Last week, I had to buy dollar and I had to pay N400 for one dollar and you can imagine, if you want to spend $10,000 to import farming equipment, that means I’m looking for N4 million. And only some years ago, my N2.00 was equivalent to $3.00. Two naira in 1986 when I was Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University was equivalent to three dollars but today, my two naira cannot buy even one cent. We have really destroyed the economy buy adopting policies that are injurious to the economy of Nigeria and some of these policies were imposed on us by the IMF and the World Bank and it is the IMF and the World Bank policies that we are still operating.

Coming back to APC, they have a different style of leadership, you are allowed to express yourself without getting into trouble. I have not been in APC for too long but I can tell you I am a happier person. It is a party that rewards hardwork, you don’t have to know a god father to get anything. I am going to be here for a long time.

This is absolutely correct considering the rapidly growing population of most African countries. Nigeria, for instance, was a strong agricultural produce exporting country prior to the oil boom era, with very strong export volumes and value in produce like cocoa and rubber. You very well know that the first palm kernel seed planted in Malaysia was taken from Nigeria, and that country today is one of the world’s largest exporters of palm oil. Agricultural funding is gradually increasing via various funding initiatives and I will touch on this as I go on.

In Delta, we have much to look back on and great cause to give glory to God for how far we have come as a state. A quick look into history points to the fact that this state has been a major contributor to the success of the Nigerian project, a status of glory that can never be denied us. Delta State is unique for its contribution to the overall success of the Nigerian project.

Comrade Timi Oluba, is an Ijaw youth leader from Gbaramatu kingdom in Warri South local government area of Delta State.

So these two things that would have done with e-registration would have brought membership to the party, it would have guaranteed financial independence to the party. The third thing, I tried to do for the party was to bring back internal democracy. When we went to Jos we had about seven presidential aspirants and by the end of the primaries when they saw transparency, they conceded victory to General Obasanjo and all of them went with him round the country to campaign because they accepted defeat seeing that everything was transparent.

Anenih is not a traditional ruler and as such he was advised not to dabble into matters concerning the traditional institution. My being the first Vice chairman is by the blessing of the traditional rulers in the state after Esan traditional rulers have nominated me. So it is not Anenih’s making. He should not drag us into politics and he should mind his business. The 29 traditional rulers that endorsed Godwin Obaseki of the APC in Esan land have already reaffirmed their decision and it is irrevocable. We did that because we have never had it so good in Edo state until Oshiomhole’s APC came.

PRICESELY 25 years after the splitting of the defunct Bendel State into Delta and Edo states, foremost rights activist, Chief Mrs. Rita Lori-Ogbebor, goes down memory lane to reveal what could perhaps pass as high-powered intrigues that marked the process. Nudged, by an earlier report on the matter where it was said that the late Oba of Benin prevented the Itsekiri from being in the same state with the Benin, she provided an exhaustive account of the issues surrounding the restructuring of the defunct Bendel State.

The global markets have been flung onto a chaotic rollercoaster ride in 2016 as the ongoing concerns over slowing global growth, depressed oil prices and persistent Brexit uncertainties have weighed heavily on investor sentiment. Stock markets started the year pressured, but have been surging higher on hopes of potential stimulus measures while risk aversion continues to keep Gold buoyed.

The day he was caught was a Monday. I had travelled to Lagos. The reverend sent all his children on errand—asked one to give a letter to me and encouraged his wife to go and study in a school and he had sex with the landlord’s wife.

I think my experiences; I have had very unique and different experiences. The way I grew up, I grew up obsessed with music, movies and cartoons as a kid. I spent my time just visualising stories, I would get these stories in my head all the time, till now I still get stories and melodies in my head.’

I wonder how they would know what the leader’s problem is and until he tells them his problems, they will not help him to solve it. This is why in fact I always tell people that Buhari should contact and consult more people.
