Islam is islam,waiting for the major difference.

Lol. Am pretty sure u v neva travelled out of ur local govt. Don't mean to sound derogatory, but Bro, u need to open up!

In Kogi, the population is evenly distibuted between Muslims n Christians. In Benue, over 97% of the population is Christian. In Plateau there are several ethnic groups, most of whom are Christians. In Niger state d Gwari people, who are more than half of the state, are Christians. I can go on and on.

Guy, do small homework na...

It seems many of them are victims too.

In fullness of time, we will probe the power sector.
From 4,000mw to 1,047.3mw? The former minster of Power must be probed. Thats corruption!
Definitely, the remaining 2,000 whatever mw is already in a swiss bank account!

Una never chichomchin!

APC=Opportunists

PROUDLY A WAILER!

Please read again. Power supply "drops by 1047mw", not "drops to 1047mw".

Best regards.

Power supply to households and businesses in the country has fallen below the 4,000 megawatts mark as 1,047.3MW was lost in seven days, data obtained from the Presidential Task Force on Power showed on Tuesday.

Last week, electricity from the national grid hit a record high of 4,810.7MW, which was achieved at 8:45pm on August 25.

The Transmission Company of Nigeria had then said the new peak followed the record set the previous day, August 24, when 4,748MW was wheeled by its network.

But electricity generation stood at 3,843.16MW on Monday, August 31, while 3,763.40MW was sent out, according to the PTFP.

On Sunday, August 30, generation was 4,117.73MW, while 4,029.83MW was sent out, data from the Federal Ministry of Power showed.

The dip in power generation and supply followed the shutdown of both the Trans Niger Pipeline and Nembe Creek Trunkline late last week.

Shell Petroleum Development Company had last Thursday declared force majeure on the export of Bonny Light crude oil, one of Nigeria’s main export grades, effective August 27, 2015, following the shutdown of both the TNP and the NCTL.

The Manager, Corporate Media Relations of the SPDC, Mr. Precious Okolobo, had said a leak was reported on the TNP at Oloma in Rivers State, while the NCTL was shut down for the removal of crude theft points, adding that the SPDC was working to repair and reopen the two lines as quickly as possible.

The Trans Niger Pipeline transports about 180,000 barrels of crude oil per day to the Bonny Export Terminal and is part of the gas liquids evacuation infrastructure critical for continued domestic power generation at the Afam VI power plant and liquefied gas exports, Shell said in a statement on its website.

Afam VI power plant has a generation capacity of 624 MW.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Power, Ambassador Godknows Igali, on Monday said electricity had been stable in the country lately because there was no case of gas pipeline vandalism.

He recalled that vandalism was the bane of electricity supply during the last administration.

He said things improved with the decision of the current administration to engage the communities through which the pipelines pass.

This, he said, led to increased gas supplies and improved power supply nationwide currently at 4,600MW.

Dis one na "poor-gba" not Pogba.

mavinc4u:
op, those figures were not forged by the lady you met. they were written at their Nahco office. the figure in blue is Nipost charges while the figure in Red is Custom charges. Nipost uses blue or black to write their figures while their so called custom uses Red to write their figures so the blue and red is normal.

before i can profer solution to you, you have to answer my questions, what exactly is the content in the package? what is the cost of the content and freight fee as declared by the sender and lastly was it insured and if yes, what is the percentage or the insurance fee? custom charges is base on C.I.F

Nice answer.

From d receipt, CIF (cost+Insurance+Freight) amounts to N100k. I think his dispute should be with d rate of duty applied(20%), and why should it be apllied at all.

His argument that tha package is "personal" and should not have attracted duty, that one got me thinking too. Those a re the areas he should explore.

But the charge was actually written by NAHCO so nipost don't have a say!

LongPennis:
Since everybody is failing integrity test in Nigeria, let buhari be the president, minister and judge too naa.

What kind of nonsense is this sef? Are all Nigerians daft?

Saint buhari indeed.

Years of decay and nepotism has created d system we have today. Competent people with integrity only get midway thru their careers, to give way for candidates favoured by politicians to get to the top. This is Nigeria as it today. To change am no be one year work o...

For making careless remarks, or for for the failings of his minions?

hinwazaka:
Can I ask you a question. Can you read or is it that you are blind. Where in my writeup did I say the words "Acting President". I simply indicated that in the absence of the president, the VP can sit in for him to handle matters in the OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT. Why can't you guys attend a night class so as to understand the use of English.

Unfortunately, u displayed ur lack of capacity to engage in discussion constructively.

Good luck to you and your lifestyle!

hinwazaka:
Actually in the stead of the president when absent, the VP acts as the president. The office of the president is what matters, not the man occupying the office. So, you are wrong. If the president is not in attendance, then the VP should occupy the seat. But from the pic, I believe, the pic shows them all standing as a mark of respect, as the president makes his entrance.

Keyword is "act". PYO is a vice president, and will only become "acting president" if the president is officially on vacation or medically indisposed, or other conditions prescribed by d constitution. He can only sit in that seat in acting or substantive capacity.
QED.

FFK!

Looking at the chairs they sat on, I think the one Akande and Tinubu sat on are for the Late Deputy and the Governor respectively. Good host I must say.

Very good observation from keen eyes.

Did you read the article?This is the bane we have with youths of these days.They are so lazy to read or think for themselve.They want every thing fast.And its telling on a lot of comments here.Read,think and learn before you comment.

Read d article over again n it says d guy was lodging in a hotel. Don't see anything wrong with his question.

A deputy governor of another state should have been properly housed by d host state. Except he was there in his private capacity.

A deputy governor should hv bn d guest of Yola state govt and properly housed accordingly. Not holed up in a hotel where people can even peep thru his window!

Protocol failure!

If they have nothing to hide, then them have nothing to fear!

Points well articulated. I was shocked at the mention of the MD of LNG, and felt embarrassed by d mess dis issue has created.

The whereabout of previous payments from d LNG ought to be probed. LNG MD should provide evidence of previous payments and the accounts that received d credits. That will be a starting point. Next NOI should be made to account for d LNG tax.

Meanwhile I hope PMB n his crew have not diverted funds meant for education tax to federation account! Education tax belongs to Tetfund strictly by law.

warrior01:
I thought there was nothing like petroleum subsidy in Nigeria, so why remove something that doesn't exist? Something must really be wrong with the mental state of mr Buhari

Slow but sensible Presido has set about it the right way...plug d leakages first! Reviewing oil swap arrangements mean that soon we will be getting refined products for the value of crude exported(i.e d equivalent of 445,000 bpd that would be swapped,usually reserved for local refineries). Invariably, the need for subsidy will be eliminated once transparency sets in. I see a downward review of prices while d country will make money from reviewed oil swap deals!

The banana thing is racist...can't believe a fellow African is lost on d meaning and significance. We are insulting our own!

Pope22:
What about those who have different bank accounts in different banks but with different names? The one you do in one, will it cover for others even when they are different names?

BVN is meant to stop things like this. How can u have accounts in different banks with different names? Surely, a fraud like that cannot stand by the time it takes off fully.

You need to streamline your identity. Plus if u have already enrolled,your finger prints will already be on record. Any attempt to enrol again will be detected as a fraud attempt and your account will be blocked. You can change ur name, but can't change ur fingerprints!

softnipples:
From what I learnt from our contitutional law classes in 200L, the president need not be pysically present for such proclamation to take effect. Sending a letter in this regard will suffice.
In any case, what we just witnessed was just an inauguration.


*edited*
I learnt president Buhari has even sent a letter to that effect

I was just curious as a citizen, and hoping they got it right.

Rule of law should be d watchword here.

APC must have shot itself in the foot with all the rancour and bickerings...

Than you for d link.

I was curious because over the years the Nass has always been flagged of by a sitting Chief executive, be it Governor or President. His proclamation is usually read I'm person on the floor of the joint sitting in d case of d President/Nass.

What say you about that?

Can the national assembly proceed to"sit" and "elect" it's officials before the proclamation by the President? Is d election of Saraki an act in vain? Was it designed to precipitate crises in the house?

3. Subject to the provisions of this constitution,the person elected as the President shall have power to issue a proclamation for the holding of the first session of the National Assembly immediately after his being sworn in or for its dissolution as provided for in this section.



Oya, Lawyers in the house, has the President issued a proclamation for the first sitting of the National Assembly?

DuchessLily:
Respect company/pple's policies

Its only in naija dat anything can happen

Without details, it's hard to place the blame. However, if a company policy discriminates against people living with disadvantages, then it's not a fair policy n should be revised. Her actions will draw attention to dis disgrace of a policy.

Imagine it was ur relative at d receiving end of such!

Scam. Fraud. Spear phishers. Please do not respond to that e-mail.

Zacheaus Somorin in Toronto with agency report

Apple has bought Chinedu Echeruo’s HopStop.com, The Wall Street Journal’s publication, AllThingsDigital reports. Founded in 2005, HopStop.com makes mobile applications for both iOS and Android that covers over 300 cities and that helps people get directions or find nearby subway stations and bus stops. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed as at the time of this report.

Chinedu Echeruo, formerly an analyst at investment banks and hedge funds, founded HopStop in 2005. Echeruo is now Chairman of the Board for HopStop. HopStop has been compared to Israel’s Waze which was recently acquired by Google for $1 billion. The move is seen as Apple’s plan to bolster its map offering especially given Google’s recent acquisition of Waze.

A serial entrepreneur, Chinedu Echeruo grew up in Eastern Nigeria and attended Kings College, Lagos. He attended Syracuse University and the Harvard Business School in the United States and founded HopStop.com after working for several years in the Mergers & Acquisitions and Leveraged Finance groups of J.P Morgan Chase where he was involved in a broad range of M&A, Financing and Private Equity transactions.

He also worked at AM Investment Partners, a $500 million volatility-driven convertible bond arbitrage hedge fund. He founded and raised nearly $8 million for his two U.S based internet companies: Hopstop.com andTripology.com.  Tripology.com was acquired in 2010 by American travel and navigation information company, Rand McNally.

True to form, Echeruo is working on yet another venture but this time, focused on small businesses in Africa.  According to him, “there is no reason why every entrepreneur should have to reinvent the wheel every single time in all the countries in Africa. My idea is to essentially have one place where a budding entrepreneur can access a template for starting a business, and then customize it to suit their own situation; essentially, a business-in-a-box.”

My dad was and is still called piccolo, the name came as a result of his voice, he is also called Finisher by some of his peers as a result of his football skills/goal scoring abilities, sometimes he says "if only football paid in our time, all you get then was oranges for playing well"

When I saw finisher, my mind strayed for a while...like, bad guy things, until I got to the football part...lol.

But have u ever imagined what he was like with the ladies of his time?

With background sounds of heavy traffic, You're hearing the intersection of 44th Street and 2nd Avenue in New York City.
The northeast corner of this intersection is significant to the Nigeria story for two reasons. First, it is the site of Nigeria's mission to the United Nations and their New York consulate. Second, the New York City Council has renamed this corner Kudirat Abiola Corner.

To understand the significance of Kudirat Abiola we have to go back to 1993, the last time Nigeria experimented with democracy. Kudirat's husband, Moshood Abioloa, ran for President and he won but the election was annuled by the then head of state Ibrahim Babangida

That street was named in the hey days of Abacha govt, to spite Abacha. They proposed to name another for ken saro Wiwa, I can't remember. Abacha retaliated, I think, by renaming d street where American embassy was located in Lagos Louis farrakhan.Jerry Gana,Abacha's minister of information, make mouth die....how time flies, 17 years ago!
