Recently there have been a lot of competition and upgrades amongst these networks in both data plans and call tariff plans. First on tariff was Etisalat with Eti easy life 4.0. Then mtn seeing the plan as a threat quickly followed suite.
With all this changes, i think its time you stop making calls at exorbitant rates that even my billionaire grand pa will object to lols. I Decided to write this after realising MTN zone plan now selects sims to call which is almost as good as blocked.
As at the time of writing this post, below are the cheapest Tariff plans from the four most used networks here in Nigeria. So you can compare and pick out the one which suites your daily budget, business or call habit/pattern.

For Etisalat, the cheapest tariff plan is no other than the newly launched Etisalat Easylife 4.0 package. which comprises of:

==>Calls at 11k/Sec to all network in Nigeria.
==>Calls at 20k/sec to 4
international destinations (UK landlines, US, China, India).
==>₦5 daily access fee which
will be deducted once you make your 1st voice call of the day.
==>With this, a minute call will amount to N6.6 only.

Update: Mtn has done their worse and increased Truetalk+ call rates to 20k/s so its currently no where near the cheapest call plan.
As for MTN, the new MTN Truetalk+ is your best bet. Its an upgrade of the previous MTN Truetalk plan. The plan offers:
==>Calls to all network in Nigeria at 11 kobo per second and 20kobo per secs to UK, USA, India, Canada and China with a daily access fee of N5 once you make your first call of the day.
==>With this, a minute call will amount to N6.6 only.

On Airtel, just give it up for the new Airtel SmartTalk plan which more or less offers same rate with Eti easylife 4.0 above. Details include:
==>Calls to all networks in Nigeria at 11 kobo per second (from the very
1st second) with a daily access fee of ₦5 charged once you make your first call of the day.

After reviewing all the tariff plan by glo, the cheapest still remains Glo Gbam Plus.
All with similar call tariff plan of 11K/sec to all networks after a daily access fee of N5.
Glo Gbam + (Plus)is Glo latest and cheapest call tariff plan that offers all prepaid Glo subscribers the ability to make calls to all networks at 11K/sec after a daily access fee of N5.
And you should note that the N5 is deducted only on days you make chargeable call, therefore you will not be charged the N5 daily access on days that you do not make any call.
With the Glo Gbam + (Plus) you can also call 5 international destinations of US, UK, China, India and Canada at a flat rate of 20k/sec and local and international SMS rates are charged at N4 and N10 respectively.

To migrate to Glo Gbam Plus, simply dial *100*6*1# with your Glo line and start enjoying the amazing call rates of 11K/sec to all networks.
You should also note that this is quite different from your normal Glo Gbam where you get 5mb daily and N5 daily access is deducted daily with or without you making call.
Now with the new Gbam Plus plan, you no longer get the daily 5mb.

Now I believe this is the time where you now make call without minding the network that you are calling and without constantly checking your account balance after every call because it is really getting cheaper by the day.

Social welfare negates the federal character principle. If some 50yrs ago provision was made for the forceful representation of all LGC in governance and distribution of wealth by now nobody should be entitled to a helping hand from the FG again. I see it as a second attempt by the FG to dash out monies to almajiri. The almajiris are even opposed to education n economic growth which was the initial excuse used in starting a skewed Federal Character scheme. Buhari should focus on building a strong Nigerian society that allows people express themselves economically instead of supporting them economically.
Let me bring you to light. If you don't know how educated the so called almajiris are, let me tell you. If there is to be employment opportunity in several MDA'S, believe this, the almajiris will virtually fill it up and so many left out of it. This is how educated they are now.
So, drop that nonsense about skewed Federal Character.

Well tell your dogs to stop distracting him on how much he sells popcorn in his private cinema.

There is no popcorn subsidy, shey you know?
Am glad you did mention it as his private business. The moment he equated that 'private business' of his with the happenings in the public and minimum wage, he's made it public.

The moment he became a senator thereby bringing himself to limelight, it is public.

The moment that business of his employs a thousand people, it is public.

The moment that 'private business' of his is for public consumption and he makes profit from there that he pays his staffs with, it is public.

So, that guy that criticized him for selling popcorn @800 is a stakeholder and deserve some respect.

Reason: a customer is always king.

No to oppression of customers, Nigerians.

FG, States, LGs Share N473.8bn For October
By NAN
— Nov 28, 2015 1:02 pm | Leave a comment
The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, on Friday said N473.8 billion was shared among the federal, states and local governments as revenue for October, 2015.

Adeosun announced this when she addressed newsmen on the outcome of the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting in Abuja.

She said the shared amount comprised the month’s gross statutory revenue of N400.3 billion.

“Also, there is the exchange gain of N6.9 billion which is proposed for distribution.

“Therefore, the total revenue distributable for October, including VAT of N60.1 billion, is N473.8 billion”, she said.

Adeosun said N6.3 billion was refunded to the federation by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), and was also proposed for sharing.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that N389.9 billion was shared to the three tiers of government as revenue for the preceding month. This shows an increase of N83.8 billion between the two months.

Giving the breakdown of revenue among the three tiers of government, Adeosun said the Federal Government received N191.9 billion, representing 52.68 per cent; states, N97.3 billion, representing 26.72 per cent.

The local governments, she said, received N75 billion, amounting to 20.60 per cent of the amount distributed.

Adeosun announced that N24.1 billion representing 13 per cent derivation revenue was shared among the oil producing states.

On VAT, she said N60.1 billion collected for the month showed an increase of N3.7 billion from what was collected in the preceding month.

She said that the country generated N187.2 billion as mineral revenue and N213 billion as non-mineral revenue.

She noted that this showed a decrease of N25.8 billion and increase of N104.2 billion from what the country generated as mineral and non-mineral revenues in the preceding month.

She puts the balance in the Excess Crude Account as at Friday, at 2.25billion dollars, which showed that nothing had been removed or added to it since July.

She expressed satisfaction with the leap in non-mineral revenue for the month, which she attributed to sound financial policies.

Adeosun decried the low revenue generation for the month, saying:

“Intermittent shut down and shut-in of production for repairs and maintenance at different terminals during the month continued to impact crude oil and gas revenues negatively.

“Also, there was revenue loss of 1.3 billion dollars as a result of drop in average price of crude oil from 47.3 per barrel to 46.9 per barrel in Sept. 2015”, she said. (NAN)

Politics › Soyinka: Tinubu Saved Nigeria. by yjgm(op): 8:23pm On Nov 27, 2015
Prof. Wole Soyinka's tribute to Sen. Asiwaju Tinubu.

"I do not admire Tinubu because he is a saint. I do not admire Tinubu because he is from the south. I do not admire Tinubu because he is a Yoruba. If I want saints, I will proceed to heaven not on earth. Every human is fallible. I admire Tinubu because; He saved Nigeria from the danger of falling into "one party state". He has nurtured many renowned National successors. He listened to the voice of the masses to surrender his personal ambition at the most critical moment. He strategically terminated PDP 60 years life spam in 16 years. The robust critic and critique we are enjoying today is because Tinubu aligned himself to the masses to return the power to them. Tinubu has the option of joining the PDP elites to hold us hostage for another decade but he gave his all to the masses to dethrone the elites. Political juveniles believed that APC won because of the votes from the North. No!!!, APC victory was cemented the day PMB and Asiwaju resolved to work together. Asiwaju and PMB almost became a Nomadic by visiting every human that can help midwife Nigeria
salvation. Those Nomadic Almajiri walk later brought salvation to us. God willing, PMB is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Anybody, any cabal, any Viju milk activist, attempting to humiliate Asiwaju must have me to contend with. An average PDP man is sad with Asiwaju because he brought them to their knee. If anyone thinks that bringing down Asiwaju is his project, that mission will not only crash but it will boomerang. Don't tell me he is overbearing, your
"underbearing" mentors were nowhere to be found when this Country was lying critically at the intensive care of the universe. Recall my first line, Asiwaju is not a saint. Stop demonising what you admire out of envy. Even your mentors admire him.
He owns Lagos! I hear you! Ask your grand father and parents how they acquired your so called "family
land". Is it God that allocated it to them?
You are terrorizing your neighbours and village with your kpof-kpof kobo yet you criticise a man that is naturally addicted to technocrats irrespective of their tribe or Religion.
Hmmmmm. I don talk am ooo, Asiwaju is not a political office holder oooo. Please let him be. He is evil, I agree, but we need more of him than a your a saintly specie. Dear Asiwaju, the gentle stride of a tiger is not a symbol of a cowardice".... Prof Wole Soyinka

Biafran Protest: Perspective Of An Unrealistic Sectional Demand
By Mike Ubani
— Nov 26, 2015 3:11 am | Leave a comment
Although the on-going protests in Igboland meant to actualise the defunct Republic of Biafra may never unfold into reality, there are suggestions from the South-East zone that the federal government should also make its presence be felt in the region, writes MIKE UBANI

Last week, South-East stakeholders, including the five governors in the zone, decided during a meeting in Enugu to dialogue with the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPoB) whose members have been remonstrating against the arrest, detention and prosecution of the director, Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. This sparked a ray of hope that issues instigating the sectional upheaval would soon be addressed.

But barely 24 hours after that meeting, the sectional unrest took a deeper crisis dimension when the Department of State Security Services (DSS), pushed for fresh charges against the boss of the controversial radio station. This exacerbated the issue, as the Biafra agitators disdained fortune and stormed Abuja in protest against Kanu’s arraignment in court.

Initially, the DSS had charged Kanu with criminal conspiracy before a senior Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja. But on Monday, November 23, the DSS told the court that Kanu was also involved in terrorism and financing of the criminal act. The prosecution counsel, Mr. Moses Idakwo urged the court to release the embattled Kanu to them, so he could be tried in a court of competent jurisdiction. Kanu is standing trial before the magistrate court on a three-count charge of criminal conspiracy, intimidation and belonging to unlawful society, to which he had earlier pleaded not guilty.

The Magistrate, Mr. Usuman Shuabu will on December 1, 2015 rule on whether it is legally apposite for Kanu to be taken to a higher court to stand trial, given the fresh allegations leveled against him. Expectedly, hundreds of the pro-Biafra protesters took to the streets of Abuja to protest the arrest, detention and trial of the Isiama Afara Ibeku-born director of Radio Biafra. There were similar protests that day on the streets of the commercial cities of Aba in Abia state, and Onitsha in Anambra state.

Indeed, before Monday’s outing at the Abuja magistrate court, several thousands of pro-Biafra protesters had protested on the streets of Asaba (Delta state), Onitsha, Awka, Enugu, Abakaliki, Umuahia, Aba, and Port-Harcourt (Rivers state), against the arrest, detention and prosecution of Kanu by the DSS. Beyond that, the protesters demanded the resuscitation of the defunct Republic of Biafra.

They argued vociferously that though Biafra was defeated by Nigeria armed forces on January 12, 1970, after 30 months of grueling and bloody civil war, they (protesters) who apparently were not born during that horrific war that claimed the lives of about one million people, mostly women and children, were now poised to secure independence for Biafra. The defunct Eastern Region was on May 30, 1967 declared the Republic of Biafra by Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, now late, who was then military governor of the Eastern Region.

Ojukwu and the Eastern Nigeria Consultative Assembly primarily pulled the former Eastern Nigeria out of the Nigerian federation following series of unchecked killings of Igbos then residing in the North, and other parts of the country. But 45 years after the end of the civil war, MASSOB, IPoB and the Zionist Movement of Biafra (BZM) are hell-bent on reviving the failed Biafra, an ambition not shared by several Igbos, some of them who have flourishing businesses in Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Abuja and even in the remotest villages outside the South-East.

The thinking of some Igbo elite is that the economic gains achieved by the Igbo after the civil war through dint of hard work, would go down the drain if another civil strife explodes. For instance, the Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministries, Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Fr. Ejike Mbaka said during the launch of new products by his company – Aqua Rapha Investments Limited that the “protests might develop into a full-blown crisis, capable of destroying South-East’s economic prosperity”.

On his part, former President Olusegun Obasanjo described the protesters as ‘miscreants’, while President Muhammadu Buhari was quoted as saying that the federal government will crush the protesters if they refuse to go back to their respective homes. During the last lap of the civil war, Obasanjo was commander of the 3rd Marine Commando of the Nigerian Army. He received the document signifying Biafra’s surrender from Ojukwu’s second-in-command, Col. Phillip Effiong.

But what really are the grievances of these pro-Briafan groups? There is a groundswell of opinion among those sympathetic to the Biafran course that the demand by several pro-Biafra groups including IPoB), for the revival of Biafra, could have been avoided if successive federal governments had improved the welfare of the people of the South-East by repairing overtly deteriorating federal roads in the zone; the reactivation of the coal mine in Enugu, the building of a second bridge in Onitsha, across River Niger, as well as the establishment of gigantic industries in the zone capable of absorbing thousands of youths from the area who daily roam the streets of Lagos and Abuja, in search of unexacting jobs.

To this effect, a communiqué issued by the South-East governors forum after their meeting in Enugu on November 17, 2015 and read by Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state noted that the governors and opinion leaders in the south east have agreed to set up a committee to intercede between the federal government and pro-Biafrans over the recent agitation for an independent Biafra state.

Okorocha explained that the resolution of the meeting was to send a delegation to meet President Muhammadu Buhari over the issues hindering the development of the region and the supposed marginalisation of the Igbo people. He said, “The governors are concerned about the poor state of the federal government roads in the zone, namely Enugu-Onitsha road, Aba-Ikot-Ekpene road, Owerri-Port-Harcourt road, Enugu-Port Harcourt road, among others which need urgent intervention by the federal government.

“After a compassionate review of the recent MASSOB/IPOB agitation in the country, it was resolved that a committee be set up to dialogue with MASSOB/IPOB as well as with the Federal Government with a view to finding a lasting solution to the issue.

“The elders also examined other issues including poor state of infrastructural facilities in the South-East, marginalisation in federal appointments and other socio-economic issues that impact on the economic development of the South-East and resolved to support the decision of the South-East Governors to set up an Economic Council and urged them to interface with the Federal Government on remedial measures. A delegation of the Elders of the South-East was mandated to meet with the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.

The south east governors failed in their bid to stop protests by members of the pro-Biafra groups over the continued detention of Kanu.

In a statement it issued, MASSOB rejected the resolutions the ground that it did not address the major reason for the protest, which is the continued detention of Kanu. Its Director of Information, Uchenna Madu said the only way to end the crisis is the unconditional release of Kanu. The group also said it was worrisome that South East governors met without their counterparts from the South South region, which also witnessed some protests.

Madu said, “MASSOB is not satisfied with all the meeting of Igbo leaders on Sunday because of no seriousness on the plight of Nnamdi Kanu,” Mr. Madu said. How can revered Igbo leaders waste a whole day in a marathon meeting without discussing our simple demand of Nnamdi Kanu’s release?Are they afraid of Northern oligarchy, western alliance with north or President Buhari? The governors, Ohaneze and other Igbo leaders have proved that they’re not representing the interest & demands of Ndigbo.

“They have shown their soft mind, inferiority complex and loyalty to our oppressors, we shall prove to Nigeria that the Igbo governors, national assembly members, other Igbo leaders are not truly in charge of affairs in Igboland”.

During the electioneering campaigns leading to the 2015 presidential election, Buhari who later emerged president on the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), promised to revive the Enugu coal mine if he became president. Though he got an infinitesimal vote from the electorate in the South-East, many say that now that he has become President, he should fulfill his campaign promises, particularly the ones he made to the people of the South-East.

Again, during its meeting on November 22, 2015, the South-East governors who were joined by traditional rulers and elders from the zone, regretted the marginalization of the South-East in federal appointments and “other socio-economic issues that impact on the development of the South-East”, and therefore, resolved to send a delegation of elders from the zone to meet with President Buhari.

“The pro-Biafra agitators will go back home any day the federal government shows enough interest in the development of the South-East.

The protest symbolizes many years of neglect of the zone by the federal government. Since Nigeria achieved independence in 1960, no Igbo man has occupied the seat of executive president, and it’s not likely that any will do for a long time to come”, says Elder Kalu Kalu, an Enugu-based public affair analyst.

There is a groundswell of opinion that the ongoing pro=Biafra protest would not metamorphose into any gun-battle between the protesters and the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. According to Nkemdilim Ogwo, a student in one of the tertiary institutions in the South-East, the Igbo currently lack leaders such as late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwus who would lead them to war. Even then, Ogwo argues that having witnessed the pangs and pains of war, Ojukwu, if he were alive, would not advice Ndigbo to go for another.

The thinking here is that the South-East governors should harness the resources in Igboland, to build and solidify the economy of the zone, instead of depending totally on the federal government. Ikenna Igwe, suggested that the moribund industries in the zone should be revived to create employment for thousands of youths scouting for jobs that are not there. He praised the South-East Governors’ Forum for deciding to set up an Economic Commission to examine the ways and means of building a robust economy in the South-East.

“This is not the first time security agents would arrest a high profile pro-Biafra agitator. Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, founder of MASSOB has been in and out of detention, yet nothing happened, so I don’t see how the arrest of the director of Radio Biafra will lead to war or dismemberment of Nigeria”, Ikechukwu Uduma, an Enugu-based business man said.

Uduma suggested that the Buhari administration should move fast to implement the recommendations of the National Conference, more so the restructuring of the country so that at least the Igbo will have one, if not two additional states. He also opined that the country should return to regional government to reduce the current tension in the land.

Breaking News: APC will only substitute Audu for Kogi supplementary election

Malami, who spoke in Abuja at a seminar organised by the Nigerian Law Reform Commission on the reform of the National Environmental Standards and Regulation Enforcement Agency (Establishment) Act‎, said the election has to be concluded



The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister for Justice, Abubakar Malami, has said for the inconclusive Kogi State governorship election, the All Progressives Congress will only need to substitute its candidate, Abubakar Audu, who died on Sunday.
Malami, who spoke in Abuja at a seminar organised by the Nigerian Law Reform Commission on the reform of the National Environmental Standards and Regulation Enforcement Agency (Establishment) Act‎, said the election has to be concluded.
Malami said the APC would have to substitute its candidate for the purpose of the supplementary election.
He however did not say that the party’s deputy governorship candidate, James Abiodun Faleke, would automatically step in as the candidate.
He said: “The issue is very straightforward.
“Fundamentally, Section 33 of the Electoral Act is very clear‎ that in case of death, the right for substitution by political a political party is sustained by the provisions of section 33 of the Electoral Act.
“And if you have a community reading of that section with Section 221 of the Constitution, which clearly indicates that the right to vote is the right of a political party and and the party in this case, the APC has participated in the conduct of the election.
“It is therefore apparent that ‎the combination community reading of the two provisions does not leave any room for conjecture.
“APC as a party is entitled to substitution by the clear provisions of section 33 of the Electoral Act.
“Also Section 221 of the Constitution is clear that the votes that were cast were cast in favour of the APC.
“Arising from that deductions, it does not require any legal interpretation.
“The interpretation is clear: APC will substitute, which right has been sustained by Section 33 of the Electoral Act.
“So be it.
“The supplementary election that has to be conducted along the line.”
Asked if ‎that substitution should automatically benefit Faleke, Malami said: “It all depends on the appreciation of issues arising from the primaries conducted before now.
“There was a first and a second candidate.
“That primaries that had taken place over time had not by anyway been nullified.
“And it is recognized by law.
“But then a further consideration would be the idea of conducting another primary but that is not envisaged in view of the sustainability of the first primaries.‎”

maupe:
This is totally unacceptable. The AGF should have called for fresh elections. So has to have a fair and free election, a fresh election is the only thing that should have sufficed. If INEC wants to be taken serious, they should discountenance the AGF's interpretation and announce a day for Fresh elections. This is Fraud.
Are you the AGF?

They are less concern that someone's father/brother/wife/in-law is dead, all they are after is POWER, APC hell is cominq for you all
Definitely. That is life for you. There is need to move on. Audu is gone and gone forever, no need to wail over it. Even PDP will have to join the charade. No need to be hypocritical about it.
