200 Million Nigerians Are The ‘Cabals’ Controlling Buhari — Presidency

The Presidency yesterday said rather than a so-called cabal, an imaginary creation linked to all past governments of the country, President Muhammadu Buhari is remote-controlled by the 200 million-plus Nigerian people.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu said that it was the interest of the Nigerian masses that is uppermost in everything the President says and does.

Reacting to various comments by several organs of the opposition party on remarks made by the President on views publicly expressed by his wife, Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, Garba said if the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP wants to make family the issue in the coming elections, the APC would gladly accept the challenge.

The presidential spokesman told State House Correspondents that the said questions raised of the President by the PDP in regard to his wife only amounted to an own goal.

“The PDP leadership cannot afford to make family an issue in this campaign. Need I say more? The only thing I want to add is that PDP is engaging in mud-slinging because it finds it easier than speaking on their despicable 16-year record in the course of which they abused the trust of Nigerians.

“They made a mess of everything including the economy, security, and infrastructure. It has come to the destiny of President Muhammadu Buhari to correct their mistakes.

“The PDP doesn’t see anything beyond grabbing power, power at all costs. As an opposition party, they have failed. They have remained disconnected from the masses of our people.

It is an irony that a party that boasted as being the largest in Africa is now begging small parties for alliances. Even if they get all those paper parties behind them, they will still fail. A Presidential contest is more than the issuance of daily press releases containing falsehoods.

“They have launched a campaign for the Presidency, a campaign that has failed to get any traction. PDP members are themselves admitting that the campaign hadn’t made a good start, that attendance at rallies had unarguably been thin. The whole thing is not working; that President Buhari is unstoppable,” he said.
He continued: “ The PDP doesn’t have the strength and support to fight President Buhari. They don’t have the records in security, economy and the war against corruption to mount any meaningful challenge. They have no records of accomplishments in infrastructure.

In the 16 years they held sway, they have nothing to show for the colossal oil revenues earned, including USD 16 billion doled upfront from the Central Bank for power, without a single megawatt to show for all that money. That is why they are dragging the President’s wife into their politics.”

Osinbajo’s Dream Of 2023 Presidency Insensitive, Will Never Come To Pass – Obi



A senior member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Ben Obi, has said reacting to the comment by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on the 2023 presidency going to the Southwest.

According to him, OsinbĂ jo’s remark was insensitive and height of mischief.

Recall that Osinbajo had said President Muhammadu Buhari would hand over the presidency to the South West after completing his two terms in office.

But in a statement in Abuja, Obi berated Osinbajo for asserting that the presidency would revert to the South West after Buhari in 2023.

“Apart from the fact that the PDP will win the 2019 presidential election in which case Osinbajo’s reckless and morally outrageous scenario will never come to pass, the mere thought of making that insensitive declaration after Obasanjo’s 8-year presidential tenure and Osinbajo’s 4-year vice presidency, in the context in which power is yet to rotate to the South East, is the height of political intolerance and mischief-making,” he said.

Obi, who is also the Director of the Campaign’s CUPP/Inter-party Directorate, said Osinbajo should learn the historical circumstances that threw up the Obasanjo Vs Falae presidential contest in 1999 and why the Late Dr. Alex Ekwueme sacrificed so much to ensure that Obasanjo won that election.

The senator charged Osinbajo to retrieve his “lost moral compass” with regard to this issue, and “also with regard to his Tradermoni vote-buying antics which, as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, a professor, and a pastor, he knows to be an unethical, corrupt and reprehensible electoral maneuver.”

The PDP chieftain said the opposition party would be working closely with local communities and their grassroots-based organizations for a full buy-in into its vision of getting Nigeria to work again, the first step of which would entail taking the country back and re-directing it on the path of peace, security, and prosperity

Boko Haram: Ben Bruce reveals why 150 policemen dumped counter-insurgency training


The Senator representing Bayelsa East constituency in the National Assembly, Ben Murray-Bruce, has rationalised the reported absconding of over 150 police officers drafted for counter-insurgency operations in the northeast.

According to him, it was common sense for the police personnel to feel ‘demotivated’ towards the fight against Boko Haram, having witnessed how the Federal Government purportedly neglected the families of heroes who lost their lives battling terrorists in the region.

Buttressing his point on Twitter, the lawmaker cited the recent funeral of troops who died in Metele fighting Boko Haram as an instance, saying neither the President nor his representative was present as they were laid to rest.
He tweeted: “Why won’t the policemen run? If they die what will happen to their wives and children?

“Look at how we buried the hero soldiers who died at Metele. The President did not attend. He was not represented. Those policemen were watching. Are they fools? Do they want the same treatment?”

However, the Nigerian military has offered a clear explanation on a news report that over 150 among the 2000 Policemen deployed to fight Boko Haram insurgents in the North East, absconded from their counter-insurgency military training exercise.

Brigadier-General A. S. Ishaq, the Coordinator Nigeria Police Force for Operation Lafiya-Dole (NPFOLD), in a chat with PRNigeria, said there was nothing like policemen absconded, but just a case of some recalcitrant personnel leaving their training base for a reason which was not cogent.

The top Army officer added that the special training, which should have been concluded last Friday, was extended for one week to enable the Policemen to partake in all the requisite military combat exercises before they depart the camp.

“The Policemen didn’t abscond as alleged in media reports. What happened was that some of the Police officers insisted on going for the Christmas holiday. But in line with standard military operations, there was no way officers undergoing special training on a combat-operation, could leave their base when the training exercise has not rounded up.

“So, we refused to grant them permission. However, the unruly ones among them left our Special Forces School at Buni-Yadi, venue of the training. But thank God, the unruly personnel were tracked at Damaturu, the state’s capital. Right now, some of them have been brought back to the School,” he said.

“The Commissioner of Police and the Air Force Commander are putting their heads together to make sure that the situation is brought under control.

“The Police man (Suspect) was whisked away from the scene and his gun was taken away from him by the Police command to avoid further situation.”

“The suspect would face orderly room trial and if found wanting, will be sanction according to the law. Investigation is continuing. He is Sergeant Williams Enah from Mopol eleven,” she stated.

Nigerian Police Opens Up On Alleged Plan To Arrest And Kill Senator Dino Melaye


The Nigeria Police Force, on Wednesday, denied plans to arrest and kill Senator Dino Melaye.

A statement by Police spokesman, DCP Jimooh Moshood said a statement attributed to Senator Dino Melaye, captioned “IG plans to arrest me, inject me to death,” is false.

Moshood said: “The Force is categorically stating that the statement is mischievous, malicious, capable of misleading the public and laughable.”
He added that, “there was no such order from the Inspector General of Police or any plan by the Force to arrest Senator Dino Melaye and inject him to death.”

However, the Police said: “But if the Senator knows he had committed any crime or he is aware of his involvement in any crime, he should come out and confess and face the legal consequences instead of whipping up sentiments to distract the public.”

“The Force sees such defamatory, mischievous, malicious and reckless statement by Senator Dino Melaye as untrue, ridiculous, mischievous and unfortunate.”
Moshood added that: “Members of the public are hereby enjoined to disregard and discountenance the statement by Senator Dino Melaye in its entirety as untrue and mischievous.”

He also said Melaye should know that his statement constitute a criminal defamatory offence, hate speech and hateful conduct.
“He should however, as a law maker, be law abiding and desist from un-senatorial and lawless utterances that cannot be substantiated with facts.
“The Inspector General of Police will not be distracted by statements from the likes of Senator Dino Melaye but will continue to ensure that the rule of law prevails in all matters,” the police stated.

‘I’ve shed blood for Nigeria; till I die, Buhari will address me as ‘Sir’’ – Obasanjo


Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on Wednesday, said he’s qualified to criticise President Muhammadu Buhari, having presided over the affairs of the country and shed blood for the unity of the nation.

He said this at the 2018 Ibogun Day celebration, which attracted notable indigenes of Ogun State on Wednesday.

Also in attendance were: Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun, two gubernatorial candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Allied People’s Movement (APM), Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka and Hon. Adekunle Akinlade, respectively.

Obasanjo said that Buhari would have not won in 2015 election if not for his support.

According to him, “I know Buhari and he too knows me. Till the day I die, Buhari will continue to address me as ‘sir.’ In 2015, if I didn’t support Buhari, he wouldn’t have won the election.

“I have what it takes to correct him. Nigeria should not be in the position we are today. Nigeria can be better. God has given us all that we need.

“I am qualified to speak against Buhari. One, I have done it before. Two, I have shed my blood for this country. Even my biological son has shed his blood. Why can’t I speak about what is best for this country? I am doubly qualified to do that.”

EPL: Hazard speaks on Real Madrid move after 2-1 win over Watford


Chelsea star, Eden Hazard, has brushed off talk of an imminent move to Real Madrid, by insisting he wants to become a legend at Stamford Bridge.
Hazard netted his 100th goal for the Blues, in their 2-1 victory at Watford on Boxing Day.

The game was finely poised between the two London teams before Hazard burst clear, set on his way by Mateo Kovacic and he showed composure to round Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster to reach his century in a Chelsea shirt.
The Belgian scored his 101st from the penalty spot in the second half, ensuring Roberto Pereyra’s strike was just a consolation.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Hazard said: “(The 101 goals) mean a lot especially because we won today.

“One-hundred-and-one goals with this amazing club is something I will never forget!

“Now I think me, the fans and players want more. I want to score more goals for the club and want to be a legend like (Frank) Lampard, (Didier) Drogba and try to be my best.

“My target is to score goals and try to win the game. I try to do my best and today I did well.”

2019: APC speaks ahead of Buhari’s campaign flag-off in Akwa Ibom


The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom has promised that the launching of the South-South zonal campaign rally of its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, will be hitch-free.

Chairman of the Central Planning Committee for 2019 Campaign Flag-off, Mr. Umana Umana, told newsmen in Uyo on Wednesday that everything had been put in place for the flag off.

He said: “It is going to be a national APC event. We are expecting to host Mr. President in person, the Vice President in person, the national chairman of our party, the national leaders of our party and the national working committee, governors, ministers and members from all over Nigeria.

“So, indeed this rally will provide the foundation for the take-off of our presidential campaigns and we will be expecting the 30,000 Godswill Akpabio International Stadium to be filled to the brim.

“From the feedback we are getting from our members all over Akwa Ibom and all of the South-South states and from other states in Nigeria, we know that that the stadium is going to be filled to capacity.

“The good people of Akwa Ibom are very excited and enthusiastic and they are waiting to receive the President. Again, we are not surprised because the good people of Akwa Ibom have felt the impact of the good works undertaken by Mr. President.

“We have had occasion in the past to review the scorecard of Mr. President not just for all Nigerians but as it affects Akwa Ibom and that is why our members in the state are very excited.

“The good people of Akwa Ibom who are not even members of our party are also very enthusiastic about receiving the President and to thank him ahead of the election for what he has done for the state, the South-South zone and the people of Nigeria.

“So, attendance at this rally would also be a way of sending a message to Mr. President that we appreciate what he has done for our people in terms of the key strategic appointments which he has given to sons and daughters of Akwa Ibom, and clearly this is unprecedented”.

MINIMUM WAGE CRISIS: NLC, TUC threaten to boycott meeting slated for today

The Organised Labour has urged the Federal Government to stop playing to the gallery and accept the fact that there is no escape route other than to accept the N30,000 minimum wage recommended by the Minimum Wage Tripartite Committee, saying it will not attend today’s meeting called by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige.

According to leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, and the United Labour Congress of Nigeria, ULC, the only meeting labour could attend was to submit the N30,000 recommendation to President Muhammadu Buhari for onward transmission to the National Assembly for legislative action.

The Organised Labour insisted that any governor that did not have the ability to pay N30,000 minimum wage did not have the ability to govern, and should be ready to sacrifice his electoral fortunes in 2019.

Ngige had, in a statement by Prince Samuel Olowookere, Director (Press), Ministry of Labour and Employment, said today’s meeting “involving the Organized Labour, the Organized Private Sector and Government, scheduled for Sunday, November 4, 2018 at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation by 6:00 p.m, is still on course and will hold”.

This, according to Olowookere, will be followed tomorrow, Monday, by the meeting of the National Tripartite Minimum Wage Committee.

Speaking to Sunday Vanguard, yesterday, the President of ULC, Mr. Joe Ajaero, said: “We have resolved not to attend tomorrow’s meeting. In the first place, the meeting is for what purpose? The Tripartite Committee on Minimum Wage has finished its work since October 5, and recommended N30,000 as the new minimum wage. Again, what is behind the 6 pm timing of the meeting? After that, you are calling another meeting for 11 am the next day.

And the nationwide strike is commencing on Tuesday. The government is just playing to the gallery because they know what to do. There is an agreement, implement it and everything will be over. The same government has reportedly obtained a restraining order stopping Labour from going to court. Though as we speak, we have not been served, and we are hearing about it from the media, this is an old trick that will not work”.

Kogi govt still doesn’t know state’s wage bill despite two years of screening workers – NLC

The Kogi State Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Onuh Edoka, says it is unfortunate that the state government is still not sure of its actual monthly wage bill, after over two years of a screening exercise that is still ongoing.

Edoka, who spoke on Saturday, said, “the state government does not know what the state wage bill looks like and are not too sure of the activities of those preparing her wage bill, and now wants to use the table payment to ascertain the true figures.

” The Kogi state government is only using the table payment to investigate those preparing the salaries of workers, when it discovered that the wage bill couldn’t have gone up even after a tortuous screening exercise that brought hardship on the workers”.


Edoka said it is a common knowledge that salaries are no longer prepared by accountants in ministries and parastatals, but rather by the accountant-general and auditor-general, who pay from a single source from government house in Lokoja.

In his words, “It was clearly an argument of labour at the discussion table that the N2.8billion figures as monthly wage bill of government was on the high side after two years of screening that saw many people lose their jobs, with several others cleared and yet to be returned on the pay roll.

” While at the discussion table, labour engaged the government that what it inherited from the immediate past administration was N2.6billion as monthly wage bill. We expressed our reservations on why the wage bill would still be going up, yet with many workers no longer on the payroll.

“Labour never made suggestions for table payment but rather it only challenged the bogus wage bill of the state which it felt unrealistic.

” When we met at the discussion table, the government through it financial management team said they will pay three and four months salaries to core ministries and tertiary institutions respectively.

” We now asked what was the total implication of the amount they want to pay from the money received by the government. They now said the total amount to be paid was N9.7billion, with the state monthly wage bill standing at N2.8billion.

” We now told them that the monthly figure was outrageous most especially that it inherited N2.6billion from past administration. We wondered why the wage bill is this high when several persons have lost job, and others are still not on the payroll since the screening began over two years ago.”

The NLC chairman, however, urged those who are defrauding the state using the Kogi State wage bill, to have a rethink, warning that such practices was only joepadizing the future of Kogites and the people.

2019: Gov Okorocha blasts Oshiomhole, says Nwosu’s guber ambition not in APC chairman’s hands

The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has stated that the gubernatorial ambition of his former Chief of Staff and son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, is not in the hands of the All Progressives Congress, APC, national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.



The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has stated that the gubernatorial ambition of his former Chief of Staff and son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, is not in the hands of the All Progressives Congress, APC, national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.

The governor stated this while dismissing the statement credited to Oshiomhole that he was creating political dynasty in Imo state.

Okorocha, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo and forwarded to DAILY POST on Saturday night, vowed that the illegality being perpetrated by the APC national chairman and the electoral committee chairman, Ahmed Gulak, during the party’s just-concluded governorship primaries in Imo state would not go unchallenged.

The governor said, “With all that Adams Oshiomhole had said and done, he has only shown that he was the brain behind the film a man like Ahmed Gulak acted in Owerri as the leader of the 12-Member Committee sent to Conduct the APC Primaries in the State.

” It has also shown that disbanding Gulak’s Committee, Cancelling all that emanated from that Committee and setting up the Brigadier-General Ibrahim Agbabiaka Committee for the Conduct of fresh Primaries in the State were all deceitful. We will now work to know whether such deceit would destroy all that the duly and properly Constituted Agbabiaka’s Committee did.

“However, steps would be taken to prove that deceits do not pay. We won’t allow these deceits just go like that without having them challenged.”

He added that, “Comrade Oshiomhole in his efforts to justify all he has done, had accused Governor Rochas Okorocha of trying to build a Political dynasty. And the only reason he gave for coming up with such blackmail is that Governor Okorocha wants to go to the Senate and his in-law Uche Nwosu wants to be governor. He never explained how Okorocha being in the Senate and Nwosu being governor would Constitute a dynasty.

“We know the reason for all these. Time will tell. It has nothing to do with Uche Nwosu being an in-law to Governor Okorocha. Even the issue has equally put our democracy on trial, whether being an in-law to a governor should become an inhibition to one’s Political pursuit.

“Uche Nwosu will not allow his ambition cut shot by deceit. He will work to revalidate his Victory in all the APC guber Primaries Conducted in the state,” the governor said.

How To Register A Private School In Nigeria

School can be defined as institution which is made for the instruction of children or people under college age.
An institution for instruction in a skill or business: a secretarial school or a karate school.

What is private school and what makes it private?

Private school in this context is where teaching and learning takes place and the management of such school is managed by people outside government circle. This can take place in a public building like a hall or a private owned building. It is private because it is owned and managed by an individual owner. Formerly schools are owned by government and religious organizations. Schools which are  owned by the government is known and called government schools, as those owned by churches or religious groups are known and called missionary school. While those privately owned by individuals are called private schools.

The number one priority of every parent is to send their child or children to school to acquire knowledge from infant, and school fees for these children may take more than fifty (50%) percent of what parents are working for, depending on the number of children they have.

Nursery and Primary school business in Nigeria has become more profitable these days than ever before due to the number of children that are given birth to every day. With such increase in the number of children given birth to yearly — comes the need for more Nursery and Primary schools that will cater for them, and the need for even more will continue over time.

In those days, a single government or missionary owned primary school in a community would be  enough to cater for the children of the entire community or communities beyond. Then, there was no need for private nursery and primary schools. Today, the story has changed — no single primary or nursery school would be able to take care of the entire kids in a community, especially in urban places like Lagos and Abuja.

It has also become the general perception that the standard of education in privately owned and managed schools are higher compared to that of the ill-equipped and badly maintained government owned schools.

Sending children to public schools is equally regarded as evidence of being poor or poverty. Therefore, every parent struggle to send their children to any available private school and it does not matter if that one is even worse than the public school as long as it is called a ‘Private school’. These general trends have combine to make investment into nursery and primary school a worthwhile investment.

I have seen someone who only manage to feed few years ago become a millionaire through the small nursery and primary school he borrowed money to start.

Some of the lowest nursery and primary schools in areas like Abuja and Lagos charge more than N7,000 as school fees, while good ones charge from N30,000 to as much as N500,000 school fees per term (I pay N75,000 for my 3years old daughter per term) just to learn A.B.C

Imagine a school charge N10,000 per term and you have 200 pupil, the amount you’ll be getting from school fees is 10,000 x 200 = 2,000,000 Naira Two million naira) per term and it would not take more than a million Naira to run such school every term.

Now you can see that investment in Private Nursery and Primary school is a worthwhile investment that has decent profit returns. If you are ready to hit the ground and get started, there are the requirements:
Land/building in a good Area

Prices of landed property varies from place to place but you can get land in some developing areas of Abuja and Lagos for about N600,000 to N2,000,000. Do not opt to buy in isolated area where people are not living, no parent would want to patronize you in such area.

Due the inherent risk involved in child’s movement, parent will prefer a school that is within their home, for easy pick up of their children.

Minimum plot of land is what you need to be able to accommodate the school building and playground.

Note: Some people go for rented apartment — if you do not have enough money to buy land and build your own house, rent an apartment, and use it to raise money to build later
 
Erect your building

The cost of building depends on the size and quality of the building you want to construct. Your En  gineer will be able to put you through all these, sit down with him to discuss it properly.

Insist on good structure because, your marketing starts from there. The classrooms should be spacious at least.

Most Nursery and Primary school class rooms are used to small and jam-packed environment. Yours should not be like that. Water is very essential and you need plenty of it in your school, get borehole that will supply you water at all times.

 Equip your Classrooms

Apart from the normal chairs and tables (which you can get Carpenters to do for you at a very good price) you also need to equip your classrooms with other learning aids, parents will be happier to pay when they see that your classes are properly equipped.

You need plenty of materials that are used for children’s education and Montessori. You need markers and large boards in all the classrooms, depending on the class and the children’s age.

Employ qualified Teachers

If you are the proprietor of the nursery and primary school, you do not need any formal qualifications but if you are going to be the school manager you need the minimum of Barchelor Degree and experience in Management.

Your Teachers should have minimum of B.Sc and experience in teaching or play-work. Teachers who are jovial about children are preferred.

Register your School and Kickoff

Like every other businesses, you need to register your school as a company depending on what you want.
