With the release of Taraba and Borno, I think Buhari's total tally in this election will most likely cross the 14 MILLION votes line He will certainly claim victory in Zamfara, Kebbi,Sokoto, while cornering some votes in bayelsa, Delta and Rivers. It is no longer will he win? But we are now clearly looking at by what margin will the victory be samebony1: |

FarahAideed: Read my post properly. I did not say he will lead Atiku by 13 million votes, but said he will win by securing over 13 million votes. Right now Buhari is leading Atiku with 3,923,870 but this figure will certainly go up once the remaining states mentioned above are declared 1 Like |

Going by results so far officially and unofficially declared, the APC Candidate and current President Muhammadu Buhari is likely to clinch victory with more than 13 million votes. So far only Bayelsa, Borno, Delta, Kebbi, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba and Zamfara have not been known. But one can easily guess which camp each of these states will swing. For instance, Borno, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara are clearly pro Buhari, while Bayelsa, Delta nad Rivers are for Atiku. taraba is a 50-50 for either of them Parties APC PDP Abia 85,058 219,698 Adamawa 378,072 410,266 Akwa Ibom 175,429 379,831 Anambra 31,452 487,550 Bauchi 798,428 209,313 Bayelsa - - Benue 347,668 355,355 Borno - 836,496 71,788 Cross River 117,303 295,737 Delta - - Ebonyi 90,726 258,573 Edo 267,842 275,691 Ekiti 219,231 154,032 Enugu 54,423 355,553 FCT 152,224 259,997 Gombe 402,961 138,484 Imo 140,463 334,923 Jigawa 794,738 289,895 Kaduna 993,482 613,318 Kano 1,464,768 391,573 Katsina 1,232,133 308,056 Kebbi - - Kogi 285,894 218,207 Kwara 308,984 138,184 Lagos 580,814 448,016 Nasarawa 289,903 283,847 Niger 612,371 218,052 Ogun 281,762 194,655 Ondo 241,769 275,901 Osun 347,634 337,377 Oyo 365,230 366,720 Plateau 468,555 548,665 Rivers - - Sokoto - - Taraba - 324906 374,743 Yobe 497,914 50,763 Zamfara - - Total 13,188,633 9,264,763 1 Like |

| Politics / Buhari Administration Approves Reduction In Cost Of JAMB, NECO Forms by samebony1: 5:03pm On Nov 28, 2018 |
From Premium News online comes a report that the Federal Government of Nigeria has approved a reduction in the cost of forms for final year secondary school and post-secondary school examinations. This reduction, first announced by President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide on new media, Bashir Ahmad, was decided at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday. Vice President Yemi Osinbajo presided over the meeting in the absence of Mr Buhari who travelled on official assignment to Borno State. The cost of Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) forms was reduced from N5,000 to N3,500 while the cost of National Examination Council (NECO) forms was reduced from N11,350 to N9,850. The cost of Basic Education Certificate, also handled by NECO, was also reduced from N5,500 to N4,000. The reduction takes effect from January 2019. JAMB has been making hundreds of millions of naira profit since its new leadership headed by Ishaq Oloyede assumed office; leading many Nigerians to demand a reduction in the cost of forms. The House of Representatives had in May urged the Federal Ministry of Education to slash the cost of JAMB application forms. The call had followed JAMB’s announcement that it remitted N7.8 billion to the federal government as proceeds from sale of Unified Tertiary Examinations (UTME) application forms in 2017. The lawmakers had accused JAMB of becoming a “revenue generating agency.” On Wednesday, the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, who briefed journalists at the end of the three hours FEC meeting, said he presented a memo to call for the reduction in fees. He said the reduction followed the pleas from parents. According to him, since the Buhari administration put in place a prudent management in JAMB, corruption in the agency gas been eradicated. “So, in answer to yearnings my parents, Mr. President directed that we should look into the possibility of reducing the charges,” he said. “So accordingly, from January 2019, JAMB fees will be from N5,000 to N3,500 for the UTME, Senior Secondary Certificate charged by National Examination Council (NECO) from 11,350 to N9,850 and Basic Education Certificate handled by NECO is reduced from N5,500 to N4,000,” he said. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/297974-breaking-buhari-approves-reduction-in-cost-of-jamb-neco-forms.html |

| Politics / Re: US: Nigeria Has Imported 3million MT Of Rice In 2018 by samebony1: 4:05pm On Nov 07, 2018 |
Nbote:The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says the volume of rice imported into the country has declined drastically in 2018, according to figures from official sources. NAN reports that Isaac Okorafor, director, corporate communications at CBN, made this known in a statement on Tuesday. Okorafor said by September, Nigeria had imported 5,161 metric tonnes of rice from Thailand and 426 metric tonnes of rice from India as of July — amounting to less than 6,000 metric tonnes in 2018. The CBN spokesman said this is against the 400,000 metric tonnes being bandied around due to “expected demand by politicians for election campaigns”. He attributed the reduced imports to “concerted efforts” by the ministry of agriculture and rural development and the interventions of the CBN. Okorafor said the ministry and the CBN had been collaborating to reduce the volume of rice importation through the “rice revolution”. He explained that the apex bank had not allocated any foreign exchange for the importation of rice in 2018, adding that the imports from Thailand and India were done on “not-valid-for-forex basis”. “The figures being bandied in certain quarters were based on unrealistic assumptions such as satellite mapping of farms, expected demand by politicians for election campaigns and expected losses from flooding,” the statement quoted Okorafor as saying. “All of these led to unauthentic conclusions that the country had imported or could import 400,000 more metric tonnes.” https://www.thecable.ng/cbn-rice-importation-reduced-in-2018 |

If Tinubu is supporting Buhari cos Tinubu wants to be president in 2023, at least he is not deceiving himself or defecting to another party now, unlike you. He, Tinubu has been able to manage his ambition unlike your group of defectors. “There is nothing wrong with ambition. Without a degree of ambition, we would never strive to improve and develop ourselves. But ambition, restrained by nothing but itself, is a dangerous commodity. Unwedded to social conscience, it leads to ruthlessness; it is the father of the deception that leaders are meant to lord over instead of to serve the populace.” - Bola Tinubu |

| Politics / Root Cause Of Apapa Traffic Grid Lock by samebony1: 2:05pm On Jul 24, 2018 |
The present traffic logjam in the Apapa port area of Lagos state should not be blamed only on poor state of the road network within the axis, but also can be traced to the concession of the port by the Federal government. The concession of the Lagos Ports complex (Apapa & Tin Can Island) that commenced in 2003, not only granted private port operators between 20-25 years lease to operate the terminals but also opened the gates for industrialists to build their manufacturing plants in the port complex. The Federal Governments rationale for embarking on the concession of the ports then, was to solve some problems of mismanagement, inefficiency, corruption and a huge debt burden of over $34 million hanging on the neck of the NPA, coupled with high staff redundancy. By granting Lease hold to manufacturers to site their factories in the port complex, the government inadvertently allocated the expanse of land meant for stacking containers and as Truck Park to the industrialists. These factories could have been built anywhere else in the many industrial estates in the country. Laudable as this objective may be, the side effect that the move has produced has shown that the move was not well thought out. Though the Olusegun Obasanjo led Federal Government made billions from the 20 concessionaires that were fortunate enough to cross the final hurdle out of the 94 that were pre-qualified, but nothing was reinvested to create alternative space as container terminal Container laden trucks, due to lack of adequate space in the ports now litter the major roads in the state causing serious traffic congestion and environmental pollution. One must also not forget the loss in man hour spent holed up in the traffic and the health issues that may develop.

| Politics / FG Awards N206 Billion Contract For 2nd Niger Bridge Link Road by samebony1: 12:19pm On Jul 05, 2018 |
The federal government has approved a contract for the construction of link roads to the new second Niger Bridge linking Anambra and Delta states at a cost of N206 billion. The approval was given Wednesday by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) at its meeting chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari. This was announced by Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, on behalf of the Minister of Power, Works and Housing Babatunde Fashola. Mr Mohammed said: “Today FEC has approved the award of the link road; the bridge itself is just 1.95 kilometres, but the link road is 11.9km and this contract was awarded to Julius Berger for the sum of N206billion”. He said the contract will include not just the link road but also associated infrastructure, adding “and you know this bridge is linking Anambra and Delta states”. The Information Minister said the project was conceived by the Goodluck Jonathan administration under a Public, Private Partnership (PPP), arrangement which, he said, failed and that is why the federal government had to take over the contract. “So far about N14bn had been paid to contractors handling the bridge and the contract today that was awarded is for the link and associated infrastructure that will link the bridge,” he said. Mr Mohammad also announced that FEC approved another memo from Mr Fashola regarding a contract for the rearward of the the rehabilitation of Oji- Achi- Mmaku- Awgu- Ndeabor Road in Enugu State. “The contract was approved today at the sum of N11.558,6976(11bn), it was awarded to Messrs Setraco Nigeria limited,” he said. He also said the completion period for the contract is 24 months. He said the contract was awarded earlier to a company that failed and Setraco that was given other sections of the road performed well and had now been awarded the contract while that of the other contractor has been rescinded. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-east/274995-second-niger-bridge-link-roads-get-n206-billion.html |
