Sports / More Light On The New Solar Powered Football Stadium by XavierBlue(m): 9:53pm On Dec 11, 2015 |
After seeing the latest news regarding the solar powered field in Lagos, I decided googling to decipher it use and significance. And for those who asked for it use. I don't know if they are making references to the field, light or stadium. But Here is what Wikipedia has to say. Energy Efficient Stadiums is the latest trend of environmentalism in sports . Many stadiums are beginning to take measures to become more environmentally friendly and energy efficient , such as using solar energy to power the stadiums and using reusable raw materials. The first stadium successfully built to use 100 percent solar power is the Kaohsiung National Stadium in Kaohsiung, Taiwan . It earned the nickname of the 'dragon' stadium. Completed in 2009, the 55,000 capacity stadium was built for the World Games , which took place in July 2009. After the conclusion of the World Games, the stadium will be used mainly for rugby games and other athletic events. Japanese architect Toyo Ito designed the stadium which incorporates 8,844 solar panels on the roof. These solar panels provide enough energy to power the 3,300 lights and two giant television screens. The stadium provides so much power, and not all of it is needed to power the stadium. The Taiwanese government plans to sell the excess energy. The stadium will prevent 660 tons of carbon dioxide from being released. Not only is the Kaohsiung National Stadium 100 percent solar powered, but all of the raw materials used in the stadium are reusable. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Powered_StadiumsThis means that the facility in Lagos will provide for it daily and annually resources, and if built to the capacity in Taiwan, the excess energy-ectricity, obtained might be given out to the neighboring area. lalasticlala |
Politics / Govt Investigating Dokpesi For Another N8b Fraud Allegation- The Nation by XavierBlue(m): 10:06am On Dec 11, 2015 |
The Federal Government is investigating businessman Raymond Dokpesi for his alleged involvement in another fraud involving about N8billion, the government’s lawyer, Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), yesterday told a Federal High Court in Abuja. Jacobs said the Federal Government was about rounding off investigations into a fresh allegation of N8.4billion the AIT/ Raypower emeritus chairman collected from the Goodluck Jonathan administration for airing the FIFA U17 championship which Nigeria hosted in January 27,2012. He said though the airing right was granted his company, DAAR Communication, by FIFA and without the Federal Government as a party to the contract, Dokpesi allegedly collected N8b from the government for the execution of the contract. Jacobs was arguing the government’s counter-affidavit against Dokpesi’s bail application. Dokpesi was arraigned with his company, Daar Investment and Holding Company Limited, on Wednesday on a six-count charge. He was accused of unlawfully receiving N2.1billion from former National Security Adviser (NSA), Mohammed Sambo Dasuki. He pleaded not guilty and applied for bail. Parties argued the bail application and the prosecution’s counter affidavit yesterday. Jacobs, urging the court to reject Dokpesi’s application, argued that a bail to Dokpesi will prejudice investigation into the N8b allegation. He urged the court to take a judicial look at the government’s affidavit evidence, which indicated that no contract paper was exchanged by Dokpesi and any agent of the government when the N2.1b was paid to him. Jacobs faulted Dokpesi’s claim of ill-health, noting that not only did he fail to disclose the nature of his illness, the letter of appointment with the physicians exhibited by Dokpesi was sent on December 5 when Dokpesi was already in the custody of the EFCC. Jacobs, who is the lead prosecution lawyer in Dokpesi’s trial, said it would be dangerous to admit Dokpesi to bail because, going by the charges, he risked a jail term of seven years upon conviction and, as such, may decide to flee the country if allowed to go on bail. Earlier, while arguing the bail application, Dokpesi’s lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), stated that the offences for which his client was standing trial were bailable because they are not capital offences. He said Dokpesi had not in any way contributed to any act of insurgency and that he would not jump bail when granted. Ozekhome also told the court that his client was billed to travel abroad for a medical check-up when he got a telephone call inviting him orally to the EFCC and that without any hesitation, Dokpesi honoured the invitation as a law abiding citizen. He also told the court that Dokpesi’s son’s wedding had been fixed for 17 and 19 of this month, he has invited prominent Nigerians and, as such, he would be around at all times to stand trial. Ozekhome also submitted that Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution presumes his client innocent until the contrary has been proved by the prosecution. Justice Gabriel Kolawole, after listening to both lawyers, said he needed time to consider their arguments and processes filed. He adjourned till December 14 for ruling and ordered that Dokpesi be remanded in the custody of the EFCC.

5. Olusegun Obasanjo GCFR. Obasanjo can be said to be unknown to nobody, the former president who ruled Nigeria for 8years is sure still influential in the country most especially among the Nigerian governing bodies. The ex president who has a lot of connection and relationship with almost any governing body all over Nigeria and probably beyond, is very well a powerful personality. He's been said to have participated in President Goodluck's defeat in the 2015 elections and also contributed to president Buhari's victory with his political influence. As of 2015, its been revealed Obasanjo has a deep relationship with the incubent president Buhari as they've together many times sort out issues privately and publicly.
4. Bola tinubu. Many in Nigeria now know who Bola Ahmed Tinubu aka Jagaban is, And we also should know the control of power in a country revolves around politics, Tinubu is a former senator and a former Governor . His influence extends across all states and in Nigeria. Tinubu is sure and well close to the president and one of the major people behind the president's victory in the 2015 elections.

3. V.P Yemi Osinbajo. Oluyemi Oluleke Osinbajo is the Vice President of Nigeria, in office since May 29, 2015. He is also a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Professor of Law and until his inauguration as Vice President. We all know the Vice President is the next in post to the president which makes him a pretty high profile and powerful personality too. But following the case of Nigeria we believe there are still some people
2. Senator Bukola Saraki. Bukola Saraki as most of us know is the present senate president of Nigeria, the senator who got elected into power few months ago is the second most powerful person in Nigeria for this year. The senator whose emergence as the president in the house of senate was like magic to many of us is indeed powerful and in a powerful post. As The senate president he has power over a lot things most especially the Senate.
1. President Mohammed buhari. Well, as many would expect him to be at the no.1 spot, Buhari is the President of the federal republic of Nigeria, he has the ultimate power over anything and everything in the country. Even though the presidential power still has its limits according to the order of law, still his power is really high as he could even change the law with his influence as the president. Buhari as the president of Nigeria has the power to do many special things like grant immunity to a convict and more. He is sure the most powerful man in the country.

Politics / Uproar As Governor Bans Prayers In Schools by XavierBlue(m): 11:49am On Oct 30, 2015 |
Cross River state governor, Ben Ayade has ordered that no public or private primary and secondary school in the state should hold morning or afternoon prayers.
Cross River state governor, Ben Ayade Governor Ayade in a letter signed by Mrs Anne O. Odey, the permanent secretary, state Ministry of Education, dated Wednesday, October 21, said the suspension of prayers will subsist till further notice, Daily Trust reports. The governor also ordered that all teachers with effect from next year must be in suits during official hours.
The directive which was sent to all zonal heads in the state said: “The ministry hereby directs all public and private primary and secondary schools across the state to suspend all assemblies (morning and afternoon) till further notice.”
All school heads were directed to comply strictly or risk sanctions. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in reaction to the new development, signed by Archbishop J. E. Ukpo, the state chairman and Apostle Iwara Oleh Obeten, the state secretary said such directive was completely unacceptable.
The christian group said the order would negatively affect the upbringing of children and urged the state government to immediately withdraw the directive.
Meanwhile the Cross River state governor has praised President Muhammadu Buhari describing him as a “humble president”. The politician stated this when he spoke with the state house journalists after his meeting with the country leader in Aso Rock. Ayade spoke about his negative attitude towards privatization calling it an “unacceptable” exercise. https://www.naij.com/622516-uproar-governor-bans-prayers-schools.htmlLalasticlala |
Politics / APC Up To Mischief- Dickson by XavierBlue(m): 7:24am On Oct 29, 2015 |
THE Bayelsa State Government has denied claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that it was planning to raise fresh loan, which it said was meant to prosecute the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
Bayelsa State governorA statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said the purported claim of a fresh loan was misplaced and a clear mischief on the part of the opposition party in the state. According to him, rather than looking for a new loan, the Bayelsa State Government was only drawing from an existing loan facility that had since been approved for the airport project it said was at 60 per cent level of completion.
He said it was unfortunate that the Sylva campaignwas raising the issue of loan, saying the APC candidate and his campaign officials should be ashamed of their past in this regard.While praising Governor Dickson over prudent management of resources, which it said had made it possible for the State to witness the huge infrastructure and other development projects in the last three and half years, the statement slammed Sylva for plunging the state into huge debts running into N432 billion, under his watch as governor.
The statement said Sylva’s profligacy as governor ranked Bayelsa State as one of the most indebted states in Nigeria, but now reversed under the Dickson administration, which had since serviced the debt to a manageable level of N90 billion naira and thereby making the state now one of the least indebted states in the country.“Under Sylva, there was routine diversion of funds meant for payment of civil servants’ salaries and benefits.
A whopping N300 billion agric loan from the World Bank had no tangible effect in the state. Where were the projects established or farms set up or the fisheries development as proposed under the loan?“What happened to the N3 billion MDG funds made available to Sylva? It is unfortunate that Sylva left alegacy of a crippling debt profile in Bayelsa State as governor. As a matter of fact, the bond obligation of the state totaled N125 billion under his watch,” he said. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/apc-up-to-mischief-dickson/Lalasticlala |
