       “The President’s concern for workers is not theoretical or rhetorical, but one borne out of experience, and respect for the sweat of the working classes, This is why we evolved mechanisms to bail out all the 36 states of the Federation, to the tune of N1.91Trillion so far including Paris Club repayments, in recognition of the shortfalls in their finances arising in particular from the oil shocks of 2015/2016. “We have extended this support regardless of party affiliation, to enable the States settle the backlog of arrears and salaries and pensions of workers. At the inauguration of the National Economic Council in 2015, President Buhari publicly declared that our administration will support every State, because poverty is no respecter of ethnic group, religion or party affiliation. “While we do recognize that payment of salaries and pensions is essential, we are also conscious of the fact that the increasing cost of living and the recognition to ensure a fair and decent livi

        As Nigeria approaches the polls in 2019, the political space in Taraba is charging up with the display of posters of aspirants. Besides, the myriad of security challenges in the State could affect the vote itself and will certainly be a big issue on the campaign trail. Hon. Abubakar Bawa, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, in this interview with our Reporter, bore his mind on these issues and more. As Special Adviser on Political Matters, what are the chances of Gov. Darius Ishaku in the 2019 General Elections? Bawa: Taraba State has recorded a lot of achievements during Gov. Ishaku’s administration and what people expect of any government is development which so far the Governor has achieved in Taraba state. Tarabans are ready to vote for him again and there is no two ways about that. The aspect I want to mention is that PDP as a party is working very fast to make sure that the name of our party remains indelible. In Taraba state, we ju

SHADES OF CHOCOLATE+MY COMPLETE SUNDAY.{PHOTOS}.

     Chocolate comes in different shades.We have white chocolate,light and very dark chocolate but generally chocolate is known as brown.According to research t he word   chocolate   entered the English language from   Spanish . [4]   How the word came into Spanish is less certain, and there are multiple competing explanations. Perhaps the most cited explanation is that "chocolate" comes from   Nahuatl , the language of the   Aztecs , from the word "chocolātl", which many sources derived from the Nahuatl word "xocolātl" made up from the words "xococ" meaning   sour   or   bitter , and "ātl" meaning water or refreshment. [4]   However, as   William Bright   noted [5]   the word "chocolatl" does not occur in central Mexican   colonial sources making this an unlikely derivation.   Santamaria [6]   gives a derivation from the   Yucatec Maya   word "chokol" meaning hot, and the Nahuatl "atl" meaning water.
