N145 Petrol Price: We’ll Occupy Nigeria Next Week – NANS

The Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, Thursday said the over 40 million Nigerian students would re-enact the Occupy Nigeria protest against the removal of subsidy from petroleum product next week.

The National President of NANs, Comrade Tijani Shehu, stated this in Abuja, at a protest rally where the association called for the removal of the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu. He said NANS is already mobilizing Nigerians students to resist the new N145 per litre pump price of the Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, otherwise called petrol.

FUEL5 According to him, “A directive has been issued to all tertiary institutions to shut down all campuses on Tuesday and Wednesday, next week. After that, they will all converge on Abuja for a mass protest.

”On behalf of NANS and the whole 40.1 million Nigeria students, we condemn the new fuel price and by Tuesday or Wednesday, the whole Nigeria student would occupy Nigeria. So the Federal Government should look into this before NANS mobilize the entire Nigeria students to occupy Nigeria”.

All Federal Universities To Pay The Same Fees - FG

The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, has said the Federal Government will harmonise tuition in all federal universities to stop arbitrary charge of fees by some university authorities.

Adamu, made this known while fielding questions on the News Agency of Nigeria Forum in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said, “Since the protests started, we have summoned the authorities of the universities and sat down with them and we are going to harmonise everything.

“Because, I think it is N45,000 that is the maximum that should be charged. I know in some places, there has been other arrangement.

“But the ministry would harmonise everything and I believe there will be no more protests over fees.”

The Universities of Lagos, Ibadan and Port Harcourt were recently shut down following students’ protests over increase in fees, lack of water and power supply on the campuses.

Adamu said that the Federal Government was discussing with management of the affected universities, adding that efforts were also ongoing to introduce harmonised fees for all federal universities.

Become A Rock Star With Jiji.ng

If you are interested in music, you probably know that the majority of the most famous musicians haven’t finished musical schools, and some of them never took classes for learning how to play. Nevertheless, they have created so much great music! It gives you hope, doesn’t it? Actually, a good musical instrument is sometimes all you need. It doesn’t matter what you’ve just thought about – a guitar, a piano, drums, keyboard, a violin, a trumpet – open Musical Instruments on Jiji.ng, and you will find even more than that.

If you haven’t used the website before, you’ll be curious about what Jiji is. Everything is simple: it is the best shopping spot in Nigeria. Jiji is a classifieds website, which remains something in between ordinary newspaper classifieds and usual market. The only difference is that now it all functions in the web space. Thanks to this, Jiji and all its ads are available all over the country. What is more, ads are posted only by real people, who can do it for free. This leads to another improvement: sellers don’t have to pay for a counter as on the market or for every printed line as in a newspaper. No wonder that the website is getting more and more popular.

One more thing that is probably going to pleasantly surprise you is that Jiji doesn’t sell anything personally. This website collects ad and offers from real people from all over the country and helps them to sell by creating proper conditions. It means users interests are our priority, not personal profit. That’s the reason you should think about whether Jiji is a shopping spot worth visiting or not. This is a service, which will help you to become a musician you want to be (or at least support you).

Federal Government Removes Petrol Subsidy

The Federal Government of Nigeria through the Ministry of State for Petroleum Affairs have removed subsidy on PMS in the Country. This was made known in a press release by the minister Ibe Kachichukwu. Petrol is now to sell for N145.

The last time the Federal Government tried to totally remove the subsidy was in 2012 and this was met by a strong resistance from the Nigerian Masses in what is known as one of the largest protests in Nigerian History and birthed the Occupy Nigeria Movement.  The protests eventually led to a partial removal of the subsidy.

The Beautiful Thing About Change - Pope Jay

The Political atmosphere of Nigeria was quite tense in the year 2015 courtesy of the rather delicate general elections and the improved reflection of the people’s decision in the electoral results. The All Progressives Congress, which was the party to beat, gained prominence as the party won a number of powerful seats across all levels in the country. I believe the APC’s ascendancy was partially as a result of the desperate need for an alternative to the rather “stale” People’s Democratic Party.
The Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, the then President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, had spent 6 years as President, not forgetting that the PDP itself had been the ruling party since the dawn of the new democratic dispensation in 1999. This in itself was enough reason for Nigerians to want to try any alternative considering the declining state of the country within that period. Then the All Progressive Congress came up with just what Nigerians sought: The Change Song. The party, which at the time had already started to gain some grounds in the South West courtesy of some of the works of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Babatunde Fashola (SAN) , Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola (In his first term as Governor) and some of its other party members, quickly adopted the change mantra and started to portray themselves not just as the Change Nigerians sought but also as the Change Nigeria needed.
Fast forward to a year later, it appears it is either the Change that APC about was not positive or the administration is yet to bring forth this change, as the situation of the Nigerian Economy has jumped from the frying pan to the fire that burns beneath. As expected, members of the Peoples Democratic party have started to come forth with the ‘’I told you so” face; blaming Nigerians for the choice she made in 2015 and claiming that her candidate would have done better. Maybe he would... maybe he wouldn’t have, that is for the witches in my village to know

However, I feel a lot of Nigerians miss a very important fact: The fact that the APC has adopted the slogan “change” does not mean they can not be changed. In fact, I feel now is the time to emphasize to everybody who claims to be an agent of change not to get too comfortable in any office he is holding until Nigerians are actually convinced that they are who they claim to be. I understand that the power of recall and impeachment are not as democratic as they should be in Nigeria yet but then again, you would be surprised at how fast four years can pass.
Some State Elections are already upon us and I would not be surprised if some of our “Agents of Change” are changed maybe then people would start to learn one of the most beautiful things about this change of a thing: Change is nobody’s Father’s Name!
