PRESIDENT JONATHAN MAY STOP THE INRODUCTION OF THE NEW N5,000 NOTE

In a meeting between President Goodluck Jonathan, the President of the Senate, David Mark, and Tambuwal on Tuesday night at the Aso Rock villa, the President discussed the opposition of the National Assembly to the planned introduction of the N5000 note by the Central Bank of Nigeria. The  two leaders of the National Assembly explained to Jonathan why the proposed N5000 note was not necessary adding that they had a constitutional responsibility to protect the wishes of Nigerians, whose suffering would be worsened by the N5000 denomination.

There are indications that Jonathan will direct the Governor of the CBN, Mr. Lamido Sanusi, to stop the proposed policy, having heard the position of the National Assembly.

REPS WANT N7M INCREASE IN ALLOWANCES

Barely 24 hours after resuming from a two-month recess, members of the House of Representatives are asking for a N7m increase in their quarterly allowances. Each member of the House currently enjoys  N27m per quarter in allowances but the lawmakers  want the sum jerked up to N35m.

Some of the lawmakers, in seeking an  increased allowance, at the closed door session on Wednesday raised questions of financial impropriety against the leadership of the House.
They reportedly questioned how the   “N5m” budgeted for each member’s medical expenses and insurance was utilized by the House.

N27m in  allowances alone? Not yearly o, quarterly.

HOW DO YOU COPE WITH A WIFE WHO EARNS MORE THAN YOU?

I saw this in a magazine and would like to know what you guys think of it, 'cos I know there are men out there who are in this shoes and would like to be advised on how to deal with it;

Does your wife earn more than you? Do you feel like you need to get another job? Does she get home later than you do? Did she buy the cars at home and pay for the children’s school fees? Do you sometimes wish you could just have her resign her work and just stay at home taking care of the kids? A lot of men find themselves in your shoes and share similar reservations. While it’s typical to think this way, how should you then deal with it?
Or do you think you should make up for it by being at home on time, going through home work with his kids, making sure dinner is ready for your wife and patiently waiting for her every night till she is back, believing that if you can’t meet with the financial needs, then you should compensate in other areas of family life?

Someone once told me of a female friend who is richer than her husband. When her husband travels, she buys expensive gifts for the kids and around the house, and hides them when he gets back because he forbids her from buying what he can't afford to buy. She is of the opinion that she can't live like a poor woman when she can afford the finer things in life. It is like a secret between her and the kids.

This should be interesting. Over to the guys.

MAPOLY EXPELS 14 STUDENTS OVER VIOLENT DEMONSTRATION

14 students have been expelled from Moshood Abiola Polytechnic following the violence that occurred on Tuesday during the Students' Union Government election. Protesting students allegedly destroyed school property while protesting against alleged interference in the SUG election by the MAPOLY  authorities.

 A statement by the school's  Public Relations Officer, Sulaimon Adebiyi read in part, “The management of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta has proscribed the Students’ Union of the polytechnic.
“This development became imperative following the disruption of the students’ union election on September 18, 2012 on the campus of the polytechnic, which led to the cancellation of the election by the Students’ Union Electoral Commission,  which was endorsed by the management.

The school authorities have advised the expelled students to steer clear off the polytechnic.
