JAPAN DONATE SOLAR POWER TO NIGERIA TO BOOST ELECTRICITY IN THE COUNTRY

The Japanese Government, through
its agency, Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA), has
donated solar power worth $9.7
million to the Federal Government to
boost electricity in the country. The
Ambassador of Japan to Nigeria, Mr
Sadanobu Kusaoke, disclosed this in
Abuja on Tuesday during the
inauguration of the project.
Kusaoke stated that Japan considered
the power sector as one of the most
important areas to enhance
Nigeria`s socio-economic
development. “Since from 1970s,
Japan has helped to finance power
sector to increase the capacity of
power in Kainji dam hydro power
station. “This is the 10th project of
power sector by the Japan`s
Government since then and this will
not be our last. “
He said the project which entailed
the introduction of clean energy by
solar electricity was donated by the
government of Japan to boost power
and water supply at Usman Dam
Water Treatment Plant. “The project
is being executed with grant
assistance worth Nine Hundred and
Eighty Million Japanese YEN
(980,000,000 JPY) (equivalent to
approximately 9.7 million USD)
through JICA, “ he said.
According to Kusaoke, stable power
supply is crucial to support industry
and to improve economy and the
lives of people. The Ambassador
emphasised the importance of stable
power supply to Nigeria`s quest to
diversify her economy.
He commended the designer of the
project, Toyota Tsusho Corporation,
for its design, management and the
completion of the project on
schedule. Kusaoke, who explained
that the project was capable of
generating 1,496MWH, added that
this would result in reduction of
N31.5 million per year for payment
of the electricity bill.
Earlier, Mr Hirotaka Nakamura,
Chief Representative of JICA, Nigeria
office, said improving core
infrastructure including power
sector in Nigeria was one of the
priority areas of the agency in
Nigeria. According to Nakamura,
developing alternative energy
resources such as solar, wind and
hydropower will boost electricity in
the country.
He explained that the project was
designed to introduce a
demonstration unit of solar
electricity generation system with a
view to increasing its economic
strength on a sustainable basis.
According to the JICA official, with
the Japanese assistance, about 1.2
mw of grid connected solar
generation will be gained at Usman
Dam Water Treatment Plant to
supplement electricity supply from
the national grid.
“Following successful tests on the
installed solar system, the first phase
of the project with generation
capacity of 975kwp is being
commissioned today. “The second
phase will bring additional 207kwp
generation to this system hopefully
in January 2017. “
Nakamura further stated that the
project would contribute to the
improvement of quality water supply
in the Federal Capital Territory. He,
therefore, appealed to the FCT
administration through its water
board to handle the project with care
and also provide sufficient funds to
maintain the generation system.
In his remark, Alhaji Hudu Bello, the
Director, FCT Water Board, who
expressed gratitude to the
government of Japan and its agency
JICA, said the project would improve
revenue accruable from the water
sector in the FCT. “This is elaborate
project that will improve water
supply to the residents of Abuja; it
will also reduce the rate at which we
consume diesel to pump water, “ he
said.
Bello said the project would reduce
the cost of generating electricity and
also contribute power to the national
grid to improve supply within the
nation`s capital

GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION ON THE RESCUE OF EDUCATIONAL SECTOR IN NIGERIA

he Nigerian public primary and secondary schools used to be very efficient, with a very high bar of quality, but not anymore. A lot of Nigerian professionals and technocrats went to Barewa College, Kaduna; Government College, Umuahia; Kings College, Lagos; etc. where there were prime emphases on learning, knowledge and quality education. Where are the likes of such great secondary schools today?

 Decades ago, public primary schools were the best, with standard and free education. It is not so anymore. What happened? The public primary schools all over the country are almost all dead. A parent is seen as a joker if they take a son or a daughter to a public primary school, because there is nothing like sound education in most of them again. The public primary schools are now for the poor that cannot send their children to the privately run ones. The country, in the last two decades, has seen the flagging off of a lot of privately run primary schools, all with enormous tuition, and most of them with low qualified teachers. Parents in most of the Nigerian cities, pay between $500 to more than $1,000 in most of these privately run primary schools, to give their children first-class education. But the very truth remains that they can never get the sort of excellent education that I got in my primary school as most of these privately owned schools

Today, that is the order of the day. WASSCE, NECO, General Certificate Examination (GCE) and Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) question-papers all leak, nights and hours before the exams. How can a country grow, when most young Nigerians in secondary schools do not read again, and depend on question-paper leaks to pass exams? Who leaks these question-papers? How is it that these question-papers leak every year, especially since the 2000s and the government and authorities know, and not a single thing is being done about it? There are some terrible things that were unimaginable a long time, but have become regular fixtures in the country today. Most Nigerian secondary school children do not read again for examinations to get entrance in the universities. Very bad. Very sad. The special centres are all there, where the worst type of examination malpractices happen; under the nose of the police; local, state, and federal government authorities, and not a single thing is being done about it. What is the Ministry of Education doing about these question-paper leaks? I do not know. What is West African Examinations Council (WAEC) doing about these question-papers leak? I do not know. What is JAMB doing also about them? I do not know. How could such be happening in the country, and the government is quiet? I do not know.
The damage of the Nigerian Education sector is widespread, deep and terrible. Privately run secondary schools are everywhere, as the public ones, are dying pretty fast. They charge enormous tuitions, and most of them are actually the centres for most of these widespread examination malpractices during Junior and Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations. It beats the imagination how they obtain the license to operate, as many of them lack qualified teachers and facilities. A poor Nigerian cannot rely on the public secondary schools for any form of fantabulous education anymore, unlike before.

Also, the systematic damage of public universities has led to the flag off of a lot of private universities. Nigeria has a lot of private universities, more than other developing countries. Some of them, just acquire plots of land, decorate the proposed entrance; build a big gate, with the university’s name, boldly painted, construct one or two buildings, and start operating; while the rest of the land is covered with bushes. How were they accredited to run most programs, with low qualified lecturers and very terrible facilities? Private universities are supposed to raise the bar of quality education but they never did so in most cases in Nigeria. Rather, they lower this bar, and raise the cost of university education. They teach nothing in most cases. The truth remains that the same structural damages in the public universities are still being recycled in the private ones. The private ones borrow the same age-old curriculum of the public ones; and, then, hire mostly retired professors, and younger unqualified lecturers, for cheaper pays; as the main goal of any private enterprise is to make profit. Most of these private universities lack lecturers and had to bribe Nigerian Universities Commission team during their supervision for accreditation and all that. They also, in most cases, take students that could not meet the minimum standards set by public universities in JAMB and WASSCE, by giving them express admission for any course of study, once the students have cash. I am really shaking my head for the kind of graduates that many of these private universities produce every year.

It is that bad. And the question remains: “What is the Nigerian government doing about the poor standard of education in Nigerian education institutions? What have our Ministers of Education since 1999 been doing about this? Why is everyone silent about the question-papers leak of WASSCE, NECO, GCE and JAMB? What happened to the foremost public universities of the country? And how can the public primary and secondary schools be revamped? How can Nigerian Education Sector be revamped? What is the government doing about this currently? How can poor Nigerians that do not have money to send their children to private primary and secondary schools, or to private universities in the country, or to universities abroad, give their children quality education? What is the future of a country, wherhe Nigerian public primary and secondary schools used to be very efficient, with a very high bar of quality, but not anymore.

Daystar Peterson (conceived July 27, 1992), better known by his stage name Tory Lanez, is a Canadian hip bounce recording craftsman. He got real acknowledgment from the mixtape Lost Cause (2014) and the single, "Say It". In 2015, Tory Lanez marked to Mad Love Records and Interscope Records. "Let's assume It" crested at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. Lanez discharged his presentation studio collection, I Told You on August 19, 2016.

TRY THIS

"Luv" catches up "Say It," and by the hints of it, it'll be generally as fruitful as "Say It" if not all the more so- - "Say It" effectively commanded wireless transmissions (likely still is), and this one has the same amount of pop request while as yet staying in a r'n'b path - Tory keeps on investigating that side of his multi-faceted ability, albeit one can dare to dream there's still a solid dosage of #BARS-Tory on I TOLD YOU

THE EKO IDUMOTA STRUGGLE

THE EKO IDUMOTA STRUGGLE

I don't know why it took me so long to realise this but I went to the popular Eko/Idumota with my shugalee (mum) on Saturday: Take this advice from me though,’never follow your mum to the market’.I spent the entire day in the market, walking to and fro, tired, angry and hungry. I was so irritated: people pushed me with dirty hands, stepped on me and they were so lousy , lacked courtesy, etc.. I WAS IRRITATED!!!!.We got to a particular place where my mum wanted to get souvenirs and then I sat down because it was like i was going to faint plus I felt I had like 500ltrs of germs on me.While she was checking out what they had in the store, i don’t know but in my irritation, my eyes suddenly opened, my sight became clearer and my ears were so sharp they could hear the conversations of people miles away. I sat and then saw how people struggled just to make a living. I saw people ready to kill themselves just because of “ordinary 20naira ” difference. Two things touched me that day though
THE FIRST: I saw women who would carry heavy neck breaking loads on their heads for people (alabaru) for just 200naira and those who owned the load were acting like bosses. Like the so called Alabaru were camels or dogs.One of the alabaru’s suddenly walked up to where I was and said sadly “I haven't carried any load today, who did I offend God”. I was in so much pity that I almost cried.
THE SECOND:I saw a pregnant woman who looked like she would give birth anytime soon, working like ..I can’t even explain it but I really pitied her and her unborn child. She was struggling in PAINS and then I thought I’ve been ungrateful for all I have.
I remembered I would get pissed at my parents for not getting me super expensive things or for not driving me to school or for giving me rice without biiiggg meat or for not allowing me use expensive phones and so many other stupid reasons I cant even remember.
They would cook at home, and I would throw the food away simply because its not what I asked for but yet people were eating from the floor
My mum will buy clothes for me and I’ll reject it but people wore rags, some even wear the same cloth for 7days(wash and wear)
You even need to see where they eat or sell…dirty environments with gutters blocked and smelling like…………………..and I have a comfortable dinning!
I was like there are people here who don't have up to a quarter of what I have and yet I complain that God is unfair..then felt that I really need to be slapped!!!!
Honestly I used to be a CEO when it comes to complaining but ever since then I’ve been really grateful. I can afford to buy cold stone ice cream and Domino pizza or even get some expensive wears and shoes and still complain that its not enough but yet this people have to sweat real hard before they get ordinary 20naira just to buy one wrap of amala! JESUS!!!!.
Things like these are happening and then there are some people on social media fighting over age, mansions, sexual accusations, brand names, girlfriends that are not even worth it,blabla and so many others like that.
The most anoying thing is we devaluate the human person alot.Just because people don't have what we have, we look down on them forgetting that its not by their own making and it is the same God that gives that also Takes!
I write this with much pain to see people suffer this much just for daily bread and I’ll be angry because they didn't get me kfc chicken! I felt ashamed!
Oh Lord This is me “yormee’’ saying “I know I’ve been too spoilt and ungrateful pls have mercy on me and help me to give to the needy.Help us also not to devaluate the human person. Change the status of the needy oh LORD.Finally Lord, help those self centred people to see what I’ve seen and let them CHANGE!!!

Landowner Set To Kick Wizkid Out Of His Rented Lekki House, Served Quit Notice

Evidently Wizkid is not exactly the Lagos landowner that we thought he was. LIB reports that the pop star was presented with a quit notice from his Lekki stage 1 home yesterday April first.

As indicated by LIB, the "Pakurumo" crooner's removal notification was gotten by his 'reps', his rent is said to have terminated since January this year.

 Wizkid moved into the duplex in 2013 in the wake of separating with EME and everybody trusted he had purchased the house, an idea which the pop star did

nothing to remedy. Several days back the vocalist posted a few pictures of himself in an enormous Atlanta manor which additionally {mis}led individuals into trusting it was his property.

Maybe he is at long last moving into his own particular home, as his kin are said to be moving his things from the house as of now. Never the less he has been given till the eleventh of this current month to empty the living arrangement
