PoliticsRe: A Suggestion On How The National Assembly Should Be Run by pacodas(op): 11:47pm On Jun 13, 2015
It's a tough call, I agree.
PoliticsA Suggestion On How The National Assembly Should Be Run by pacodas(op): 2:00pm On Jun 13, 2015
I saw this as a comment on Vanguard and decided to post it here. Read below and share your thoughts.

It is a good thing the theme of this administration is -'Anti-corruption' Lets see how anti-corrupt these people really are.

I suggest that our lawmakers should earn a monthly salary pegged to a ratio (2 times or- 3 times) of minimum wage as monthly basic salary....then anybody who is coming (except the senate president/speaker, their deputies, chief whips, and majority/minority leaders in both houses) should come at their own convenience(their own houses, their own cars, domestic staff,personal assistants, entertainment, handle their own utilities, clothing, newspapers)

This should be their renumeration:
Salary:2 - 3 times minimum wage , (Senate president x5. Deputy, x4 minimum wage)
total annual salaries Not more than N250,000(Including total annual allowance...senate president N500,000, Deputy, N375,000)
Estacodes- $100 ,
Tour duty allowance -N2,500....
Annual allowances of N250,000,
Leave: N50,000..
Medical allowance- Free for the honorables and any of their (provable) immediate family members in any Nigerian hospital of choice..Senate foots the bill.
Family allowance: Free education for their children in any public institution of their choice in Nigeria.(Federal Universities, Public Secondary schools, Public primary schools)
Transportation allowance: Free bus passes with transport partners of RMFAC ALONG WITH A free fuel card topped with a preloaded amount at a partner filling station of the RMAFC.
Communication allowance- They should each register one phone at swearing in and by virtue of this, get a free N1,000 recharge card on that carrier once in every month.

...and their attendance, input, voting pattern on bills, and bills they suggested in the form of a report-card report should be published on the Senate and NAS website so that their constituencies and opponents can determine how effective those they voted in were/how the bills they suggested would impact the welfare of their own people and Nigeria wide..Or if they just went to sit down and look like scoreboards....Plus it will help them vote according to their conscience.......
(They would need computers for this..with logins and passwords...on their seats(to do this quickly)..so that they can log in to vote...Instead of shouting Aye and Nay like bushmen....or fight as a result of disagreements) ..The voting system should be changed...so that the bill will be on their screen, who moved what motions and who suggested what bills.....and the computers should be networked to a projector screen to show graph results of voting results(so that everyone can see it)...This will make their voting patterns to be easily compilable in a report for their constituencies to make use of. ...
(If you cannot do this or understand the vision, just invite me to Nigeria, allow me be the project director to implement this and I will happily do it for free without cost and let you suggest and pay the contractors who will implement the exact kind of system I am talking about here....I would just need access to a few Universities who would suggest not more than 20 students to work on the project with me.programmers, .getting information related to the basic requirements of the system and patterns of activities in the houses to come up with the perfect computerized system for this)

This will help the people who voted them in, decide if they should send them back there..if they were complacent in their activities. ...and It will also serve as a motivation to the honorables to be more active..which will benefit all of Nigeria..

Una no dey see as USA debates between senators dey make them point fingers to each other because they have a system to know who voted for what, who suggested what bill,......etc .... so that they can use this information when validating points against each other.....Senator X supported this bill- I dunno what he was thinking..etc....It will also help reduce corruption in the houses especially from those who give bribes and those who collect them.

Then we will have people who go to the Senate or National assembly to really fight for the people because only then will they understand the real living conditions of the people...

Anybody going to the national assembly or senate should do so just for their CV reasons. not to grow fat off of the nation....

The National assembly is beginning to attract failures in life who only hope to get there , mark present in attendance and enrich themselves.

Ben Bruce is a self made billionaire....Of course a self made man like that doesn't need Nigeria's money because he has his own fortune.....Please Ben Bruce, read this and take it to the House and move a motion for these things I mentioned to be implemented.

PoliticsFG Did Not Cut Electricity Tariff By 50%, Here Is an Explanation Why by pacodas(op):
Newspaper and several online reports yesterday carried headlines that electricity tariffs were cut by a whopping 50%. This claim was based on a directive issued by the National Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC.

What the media failed to realise, is that the body of the NERC release made no reference to how much the new tariff was after its was supposedly cut. To understand how they got it wrong, one will have to look at the press released issued by NERC. Of particular reference is the paragraph that mentioned “50%”.

The Commission has been listening to consumers and taking full account off the impact of high tariff on consumers and the Nigerian economy, has therefore reviewed the basis of the MYTO 2.1 assumptions and has determined that it is inappropriate to transfer to consumers collection losses that are controllable by DISCOs. It is the responsibility of the DISCOs to collect their revenue from their customers. Failure to do so should not be a penalty to customers who pay their bills. It is clear that removing the collection losses will lead to lower tariffs for consumers. The removal of collection losses from customer tariff has reduced tariff by more than 50 percent in some places. Please note that the reduction does not affect the CBN facility and its repayment.

Now check the part that was highlighted again. The commission basically gave an example of how removal of collection losses can reduce tariff by more than 50% “in some places”. This is by no means a confirmation that electricity has suddenly been reduced to 50%.

What the NERC DG was trying to say (which he didn’t explain well) was that assumption for calculating Aggregate Technical, Commercial and Collection losses ( ATC&C losses) is over blown by some Discos. ATC&C losses are basically targets that Discos are allowed to include in their assumptions when computing tariffs. They arise because electricity is a product that does not have storage ability unlike most inventories (like cars, books etc.), and as such when generated some of the energy gets lost through evacuation from the ‘Gencos’ to transmission by the ‘Transico’ and then some through distribution lines (wires and transformers) by the discos. They also must be consumed when generated unlike cars which you can keep and use whenever you wish.

Whilst ATC&C losses are understandable and allowed, the ones that are due to a discos inefficiencies are not allowed to be passed on to consumers. The higher the ATC&C losses allowed to Discos the more it leaves room for manipulation by some inefficient discos making them load those losses via tariffs which customers end up paying . This is basically why NERC said some removal of collection losses (a subset of ATC&C losses which refers to discos inability to collect billed revenues) reduces tariffs by 50% in some cases. It doesn’t mean tariffs will be unilaterally reduced by 50%!!!

Whilst most newspapers got it wrong, NERC has a share of the blame too as it gave out a press release without a definite figure of reduction or what the new tariff now is. This is why most believe the press release was rushed in a bid to score another campaign point for the President.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: 3 Proven Ways To Avoid Being A Victim Of Job Scam by pacodas(op): 10:31am On Mar 10, 2015
Bear this in mind

Jobs/Vacancies3 Proven Ways To Avoid Being A Victim Of Job Scam by pacodas(op): 12:57am On Mar 10, 2015
The increasing number of job scams across the country is becoming frightening, from fake employers to fake recruitment agencies who are out to scam you of your hard earned money all in the name of giving you a job. This post is to enlighten you so that you will be careful and never fall a victim.

At ngcareers.com we are constantly implementing new ways to filter out these scam jobs, but they are getting smarter by the day. Some even go as far as using our name to send out SMS invitations for interviews. As a job seeker you don’t have to be desperate, you have to be smart and on alert.

The following are the 3 things you should consider to avoid being scammed.

1) Look at the job title/description
Before applying for any job, you should look at the job details; watch the tone of the job description. In the past fake jobs advertisers don’t disclose the position or job title they advertise but recently many of them have started disclosing it leaving only few who still don’t. In event they disclose it, the job title are usually generalized with little or no specifics (they do this to get as many applications as possible). Watch out for Job title like Graduate Trainees, Customer Care, Marketing Executive, Graduate Admin Officer, this doesn’t mean that all jobs with these titles are fake but be extra careful when you see titles. On the other hand, the job descriptions are usually generic with no clear explanation on the roles involved in the job.
Most of these fake recruiters/employers target fresh graduates and entry level positions (sometimes mid level) because they believe job seekers in this category are naive and more desperate.

2) Look at the company Name/details
In the past fake job advertisers claim to be a company outside the country, sometimes they use valid company names but use email addresses or websites that doesn’t relate to the company. Recently, they have become more smart and daring, some go as far as using a registered business names. However, watch out for generic names like Global consult, Careerlink Consult, Human Resources Concepts etc
As a job seeker, whenever you see a vacancy, look at the company advertising, if possible do a little background check on the company. Sometimes big companies use HR agencies to recruit, in that case research on the HR company and know if they have track record. Note some companies advertise vacancies anonymously so as to avoid external influence on the recruitment process.

3) Ask Questions before attending any interview
If you are called for any job interview or sent a text message/email by any company that you are not sure of or that looks suspicious to you, politely call, email or SMS the company to get more information. You should ask about the company, the nature of the job and their location. However, you should search online before asking in case their information is already available. If you don’t get a reasonable response from the company or information about them or if they refuse to disclose any of the above information, kindly stay away.

The ultimate aim of these fake recruiters or employers is to collect money from you or give you a slave job. However, which ever is the case, DO NOT PAY ANY COMPANY OR PERSON. STAY SAFE

PoliticsGEJ Vs GMB: How To Choose Whom To Vote For On February 14th by pacodas(op): 11:18am On Feb 04, 2015
Nigerians are at a very critical point, we have two very poor options to choose from. GEJ we know is incompetent, GMB from the look of things is no better.

Comparison
In all sincerity GEJ is a huge disappointment after all the high hopes he gave us in 2011 (his supporters then claimed because it wasn't his tenure, he couldn't do much after Yar'Adua's death because of some cabals. I bought the idea then, many also did). Now they are saying Boko Haram diverted his attention. Did he handle it well? No, he played politics with innocent lives that could have been saved.

GMB on the other hand don't have any concrete plan (if he does we haven't seen it) on how to address the issue at hand. All he says is I will do this and that, he suppose to know how the government system works. (I have this fear that if he wins, Tinubu and his cronies will be the one running things just like Idiagbon did during his military regime).

Good Points
GEJ has done well in the Agriculture sector and the transport sector(rail and probably air transport). This is because he had the right people in that sector, he could have done well in power if he had let the former minister of power Prof Barth continue.

GMB is very passionate about the country, judging from his speeches and body language. He looks patriotic too and seems determined to fix this country.

Bad Points
The biggest dent in GEJ's administration is the calibre of people running the show for him. He is surrounded by sharks and hawks, his decision making has been slow and wrong most times, he doesn't show that will or desire to actually change this country for good.

GMB on the other hand is passionate about this country but he is also surrounded by questionable characters and doesn't seem to have any concrete plans on how to go about fixing the country.

End Note
GEJ is promising to do better in second tenure, but he has nothing to lose if he wins, nothing to spur him to work except his name which from the look of things he doesn't care about (Except he does now but is waiting till after election). He is still surrounded by questionable characters who are only after their pockets, he can never perform with all these persons around him.

GMB seems a lot wiser to learn that one can't get to that seat without first dinning with some people. He feels he has an unfinished job to do (fixing the country) which he failed during the military regime. Moreover, am still disappointed that after contesting for same position two times previously, he has no concrete plans (or has not shown us).

SOLUTION
So what's the solution, here is my take. We know the two devils, and we have to choose one.
OPTION 1: Vote on tribal or religious sentiments whatever is the outcome bear it.
OPTION 2. On election day, pray and cast a lot, then vote.
OPTION 3. Use deductive reasoning and logic to make a choice.
OPTION 4. None of the above, abstain from voting.

**NB** In all sincerity GEJ doesn't deserve a second tenure, if APC had a younger candidate with good track record GEJ would have even lost before election. GMB shows the passion and zeal but am not fully convinced he will deliver. We need someone with great vision, intelligence, charisma, and strength of character and patriotic too.
