most of these people calling obi bad names here, their past , present and future cannot even reach a quarter person obi is. he is d father of the new anambra.

Don't mind them. I actually don't read comments of such people. Most are e-thugs of corrupt politicians. They see nothing good in a man that's not like their paymasters

Yeyebrities and bragging.

The love I have for Peter Obi eh. If I can be half the man he is (in terms of his values) I will be happy.

Dude doesn't care about how flamboyant someone else is living. He's just concerned about being successful and helping others that are not privileged.

His records in my home state has not been marched yet by the kai-kai drinking one

Copied. Comrades, base on the recent meeting held in Abuja by the committee of Bursars, dated 21st January, 2020 is that the University staff will not be paid with the New National Minimum Wage until the public universities are on IPPIS platform.

This development has enrouted the document earlier directing Vice-chancellors to computes January, 2020 salary with the new national minimum wage table.

This is because the National Minimum Wage of the Universities had initially been on the said IPPIS platform as per the detailed information given by the OAGF during the Bursars meeting.

However the above circular is already beleted as the Universities Bursars had been directed today to re-computes the January, 2020 salary with Government Integrated and Finance Management Information system. (GIFMIS) to maintain status quo.

Additional information regarding this auspicious process is that the (GIFMIS) has been advance in order for us to have our January, salary along with the deductions of union's dues, Bursars will be given a form to fill and return same to the OAGF as soon as this process is completed funds will be available for Bursars to pay salaries even over the weekend.

In view of the foregoing, this is the information i have in my disposal as of today after the return of my University Bursar.

Tessyy1701, please use my signature to chat me up, if you can

I can tell you authoritatively that FG has backed down on using IPPIS to pay salaries for federal schools this January. Monies have been given to schools management to pay salaries as usual. Expect your alerts from today.

I can't confirm if minimum wage will be paid. IPPIS will be used in February as IPPIS payroll officers will be given trainings on payrolling federal schools' staff to avoid mirage of issues that would have arose had it been used this January.

ASUU's threat was also a factor too. Las las, ASUU get power

Naomi Campbell has written an open letter to the organizers of Grammy Awards after Burna Boy’s loss to Angelique Kidjo at the 2020 edition of the awards.

The American supermodel praised Angelique for spreading light and opening minds through her music, stated that Burna Boy has not been given the accolades he truly deserves due to lack of education.

She, however, averred that the categorization of afrobeat in the ‘World Music’ category of the 2020 Grammys, diminished an entire genre in which such a high standard of talent has emerged. Naomi queried the recording academy on the voting pattern of the category, urged them to use the next 363 days to reassess and reflect on their perspective of ‘World Music.’

She wrote;

“First, I want to say deepest congratulations to @angeliquekidjo for her award on Sunday and thank you to you for spreading light and opening minds through your music… And to our AFRICAN GIANT, @burnaboygram… it is only due to lack of education that you have not been honored with the accolades you so truly deserve. You are always a winner in our hearts. ALWAYS. •

And to The @RecordingAcademy, There is something that brings joy, strength, and happiness to myself, and to so many people that hear it, and it is called Afrobeats. Afrobeats is a musical genre played on mainstream and primetime radio not only across the continent of Africa but across the world… •

Recently, the genre was categorized into your ‘World Music’ category at the 2020 Grammys. This misrepresentation diminishes an entire genre in which such a high standard of talent has emerged; a genre that has been a force of hope and positivity for many, and a vehicle for artistry on the continent of Africa. •

Please take the next 363 days to reassess and reflect on your perspective of ‘World Music.’ Did the world get to vote for this award, or was it only the people in the United States a part of The Recording Academy? What will this neglectful categorization of music mean to individual cultures? Cultures who contribute their blood, sweat and tears, and every level of their creativity and work ethic into making music for YOU and for all of us. •

Please get up to speed on the state of all popular music today, and include Afrobeats Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year and all the subcategories that this genre so deserves – just as any other respected and recognized musical genre".

Nigerian Government has approved the payment of N33,000 as monthly allowance for members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The Director-General of NYSC, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, disclosed this during a session with some corps members at the service’s Bauchi State Secretariat.


He explained that the approval was made in line with the implementation of the new National Minimum Wage by the Federal Government.

“Contrary to the various amounts being circulated on the social media, the sum of thirty-three thousand naira had been approved as the new rate,” Ibrahim said.

He said provision had been made for the new allowance in the year 2020 Budget, adding that payment would commence as soon as funds are released by the appropriate authorities.

In September, Ibrahim had hinted that the monthly allowance of corps members would be increased “immediately the federal government starts the payment of the new minimum wage”.

“Your monthly allowance would be increased immediately the Federal Government starts the payment of the new minimum wage to all public servants nationwide,” he said in an address delivered at the NYSC orientation camp in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos.

Sunday Dare, the minister of youth and sports development, also confirmed the increase although he did not provide details.

Nigeria-born multiple awards winning literary giant Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on Saturday posted a video on her Facebook page where she interviewed a fellow indigene of her hometown; Abba, Njikoka in Anambra State whose husband was arrested December, 2019, thereby raising another alarm over alleged continued harassment and intimidation of her kinsmen by some well connected Ukpo men.

[b]In the video, Chimamanda could be seen interviewing a woman who lamented the situation of things in Abba community.

“We came to see you to know exactly what happened. This has been very upsetting to all of us…all we are fighting for is truth and justice,” Chimamanda said to her.

According to the woman who identified herself as Mrs. Umeano, the arrest of her husband, David Umeano and four others, Ichie Obinna Chukwuma, Samuel Okafor, Sylvester Nwafor and Maduka Okoli took place on the 18th of December, 2019 at Umudioka Customary Court after a court hearing on the Ukpo-Abba land dispute.

As could be seen on the video, Chimamanda revealed the details of the arrest of the Abba as narrated by Mrs. Umeano from what her husband told her.

“After the court hearing, at the gate of the court house, they saw SARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad) men accompanied by Ukpo indigenes standing and waiting for them. So, they ran back into the court house. Some of those who had driven out of the gate, left their cars and ran into the bush while the rest ran back into the court house” Mrs. Umeano said.

“The SARS men chased them into the court house and dragged them out. They ran into the bushes to drag and arrest those who ran into the bush. They arrested five of the men.

“It was also confirmed that the people who helped drag these men were Ukpo indigenes” she added.

Continuing, she said, “There was a magistrate right there in the court and he said there was nothing he could do. The same thing happened in Abuja and nobody did anything so what can I possibly do?” she added.

It was also deduced that the annual town meeting which was usually held in December did not hold as the arrested men are among the community leaders and others were frightened of being arrested as well.

Daily Times could recall that on the 20th of September 2019, an article written by Adichie titled ‘My Hometown Under Siege’ was published in a national daily (not Daily Times), where she narrated the genesis of the dispute which began when Ukpo sued for rights to the disputed land in 1985.

She stated that the hearing was ruled in favour of Ukpo community but the record of the proceedings in the case was said to have disappeared mysteriously thus denying Abba an appeal to the Supreme Court which, in turn, referred the community back to its state court.

According to her, the dispute is still on-going followed by alleged unlawful backlashes, including the removal of Abba’s welcome signboard.

“It happened because the Nigerian police accompanied people at night to commit this illegal act. Witnesses saw them: the police vans, their flashing lights, their guns. And it happened because a Nigerian billionaire, Prince Arthur Eze, is financing a campaign of intimidation in order to win a land dispute”. Adichie had alleged in the September 2019 article.

“As a child I was often skeptical of historical stories in which the homeland of the storyteller was always in the right. And so my natural skepticism made me ask why Prince Arthur Eze would engage in this violent campaign of intimidation, and whether perhaps he was being unfairly maligned. Where was the evidence? How could we be sure that Prince Arthur Eze was indeed responsible?” Adichie questioned in her article.

“Arthur Eze wants to build a university named after him, and Ukpo doesn’t have any land big enough and so he wants to take our land,” her story alleged, quoting a “young man.”

“Today Abba people live in fear. Rumours swirl every day. Somebody says there is a list of Abba people to be arrested. Another says the police are coming from Abuja to arrest the town union members. Another says the community school, partly located on the disputed land, will be completely demolished. Some fearful parents keep their children home from school. When a big car with tinted windows drives through Abba, the people worry. Some men skulk away. Who will be arrested today? Who will be harassed? Who will sleep in a cell tonight?” Adichie wrote in that September 2019 article.
[/b]
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is recognized locally and internationally as an advocate of justice and equality. She was recently honored on the 11th of January 2020 with the first ever Belle van Zuylen Ring – an honorary prize awarded by the International Literature Festival Utrecht (ILFU), Netherlands – for “her contribution to humanity through her literary works and her public engagements which have played huge roles in effecting change and a better understanding of issues such as identity and feminism.”[/b]

While delivering the Class Day speech at Yale University in 2019, the writer admitted that she happens “to have a mild case of a messiah complex and I want to change a small slice of the world..

In 2018, she received the Global Hope Coalition Thought Leadership Award for being an “Everyday Hero”, shaping global conversations concerning feminism, race, and North/South relations.

On September 2019, the ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ author was named by the Duchess of Sussex, Megan Markle as one of British Vogue’s “Force of Change” and during a video interview, when asked what change she’d make in the world if she could, she said “I would wave a magic wand and let the world be a place of real justice”

The award is a honorary prize set by the ILFU International Literature Festival Utrecht and Chimamanda, a native of ABBA in Anambra State, is receiving the prize because of the unique way in which she questions the world today and its ingrained thinking patterns.

Seun, is this fair? Why is such caveats not in christian threads?

We really need fire education in this country. A lot of fire incidences are very much avoidable

WiLdFLame:
You are not a cerebral man
This judgment is not about the CJN person personality. This is purely smart and brilliant work the legal team of APC did to beat off PDP Ihedioha. This same cross petition was used by the Supreme Court to jettison Buhari team argument That Atiku was not a true Nigeria. This same loop which Your PDP legal team couldn’t cover cost them IMO state. The Supreme Court is great. PDP legal team is just not Brilliant as the APC legal team. Period!!!

Hope Should go and pay homage to Tinubu the master Planner with the greatest legal team in Nigeria

Agreeded 100%
