Am fully in support of the anti corruption fight. However, some things don't add up with this news:
1. During BVN exercise, account holder is required to sign and verify biometric finger print.
2. How could Stella Idua's signature be used for her maid's bio data.
3. How is it possible that the account is still operational till now?
Anyway, SR has a way of digging out dirt in detail. We wait

If this really happened, then the bank was involved to create the account specially for her. Politicians & bankers work hand in hand when corrupt act like this is involved.

nwadiuko1:
dats true........but did they reach the supreme court?

Yes, it was the Supreme Court that passed judgment on the matter. It's the same thing happened to Bello in Kogi state when Audu passed on.

seunmsg:
The supreme court may likely reverse the judgement of the high court as the said Ogah did not participate in all the electoral process. I think it's better for all the appeal processes to be exhausted before the execution of any court order. The status quo should remain till then.

If you remember the case of Omehia & Rotimi Amaechi during his first tenure, when Omehia became governor on the platform of PDP, but Amaechi contested he was the winner of the primaries, you'll realize it's a similar pattern @ play here too.
In this situation, it's about the party that won the election, so if there's a tussle, they'll fight dirty till the best man wins.

LOL

Look at ekweremadu in Igbo native attire seeking to elicit sympathy and support from Igbos who have not benefited anything from him in his 8 years in NASS.

Baba carry your cross o

Honestly you took those words out of my mouth. I don't think I've seen him dressed in his native attire before now..

swtdrms:
Very much welcome

I've sent it.

swtdrms:
That's not suppose to be a challenge, but i hope u understand that our most challenge is knowing wch languages u program in, ur coding style/pattern and important to m, ur location. Am in abj, Apo to be precise. If u re within my location then we can link up.

Aww! unfortunately I'm based in lagos. Can i send you a pm though?

swtdrms:
Just one and one talent/skill/profession. I eat code, drink code, sniff code, sleep code. I am a programmer. Over 8 after grad, never thot of serious paid employment, not easy at first, but now glory to Allah. Lots of projects i can't even handle alone.

Can you subcontract some of your jobs, i can be of help if you're doing it all alone.. Thanks!

Pavore9:
No big deal. I recall when l went to my bank in Nairobi (Barclays) to withdraw, the lady across the counter was kind enough to remind me that l will be charged an equivalent of $6 for over the counter withdrawal, $6 that will get me 10 litres of milk! I had to go to the ATM.

You don't joke with your milk.. Lol

ekpotek:
Got one installed in December 2015. Cost me N250K including installtion. Consist of
130watt mono x6 panels N120,000
35Amp solar charger controller N15000
200Amh deep cycle batteriea x2 N100000
3KVa modified sine wave 12v inverter. Systems still workiing and powers my big fridge. Get up to six hours of power supply after sunset. Saves me about 10 litres of petrol everyday for my generator.

You didn't state the cost of the inverter, how much did it cost you.. Did you install it yourself?

The front view looked scary, but from the sideview, the bridge isn't that steep, so vehicles can drive uphill without much trouble.

On a lighter note, I've noticed over the years when i travel to the east that onitsha bread is always hard especially ofoma bread. I think the people like it that way, else the bakeries would have made some improvement already. Don't ever attempt to eat the bread without fluid, else you'd choke.. Lol

mastercee:
Jeremiah Useni is a senator?

I hope it's not the same Jeremiah Useni that served as the minister of FCT under Abacha?

Definitely the same guy. I think he's representing Plateau state in the Senate. He won the seat in the last election if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, Energy from Waste plant can potentially be one our energy solutions in Nigeria. I was even discussing it with a much more senior Engineer the other day about bringing it across Africa and He said that it’s very possible in Nigeria especially but the constraint will be the procurement of the construction process and as you said it’s really a tall order (it can definitely be done) To me the issue is with the funders. I do have contact of process plant suppliers. Once someone can get a developer with money to spend, it can be built in Nigeria, it’s about convincing the Alikos, Tinubus of this world to fund it. The one I’m currently working on has a capacity of 20MW which will produce a monthly equivalent of 11,520MW.h.
The funny thing about the waste is that the plant operators buy wastes as far away as Germany and bring to the UK to use as a source of energy.

Honesty, from what I've seen it's big business, & the raw materials are lying everywhere in the country. Please can i grt in touch with you, i noticed the nairaland pm isn't working. Thanks!

modath:
Hello..It didn't deliver!! Only saw the notification here.

Oh i didn't know it didn't work. Very well then, guess i would make due with nairaland.

shine12:
I do agree with you.
Nigeria organisations/Banks/Universities spend a fortune on buildings but it pains my heart that a lot of these buildings still looks pre 1960 residential buildings.An example is just going to the website of the private Universities with expensive large RC house looking libraries, they are not masterpieces but are still expensive.

As far as we keep allowing foreign Engineers to come and design our big challenging highway,bridge and Mall projects, we will never develop. Our Engineers needs to push the boundaries of Structural Engineering (I'm not talking about a Site Civil Engineer,their experience is needed as well as buildability is important as well) unless, we might never go beyond the basic RC column and beam square grid designs.

There are loads of Nigerian Structural Engineers practicing in the UK and USA who has enormous wealth of experience in designing world class structures; Energy from Waste Plants,Ship yards,distribution centres.I beg them to come home.

As a Structural engineer, I'm looking to start a design firm in Lagos next year as I have been opportuned by God's grace to have designed innovative and challenging structures such as bunkers, conveyor systems, Energy from waste plants.These are innovative out of the box structures.

For the Op saying He corrects Architects drawings,no Architect that is trained and professional will make the most basic rookie mistake of putting a sink to block the door,you might have been dealing with non experienced drafters.

I've had interest in Energy from waste, but after going through my research, it seemed like a tall dream to achieve cause we don't have anyone with that kind of expertise. Glad to see a Nigerian with immense experience in the structural aspect. We really need something of this nature in the country, it's long overdue.

Why would the army be involved in this, they're derailing from their core objective. If it was built strictly for its operations, it would have been a different ball game..instead of them to do more research on how to develop better weapons, they're selling. Wetin pesin no go see for this country sef

RuuDie:
I no need to check anybody... I grew up with this young man; watched and argued EPL, study, play and partied together. I know am reach house, so who be Stella!? Abegi...

I know him too, he's mum is a friend of my mum, so know the rest of his siblings. If he was married with 4kids,we would have celebrated with him & extended family. This goes to show that these bloggers lie alot to make a living... Just imagine people who don't know him from adam calling him a gold digger.

Just wonder why there's no level playing ground in this country. Can't someone from a humble background aspire to work in any government establishment by merit without knowing anyone. How would these guys strive for excellence when they got the job on a platter of gold. we need strong institutions in this country, you don't build solid institutions like this! Entrepreneurship isn't for everyone, cause I'm sure after putting their kids in juicy positions, they'd gather the unemployed youths to learn how to make soap.. No wonder churches have become the last hope of the common man

Currency depreciations and devaluations do not exist in a void. They are caused by one factor or the other.

For instance, the dollar has been appreciating against the Euro and other currencies in the past 1 year. That means the naira will depreciate against it.

Also, inflation is an implicit devaluation of your currency. If the inflation rate is 10% per year, that means the currency is worth 10% less than the previous year. In the short or long term, such a currency has to devalue.

Countries with very low inflation tend to maintain their value vis a vis countries with higher inflation.

Next, if your currency is properly priced, you can never deplete your reserves!

A good example is India. In 1991, it had only $1b in its foriegn reserves. It was in very desperate situation. It now allowed the currency to float, to be fully determined by market forces.

Immediately, dollars started flowing in from abroad replenishing the foriegn reserves. From $1b, it now$295b.

Buhari has done the complete opposite of floating and the country is in a dilemma.

You speak of depleting the reserves but you are silent on replenishing it? How do you bring in more dollars? That is where the government is failing.

Nobody will bring in forex at 197. Those who receive WU are livid at the poor rates. Is it someone bringing in $10m that will be pleased?

Ok i get your point,those with forex would operate @ a terrible loss, while the banks & bdc would be raking in mega profits. My only fear is if the naira is devalued, the price of fuel & other commodities will skyrocket unless govt flood more naira into the system to give people purchasing power, & the also be exchange rate in the BM may shift again if the supply of dollar doesn't match it's demand...

grandstar:
The present tools government is using is causing mayhem in the economy. They have proven to be blunt and highly ineffective shortchanging almost everyone. The best indicator of this is that a bag of pure water is now 100 naira.

The proper thing to do is to allow the currency depreciate to its real value based on the present forex earning so that the government can provide enough forex to everyone who demands it.

GEJ allowed the currency to depreciate snd that is why is why despite oil prices falling from $118 to $45, the naira fell from 165 to 210.

It is the opposite with PMB who said he won't allow the currency to depreciate from day 1. That is why there is so much bedlam.

I don't think you're still getting the point, the reason why government doesn't want to devalue is because even if it does, the value will still change over time. Cbn can no longer release dollars from our reserves causes it's already depleted. It would mean giving out more than we are getting in through exports, which is not the possibility for now since the major export earner for us has depreciated in value.. If we exhaust our reserves, the naira will loss its value.

iPopAlomo:
This statement though...

No one would agree to be the witness... fear of intimidation and all... after God... fear Nigerian Police...

The sad thing is that she's saying it like she witnessed the incident first hand.. Smh for Nigerian Police.

But The Same Terror Guy Was Shown On TVC News Last Night In Chains....He Was Still Talking With No Sign Of Bullets In His Body Nor Tortured.... Dunno What To Believe Again.

I saw him too on TVC news last night, he was looking hail & hearty, when he spoke, he claimed to be innocent & threatened whoever set him up would die. The police guys yelled @ him...

Send me a mail. phranktzy2k7@gmail.com. Awaiting your reply. Thanks!

The man is really courageous. Stuffs like this is a norm in our society. The likes of Dangote, Adenuga, Otedola et al are definitely involved in "if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours"...

These big shopping malls have always been a conduit for products from their country to be exported into countries they are located. They see the bigger picture unlike our leaders that are short sighted.

Their advert on naija info is enough to make you wana go there to see things for yourself. Wetin person no go see for this country sef, people go there to spend their money,I'm sure the chocolate would be expensive, yet not knowing they've been eating poisoned food.
