Ebonyi State has always been popular for rice production. The reason is that rice farming has kept receiving huge attention from both government and individuals. Through rice farming, a lot of Ebonyians have got something doing to earn their living.

Unarguably, the popularity of Abakaliki Rice has continued to grow, thanks to the recent ban on the importation of rice by the Federal Government as well as the ban on sale of foreign rice by Ebonyi State government. These decisions by both FG and Ebonyi State government have immensely contributed towards making Abakaliki rice a household name in Nigeria. Ebonyi has also done well by rebranding the rice to acceptable standard,which is why Nigerians now prefer it to foreign rice.

We sell bags of rice from Abakaliki Rice Mill at an affordable price and can be delivered to any state in Nigeria.

25kg bag = N5,500
50kg bag = N11,000

Mustapha Lamido and 2019 Jigawa Central Senatorial Contest

By Mustapha Umar

When I first heard that there is a young man in Jigawa State aspiring to become a senator of the federal Republic of Nigeria, I paused for a while to ask if it is just another case of a visionless advocacy for an unprepared youth to  take charge of the mantle of leadership in this our beloved country or a rare case of a youth with a vision and passion for rescuing the long forgotten masses of Jigawa central senatorial district.

The answer to this I believe is, or  should be of great importance to the people of Jigawa Central Senatorial district, because ordinarily it ought to be the basis upon which they should give their mandate. To this effect, I tried to see if I can provide answer to the above question. My desire to answer this question compelled me to raise questions like; who is he? What are his antecedents? What has he achieved so far ? How tall does he stand academically? How much does he know of the real need fo his people? What practical blueprint does he have to turn thei fortunes around, economically, socially, educationally and politically, among others?

Mustapha Sule Lamido (Santuraki)  is the son of one time foreign affairs minister and immediate past Jigawa State governor). So does he need an introduction?

By law, he has like any other politicians met the requisite constitutional demand in terms of age, educationsl qualification and where he comes from among others to be a senator of the federal republic of Nigeria. Until he appeared on the staring block of the race, the young man maintain a very quiet life. He is not the talking type, but, he is compassionate, humble and generous, some rare qualities lacking in our today’s leaders.

Knowledge and education are two basic requisites among others for an effective and successful leadership.  Clarence B. Randall in his book Making Good In Management wrote: “a leader must know, must know that he knows and must be able to make it abundantly clear to those around him that he knows.”  He went further to say, if a leader does not know, he cannot guide his followers. On this, MSL is eminently qualified as he is a graduate of BSc Political Science, with Masters in International Relations (Msc) and Master of Philosophy (Mphil). He is Ph.D holder.

He is smart, brilliant with a photographic memory. He was once once described by a renowned   professor of political science (Ka’oje) of ABU Zaria as “precise, incisive and well-articulated." He has got oratory prowess reminiscences of the great Martin Luther King Jr.

What is more promising and interesting in the heart of Mustapha Lamido is his nationalism and the belief in made-in-Nigerian products. He believes that as Nigerians we all have a duty and obligation to patronize anything positive about and on Nigeria. This has been demonstrated in his believe in the Nigerian educational system. In other words, despite Mustapha Lamido’s wealthy background, he chose to pursue all his degrees here in Nigeria. To cut it short, MSL never studied abroad.  Lamido junior said NO to this unwholesome practice and show-off trend!  He said if we run away from the country’s educational system, how then will they know the problems of the sector let alone find the right solutions?

Secondly, Mustapha Lamido never schooled abroad because he believes that schooling together with the less privilege members of the society will offer him the opportunity to stay with the poor, mingle with the poor, have a direct contact to them, all with the overall aim of understanding their predicaments and provide them with not only a sense of belonging, but also with a helping hand.

To everyone who knows Santurakin Dutse or is privileged to stay with him, his generosity cannot be equalled. His hand is always reaching into his pocket to give, donate and assist people generously. His priority in life is to always help the helpless, voice the feelings of the voiceless and above all defend the defenseless citizens. He believes that God has blessed him in order to help others. To this effect, Lamido Junior gives out to both young and old, men and women, healthy and sick, able and disable, families and schools, prisons and hospitals etc. It is to his credit that he single handedly equipped university libraries with some of the most advance and modern books of the 21st century.

Santuraki had time without number served as a messiah to his alma mater through the construction and renovation of the school hostels and classrooms. This is just the tip of the ice berg, not talking of giving out to the cause of his creature and sustainer i.e construction and renovation of mosques which he considers as the most vital essence of his existence in this world.

The above good characters, manners and qualities of Mustapha Sule Lamido (Santurakin Dutse, Bsc., Msc, Mphil) together with numerous other ones which will be disclose in the next edition are some of the things that compelled me to pick my pen to disclose some of this Gentleman’s virtues in order to enable people of Jigawa central have an informed and right choice by giving him a chance to represent them in the Nigerian Senate come 2019.

It is my humble belief that if an individual can use his own resources to give so much as these to his people and community, without holding any public office, then what about when he is in the position of a Senator ?

Politics don become family business for 9ja lol

A man had to be taken to a hospital after overdosing on Tramadol on Sunday in Lagos. The “science student” went berserk after taking excess of the opioid pain medication in a fruitless attempt to get high. He had to be restricted by being tied up by people around as he behaved strangely in public.

Water was poured on him and food (garri) given to him as those who tied him up did all they could to bring him back from the “excited state”.

According to an online user, the young man was later taken to the general hospital in Lagos where he was treated.

Imagine what 12Bn investments in solar power can do.

Pls howuch does it cost to build power stations,

Depends, going rate in saner climes is $1 billion per 1000MW.

So, for an average 25MW power plant, $25 million on the average (9 billion naira at 360 naira per dollar)

@Gidi_Traffic The Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has said that his administration has spent about N12bn on power in one year. He said that the money is used in buying diesel to power street lights which has a total of 31,446 in the state.

The Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has said that his administration has spent about N12bn on power in one year.

The Governor made this known while speaking at the Lagos Means Business event which was held at Victoria Island, Lagos state.

He said that the money is used in buying diesel to power street lights which has a total of 31,446 in the state.

He explained that the essence of the street light to ensure that there are security and stability in all areas of the state..

Attributing the success of his administration, he stated that there are over a 100 project ongoing and delivered which includes the ten-lane airport road.

Compensation

The governor noted that in terms of compensation to people whose buildings, shops or offices were destroyed during the construction of Agege flyovers and airport roads, the government has paid almost “N4bn but with all the projects on ground compensation this year is going to be N6bn”.

He added that if these compensations are not paid there will be disagreement between people which will delay development in the progress made so far.
The governor further added that all these cannot be achieved by the government alone, therefore called on the private sector to help in achieveing this.

According to the governor, the private sector can grow the economy of Lagos state and provide needed jobs, by taking advantage of the enabling environment created by government.

In Canada, more than 500 doctors and residents, as well as over 150 medical students, have signed a public letter protesting their own pay raises.
"We, Quebec doctors who believe in a strong public system, oppose the recent salary increases negotiated by our medical federations," the letter says.
The group say they are offended that they would receive raises when nurses and patients are struggling.

"These increases are all the more shocking because our nurses, clerks and other professionals face very difficult working conditions, while our patients live with the lack of access to required services because of the drastic cuts in recent years and the centralization of power in the Ministry of Health," reads the letter, which was published February 25.

"The only thing that seems to be immune to the cuts is our remuneration," the letter says.
Canada has a public health system which provides "universal coverage for medically necessary health care services provided on the basis of need, rather than the ability to pay," the government's website says.
The 213 general practitioners, 184 specialists, 149 resident medical doctors and 162 medical students want the money used for their raises to be returned to the system instead.

"We believe that there is a way to redistribute the resources of the Quebec health system to promote the health of the population and meet the needs of patients without pushing workers to the end," the letter says.
"We, Quebec doctors, are asking that the salary increases granted to physicians be canceled and that the resources of the system be better distributed for the good of the health care workers and to provide health services worthy to the people of Quebec."

A physician in Canada is paid $260,924 ($339,000 Canadian) for clinical services by the government's Ministry of Health per year on average, according to a report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information published in September 2017. On average, a family physician is paid $211,717 ($275,000 Canadian) for clinical services and a surgical specialist is paid $354,915 ($461,000 Canadian), according to the same report.

This is total gross pay, however, and does not take into account overhead each doctor pays to operate, as the Canadian Institute for Health Information is careful to point out to CNBC Make It.
In May 2016, one physician publicly broke down the cost of running his family practice, and though he brought in $231,033 ($300,000 Canadian), he was left with $136,906 ($177,876 Canadian) after subtracting his business expenses — but before taxes and employment benefits are taken out.

The cost of medical school in Canada is subsidized by provincial governments, according to The Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada. The cost varies depending on whether a student is a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or foreign student and the particular school. For Canadian citizens or permanent residents, tuition for the first year of medical school ranges from $2567 ($3,334 Canadian) to $20,064 ($26,056 Canadian), according to The Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada's website.

The same group, the Médecins Québécois pour le Régime Public (MQRP), that published the aforementioned public letter, also published a letter on February 17 opposing $500 million worth of pay increases for specialist doctors. The group called the pay increase "indecent."
And on February 1, the MQRP published a letter denouncing working conditions of nurses. "The nurses are exhausted by a heavy workload. They argue that the chronic lack of staff and the fatigue caused by repeated overtime, sometimes mandatory, for lack of replacement of the team, have an impact on the safety of patient care," the letter says.

You were selling pure water and suddenly you got the money and the links to fly to Canada for study. The story did not add up.

Majority of pure water sellers in Lagos cannot afford a trip to Accra, talk more of Canada. Tell us in succession how you made your money or stfu.
I'm so tired of half baked "success stories", majority of which are meant to spite some perceived enemies, or show the world on Facebook that you're making progress. If you must write a success story, make sure you do it in successions. If you didn't buy a house in Canada from your ice water savings...then just stfu!!

I also sold ice water in my state but it got nothing to do with where I am today. Hadn't it been for my parents who paid my school fees, I would probably be somewhere begging on the streets. I did not get here by my own efforts, it took the joint efforts of my parents, teachers, lecturers and now clients..

Our only problem in Nigeria is bad and extremely greedy leaders!

Imagine only one person diverting 4000 bags of rice out of 6228

They set up IDPs, not because they are moved by your plight but it's another avenue for them to make money

opposition is very good in Nigeria if not so many things would have been swept under the carpet

Only small small thieves are brought to book while the big time thieves are in the government.

Lets see how this case goes

2019, lets elect credible leaders abeg!

Well, some people still believe in popularity contest in voting their leaders instead of their performances, attributes and achievements in their previous endeavors smh

Seems most Nigerians have not learned the lessons of 2015 yet

So would you rather have politicians loot money than build a stadium that is tangible?

So in other states where they are not building public infrastructures are you saying they are not stealing?

FYI the AKSG has done more than what you are suggesting visit the state website @www.akwaibomstate.gov.ng and get informed .

There is no difference between stadia and looting money. Infact, to burst your bubble, politicians still loot money through stadia construction by contract over-inflation, kickbacks and delaying the project completion.

So what is the difference?

Stadia too does not provide jobs for our teeming youths unlike the construction of factories and creation of a conducive business environment.

You can all see why most Nigerian voters need social orientation re-engineering especially with regards to election affairs.

Unfortunately, I am not and not willing to be a role model or change agent, got a lot of issues on my plate currently I'm dealing with. Someone else has to do that.

How is a stadium tangible? Smh

I can guess that Ogun and Anambra States also built stadia to attract factories to their states abi following your logic?

This is what I have been saying about most Nigerian voters needing social orientation re-engineering smh
