Some Ministers Won't Get Any Portfolio - BUHARI

President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that some ministers in his government will not get a portfolio because his government cannot afford to pay forty two ministers.

The president made the comment while speaking to journalists in New Delhi, India, during his recent visit to the country.
Buhari said that  Nigeria was “materially and morally vandalized”, adding that he will reduce the numbers of ministries in his cabinet.
He affirmed that he cannot work outside the Nigerian constitution and that ministers must be appointed in conformity with the constitution of the federal government, hence his appointment from the 36 states of the country.

He said: ”We can0not work outside constitution; there must be a cabinet representative from each state. There used to be forty two ministers but I think we can barely keep half of that now because we cannot afford it.
”Others may not be substantive ministers but they will seat in the cabinet because that is what the constitution said and we can’t operate outside the constitution
”We are reducing the number of ministries we can’t afford to pay.”
Reacting to the controversy that characterised the nomination of the former governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi, in the Senate, the president said he did not walk into the presidency alone therefore he cannot work alone.
”This is team work. I said I know people but there are people that I accept from other people in our team that I trust without even knowing them.
”Maybe those that are having problem in the National Assembly I doubt if I have meet him in my life but then I am working with others.
”I did not walk into the presidency alone. I have to depend on all the three tiers of government from all part of the country,” the president said.

The president has since departed India and arrived in Nigeria after his four-day official visit to the country. Buhari departed Abuja on Tuesday, October 27, for New Dehli.

UNICEF Identifies Kaduna As Model In Eradicating HIV/AIDS In Nigeria

OFFICIALS of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) have identified Kaduna State as one of the leading states for the implementation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s vision of ending HIV/AIDS in Nigeria by 2020.
Chief, Children and HIV/AIDS Programme of UNICEF in Nigeria, Dr. Dorothy Mbori-Ngacha, disclosed this in Kaduna during a press briefing at the end of her three-day visit to Kaduna.
According to her, “UNICEF works with Kaduna State in a number of areas. We work with the state in the area of preventing new cases of HIV/AIDS in children for Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV/AIDS and Kaduna has been doing well. It is one of the states in the Nation that is doing well in the PMTCT, HIV programme.”
Mbori-Ngacha added: “Really, as a result of the performance up to date, Kaduna has been earmarked as one of the fast-track states. Remember that recently, President Buhari was in New York and he spoke to the world and said he wants to see the end on AIDS in Nigeria by 2020. So, Kaduna State has been selected as fast-track to begin the implementation of that vision.
“Another area is the treatment of children. We know that adults are getting good treatment when they have HIV. Unfortunately, children are lagging behind and this is a sad scenario. It is like adults are eating and children staying hungry”.
She further explained that UNICEF’s target is to ensure that in the next three to five years, 90 per cent of all children living with HIV are receiving treatment in the state”.

Barca boss won’t risk Messi for Clasico

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has said he won’t put Lionel Messi’s health or Barca’s season at risk by rushing the Argentine back for his side’s clash against Real Madrid on November 21.
Messi has been sidelined for a month by a knee ligament injury that was originally estimated would keep him our for six to eight weeks.

However, the four-time World Player of the Year cast doubt on his presence for the trip to the Bernabeu last week by claiming he would only return when he feels 100 percent fit.
Messi has been left out by former Barca boss Gerardo Martino for Argentina’s World Cup qualifiers against Brazil and Colombia on November 13 and 17 respectively.

And Enrique insisted that with two thirds of the season still to play after El Clasico, it would be reckless to risk Messi suffering another serious injury.
“Within the team the only thing we are contemplating is that Leo Messi recovers 100 percent. That is the only thing that worries us,” Enrique said on Friday.
“Whether that is for one particular date or another is indifferent. There is so much of the season to go that the most important thing is that he fully recovers.”

Enrique was handed an injury boost on Friday, though, as midfielders Andres Iniesta and Sergi Roberto have both been passed fit to face Getafe on Sunday.
Iniesta has been sidelined for a month since pulling up with a hamstring injury in a 2-1 win over Bayern Leverkusen, whilst the versatile Roberto returns after just 10 days out due to a groin strain.

Their return comes at the perfect time for the European champions with Enrique’s midfield options reduced to the bare bones by Rafinha’s long-term knee injury and Javier Mascherano’s suspension for Barca’s next two league games.

The play was turned into a script by writers (and brothers) Julius and Philip Epstein and their friend Howard Koch. In the story, American Rick Blaine is the owner of a gambling club “Rick’s Cafe Americain” in the Moroccan city of Casablanca. Set during World War II, Rick is a bitter man having been scorned by ex-lover Ilsa Lund. When she walks back into his life suddenly, now married, with her husband in tow, Rick is forced to come face-to-face with well-aged heartache.

A romantic comedy by William Shakespeare, this play takes place in Athens as Duke Theseus plans a large festival around his marriage. During this time, Theseus’ daughter, Hermia, is refusing to marry her fiancé. Due to a true-love-in-the-wings named Lysander. Against her father’s wishes, she flees the nuptials for the woods. And guess who? While there, they befriend fairies who cause a bit of mischief. Cue a new love triangle and surprise ending!

While married to aristocratic Tonya, he falls in love with nurse Lara. Set during a war time, Zhivago’s love triangle falls prey to a twist of fate, and becomes a tale of protagonist versus an achy, breaking heart.

8. Dangerous Liaisons: Les Liaisons dangereuses is a novel composed of letters.
The classic eighteenth-century novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos is the ultimate dark tale of lust, greed, deception and romance, featuring the Marquise de Merteuil, who requests that her partner, the Vicomte de Valmont, seduce the young daughter of her cousin. Meanwhile, young Cecile has the hots for her teacher, Chevalier Danceny. Love affairs, deception and lies aplenty unfold.
Fun Fact: The 1999 cult movie hit Cruel Intentions was a modern adaptation of the novel Dangerous Liaisons.

Named a “catch” by all the single ladies in town (due to surprise . . . his looks and money), Darcy is also known as snob. Neighbor Elizabeth Bennet finds herself repulsed by Darcy’s ego. The resulting pas de deux between the feisty twosome makes for a quite a page-turner.
Fun Fact: Helen Fielding’s book Bridget Jones’s Diary was inspired by Pride and Prejudice.

BVN: House Of Reps summons Emefiele

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Godwin Emefiele has been summoned by the House of Representatives committee on banking and currency.

The committee demanded the presence of the apex bank boss to explain to it why there is a directive by the CBN for Nigerians to disclose their Bank Verification Number (BVN) to every Bureau de Change operator upon transaction.

The resolution by the lower house  followed a motion sponsored by Hon. Dan- buram Nuhu, entitled “motion against proliferation of Bank Verification Numbers” raised as an urgent matter of public importance.

According to Nuhu, the CBN’s move to stabilise foreign exchange market by making it compulsory for all Bureau de Change to have the BVN of all customers in the bid to stem money laundering will make financial records easily accessible to fraudulent people.
He said: ” All customers desiring foreign exchange through any channel would be forced to give their BVN to those with whom they are doing transactions (with).
”In this era of internet fraud, this will endanger our people’s hard earned money and cause even more problems than it was meant to solve.”
The lower chamber adopted Nuhu’s motion after it was put to a voice vote and was presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Yusuff Lasun.
The house then mandated its committee on telecommunications to investigate the extent of compliance by all telecommunication companies oper­ating in the country.

Meanwhile, the apex bank governor, has stated that
the CBN won’t devalue the country’s currency again. The CBN governor stated this today, October 30, while speaking to state house correspondents at the presidential villa, Aso Rock, Abuja.
Emefiele, had earlier given a hint that he will consider easing restrictions on currency trading if demand for foreign exchange drops further.

Unpaid Salaries: NFF Set To Sack Siasia

Indications are rife that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have concluded on sacking U-23s head coach Samson Siasia.

According to Complete Sports, a source at the headquarters of the NFF disclosed that the NFF’s senior management are upset over Siasia’s recent outburst in the media over the non-payment of salaries.

Siasia’s move has miffed the NFF top executives, who are already toying with the idea of restructuring the Super Eagles coaching crew, which would see Salisu Yussuf deployed as U-23 Eagles head coach with Fatai Amao and Ogunbote as his assistants.
Meanwhile, Siasia has been ordered to respond to the query issued to him to explaining why he should not be punished for his actions.

The NFF officials were said to be irritated on the grounds that Siasia and other national team coaches were given reasons why their salaries were being delayed and assured that their salaries will be sorted soon.

The football body’s cash flow has been hampered by the new rule which states that the country’s soccer governing body must run only one revenue account.

A source said: “Siasia is facing the sack except there is a divine intervention because the NFF is serious angry with him for going on air to spread the dirty linen in public.
“He is not the only coach we are owing. Amuneke and Salisu Abubakar too are still being owed and these people have not gone to the press to make such claims.
“We explained to them the cause of this problem and then appealed to the coaches to be patient only for Siasia to go to the press.”

It will be recalled that on Thursday, October 28, Siasia had said he should not be held responsible should Nigeria fail to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Brazil.

Reasons To Not Go Into Business With Friends/Family

Running a business is something that requires a lot of care and attention. You need to make sure that people you go into business with have the same drive and commitment as you do, to achieve similar goals and objectives.
Working with friends and family can be very difficult. It’s completely understandable that you cut costs by staffing from within your support group, but it can be highly detrimental. Due to the bond that you share with them, they may gradually turn the work environment into a safe house.

At this point, they find it easier to take advantage of the business relationship because they know that their emotions and feelings must always be considered before making business decisions.

Your verdicts end up being biased based on a friendship/ relationship you want to preserve. At this stage, it turns into a risky game because the relationship prohibits potential avenues for growth and progress of your business.
You may honestly never know the true intentions of those with whom you go into business, until you’re faced with challenges and obstacles during the lifespan of that business. Friends, family or even strangers can turn their back on you at any point in time.

It hurts the most when you are involved in such a negative situation between yourself and a loved one. Keep on reading down below to find out  Reasons To Not Go Into Business With Friends/ Family.

1. Your decisions are easily influenced by friends/family
When you’re going into business with a friend/ family member, you must always consider what is beneficial for “both of you”.
You can’t solely make a decision based on what you feel/know is right for your business because you must first evaluate how it will affect both sides. He/she will not always agree with you and this difference in opinion will delay the decision making process.

2. Friends/family can slack at any given time
If your friend/ family member notices that you invest a lot of time and energy into the joint business, they will have no problem letting you carry the burden of the workload.
In every team, there is always one person who does the most grunt work. He/ she is known for picking up the slack when others are falling behind because they refuse to sacrifice the business due to their partner’s lack of effort.

3. You may end up being at a loss
When working with a friend/ family member, you’re focused on satisfying both of your needs. You can end up not achieving your main monetary goals and may not be able to live up to your full potential.
During the process of working together with a friend/ family member, you may not be able to fully express your point of view because of how much you consider your partner’s feelings.
You may have to put aside certain ideas and suggestions that are beneficial for the business. Ultimately, this can hinder the growth of your business.

4. Friends/family can be highly untrustworthy
Friends and family can be the most unreliable people to ever go into business with. This is due to hatred, desire for personal gain, and the built-up jealousy some people harbor against loved ones.
We witness situations like this daily on television shows and in reality where friends/ family members are extremely disloyal to one another. Someone who you trusted with your whole life one day can be the person to stab you in your back the next.

5. The blame factor
In any business, there are always ups and downs. People try to avoid making mistakes, but we fail to realize at times that certain setbacks can be beneficial in strengthening a business.
Challenges help determine if a business is able to overcome struggles and hardships at various points in time with a clear strategic plan of action.

When working with a friend/ family member in such times, there will always be a bit of animosity built up on each side. If a business fails, accepting defeat is the hardest challenge. Money makes people do crazy things.
