Osinbajo told a Russian delegation which visited him at the State House, Abuja, that “we are just six hours away from Europe by air.

Osinbajo noted that although foreign exchange was a major constraint, it was more reasonable to produce locally, rather than continue to import, with its significant pressure on dwindling foreign earnings of the country. He said “oil prices have gone down tremendously and yet large amount of foreign exchange is used to purchase food

U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel US Federal judge, Gonzalo Curiel on Thursday in San Diego, California, largely sided with plaintiffs in the class-action lawsuit against President-elect Donald Trump over the defunct Trump University. The case is scheduled to go to trial later this month and Trump is expected to testify in his own defence against allegations that Trump University for-profit business seminars were a hoax and hundreds of individuals were charged large sums of money for courses that were essentially worthless. Curiel ruled against Trump’s legal team seeking to ban testimony relating to Trump’s conduct during the presidential campaign. Curiel also ruled against Trump’s request to ban testimony about Trump University’s “F” rating by the Better Business Bureau and the fact that it has since gone bankrupt. He also denied a request by Trump’s lawyers to ban discussion of the financial condition of students, many of whom described themselves as poor, and what impact the

Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church a.k.a. Winners Chapel In writing this article I’ve been advised to tread carefully so I do not tread on the toes of certain powerful ‘Men 0f God’. Naturally I would be scared of a true ‘Man of God’ but not a charlatan. Disregarding whatever potential threat there are I will present the truth as I see fit. It is the readers right to discern between right and wrong. In recent times a lot of so called ‘Men of God’ have been side-tracking their primary duties in favour of chasing after things of a material nature. A ‘Man of God’ is supposed to be a representative, and servant, of God in this world. Such a person would have given up everything to devote his or her entire life to the worship of God. There can be no room for things of a material nature – money, business, etc – to distract them from praying, meditating and teaching the word of God. It is one of the reasons that the Catholic Church insists its priest remain unmarried and with no

Peter Obi Not everyone can govern a state, let alone have the courage to go against the existing norms to show frugality and resourcefulness in managing the affairs of a state, putting key projects and systems in place as well as leaving quiet a handful resources for one’s successor. With the realities of recession starring in our faces, I believe there are key personal financial lessons we can abstract both directly and indirectly from former Anambra governor Peter Obi’s speech at the Platform, a program organized by Covenant Christian Centre. He did show an ingenious understanding of money and it’s nature. Here are few of such lessons; you can always add yours; ◾It is foolish to allow your expected expenditure exceeds your expected revenue, except capital expenditure far exceeds recurrent expenditure for the period concern. ◾Borrowing can sometimes be cool, what you are borrowing for is what counts. ◾Spend for growth; in other words, have systems in place that increases your n

Victorious Donald Trump savouring victory in the US Presidential Election Mr Ude Ikeotuonye, an Abuja-based Architect says he is optimistic the U. S., system of government will keep the President-elect, Donald Trump in check. Ikeotuonye said in Abuja on Thursday that he had mixed feelings about the antics that Trump would bring to the oval office. According to him, however, there are mixed feelings for me about the antics that Trump may want to bring to office, but I am comforted by the fact that the American system is strong enough to keep him in check. Against all odds and expectations, Trump emerged as the 45th President-elect of the U.S. “In a few months, he will occupy the most coveted seat in the world, the office of the President of the most powerful nation in the world. “His victory is predicated on two things, first is the fact that he is not part of the establishment that core politicians represent. “An establishment that people all over the world are tired of; they

According to him, empowering their members would enable them employ more hands thereby reducing redundancy and idleness among the teeming unemployed youths. He said the business had created wealth and job opportunities for many other people in areas where the local tanners were operating. ‘’When we want to produce bags or wallets, we use some chemicals to ge

Governor-Ifeanyi-Okowa of Delta State Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta has urged the Federal Government to dredge the Warri Port for a better draft to allow bigger vessels to berth. The governor made the plea in Asaba, Delta, while receiving the Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Ms Hadiiza Usman, in his office. “Bigger vessels have not been coming to the port (Warri Port) because of the shallow draft. “We pray that the dredging would be done during your tenure. Warri Port is very key when we talk about the size of the market. “When that port becomes more functional, most traders in the East will use the port, and it will lessen the cost of transportation and goods will be cheaper. “ When that port is functional, in less than one and half hours, you can move from Warri to Onitsha,’’ the governor said. He described port development as a way of creating more jobs, especially now that youths were looking for what to do to avoid militancy. Okowa said the state govern
