Favouritism’s Nigeria’s biggest problem
Based on the interview with daily independent newspaper... he answered the following question that he was asked...
You recently emerged the governorship candidate of your party, the United Progressive Party (UPP), for the state – what new thing are you offering?
I have carefully and meticulously studied our state and I have toured all the 27 LGAs of the state and I have discovered their peculiar problems one after the other and I am armed with efficacious and result-oriented solutions to tackle their problems. I have a 4-cardinal programme which I will apply to remedy these problems and which will positively touch the lives of the people. These are effective and sustainable qualitative education, health care delivery services, industrialization and pragmatic waste management for all the LGAs in the state. There will be fruitful and functional libraries, skill acquisition centres to train and to nurture the teeming unemployed graduates in various vocations for them to become self employed and creators of jobs for others so as to drastically reduce their dependence on white kola jobs. In the health sector, my government will ensure the provision of affordable healthcare delivery services for our people as I said earlier while decent, good and conducive environment would be installed to contain the spread of some infectious diseases among the people. I will equally build sate light towns with modern facilities and by this, a reasonable percentage of our people will be spared from deadly diseases.

Nigerians kick, as Dangote reneges on cement price
In a move that has confounded industry watchers, distributors,
developers and buyers have kicked against the new price of Dangote
Cement, as the firm has silently increased the price of its product to
N2, 200 per 50kg bag instead of the N1, 000 that it announced on
November 3, 2014.
Although the company did not formally announce any increase in price, Daily Independent gathered that it sent out text messages to its distributors on Monday, December 15, 2014, informing them of the new price.
A text message allegedly sent on behalf of the company by one “Bukky, Dangote Cement” to the distributors reads: “Dear customer, kindly note these changes in price: Ibese (delivered) – N1, 745, Ibese (self-collected) – N1, 645 (five trucks and above); N1, 655 (below five trucks), Isolo – N1, 700 (five trucks and above); N1, 710 (below five trucks). The changes are effective today, December 15, 2014. Thanks for your patronage.”
On November 3, 2014, Dangote had slashed the price of cement by 40 per cent.
The new price regime announced by the Group Managing Director of Dangote Cement, Devakumar Edwin, said the company has pegged the Dangote 32.5 cement grade at N1,000 per 50kg bag, while the higher 42.5 grade is to sell for N1,150 per bag.

Nigeria’s future gloomy under Jonathan -Balarabe says
A
former Governor of Kaduna State and leader of the Conference of
Nigerian Political Parties, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, said on Saturday that
the future of Nigeria under the President Goodluck Jonathan-led
government is gloomy.
The former governor noted that the way the country was being governed showed that Jonathan was incapable of running the affairs of Nigeria, arguing that even the president’s sympathisers had come to terms with the reality.
Musa, who claimed that neither the All Progressives Congress nor the Peoples Democratic Party could produce the president in 2015, said his party, the Peoples Redemption Party, though deregistered by INEC, had gone into merger with other political parties to form the next government.

5 Qualities OF A First Class Student
Are you a student in a university or higher institution or an aspirant?
If yes, then this is for you. Remember when you first got into school,
your first aspiration was to graduate from the university with a first
class. Then, especially for those that have been in school for quite a
while, the aspiration seemed to change with time after the first year.
Compromise sets in and you began to settle for less than your initial goal. Very few people leave school with the degree they had wanted to acquire initially. I must tell you that the ‘first class’ in in your hands and not in the hands of your lecturers.
You choose the grades you want by the decisions you make and the actions you take. Your lecturers only give you the grades you choose. Below are five qualities that you must cultivate if you must become a first class student:

Onigbinde writes Keshi, asks him to quit Eagles
A former coach of Nigeria, Adegboye
Onigbinde, has disclosed that he has personally written to
out-of-contract Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, to quietly seek a job
elsewhere.
Onigbinde spoke with a Nigerian online news portal SuperSport.com.
Of late the calls have been deafening
mostly from former Nigerian managers for the erstwhile Mali and Togo
coach to leave the Eagles job after he failed to qualify the country for
the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in a dismal fashion. The latest calls
for Keshi to quite have come from Christian Chukwu, Shaibu Amodu, and
Kashimawo Laloko, among others.
Onigbinde said he would not like to be
seen repeating himself on Keshi and Eagles’ job as he has specifically
asked him then to politely thank the president for considering him
worthy for recall and bow out honourably.
Onigbinde said, “On the very day the
Presidency asked him to return to his job I personally sent him a text
message to politely thank Mr President for the offer and bow out
honourably and quietly, too.
“Keshi respectfully replied the text
message thanking me and that was it as he went ahead with the two
remaining 2015 AFCON qualifying matches against Congo and South Africa,
I’m sure the rest is history.
“I volunteered the advice to Keshi
because I understand that he won’t work with the Presidency but a
different set of people as well as an entirely different environment.
After Borno abductions, military steps up aerial, ground patrols
Following the reported abduction of 185 women by the members of the
Boko Haram insurgents in Gumsuri, a community north of Chibok, the
military has deployed ground forces and air force helicopter gunships to
patrol the area.
Reports had claimed that the insurgents, who attacked Gumsiri, killed 32 men and abducted no fewer than 185 women and children last Sunday.
However, a statement on the Defence Headquarters blog on Friday, stated that the military had not been able to verify the reported abductions by the insurgents although the statement confirmed that some people were killed.
It was stated that the Military High Command was still probing the claim of abductions.
It was further stated that the military had intensified aerial and ground patrols in the area.
The statement added that normalcy had been restored to the area as some of the villagers, who fled the area, had started returning to their homes.

How to Recognise Serious Students on Campus(A Must Read)
All that glitters is not gold. Similarly, a popular Igbo proverb says
that because all lizards lie on their stomach, you will never know the
one(s) that have running stomach. I wonder if lizards do have running
stomach but that’s just by the way.
What’s my point?
OK. There are so many students in schools but then, there are students and there are students.
It could also be hard as well as confusing to identify those who are really qualified to bear honorable status of student i.e. those who are really the serious and those who aren’t.
What spurred me into this direction?
Just the other day, I was chatting with a very worried parent whose child seem to be unable to graduate from the university 3 years after the normal duration of his 5 year course.
I was alarmed because I immediately knew why this parent was going through…for the past three years, maybe.
