Where can this be gotten?

Check out the link below, for center near you.

Simple advise, if you are planning to write JAMB next year just don't wait till when the form is out. Get your NIN now.
Also, if any of our relatives, friends, neighbours, religion sisters/brothers, etc are to write JAMB next year, let us just encourage them to go out and register now.

The thread topic is misleading even the DAAR released statement is mischievous. From the statement, it is a fact that,

1. DAAR communication issued the said award to Buhari
2. the issued date was January 2019
3. the award was for activities of Buhari as at 2018.

The only thing I do not understand is why Bashir is posting the award as if it was recent and why DAAR communication is being tactical in accepting that their recent (last) award for African President for the Year (2018) was awarded to Buhari. But looking through politics lens, both action must have the same reasons not yet to know to most of us.

The reason for the inadequacy was not strictly on the FG but on the state. I think FG sense some sort of corruption at the first enrollment.

On why the programme did not cover all the schools, Onah explained, “There were technical challenges from the headquarters coupled with the submission of irreconcilable data on the cooks who were recruited at the inception.”

According to him, because of the irreconcilable data, some of the cooks were removed from the programme.

He said that since 2017, programme managers in Abuja refused to employ more cooks and as a result, many schools were not taking part in the programme.

Onah stated, “When we recruited (the cooks), we asked those selected to provide their personal data, but regrettably after the banks had opened accounts for them and their names were forwarded to Abuja, during inter-bank settlement system verification, it was discovered that some names and bank verification numbers did not correspond. Even some pictures didn’t correspond with what they had in the BVNs and some of the cooks were dropped in the first set of payment.”

....
On the reduction in the number of pupils, Onah said, “Officers from headquarters told us that they were going to deploy people from the National Bureau of Statistics in some states to confirm data submitted and conduct a headcount of pupils.

I am planing to start learning truck driving next year, but
I'm confused about one thing whether driving also belongs
To hand work(entrepreneur).
Also, i don't know if anyone has experience on this my plan
Should please drop some ideas on some challenges and
Advantages that i might faced.
I finished my ND program in 2016, and i need money to
Learn further and also i want to have an hand work.....
Thank you

Truck driving is a profession and not hand work.

If you drive your own truck, you're self employed.

If you drive another person/company's Truck, you are an employee except the owner gives you the truck for you to be giving him daily or weekly "deliver". You are self independent but I rarely see this type of arrangement for Truck.

If you have two or more trucks and you give them out for people to be using it to make money for you. Then you will become employer of labour and Entrepreneur.

Though I did not have much knowledge about this line of profession and business, I have little things to write on. Currently, Truck business is very good and very risky. With careful drivers and good maintenance culture the risk is minimum. The main risk is involving in accidents that can make one loose his/her investment and be out of business. As a Truck driver, you are prone to be away from your family, spending most of your time on the road even during the night hours.

With your education, you may run look towards Truck consultancy services. Where you can connect to local truck owners and individuals/small company who needs their services. You will served as intermediary and be getting commission, most especially in the line of building and construction. My fear is that if the government after Buhari consolidate on his train investment, this line of business may become less attractive. But the consultancy will not be affected that much because the focus are local people and businesses.

I wish you the best.

In as much as I love her outspoken and fearlessness, I do not fancy her bringing it to public space, thats not a quality of a good home maker and immature. Other first families including Johnathan's must have had serious issues (mama Peace had a controlling attitude) but they managed to keep it away from public space, so what we saw was a united family (even though their may be internal problems) and that mature.

From her last public statement, her problem is clearly stated, she was not allow to accumulate sufficient power and authority over political decisions of the nation and administrative decisions of the Villa like her those before her. Duara and other spokemen never want her run the Office of First Lady in line with her husband stand but she is strongly against this move. Check her statement below.

"Garba Shehu who claimed that the government will not allow office of the First Lady to run.... He didn't realize the fact that First Lady's office is a tradition which has become an institution."

Until her last outburst, I have been a sort of liking her statement though with some sort of reservations. But her last statement is totally wrong and shows that her struggle for power is clouding her judgment of her husband's aides. She forget that she has only 3 years more to spend in the Villa as a wife of the President and has decades of years to spend with her husband family.

Buhari just score another point here as he stay true to his word that there will be nothing like Office of the First Lady and that his wife should be referred to the as Wife of the President.

Thanks for the response. I have never sat for taxation before. I was meant to write 6 papers in May 2019 but I chose to write 3(PM, MGE, FR) out of them. I could not write November diet as I was occupied with something else. Now, I want to continue (PSAF, TAX ,AUDIT ) but Tax has been moved to foundation and that is the only course I am seeing only my page whereas, their circular stated that we can combine Tax with the remaining Skills Courses

Just wait till the advert is out and contact them through the email or phone numbers on the advert. You may still be consider.

niquoi:
Good morning. Please, I need you to put me through on how you egistered for taxation and other skills courses at the same time. I am writing March diet and I have audit and psaf to write in skills as well. Whereas, I am seeing only taxation on my stat us. Thank you so much.

I assumed, you intend to write May diet.

First, I didn't register to write ICAN examinations. On combination of subjects in two levels according to the latest syllabus, it based on either exemption based on other Accounting Professional qualifications like ACCA, or conversion of ICAN PE students under the old syllabus to the new syllabus.

The speciality of Taxation for ICAN PE students is peculiar to those who registered, sat for and failed Taxation in the old syllabus. So, the question are:

Have you ever sat for Taxation examination?
When last did you sat for and failed Taxation?

If you fail Taxation in November 2019 Diet, this arrangement is not met for you. And, I think, if you failed the subject before November 2019 diet and you did not sit for it in the last diet, you may not be opportune to combine Taxation with Skills subject.

My advise is that you should wait for May 2019 advert and write/call them through provided contacts in their advert.

niquoi:
Thank you so much. I appreciate

Hi, what's up.

Why going through unnecessary checking that you may not be giving opportunity to do as most smartphone packs come with seal. Until you pay, they will tell you that they cannot break the seal.

Save yourself the stress by buying in a reputable shops, collect your receipts and make sure the IMEI number is correctly written on the receipt. Better still pay through POS or bank (mobile) transfer and make the description looks like "Purchase of Bleep phone".

joyandfaith:
I am talking about presidential directive. are they not federal workers? are they not civil servants? is it not fg that determine their salaries through nswic? even head of ippis states that those revenue generating agencies may be added later. read the initial post again. those agencies are so corrupt that they want to sanitize their systems before enrolling in ippis.nobody has two heads. as long as you are civil servants, ippis is a must . I stand with ASUU on this.

If IPPIS is a MUST, why shouldn't ASUU, an association of academic Scholars, lead by example?

Jesuspikin8:
You don't need no fuuucking research to know that the major shareholder of a company - the FG - can dictate how its workers get paid. If they want to.

0monnak0da:
That quote is from the Quran or the Ten Commandments?

Please stop talking ignorantly

This is not an issue of textbooks but LAW
What is written in our law?

According to your logic these entities decide how much their expenses are and then remit what is left
That is not what the law says. Every situation is different and depends on LAW not armchair rationalization
Let us take the CBN for example clearly you are ignorant

The CBN has to have its budget passed by the National Assembly.

It does not remit NET INCOME as you ignorantly claim. How much did the CBN remit last year or the year before
The CBN does not work with the same model as the NNPC or FIRS

Let us also consider the FRSC which is a revenue generator. It does not work to the same model as the NNPC
NPA or the Customs or Immigration ALL of which generate money
They all have specific legislation.
This is true for NEPA and Nigeria Airways when they were alive
The NNPC is VERY different from the Immigration
So this idea of remitting what is left after expenses is Nonsense

The expenses of the Immigration department are captured in the Federal Budget. It has no authority to spend ANY of its revenue
This issue was debated exhaustively during Sanusi's tenure
The CBN, NNPC, JAMB ,Universities etc are all established by specific individual legislation and that is what governs their fiscal behaviour.

bizme:
This is absolutely untrue. Absolutely. What matters is these other institutions are Federal and their staff are Federal government's employees. And who says the Universities are not regulated by the National Assembly?

The fact that they are revenue generating is the very reason they should be brought onto IPPIS...

In any case IPPIS is just another fraudulent machinery to allow some people connected to the powers that be to have fingers inside workers' money.

Okay.

Bennycollins:
So where is Ambode today? Or the presidential lobbying was just for him to be allowed to remain a member of the Party ?

The lobby will have been successful if he did not attack the person, I mean personality of the state preferred candidate, to the extend that he called him a psychiatric patient that has not been completely healed even revealing a confidential health records, location, etc. As second reasons why not reinstating the LAWMA staff, these staff are made of over 90% of party loyalists. The primary shows clearly that party loyalists are against him overwhelming. The primary was an open direct primary where every member physically line up in front of the poster of their preferred candidate just like option A4.

Jesuspikin8:
What will happen if revenue generating agencies start getting paid from FG's account?

0monnak0da:
Funny
Did you just think that one up NOW to win an argument or is that in any legislation
Is that in the regulation establishing the I-PISS system??

Funny the specious logic people will come up with just to win an argument

Profit making indeed!!
That may be a useful argument but it is not in any law or gazette just YOUR OWN Nairaland logic

joyandfaith:
my friend, buhari directive includes all mdas, no exception. corruption in those revenue generating agencies can cause tsunami if it is exposed.

joyandfaith:
try to read Buhari directive on ippis. it includes all mdas, no exception.

I think the below quote will help a little. You are at liberty to get any Business Management textbooks or research on Government Owned Business Enterprises, except you believe Universities are also Government owned Business Enterprises. Thank you.

TGM2015:
What is IPPIS, it means Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System . CBN, NNPC, etc remit net income to FG, that means, as a profit making organisation, they MUST have deducted ALL expenses including Payroll cost (Salaries and Wages) before remitting excesses. By standard of being a Corporate Business Enterprise, though (fully or partially) owned by government, they MUST pay their employees themselves. Government is just a shareholder and should not be burden with payments of their employees salaries. These organisations are just like Banks, Dangote, Nestle, etc only that instead of having private individuals as their sole/major shareholders, they have the government as a sole/major shareholder.

So in real strict sense of business, they SHOULD NEVER be enroll on any government IPPIS.

Thegoodone13:
I understand you but they are generating revenue is not an excuse not to be enroll in ippis. Thank u

There are also laws establishing universities including university autonomy act. All staff of nnpc , cbn, firs are also civil servants. Buhari directive affects all mda including revenue generating parastatats. ASUU has good points.

The difference is revenue generating agencies and core aim of making profit.

FIRS, NNPC, CBN are revenue generating agencies and we're established for the purpose of making profit. Hence, they are mandated to remmit profit.

Public Universities (ASUU), Army, Navy, Police, Hospitals, etc are public services institutions/agencies established with the sole aim of providing public services. They are expected NOT to make PROFIT, hence they do remit to the government.

Thegoodone13:
are you saying FIRS, NNPC and CBN workers are more Superior or more relevant than ASUU? Not all Agencies and ministry will be generate revenue. For example, are you saying the Nigeria Army are not important or they are not working? All Federal government workers suppose to enroll with IPPIS

The difference is revenue generating agencies and core aim of making profit.

FIRS, NNPC, CBN are revenue generating agencies and we're established for the purpose of making profit. Hence, they are mandated to remmit profit.

Public Universities (ASUU), Army, Navy, Police, Hospitals, etc are public services institutions/agencies established with the sole aim of providing public services. They are expected NOT to make PROFIT, hence they do remit to the government.

MoIbrahim:
Okay, so NNPC, FIRS etc are not employees? Una try o

I trying to tell me that NNPC, CBN, FIRS, etc are employees?
The last I know about them is that they Parastatals establish to make profit. So they are enterprises with all features and characteristics of Corporate Entity. Universities establish by government are not established to make profit, lecturers are part of the employees of the University.

In summary,
ASUU are Part of the employees of a non-profit making government establishment while NNPC, FIRS, CBN, etc are employer of labour and are run as a profit making organisation. If ASUU want what is applicable to these organisations we are mentioned, they should proved their intellectual worth by transforming all universities as a self sufficient institution.

They are civil servants. No exemption

You know both permanent and outsourced staff working in any bank are Bankers and are the same. Same with people working in Microfinance banks and (inter)national banks such as GTB, First Bank, Union Bank, etc.

https://www.nairaland.com/5565036/ippis-why-cbn-nnpc-not#84637044

CBN, FIRS, NNPC and others are Corporate Entity established by law whose activities, including the revenue/income and expenditures, were regulated by act of National Assembly. Moreover, they generate revenue, net their expenses as specified by relevant law, and remmit excesses to the FG. Some of them have their remittance shared by all the three tiers of government.

Under what basis should such organisations be with compared or served as a basis on which ASUU (an association of employee) exclusion be made?

kolafolabi:
ASUU will only comply once CBN and FIRS are enrolled into the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System.

Please what is the relationship between ASUU and CBN, FIRS?

ASUU is an association of employees, while CBN, FIRS and others are Corporate Entity established by law who activities were regulated by act of National Assembly.

helinues:
The sacked lawbreakers are loyal to who?

Oshiomole or Obaseki?

Oshiomole.

That Obaseki guy just they commit many political blunders left and right. He has been tolling the path of no reconciliation, I doubt if the party and the presidency will rise to lobby for him as in the case of Ambode.

Kindly approve to front page, please

Pls forgive my typographical errors.

Have been following nairaland since 2012 but fully registered 2015, I know some of you would have gone through what am going through now and each of your advises would be duly observed.

We are 3 in our family me my dad, and my elder brother who is also a graduate.

it all started wen I lost my mom to cancer 2016. she was a school teacher in one of the government school in abuja.

After her death we started following up her gratuity from Gov, God willing and thank God we were paid.

We decided to invest the money in schooling, which we decided to build a primary school in PH

I'm from Owerri but I have uncles from rivers state so we had the feelings that river state is a better option for the investement.

At least we have relatives there to show a good place to set up the school.

We went to our uncle's house who happens to be a Lawyer and narrated everything to him concerning a good land to Start up a school.

He told us he had a land for sell, we were happy because we felt he can't scam us.

We went through normal procedures concerning the land he wanted selling to Us.

Sorry not to have mentioned, my uncle came from a very respected and rich family so we handled everything with full assurance.

He then told us that 2 barristers (based in PH) are also involved in the land deal. That they own the land.

Since they were barristers, we consented.

So we paid 5million for two plots.

Though, the area wasn't that developed but they where few houses there, so starting up school there might be profitable

We started building fence and other important things that is ought to be done, in fact, all what we spent would sum up to 1.2million.

In the course of building, someone we don't know came and chase us out of the land, Saying the land belongs to him.

During this period, my dad tried to reach out to my uncle and the other 2 barristers to come and explain things to him but they were no where to be found.

He spent 2 weeks in PH without any sign from them nor results.

This is a year and three months we paid for that land and we haven't step into that land and no straight answers had been given to us.

We trusted him.

What annoys me the most is that he now pick our calls only when he feels like and no straight answer would still be given..

We have been avoiding taking the case to court because we fear it would last longer in court.

He told us to take him anywhere we like, that he will defend himself.

We don't need the land again, we want our money back cause what we have experienced so far is not what we bargained for.

I'm thinking of going to Brekete family (Human Right Radio) in Abuja to seek for solution

Note: My uncle is now based in Abuja but those two lawyers are based in PH.

Please my fellow nairalanders your advise are needed and any comment given would be very much appreciated, cause this totally look like we have been scammed.

Pls front page

1. How did you pay the money to him? Through bank transfer or cash?
2. If through transfer, did you transfer to account with his name as account holder?

If number can 2 answer is Yes, take his case to EFCC and NBA (if actually he is a registered lawyer) with evidence of payment. If you cannot get the teller, you may go to your bank for certified statement of account showing the transfer transaction.

Second part is, did he give you people document to the land? If Yes, was his seal on the document? If yes, check the number and name on the seal and petition the NBA.

You can click the link below for how to report a lawyer.

Though no one is guilty until proven guilty but the way SE of Nigeria shows PUBLIC supports for people with corruption and criminal cases hanging on them is too alarming.

In situation like this, support should be diplomatic and tactical, just like FG and APC is supporting Kalu and Akpabio in their court cases.

Not a threat as far as majority of PDP members makes him their governor.

SURELAND:
This is the salaries of south west Obas before independence

Thank you for sharing this information. Please can we have the book title and the author, if possible, upload the front cover of the book.

Taking a closer look at the salaries order, I came to conclusion that the:

1. list was first arranged in order of the King's class (first or second class) and then from highest to lowest paid in each category ; and

2. amount paid was not necessarily by seniority but possibly by the population of people each of the Obas were ruling over as at the time. The explain why Olubadan, a second class King will be earning above 4 out of 5 first class Kings.

But I was wondering why Ọba of Lagos was excluded from the list.
