Emir Sanusi To Buhari: Here's What To Do To Grow Economy

Against the backdrop of his comments on the Muhammadu Buhari administration last week, Emir of Kano and former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Sanusi Lamido has reacted again.

He said that until the Buhari administration eliminates subsidies, fixes the power sector and digitizes state land registries, the economy will remain in the doldrums.

In a document made available to an online media which he presented at the meetings of the Joint Planning Board (JPB) and National Council on Development Planning (NCDP), Sanusi highlighted the abuse of subsidies in Nigeria and the need to totally put an end to subsidy regimes.

He applauded Buhari for steps taken so far on subsidy, which has become visible in the consumption pattern in Nigeria today, many people now spend wisely.

OH DEAR! Ex-Female Banker Battling Kidney Failure Cries

*Needs N9m for transplant, lost job to health challenges
The fear of being snatched away from her beloved husband at any moment by the claws of death is an unpleasant and constant thought that is troubling 40-year-old Mercy Damisa, an ex-banker, as she bears the excruciating pains associated with kidney failure.

Bonded by fate at their home in Bukuru area of Jos city, Plateau State, Mercy and her husband, Paul Babayo Damisa, met at the University of Maiduguri, where they studied the same course, graduated same year, and were both orphaned early in life. 

Their blissful relationship blossomed into marriage, which took place in April 2010, at a parish of the Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), in Maiduguri, Borno State. But that seemed to be the end of happiness and joy for the once ebullient, tall and dark complexioned Kogi State-born woman.

In the course of her national service year (NYSC) in 2007, a medical doctor’s diagnosis at the University of Ife Teaching Hospital confirmed that she had hypertension, a medical condition that claimed the lives of her mother and father. The hypertension diagnosis was followed by a series of miscarriages. Then her kidneys failed, and put her life on a delicate balance.

*Bayelsa Government House accountant’s home raided by SARS over $4.6million
Operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Bayelsa on Wednesday, raided the private residence of the Bayelsa State Government House Accountant, Richard Etonye in a secret operation that lasted for about two hours.

Open Letter to Obey Ezekwesili: You Have Become Their Laughing Stock

by Chuks Ikedigwe 
Just like yesterday, I still remember vividly the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra who also doubles as the director of radio Biafra/Television, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu warning you during one of his broadcasts, when you started this your now famous or do I say infamous dance of shame called Bring Back our Girls (#BBOG).

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had unequivocally warned you then that you will definitely come back in shame if you continue with the shameful dance.

At the time of that timely warning from Nnamdi Kanu it seem so unlikely, infact impossible even in a million years because the ovation was at it loudest for you and your movement. You were the rave of the moment then. You were the activist per excellence. READ MORE

Buhari Tells Emir Sanusi & Others: "Advise Me In Writing"

Following blistering public remarks on his economic policies by the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido, President Muhammadu Buhari has requested top traditional rulers in the country to henceforth put their advice across to him in private written memos.

Buhari made the request through the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, who visited him at the Presidential Villa as follow up on a private memo he wrote to him on the state of the nation.


The Emir of Kano, who is the immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had on Wednesday used a public function in Kaduna to blast Buhari’s handling of the economy, particularly the unproductive subsidy on certain foreign exchange transactions.

Emerging from his meeting with the President, Oba Adeyemi told State House correspondents that the President invited him over on the strength of the advice contained in his written memo.

The revered monarch said “As a Nigerian and one of the topmost traditional rulers in the country, I sent a memorandum to the President which he acknowledged and asked me to come and endorse those things I have written.

“I think it was time for me to use the proper channel to reach the President for suggestions and advice. Where he deserves commendation, I should also do that especially as it concerns the multi-dimensional problems Nigeria is facing like the Avengers and bombing of oil installations, MEND and Boko Haram insurgency in the North East.”

According to the Alafin, “The President listened attentively and has asked me to pass the information to other traditional rulers in my domain to assist the government by giving advice because he is a good listener; but that such advice should be put in writing so that he can then relate it to the problems affecting Nigeria.”

He commended the President for acting swiftly to flush out criminal elements that wanted to extend militancy to Lagos and the rest of South-West.

Busola Idowu: The Lagos-Abuja Dichotomy

dreamstime_m_11683471Lagos people believe Lagos is the next best thing after sliced bread or maybe even New York. Abuja people disagree. Lagos is the centre of excellence. The city that never sleeps, always alive and constantly evolving. It is the commercial, social and economic nerve centre of Nigeria. Infact there is a saying that if you can make it in Lagos you can make it anywhere. The hustle and bustle which discourages non-Lagosians is the pull for Lagosians.
Growing up in Kaduna, Lagos was one fun place to visit and I looked forward to the yearly Christmas/Easter vacations down south.
For one, Gala was not sold anywhere outside the shores of Lagos until a few years ago, at least not in the north and I’m talking about the early/mid nineties.
