ASUU Strike: We Can’t Pay N284b Allowances – Federal Government

                                                      

“If we are in a recession and you are asking us to pay you N284 billion, nobody will pay it because the money is not there,”

The Federal Government yesterday said it could not afford the N284 billion earned allowances being demanded by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). Earned allowances are the emoluments the lecturers are entitled to enhance academic productivity and increase research output.

The Federal Government has met seven of the eight demands of aggrieved university lecturers. One of the demands that could not be met is the N284 billion allowance owed the lecturers, and which the government cannot meet now because of “recession,” an official said.

The university lecturers, ASUU, embarked on a one week warning strike last Wednesday which was called off yesterday evening.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige told reporters after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in Abuja that of the eight demands made by ASUU, the earned allowances could not be trashed out “because everybody knows and agrees that we are in recession. If we are in a recession, and you are asking us to pay you N284 billion, nobody will pay it because the money is not there.

6 SEX POSITIONS THAT ARE SURE TO GET HER SCREAMING YOUR NAME AS SHE OGS

We're guys, so it doesn't take much for us to blow our load. That may sound a bit demeaning, but, let's face it, we can get hard just thinking about a hot girl, so when you add in a little lubrication and rubbing, things are bound to burst.

While dudes have it easy in the quest to climax, getting a girl off can be a little bit more difficult, as it takes all sorts of moves and maneuvers for it to happen—especially during sex. Guys will read everything to learn the proper technique, but, really, all it takes is knowing the right positions that hit all her sensitive spots.

That's why these are the best sexual positions to make sure she's screaming your name, getting off and bound to be asking for seconds again later.

6. Missionary

I know, I know, you'll feel cheated by doing the most boring and traditional sex position on the planet, but there's a reason why it's old faithful when it comes to banging—because it's effective. Since you're going in diagonally—rather than just straight in and out—you'll be hitting her clit, which is where it's at when trying to get girls off. It might remind you of high school when you lost your virginity, but it works.

5. Girl On Top

Another classic position, when a girl is facing you and riding your, ahem, unit, it puts her in control by moving the way she enjoys the most, meaning all those little nerves inside of her will get hit one way or another. Don't make her do all the work, though, because moving her hips back and forth and up and down with your hands will only help get her to climax even faster.

4. Spooning

Forget the fact that this is her favorite position to sleep in with you and let's focus on the fact that it's actually a pretty solid option to make sure she gets off, too! Having sex while spooning involves little penetration—sorry, dudes, you're not Ron Jeremy over here—meaning the front of her lady part is getting hit with just the right amount of pressure. It can be awkward at first, but you'll know when it's time to go full throttle depending on how wet she gets.

3. Doggie Style

In the history of men, there might not be a more desired sexual position than doggie style, which allows every guy to sort of live out his fantasy of plowing a girl as if he were a porn star. That's good and all, but make sure you don't actually think you're on camera and you make it enjoyable for her, too. This involves reaching around and rubbing her G-spot as you slide in and out, otherwise she's sort of just moaning and faking it for your enjoyment.

2. Pinned Against A Wall

Other than doggie style, there might not be a position that feels more masculine than picking your girl up and having her straddle you as you pin her against the wall for some sex. And while this can feel awkward at times, if the two of you get it down, she'll get off so great that she'll make it a go-to move. Make sure she's not just relaxing back against the wall, but instead leaning forward with her hips pointed towards you. Have her completely wrap her legs around you and go in nice and slow as her mind gets blown.

1. Reverse Cowgirl

There's a reason why reverse cowgirl is in just about every single porno you've ever watched—because it's so stimulating for the girl that she just needs to do it. With the girl sitting down on you as if you were a chair, she can ride however she wants to, moving her hips in a circular motion, bouncing up and down or moving back and forth to make sure you're hitting all her right spots. Take part in the fun by wrapping your hands around her and playing with her breasts for the best sex you'll ever have together.

BEHAVIOURAL REASONS WHY BOKO HARAM STILL EXIST

I

BEHAVIORAL REASON WHY BOKO HARAM STILL EXIST

  Boko haram sect had been a kind of terrorist group that their leaders can not be identify in the political setting, they are international terrorist that have various base within and outside the country. BH had execute alot of attack on Nigerian's, and Nigeria troop, these attack is executed by Nigerian's. they also attack neighborhood countries like Chad, Cameroon. they use captured Nigerian's to execute these attack on foreign soil. the sect also manufacture weapons like IED and other bombs which Nigeria armed force barely provide for the soldiers. All these written about the sect is just an extract, the sect capacity goes beyond that.

    Now let talk about the behaviour of the victims that keep the terrorist group alive, these behaviour which the study tag irrational behavior.

  An average Yoruba and Igbo man is a rational being, while more than average northerners are irrational. these may be due to some factor's I listed below.

1.) Poverty

2.) Lack of interest for the state macro economic goals 

3.) Lack of interest for human basic needs 

4.) They give up thinking of the negative outcome in their future.

5.) They are over over discipline ( enforce compliance).

6.) They have too much believe for themselves 

7.) Unlawful information about the govt 

8.) General factor ( corruption) 

9.) Other factor's.

1.) Poverty: Poverty is rampage in Nigeria, most especially in the north were there is large population, the act of poverty make alot of them to be irrational because they will not have the privilege to think rational.

2.) Lack of interest for Nigeria macro economic goals: I will say these might be because Nigeria had no good results on the macro economic objectives ( like full employment, price stability, BOP, and so on).

3.) Lack of interest for human need: The need which might include education, cloths etc. the northerners do not highfalutin those needs.

4.) They give up thinking of the negative outcome in their future.

5.)They are over discipline: They are over discipline, and discipline sometimes is not adequate for some situations. this is properly explain below under the features of been rational.

  FEATURES OF RATIONAL BEHAVIOR

1.) A rational human being is discipline but not always: Take example, someone who is rational will be told to bomb his or herself, and he will agree then take the bomb and goto the place of detonation, but when going he will start is rational thought like.  1.) If I go now and detonate this bomb, I will die now and if I did not go my family will be killed, let assume that is the condition given. that is the first thought. 2.) second thought, what if I didn't detonate the bomb, no no no don't think like that you want to betray your people, still thinking, yes if I betray dem I will not be d first or last to do that, may be I should go to police department and turn myself in, what might happen, he will answer by thinking his family will be kill and he will also get killed because some cops might be an intruder from the sect. ( still thinking) but even if I detonate the bomb how will I confirm if my family will be free or they will even be sending them one after the other to detonate more bombs. Now the rational being will estimate the consequences of going to police department compare with detonating the bomb and he will realise that he and his family will still eventually die but it might not be that due date and he will not even kill any innocent citizens. and also he will think that he has disobey the order given to him, and is going to consider himself not discipline. For a good rational being, he will accept to disobey the order while the irrational being will prefer to obey and prove that they are discipline by detonating the bomb and they end up killing alot of people.

2.) someone who is rational is spontaneous.

3.) Someone who is rational always think fast about a situation, like what will happen next. take for instances, when chatting with someone, he will think of what the person will say next.

4.) Always find alternative approach to situations.

5.) Always compare outcome of behavior before choosing the one that is relatively Ok.

6.) Someone who is rational don't give up easily.

   suggested solution to the problem, Government should make policies that will rehabilitate the attitude of the northerners, so that they will always think government will always be there for them, so they will not join the BH sect again.

$2.3bn NNPC funds: CBN bars 9 banks from forex market

CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele

Oyetunji Abioye

The Central Bank of Nigeria on Tuesday wielded the big stick as it barred nine Deposit Money Banks from the nation’s foreign exchange market for failing to remit the sum of $2.334bn belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to the Treasury Single Account.

President Muhammad Buhari had last September ordered all the DMBs in the country to remit all Federal Government funds to the TSA.

The banks are: First Bank of Nigeria Limited ($469m); Diamond Bank Plc ($287m); Sterling Bank Plc ($269m); Skye Bank Plc ($221m); Fidelity Bank ($209m); United Bank for Africa ($530m); Keystone Bank ($139); First City Monument Bank (FCMB) $125m; and Heritage Bank ($85m).

Officials of the CBN officials told our correspondent that the sanction would remain until the DMBs could remit the funds to the CBN.

The officials further said the further disciplinary actions awaited the errant banks after remitting the funds in full to the Federal Government’s coffers.

As of time of filing this report, it was learnt that some bank executives were meeting with the CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, over the development.

However, the Head, Corporate Communications, UBA, Mr. Charles Aigbe, said the bank was not among the banks sanctioned by the CBN.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Aigbe said, “Our attention has been drawn to report of the ban of UBA from the foreign exchange market by the CBN over the non-remittance of the NNPC/NLNG dollar deposits.

“We wish to state very categorically that UBA has completely remitted all the NNPC/NLNG dollar deposits. We thank all our numerous customers, business partners and other. stakeholders who have reached out to us on account of this report.”

The spokespersons for First Bank, Mr. Babatunde Lasaki, said the lender would issue a statement on the development.

But as of the time of filing this report, he had yet to do so.

Spokesperson for FCMC, Mr. Diran Olojo, in a terse response, said, “We are working with the CBN on an amicable resolution. This is really a function of the dire macroeconomic situation and illiquidity in the FX markets, rather than concealment or wilful non-compliance by banks.”

Spokesperson for Diamond Bank, Mr. Mike Omeife, did not respond to telephone calls and text messages seeking their reaction on the development.

The Skye Bank spokesperson, Mr. Ndumechi Ezurike, could not be reached for comments.

Spokespersons for Fidelity Bank, Sterling Bank and Heritage Bank could not comment immediately.

However, sources in the banks said their managements were working with the CBN to resolve the matter.

It was learnt that Fidelity Bank had been following a payment plan agreed with the CBN on the funds.

Following the President’s directive on the TSA last September, majority of the banks had complied by remitting all the Federal Government funds including that of the NNPC to the TSA.

However, the CBN reportedly fined First Bank, UBA and Skye Bank for failing some billions of naira to the Federal Government coffers in line with the TSA directive.

Further investigations by our correspondent revealed that following the presidential directive on the TSA, most of the DMBs remitted all naira-denominated funds in their possession including that of the NLNG/NNPC to the CBN.

However, the dollar components of the NLNG/NNPC funds in the banking system, estimated at about $5bn, could not be remitted immediately due to scarcity of forex in the country.

However, the banks reached an agreement with the CBN to start remitting the funds on monthly basis.

The monthly payment plan submitted by the banks to the CBN, it was learnt, was being followed by the some banks while other defaulted.

Following the compliance of some of the banks to the payment plan, the dollar component of the NLNG/NNPC funds was reduced to $2.3bn.

The failure of some banks to comply with the payment plans and the dire need for the CBN to shore up the nation’s fast-depletin

|Nigeria Shekau ‘fatally wounded’ in air strike, Army says

Nigeria’s military said Tuesday it believes an airstrike has “fatally wounded” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau but that there was no way to confirm yet another claim of the death of Nigeria’s Islamic extremist leader.

A statement from the military does not say how officials got the information but identifies other commanders as “confirmed dead” in an air raid on Friday.

Nigerian security forces have at least three times in the past declared that they have killed or fatally wounded Shekau, only to have him resurface in video and audio recordings. The military has said in the past that Boko Haram was using look-alike fighters to impersonate the supposedly dead leader.

The strikes came in “the most unprecedented and spectacular air raid” carried out by the Nigerian air force while Shekau was praying on Friday, Islam’s holy day, at Taye village in the extremists’ Sambisa Forest holdout in northeast Nigeria, according to the statement signed by army spokesman Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman.

“Those Boko Haram terrorist commanders confirmed dead include Abubakar Mubi, Malam Nuhu and Malam Hamman, amongst others. While their leader, so-called ‘Abubakar Shekau’, is believed to be fatally wounded on his shoulders. Several other terrorists were also wounded,” the statement said.

The statement comes as U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry is to meet in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, with President Muhammadu Buhari, on a visit to discuss Islamic extremism and regional security. Kerry, speaking Tuesday morning in northern Sokoto city, made no reference to the army’s report.

Shekau started the uprising in 2009 that has killed 20,000 people, driven more than 2.2 million from their homes and spread across Nigeria’s borders. It has been marked by deadly attacks and suicide bombings at schools, mosques and marketplaces and mass abductions including nearly 300 schoolgirls taken from a remote school in northeastern Chibok town in April 2014. Dozens escaped but 218 remain missing.

A video showing dozens of the girls last Sunday said Shekau is willing to negotiate a prisoner swap for detained Boko Haram commanders. President Buhari is under increasing pressure to rescue or negotiate the girls’ release, but his spokesman has said officials are wary after previous negotiations failed because officials were duped into talks with the wrong people.

Boko Haram appears to be fractured by a leadership struggle as the Islamic State group announced that it had a new leader. Shekau has insisted he is still in charge. He had pledged the group’s allegiance to the Islamic State group last year — giving the extremist group its first franchise in sub-Saharan Africa.

Kerry warns Nigeria military, police over conduct

Visiting US Secretary of State John Kerry has warned Nigerian security forces that they need to police the country in a sensitive way.

Kerry, who is on a flying visit to the country, had earlier urged the Federal Government to build trust with the people as a means of tackling extremism and corruption.

Speaking in Sokoto, where he has gone to visit the Sultan, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, Kerry said: “Building public trust also requires co-operation from law enforcement and the military.

“It is understandable that in the wake of terrorist activities some people are tempted to crack down on everyone and anyone who could theoretically pose some sort of a threat.

“I caution against that today extremism cannot be defeated through repression and just creating fear.”

He said that the authorities need to win the trust of the people, reports the BBC.

“We also know that beating Boko Haram on the battlefield is only the beginning of what we must do,” K erry is quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying.

“Building public trust in government also requires cooperation from the military and law enforcement. Extremism can’t be defeated through represion or fear.”

The Osun State government received nothing from the federation account in April 2016 after appropriate deductions by the federal government.

The deduction from Osun was part of the N32 billion deducted by the federal government from states as repayment for bailout funds and other loans extended to the affected states and the federal government.

For Osun, the state’s allocation of about N2.03 billion from the federal revenue was insufficient to offset its total debt to the federal government of about N2.391 billion.

At the end of the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting for April 2016, the state went home empty handed. It still, however, owes the federal government about N361 million which will be deducted from subsequent months.

The Director, Osun State Bureau of Communication and Strategy, Semiu Okanlawon, did not respond to calls to inquire how the state government, which has had difficulty paying workers salaries, would cope without its April allocation.

Mr. Okanlawon did not also respond to a text message sent to his telephone on Sunday.

Apart from Osun, other states that had huge deductions by the federal government include Bayelsa, Cross River, and Ogun.

Bayelsa had N3.207 billion, 66.7 per cent, deducted from N4.812 billion allocated to it in April.

Other deductions included Cross River State, N1.405 billion (63.46 per cent); Ogun, N1.185 billion (57.2 percent); Plateau, N1.248 billion (56.52 per cent); and Ekiti, N1.067 billion (55.33 per cent).

Seven states – Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Jigawa, Kogi, Lagos, Rivers, and Yobe – along with the Federal Capital Territory did not have deductions, as they did not collect the bail-out funds used for the deduction.

Apart from bail-out funds, which took about N3.078 billion from the affected states, loans the states are now repaying to the federal government include debts on Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) loans, commercial agricultural credit scheme, bond issuance programme, obligations to contractors, and deduction from excess crude account.

Other deductions include refund/payment arrears of derivation, foreign loans, special intervention/flood management projects, the national FADAMA project and reconstruction of commercial bank loans into FGN bonds.

While speaking on how Bayelsa State would cope after losing two-thirds of its allocation to debt repayment, the Commissioner for Information, Jonathan Obuebite, said the state has adopted strategies to shore its internally generated revenue base.

Apart from slashing the salaries of political office holders and members of the state executive council by 50 per cent, Mr. Obuebite said the state government reviewed its tax collection strategies to capture evaders.

He said since the adoption of new revenue generation strategies, the state’s revenue yield improved from about N100 million per month to about N500 million.

“Our target is to hit N2 billion every month,” he said. “Part of our strategy to realize that target is to get all the oil companies doing business in the state, including Shell, to pay their corporate tax to the state.

“Already, we are in court to get all the companies to begin to pay taxes in their area of operation. The state will be comfortable with that arrangement.”

INEC chairman under fire over inconclusive elections

– The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been cautioned against further inconclusive elections 

– A group, the Transition Monitoring Group (TMG) said the recurring inconclusive elections in the country can longer be condoned

The chairman of INEC, Mahmood Yakubu

The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Mahmood Yakubu is under fire for several inconclusive elections it has conducted so far.

Speaking in Abuja on Monday, August 22, the new leadership of the Transition Monitoring Group (TMG) – a coalition of human rights and civil society organizations in Nigeria – said the recurring inconclusive elections in the country cannot be condoned.

TMG blamed this on the “chronic insecurity in the electoral space”.

The new chairperson of the group, Abiola Akiode-Afolabi said TMG is, ready to partner with other stakeholders to ensure the issue of inconclusive election is addressed.

Akiode-Afolabi further called on the electoral body to up its game come 2019.

“This task becomes the more urgent with the recent position of the chairman of INEC that the electoral umpire cannot guarantee the Nigerian people conclusive polls come 2019,” Akiode-Afolabi said.



“INEC has an important role to if we must address all inconclusiveness in the electoral process.

“TMG on my watch will provide the leadership required by Civil Society to engage the most fundamental issues facing the electoral process,” she said.

She said it is important to note that a review of Nigeria’s electoral law has become necessary follow the magnitude of impunity in the system.

Also speaking, the outgoing chairman of the group Ibrahim Zikirullahi highlighted achievements recorded by TMG.

He said these achievements are the road-map for a brighter future.

“I am thankful that by the grace of the almighty and the solidarity of individuals too numerous to mention, my tenure was able to achieve the reforms that would take TMG to greater heights.

“For the benefit of hindsight, the reforms include: a new amended 2015 TMG Constitution in tune with global best practices; TMG Five-year Strategic Plan titled “Redefining Relevance, Regaining Leadership” to provide a road map to guide us and our donors from 2013, leading the way up to 2018; and to address the absence of critical policy framework, we also put in place important policy documents and manuals to guide operations of TMG,” Zikirullahi s

Congratulating the new chair of TMG, Zikirullahi all staff and members of the group to accord her the necessary support for her to flourish creditably.

“At the helm of leadership that I am handing over our great coalition to, is an indefatigable Comrade of repute, a woman of great intellect and integrity who also has a real passion for service. She is none other than the consistent human/women’s rights advocate, and activist par excellence, Dr. Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi.

“She is a personification of the wealth of knowledge, experience and innovative leadership, which our nation will benefit when more women step up to the stage of leadership.

“I therefore call on you to give this new TMG Board much more than the support you gave the past one. Doing so is patriotic service because the work we do as a coalition contributes immensely to national stability in our very challenged country.”

Since assuming office in October 2015, Mahmood as the chairman of INEC has witnessed several inconclusive elections in various states across Nigeria including: Abia, Imo, Rivers, Kogi states and many others.

This development is different from what was experienced during the tenure of the last INEC chairman Attahiru Jega.
