11/05/2024

Gov. Sim Fubara has directed the heads of personnel of all the 23 LGAs in Rivers state to give him the comprehensive list and details of all workers in their various LGAs.

All Audited local government staffs of the various LGAs that are verifiable.

The Governor is to begin payment of salaries directly from the State to their various accounts.

This is in respect to the violation of his order to the LGA Chairmen not to appear before the defunct HoA members led by Martins.

Gov. Sim is set to render the current LGA chairmen loyal to Wike useless. As no money would be given to them either for project, or payment of salaries.

The state government will pay workers directly at the end of every month.

JUST IN: " A Woman That Has Sense Will Understand That She Is a Servant To Her Husband " = Marriage counselor and people's role model Jane.

A woman with the right self esteem, self awareness and confidence understands that she is a servant to her husband.

That woman understands that when she comes in, the man should be doing ten thousand.

It takes a highly intellectual, wealthy, smart and courageous woman to understand her place in the life of her man.

Queen Vhasti thought she had equal right with the king and she was dethroned immediately.

But Esther who understood she was a servant to the king, used her serving power to get the king to do her bidding.

Jesus said let the greatest among you, serve you.

Only a great woman understands that the greatest reward is in service.

But let me shock you, every woman knows this, that’s why you see them serve their boss in the office, serve their pastor and serve the rich men around them but once it gets to their husbands they say they are equal.

The only place they have a say is in the life of a weak man, never you be a weak man, if she can’t serve, throw her out.

Jesus told the woman who poured the perfume on his leg and used her hair to wipe it, that where ever the gospel is preached, her act of kindness will be talked about, that act was a service and the person who rendered it is referred to as a servant.

They leave their hostels, houses, dreams and jump into a yahoo boys car, stay in the hotel servicing him, but once they get married they will claim they can’t serve a man.

Looks like English, is the issue with modern day women.

Update:

Jubilation erupts in the streets as Prince Harry and Meghan arrive Nigeria for a 3-day visit

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have arrived in Nigeria for their 72-hour tour to promote the Invictus Games

They arrived on Friday after boarding the British Airways overnight flight to Abuja which was slightly delayed after the scheduled pilot went sick, and a replacement had to be quickly arranged.

Some Nigerian officials met them on arrival, just before 5 am, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. Afterward, they were taken out of a side door onto the jetty, and into a waiting blacked-out minibus.
“They will be tired after their journey, so they will rest and then the first engagement is at midday at the Defence Headquarters,” defence spokesperson Brigadier General Tukur Gusau told the Daily Mail.

“After that, they will travel to Kaduna to meet wounded soldiers at a military hospital there before returning to Abuja for other engagements.”

The visit primarily to promote the Invictus Games comes after Harry met the Nigerian team and the Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Musa at last year’s competition in Dusseldorf, Germany. It was there that he told the audience Meghan was ‘rooting for Team Nigeria’, after discovering she had heritage from the West African nation.

Harry and Meghan are visiting Nigeria at the invitation of General Musa. The couple is due to visit a school before the duke meets injured service members at a military hospital.

They will also attend a training session for the charity organisation Nigeria: Unconquered which collaborates with the Invictus Games, as well as a reception where military families will be honoured.

Nigerian Senate Commences Investigation into Mining Abuses

By Samuel Udoma

ABUJA - The Nigerian Senate, yesterday, began its Investigative Hearing into abuses in the nation's mining industry. The 3-day hearing was declared opened by the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, at the National Assembly Complex, Abuja.

Declaring the session open, Senator Akpabio noted that the hearing will facilitate a 'comprehensive review of Nigeria's mining industry, driven by the spirit of inquiry and the desire for economic diversification'.

Senator Akpabio commended the Committee on Solid Minerals for organizing the session and tasked all participating stakeholders to actively engage in the deliberations of the hearing. He said that recommendations from the exercise will help 'shape the future of the mining industry and propel the economy towards new horizons'.

Earlier in his opening remarks, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Solid Minerals, Senator Ekong Sampson welcomed all to the hearing and identified the mining sector as a key driver of economic diversification, foreign exchange earnings and social inclusion.

Senator Sampson highlighted that the hearing was necessitated following a mandate by the Senate for the Committee to among other things, 'investigate the immediate and remote causes of the dwindling revenue derivable from the solid minerals development in the country, review activities of policy administrators, policy executors and industry players at the policy formulation, policy ex*****on; and downstream, midstream and upstream operations of the solid minerals sector'.

Others were to 'ascertain the extent and impact of illegal Mining activities and the extent of complicity of both local and expatriate industry players, as well as review all the Bureau of Public Enterprise privatization and commercialization of all mining and mineral resources related programs from 1999 - till date'.

Senator Sampson bemoaned the country's huge loss in revenue accruing from the solid minerals sector, due to the nefarious activities of illegal miners and other forms of socioeconomic sabotage and abuse within the industry.

He likened the Nigerian minerals sector inadequacies to the famed King Solomon's Mines by Rider Haggard. Sampson analogized that the search for the nation's treasure troves has 'thrown up dimensions in the broader need for diversification, and in the lingering but unacceptable puzzle of our want in the midst of abundance'. The Senate Committee Chair sued for collaborative effort to help tackle the menace.

Sampson charged the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake to ensure due prosecution of all those who have been apprehended over illegal mining activities, to serve as deterrent to other intending sector abusers. He said that the investigative hearing offers yet another opportunity for the Senate to compare notes with industry players on progress made so far in the sector.

Speakers at the hearing including the Solid Minerals Minister, Alake, President, Nigeria Miners Association, Mr. Dele Ayankele, Comptroller-General of Customs, represented by ACG H. Waziri, Comptroller-General of Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, represented by ACG Aliyu Bature, among others, promised to collaborate with the Senate Committee to help reposition the sector. The hearing continues today at the National Assembly, from 2pm.

World Press Freedom Day: COPBSMI Celebrates Journalists, Urges Government and Security Agencies To Collaborate with The Press

It was George Orwell, the American Writer who propounded that, "Freedom of the Press, if it means anything at all, means the freedom to criticize and oppose," by Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, "everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes the freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."

It is on this premise that the Coalition of Online Publishers, Bloggers, and Social Media Influencers, COPBSMI, joins institutions, corporate organizations, government agencies, and individuals, across the globe to celebrate this year's World Press Freedom Day with the theme: A Press for the Planet: Journalism in the Face of the environment crisis.

As a foremost organization of online publishers, bloggers, content creators, web developers, and digital marketers, we place much premium on the role played by Journalists in deepening Nigeria's democracy hence, they deserve to be protected against unwarranted attacks, especially in high-security prone areas.

While charging Journalists to uphold ethical conduct with a high level of professionalism in discharging their responsibilities, we urge Government and Security Agencies to collaborate with the Press for good governance to thrive.

We also call on all Nigerians irrespective of political party affiliation, religion, or ethnic leanings, to lend their support and give maximum cooperation to Journalists without unnecessary interference.

I HAVE MADE PEACE WITH THE MINISTER OF FCT, AND FORMER GOVERNOR OF RIVERS STATE

Be yourself and let others be themselves.
I believe that the APC in Rivers state will benefit from the process of peaceful reunification, and reintegration.

I have made Peace with the Hon Minister of the FCT, and fomer Governor of Rivers state. I accompanied him to Chief Tony Okocha’s thanksgiving to show that my commitment to end the rifts in our party is total.

I want to publicly thank the Minister, he could have behaved like other politicians_made peace with me, and still encourage me, Tony and others to continue fighting (You bring Magnus in the morning through one door, then bring Tony in the evening through the other door). But his style is direct, truthful and sincere, and it will create a united team.

The disagreements within is over and done for good, because the oxygen for conflict has been extinguished.

It may take a little while but the end result is that all those with us, who sincerely wish us well will go with us and tow the path of unity because we all know that it is the right way to go.

Let me also thank Chief Okocha, of course he knew I was coming, and he received me well.

My home is in the APC. Let us come together. Everyone will benefit from us working together.

When it is time we will speak.
For now make I dey my dey.
Let us focus on the economy.
God bless u all.
