The result of the General Household Panel Survey conducted by the NBS in collaboration with the World Bank Living Standard Measurement Study Group indicated that each household in Nigeria spends an average of N20,874 on recharge cards, N14,620 on food N33, 373 on house rent, N13,860 on petrol, N7,748 and N6,660 on kerosene on a monthly basis.
Using the data as a basis to calculate for the entire country showed that on average monthly, Nigerians spend about N449.73 billion on recharge cards, N399.65 on food, N143.3 billion on kerosene, and N149.17 billion on house rent.
The data also showed that Nigerians hardly use mortgages facilities to pay for their homes, but rather purchase houses directly. According to the data, the amount spent to service mortgages was the least of the expenditure profile of the average Nigerian family with an average of N3.09 billon used monthly as against the monthly estimate of N149.17 billion spent on payment of house rents monthly.
According to the NBS, 5000 households were selected from the NBS’ annual general household database (cross-sectional covering the six geo-political zones) and surveyed to generate the data released in the GHS Panel report for 2012/2013.
Though the data above indicates average expenditure patterns by per household in Nigeria, it was enlarged to cover the entire population in the country.
The NBS estimates that the average Nigerian family had 5.7 people per household. Using a population of 170 million as at year end 2013, an estimated 29.8 million households were gotten for the entire country.

Daring gunmen have assassinated a former Chairman of Peremabiri Community Development Committee (CDC), Morris Jonathan, at his residence in Akenpaiarea of Yenagoa, Bayelsa.


The Commissioner of Police in Bayelsa, Hilary Opara, confirmed the incident.

He stated that that the assailants did not remove any valuable or cash from the deceased’s home during the attack.

"My DPO called me early in the morning to inform me of the murder case," he said.

Mr. Opara added that no arrest had been made by the Police authorities as investigation in the murder was ongoing.

Residents of the area were left bewildered following the murder of the 34 year old civil servant as his wife wailed uncontrollably.

Family sources said Jonathan's remains had been deposited at the morgue of the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa.

The deceased hailed from Peremabiri, an oil-bearing area located in Southern Ijaw Local Government area of the state.

An eyewitness who sought anonymity said that the gunmen, numbering about six persons, invaded Jonathan's residence at about 1am, shooting sporadically,  before they entered the victim's bedroom and shot him dead.

It was gathered that the gunmen did not remove anything from the home of the former CDC chairman after shooting him.

The President of the Bayelsa State Chapter of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Mr. Brigth Igrubia and six others have been arrested over an alleged fight over a N1.5 million largesse given by Dame Patience Jonathan to youth praise singers last week in Otuoke.

 Youths sympathetic to the arrested men claim that the money was handed to the youths during a solidarity visit they paid to Mrs. Jonathan during her private visit to Bayelsa on Tuesday.

Others claim the controversy and the embarrassing clashes among the youths, led by the members of the National Youths Council of Nigeria, the Otuoke Youth Association and others who stage separate solidarity visits to the wife of the President.

Trouble started for the arrested youth leaders when they mobilized youths for the solidarity visit to Mrs. Jonathan.

The US has threatened to sanction Nigeria following President Jonathan’s signing of the Same-Sex Prohibition Act 2014. The world power is threatening to scale down its support for HIV/AIDS and anti-malaria programmes in Nigeria. This was made known yesterday Jan. 20th by James Entwistle, the US Ambassador to Nigeria.

Mr Entwistle said he was worried about "the implications of the anti-same sex marriage law which seems to restrict the fundamental rights of a section of the Nigerian population.”

"The issue of same-sex marriage was very controversial all over the world, including within  the United States where 17 states out of 50 had endorsed it, but others still reject its legality. The issue that we see and I am speaking as a friend of Nigeria is that as I read the bill, it looks to me that it puts significant restrictions on the freedoms of assembly and expression; in my opinion which applies especially in advanced democracies, once government begins to say something in these areas, freedom no longer applies. It seems to me that this is a very worrisome precedent.”

Circled is the Salvadorean nun who said she had no idea she was pregnant when she gave birth to a baby boy (Find the story here).

33 year old Roxana Rodriguez, a nun with the order of the Little Disciples of Jesus, initially claimed she thought her labour pains were 'stomach cramps' when an ambulance rushed her to the hospital.

Her picture was published this weekend in the Italian daily newspaper, Corriere Della Sera. The new mum reportedly told her social worker:
'I am so happy. I feel more of a mother than a nun, I think that's obvious. I decided to call him Francis in honour of our wonderful south American Pope. I do not feel of guilt. I will be keeping him and bringing him up. He is a gift from God. I am little worried about all the publicity, not only in Italy but in El Salvador and all over the world. Everyone is talking about this and I don't think I will be able to return to my home country"
Sister Roxana took her vows and became a nun in the order last September and has since written an apology letter to the Church and her Mother Superior. She revealed that the father of her child is a man from her native El Salvador but has not named him. Continue...

Aviation Minister, Princess Stella Oduah, has explained why a handful of detractors remains unrelenting in the criticisms of her and the aviation industry. 
 photo
The minister lamented in Abuja yesterday that apart  from the political side to her travails, “entrenched interests in the aviation sector which have been ripping off the sector in the past 38 years and held the sector and stifling its development” were behind orchestrated attempts to disparage her.
Oduah, who sounded defiant, made it clear that she would not abandon the transformation agenda she was vigorously pursuing in the aviation sector because of the antics of her traducers so that Nigerians could derive maximum benefits from her struggle.
The minister’s words:”For the over 38 years that our airports were a damning commentary on our status as part of the civilised world; or when our airspace existed without the requisite navigational facilities to make the airspace safe; these category of persons saw no evil and heard no evil while they happily clapped their ways to the banks.
“This group has carried on with bitter venom, throwing decency and honour overboard, lying and misleading the Nigerian populace even when they know the truth because my team and I changed the game in favour of Nigeria attaining her pride of place in the comity of nations.
“For this category, that is the entrenched, corrupt and profligate individuals and entities who have caused the serious rot in the aviation sector, I owe no apologies.
“All I owe them is to further inform them that the current generation has seen through them and are no longer willing to tolerate their antics.”
Preferring not to comment on the controversial armoured cars saga, Oduah said the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan had changed the ways of doing things significantly in the country as  the president recognised the infrastructural deficit in the nation and taken very bold steps to address them in order to bequeath to the next generation a nation that can compete favourably in the comity of nations and imbue our next generation with pride and patriotism.
