It might be slow. But we will surely get there

The only business IMO is known for is hotels. No industries.
Hence the power might just be wasting away.

The state government should do more in industrialization

Kobojunkie:
Instead, Christianity is a religion that is not at all balanced. With over 47,000 denominations and counting, not a single one of them aligned with the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ contained in the Gospels, one need not wonder why it seems every other season/day a new solution is proffered by the same very same people whose previous solution already failed so many before.

The Christian way is always everything but Jesus Christ!

In a bold display of unity and determination, Nigerian youths from the North Central region, operating under the banner of The North Central Progressive Voice, converged in Lafia, the capital of Nassarawa State, to voice their grievances against what they perceive as an abuse of the rule of law by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The group, which includes both youths and women representing various communities across the North Central states, called for immediate intervention from President Bola Tinubu concerning the recent actions of the EFCC towards former Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, and other individuals.

During a world press conference held on Tuesday, the 30th of April, 2024, at the Nassarawa State capital, the group's spokesperson, Bar. Blessing, passionately addressed the media, denouncing the EFCC's raid on Alhaji Yahaya Bello's residence in Abuja. Urging President Tinubu to rein in the EFCC, Bar. Blessing emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and preventing any potential national embarrassment stemming from the ongoing saga.

Delta State High Court in Effurun has awarded N30 million damages against popular Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji, for a libellous publication against the Neo-Black Movement (NBM) of Africa.

The lawsuit had Registered Trustees of NBM of Africa, Ese Kakor, Felix Kupa and Mayor Onyebueke as the Claimants against Linda Ikeji as Defendant.

In a ruling on Monday, in Suit No: EHC/210/2021, Presiding Justice Roli Daibo-Harriman, also ordered the absent Defendant, to pay N300,000 as being the cost of litigation.

The Defendant was further ordered to place a publication on her blog and national dailies retracting the libellous publication for which the NBM dragged her to the court, just as she is restrained from further damaging publications against the Claimants.

The NBM of Africa took to court action after she failed to honour a letter by the Claimant demanding retraction and apology over the libellous article published on her blog on Oct. 19, 2021.

The blogger in her publication of 19 October 2021 allegedly labelled the NBM of Africa as a dreaded cult group, , and criminal organisation among other names.

The Claimants approached the court, praying for N1bn damages and an unreserved apology to be published on her blog and two national dailies among others.

Justice Daibo-Harriman, in her ruling, described the tags, including dreaded cultist group, and criminal organisation as used in the Defendant’s publication as all defamatory.

Counsel to the Claimants, Kelvin Agbroko, noted that the ruling, “Will serve as a lesson to bloggers that it is not every item you publish. It is good to verify information before making a publication.

He said, “NBM of Africa is a legal organisation duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission. The publication made by the Defendant against my client has been cleared that it was a damaging publication.

“NBM is good to go, we are going to take all necessary steps to enforce the terms of the judgment against her. It was an erudite judgement that is all-encompassing and will be difficult to fault.”

President of the NBM of Africa, Ese Kakor said the outcome of the case had been on for about two years.

He said, “What Ikeji did was just to sell in a bid to defame the character of NBM of Africa. It is very wrong.

“I advised other bloggers not to follow the same steps as they may also face similar litigation. Do not try and defame peoples’ character. NBM has nothing to do with cultism, . It is not a criminal organisation but a well-registered organisation.”

Governor Godwin Obaseki has justified why he increased minimum wage from tlN40,000 to N70, 000 in Edo State.

Obaseki spoke in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday.


Recall that prior to the announcement of the N70,000, Obaseki paid N40,000 paid as against the N30,000 national minimum wage.


The governor said with the depreciating value of the country’s currency – the naira – and the rising cost of living, it made sense to introduce a new minimum wage for state workers.

“Let us understand this new minimum wage calculation. In 2011, when the minimum wage was N18,000, the exchange rate was N160/$ and so effectively workers in Edo State were taking home about $120 as minimum wage.

“When we increased the minimum wage to N40,000 in 2022, the exchange rate at that time was N450/$ so effectively, workers were getting about $96.”

“Today, 2024, with the N70,000 minimum wage at the current exchange rate of N1,257/$, what they are taking home is $55 which is less than 50 per cent of what they were earning about a year ago.

“For us in Edo State, we believe that the issue is about productivity; paying people well so that they can produce more and not pretending that you are paying them some salary when you know that that salary cannot motivate them to produce the goods and services that you require.”

Obaseki said his government had to introduce the new minimum wage for workers in Edo State to reflect the current economic realities of the country.

He said, “We are taking measures as a state to mitigate the situation that we found ourselves in today.”


He said with the digitisation of work in the state, government has been able to save money which will be channeled to other areas including the payment of wages.

“So, we don’t spend [so much] money on stationery and all those costs used to run the government,” he said.

The governor added that the state has also reduced the cost of energy by looking at alternative sources.

“Those savings, I use them to pay salaries,” he said.

Edo State youth advocate and PDP chieftain, Andrew Enantomhen on Friday, April 26, 2024 called on all parties in the Edo State to focus on their campaigns on issues that will impact on the good of Edo State.

He made this call as INEC officially declared open the campaign for Edo State forthcoming Governorship election slated for September this year.

"As we all know, the only candidate in this forthcoming election is Asue Ighodalo of PDP. We don't know if the others are still in this race or not. Everywhere across Edo State, from the grassroots to the city centre, is 'Asue Ighodalo'.

"So we are very confident that Asue Ighodalo will emerge victorious in September," Andrew Enantomhen said.

"When it comes to what to expect in this campaign from Asue Ighodalo, expect nothing less than a campaign that is strictly issue-based. Expect nothing less than a campaign that will be focused strictly not on personality jabs but on the critical issues that can impact on the welfare of the citizens of Edo State.

"I also expect decency. PDP is a party of decent people. I urge the other parties and their candidates to let their campaigns be less on personal jabs and more issue-based. Edo State is at the cross-roads, there is a need to consolidate on the gains of Governor Godwin Obaseki. We can't afford to go back to where we were, we must move Edo State forward and Asue Ighodalo is the man to get the job done," Andrew Enantomhen further said.
