting into the country. Crossing in from Benin, we got shaken down by the border guards. In addition to the multiple police shakedowns, the multiple ATM issues were enough for me; three times in two days, the machines dispensed the wrong amount of money. It was oppressive and hot. I couldn’t tell you one good thing about that place.”
