This is nothing but abuse of power from some individuals. There should be limitations to one's spheres of influence, and on this note we like to inform the general public that our association is democratically constituted and we are not in support of price hike from Indian expatriates. </p><p></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>"The Indian expatriates need to know that prior to their arrival, we were operating within price-range that's considerably affordable. They introduced depth extension from 60-70 meters to 150-200 meters, and our locally made or indigenous fabricated machines can't go this far. On this note, they have pocketed us, and we want Gov. Seyi Makinde to intervene through several measures based on extended consultations to all parties. </p><p><br /></p><p>He also noted, "We implore the government to curb the excesses and monopolistic power of Indian expatriates. We equally call on the consultants of Oyo State government to be more transparent in respect to the money generated from the the masses through drilling permits. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also speaking, the Secretary-General of the Indigenous Borehole Drillers Association, Comrade Eyitayo Ojo said, " We are not happy with the state of things going on in the State. How can Engr. Olayinka, a consultant for the State government be using such position to impose and dictate without proper consultation with the stakeholders and members?Someone charged with responsibility of a consulting for the government is now parading himself as the Chairman without any election or nomination. He can't dictate to the three associations, and we want this administration to check and curb his excesses. </p><p><br /></p><p>"We kick against any act of dictatorship , especially from any government official. We are in support of the present administration and ready to work with the government. This dictatorial attitudes of Engr. Kolawole Olayinka, who was initially the Chairman of Rig Owners Association, and now the Drillers' Chairman by imposition won't be tolerated.</p><p><br /></p><p>"We support Omituntun 2.0 to the fullest, and we have mandated our members to be committed to their dues, that's permits. We have been paying these drilling permits as a bid for more revenue to be generated by the state government, and ready to keep supporting. </p><p><br /></p><p>"We want urgent government intervention by challenging this monolistic power or the introduction of uniform price control. This exploitative attitude has unreasonably inflated the prices, and we are not happy with the latest developments.

The challenges we face are multifaceted and require immediate intervention from the government to mitigate the adverse impact on our people.</p><p><br /></p><p>First and foremost, the economic conditions in our community have deteriorated significantly. Unemployment rates continue to rise, leaving many of our people without a means of sustaining themselves and their families. The high cost of living further exacerbates their plight, as essential goods and services have become increasingly unaffordable. Citizens are struggling to afford necessities such as food, housing, and healthcare, which has led to a decline in their overall well-being and quality of life.</p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, the security situation in our communities has become a cause for grave concern. Incidents of violent crimes, including robbery, kidnapping, and assaults, have instilled fear and anxiety among our citizens. The lack of effective law enforcement and security measures has left our communities vulnerable to lawlessness and has significantly impacted the safety and peace of mind of our people.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moreover, essential infrastructure and social services in our community are in dire need of improvement. Access to quality education, healthcare, and public utilities is often inadequate, further hindering the ability of our citizens to thrive and prosper.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Asiwaju coalition of Yoruba Youths implores the government to take immediate and decisive action to address these pressing issues. It is paramount that our community receives targeted support and intervention to relieve the hardships faced by our citizens.</p><p><br /></p><p>In light of the foregoing, we urge the government to undertake the following measures:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Implement robust economic stimulus programs to spur job creation and alleviate the financial burden on our citizens.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Strengthen law enforcement and security infrastructure to ensure the safety and protection of our communities.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Enhance access to essential services, including education, healthcare, and social support programs.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Initiate substantial investments in the development and maintenance of critical community infrastructure, including transportation, utilities, and public amenities.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Asiwaju coalition of Yoruba Youths is committed to collaborating with the government to implement lasting solutions that will uplift and empower our community. We stand ready to work alongside government officials in a spirit of cooperation and collective endeavor to bring about tangible improvements in the lives of our citizens.</p><p><br /></p><p>We implore the government to give urgent attention to these critical issues and take proactive steps to address the hardships facing the citizens. Together, we can build a brighter and more prosperous future for our community.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours faithfully,</p><p><br /></p><p>Ayinde Akorede Abduljaleel</p><p>(National Coordinator)</p><p>Asiwaju Coalition of Yoruba Youths</p><p>20th February, 2024.</p>ALLISAYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13495332804256254589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884466764520066864.post-22565793306505670862024-02-06T18:00:00.004+01:002024-02-06T22:44:23.371+01:00TWINS TOURISM SET TO STAGE IBADAN TRAVEL AND TOURISM EXPO 2024 <p><i>The Most Famous Twins in African Tourism and Initiators of Twins Tourism, Ambassadors Taiwo and Kehinde Oguntoye are set to stage the maiden edition of Ibadan Travel and Tourism Expo (ITTE) 2024 at the ancient city of Ibadan.</i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjftD-hbvSynj1PoH9ocHcvH58sZejyuZIQtvUUdOmMZhW9YeKbaOYyRnmPFfSpFuZtVCCes_T4Vt6BA38MWivVHHu1rF5Um4eL1xv72FNDHtXVzS8W740cZ61mQJdt2H_Ysz7wbyH7gYKqnQb3wUFGNZatdJTdgJfInxU7m2HZmr5Vmha32RXwuH4pgRY/s1080/Ibadan%20TWINS%20FestivaL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="TWINS TOURISM SET TO STAGE IBADAN TRAVEL AND TOURISM EXPO 2024" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjftD-hbvSynj1PoH9ocHcvH58sZejyuZIQtvUUdOmMZhW9YeKbaOYyRnmPFfSpFuZtVCCes_T4Vt6BA38MWivVHHu1rF5Um4eL1xv72FNDHtXVzS8W740cZ61mQJdt2H_Ysz7wbyH7gYKqnQb3wUFGNZatdJTdgJfInxU7m2HZmr5Vmha32RXwuH4pgRY/s16000/Ibadan%20TWINS%20FestivaL.jpg" title="TWINS TOURISM SET TO STAGE IBADAN TRAVEL AND TOURISM EXPO 2024" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The Ibadan Travel and Tourism Expo scheduled for April 22nd and 23rd 2024 will also feature as the 10 years anniversary of quality tourism broadcasting of their popular weekly travel and tourism magazine radio show known as “Travel with the Twins”.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the release by the Oguntoye Twin brothers, “ITTE 2024 is a 2-day international travel roadshow platform that aims to drive the sustainable tourism sector by bringing together buyers, consumers, airlines, travel techs, tourism/travel service providers, hospitality value chain, influencers and the media to review, network and discuss sustainable tourism development and trade in the travel industry.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><blockquote>The Ibadan born tourism twins which are the first twins in the world to be honored by the world busiest and most travelled international airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, USA further stated that “The Ibadan Travel and Tourism Expo is set to Unplugging the largest city in Sub-Sahara Africa for tourism kickstart and opening up the abundance of tourism opportunities to the untapped markets in Oyo State and South Western Nigeria for and to international and domestic buyers and sellers”.</blockquote><p></p><p><br /></p><p>ITTE 2024 with the theme “Tourism Kickstart: Maximizing Tourism Opportunities for Sustainable Development in Nigeria” is expected to welcome about 3000 attendees over two (2) days and will feature activities ranging from The Tourism Roundtable, The Premier Tourism Awards/ Dinner, 10 Years Anniversary of ‘Travel with the Twins’ Radio Show, Young Professional Forum, Fam City Tour among others.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oguntoye Twins however stated that “ITTE is privately driven with sponsorship and partnership options available in different categories with different negotiable costing as terms and conditions apply to all.

Plan Your Meals</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Strategic Meal Planning: Begin by planning your meals for the week. This helps you buy only what you need, reducing waste and impulsive purchases. Look for recipes that use similar ingredients to maximize the use of everything you buy.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>2. Embrace Whole Foods</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Go for Whole, Unprocessed Foods: Whole foods like grains, beans, and fresh produce are often cheaper than processed diet foods. They're cost-effective and healthier, offering more nutrients and fewer additives.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>3. Buy in Bulk</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Bulk Buying Benefits: <b><i><a href="http://Shapeshiftfitness.co.uk" target="_blank">Shapeshift Fitness</a></i></b> says Purchasing items like rice, beans, nuts, and seeds in bulk can save money in the long run. Store them properly to extend their shelf life.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>4. Seasonal and Local Shopping</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Opt for Seasonal Produce: Buying fruits and vegetables that are in season can significantly reduce costs. Additionally, shopping at local farmers' markets can often yield better deals on fresh produce.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>5.

The selfie camera is built around 32 MP, once again hidden inside the Magic Ring.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Hot 40 has a more modest 12nm Helio G88 chipset with a 2.0 GHz CPU a. RAM is 8 GB, while storage is 128 GB or 256 GB.</p><p><br /></p><p>Infinix Hot 40 is available in Blue, Gold, Black, and Green.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Infinix Hot 40i</b></h3><p>The Infinix Hot 40i is the most affordable phone in the series. It comes with a Unisoc T606 chipset with an octa-core CPU with two performance cores Cortex-A75 at 1.6 GHz, and six Cortex-A55 units for efficiency at 1.6 GHz. The GPU is Mali-G57 MC1 with 650 Hz frequency.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has a 6.56” LCD with HD+ resolution, alongside 90 Hz refresh rate and introduced a 180 Hz touch sampling rate. RAM is either 4 GB or 8 GB, while storage is 128 GB or 256 GB.</p><p><br /></p><p>The camera island of the Hot 40i looks similar to the Hot 40 and Hot 40 Pro and sports a 50 MP main and an AI cam. It comes with a 32 MP selfie shooter with the Magic Ring. The launcher is donwgraded to XOS 13.0, but it should still use Android 13 as a base.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another downgrade the phone took to keep a low price is the charging – the 5,000 mAh battery is limited to 18W speeds.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Infinix Hot 40i comes in Black, Blue, Gold, and Green.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Infinix Hot 40 Pro</h3><p>This smartphone is the mightiest of the trio with a 6nm Helio G99 chipset. The screen is a 6.78” LCD with Full HD+ resolution and supports up to 120 Hz refresh rate and 240 Hz touch sampling rate.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is only one RAM option for the Hot 40 Pro – 8 GB, while storage is either 128 GB or 256 GB.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Infinix Hot 40 Pro has the best main camera with a 108 MP sensor. Next to it on the back is a 2 MP macro shooter, and what is listed as an “AI cam”.</p><p><br /></p><p>The selfie shooter has a 32 MP sensor and is inside a punch hole, around which Infinix made a Magic Ring – a Dynamic Island-type notification zone. It gives information when the phone is unlocked, being charged or used during a call.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Xboost engine is an Infinix game launcher of sorts that enables “enhanced stability” during gameplay. It has three tiers for three different levels of immersion into the game played. The phone otherwise boots XOS 13.5, based on Android 13.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to Infinix, the Hot 40 Pro’s battery can charge from 20% to 75% in 35 minutes with the 33W charger supplied in the box. On top of that, the cell can withstand 1,600 charge cycles, which is over 4 years of plugging the phone every day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Infinix is offering the Hot 40 Pro in four colors – Palm Blue, Horizon Gold, Starlit Black, and Starfall Green.</p><p><br /></p><p>The company did not reveal pricing details for the new series. All it said is the lineup costs under $200 and prices will vary from market to market.</p><br />ALLISAYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13495332804256254589noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884466764520066864.post-51956742785566759512023-12-05T11:55:00.030+01:002024-03-03T17:52:03.964+01:00 Wonne Afronelly Seeks Justice Over Alleged Program Hijack by Rivers Government<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><i>Environmental advocate and convener of MyEnvironment, MyWealth, Wonne Afronelly, has demanded justice over the alleged hijacking of her 2018 World Wildlife Day program by the Rivers State Government. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; white-space-collapse: preserve;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlUN0eiH3ChTJ_E3-24mpGbz_21NnkTcmNIugb8E947x2LdjpRZkMX-mOZLW9q7Lid9zk9Fize_s_2EH6qdFLHrE35_JO3e_0gErEGa7tgJW9u_0jPS5Dc4eBol7x8Esjfkhrda5zYJlD6shHiiHUeS4f5wLAYxNCA63W-KOrpAJAMzYXufw3z6V9uv6c/s1022/Original%20Banner%20by%20Brand%20Manager%20MyEnvironment%20MyWealth.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Original Banner by Brand Manager MyEnvironment MyWealth" border="0" data-original-height="1022" data-original-width="720" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlUN0eiH3ChTJ_E3-24mpGbz_21NnkTcmNIugb8E947x2LdjpRZkMX-mOZLW9q7Lid9zk9Fize_s_2EH6qdFLHrE35_JO3e_0gErEGa7tgJW9u_0jPS5Dc4eBol7x8Esjfkhrda5zYJlD6shHiiHUeS4f5wLAYxNCA63W-KOrpAJAMzYXufw3z6V9uv6c/s16000/Original%20Banner%20by%20Brand%20Manager%20MyEnvironment%20MyWealth.jpg" title="Original Banner by Brand Manager MyEnvironment MyWealth" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Original Banner by Brand Manager MyEnvironment MyWealth</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /><i><br /></i></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She stated that her team originally conceptualized the program in line with the theme for United Nations World Wildlife Day 2018—"Big Cats: Predators under Threat," but the government reportedly took it over without proper acknowledgment or consent.</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-dab50ecb-7fff-67f0-373a-672a4d736e7a"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Wonne made this known while speaking to newsmen during a recent court hearing.

According to <b><i><a href="https://www.arise.tv/first-lady-remi-tinubu-flags-off-expanded-market-moni-scheme-for-1-5-million-nigerians/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Arise TV</a></i></b>, she said such support goes a long way in serving as lifeline to those struggling to make ends meet, while enhancing the overall well-being of individuals and families. </p><p><br /></p><p>The transformative impact that MSMEs can have on the lives of the vulnerable ones in our society, she explained, cannot be overemphasized, considering the fact that enterprises are the bedrock of our economy.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwAmdc71GebZORrZKdqD24tq-2XxkfJGdGZOLIy7k_d1MyMeBj1gg-by4ujrhDqjDY_rPPylttbm4xvZPmvZw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Mrs Tinubu said MSMEs play a crucial role in fostering inclusive growth and providing tangible benefits to those who need it most, especially women and persons with disability.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><blockquote><p>She added that small scale businesses provide a platform for economic empowerment of those with limited resources who can become self-reliant entrepreneurs when equipped with skills and a supportive environment.</p><p></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Her words: “It is in this regard, the rebranding of the three components of this programme is significant. Thus, Tradermoni (now rebranded Owo Oja or Olilanya Ndi Nagbambo or Tallafin Sana’a); Farmermoni (now rebranded Owoagbe or Olilanya Ndi Oru Ugbo or Tallafin Manoma); and Marketmoni (now rebranded Iyaloja or Nne Ahia or Agajin Yan Kasuwa). </p><p><br /></p><p>“These rebranding drums home, especially among the womenfolk including traders and farmers, a deeper understanding and actual implication of the programme in our native languages. </p><p><br /></p><p>“As I was informed that one of the strategic components of the Federal Government’s National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) is the Rebranded and Expanded Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), this Programme is expected to focus, among others, on offering interest and collateral-free loans to small scale entrepreneurs thereby providing financial inclusion and enabling individuals with limited resources to access much-needed capital for entrepreneurial endeavors. </p><p><br /></p><p>“This democratization of financial resources helps break down barriers and empowers the poor to participate actively in economic activities”.</p><p><br /></p><p>Expressing reservation about traditional loans from commercial banks, she said such loans often come with high interest rates and stringent requirement for collateral, making it challenging for those with limited assets to secure funds.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to her: “Eliminating these barriers, through Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) programs create a more accessible and supportive environment for individuals to start and expand their businesses.</p><p><br /></p><p>“Such financial support enhances the overall sustainability of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Small businesses often face cash flow challenges, and the absence of exorbitant interest rates ensures that entrepreneurs can invest profits back into their businesses, fostering growth and resilience. This, in turn, contributes to job creation and economic stability within communities.</p><p><br /></p><p>“My words of advice to those who might secure interest and collateral free loans through this Programme is that you should plan wisely, exercise financial discipline in managing the funds, invest strategically, be committed to repayment agreement, and be flexible to be able to navigate the dynamic business landscape.</p><p><br /></p><p>“It is on this note, I hereby flag-off the Renewed Hope Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Programme to the glory of God, and wish you all a successful participation in the scheme. May all those who participate in the scheme prosper in their various business ventures”, she said.</p><p><br /></p><p>Earlier in her speech, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, said the Market-Moni scheme targeted at one and a half million beneficiaries across various states in the country would cover all the 109 senatorial districts.</p><p><br /></p><p>She said one major market from each of the senatorial districts would be chosen, adding that each beneficiary would receive interest and collateral free loans of N50,000 after registration.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to her: “We are at a point to lift 50 million Nigerians out of poverty. They will be registered in the market. Their BVN will also be registered in the market….It is taking governance to the people.</p><p><br /></p><p>“As soon as they register, a loan of N50,000 will be given to them, to use it for their businesses. The target for this is 1.5 million Nigerians that will benefit. We have other programmes that are within that bracket. Some of them are special projects targeted at Nigerians. </p><p><br /></p><p>“I must say that Mr President is in a hurry to change Nigeria for better within the next one year. Other projects include the N-Power projects, the home-grown school feeding projects, the new special vehicle which is the End-Hunger project, by the Grace of God the President will be flagging that off next month, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>“Beyond this, we are going to also launch other projects that will help young people to get coding skills. We have several other projects.</p><p><br /></p><p>“There are several interventions. We are dealing with multi-dimensional poverty so that at the end, we would have a nation that is strong under God, that its citizens will beat their chest and say indeed I am proud to be a Nigerian, and the Renewed Hope has truly come”, she said.</p>ALLISAYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13495332804256254589noreply@blogger.com0
