Knificent.blogspot.com
Federal, states and local governments on Thursday shared N714.8 billion revenue generated in July, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

The figure indicated a decline of N107.1 billion when compared to what was generated in June.

The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, while briefing newsmen in Abuja on the outcome of the monthly Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting, highlighted several factors that impacted negatively on the month’s income.

“Crude oil exports sales volume was 3.74 million barrels showing an increase of 0.17 million barrels when compared with the previous month sales of 3.57 million barrels.

“Despite the improved revenue, production was negatively affected in the period by shut-ins and shut-down at various terminals for repairs and maintenance of ageing facilities.

“The value Added Tax (VAT), import duty, Companies Income Tax (CIT) and Oil Royalty decreased, while Petroleum Profit Tax recorded an increase,” she said.

Adeosun, giving a breakdown of the revenue generated, said that N376.14 billion was generated as mineral revenue, while N221.8 billion came from non-mineral resources.

To this end, the minister said that Federal Government received N269.8 billion, states N136.85 billion and local government N105.5 billion.

She said that N44.96 billion was also shared among the oil producing states, representing 13 per cent of the oil revenue generated in the month of July.

Adeosun said the equivalent of N25 million was transferred into the Excess Crude Account (ECA), adding that the balance in the ECA account was 2.31 billion dollars.

The minister also gave an update on the review of the revenue reporting template between the NNPC and the FAAC as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

She announced that the reporting template would be ready before the next FAAC meeting in September.

It will be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the review of the revenue reporting template between the NNPC and the FAAC as a lasting solution for the frequent disagreements between the two parties over revenue collections.

Tips To Prevent Snakes From Entering Your Car - Car Talk

Knificent.blogspot.com

I know what you are thinking, “why would snakes want to come near my car if its not sent by my village people” ��.
Snakes, would end up in any part of your car, either because you carelessly left the door or window open, or because they need heat.
Snakes and most reptiles are cold blooded animals, they can’t regulate their internal temperature, so they always seek for heat sources, to “recharge” themselves, mostly for activities like digestion.

Enough of the biology class, lets shift back to safety tips to prevent snakes from entering your car.

1. Always park your car far away from bushes
2. Keep your windows and doors, including your bonnet and boot closed at all times
3. When driving and you see a snake ahead of you, avoid it if you can, because the tyres can roll it up and it might find its way into the engine, or inside the car.
4. If you are going to park your car for a long time, make sure you cover it properly,in a cool and shaded place.
5. If you have a broken head or tail light, fix it!

If you find a snake in your car, make sure you get people who are brave or experienced enough to remove it, except of course you are sure you can handle it yourself.

The only snake I want to see in or on a car is the Shelby GT500 Super Snake logo � .

Kindly don’t forget to share.

Saraki's Declaration: Senate President Clears The Air On Not Too Young To Run - Politics

Knificent.blogspot.com

STILL ON THE SARAKI DECLARATION 
Our attention has been drawn to a statement issued by the NOT TOO YOUNG TO RUN MOVEMENT on Dr. Saraki's announcement of his presidential ambition at the event organised by the group in Abuja on Thursday. 
We wish to clarify that the group had no prior knowledge of the declaration and therefore had nothing to do with it. 
Dr. Saraki was invited to give the keynote speech at the group's dialogue series. In the course of the speech and while discussing the situation in the country, he mentioned that this was why he wants to contest for the President in order to lead the process of addressing some of the issues he had highlighted. 
We wish to note that Dr. Saraki's intention to contest for the President is no longer a secret as he had hinted at his interest in an earlier interview with Bloomberg. 
The Not Too Young to Run Dialogue session was therefore not organised for this purpose. 

SIGNED

Christina Milan and boyfriend M.Pokora's California home burglarized twice in four days 

American singer/actress, Christina Milan and her famous French boyfriend, Matt Pokora are the latest celebrities to be targeted by burglars as their California home got burglarized twice in four days.

According to TMZ, the couple's San Fernando Valley home was burglarized Tuesday night after crooks made their way in at around 10 PM.

Law enforcement sources say the burglars made their way into the home through the side door. The break-in triggered the alarm, but by the time Police arrived the perpetrators had already escaped.

The authorities are yet to confirm how much loot the burglars got as Christina and Matt are still out of the country.

The latest break-in comes as Police continue to investigate the burglary at the very same house on Friday afternoon, where  $100k worth of jewelry and watches were stolen.

Yesterday, Senator Dino Melaye was part of Bukola Saraki's delegation to visit former president, Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja.

Its a known fact that the controversial senator was arrested numerous times during the Jonathan administration. Melaye in an interview once said, 'whatever I do is my business but I will never do anything illegal. I was arrested last year alone by Jonathan’s administration 14 times'.

But everything seems good now...

Youths Asked Me To Run For 2019 Presidency – Saraki - Politics

Knificent.blogspot.com

BUKOLA Saraki, Senate President, on Thursday, officially declared his intention to vie for the top office in the land.

Mr Saraki made his intention known two weeks after he debunked a report that he was interested in the job.

With recent political visitations across the country one is not surprised by the stunt pulled by the Senate President.

Stating the reason for his aspiration, Saraki said the youths of the country urged him to run for the presidency.

“I have decided to answer the call of teeming youth who have asked me to run for President,” Saraki said while delivering a keynote address at a dialogue for youths and young aspirants in Abuja on Thursday.

“Accordingly, I hereby announce my intention to run for the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he added.

Saraki listed several challenges which he believes have clogged the wheels of progress in the nation.


He highlighted extreme poverty, hunger, lack of education and mass unemployment as some of the things that have paved way for more crime and insecurity in the nation, adding that it is now time for Nigerians to rebuild the nation with new leadership.

With the lawmaker’s declaration, he has joined the long growing list of aspirants jostling for the top office in the land under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).

He will have to slug it out with former vice president, Atiku Abubakar; former caretaker chairman of PDP, Ahmed Makarfi; Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso; Sule Lamido, a two-time governor of Jigawa State; Ibrahim Dankwambo, a two-time governor of Gombe State and governor Aminu Tambuwal, who is believed to be nursing the ambition but yet to make his intention known.
