BREAKING NEWS: GOV. UDOM, DICKSON AND ORS, DECLARES WAR ON NEW NDDC MANAGEMENT BOARD

Governors of the oil-producing states have rejected the composition of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission and some appointments made into the NDDC by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The governors are Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (Ondo) Godwin Obaseki, (Edo), Emmanuel Udom (Akwa Ibom), Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa), Emeka Ihedioha (Imo) and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia).
The governors’ position was made known by Dickson after a meeting they held to review development pertaining to the NDDC in Abuja on Thursday.
Dickson, who spoke with the newsmen after the meeting said, “We are all unanimously of the view that we are concerned about the governance process of that very critical development agency. We are aware of the general dissatisfaction of the various states in the regions.
“We are also concerned about the way and manner the recent appointments have been made. Arising from all this, firstly we want to use this opportunity to call for calm in all our states following the recent announcement that we made.
“And accordingly, we have decided that as soon as it is convenient for Mr President, we intend to have an audience with him because we are critical stakeholders and the NDDC is a very critical developmental agency that is structured to partner, collaborate with the state governors who are critical partners.”
He said unfortunately, the oil-producing states had not seen much collaboration, adding that the governors would love to have an audience with President Buhari
Dickson added, “And as soon as his convenience permits to discuss in greater details, our views on some of this critical issues affecting the NDDC so that it will be repositioned for greater efficiency and then you have an effective governance mechanism, to carry on with their business. That is what we have met and agreed on.
“We want to end by calling for peace in all our states across the oil-producing states. We the governors are committed to meeting with the President to resolve these issues.”

LETTER TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS

LETTER TO YOUTH Keep your Degree in a safe custody for future opportunity, and engage in entrepreneur skills, otherwise you will die poor. Most of the educated people in Nigeria are poor. Majority of the educated earn less than N55,000 for a salary before tax and other deductions. When the deductions are put into consideration, the net salary comes to around N50,000. The net salary then suffers from loan deductions of up to N15,000 leaving the salary at around N35,000. The landlord then demands for his N15,000 and monthly shopping takes away N10,000 leaving one with a N10,000. The bus will demand for N300 going to and from work and relatives get another N2,500. The whole salary is gone and borrowed money starts operating. The borrowed money includes short loans and salary advances. The difference between poverty and prosperity is property. A prosperous person has property to his name while a poverty stricken person has no property to show. Using this understanding, therefore, m

Titanic II is happening, and we don't mean a sequel to the hit film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. We're talking about a brand new, very real ship from Australian company Blue Star Line which is set to sail on its maiden voyage in 2022. In fact to pay tribute to the original ship, Titanic II will be sailing on the same route as the liner, which famously sank back in 1912 after crashing into an iceberg during its maiden voyage between Southampton and New York City. Of course this replica will have much more up-to-date safety features and navigation technology - although it's inspired by the infamous liner, it will boast modern day amenities and features. However, there will be plenty of nods to Titanic itself, from the layout and interiors, with designs inspired by the iconic ship - including a near identical version of the ship's grand staircase. Titanic II is expected to carry approximately 2,400 passengers as well as
