Cristiano Ronaldo has always been my role model, an example for me. I’m lucky because we talk, he gives me advice and helps me. He is the number one, the reference of Real Madrid. People still dream and talk of Cristiano now.

Here is the notorious 44 year old kidnap kingpin, KELVIN PROSPER ONIARAH.

He was a dreaded leader of a kidnapping and robbery gang that was implicated in the killing of many police and military officers as well as some other victims.

On 25th September 2013, a combined security team of the Nigerian Army and DSS operatives arrested Kelvin, a notorious terrorist, kidnap kingpin and armed robber, who has been on the wanted list of security agencies.

Kelvin ONIARAH who is also known as Kelvin IBRUVWE masterminded the kidnap of Barrister Mike OZEKHOME (SAN) on 24th August, 2013, along Auchi–Benin road.

He is also responsible for the following kidnaps:

1. A Judge of the Edo State Judiciary,

2. A top female official of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS),

3. Dr Chudi NWIKE, a former Deputy Governor of Anambra State, who was killed by Kelvin while in captivity,

4. Several members of the NYSC and security agents.

He also masterminded various attacks against security personnel, carried out several armed robberies and kidnap operations in Delta, Edo, Rivers and Anambra States.

ONIARAH maintained operational bases and detention camps in Warri and Kokori communities in Delta State, Ugbokolo community in Benue State, Benin City in Edo State, and Aba in Abia State.

It would also be recalled that on the 18th September 2013, Kelvin issued a 60 day ultimatum to the federal government to release some of his boys who were arrested by the DSS or he would wreak havoc on innocent Nigerian citizens.

He was among those granted pardon by President Tinubu in the recent amnesty for some prisoners and has walked home freely after spending 12 years in imprisonment out of his 20 years sentence.

Former Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, has kicked against the appointment of only 2 Northerners to assume the position of chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC since its inception.

In a post shared on X, Bashir argued that out of the 12 INEC chairman that have have been appointed, 10 are from the South East and South South while only two are from the North.,

He argued that this ‘’stark imbalance'' should raise questions about equitable representation in one of Nigeria’s most critical democratic institutions.

Wow. It is important to point out that out of the 12 chairmen who have led the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) since its inception, 10 have come from the South, while only two have come from the North. This stark imbalance should raise questions about equitable representation in one of Nigeria’s most critical democratic institutions.

The Zamfara State Government has announced a total revenue generation of N358.9 billion for the 2024 fiscal year, representing 82 percent performance of its approved revenue target of N437 billion.

The disclosure was made by the State Auditor-General, Abubakar Danmaliki, on Thursday in Gusau, during the official presentation of the state’s 2024 Citizens Accountability Report.

Danmaliki explained that the revenue performance reflected steady improvement in the state’s Value Added Tax (VAT), Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), and federal statutory allocations, alongside aids and grants from development partners.

Earlier, the Commissioner of Finance, Bello Auta said that the report’s presentation was the maiden edition.

He disclosed that nominated projects by citizens amounted to N105 billion, adding that the projects were properly executed and completed across the state, including those nominated by GESI (Gender Equity and Social Inclusion).

Auta noted that before the present administration in the state, Zamfara grappled with non-retirement of advances; IGR spent at source when generated and improper payment documentations.

“The aggregate revenue performance for the year was 82 per cent of the budgeted N437 billion amounting to N358.9 billion for the year,” the commissioner explained.

He noted that the revenue received was below the budget by 18 per cent and stood at N79 billion.

“The capital expenditure had a 55 per cent performance rate of the Budget of N292 billion, while the recurrent expenditure for personnel for the year was below the budget by 16 per cent,” he added.

According to him, the other recurrent expenditure was within the limit at 63 per cent respectively.

Administrative sector expended highest revenue
Auta further said that the administrative sector expended the highest proportion of recurrent expenditure, representing 74 per cent.

“While the economic sector expended the highest proportion of capital expenditure at 41 per cent in the year.

“The top 10 value projects of the state for year ended Dec. 31, 2024, being the second year of the present administration are nearing completion”, he further said.

In his remarks, Governor Dauda Lawal represented by the state Head of Service, Alhaji Yakubu Haidara, said the event was in line with his administration’s commitment to transparency, accountability and citizen participation in governance.

The governor noted that the issue of governance was not a closed-door affair but a collective responsibility, where people must feel the impact of government policies and understand how public funds are being utilised.

“As we all know, the citizens accountability and financial report provide a transparent summary of how the state’s resources are mobilised and spent to deliver services and infrastructure to the residents.

“I want to assure the good people of Zamfara that my administration will continue to keep the residents informed about the financial commitments, performance and utilisation of public funds,” Lawal said.

What you should know

In the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) generated a combined N3.63 trillion in Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in 2024.

The data showed that Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) rose to a cumulative N10.88 trillion between 2021 and 2024.

“They Threw My Belongings Outside”: Ex-Reverend Sister Annastasia Kinse Opens Up on Her Dismissal, Harassment, and Faith Struggles


For ten years, Annastasia Kinse served God as a reverend sister under the Congregation of Mother of Perpetual Help of the Archangels Sisters. But after a decade of devotion, her world came crashing down. In this exclusive interview with The Bureau News, she recounts the pain, dismissal, and trauma that followed her decision to speak up against harassment.

“I Joined to Serve God”

Kinse, a native of Plateau State, joined the convent in July 2015 and made her perpetual vows in 2023, becoming the first reverend sister from her village. Before her dismissal, she served as a graduate assistant at Veritas University, Abuja, while pursuing a master’s degree.

“Religious life was my calling — a complete surrender to God,” she said. “I wanted to serve in sincerity and truth.”

The Dismissal and the Letter That Shattered Her

Her life took a drastic turn in mid-2025 when her congregation announced her dismissal publicly on Facebook and WhatsApp. A letter, dated July 21 but received by her on September 24, accused her of acting against her vows and identifying as a Muslim — claims she described as “completely false.”

“What truly happened,” she said, “was that I reported a case of sexual harassment at Veritas University. My report didn’t sit well with some people in authority. Instead of protection, I got punished.”

“I Reported Sexual Harassment”

According to Kinse, the alleged harassment came from her head of department. She said she had voice recordings and videos as evidence. “I didn’t want to destroy anyone. I only wanted justice and to prevent him from doing it to others,” she explained.

Her confidential report soon became public. A disciplinary panel was convened — one she described as “intimidating and hostile.”

“They seized my phone, asked demeaning questions like, ‘Why did you go to his office if you knew he would harass you?’ It felt like I was the one on trial,” she recalled.

She said that despite requesting counselling and mental-health support, none was provided. “After that hearing, priests and other staff showed up at my house with a nurse. I felt trapped and scared,” she said.

Faith, Fear, and the “Conversion” Post

When asked about her viral Facebook post claiming she had converted to Islam, Kinse clarified it was an emotional outburst born out of despair. “It wasn’t a real conversion,” she explained. “I was angry and broken. My aunt, who died a Muslim, came to mind. It was grief and frustration — not apostasy.”

“They Sent a Priest Who Once Harassed Me”

She claimed that instead of compassion, her congregation sent a priest who had previously made advances toward her to “counsel” her. “He twisted the story and told lies against me,” she said. “That broke me completely.”

She added that she made repeated efforts to contact her bishop through messages and letters, which were later denied. “I gave ten years of my life to God’s service. But I was treated like I never existed,” she lamented.

“They Threw My Belongings Outside”

Recounting her last day in the convent, Kinse said her belongings were dumped outside without explanation. “I got back and saw all my things scattered. My religious habit had been taken away. I took a picture because I couldn’t believe it. That night, I made a Facebook post to tell the world my truth.”

“Ten years of devotion and obedience — gone in one night. I was humiliated, betrayed, and discarded by the very Church I loved.”

Despite her ordeal, Kinse says she hasn’t lost faith in God, only in the systems that failed her. “I still pray every day. But I’m healing slowly,” she said.

A Sunday of Blessings and Joy.

Stay Blessed

Groups of soldiers in Madagascar joined thousands of protesters in the capital, Antananarivo, on Saturday, vowing to defy any orders to shoot demonstrators.

The latest youth-led protests drew massive crowds around the Lake Anosy area, marking one of the largest gatherings since unrest began on September 25 over power and water shortages. The demonstrations have since evolved into a broader anti-government movement.

Witnesses said security forces initially used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the protesters before soldiers arrived at the scene, where they were greeted with cheers and chants of “Thank you!” Many of the soldiers waved Madagascar flags in solidarity.

Earlier that day, soldiers at a barracks in Soanierana, on the outskirts of the city, declared they would not fire on their compatriots. In a video shared on social media, the troops urged fellow military personnel, police, and gendarmes to resist orders to use force.

“Let us join forces and refuse to be paid to shoot our friends, our brothers, and our sisters,” the soldiers said in the recording.

They also called on soldiers stationed at the airport to block flights and urged others in military camps to “close the gates and await our instructions.”

“Do not obey orders from your superiors,” they added. “Point your weapons at those who order you to fire on your comrades, because they will not take care of our families if we die.”

The scale of military defection remains unclear, but the development marks a serious challenge for President Andry Rajoelina’s administration. The Soanierana base was the epicentre of a 2009 mutiny that brought Rajoelina to power.

At a press conference on Saturday, newly appointed Armed Forces Minister General Deramasinjaka Manantsoa Rakotoarivelo urged calm within the ranks, appealing for dialogue.

“We call on our brothers who disagree with us to prioritise dialogue,” he said, adding that “the Malagasy army remains a mediator and the nation’s last line of defence.”

The protests, now in their third week, have seen increasing violence. On Thursday, several people were injured when security forces used rubber bullets, armoured vehicles, and tear gas against demonstrators. Footage of officers beating an unconscious man went viral on social media.

The United Nations condemned the crackdown on Friday, urging authorities to “desist from unnecessary force and uphold the rights to free association and peaceful assembly.” The UN estimates that at least 22 people were killed in the early days of the unrest, though President Rajoelina has disputed the figure, claiming only 12 confirmed deaths — all of them “looters and vandals.”

In the wake of the crisis, Rajoelina initially dissolved his government but has since taken a tougher stance. On October 6, he appointed a military officer as prime minister and selected new cabinet members from the military, police, and security forces, declaring that Madagascar “no longer needs disturbances.”

Among the world’s poorest nations, Madagascar has experienced repeated political upheavals since independence in 1960. The 2009 protests that toppled then-President Marc Ravalomanana installed Rajoelina in power. He was re-elected in 2018 and again in 2023 in elections boycotted by the opposition.

Popular Nigerian singer and entertainer Teniola Apata, better known as Teni, has sparked hilarious reactions online after revealing why she never gives people money on Fridays. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

In a viral video that quickly caught the attention of fans, the “Billionaire” crooner explained that she avoids handing out money at the end of the week because, according to her, people often spend it on pepper soup instead of meaningful things.

Speaking in her signature playful tone, Teni said in Pidgin English:

“Me I no dey give anybody money on Friday. No no no! If you give person money on Friday, them go use your money go chop pepper soup ooh.”

Teni Recounts a Funny Experience

The award-winning artist went on to share a personal experience that inspired her “Friday rule.”

According to Teni, she once gave someone money after they claimed they wanted to start a business, only to later find out the person used it to buy a large plate of catfish pepper soup.

“I just weak,” she said laughing. “The person say e wan do business. Next thing, e go eat pepper soup with my money. Since then, I no dey give anybody money for Friday again.”

She humorously advised that if anyone wants to help others financially, it’s better to do so on a Monday, when people are still thinking about their goals for the week.
Mixed Reactions Trail Teni’s Video

Teni’s video immediately went viral across X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram, with fans and followers flooding the comments section with laughter and personal stories.

User @Bigshamx wrote:

“You fit give person money for Monday make e keep am till Friday and still use am chop pepper soup 😂🤣.”

Another user, @Chiamaka, commented:

“Humans always feel entitled to your money. The moment you start helping, they turn it into entitlement. That’s why some people don’t even like to help anymore.”

Sharing a similar experience, @Evade added:

“One day one girl ask me for money, the next thing I see her at Cold Stone eating ice cream! Me wey never go Cold Stone before, e pain me gan 😂😂.”

Fans Applaud Teni’s Sense of Humor

Many fans praised Teni for her honesty and humor, saying her story perfectly captures the everyday struggles of generosity in Nigeria. Others joked that they would start following her “no money on Friday” policy to avoid disappointment.

Social media users described the singer’s post as a mix of comedy and truth, reflecting how people often misuse the goodwill of others.

Teni: The Star Who Keeps It Real

Known for her vibrant personality and down-to-earth humor, Teni continues to remain one of Nigeria’s most relatable celebrities. From her music to her playful social media moments, she has built a reputation for keeping it real with her fans.

Whether through her hit songs like “Case”, “Uyo Meyo”, and “Billionaire”, or her funny takes on everyday issues, Teni proves once again that she can turn any conversation into entertainment gold.

For Nigerian travellers, a number of countries are making it easier to obtain visa and to visit, study, or conduct business within their borders.

From Africa to the Middle East, governments are gradually relaxing visa policies, embracing more open travel relations with Africa’s most populous nation.

Here’s a look at some of the countries that have recently made the visa process simpler for Nigerians.

1. South Africa

South Africa has taken a major step toward strengthening its relationship with Nigeria by simplifying visa access for travellers. Nigerian applicants can now obtain South African visas without physically submitting their passports, making the process more seamless and secure. Business travellers also benefit from a five-year multiple-entry visa, a move designed to encourage trade and investment between the two countries. This reform reflects a mutual commitment to deepen economic and tourism ties between Nigeria and South Africa.

2. United Arab Emirates (UAE)

After nearly two years of diplomatic tension that saw visa suspensions for Nigerians, the United Arab Emirates reopened its doors in 2024 by resuming visa issuance. The development also coincided with the resumption of direct flights between Lagos, Abuja, and Dubai by Emirates and Etihad Airways. Though some conditions remain in place—such as specific eligibility requirements for certain age groups—the policy shift represents a renewed partnership and a path to restoring the once vibrant travel and business link between the two nations.

3. Kenya

Kenya is positioning itself as one of Africa’s most welcoming destinations by abolishing the electronic travel authorization requirement for most African nationals, including Nigerians. From July 2025, Nigerians can visit Kenya visa-free and stay for up to 90 days. The decision aligns with Kenya’s Pan-African agenda of promoting free movement across the continent and boosting trade, tourism, and cultural exchange among African states.

4. Rwanda

Rwanda continues to lead by example in promoting African unity and integration. Nigerians can now

travel to Rwanda visa-free for up to 30 days, part of a broader initiative to enhance tourism, business, and conference travel across the continent. Kigali’s open-door approach has made it a hub for regional diplomacy and innovation, symbolizing what a borderless Africa could look like.

5. Ghana

Ghana has embraced digital transformation in its immigration system, introducing an online visa portal that simplifies applications for Nigerians. The new platform eliminates the need for paper forms and physical visits to consulates. Approvals can now be obtained electronically within just a few business days. The policy fosters closer West African cooperation and encourages tourism, education, and business travel between Accra and Lagos.

6. Barbados

In the Caribbean, Barbados has become increasingly open to African visitors, extending visa-free stays for Nigerians up to six months. This progressive policy not only supports tourism but also promotes stronger diaspora connections between Africa and the Caribbean. The country has also marketed itself as a remote work haven for Africans looking for short-term relocation opportunities under its Welcome Stamp programme.

7. Turkey

Turkey has also made travel easier for Nigerians who already hold valid US, UK, or Schengen visas. Through its online e-visa portal, eligible Nigerians can now apply digitally and receive approval within 48 hours without visiting the embassy. The simplified process enhances tourism and business travel, while offering Nigerians a convenient gateway between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Popular Nollywood actress and producer, Regina Daniels, has announced plans to celebrate her 24th birthday in grand style by giving away a total of ₦10 million to 10 lucky fans.

The actress made the announcement via her official Instagram page, revealing that this year’s celebration holds special meaning for her — one filled with gratitude, love, and renewed excitement for life.

In her words, “I haven’t felt this excited about my birthday in six years. This time, I want to share my joy with those who have been part of my journey.” Eyes Of Lagos reports,

“After Marriage, I Lost Interest in Birthdays” – Regina Opens Up

Regina admitted that after marrying into the Nwoko family, her enthusiasm for birthdays faded because the family placed little emphasis on such celebrations.

“I used to be so excited about birthdays,” she wrote. “But after getting married, I slowly lost that excitement. My husband’s family doesn’t really celebrate birthdays, so I got used to not doing much.”

However, the actress said that this year feels different, as she has rediscovered the joy of celebrating life and sharing happiness with others.

Motherhood Rekindled My Joy for Life

Reflecting on her personal growth, Regina Daniels said that motherhood and spiritual maturity have reshaped her outlook on life.

“The joy of motherhood, family support, and my personal growth have rekindled my excitement for birthdays,” she wrote. “I’ve learned to appreciate the little things and celebrate both myself and those around me.”

She described herself as a woman “carrying generations while building hers,” highlighting how motherhood has given her deeper purpose and fulfillment.

From Quiet Reflections to Public Generosity

Regina revealed that her decision to give back was not random but a continuation of something she has been doing privately.

“There’s something I’ve been enjoying doing for a while now,” she said. “I love gifting people online. It’s my way of spreading love and happiness.”

This year, however, she decided to make it bigger and more symbolic — by making 10 of her fans millionaires in one day.

₦10 Million Giveaway Sparks Massive Reactions Online

The actress’s announcement that she would gift ₦1 million each to 10 fans quickly went viral, sparking excitement and admiration across social media platforms.

Fans flooded her comment section with birthday wishes, prayers, and appreciation messages, hailing her as one of Nollywood’s most generous and humble stars.

“Making 10 people millionaires on your birthday is such a beautiful gesture,” one fan wrote. “You truly have a heart of gold.”

A New Chapter for Regina Daniels

As she turns 24, Regina says she feels renewed, grateful, and deeply connected to her purpose.

“This past year has shown me that God has so much in store for me,” she said. “I’m evolving every day, and I’m grateful for the people who have supported me through every season of my life.”

The actress ended her birthday message with a heartfelt thank-you to her fans, family, and well-wishers, promising to continue sharing love and light through her work and actions.

2025 U-20 WC: Flying Eagles Suffer Humiliating 4-0 Defeat To Argentina In Round Of 16 Clash

October 8, 2025

Flying Eagles of Nigeria’s journey at this year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup was brought to an end following a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Argentina, in Wednesday’s round of 16 clash, Completesports.com reports.

It was revenge for the Argentines who were eliminated by the Flying Eagles on home soil 2-0 at this same stage in 2023.

Also, the Flying Eagles have now lost 11 times in 14 meetings (one win, two draws) against South American opponents at the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Not a few will argue that Argentina were deserved winners as they dominated most parts of the game and created more scoring chances.

It was not a surprise when Argentina took the lead just two minutes into the contest, as Alejo Sarco slotted the ball home in the second minute, after Ebenezer Harcourt had wandered out of his goalline to claim an ariel ball.

In the 23rd minute Maher Carrizo made it 2-0 with a superb free kick as he beat Harcourt at his near post.

Carrizo then made it 3-0 in the 53rd minute, beating the offside trap, raced towards goal before slotting past a stranded Harcourt.

Then in the 66th minute Mateo Silvetti added the fourth goal with a low left foot strike after dribbling past Daniel Bamayi inside the box.

Argentina, who are on the quest of landing a seventh U-20 World Cup title, will now take on Mexico in the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, Africa’s other representative and U-20 AFCON champions South Africa lost 3-1 to Colombia in the other round of 16 encounter also played on Wednesday.

The world is really evolving rapidly.

I suggest that Cucumber found in the possession of a lady should be a Contraband commodity.

These items were recovered from the females hostels by security agents of the university.

I dey fear GenZ ladies oooooo

Trained as a Dental Surgeon Assistant, but chose the path of entrepreneurship.

She started her business journey in the early ’90s as a humble gas retailer.

In 2002, she opened her first small gas shop from a container at Oke-Aro, Lagos.

From that small beginning, she built a household brand in Nigeria’s LPG industry.

She holds a B.Sc. in Business Administration from Lead City University, Ibadan.

With over 30 years of resilience and passion in the downstream oil & gas sector.

She commissioned her first LPG bottling plant in 2007.

As of August 2022, Gasland operates almost 25 plants across Nigeria.

Her vision has turned Gasland into a trusted energy provider for thousands of homes.

The company expanded purely through organic growth – no outside investors.

Gasland today employs hundreds of Nigerians and supports countless families.

Her three children – Abisoye, Sultan, and Mubarak – now serve as directors.

She has transformed Gasland into a globally recognized brand with local roots.

She is widely admired for her vision, resilience, and people-first leadership.

Her story is living proof that small beginnings can lead to global impact.

From a small container shop to an industry giant, Mrs. Omowunmi Adebayo proves that with passion, persistence, and vision, no dream is too small to grow big.

I am calling on Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), and on the Tinubu administration to immediately step in and facilitate the safe return and recognition of the Nigerian activist hero who participated in the Gaza Sumud Flotilla.

This was not just another protest, it was a mission of moral courage. The Sumud Flotilla sailed in the face of military blockade, carrying nothing but humanitarian aid and the conscience of the world. Among those who braved that voyage was a Nigerian, a citizen who embodied the spirit of resistance, empathy, and international solidarity.

If Nigeria can send peacekeepers abroad, we must also protect peace activists who stand up for justice globally.
This is not a political issue, it’s a humanitarian and national pride issue.

The world should see that Nigeria does not abandon her citizens who act on the right side of history.
Abike Dabiri and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must use every diplomatic and consular channel to ensure this activist’s welfare, safety, and recognition as a symbol of Nigerian conscience abroad.

Let it be known that in a time of global silence, a Nigerian voice spoke, and Nigeria stood behind it.

Tinubu, Minister Tuggar, Ambassador Bianca, and Abike Dabiri must urgently call on the Israeli Ambassador, Michael Freeman, to guarantee the safety of Okey Nnorom while he remains in IDF custody.

Nigeria should also demand his immediate and unconditional release, just as other nations like Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom have successfully done for their detained citizens.

Okey Nnorom stood for humanity; now humanity must stand for him.

Salute to courage. Salute to humanity. ?


Activist Okey Vitalis Nnorom who joined the Omar AlMokhtar Flotilla sailing alongside the Global Sumud Flotilla, remains in detention, despite earlier false reports claiming he was handed over to the Nigerian embassy in Jordan. The occupation authorities deliberately obfuscated information and misled lawyers about the detainees’ status.

Supporters are called on to contact their local Nigerian embassy and the Nigerian government to demand Michael’s immediate release.

From Struggle to Success

In another message, the mother appeared to curse her, saying,
“You won’t make it anywhere in life. I bet that ?.”
To which the teen calmly replied, “That’s rude to say.”
Reactions Online

Brief remarks by the National Chairman of the ADC, Sen. David Mark at the NWC meeting of the party.

October 7, 2025

1- We begin with a conviction that Nigeria can, and will, work for everyone — and with a commitment to build a party bigger thank any personality , stronger than any moment and positively different from any party in the annals of our country.

2-What makes the ADC different is simple: we will be a party of purpose and determination, not impulses— an institution that champions democratic values and a culture of accountability and responsibility across its organs and in every government it forms. Our leadership standard is non-negotiable: character. Competence. Courage. Discipline. These four pillars will guide our choices, shape our culture, and anchor our performances.

3-We are a Pan-African, people-oriented, problem -solving movement— sensitive to the needs of the poor and the young, women and men, persons with disabilities, workers, peasants entrepreneurs, retirees, civil society, and the vulnerable. We will convert empathy into policy , and policy into results.

4-Other parties revolve around individuals; the ADC will revolve around rules, policies, programs, people and results. We will insist on team spirit , collaboration , and internal democracy. The supremacy we seek is the supremacy of our constitution and institutions— over everything: Personality, improvisation, and idiosyncrasy.

5- From today, we must adopt an integrity and performance compact.

6-First, open party, open books: independent annual audits published; procurement rules enforced; well articulated conflict -of-interest and gift policies.

7- Second, merit before loyalty: all appointments—party and government—benchmarked to the pillar standard of character , competence , courage, and discipline.

8- Third, clean elections, clean governance: digital , verifiable membership and primaries; candidate rigorous screening before nomination; performance scorecards published quarterly.

9- Fourth, citizens first: service charters in every ADC-led government with timelines, public dashboards, and real feedback mechanisms.

10- Fifth, dignity and inclusion: standing councils for special interest group such as workers, women, Youth, farmers, professionals, retired security officers, educators, persons with disabilities, retirees, civil society, and the vulnerable - represented at the table not as tokens, but as architects of policies and programmes.

11- The ADC will defend the separation of powers, restore legislative and judicial independence, and strengthen oversight so that budgets serve the public interest, not private appetites. We will end the culture of parallel budgets and extra-budgetary maneuvers by enforcing strict and transparent planning, timely appropriations, and rigorous auditing.

12– The judiciary must again be a refuge for every citizen. We will back an independent, efficient, and trusted bench-appointments on merit, transparent case management, time-bound rulings, and a bias for justice over empty technicalities.

13- Nigerians are tired of slogans and statistics that do not translate into their welfare: food, power, jobs, and safety. We will focus on what works. We will pursue price stability and productivity through credible, rules-based coordination of fiscal and monetary policy.

14- We will secure our food supply by supporting farmers and agricultural value chains from inputs and storage to processing and markets. We will back small businesses and industry with affordable, performance-tied credit and local content that creates jobs, not rent. And we will shine a bright light on every naira-no parallel budget , no black-box spending, no sacred cows. Judge us by winat Nigerians feel in their daily lives, rhetorics and bland statistics: lower volatility, more reliable power, visible projects, and decent work.

In a move that could transform Nigeria’s domestic energy market, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery has once again reduced the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), also known as cooking gas.

The new ex-depot price now stands at ?760 per kilogram, down from ?810 last week.

This marks the refinery’s second major price cut in less than a month, and it continues to position Dangote as the leading driver of affordability in the gas sector.

Industry watchers say the move will bring much-needed relief to millions of households struggling with rising living costs and inflation.

Compared to other major suppliers, Dangote’s price stands far lower. Matrix and Ardova depots currently sell at ?920 per kilogram, while A.Y.M Shafa and NIPCO are at ?910 per kilogram.

Stockgap Depot, one of the biggest players in the market, sells for as high as ?950 per kilogram.

The price gap ranging from ?150 to ?190 per kilogram—highlights Dangote’s strong market influence and its growing role in stabilizing Nigeria’s energy prices.

Experts in the petroleum and energy sector have described the refinery’s strategy as a deliberate attempt to reshape market dynamics and discourage unnecessary price hikes by other depots.

By offering cheaper LPG, Dangote is believed to be setting a new benchmark that could force competitors to reduce their prices and make gas more accessible to Nigerian consumers.

Industry analysts also say that the refinery’s latest move aligns with its broader mission to boost domestic energy supply, reduce dependence on imports, and support the federal government’s agenda for clean energy transition.

Many Nigerians have welcomed the development, expressing hope that the reduction will reflect at the retail level, especially in local markets where consumers often face inflated prices.

If sustained, the Dangote Refinery’s consistent price adjustments could not only stabilize the cooking gas market but also encourage more households to switch from firewood and charcoal to cleaner energy sources helping to protect the environment and improve public health.

On July 24, both the Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives adjourned for their annual legislative recess.

https://www.channelstv.com/2025/10/07/natasha-returns-as-senate-resumes-plenary-after-10-week-recess/

SaharaReporters learned that to formalise the appointment, the President has scheduled a meeting of the Council of State for this Thursday.

Barring any last-minute changes, President Bola Tinubu is expected to nominate Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan (SAN) to succeed Prof. Mahmood Yakubu as the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) following his 10-year tenure across two terms.

SaharaReporters learned that to formalise the appointment, the President has scheduled a meeting of the Council of State for this Thursday. Amupitan is both a kinsman and longtime legal counsel for Senator Dino Melaye.

On September 26, 2025, SaharaReporters exclusively reported that Amupitan had emerged as the likely candidate to succeed Yakubu as the INEC National Chairman.

Previously, SaharaReporters exclusively reported that President Tinubu had directed Yakubu to proceed on leave ahead of the expiration of his tenure.

Sources described the move as a response to what they termed Yakubu’s “last-minute betrayal” of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government that appointed him.

Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma reportedly met with President Tinubu shortly after the president returned from a 12-day working vacation, alleging that Yakubu’s efforts to register new political parties toward the end of his tenure had disrupted Tinubu’s preparations for a second term.

Sources told SaharaReporters that the governor also claimed that Yakubu was covertly supporting a candidate in the Imo State governorship election.

Following this briefing, Tinubu reportedly requested that Yakubu suspend all official duties and proceed on terminal leave.

Yakubu was first appointed INEC Chairman on October 21, 2015, by then-President Muhammadu Buhari, succeeding acting chairperson Amina Zakari. Following Senate confirmation on October 29, 2015, he was sworn in on November 9, 2015.

After completing his first term in November 2020, Yakubu was nominated for a second and final term by President Buhari, confirmed by the Senate, and sworn in on December 1, 2020.

“Tinubu is shopping for Prof. Yakubu’s replacement, and Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan is likely to be the next INEC Chairman,” a top government source told SaharaReporters in September.

Amupitan’s Profile

Amupitan is a legal scholar and administrator with over 34 years of academic and professional experience. A native of Ijumu Local Government Area in Kogi State, he is married to Dr. (Mrs.) Yemisi Amupitan, and together they are blessed with four children.

Amupitan began his academic journey at the University of Jos in 1989 as an Assistant Lecturer. He steadily rose through the academic ranks, becoming a Reader in 2003 and a Professor of Law in 2008.

Over the years, he has held several key administrative positions, including Head of Department of Public Law, Dean of the Faculty of Law, Chairman of the Committee of Deans and Directors, and a member of the University’s Governing Council.

He has also served on the Governing Councils of the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies and the Council of Legal Education. Today, he serves as the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration) at the University of Jos.

In December 2023, Professor Amupitan was inaugurated as the second Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Joseph Ayo Babalola University (JABU), thereby affording him affiliation with the school.

According to records online, he obtained his Bachelor of Law degree from the University of Jos in 1987 and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1988 after completing the Barrister at Law program at the Nigerian Law School, Lagos.

He went on to earn a Master of Law degree in 1993 and a Ph.D. in Law in 2007, both from the University of Jos. In recognition of his achievements in the legal profession, he was conferred with the prestigious title of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) in 2014.

His areas of specialisation include the Law of Evidence, Corporate Governance, Corporate Law, and Privatisation Law.

Amupitan has contributed to research, focusing on the legal frameworks for privatisation, reform of electoral laws, and reforms in petroleum and corporate governance laws.

He is an active member of several professional bodies, including the Nigerian Bar Association, the Nigerian Institute of Management, and the National Association of Law Teachers.

By Clement A. Oloyede

Following investigation by PREMIUM TIMES, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), disowned the Bachelor of Science degree certificate in the possession of the Minister, saying the politician did not complete his studies at the institution and was never issued a certificate.

According to PREMIUM TIMES, Simon U. Ortuanya, the Vice-Chancellor of UNN, stated that although Nnaji was admitted to the institution in 1981, he did not complete his studies and was never awarded a degree.

The platform added that authorities at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) also confirmed that the certificate of national service being paraded by Nnaji was strange to it and could not be authenticated.

Before Nnaji, some members of the Federal Executive Council were under the spotlight over similar issues. In this piece, we highlight some of such persons.


KEMI ADEOSUN

Adeosun’s case remains one of the most prominent certificate controversies to hit Nigeria’s political class, particularly during her tenure as Minister of Finance under President Muhammadu Buhari. Appointed in 2015, Adeosun was accused of presenting a forged NYSC exemption certificate. Investigations revealed that the document, dated 2009, allegedly bore the signature of a former NYSC Director-General who had already left office months earlier, casting doubt on its authenticity. The NYSC later confirmed that Adeosun applied for an exemption but stopped short of verifying the certificate she presented as genuine.

Under mounting public pressure, Adeosun resigned in September 2018, stating that she had obtained the document in good faith and was unaware it might be invalid. Her resignation triggered nationwide debate on integrity in public office and the selective enforcement of Nigeria’s NYSC law, which mandates one year of service for graduates under 30.

In 2021, a Federal High Court in Abuja ruled that Adeosun was not legally required to present an NYSC certificate to hold public office. The court held that she was ineligible for service when she graduated from a UK university in 1989, as she was then a British citizen. The ruling effectively cleared her of legal wrongdoing, though it did not address whether the certificate she used was forged.

While the judgment offered her legal relief, questions lingered over ethical accountability in government appointments. Adeosun has since maintained that she was a victim of misinformation and that, although the controversy was politically damaging, it vindicated her claim that she broke no law.


ADEBAYO SHITTU

Former Minister of Communications Adebayo Shittu was accused of failing to participate in the mandatory one-year NYSC scheme after graduating from the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) in 1978. Unlike Adeosun, he was not accused of presenting a fake certificate; the allegation was that he never took part in the scheme at all.

Shittu, who served in the same cabinet as Adeosun, argued that his election to the Oyo State House of Assembly shortly after law school constituted a form of “higher service” and therefore fulfilled his civic obligation in lieu of the NYSC.

However, the NYSC Act requires all Nigerian graduates under 30 to participate in the programme. Since Shittu graduated at 25, he was subject to the service requirement. He insisted he did not violate the law, noting that the Constitution does not explicitly list NYSC completion as a qualification for elective office. The NYSC, however, maintained that holding an elective position does not substitute for national service under the law.


HANNATU MUSAWA

Musawa, the current Minister of Art, Culture, and Creative Economy, was alleged to have still been a serving NYSC member when she was appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2023. Critics argued that serving as a minister while completing NYSC violated the NYSC Act.

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) filed a lawsuit seeking her removal on the grounds of violating the Act and asked the court to nullify her NYSC certificate. Civil society groups also challenged her eligibility, insisting that a corps member could not legally hold ministerial office.

In April 2024, however, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed the suit, ruling that the plaintiffs lacked the legal standing to bring the case. Musawa has consistently defended herself, saying she “did nothing wrong” and that she had completed her NYSC in accordance with the law. Nonetheless, questions remain over whether her service was properly concluded and whether her appointment complied fully with statutory requirements.


OLUBUNMI TUNJI-OJO

Another recent high-profile case involved Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the current Minister of Interior and former member of the House of Representatives, who faced allegations of presenting a forged NYSC certificate during his ministerial screening in 2023. Reports claimed discrepancies in the dates and details of his discharge certificate, suggesting he might have completed his service while already serving as a legislator.

After weeks of public scrutiny, the NYSC clarified that Tunji-Ojo’s certificate was genuine. The Corps explained that he was first mobilised in 2006 but absconded, leading to his remobilisation in 2019. He was redeployed to the Federal Capital Territory Administration, Garki, Abuja, and later completed the programme successfully. The NYSC said his discharge certificate was produced in February 2023 after an earlier administrative omission delayed its issuance.

Despite the clarification, the overlap between his NYSC service and public office raised further questions. Civil society groups and opposition figures demanded additional investigations, but the Senate proceeded to confirm his nomination, citing the NYSC’s verification as sufficient proof of authenticity. Tunji-Ojo maintained that his documents were valid and that he had fully complied with service regulations upon remobilisation. His allies — including ethnic youth leaders and former schoolmates — defended him, describing the allegations as politically motivated.


STELLA ODUAH

Former Minister of Aviation and senator representing Anambra North, Stella Oduah, has also been embroiled in a long-running controversy over her NYSC status. The NYSC disclosed that Oduah was mobilised in the 1982/83 service year and deployed to Lagos State but allegedly absconded shortly after orientation, failing to complete the mandatory one-year programme. The Corps maintained that she was therefore never issued a discharge certificate.

Despite this, Oduah reportedly claimed in official documents, including her Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Form CF001, that she had completed her service, while also asserting that her certificate had been lost. She supported this with an affidavit and a police extract — claims later described by investigators as false.

In 2023, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) filed an eight-count charge against her at the Federal High Court in Abuja, accusing her of perjury, forgery, and making false declarations. The charges centred on alleged falsification of her NYSC credentials and the submission of misleading documents during her time as a public official.

Oduah has denied all allegations, describing them as baseless and politically motivated. Her lawyers argued that she was not properly served with the charges and that the EFCC filed the case without a prior investigation. The matter remains before the court, with the NYSC standing by its position that she did not complete national service and could not have been issued a valid certificate.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin is 73 years old today. Putin was born on 7 October 1952 in Leningrad. Until 1965, he attended a secondary school of general education, after which he entered a specialised secondary school with an advanced study of chemistry.

Later, he became a student at the Faculty of Law at Leningrad State University named after A. A. Zhdanov (now St. Petersburg State University).

On 31 December 1999, Putin became Acting President of Russia, and on 26 March 2000, he was elected Head of the Russian State through a nationwide vote.

He was subsequently re-elected to this position in 2004, 2012, 2018, and 2024. Between 2008 and 2012, when Dmitry Medvedev served as President, Putin held the post of Chairman of the Government.

Under the leadership of Vladimir Putin, Russia has hosted several major international events, including the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi and the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The country also regularly holds the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and the Eastern Economic Forum, which have become important platforms for intergovernmental dialogue.

In addition, with Russia’s active participation, key international groups were established – BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) – which have strengthened the country’s position on the global stage.

On the Russian leader’s birthday, he traditionally receives congratulations from foreign heads of state and government.

NIGERIANS ARE THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA.DO YOU BELIEVE IT? MAYBE AFTER READING YOU CAN SHARE YOUR OPINION.

I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff.

Everyone we hire appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible. Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced.

The worstpart of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management. There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year.

But I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management. So competent, so honest and so straightforward. I thought they were expensive at first with all the visafees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management.

Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions. I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.

My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff. The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions.

I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money.

This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit. We have tospend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't be needed if staffweren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.

It got so bad at a point that my main criteriafor employing staff was no longer competency but honesty. At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.

We always complain of the economy and how there are no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.

I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can'tbecause they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business. So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills, while the thieves are shoutingno jobs.

Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can'ttrust anyone. This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria. They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.

Start a poultry and they will be stealing youreggs. Some will even goahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketingyour money. On the days you're around at the business, the moneyrealized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around.Because they're eating your money.Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of thetotal food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.Even ordinary provisions shop, they will finda way to steal. You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"......

Just imagine, justifying theft at work.And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.

Embattled Nigerian Instagram big boy and alleged fraudster, Hushpuppi has been transferred to the Central District of California for prosecution.

The alleged cyber criminal was arraigned in a Chicago court on Monday and denied bail despite pleas by his lawyer.

He was transferred to the Central District of California on Tuesday for prosecution and remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshal in accordance to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f).

Hushpuppi was denied bail in the United States in spite of his lawyer, Gal Pissetzky insisting that his job as an Instagram celebrity pays for his expenditures.

In his defense, his legal counsel revealed that his job as an Instagram socialite is what pays for his $10,000 monthly rent on his luxury Dubai flat. They had applied for him to leave jail with an electronic tag and live with the uncle of a woman with whom he has a child with, but US prosecutors opposed the bail application.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Ondo state Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu have petitioned the Ondo State Commissioner of Police, Salami Bolaji over former Secretary to the State Government, Ifedayo Abegunde's claim of rigging 2016 governorship election in Akeredolu's favour.
It was reported that Abegunde who insisted that Akeredolu did not win the 2016 governorship election while speaking on a programme on Crest 87.7 Fm, said he (Akeredolu) lost the 2016 governorship poll to the then Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Eyitayo Jegede. He revealed that some "moneybags" in the All Progressives Congress (APC) including himself, rigged Akeredolu into power in 2016 by manipulating the election result in his favour.
In the petition written to the police by his lawyer Mr. Femi Emmanuel Emodamori, Akeredolu stated that such a claim needs to be investigated. He also described the allegation as false, reckless, senseless, and criminal.
"According to the official result of the governorship election published by INEC, APC and its candidate, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu polled 224, 842 votes, while the Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate in the election, Eyitayo Jegede, polled 150, 380 votes.
"The Alliance for Democracy and its candidate in the election, Chief Olusola Oke, came third, with total votes of 126,889.
"Our clients emphatically state that the much-publicised allegation of manipulation of the 2016 Ondo State election by Sunday Ifedayo Abegunde is diametrically spurious, false, reckless, senseless, and criminal.
"It was made to scandalise our clients, particularly the governor, three and half years after the undisputed election, and after Sunday Ifedayo Abegunde parted ways with the current government of Ondo State.
"You would agree with us that electoral integrity is a severe and sensitive issue in Nigeria. For any person to fraudulently procure the return of any other person to an elective office, whether directly or indirectly, is a criminal offence punishable with twelve (12) months imprisonment, under section 124(1) (a) of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended).
"We have the instruction of our clients to call on your office to set all the necessary machinery in motion.

In spite of the despair that came with the COVID-19 pandemic and its attendant consequences, Nigeria decided to seize the opportunity to reset the economy amidst worldwide economic challenges, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

Prof. Osinbajo stated this in Abuja on Tuesday at a Webinar organised by the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council, CWEIC, with its focus on Nigeria.

According to the Vice President, “it seemed the sun was beginning to shine quite brightly after the years of recession and its immediate aftermath. Then came COVID-19 possibly the worst economic crisis the world has seen.

For us in Nigeria, it was a perfect storm for oil prices, Russia and Saudi Arabia choosing that very moment for a price war. Then the inevitable lockdowns resulting in the closure of businesses, our huge informal economy all but crashed and Government revenues fell too by over 40%.

“But the silver linings were perhaps bolder in the dark clouds.
The President decided that we could seize the opportunity to reset our economy in a way that may have been impossible had there not been a worldwide economic crash.

“I was asked to chair an inter-ministerial team to develop our Economic Sustainability Plan. A plan which we hope will, in the next 12 months or so, avoid a deep and prolonged recession by supporting businesses and households, but perhaps more importantly, addressing long-term structural vulnerabilities.

“Taking into account our economic size and fiscal limitations, we have put together a stimulus package of N2.3trillion, which is just over 1.5% of national income. If other factors like the price of oil and length of the COVID-19 pandemic do not worsen further, these interventions should ameliorate the situation with a mild recession expected of minus 0.59%.”

Other speakers at the international webinar include Lord Marland of Odstock, the Chairman of the CWEIC, Sir Lynton Crosby, Chief Executive Officer C|T Group and the Industry, Trade & Investment Minister, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo.

REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, PROF. YEMI OSINBAJO, SAN, GCON, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AT THE COMMONWEALTH ENTERPRISE AND INVESTMENT COUNCIL FOCUS ON NIGERIA WEBINAR ON THE 14TH OF JULY, 2020

Protocols

Thank you for that kind introduction. I am pleased to be participating in this special session focused on Nigeria. There is never a good time for a pandemic, but there can be a terribly wrong time.

That’s how it seemed three months ago as COVID – 19 began to ravage. January 2020, oil prices approached $70 a barrel for the first time since the crash of 2015/2016 which saw prices crash to sub $30 a barrel, Q3 2019 growth was 2.55%, modest but clearly on the upward trajectory, 3% growth was well in sight.

Our Economic Recovery and Growth Plan was beginning to make sense. Work was on-going in major rail, road and bridge projects along the main national trade corridors. The Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) arrangements on our Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Train 7 which will unlock an additional 30% more LNG output had commenced.

It seemed the sun was beginning to shine quite brightly after the years of recession and its immediate aftermath. Then came COVID-19, possibly the worst economic crisis the world has seen. For us in Nigeria, it was a perfect storm for oil prices, Russia and Saudi Arabia choosing that very moment for a price war. Then the inevitable lockdowns resulting in closure of businesses, our huge informal economy all but crashed and Government revenues fell too by over 40%.

But the silver linings were perhaps bolder in the dark clouds. The President decided that we could seize the opportunity to reset our economy in a way that may have been impossible had there not been a worldwide economic crash.

I was asked to chair an inter-ministerial team to develop our Economic Sustainability Plan. A plan which we hope will in the next 12 months or so, avoid a deep and prolonged recession by supporting businesses and households, but perhaps more importantly, addressing long-term structural vulnerabilities.

Taking into account our economic size and fiscal limitations, we have put together a stimulus package of N2.3trillion, which is just over 1.5% of national income. If other factors like the price of oil and length of the COVID-19 pandemic do not worsen further, these interventions should ameliorate the situation with a mild recession expected of minus 0.59%.

We have taken the opportunity to remove petrol subsidies and to insist that power distribution companies must engage with customers to ensure that new tariffs are based only on improved power supply. We are talking of service reflective tariffs.
The Central Bank of Nigeria is also committing to moving to a unified exchange rate, to improve certainty in trade and investment. In addition to using fiscal and monetary measures to stimulate the economy, our main objectives are to retain and create jobs, to assist vulnerable people, support businesses and undertake infrastructural investments.

I am happy to see from the research that jobs, retaining jobs and creating more opportunities tops Nigerians’ priorities when it comes to what they believe the COVID-19 response should be like.

Some key interventions include: Jobs for Food which is an agricultural programme aimed at expanding the acreage under cultivation across the country, to create, we hope, hundreds of thousands of jobs and we also intend to guarantee uptake processors, aggregators and to some extent, by government.

We also have a Jobs through Homes programme which is a programme to provide jobs and increase our national housing stock, at the same time by a massive social housing programme where we intend to engage young professionals and artisans who are involved at the moment, in small businesses, building and using local products such as cement, doors, tiles, windows and paint.

We also have a Solar Homes Systems Programme where we intend to engage private solar power companies who will be able to access cheap loans to provide modular solar-powered units to about 5 million households which will roughly translate to serve 25 million people in rural or under-served areas.

At the moment, we have about 40million homes without power. So, we expect that this will be a major dent in that deficit.
The scale required means we will be encouraging suppliers to establish production facilities in the country. We expect to be able to attract solar companies to establish manufacturing and assembly plants in Nigeria.

Supporting small businesses is also a priority and I am sure the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment will talk more about it.

We are also looking at the Future of Jobs programme in technology taking into account the ‘new normalʼ, our creative and significant youth population and the need to prepare our economy to be an outsourcing hub, providing services across the whole gamut of possible technology engagements, including animation, software engineering and data analysis.

These are areas where we have invested considerably already and we intend to do a bit more and we hope that some of the efforts we put into the response will address these areas even more pointedly.

To be sure, improving health outcomes is very much part of the package. To meet the immediate challenge, we have dug deep to find resources to respond to the pandemic. We have more built isolation centres and laboratories, incentivizing medical personnel, buying test kits and personal protective equipment, as well as several other medical types of equipment.

We have increased the number of modular laboratories that can handle COVID-19 samples from 5 at the onset of the pandemic to 39 today.

The crisis has also revealed significantly, the vulnerability of our health sector. So, as part of the Economic Sustainability Plan, we are also looking at the universal health coverage, about improving the work we are doing in universal health insurance with a view to universal health coverage by a combination of public finance and mandatory social insurance.
While we are bullish on promoting local production, we remain committed to engaging with our traditional trading partners.

This is in recognition of the potential contribution of trade to growth.
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is pertinent in this regard, but so certainly is also trade with our Commonwealth partners, including the United Kingdom. This was indeed evident from Nigeria’s participation in the UK-Africa Investment Forum held earlier this year. It is particularly noteworthy that intra-Commonwealth trade is projected to rise from an estimated $1trillion this year to $2.75trillion by 2030 and we intend to be a major part of this growth.

It is not news of course that the COVID-19 pandemic has distorted international trade with disruption of global value chains, export bans, and protectionist policies. On our part, Nigeria remains committed to the multilateral trade system but we will ensure that our economy is not subjected to unfair trade practices.

Ultimately, we see Nigeria as ‘Africa’s Gateway Economy’. As the continent’s most populous nation and its largest economy, we think that we can leverage our geographical location, which is right in the middle of far-flung Commonwealth countries, we are poised to catalyze intra-Commonwealth trade. Our investments in fast-growing sectors and infrastructure, power, rail, roads and several other areas especially technology where we think we can benefit from other Commonwealth countries.

Once again, I thank the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council for convening this important discussion especially now, when we certainly see a greater need for socio-economic engagements with our Commonwealth partners and we are set and ready to continue these engagements and we look forward to not just what this particular session will bring but to all our future cooperation.

Thank you very much indeed.

The Bauchi State Administrative Committee of Inquiry into Land Disputes, set up by Governor Bala Mohammed to look into farmers/herders crisis in the state has received a memorandum from a Fulani socio-cultural group, Daddo Pulaku, demanding four percent of the total land area of the state.
The demand was contained in a memorandum submitted by the group to the committee yesterday where it stressed that the government should ensure the full implementation of the Cattle Routes law of Bauchi State, 2018 which enforced the non-cultivation of both sides of all major roads in the state by 30 meters from the drains.
In the memorandum by State Chairman, Muhammad Aminu Tukur, the group claimed that herders were being threatened with intense hostility that were having multiplier effect every year, and on daily basis.
According to the memorandum, “The most pertinent thing being the fact that all those challenging our right to live and choice of occupation are the most gluttonous protein (beef) eaters and addictive milk consumers. Nomadic communities all over the world are never known to be parasites but major contributors to the economy of the nation.”
The memorandum which demanded four percent of total land mass also stated that nomads had ‘serious challenges’ in all the 20 local government areas of the state with the most cases common in Itas/Gadau, Ganjuwa and Bauchi LGAs where some village heads along with land officers are apportioning grazing reserves and cattle routes to themselves and selling to individuals.
“It is a fact that our people suffer most in the hands of village heads, district heads and greedy lands officers in the LGAs. It is our opinion that for a permanent solution to the escalating conflicts between farmers and herders in Nigeria as the most pressing security challenge of our time which has the potential to degenerate into more violence and bloodshed, government at all levels must step in and address the issue squarely no matter whose ox is gored,” the group added.

Ibrahim Magu, suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has described the allegations levelled against him as “nonsense”.
Speaking with The Nation hours after he was released from police custody, Magu said he was shocked when he read the allegations designed to tarnish his image.
He was arrested last week and whisked to the presidential villa in Abuja, where he appeared before a panel President Muhammadu Buhari set up to probe the EFCC under him.
The panel is headed by Ayo Salami, retired president of the appeal court.
“They are nonsense. They are mere trump up allegations to tarnish my image and that of the EFCC. I did not steal or divert or convert funds to private use. I read the allegations and I was shocked,” Magu was quoted to have said.
“What I have gone through is a case of dog eats dog but I see it as one of those risks of the job… we must not give up in any way.”
Magu, who vowed to fight corruption till the end, thanked those who stood by him when he was in detention.
He asked Nigerians not to give up on the fight against corruption, saying: “Corruption kills a nation faster than any other thing.”
“I thank Nigerians for their support, they should not be discouraged. I am happy to be back, I believe the war against corruption is winnable,” he said.
“Whether I am EFCC Chairman or not, the anti-corruption war must continue.”
Magu’s travails followed a memo by Malami accusing him of grave malfeasance. He was alleged to have mishandled the recovered loot and sold seized assets to his associates.
A slew of allegations has come to the fore since his arrest. He was alleged to have purchased a property in Dubai, United Arab Emirate using a pastor as a conduit.
He was also alleged to have laundered over N500 billion through a bureau-de-change in Kaduna.
Magu earlier denied the allegations through his lawyers.
Mohammaded Umar, former director of operations at the EFCC, has taken charge of the commission in acting capacity.

We Don’t Want Him APC Ondo state aspirants reject the choice of Yahaya Bello led Primary Committee say they want someone else
FEAR gripped governorship aspirants in the All Progressive Congress in Ondo state as the national leadership of the party unveiled the Primary Election Committee headed by the Kogi state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.
Aside from this, the aspirants are at a loss as the National Secretariat of the party was yet to officially announce the mode of the primary to be adopted, 72 hours to the election.
The National Secretariat of the party through its deputy national publicity secretary, Yekini Nabena on Thursday had instead announced the committee members to conduct the next week Monday governorship primary election.
Vanguard gathered that aspirants of the party who belong to the Unity Group of the party have expressed deep concern over the choice of Yahaya Bello as the chairman of the election committee.
The eleven aspirants of the party had for the last one week expressed their displeasure over the indirect mode of primary and have even petitioned the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker/Extra-ordinary National Convention Planning Committee kicking against the adoption of indirect primary for the next Monday election
They have also organised a protest in the state capital insisting that they will boycott the primary if indirect mode of primary was adopted.
Vanguard findings indicated that immediately the committee members were announced, the political camp of the other aspirants outside Akeredolu were thrown into confusion as a close ally of the governor was named its chairman.
Speaking with newsmen in confidence, two of the aspirants said the election had been rigged for Akeredolu even before the teal contest on Monday.
One of them said that ” the choice of Bello as head of the panel was not good for those who are opposed to the return of Governor Akeredolu.
According to him, “the development is a major set back for him and others.
He, however, said the “the leadership of the Unity Forum would meet before Sunday to harmonise their interests.
This is a clear answer to the question of manipulation that has been perpetrated by the caretaker committee at the national level. We all know what they have planned but it is most unfortunate.
“Everyone knows how close both Akeredolu and Yahaya Bello are. Akeredolu was his lawyer during the period of the Governor’s travail and we all know what Yahaya Bello and his team came to do here in 2016.
“So it is very clear where they are heading but it is frustrating that they will take us this path after all assurances. Painfully, it does appear the national Caretaker Committee is still doing the bidding of the former chairman.
“We have credible evidence that this Committee had been put in place since the June by the former chairman and this committee didn’t change it at all. It then means that even the issue of the mode will go same way because Oshiomhole had already submitted that before he left.
“We cannot run away from this reality because it is already too late. The leadership of the Unity Forum is likely to meet before Sunday to ensure we prune down our numbers to a manageable level where one will be strong enough to face the battle,” he said.
Contacted, Rotimi Ogunleye, the media aide to one of the aspirants, Chief Olusola Oke said they have not seen the list of the election committee and would not want to comment on what was read on the social media.
*** Akeredolu woo delegates

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos
Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams, has urged the Federal Government to properly investigate the death of Nigeria’s first female combat Helicopter Pilot, Tolulope Arotile, saying the death was suspicious.
Adams, in a statement on Thursday, by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, described the late Arotile’s death as a personal loss, especially, to the Yorubas.
While condoling with the family of the deceased, Adams also urged the International Community, the United Nation,European Union, United States and Britain to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the young and promising girl.
“Nigeria has lost one of its best brains in the military in such a suspicious circumstances. The late Tolulope Arotile’s short span in life was remarkable with a track record of being the first female combat helicopter pilot. The best we can do as a nation is to get to the root of the circumstances culminating in her death”
“As far as I am concerned, reports of her death still remained suspicious to me because her death has raised many questions”
“How would such a promising, young girl be killed by a reversing car within the premises of the barrack? Who drove the car? What was his or her name? Where was the suspected killer at the moment? And what is the present situation? We will like to know, and that is why I am charging the International Community to investigate and look into the circumstances surrounding her death”
Adams, however,said the death of such a promising, young girl has exposed the nation as a country that never values the lives of its citizens, especially, the best and exceptional citizens”
“I take an exception to believe the story surrounding her gruesome murder. Her achievements speak volumes and many in the system may see her rising profile as a threat to the establishment,mostly with her passion towards ending the threats of the dreaded Boko Haram and bandits terrorising the North-west and the rest of the country”.
” I feel the pain of a father whose daughter’s shining light went dim unexpectedly.The sadness of losing a promising girl like Totulope was eternal to her family, because of her talents and dedication to duty, so it should not go the usual way, where our best brains died without any investigation being carried out”
“Tolu’s father said he spoke with his daughter, by 1pm and by 5pm, a few hours later she was reportedly killed by a reversing car and was in the mortuary.That story needs to be investigated because her case is one out of the many deaths of great Nigerians that made positive impacts toward making Nigeria great, and that is one of the reasons people of excellent and exceptional brains find it difficult to serve the country,and they are all over the world doing great”
” I have traveled across the world,and I see many Nigerians doing wonderfully well in their respective disciplines, but they always feel reluctant to come back home,because of the way we treat our best brains, I think this is too bad for the development of our nation. More so, I share in the grief of the family as I pray God to give the family the fortitude to bear the loss”. He said.

Members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs yesterday fumed when an ambassadorial nominee from Edo State, Yamah Mohammed Musa, told the panel his contribution to All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
At the commencement of screening of the 41 non-career and one career ambassadorial nominees, the committee chairman, Senator Adamu Muhammad Bulkachuwa (APC, Bauchi North) had asked the Edo nominee to explain his contribution to APC in his state.
Musa ran into trouble when he told the committee that; “I was in the forefront of party members who conducted primary elections for all our House of Representatives candidates in the South West, one of whom is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.
“I also led the committee that conducted the APC primaries in Akwa Ibom aside other national assignment which contributed to the success of the party at the polls,” he said. His submission did not go down well with the committee members.
Senator Ibikunle Amosun (APC, Ogun Central), told the nominee that what he described as achievement was sham. “Please such exercise is not something you should be referring to as achievement because as party members, we knew what happened then and those behind it.
“We don’t want you to carry this type of mind set to foreign post if eventually confirmed, so the earlier you erased such unbecoming assignments as personal achievements, the better”, he said .
Senator Rochas Okorocha (APC, Imo West), shouted on the nominee to sit properly and warned him not to make such submissions anywhere again as achievements.
The Chairman of the committee, however, rescued the nominee, appealing to his colleagues to allow him take a bow and go.

A court is set to decide Hope Uzodinma's removal as Imo State Governor.
NewsOne Nigeria reports that Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, has adjourned a suit asking the court to restrain Governor Hope Uzodinma from acting as Imo governor.
When the suit filed by the 2019 governorship candidate of the Reform and Advancement Party (RAP), Okere Kingdom, was called on Wednesday, the 2019 Imo governorship candidate told the court that he filed an application praying the court to abridge the time within which the defendants would file their responses.
The defendants have 30 days under the rule of law, to respond but the plaintiff told the court that he made the application for the court to abridge the time due to the urgency of the matter, this is even as the RAP governorship, who is also a lawyer, held that the matter was of constitutional importance because Uzodinma was occupying the seat of Imo governor illegally, having not participated in the 2019 election as a candidate of any political party.
All the defendants in the case objected to the application on the grounds that they needed the time given by the constitution to respond, with Alhassan Umar (SAN), the counsel to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), praying the court that in line with the principles of fair hearing, the defendants needed to take sufficient time as allocated by the law to respond.

Lawmakers in the two arms of the National Assembly, Senate and House of Representatives, insisted, yesterday, that the Special Works Programme designed to create 774,000 jobs for Nigerians remained suspended.
The lawmakers, who were visibly angry at President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive to the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, to go ahead with the programme, warned that there would be consequences if the president failed to reverse his position.
Rising from a closed door session on the matter, yesterday, senators did not only insist that the programme must remain suspended but also asked the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, to meet with the President yesterday or today and report back to them on Tuesday.
Vanguard gathered that the decision for Lawan to meet with the President was to express their grievances to him.
The executive session, which lasted for almost two hours, started at 10.55am and ended at about 12.30.
A source told Vanguard that tempers were high during the meeting, with the senators lamenting that after they had asked the executive to suspend the planned employment of Nigerians in the Special Public Works Programme 2020, President Buhari went ahead to instruct Keyamo to go ahead with the process.
The source said the senators saw this as a slap and asked the Senate President to remind President Buhari that the only way both arms of government could be on the same page was for him (President) to respect resolutions of the Senate.
The source said: “At the closed door session, we resolved as senators that the President of the Senate should meet with President Muhammadu Buhari today (yesterday) or tomorrow (today) and report back to us.
‘’He was asked to tell the President that we are not happy with his idea of rubbishing our decision and to let him know of the consequences.
‘’We were asked not to speak with any journalist in order not to overheat the polity. We will wait for the President of the Senate on Tuesday.”
Reps kick
Although the House of Representatives has not responded as an institution, some members who spoke with Vanguard insisted that the programme remains suspended.
Speaking on the matter, the member representing Ethiope Federal Constituency, Delta State, Ben Igbakpa, said his position was that of the parliament.
He said: “The truth is that as long as the National Assembly is the one appropriating for that project, I think it is very wrong to consider ignoring them because there are other measures the House can take to push its position.
‘’Until the modalities are sorted out, the programme remains suspended. I think that is the position of the National Assembly.”
Reacting in a similar vein, Solomon Marem, representing Mangu/Bokkos federal constituency of Plateau State, said the House has not lifted the suspension on the programme.
He said: “For now, they can go ahead if they want but we will see how it will go because it is within our responsibility to carry out oversight functions; it is through that we can expose corruption, inefficiency and waste in the system.
On his part, Ben Kalu, who represents Bende federal constituency of Abia State and doubles as spokesman of the House, refused to comment, saying: “No comment until we have official details on it from a credible source.”
NBA, Agbakoba, others react
Reacting to the issue, NBA National Publicity Secretary, Kunle Edun said: “There should be no basis for any misunderstanding between the legislative and the executive arms of government regarding the 774,000 menial jobs to be created.
‘’The National Assembly has already voted funds for the scheme and has a constitutional oversight function to ensure that the funds voted for the scheme are used for the purpose intended and for the benefits of Nigerians.
“It is the duty of the executive arm to decide on the best way to execute the scheme. I don’t think it can share that responsibility with the National Assembly. The intervention of the National Assembly at this stage, though may be for a good purpose but it seems too early. The programme has not taken off and I am not aware if there is any complaint of mismanagement of the funds or abuse of the scheme.”
Former President of Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, said it was not the business of the legislature to execute job proposals.
He said: “It’s no business of the legislature to execute job proposal as this is an executive function and to assume power to do so is a naked usurpation of executive function.”
On his part, former Vice President of NBA, Monday Ubani, said: ‘’My position is that it is the prerogative of the executive to formulate and executive policies of government, while the legislature plays an oversight functions.
‘’A situation where the legislature is now trying to determine how policies of government are executed is very dangerous and unfortunate. The President is very right in giving Keyamo the go ahead to execute the progamme meant to create employment for the poor.’’
Also, Gbenga Ojo, Senior Lecturer, Law Faculty, LASU, said: “Executive should execute the programme. It is overbearing by legislative arm of government in Nigeria. Keyamo is right and to serve as precedent to other executive bodies not to surrender their functions to the legislature.”

A leading aspirant in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Ondo 2020 governorship election, Eyitayo Jegede (SAN) has met party delegates ahead primary election.
Jegede had on Monday commenced local government tour to solicit support of party leaders and delegates ahead of Ondo PDP Primaries slated for July 22.
The former Attorney General of the state also unveiled his agenda to accelerate development and bring dividends of democracy to every ward, when election as governor.
The Akure born politician lamented how present administration has commercialised every social services including education, health and others in their desperate attempt to increase state Internally Generated Revenue.
Jegede however promised to make quality education accessible to students irrespective of their parents status, noting that APC governor who increased tuition fee from N35,000 to N180,000- N300,000 enjoyed free education.
He assured the youths of his readiness to create enabling environment that would generate job opportunities, create wealth and make them self reliant.
While speaking on zoning, Jegede said: ''We are not afraid of merit and competition. The only reason we are in this business is to offer good governance to our people and if some people think that they should deny people good governance on the premise of such contrived phenomenon, then I don’t think our people are so unwise to believe that argument. Zoning has no place in the constitution of the party, and it has no place in the regulations of the party. The party has always emphasized on democracy.''
While speaking with journalists in Akure on Wednesday, he expressed optimism that delegates would elect as the Party candidate and would deliver sweet victory for PDP during October 10 governorship poll
The PDP Governorship candidate is being accompanied by some party leaders and elected political office holders from the three senatorial districts of the state.

The crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress led to a drama in the Senate on Wednesday during the screening of some ambassadorial nominees by the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The panel started the screening of 41 non-career and one career ambassadorial nominees on Wednesday.
The nominee from Edo State, Yamah Musa, caused a stir when he was asked by the Chairman of the panel, Senator Muhammad Bulkachuwa, to explain his contribution to the APC in Edo State.
The nominee, who hails from the Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, answered that he ensured total victory for candidates of the APC in the area during the 2019 general elections.
He said, “I was one of the foremost party members who conducted primary elections for all our House of Representatives candidates in the South-West, one of whom is the Honourable Speaker of the House of Representatives , Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.”
But a member of the committee, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, described the acclaimed achievements of the nominee as a sham.
Amosun said, “Please such exercise is not something you should be referring to as an achievement because as party members, we knew what happened then and those behind it .
“We don’t want you to carry this type of mindset to foreign post if eventually confirmed. The earlier you erased such unbecoming assignments as personal achievements, the better,” Amosun said.
Another member of the committee, Senator Rochas Okorocha, also hit the nominee.
He said, “You are here to be screened and possibly confirmed as an ambassador to represent Nigeria and you are reminding us of worst primary elections ever conducted by a political party in Nigeria under a man that had been sent away now.
“I hope you are not being rewarded for the sham you called primaries and injustice done against loyal party members.”
Bulkachuwa, however, came to the rescue of the nominee by appealing to other members to allow him take a bow and go.
The nominee hurriedly left the venue of the screening when he was told to take a bow and go.
Apart from the embattled Edo nominee, the committee also screened Ademola Seriki ( Lagos), Umar Suleiman (Adamawa), Maj. Gen. C.O. Ugwu (Enugu), and Mr Kelvin Peter Adamu (Adamawa), among others.
The exercise continues on Thursday (today).

BREAKING!!! Heavily Armed Policemen Storm Joy Nunieh’s Residence (Photo)
By Wisdom Nwedene
Heavily armed policemen on Thursday stormed the House of Joy Nunieh, the former Managing Director of NDDC, who is scheduled to testify before a House of Representatives panel today as part of the ongoing probe of NDDC.
IGBERE TV gathered that the policemen arrived at Nunieh’s residence at 3 Owuru Creek View, off Herbert Macaulay Street, Old GRA, Port Harcourt, at about 4am.
According to an eyewitness who shared the report to IGBERE TV "Their presence means she cannot leave for the Port Harcourt International Airport, where she should be connecting a flight to Abuja."
IGBERE TV recalls that Nunieh recently accused Niger Delta Minister Godswil Akpabio of trying to “come up” on her after failing to bribe her and convince her to take an oath of secrecy in Abuja.

Father Of Late Combat Helicopter Pilot, Tolulope Arotile, Speaks On Daughter's Last Moments, Says She Fulfilled Childhood Dream
Mr Akintunde Arotile, father of Nigeria's first female combat helicopter pilot, Tolulope, who passed away on Tuesday, has disclosed their last conversation before she died.
Arotile said he called his daughter on the phone on Tuesday at about 1:00pm on her return from an operation against bandits in Katsina State and the two of the had a several minutes chat.
He however, revealed that things took a different turn later in the day when he received a call from a person.
He said, "She told me that she will later go out to make some photocopies and I told her not to be long and to return home on time because she was staying with my first daughter in Kaduna.
"Around 5:30pm, somebody called me and asked if I had called her and I said yes. The person told me to call her again which I did, but there was no response. So, I called her colleagues and they were all crying on phone. I asked what happened, they were just crying.
"I called one of her bosses who told me that she was in the mortuary. I was shocked because said she was somebody I spoke with four hours earlier and by 5:00pm she was in the mortuary."
The bereaved father further disclosed that he had to drive to Lokoja, Kogi State, from Abuja to inform his wife about the incident.
Recalling the early days of his late daughter, Mr Arotile said, "She has not just been brilliant but wonderful. She did all her education from kindergarten to nursery at the Air Force base and Nigeria Defence Academy, Kaduna.
"One day, when she was very small, she pointed to one small aircraft packed on the field and said one day she was going to fly that aircraft, and I said Amen.
"So, from that day she started working towards getting admission into the Nigerian Defence Academy Kaduna. She had a degree in Mathematics and became an Air Force Cadet.
"From there, she was sent on several courses abroad and became a pilot.
"I thank God that she was able to achieve her dreams as a baby before her death."

The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, has told Nigerian doctors planning to emigrate to the United Kingdom to take note of the fact that they will not be paid hazard allowance if they do so.
Ehanire said this during the briefing of the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19 on Thursday.
The minister was responding to a question regarding the failed attempt of 58 doctors to travel to the UK last week.
The PUNCH reports that until June, medical doctors in Nigeria earned N5,000 or $12.95 as monthly hazard allowances
The 58 doctors, who had received provisional employment in the UK, were stopped by the Nigeria Immigration Service at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, last week because they did not have visas.
Ehanire said, “I think we are one of the few countries giving hazard allowance. This UK where they are going, there is no hazard allowance, they don’t give doctors hazard allowance but you just get you salary, that is all because I have spoken to the doctors there.
“They say it is part of your job and that is what you are trained for. They don’t pay you anything but here apart from your salary we try to add something to it with the hope that you will stay. We also appeal to state governments to prioritise employment of doctors some of whom have not been employed.”
The minister said he was also informed that doctors were migrating from the UK hence it was not only a Nigerian challenge.
“Even in the UK they are losing doctors to other countries so they think there is a movement but I think we have to look at our own situation the best way we can,” he said.
The minister said Nigeria would not stop doctors who wanted to emigrate but they must ensure that they have visas.
Ehanire stated, “With regards the 58 doctors, we were all surprised to hear that they were at the airport and it was irregular in that many of them did not have visas. I don’t know what evidence you have whether they have left the country but no one should leave the country without visa.”
He argued that Nigerians who became doctors through subsidised education and scholarship ought to remain in the country and give back to their community.
The minister said this remained an obligation that should take precedence above financial consideration.
Ehanire said, “Those who were trained through scholarship or whose training was subsidised and have jobs here actually have a moral responsibility to give back because even now we have large numbers of Nigerian doctors in the UK, the US and Europe who apply to come here every year and serve even though they weren’t trained here or at the state’s expense.
“It is just a moral obligation. They are called the Diaspora Health Professionals Initiative. Some spend their own money, come with their own equipment even though they owe the country nothing.”

Court orders EFCC to return Saraki’s houses
The Federal High Court in Lagos on Thursday reversed its order forfeiting to the Federal Government two houses in Ilorin belonging to a former Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The court, in a judgment by Justice Rilwan Aikawa, released the houses back to Saraki, while delivering judgment on an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, seeking to permanently forfeit the houses to the Federal Government.
The EFCC had in December last year secured a court order for the interim forfeiture of the houses – Plots No. 10 and No. 11 Abdulkadir Road, GRA, Ilorin, Kwara State – after telling the court that they were acquired with proceeds of unlawful activities allegedly perpetrated by Saraki while he was Kwara State Governor between 2003 and 2011.
But attempts by the EFCC to convert the temporary forfeiture order to a permanent forfeiture order was vehemently resisted by Saraki, leading eventually to the discharge of the temporary forfeiture order on Thursday by Justice Aikawa.
The judge said he found no sufficient basis in the EFCC application and he could not “find my way through” to grant the permanent forfeiture order.
In its application, the EFCC had told the court how it received and investigated “a damning intelligence report, showing monumental fraud perpetrated in the treasury of the Kwara State Government between 2003 and 2011,” when Saraki was the governor of the state.
An operative of the EFCC, Olamide Sadiq said, “Whilst investigation was ongoing several fraudulent transactions were discovered.
“I know for a fact and verily believe that our investigation has revealed the following mind-boggling findings, among others:
“That between 2003 and 2011, Dr Olubukola Abubakar Saraki was the Executive Governor of Kwara State.
“That whilst he held the aforementioned position, the common pattern was that after payment of monthly allocation by the Federal Government to the Kwara State Government, a cumulative sum of not less than N100m will be deposited into the Kwara Government House account.
“That upon the payment of the said N100m, same will, in turn, be withdrawn in cash by one Mr Afeez Yusuf from the Kwara State Government House, Ilorin’s account in bits and brought to the Government House.”
https://punchng.com/court-orders-efcc-to-return-sarakis-houses/
The Court therefore ordered the Economic and financial crimes commission to return the former senate President’s houses.
Justice Rilwan Aikawa, who released the houses to Saraki, said he was not satisfied with the claims of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as to the origin of the properties.
The judge said he found insufficient basis in the EFCC application and he could not “find my way through” to grant the permanent forfeiture order.
Last December, Aikawa granted an order for the interim forfeiture of the houses – Plots No. 10 and No. 11 Abdulkadir Road, GRA, Ilorin, Kwara State – following the EFCC’s ex-parte application.
The anti-graft agency had claimed Saraki acquired the properties with proceeds of “monumental fraud perpetrated in the treasury of the Kwara State Government between 2003 and 2011,” when he was Governor.
“…Whilst he (Saraki) held the aforementioned position, the common pattern was that after payment of monthly allocation by the Federal Government to the Kwara State Government, a cumulative sum of not less than N100m will be deposited into the Kwara Government House account.
“Upon the payment of the said N100m, same will, in turn, be withdrawn in cash by one Mr Afeez Yusuf from the Kwara State Government House, Ilorin’s account in bits and brought to the Government House,” an operative of the EFCC, Olamide Sadiq, said.
The Commission prayed the court to convert the temporary forfeiture order to a permanent one.
But the former lawmaker resisted the application and contented among others that the EFCC’s lawsuit was malicious.
Saraki’s counsel, Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN), also described the EFCC suit as an abuse of court process and an attempt to scandalise him.
He argued it was a ploy by the EFCC to review the July 6, 2018 decision of the Supreme Court “discharging the applicant from culpability arising from the same money and houses which are the subject matter of this action.”

Twenty-five-year-old Victoria Okocha, yesterday, gave a chilling account of how she was abducted by suspected herdsmen in Isa-Ogwashi-Uku area of Delta State, gang-raped and forced to drink another victim’s blood as water, while in her captors’ den.
Okocha left her home town in Ubulu-Uku, Aniocha South Local Government Area of the state last Friday, heading for Asaba, the state capital, when they sighted a fallen tree across the road at Isa-Ogwashi.
Apparently thinking the fallen tree was as a result of the downpour the previous day, the driver, according to her, kept moving toward the direction, until they discovered too late that it was used to barricade the road.
She said: “By the time the driver attempted to reverse, it was too late as a man armed with a cutlass, hit his side window in an attempt to drag him out of the vehicle. Passengers hurriedly jumped out and ran into the bush in different directions.
“But I was unlucky because I had cramps and fell. Another one got hold of me and dragged me into the bush, while the driver, who was inflicted with machete cuts managed to escape.
“They took me far into the bush and demanded N20 million ransom. When I told them my family could not afford that amount because we are poor, they threatened to cut my breasts and pluck out my eyeballs from their sockets if they did not get the amount.
“They were five in number and only one of them could speak English. I was blindfolded and had my hands tied. Five of them took turns to rape me that night.
“When they contacted one of my relatives, Afamefune, he begged that they reduce the amount and they agreed to reduce it to N5 million. I stayed with them for two days before my people could raise some money, which was dropped at a designated place. They also collected N2,000 out of the N3000 cash I had in my bag.
Offered blood to drink
“In my weak state, I begged them to give me some water to drink and they offered me blood. The blood was that of a lady they kidnapped and murdered while I was there. They also drank out of the blood.
“Leader of the gang, who could speak English, told me that their intention was also to kill me because my family did not give them a reasonable amount. But he intervened by sending other members away and told me to run away, showing me the direction to take. I was able to locate the road, where I saw a vehicle that was heading towards the direction of my village.”
Meanwhile, the Police in Delta State, according to her family, had been informed of the incident. But efforts to reach the command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, failed as she could not be reached on her mobile telephone.
But sources at the command said the command had been working round the clock to address the worrisome trend, which kidnapping had assumed in the state, disclosing that some arrests had been made.

The Trump administration on Tuesday rescinded a policy that would have stripped visas from international students whose courses move exclusively online amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The move comes after the policy announcement last week sparked a flurry of litigation beginning with the suit brought by Harvard and MIT, followed by California's public colleges and later a coalition of 17 states.
Judge Allison Burroughs, a federal district judge in Boston who was expected to preside over oral arguments in the Harvard-MIT, made the surprise announcement at the beginning of the court proceedings Tuesday.

The Central Regional Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHT) of the Ghana Police Service (GPS) has arrested two Nigerians at Gomoa Pomadze on suspicion of kidnapping and human trafficking.
According to police, the suspects, Paul Okafor and Duru Favour, are said to be engaged in kidnapping and trafficking of young Nigerians to perpetrate cyber-crime activities in the country.
Briefing the Ghana News Agency (GNA), DSP Irene Oppong, Regional Police Public Relations Officer and Head of the AHTU, said 39 victims, all Nigerians in their twenties, were rescued in the process.
She said on Sunday, July 12, at about 1100 hours, the Winneba District Police Command, acting on information, dispatched a Police Patrol team to Gomoa Pomadze, where they met a 21-year old Nigerian, Charles Ikorohk in the company of three Ghanaians.
She said Ikorohk told the Police team that he arrived in the country from Nigeria on Wednesday, January 22, to visit a friend but could not trace him.
He said he got stranded in Accra where he met one Uzo at the Kwame Nkrumah interchange area, who later introduced him to one Arisuezo, also a Nigerian.
She said Arisuezo brought Ikorohk to Winneba and kept him in a walled house together with other young men from Nigerian.
According to DSP Oppong, Arisuezo prevented his captives from leaving the compound and subjected them to all forms of inhuman treatment and also engaged them in cyber-crime activities.
She said Charles managed to escape on Sunday, July 12 about 0800 hours when he was tasked to weed the compound of the house while their supervisors went out with one of the victims to a Mobile money vendor to withdraw some cash fraudulently received.
She said the police, after receiving a tip-off, quickly went to the house and rescued the 39 Nigerians and arrested the suspects.
Thirty-six laptops were also retrieved from the house. DSP Oppong said the owner of the house was arrested and given a police enquiry bail while investigations were ongoing to arrest Michael Arisuezo and his other accomplices.

A court in the Northern District of Illinois on Monday denied Ramon Abbas aka Ray Hushpuppi bail.
The self-acclaimed ‘Billionaire Gucci Master’, who has over 2.5 million followers on Instagram, will remain in detention until his trial later this year over money laundering allegations, the court said.
Hushpuppi will be transported to Los Angeles by the United States Marshals Service, and will not be allowed to stay with his girlfriend’s uncle in Homewood, Illinois.
His trial is slated to hold in Los Angeles where the case was filed, rather from Chicago where the investigation is being handled, Forbes reports.
Throughout the hearing, Hushpuppi’s lawyer denied that his client was a flight risk or a danger to the community, repeatedly rejecting the allegations made against his client by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s affidavit posted earlier this month.
The primary allegation levelled by the FBI is that Abbas was part of a network that made “hundreds of millions of dollars” from business email compromise frauds and other scams.

• Annual report not submitted to N’Assembly in four years contrary to law
• Ribadu, Farida, Lamorde in full compliance
• SAN seeks bail for suspended anti-corruption chief

The suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu, failed to submit the audited accounts of the anti-graft agency to the National Assembly as required by law, THISDAY learnt at the weekend as critics say he took advantage of the non-confirmation of his appointment by the Senate to avoid accountability leading to his current woes. By Section 37 of the establishment act, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (Establishment, ETC) Act 2004, the commission is required to submit its report, including its audited account to the National Assembly every year.

It states: “The Commission shall, not later than 30th September in each year, submit to the National Assembly, a report of its activities during the immediately preceding year and shall include in such report the audited accounts of the Commission.” Despite the refusal of the Eight Senate to confirm his appointment, first in December 2016, and later in March 2017, the agency was still required by law to submit its annual accounts as done by Magu’s predecessors, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, Mrs. Farida Waziri and Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde in compliance with the establishment Act.

Critics say the insistence of the presidency in keeping Ibrahim Magu in office in an acting capacity, despite non-confirmation may have stalled accountability & oversight of the commission even as the National Assembly approves the agency’s budget every year.
This faceoff with the Senate enabled Magu to operate the way he did without any scrutiny, a development that negated the practice of the commission under his predecessors, Ribadu, Ibrahim and Lamorde, who complied with the provision of the law by submitting their annual reports and audited accounts to the National Assembly.

Analysts told THISDAY at the weekend that the kind of financial fraud, Magu is being accused of could only occur in an unsupervised organisation, adding that had the EFCC put itself through the process of an independent audit, a number of the issues Magu is now being accused of might have been resolved. The Senate had in December 2016 rejected Magu’s nomination as chairman of the commission on the strength of a damning security report by the State Security Service (SSS), which declared him unfit for public office, saying his credibility could not be guaranteed.

Rather than withdraw Magu’s nomination, the presidency represented him in March 2017. Again the Senate refused confirmation and resolved not to consider him again for the position.
The presidency responded by maintaining him in an acting capacity, arguing that it did not require Senate approval for Magu’s appointment since the establish-ment act requiring legislative approval was in conflict with the power of the president to make executive appointments under the constitution. With the Senate resolving not to have any dealing with Magu, the commission became unable to present its annual report to the National Assembly.Analysts said had the reports been filed all of the issues that are being raised now would probably have been detected by the National Assembly.

“With this kind of situation,” said one analyst, “Magu would appear to have operated without supervision by either the National Assembly or the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, as the minister’s petition accusing him of insubordination has suggested.”

According to another analyst, this absence of legislative oversight would have been avoided if the presidency did not insist on having Magu as the boss of the anti-corruption agency. Magu was accosted last Monday and taken before a presidential panel of enquiry led by Justice Ayo Salami, investigating allegations of corruption and insubordination brought against him by his supervising minister, Mr. Abubakar Malami.

Aggrieved Staff Leak Information to AGF’s Office
THISDAY also gathered at the weekend that disgruntled members of staff of the commission have been fingered as leaking vital information about Magu’s activities to the Office of the AGF’s office, paving the way for his ongoing probe by a presidential panel.
Magu is answering questions on the 21-point allegation of financial impropriety and fund diversion levelled against him by Malami.
The panel widened the probe last Thursday as it quizzed the commission’s Secretary, Mr. Olanipekun Olukoyede, and other directors of the commission.THISDAY learnt that the panel summoned the top management officers from the commission to narrate all they knew about the allegations against their boss.

At the end of their conversation, the panel was said to have directed the directors and sectional heads in the EFCC to produce files of cases handled since 2015, including forfeited assets’ register and all cash releases within seven days.
However, some the EFCC officials told THISDAY at the weekend that many of them were disgruntled with Magu’s stewardship and accused him of high handedness and neglecting staff welfare.

They said there was a point Magu owed a backlog of salaries and allowances, adding that they had it tough under his leadership.Magu was said to have worked with a few investigators and operatives called ‘Magu Boys” to the detriment and envy of others, triggering a backlash in the form of leakages of official documents and files. “At a time, workers were owed five months arrears of salaries and allowances and they threatened to take the matter to a popular radio talk show, “Berekete Family,” aired by Human Rights Radio, to express their grievances and call on the management to clear the arrears of salaries and allowances,” a source told THISDAY.
It was learnt that the threat led the EFCC management to intervene after giving several excuses that the agency’s money was held up “somewhere.”At a point, we were owed five months arrears of salaries and allowances. We could not feed our family and do basic things.

“We were organised and threatened to go to Berekete Family (radio show). We gave them an ultimatum, which they could not meet but at the dying minute, they called to say they have found money to pay,” another source, who spoke anonymously, said.He added that the workers queried the position by the management that they found money to pay. He said: “Why do you have to owe for five months and now have to find money to pay? This is a government agency, an important security agency at that. Where were the arrears kept that you had to look for it for five months?”

THISDAY gathered that investigators who worked closely with Magu were allegedly accorded special treatment, which brewed bad blood that eventually led to internal sabotage.When contacted by THISDAY, spokesman of the commission, Mr. Dele Ojewale, declined to comment on the matter.

SAN Seeks Bail for Suspended Anti-corruption Chief
Meanwhile, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Tayo Oyetibo, has called on the federal government to either charge Magu to a court or release him on bail.He said the continued incarceration of the suspended head of EFCC was a violation of Section 35 of the Constitution.
Oyetibo said though the EFCC under Magu was guilty of unlawful detention of Nigerians, the law of Karma had no place in the constitution.In the statement titled “Magu Still Has Rights,” Oyetibo said despite the allegations against him, Magu had not lost his constitutional rights. “On Monday, July 6, 2020 it was widely reported that the now suspended Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, was arrested and taken before the Justice Ayo Salami-led panel of inquiry set up by the president to investigate a number of allegations raised against him. “As of today (yesterday) Sunday 12 July 2020, Magu is reported to still be in detention whilst the investigation of the allegations made against him continues. “Although the allegations made against Magu are said to be documented and border on serious economic crimes and abuse of office, that does not mean that he has lost his constitutional rights.
“Amidst the cacophony of allegations of serious crimes made against Magu, the law of Nigeria still speaks the same language, which is expressed in section 35 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which provides to the effect that every person who is arrested or detained upon reasonable suspicion of his having committed a criminal offence shall be brought before a court of law within a period of 24 hours in the case of an arrest in a place where there is a court of competent jurisdiction within a radius of 40 kilometres otherwise he ought to be released on bail,” he stated.

He added that since there is a court of competent jurisdiction within a radius of 40 kilometres within Abuja where Magu was arrested, he should be taken before the court. “While it may be argued that the EFCC which Magu hitherto headed was notorious for ignoring this constitutional provision in relation to citizens who were arrested under him, the law of Karma has no place under our constitutionalism.
“For these reasons, Magu ought to be released on bail forthwith as otherwise the government would be acting excessively in breach of his rights,” he added.

Global Coalition Writes Buhari over Anti-corruption Fight
In a related development, global groups working against sleaze have said the unceremonious exit of Magu may erode the recent gains in the fight against corruption. World acclaimed anti-corruption groups, Re: Common, Globalwitness, and The Corner House based in Europe said Nigeria has regained unprecedented gains under Magu’s leadership of EFCC and that his removal under the current circumstances may roll back the momentous gains already recorded under his tenure.

Re: Common’s top official, Mr. Lucas Manes, Corner House’s Nicholas Hildyard and Simon Taylor of Global-witness in a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari last week expressed deep concern over the travails of Magu, saying that the former EFCC boss may be a pawn in the desperate attempts by corrupt officials to kill the EFCC or turn the agency into a willing tool of corrupt politicians.
The letter was signed by Manes, Hildyard, Taylor and their Nigerian counterpart, Human and Environmental Development Agenda, (HEDA Resource Centre) Chairman, Mr. Olanrewaju Suraju. “What is going on in Nigeria is of concern to the international community. Mr. Magu has proved himself to be up to the task.His determination to fight corruption is evident by the recovery of stolen funds and properties plus his own high moral ground earned at the cost of diligence and hard work never before seen.
His political removal questions the will of Nigeria to deal with a major cause of the country’s underdevelopment which is corruption,” the groups said in a letter delivered to the Nigerian President. Some of the groups’ most significant contributions to Nigeria’s anti-graft effort are the historic exposure of Nigeria’s top oil companies linked to large scale corruption, their ongoing trial in Italy and other European courts.

The coalition said: “We are therefore greatly alarmed as are others in the international anti-corruption movement by reports that Magu has been detained & or suspended following allegations against him that were reportedly made by Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami directly to you.”

They said the international community is not opposed to Magu being investigated since all allegations of corruption must be thoroughly probed but rather that due process and the proper disciplinary procedures have not been followed.

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state on Tuesday said Pastor Osagie Ize- Iyamu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won’t score up to 30 percent votes in the September 19 governorship election in the state.
Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Crusoe Osagie, the governor’s Special Adviser on Media and Communications said Obaseki currently enjoys up to 80 percent approval ratings in the state.
While rubbishing the claim by Yekini Nabena, the APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary that incumbency factor won’t save the governor, he said they are confident that President Muhammadu Buhari will allow for a free and fair election in the state and will not allow those clamouring for federal might to have their way.
“President Buhari will allow Edo people to exercise their franchise freely and we are confident that when that is done, Governor Obaseki is going to emerge the winner of the election”.
“As we speak today, Obaseki has approval rating of not less than 75 to 80 percent. If the election were conducted today, Ize-Iyamu will not score up to 30 percent of the votes. I can excuse Yekini Nabena because he is faraway in Abuja and doesn’t know the reality on the ground”.
He should go to the markets in Benin, he should visits the motor parks, beer parlours and ask people questions. Out of every 10 persons you ask a question about who they want to vote for, not less than seven of them want to vote for the governor”.
“As far as we are concerned, the election is done and dusted. We are waiting for the election to come and we are confident that Governor Obaseki will win by a landslide”.

The senate has passed a bill seeking to recognise males as rape victims.
The bill passed third reading on Tuesday after a report on it was presented by Opeyemi Bamidele, chairman of the committee on judiciary, human rights and legal matters.
The bill sponsored by Oluremi Tinubu, senator representing Lagos central, is an amendment to the criminal code act CAP C38 LFN 2004.
The is coming after the upper legislative chamber passed a bill to prohibit sexual harassment in tertiary institutions last week.
The legislation is also seeking to remove the statue of limitation on rape cases; hence there is no time limit when rape matters can be decided.
While presenting his report on the floor of the upper legislative chamber, Bamidele said stakeholders at the public hearing expressed divergent views as regards the proposed amendments in the bill.
The Ekiti senator also said life imprisonment has been prescribed for kidnappers.
“The bill will address lingering issues starting with statute of limitation in the prosecution of rape and as well as defilement cases and it will curb the menace which has been on the rise,” he said.
“That the statute of limitation has been omitted from the violence against persons act 2015 which is the prevailing law of the subject matter.
“The bill seeks to amend the criminal code act of 1916 and not that of the states. The bill when enacted will apply to the federal high court
“The senate committee on judiciary, human rights and legal matters to which this bill was referred, having considered same, recommends as follows; that the senate pass the criminal code act CAP C38 LFN 2004 (amendment) bill 2020.”
The bill passed third reading after the senate considered clauses of the bill.
The bill will be sent to the house of representatives for concurrence.

President Muhammadu Buhari has given Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, the go-ahead with the plan to recruit 774, 000 under the Special Public Works Progamme (SPW).
Keyamo confirmed the development to The Nation on Wednesday in Abuja.
The Minister said he has the instructions of President Buhari to proceed unhindered, thereby ignoring the leadership of the National Assembly which asked the Minister to stop the programme.
"I have the instructions of my boss, Mr. President, to proceed unhindered," Keyamo said in a text.
The Minister and lawmakers had been at loggerheads over the implementation of the programme.
The lawmakers had said the Minister did not seek their inputs before putting together members of the 20-man States selection committees inaugurated in June.
They accused the Minister of trying to hijack the scheme from the National Directorate of Employment (NDE), the implementing agency of the project.
But Keyamo, who appeared before members of the National Assembly Joint Committee on Labour, on June 30, accused the lawmakers of seeking to control the implementation of the programme.
After engaging in a shouting march with members of the NASS Joint Committee, Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, called for the suspension of the programme.
However, Keyamo told our reporter on Wednesday that the states selection committees are proceeding already with the programme as planned, following the new directive from Buhari.
He said: "I have instructions from Mr. President to proceed. The states selection committees are proceeding already with the programme. Nothing stopped them before.
"National Directorate of Employment (NDE) are part of the programme. The state coordinators of the NDE throughout the country are the secretaries of those committees.
"We will work hard to meet the timeline but if there is any need for a change we will inform Mr. President."
The Special Public Works Programme is designed to employ 1,000 persons from each of the 774 Local Government Areas of the country.
The programme is expected to gulp N52billion meant for the payment of the participants at N20,000 per month for three months.
The exercise is expected to commence in October.
The 20-man selection Committee for the programme is being chaired by the Director General of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE), Nasir Ladan Argungu and supervised by Kayamo.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has been appointed by the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, as a special envoy to lead the sub-regional body’s mediation mission in Mali
This was made known in a statement issued by his media adviser, Ikechukwu Eze on Tuesday.
As a special envoy, the former President is expected to facilitate dialogue “with all principal stakeholders in Mali, including President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, opposition leaders, civil society as well as religious organisations, towards resolving the worsening socio-political situation in the West African country.”
Dr. Jonathan who is billed to depart for Bamako, the Malian capital on Wednesday was quoted as saying he would do his best to ensure that the mission achieves the desired result.
He also thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for the support of the Nigerian government, including providing an aircraft and other logistics needed to make the assignment successful.
Former President Jonathan, who had led peace missions to many crisis-ridden nations in the past, is expected to deploy his enormous goodwill within the continent to facilitate the process of restoring peace in the troubled nation, the statement noted.
Mali has been hit by protests, fuelled by the outcome of parliamentary elections in March and April, perceived discontent over the government’s handling of the nation’s jihadist insurgency and worsening economic situation.
Jonathan’s appointment was communicated to him in a letter signed by Mr. Jean-Claude Kassi Brou, President of the ECOWAS Commission.
“Given your position as the former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the great role and contributions your tenure offered to the maintenance of peace, security and stability in our region, I have the honour, in consultation with the Chair of the Authority, H.E. Issoufou Mahamadou, President of the Republic of Niger, to communicate to you, the decision to appoint you as ECOWAS Special Envoy for the sociopolitical crisis in Mali,” the letter reads in part.
Dr. Jonathan is to engage in consultations with all relevant stakeholders involved in the ongoing dispute in Mali to ensure that common ground is found in the search for peace.

Unknown to Ibrahim Magu, President Muhammadu Buhari had directed the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate him as far back as 2018, TheCable can report.
The DSS, which has a financial crimes unit, played the central role in unearthing the allegations for which the suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is now facing a presidential probe.
The president was said to have been shocked when the DSS provided a comprehensive dossier on Magu which was “damning”.
“If Magu was a man who can read the signs, he should have asked himself why the president did not re-present his name to the senate for confirmation as EFCC chairman since the new national assembly was inaugurated,” a senior presidential source told TheCable.
The current senate has never turned down any nominee of the president, unlike the previous one which refused to confirm Magu.
However, it would appear Magu eventually got wind of the moves against him as he tried to ingratiate himself with the president.
“He came to the mosque at the presidential villa to say Jumaat prayers along with the president on June 5, but the president was not very comfortable with it,” the source said.
“President Buhari prefers to pray with his family and personal aides, so he was not happy when Magu wangled his way to the mosque after the partial lifting of lockdown.
“An instruction was then issued that he should not be allowed to come to the mosque.”
The trigger for the DSS investigation, according to the source, was the report of the presidential committee on audit of recovered assets.
The three-member committee was inaugurated on November 22, 2017 by Buhari to audit all assets recovered by agencies of the federal government from May 29, 2015 when his government was inaugurated.
The committee was headed by Olufemi Lijadu, with Mohammad Nami and Gloria Bibigha as members.
Lijadu is now the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) while Nami was appointed chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
The committee submitted its report six months behind schedule because of the extent of the work, and the aspect on EFCC “took the president by surprise”.
The report said the EFCC reported a total naira equivalent of N46,038,882,509.87, while the naira equivalent of the foreign currency lodgements were N37,533,764,195.66, “representing a shortfall of N8,505,118,314.21″.
“These inconsistencies cast a serious doubt on the accuracy of figures submitted by the EFCC. It is the committee’s view that the EFCC cannot be said to have fully accounted for cash recoveries made by it,” the report noted.
“While EFCC reported total Naira recoveries of N504,154,184,744.04, the actual bank lodgements were N543,511,792,863.47. These discrepancies mean that EFCC’s actual lodgement exceeded its reported recoveries by N39,357,608,119.43.”
Buhari immediately asked the DSS to investigate Magu.
While DSS identified several properties allegedly owned by Magu in Dubai, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) played a major role in providing intelligence on his alleged financial dealings.
NFIU, the central national agency that handles disclosures and intelligence in the financial sector, used to be under the EFCC but was excised and made an independent body in July 2018 despite Magu’s opposition.

The management of the Niger Delta Development Commission has been inundated by enquiries from stakeholders following allegations that the expanded Interim Management Committee (IMC) misappropriated N40 billion between February 20 and May 5, 2020.
Although most of our stakeholders are aware of the malevolent intentions of those making these allegations, we believe that we owe them a duty of transparency to present the true financial picture of payments by the commission during the period.
We are therefore taking the unusual step of publishing ALL payments made by the Commission between February 20, when the expanded IMC came into office and May 5 when the allegations were made. The list covers the beneficiaries of the payments, the projects which they executed and for which the commission had a contractual obligation to pay, the amount paid and the date and time of payment. The IMC has only paid out N35.3 billion to vendors and contractors within the period. The debts paid cover historical debts to vendors, some of whom have been owed between N1 million and N3 million, for up to eight years. The payments were intended to save lives and livelihoods as well as alleviate the suffering in the region.
Most of the vendors borrowed money from banks to render services to the Commission. Some became very ill and were in hospital. Some of the contractors have died waiting to be paid for jobs they executed for the Commission. There was nothing the Commission could have done than respond to what had become a humane issue. It is pertinent for the Commission to make a few points.
1. The Niger Delta Development Commission is a going concern. As a result, every management inherits both its assets and liabilities. In the case of this Interim Management Committee, it inherited liabilities of N2 trillion. These are for supplies for the running of the Commission, services provided to the people of the Niger Delta in discharge of the mandate of the Commission and projects executed in the nine states. The Commission has a duty to settle contractual claims. Failure to do this in the past has caused the Commission millions Naira in legal fees, endless time in courts and garnishee orders on its account. The mandate handed down to this IMC by Mr President through the Hon Minister of Niger Delta Affairs is that the Commission must change the ways of the past. Acting responsibly in honouring obligations is part of that change ethos.
2. The Commission carried out a verification and valuation of the debts it settled. Some of the claims were higher but at the end of verification were reduced. The Commission also refused to pay fraudulent claims even though they were pushed by powerful forces. The case of 132 claims, amounting to N6.4 billion, for skills acquisition programmes which were never executed is but one example.
3. From the list we are publishing today, no payment was made to the supervising minister, Senator Godswill Akpabio, (the Honourable Minister of Niger Delta Affairs) or any member of the IMC or any person related to them. All the payments were for debts incurred before the IMC came into office or Senator Akpabio became supervising minister. In other words, these debts cover transactions that predate the Hon Minister and the IMC. This clarification has become necessary because of the antics of chartered character assassins stomach, propagandists and voices for hire who have accused the Hon Minister and the IMC of phantom, phoney and illusory financial infractions at the Commission.
4. The IMC has not awarded any contract, since its inception, apart from the N6.25 billion COVID 19 intervention approved by Mr President. That approval saved lives in the region. The COVID contract had three components: procurement of medical equipment, supply of food palliatives and public enlightenment. The Commission procured 27 trilogy, 202 ventilators, 65 ECG Machines, 54 RT PCR Machines, 18 APC smart digital UPS 5KVA, 36 infra red thermometers, 18 double jar suction machines, 18 Fluid warmers, 18 multi parameter patient monitors, 94 standard ICU beds, 95 oxygen cylinders, 95 oxygen masks, 95 infusion pumps, 18 mobile X-ray machines, 18 mobile ultrasound machines, 18 mobile dialysis machines, 18 arterial blood gas machines, sanitizers and syringe pumps. All the procured equipment have been distributed to the nine Niger delta states and received by the state governors. Beyond COVID 19, this intervention has boosted the healthcare delivery capacity of the nine states. Food palliatives have been supplied to vulnerable people in all the states in the region. The public enlightenment campaign has been effective in creating the right awareness and changing attitudes. We are grateful to Mr President for this intervention, which have saved lives in the region.
5. As the IMC has not awarded any other contract, it means it has not paid for any contract for which it initiated.
6. The President has ordered a forensic audit on the Commission operations of the Commission for the past 18 years. That audit will value and verify all claims against the Commission. It will also bring to account those who looted the commonwealth of the people of the Niger Delta to fund their ego and inordinate greed for luxury and power. The task of the IMC is to provide the enabling environment for the exercise to succeed. This involves providing the auditors with unhindered access to project files, accounting documents and staff; security for the team in the nine states, and media/ communications/community relations support.
7. We believe that the Commission's debt mountain of N2 trillion Naira will be reduced at the end of the forensic audit exercise. The Commission has made this publication for the sake of transparency. We believe this will reassure our stakeholders of the high level of probity, integrity and sense of responsibility being brought into the running of the affairs of the Commission by the IMC. As for those who relish in making wild allegations, in the vain and unrealistic hope that they can distract the IMC to truncate the Forensic Audit exercise, we say that they have failed. Judgment day is nigh!

The Ondo state Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, said he is still in the state Governorship race come October 20, 2020.
According to a statement released and singed by Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Ojo Oyewamide, on Sunday, in Akure, the governor said news of his disqualification was just adistraction aim to deceive the public and devert their attention to the opposition party.
The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) report that the screening which was scheduled for July 8 to July 10 in Abuja, was for the 12 APC governorship aspirants in the state.
However, the governor urged all his supporters to disregard the rumour and dedicate this period to God for His continuous grace, favour and protection.
The statement reads:
The wisely circulated rumour, especially on the social media that the Ondo State Governorship Election Screening Committee of the APC has disqualified Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN from participating at the Party Primary scheduled for July 20 is untrue.
This is yet another distraction unleashed with the aim of deceiving the unsuspecting public and diverting attention from the self-imposed pains on the part of those behind the story. It is clearly, coming from those who have chosen the perfidous political path.
Governor Akeredolu is not just participating at the Party Primary. He shall be re-elected by the Grace of God come October10, 2020.
The Governor therefore, appeals to all his supporters to ignore the rumour and dedicate this period to God for His continuous grace, favour and protection.
It’s a ploy to distract you. They are scavengers and will stop at nothing to sustain their trade of deceit. Ignore them. Remain firm. Be dedicated and be prayerful”, the Governor says.

Femi Fani Kayode, politician and former minister of Aviation shared his views about the embattled former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu who was recently suspended by President Buhari over allegedly corruption charges.
According to Femi Kayode, he said what's happening to the suspended EFCC chairman has been planned long ago and the actual plan was to get those Magu work for and protected for the last four years. He went ahead to say he, Magu didn't work for Buhari but Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu and the Vice President of Nigeria, Yemi Osibanjo.
He shared this in a tweet....
What is happening to Magu today was planned years ago. The real target is not Magu but those he worked for and protected for the last 4 years. He NEVER worked for Buhari. He worked for Tinubu & Osinbajo. When they finish crushing him they will move against his two godfathers.

"I think I made a mistake. I thought this was a hoax, but it's not."
Those were the final words of a 30-year-old patient who died at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio this week after attending a so-called "COVID party," according to the hospital.
Dr. Jane Appleby, chief medical officer for Methodist Hospital and Methodist Children’s Hospital, said in a recorded statement that the unidentified patient told nurses about the party, which she said is hosted by someone diagnosed with coronavirus.
"The thought is people get together to see if the virus is real and if anyone gets infected," Appleby said.
Appleby said she shared the story not to scare people, but to make sure they understand that the virus can affect anyone.
Bexar County, where San Antonio is located, currently has 18,602 confirmed cases, with an increase of 923 on Friday, according to the Department of Health.
The age range with the most cases were in people aged 20 to 29, making up 24%, and 30 to 39, making up 20%, according to the department.
Appleby said her hospital is seeing more cases in people in their 20s and 30s.
She said while some can be treated and discharged, others become seriously ill.
Appleby warned that the virus "doesn't discriminate" and encouraged the public to wear a mask and stay home as much as possible.

Akpabio: Corruption, Lack of Patriotism Crippled NDDC for 19 Years
• Says ongoing forensic audit will be ready December
• Explains dismissal of Joy Nunieh, NDDC’s former MD
The Minister of Niger Delta, Senator Godswill Akpabio yesterday said endemic corruption, lack of patriotism and the entrenched culture of patronage had crippled the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) from delivering its mandate to the people of the region in the last 19 years of its operations.
Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, also said all these challenges informed the decision of the federal government to commission forensic audit into NDDC’s operations between 2001 and 2019, noting that the report of the forensic audit would be ready before the end of the year.
He made these clarifications on Arise News, a sister TV arm of THISDAY Newspapers Group yesterday, absolving himself of corruption allegations made against by the NDDC’s former Managing Director, Ms. Joy Nunieh.
Nunieh had accused the minister of serial corrupt practices. She had alleged that during her brief tenure at the commission, Mr Akpabio repeatedly pressured her to take “an oath of secrecy” that was meant to keep her from exposing fraud at the commission.
Nunieh, who was relieved of her appointment after confrontation with the minister, said: “For instance, he told me to raise a memo to fraudulently award emergency contracts for flood victims in the Niger Delta. I would have been jailed if I had succumbed to Akpabio’s ‘oath of secrecy.”
Defending his decision to reposition the interventionary agency on Arise News yesterday, the minister alleged that the NDDC had failed to deliver to the people of the region almost two decades after its operation.
For 19 years, the minister alleged that nothing “can be seen on ground in the NDDC because of corruption and because people see it as a place for patronage. For 19 years, NDDC could not even buy a house they could use as an office.”
Asked to explain the factors responsible for the failure of the NDDC, Akpabio claimed that the commission “had been a place for election matters before he assumed office. If you want to contest elections, all you need is to get into the NDDC; make money there and contest elections.
“Unfortunately, so many that made the money never won elections. They did not win the election because they contested with blood money. If the previous managing directors and chairmen of NDDC used the right contractors or have love for the region, they could have done far better.”
He lamented that the NDDC “has existed for 19 years. No one can pass through the Warri-Sapele road every year when it is raining. It is just 45 kilometres. It is a road we can award to fantastic company and people will say this is the NDDC road.
“If you do not love your children, you cannot give them the best. If you bring in those who do not love the region, they move their pocket forward instead of moving the region forward. I do not care about any allegation.
“What I care about is that things cannot remain the same again. In less than eight months, we have moved the managing director and other executive directors to the permanent site. It is an 18-storey building. It is totally finished. But it is 96 percent complete. Under 18 months, that is a will.
“What has happened in the NDDC is the people go there to steal the NDDC. If they attempt to steal the NDDC, then it means there will be no benefit for the people of Niger Delta.
“But they are paying N300 million annually as rent in the place they are using as an office in Port Harcourt. There was a building started under Oil Mineral Producing Area Development Commission (OMPADEC). Yet, they could not complete it.
“When I was appointed the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, I prayed to God. I asked God to give me the ability to take insults that will come my way. At the same time, I asked God to give me the wisdom to turn around the Niger Delta.
“Of course, I expected all these things coming my way. If you place a seed, that seed must first die before it germinates. The NDDC must go through this process before it stands. We must give kudos to the president.”
Besides the proliferation of corrupt practices, the minister also identified paucity of funds as NDDC’s major challenge. He said the commission “needs more than what it is presently getting.”
He acknowledged that NDDC’s previous chairmen and managing directors “tried their best. I believe they tried their best in their own way. Unfortunately, because of paucity of funds, they could not make much impact.”
On the forensic audit, the minister disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari specifically said when he assumed office that it would not be business as usual again in the commission.
He added that this resolve explained why all the governors of the nine states “agreed that we should undertake forensic study.
“The NDDC started in 2000. But its operation commenced in 2001. The audit would cover a period between 2001 and 2019. So, you do not expect those who have been eating fat, even the staff members to be happy with it.
“The report of the forensic audit has not been made public because we are yet to visit state offices. Just last Wednesday, I approached the FEC and prepared the memo for the forensic auditors, who are going to the state. The forensic audit will be completed before December 2020 no matter the allegations.”
On the corruption allegations against him, Akpabio advised the former acting managing director “to go to the hospital; see a doctor; get some injection and relax.”
Asked whether Nunieh was sick, he said: “I am not saying anything is wrong with her. But something is wrong with her temperament. You do not need to ask me. But you ask about four other husbands she married.
“She was not relieved of her appointment because of corruption. But she was relieved of her appointment because of insubordination. My ministry that supervised her wrote seven letters to her. She never responded. And then she said she was bigger than the Minister of Niger Delta.”

Exclusive!!!
About 100million barrels of crude oil illegally shipped from Nigeria in 2015, kept in tank farms in Qingdao, China’s eastern Shandong Province, was secretly sold for $800million, and the money shared by ranking members of the President Mohammadu Buhari cabal, Pointblanknews.com investigations have revealed.
Buhari’s late Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari, Late Group General Manager, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Maikanti Baru, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, Minister for Power, Saleh Mamman, as well as the current GMD, NNPC, Mele Kayi were reported to have shared of the $800 million.
Also reported to have participated in the sharing was the now suspended acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, Air Commodore Mohammed Umar Rtd, former Director-General, State Security Services, Mallam Lawal Daura. Codenamed “The China Deal” illegal crude oil sale has become a subject of litigation in far-away Mexico following the refusal of the cabal to pay 5% of the value of 48 million barrels to SAMANO, an Americo- Mexican company that discovered the abandoned crude in Qingdao, Zhoushan and Rizhao, both in China.
Sources told Pointblanknews.com that shortly before the 2015 general elections, several vessels of crude left the shores of Nigeria for China. By the time the crude berthed in the Chinese Port in Qingdao, oil buyers backed off after learning of a change of government.
According to Pointblanknews.com source, the crude which had been discharged in several tank farms in the port city of Qingdao, Zhoushan, and Rizhao, were abandoned.Upon Buhari’s inauguration, sources in Mexico told Pointblanknews.com, SAMANO approached certain officials of the new administration, alerting them of the Nigerian crude oil abandoned in China.
According to a court paper exclusively obtained by Pointblanknews.com SAMANO, received a letter in August 2016 from Hamman Saleh, now Minister of Power, through his company, Northon Oil and Gas Services, inviting them to Nigeria to meet with Government officials to discuss the matter.
Sources confirmed to Pointblanknews.com that the invitation letter to SAMANO came after the company refused to send details of the found crude via electronic means. A team from SAMANO, Mexico, led by Messrs. José Salazar Tinajero, arrived in Nigeria. He was accompanied by A. Nick Cadena, and Juan Carlos Jaramillo García, and they held a meeting at No 1 Gado Nasko Close, Asokoro, Abuja, the home of Air Commodore Umar, a close ally of President Buhari.
Sources told Pointblanknews.com that after the meeting, and with Buhari’s approval, Umar and other members of the cabal, including Mele Kyari, then GGM Crude, NNPC, set out to locate the crude oil
Sources said when Umar and Kyari got to China, they connived with others back in Nigeria and agreed to declare that the information was a hoax and that there was no crude oil in any of the tank farms in China.
According to a sworn affidavit, Umar and late Abba Kyari had assured SAMANO of 5 percent of the total value of 48 million barrels of crude oil found. However, to their shock, between October and November 2015, SAMANO officials who had returned to Mexico, received intelligence from China that the crude had been sold.
The affidavit claimed that when SAMANO confronted the Nigerian government about their own share of the sale of the crude, they were rebuffed and some of their officials blackmailed, arrested, and locked up in Nigeria. The affidavit alleged that the GMD NNPC, Mr. Kyari, had told a SAMANO representative via WhatsApp chat that the late Abba Kyari and Umar had taken advantage of the information they provided and sold-off the crude and that they should forget about the deal, promising to make things up for SAMANO.
A very reliable source told Pointblanknews.com that after the sale, the Nigerian officials shared the proceeds and told President Buhari that the buyers were no longer willing to buy the crude because it had no DNA.
According to the sources, crude oil secretly shipped to China in 2015 was over 100 million barrels. SAMANO was only able to trace 48 million barrels. The cabal was said to have found an additional 52 million barrels stored in other tank farms in China and sold them off.
SAMANO’s lawyer, Joaquin Esparza Mendez, told Pointblanknews.com that the Mexican Court could not continue with the matter for lack of jurisdiction. He said the Judge had advised they file the case in Nigeria since the Whistleblowers Act for which they are relying on is domiciled in Nigeria.
Sources informed Pointblanknews.com that officials of SAMANO have no faith in the Nigerian judicial system and are very unlikely to file the case there. Instead, the Mexican company is said to be preparing to file the matter in a court in London once the pandemic is over.
Pointblanknews.com is in possession of documents relating to the crude deal, Vessels used, WhatsApp Chats, and others and will make them public as we continue to dig into the dirty deals.

Zinedine Zidane praised the "phenomenal" Thibaut Courtois after Real Madrid took another step towards the LaLiga title with a win over Deportivo Alaves.

Madrid kept a clean sheet for the fifth straight game, recording a 2-0 win on Friday to move four points clear of rivals Barcelona with three games remaining.

Zidane lauded Courtois, who made four saves in Madrid's win as Karim Benzema netted a penalty before Marco Asensio's second-half goal.

"He has a very big influence. He is our goalkeeper, what he is doing every game is phenomenal," Madrid coach Zidane told a news conference, via AS.

"It is a matter for everyone when it comes to defending … today, he [Courtois] has been good for us with two or three stops, and then the strength of the entire team.

"We have to continue like this."

Madrid scored a penalty for the third straight game, while the VAR was needed to award Asensio's goal after it was initially ruled out due to an offside decision against Benzema.

As another clean sheet helped Madrid, Zidane said he was happy with his team, who are away to Granada on Monday.

"I'm not worried because the important thing is to win matches," he said.

"We didn't score four or five goals, but because there is an opponent who defends. We scored two goals, one very beautiful in play.

"I am happy and calm with what we are doing."

Gal Pissetzky, lawyer to self-proclaimed ‘Billionaire Gucci Master’ Ramon Abbas a.k.a Hushpuppi has defended him amid allegations of being involved in fraud and money laundering.

Hushpuppi’s lawyer who spoke to Forbes, insisted that he is “an entrepreneur” who made his money legitimately through “real estate” and his work “promoting brands” as an “Instagram personality.”

Recall that an FBI affidavit alleges that the suspected Nigerian fraudster “conspired to launder funds stolen in a $14.7 million cyber-heist from a foreign financial institution.” The date and amount mentioned in the affidavit matches that of the attack on Malta’s Bank of Valletta in February 2019.

He was also accused of being involved in a fraudulent scheme which defrauded a New York-based law firm of approximately $922,800 through a combination of computer hacking and social engineering.

Pissetzky told Forbes that his client was running a legitimate business and a very legitimate Instagram account, and did not take part in any scam or fraud. He said;

“Absolutely not guilty of [the] charges they are accusing him of. Abbas was running a legitimate business and a very legitimate Instagram account and did not take part in any scam or fraud.”

On how Abbas paid for his lifestyle, Pissetzky said;

“He’s an entrepreneur. He has real estate involvement … [he’s] an Instagram personality. He was promoting brands and that’s how he was very legitimately making his money.”

On his relationship with Premier League footballers Tammy Abraham and Ezri Konsa, his lawyer added;

“Mr Abbas is friends with a lot of people. Somebody who has that many followers – obviously he knows and has friends in a lot of places … it’s all legitimate.”

Hushpuppi who is currently being held at MCC Chicago pending a bail hearing, faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. A hearing in Chicago on Monday July 13, will determine if Abbas will be detained pending trial.

A Nigerian man identified simply as Kefi on Twitter has taken to his page to share his experience after a Twitter user advised that it is important to date someone that draws you closer to God. According to Kefi, the advice is a sham as he has had his own fair share of such experience while in a relationship.

Kefi recalled the time his ex-girlfriend who was making him do dry fasting for 3 days every month, was sleeping with one of the pastors in church.

He recalled when his ex-girlfriend who was making him do dry fasting for 3 days every month, was sleeping with one of the junior pastors. “This is a scam! Draw yourself to God by yourself, my ex was making me fast(dry) for 3 days every month, she would get mad if I miss mid-week service to watch UefaCL. But she was f**king one of the junior pastors in Woolwich.” he tweeted.

- Tinubu ordeal Is A Judgment From God - Bode George
- Pulling ACN Bloc Out Now Will Be Premature- Ubani

Despite the far-reaching deci­sions taken by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ruling All Progressives Con­gress (APC) last week, the crisis rocking the party appears far from being over, Daily Independent has gathered.

Findings by our correspondent revealed that some loyalists of Asi­waju Bola Tinubu, National Leader of APC, who are apparently miffed by the latest devel­opments in the party, are demanding a pull-out of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) fold from the APC fam­ily on the basis that there are plans by some power brokers to muscle out Tinubu from the affairs of the party.

It would be recalled that the APC came into existence in February 2013 following a merger that involved the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) led by Tinubu, Con­gress for Progressives Change (CPC) led by President Mu­hammadu Buhari, All Nige­ria Peoples Party (ANPP) led by Ogbonnaya Onu, and a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) led by Rochas Okorocha, former gov­ernor of Imo State.

Following the multiple liti­gations and leadership tussle in the party which led to the suspension of the National Chairman, Adams Oshiom­hole, President Buhari and the NEC last Thursday dis­solved the National Working Committee (NWC) and con­stituted a Caretaker/Extraor­dinary Convention Planning Committee headed by Gover­nor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe, to reset the party.

Though sources said he was not in support of the meeting, Tinubu, in a state­ment at the weekend, praised President Buhari, saying he acted like a true father to save the party from disintegration with the dissolution of the NWC.

He also appealed to mem­bers of the dissolved NWC to sheathe their sword and see the larger picture of the de­velopment.

Tinubu also declared that he had not made a decision on contesting the 2023 pres­idency, expressing pity for those who insinuate that President Buhari had ended his purported 2023 presiden­tial ambition with the NWC’s dissolution.

A key loyalist of Tinubu and former member of the House of Representatives, who spoke on condition of anonymity with our corre­spondent, said all was still not well within the party.

He said the CPC wing of the APC was trying to hijack the party while scheming out other political parties that contributed to the success the APC enjoys today.

“Honestly, if we want to be sincere, APC is APC. Follow­ing the merger, we shouldn’t be talking of ACN, CPC, ANPP, APGA or nPDP again.

“In 2013, we all agreed to bury our various political parties and queue behind a single political entity called the APC.

“Nigerians believed in us, retrieved their mandate from the PDP and gave it to us in 2015.

“But if you have been following events before and after the 2019 general elec­tions, it is very clear that the CPC wing is trying to sideline other political parties in the arrangement, especially the ACN, which is the dominant party in the merger.

“They have been playing hide and seek, but last week they decided to show their true colour with what hap­pened at the NEC meeting.

“I can assure you that Asi­waju Bola Tinubu was not carried along in the whole arrangement.

“I read his statement on Saturday approving the de­cisions taken at the NEC but I must tell you he did that just because he is a loyal par­ty man and elder statesman who will always do every­thing to protect the image of the party.

“But we, his loyalists, have been discussing. We are un­happy with what is happen­ing and we won’t hesitate to pull out if we get the green light to do so.”

Also speaking, Mikhail Balogun, another loyalist of Tinubu, said there were plans to cripple the ACN bloc led by Tinubu by some pow­erbrokers in the APC.

“I don’t think the crisis in the APC is over. Far from it! From what is happening, the Northern plot is on.

“I have a feeling that the APC is planning to field a Northern presidential candi­date and the nomination of Governor Mai Mala Buni, a core CPC member, as the Caretaker Committee chair­man, is part of the strategies to realise that plan.

“I have a feeling that the Yobe governor will definite­ly conduct a convention that will throw up a chairman who will deliver a Northern agenda. Let’s just wait and see,” he said.

Speaking on the latest de­velopment, Chief Olabode George, a former Deputy Na­tional Chairman of the Peo­ples Democratic Party (PDP), said Tinubu’s latest ordeal in the APC did not come to him as a surprise.

George, who said Tinubu was already receiving judg­ment from God, added that the problem of the former Lagos State governor be­gan when he started laying claims to being the ‘nation­al leader’ of the party even though he occupied no elec­tive position.

He argued that in a pres­idential system of govern­ment, the president is the national leader in a ruling political party and not any individual, no matter how highly placed.

He said: “From the very beginning, I used to tell them that the party, APC, is a con­gregation of strange bedfel­lows. When you have a big party like that and someone wants to hijack it, there will be a problem.

“First of all, it is a misno­mer in a presidential system for a man who is not elected into any position to come out and say he is the national leader of the party.

“How is that possible? There is only one national leader of the party and that is the president.”

When asked if Tinubu should pull the ACN bloc out of APC as being canvassed by his loyalists, George said: “That is his decision. I can’t decide for him.

“For me, when you start seeing the signal, if he is a very clever person, he will recall himself and have a deep introspection.

“If he thinks he can run Nigeria the way he did to La­gos, he is making a mistake,” he added.

Also speaking, Monday Ubani, a former Second Vice-President of the Nige­rian Bar Association (NBA), said it would be very prema­ture for Tinubu to pull out of the APC now.

“It will not be wise for him to pull out now because un­less he has concrete evidence that he has been sidelined, it is just speculation based on what just transpired recently.

“Among the political parties that joined forces to form the APC, the ACN led by Tinubu was the major part­ner in that venture.

“I don’t think it will be right for him to be advised now to pull out. It will be very premature for him to do so,” he said.

Popularly known as MC Fish, and his wife, Anita Joseph, are undoubtedly one of the most talked about showbiz couples on social media at the moment.

Prior to getting married, Anita was known for her sensual dressing and the romantic roles she played in movies. However, her husband has maintained that he wouldn’t limit her in playing romantic roles. He told Saturday Beats, “Before we got married, I knew her as an actor and I am okay with her job. Sometimes, when I watch those (romantic) scenes in her movies, I tease her and make her re-enact those scenes for me. My wife and I have very good understanding and she is mindful of the extent to which a romantic scene can go.”

Asked if ‘hype men’ were beginning to get the recognition they deserved, he said, “Yes, I think ‘hype men’ are gradually getting their accolades because at any event you go, you would see hype men. What stand me out from my peers are my style, charisma and personality. I believe I’m one of the most stylish ‘hype men’ in the country.”

Michael, who got married to Anita in February, maintained that his marriage has been sweet and peaceful. “Marriage is sweet, peaceful and also loving. All these are based on the fact that I married the woman I love and my best friend. She is my back bone and my entire support system. I thank God that I met her,” he said.

On how he has been coping being married to a fellow entertainer, the MC said, “I am coping very well. When other people find it hard to cope, I advise them to join forces. Throughout this COVID-19 period, me and my wife combined our resources to give out good content on social media. I always advise that when two people in the same industry get married, it’s advisable to combine forces for greater results.”

Michael also noted that he handled negative social media comments by growing a thick skin. He said, “There’s no other way to handle negative comments from social media than to have very thick skin. It is certain that some people would like one and some would dislike one. Either way, if they don’t talk about one, then one is a nobody. Sometimes when we see those comments, we laugh about them. Me and my wife know that people will always talk.”

Stop, harassing,arresting doctors over patient's death - NMA

The Nigeria Medical Association, Anambra state chapter , has decried incessant harassment and arrest of doctors in the state over patients' death.

The NMA chairman in the state , Dr. Jide Onyekwelu stated this during his acceptance speech after his election.

He regretted society's negative perception of doctors, which he noted had contributed to the blame of death cases in the hospital to negligence.

He wondered why doctors whose primary duty was to save lives would be treated as common criminals anytime a case of death was recorded in the hospital.

He said, "The doctor is faced with lots of challenges. The doctors primary duty, ordained by God and by his training is to save lives, promote and rehabilitate dysfunctional health and superintend transition to death.

"How come a patient dies in a hospital and society blames the doctor for the death? How come the aggrieved patient's relatives connive with security agents to arrest and detain the doctor, treating him like a common criminal?"

The NMA chairman maintained that no doctor would deliberately allow his patient to die, stressing that it was only natural for human to die, and most times in the hospitals.

He added, "Doctors stake their lives and safety to render healthcare, but the system sees it as obligatory service that does not require compensation and appreciation.

"Hence, how come doctors must go on strike to press home their demands for payment of salaries? How come doctors must strike for government to provide personal protective equipment to protect them from their life-threatening duty?"

He ejoined the public to stop harassing doctors but seek proper channels of redress in the event of the death of their own than resorting to harrasement, arrest and detention of doctors.

He appealled to the Anambra Governor, Willie Obiano to redeem the N10m pledge for the commencement of the NMA Secretariat in the state ,expected to house cancer treatment and research centre.

BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTS NOT ABOUT RACISM BUT IMPLANTING MICROCHIPS – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy Church has come out with a shocking allegation regarding the current protests which have rocked the world in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd by police officers in USA.

Oyakhilome, who was in the news recently for falsely claiming the installation of 5G technology was connected to the coronavirus outbreak, stated that the ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests in USA were not about racism but a subtle ploy to implant “microchips” into citizens as a means of controlling them.

“It’s not about the guy that died; it’s not about ‘Black Lives Matter’,” Oyakhilome said in a program broadcast on LoveWorld titled ‘Global Day Of Prayer’.

“It’s part of the game. They want to come in with the alternative method for security – total control with microchips. That’s what it’s about,” he claimed, adding that police would be ‘disbanded’ and everyone would be forced to have a ‘microchip’ implanted into them.

“Look at the people rampaging on the streets – they are not black people… It is not about racism,” he asserted without any corroborating evidence.

Oyakhilome made several other disturbing allegations, insisting that the guidelines given by the government to reopen the church were not guided by science but rather an attack on the church.

“Wearing facemasks is dangerous for your health. How can we know this and prescribe it? I have told you of the dangers of social distancing. It’s inhuman… There is no science behind it,” he stated in the broadcast.

Oyakhilome described the ‘lockdown’ as illegal and said it was actually citizens getting ‘locked up’.

“The lockdown was wrong and, in most instances, illegal,” he continued. “The truth of the matter is around the world, we were imprisoned… It was house imprisonment.”

“This fraud must be judged by God,” the controversial pastor continued, claiming that many pastors were actually getting paid to advocate for the closure of churches to the governments.

“Go ahead. Build the concentration camps and call them isolation centres. Pay for them or get paid – because now you have a contract,” he said, warning that no Christian pastor should “profit” from the situation.

Pastor Chris further insisted that 'virtual prayer' could not replace physical laying on of hands, reiterating his recent statement that pastors should not be restricted from 'laying hands' on congregants when services resume.

Oyakhilome’s rhetoric in the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak has become increasingly divisive and erratic, with many labelling him a ‘conspiracy theorist’.

The broadcast in which he made the allegations on Friday 26th June 2020 has since been removed from Oyakhilome's YouTube channel although other versions of it can still be viewed online.

A retired banker who once worked in one of Nigeria's banks has given reasons why married men are expected to open a joint account with their legally married wives and even if they are not married legally.

In his tweet on Twitter, he urged people to marry responsibly and that marriage should be a one way ticket, because once God starts blessing you, you will need to make your wife a co-signatory in all your accounts.

He said he has worked in banking sector for decades and have seen how lot of cash are eventually been mopped up in dormancy, as there is no co-signatory to the accounts and the owner is dead already.

He said when most people die, their partners are not aware that they have such huge amount of money in bank as thus, the bank will mop the deceased's money and turn it to their own out of dormancy.

He said, for those whose partners knows they have such huge amount in bank, lawyers will be the one to take the larger part, as he helps in fighting for the case.

So, the best thing for married couples to do is to make their wife a co-signatory to their account, so that when death comes, all they have to do is to present the death Certificate of their husband, which will involve no lawyer.

The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has said that the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management did not allocate N-Power recruitment slots to him.

An online medium (not The PUNCH) had published that some lawmakers printed out application forms from the portal of the N-Power scheme which is expected to be shared to the beneficiaries of the slots allocated to them.

But Lawan, in a statement on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Media, Ola Awoniyi, said the publication which linked him to the claim was untrue.

The statement read in part, “We hereby advise members of the public to totally disregard the fake and malicious publication in its entirety as regards the Senate President.

“It should be noted that the fairytale only claimed that some lawmakers printed out application forms from the portal of the scheme but failed to provide any evidence that this was to fill its speculated allocated slots.

“We wish to stress that neither the Senate President nor this office has anything to do with the purported slots credited by the publication to the Senate President.”

The ministry opened the N-Power portal last night for registration by new applicants.

Coca-Cola is the latest brand to back the #StopHateforProfit campaign by American civil rights groups.

Coca-Cola chief executive James Quincey said on Friday that the company would halt all social media ads for 30 days while it rethinks its policies.

"There is no place for racism in the world and there is no place for racism on social media," Quincey wrote on Coca-Cola's site . "The Coca-Cola Company will pause paid advertising on all social media platforms globally for at least 30 days. We will take this time to reassess our advertising policies to determine whether revisions are needed. We also expect greater accountability and transparency from our social media partners."

The #StopHateforProfit campaign launched on June 19 in the wake of George Floyd's death at the hands of Minneapolis police officers and the subsequent worldwide protests. It was triggered by Facebook's refusal to remove a post by President Donald Trump, which threatened the protesters with violence.

Trump wrote in his post, "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" and also called the demonstrators "thugs."

The campaign pressures major advertisers to rethink their ad spend on Facebook until it brings in stricter moderation policies.

Big corporations, including Unilever, the Hershey Co, the North Face, Verizon, and many others have over the last week, either paused or halted their advertising with Facebook and other social media platforms as a result.

The pressure appears to be working. Late on Friday, Zuckerberg announced the company will now label "newsworthy" posts from politicians that break its rules on, for example, hate speech or violent speech. It's a significant shift, given the company has up till now totally refused to moderate politicians' rhetoric.

Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja

The Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Atiku Bagudu, on Friday, said the National Executive Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress did no wrong by dissolving the party’s National Working Committee and putting in place a caretaker committee.

He said the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), who is the leader of the party would never do anything that is contrary to the provisions of the party’s constitution.

The party’s NEC had at a meeting held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday dissolved the NWC and set up a caretaker committee led by the Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Bunu.

But 18 members of the dissolved NWC loyal to the party’s sacked national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, insisted that the NEC meeting where the decision was taken was illegal.

They said they were consulting their lawyers and other stakeholders on the dissolution and other decisions taken at the meeting.

After leading APC governors on a “thank you” visit to Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Friday, Bagudu insisted that the President received due legal advice before he took a position on the crisis that rocked the party.

When asked for his view on those who were reported to be considering legal action on the matter, the governor of Kebbi State said, “The media says a lot of things, but Mr President is very clear that he received due legal advice.

“Remember that before the 2019 primaries, Mr President demonstrated to everyone in this country that he will never sacrifice due process for expediency.

“Even when it was convenient to extend the tenure of the then executive so that we don’t have a convention and primary at the same time, Mr President said ‘no, no matter how tough it is, we are going to do the correct legal thing.’

“So, Mr President will never do anything which the constitutional provisions of the party, talk less of the country, do not allow him to do.”

Bagudu said he was at the Presidential Villa with Buni; the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum and Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi; a member of the Caretaker and Extraordinary National Convention Committee representing the North-Central and Niger State Governor, Abubakar Bello; and the Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, to thank Buhari for all he has been doing for the party and the country.

The governor claimed that media reports on the decisions reached at the NEC meeting indicated that many people were pleased.

ToggleHe lauded the present regime’s achievements in the areas of economy, food security, and accountability.
Despite the concerns being raised by groups and individuals on security challenges being experienced across the country, Bagudu said he was hearing of “security gains” daily across the country.
He said the President was happy that the leadership crisis in the party had been resolved.

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos State and national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is unhappy over latest devel­opments in the party which has seen him losing grip of the structures. Governors elected on the party’s platform on Thursday took over control of the party following the dissolution of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) by the National Executive Committee (NEC).

The decision to dissolve the NWC which was badly factionalised was taken after the recommendation of President Muhammadu Buhari, who by virtue of his position is the leader of the party. Despite opposition from the late Abiola Ajimobi-led NWC that the meeting is illegal, the president, vice president, governors and other party leaders attended the meeting held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. Even though Tinubu, it was gathered, opposed the convening of the NEC meeting, many of his loyalists, including Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano, Governor Gboyega Oyetola, among others, were in attendance.

It is also speculated that the latest development may have put paid to his presidential ambition in 2023, even though Tinubu has not confirmed whether he is running. Speaking with Daily Independent, a credible source in the party, who attended the NEC meeting, said President Buhari and other leaders decided to convene the NEC meeting following the illegality being perpetrated by the Ajimobi-led exco represented by Hilliard Eta.

He also said the president and other concerned stakeholders who are worried about the multiple crises and litigations decided to wade in and restore normalcy before the situation gets out of hand.
Aside the multiple crises and court cases, the president was apparently miffed by the illegal tactics being used by the Ajimobi-led exco. They knew Ajimobi was in coma with a very minimal chances of survival but Hilliard Eta who apparently is taking instructions from some quar­ters was issuing statements in his name.
“Many of us who love this party and know the real situation on ground had to inform the president of the need to urgently address this issue and that was why the NEC meeting was approved”.

Following the dissolution of the NWC, the NEC also appointed a caretaker committee headed by Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State. He was immediately sworn in by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN).

I remember many years ago when I was using Glo network and they were giving free SMS. I used to send good will messages to people every month end.
I would send messages to people and some would respond in appreciation.
There was this brother I always sent happy new month messages to, he would never respond or even acknowledge receipt of the text messages.

I resolved to stop sending new month messages to him as I deemed those messages to be waste since he decided to turn a blind eye to them whenever he received them.

One day he met me somewhere and asked if I had finished using my free Glo SMS.. "I no longer see your messages" he asked. In my mind, I was like " So you actually see my messages but chose to ignore them?".

I guess my messages became a nuisance to him. The free SMS actually ended fast. I was being charged for the text messages I sent subsequently, but brother man thought I was bugging him because I had free SMS.

We need to learn the culture of saying thank you when people do some things for us no matter how Great or small.

When I visit an eatery and the attendant hands over my order to me, I say thank you. Some people might wonder, "didn't you pay for what you bought, why thanking him? ". Thanking someone doesn't necessarily mean the person gave you something freely, it could mean being appreciative because something was delivered to you in a good condition.

Being appreciative is a culture that everyone should imbibe. Some people will beg for money, and when they get the money, it is the giver that will still call to ask if they've received the money. What you will hear is "yes, I have received it" and this comes out of the person's mouth without any form of apology.

Learn to say thank you for both little and big kindness shown to you.
It will give the person that showed you that kind gesture an impression that you are not an ingrate. It will make the person know you have a good head..
Remember, if the giver doesn't give, you won't do nothing. So learn to be thankful.

Doctors performed a rare operation in a bid to repair a man's bladder after it ruptured, as he held in his urine for 18 hours while drunk. Hu had fallen asleep after drinking more than 10 beers one evening

A man was taken to hospital after his bladder exploded when he held in his urine for 18 hours following a boozy session.

The 40-year-old drank more than 10 bottles of beer in one night and fell asleep without going to the bathroom when he woke up in excruciating pain.

The man, identified by his surname Hu, was admitted into Zhuji City People's Hospital of Urology in China after sweating and turning pale, reports Weixin.

He had slept throughout the day and when he woke up at 7pm the next evening, his abdomen was aching – this is when his family rushed him to the hospital.

The deputy chief physician of the Department of Urology, Zhu Lingfei explained Hu could not even lie on his back after his abdominal muscles became tight and painful to touch.

Even upon trying, he was unable to urinate due to the pain which led to several failed attempts.

After a CT scan, it was revealed the man's bladder had "exploded" and caused a rupture – he was taken for an emergency operation in a fight to repair the bladder as quickly as possible.

According to medics, alcohol can suppress the nerve centre which dulls the feeling of urination.

Once full with urine, this, combined with the bladder being surrounded by fat and bone can lead to the wall becoming thinner which may cause a rupture.

According to the NHS, a normal bladder in a healthy adult can comfortably hold a pint (500ml) of urine and should be emptied every three to four hours.

"You should be urinating every four to six hours. If you're always holding your pee in for too long, there are consequences,” Dr Lauren Streicher said.

Lauren added: "Pelvic floor muscles contract in a coordinated fashion to help you either release pee or hold it.

"But if you're continually holding urine, you can end up with some real dysfunction of your pelvic floor muscles."

May their soul Rest In Peace RIP.

A veteran Nollywood actress, Bose Adewoyin, is dead. This thespian passed on Tuesday morning. She was buried at about 4p.m. the same day.

Late Adewoyin is famous for her role as Madam Tinubu in ‘EFUNROYE TINUBU’, written by Professor Akinwumi Isola and directed by Gbenga Adewusi in 1989.

EFUNROYE TINUBU was later adapted for television and was a screen hit all through 1989/1990.

The play toured Nigeria before finally being staged in the USA in 1986.

Aunty Bose, as she was fondly called, was a quintessential actress, dancer and costumier. She was on the contingent of the Lagos State Council for Arts and Culture that performed Funmi Odusolu’s famous dance musical, ‘ORÍ’ (Destiny).

Madam Tinubu would later costume many plays for stage and screen while she also acted along. She acted alongside Oga Bello (Adebayo Salami) in Funke Akindele’s ‘ỌMỌ GHETTO’.

While she played Mama Onimama, Oga Bello played Baba Onibaba.

A staffer of the Lagos State Council for Arts and Culture, she participated in many editions of the National Festival of Arts and Culture, NAFEST.

Bose Adewoyin, now dead, also took part in many of the council’s plays and dance productions.

BLOCKCHAIN FOR HUMAN ASSET DEVELOPMENT(Inksledger)

iBSmartify Nigeria invented the World's First Philanthropic Blockchain (InksLedger) and the World's First Charitable Trust DAO (InksNation) which can end poverty in any country in less than 9 months incentivising goodness, promoting love, unity, oneness, peace and equitable distribution of wealth. We also invented the world's first Reserve Cryptocurrency called PinKoin, Africa's first QR Debit Card called PinKard and lots more .

Our Native Reserve Coin called PinKoin will pay every single Nigerian, African and Human being on earth including babies born everyday a minimum of N120,000 ($330) monthly for life as UCBI (Universal Child Basic Income)

Why? Because, it is estimated globally that by 2025, 80% of jobs will be automated by machines and artificial intelligence. This will leave a lot of people jobless affecting African Nations the most. Humans are the biggest assets on earth, so our blockchain is therefore backed by human asset, which makes it possible to incentivise its valuer (you & I).

Human Asset mean that every human being is special so therefore every human being is a living node on our blockchain.

Instead of making humans compete with AI for jobs, we are proposing and building a new ecosystem where AI itself becomes our national & universal housemaids, servants and messengers while we the Human Assets live like Kings & Queens that God had programmed us to be.

We are the median generation and it's our collective calling to correct the errors of all the past generations put together, and we have to get it right and most importantly we have successfully killed the Godship & Worship of money by backing it with the world's biggest asset (Human Asset) which ties its value to the direct value it gives the human race.

Most of the times I have met women wearing chains and necklaces on their legs, some wear a leg and some wear both legs, and I start wondering what is the significance of this thing? I was very concerned to find out what this means, so I decided to ask only a few women what it means.

First, what is an anklet?

An anklet is a piece of jewellery — usually a chain or beads or both — that fashionable women ordinarily wear around their ankles as a fashion statement. Nigerians sometimes call it, ‘leg chain’ or ‘ankle chain’. It is also sometimes called ‘ankle bracelet’ in pop culture terms. They also usually come in different forms.Through history however, anklets have connoted different meanings to different cultures and yes, it does mean promiscuity to some cultures — ancient or contemporary times

According to one woman with whom I talked, she said to me that it would be a fashion for those who wear it to follow trends, it was because they saw certain celebrities that wearing it on their bearings so that they believed it was a tendency for them to wear it too. However, some people did not know it ignorantly.

In India, they were mostly worn by married women to distinguish them in India while the ones with dangling bells were worn by dancers. Early forms of use also traces to ancient, pre-dynastic Egypt where it was a form of class distinction — to tell rich from poor. Wives of rich men wore gold chains while the slaves, poor or plebeians wore silver, metallic or leather anklets.

When a woman puts on a chain on her leg in here in Nigeria, it is the act of prostitution, and then when any man who sees a woman wearing it comes to a conclusion that she is a prostitute. Nevertheless, according to Wikipedia, any time a woman wears a chain on her chest, this implies that she is married, but also it implies that she is married, but still open to other people to support and promote her boyfriend.

iOS 14: Features, release date, how to install the beta, and everything else you need to know

iOS 14 was announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC 2020) on the 22nd of June. However, the tech giant is yet to mention when it would officially be rolling out this update on its devices.

As with many of their previous software rollout, this would be tied to the release of a new model. Speculations are rife that iPhone 12 won’t be released until October but iOS 14 will be available to users with iPhone 6s upwards.

Some features of this software update will include:

Home screen & interface changes: Bringing the customisation feel to the iPhone home screen as well as the App library feature that collages apps into categories with widgets coming in straight on the home screen.

Picture in picture: Allows you watch videos from apps directly on the home screen or if you want to multitask as you watch videos.

App store mini-apps: Allows you to download a small version of an app for test before a proper download, to be sure it is worth being in your library.

A whole new Siri interface

Siri’s full-screen takeover will finally become a thing of the past. When you trigger Siri in iOS 14, it will simply show the Siri “blob” at the bottom of your display,

Memoji updates

Apple’s not making any huge fundamental shifts with Memoji in iOS 14, but it’s adding a lot more options to make it easier to express yourself.

Car Keys

Apple’s one of the first to bring a standardized version of digital car keys to your iPhone (Manufacturers like Tesla have had their solutions for some time).

With it, you can use NFC to unlock your car and start it, and can share limited digital car keys with others through Messages

While a lot of iOS users expressed their anticipation on the release, Android users were quick to remind the iPhone counterparts that the cause of their excitement was already a feature on their devices as they berated iOS and Apple for coming on late.

Governor Godwin Obaseki has admonished his supporters not to lose sleep over latest developments in the Edo state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying he will participate in the governorship primaries slated for Thursday, June 25.

A Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State had stopped Governor Godwin Obaseki from participating in the PDP governorship primary after one of PDP governorship aspirants, Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, who vowed not to step down for Obaseki filed the suit on Monday.

Hon. Justice E.A Obile, who granted the order, allowed the defendant to serve the parties through substituted means in two national dailies and adjourned till June 24 for the hearing of the summon.

However, speaking with Daily Independent, the governor, through Crusoe Osagie, his media aide said all the issues raised in the suit are non-issues which will be set aside.

" We are very confident that all the issues raised in the ruling in the suit filed by Ogbede-Ihama are non-issues. Once the court gets to know that all the issues raised are not correct, it will definitely set aside that ruling".

"We are very confident that the governor will participate in the PDP primaries.

"Our confidence stems from the large support we are getting from PDP leaders across the country, and in particular Edo state".

"Our teeming supporters and the good people of Edo have nothing to worry about. Governor Godwin Obaseki is in high spirits and confident of victory at the end of the day".

As far as the world is still rotating on its axis, strange news will be flying on the air. Could you imagine a young man,plotted evil and unleashed it on his vulnerable niece. Why will this young man defile his 5 years old niece to death.

The man and his aunt kept calm after exercising their demonic act but as God may have it a lady who goes by name, Grace Joseph had revealed their act on social media .Grace took out her time to address parents on how necessary it is to keep an eye on their children because as these things are happening to these vulnerable ones,they may be signs to their parents but their parents will not understand.


What a cute young girl and am very she will have a bright future.

Currently,the young man and his aunt has been reprimanded for this devilish act of theirs. Some might be asking how the aunt got involved in the act? She knew the truth but could report to the police for proper and detail investigation of the matter until led the cat out of the basket. They are now under the custody of the police.

It maybe on the left but it is always right

Nigerian man simply identified as Femi, stabbed his wife to death, and thereafter committed suicide in their home in Victory Park estate in Lagos state on Sunday, June 21.

According to residents of the estate, the couple moved into the estate three weeks ago with their two young children. Not much was known about the couple but just a day before the murder-suicide, they were spotted jogging together on Saturday night June 20.

However, on Sunday, the man who is said to have always questioned the paternity of their second child, stabbed his wife to death, and then took his own life.
A neighbor who spoke on condition of anonymity said on Sunday afternoon, neighbors close to the couple's apartment heard loud music emanating from their home and this lasted for many hours.
The neighbors went to the estate office to complain about the loud music and insisted the estate officials go there and caution the couple.

The estate authorities went to the couple's compound to appeal to them to turn down the volume of the music coming from their apartment.

They however met with the wife's sister who was downstairs with the couple's children. The sister immediately went upstairs so she can inform her sister and the husband about the complaint laid by the estate authorities. She knocked several times but got no response.
After waiting for so long, the sister and the estate officials decided to pull the door down. They were greeted by a horrific sight.
Apparently, the man had killed his wife. It is believed it was pre-meditated because when they got into the room, they saw different kinds of knives there. The woman's legs and hands were bound and her mouth shut with a cellotape. The husband used a clipper to shave her hair, stabbed her head, her eyes, stabbed her multiple times with different knives.
The scene was nothing short of a horror movie.

After stabbing his wife to death, the man committed suicide by drinking sniper''
Spokesperson of the state police command, Bala Elkana who confirmed the incident, said:
It is true. Homicide detectives have sealed up the place. They have commenced investigation. The corpse of the man and the woman have been moved to the hospital for an autopsy.

Two kitchen knives were found there and two bottles of Sniper. The woman had injuries from stabbing while foams were coming out of the man's mouth who is suspected to have taken those Snipers.

There has been pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari led administration to lift the ban on academic activities to enable schools in the country to reopen. Just like that ban on worship centers were lifted.

Primary, Secondary, and tertiary institution teachers frown at the favorable priority given to religion than the education in the country.

Nigerians students should be aware that the duties of the federal government is to protect lives and won't be pressured to take a hasty decision that might put the lives of students at risk by lifting the ban on academic activities amid COVID-19 pandemic.

The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, said this during the Presidential Task Force instructions in Abuja on Monday.

Sirika said the airplane which passed on the performer should fly an Appeal Court Judge, Justice Adefope Okogie, from Lagos to Abuja.

He stated, "The activity is an away from of our endorsement which we pay attention to very. It appears this is turning into a standard. This is the subsequent time. Along these lines, Executive Jet Services is therefore suspended uncertainly and they will confront the law.



"The skipper will likewise be authorized for giving incorrectly data to the control tower. It appears to be additionally that individuals are not worn out on attempting our determination and we are not burnt out on satisfying our duties. Administration is a genuine issue."

The clergyman said the legislature would from this time forward be stricter in giving endorsements for private flights.

He stated, "The individual on that flight led a show. We endorsed a flight, surely not for a performer. The flight was affirmed to pass on Honorable Justice Adefope Okogie from Lagos to Abuja and afterward back to Lagos for an official task.

"In this difficult time, in our insight, we concluded that the legal executive was a piece of the fundamental administrations. Moving an adjudicator from Lagos to Abuja was all together."

If you buy something through a link on this page, we may earn a small commission. How this works.Moringa oleifera is a plant that has been praised for its health benefits for thousands of years.It is very rich in healthy antioxidants and bioactive plant compounds.So far, scientists have only investigated a fraction of the many reputed health benefits.
Here are 5 health benefits of Moringa oleifera that are supported by scientific research.
1. Moringa oleifera Is Very Nutritious
Moringa oleifera is a fairly large tree native to North India. It goes by a variety of names, such as drumstick tree, horseradish tree or ben oil tree. Almost all parts of the tree are eaten or used as ingredients in traditional herbal medicines. This especially applies to the leaves and pods, which are commonly eaten in parts of India and Africa .Moringa leaves are an excellent source of many vitamins and minerals. One cup of fresh, chopped leaves (21 grams) contain:
Protein: 2 grams
Vitamin B6: 19% of the RDA
Vitamin C: 12% of the RDA
Iron: 11% of the RDA
Riboflavin (B2): 11% of the RDA
Vitamin A (from beta-carotene): 9% of the RDA
Magnesium: 8% of the RDA
2. Moringa oleifera Is Rich in Antioxidant
Moringa oleifera is rich in various antioxidants, including quercetin and chlorogenic acid. Moringa leaf powder can increase blood antioxidant levels.
3. . Moringa May Lower Blood Sugar Levels
One study in 30 women showed that taking 1.5 teaspoons (7 grams) of moringa leaf powder every day for three months reduced fasting blood sugar levels by 13.5%, on average (16). Another small study in six people with diabetes found that adding 50 grams of moringa leaves to a meal reduced the rise in blood sugar by 21% (21).Scientists believe these effects are caused by plant compounds such as isothiocyanates.


4. Moringa Can Lower Cholesterol
Having high cholesterol has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Fortunately, many plant foods can effectively reduce cholesterol. These include flaxseeds, oats and almonds. Both animal- and human-based studies have shown that Moringa oleifera may have similar cholesterol-lowering effects.
5. Moringa oleifera May Reduce Inflammation
Inflammation is the body’s natural response to infection or injury. It’s an essential protective mechanism but may become a major health issue if it continues over a long period of time.Most whole fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices have anti-inflammatory properties. However, the degree to which they can help depends on the types and amounts of anti-inflammatory compounds they contain.Scientists believe that isothiocyanates are the main anti-inflammatory compounds in moringa leaves, pods and seeds.

Allah's messenger words

Sure matter.

Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has stated he would be a happy should his Edo counterpart, Godwin Obaseki, joins the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).

Obaseki has been disqualified by the All Progressives Congress(APC) from the primary that will produce a candidate for the party ahead of the September governorship race in Edo over alleged "defective qualifications."

There had been pressure on Obaseki to cross over to the PDP and pick its governorship ticket.

Wike, who hosted Obaseki in a private meeting on Sunday, said he would gladly welcome the Edo Governor to the PDP fold.

Speaking with reporters on Monday at the Government House Port-Harcourt, the Governor also blasted the Nigerian Governors Forum(NGF), alleging it has become toothless under APC.

Wike said: “Ordinary, I would not speak on it ( Obaseki’s fate) but the NGF has become a toothless bulldog that can only bark and not bite. It is quite unfortunate that I belong to such a forum. Nobody seems to respect the Governors Forum again because we have given ourselves out”

"Obaseki is a member of the APC, I campaigned against him in 2016 but how can you say a sitting governor is being disqualified because some of his certificates are defective? He was presented by the National Chairman of APC, when he was governor. I was watching a video where Adams Oshiomhole described him as a product of Nigeria's premier university, who went to the US and came back with a masters degree."

On the possibility of defecting to the PDP, Wike said: "Yes, he came to see me yesterday; both of us are South-south governors. We sat down and discussed issues, seek opinions and compared notes. He has not said he wants to come to PDP; he is meeting with us and holding discussions to determine, but I will be happy if he comes."

Wike said it was “quite unfortunate” the treatment meted on Obaseki by the All Progressive Congress leadership, and lamented the perceived acquiescing silence of the NGF and the Progressive Governors Forum.

"If you ask me if I am happy about the way he was disqualified, how can I be happy? How can you disqualify a sitting governor? You asked a Commissioner fo screen a sitting governor and disqualify him."

"Since 2015 when the APC took over leadership of the Governor’s Forum, everything died; the forum is is not what we used to have. It used to be a powerful forum. The APC has killed it and the forum is now focused on the interests of the ruling party, instead of focusing on good governance and interest of Nigeria and Nigerians.”

"When the IG (Ibrahim Idris) withdrew my security aides and exposed me to danger, the Governors did not say anything. Yari (Abubakar) was the (NGF) President and a member of the APC. I told them that they're being captured, and today the forum has become a Beggars Forum because they have to beg for everything."

He said the ongoing discussion on the Infectious Bill before the National Assembly showed show that the forum has lost its bite, relevance and failed to play its role as an integral part of the nation's democratic process.

Wike also took a swipe at the Progressive Governors Forum, comprising state governors on the platform of the APC, stating that Obaseki's fate was a slap on the union's face.

The Rivers Governor warned the manner of Obaseki's disqualification, despite the political implications for the APC, indicates that the ruling party was willing to throw caution to the wind and take the state by brute force.

Yet, he warned the ruling party not to use the Police and Security to manipulate Edo election, stressing it could unleash civil disobedience in a magnitude of what is currently happening in the United States, over the killing of an African-America.

"They cannot get away with using the security force and INEC to have their way because everybody will be involved. Edo people will be involved. See what is happening in the US with George Floyd's death, nobody expected that just one death can lead to all that."

Ladies are like race horses: they must be mastered, tamed, trained, exercised and regularly serviced. They are like race cars: their engine must be revved at least twice a day.

They are like precious jewels and rare gems: they must be cherished, shielded, guarded, protected and defended.

They are like little children: they must be given attention, pampered, encouraged, loved, made to feel on top of the world and given everything that they need and want.

They are like magnificent works of art: they must be appreciated and valued.

If you want to keep a lady, live for her alone, worship the ground she walks on, treat her like a Queen, tolerate and accept her idiosyncrasies, weaknesses and excesses and love her for who and what she is, warts and all!

And one more thing: once in a while write her a romantic poem, serve her breakfast in bed, give her flowers, buy her the most expensive and exotic perfumes, take her shopping and in the evening cook a candle-lit dinner for her.

Do all this and she will stand with you through thick and thin.

That’s my secret and that’s the key!

“Why this lamentation?

Lick your wounds in silence
please.”

This is one of the numerous comments antagonizing the Northern Elders Forum for its latest rants on President Muhammadu Buhari.

Apparently, in a press conference organized by the Northern Elders Forum, the forum’s spokesperson, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed in his statement called out President Buhari for failing the North in terms of security and poverty level in the region. The Elders Forum only just re-echoed what many well meaning Nigerians have been saying about the APC led Federal Government.

The Forum felt it is now necessary for them to make public their stands about the state of the nation.

Boko Haram, bandits and herdsmen are all killing and maiming tens of people in the North almost on a daily basis with little or no form of resistance by the security agencies. This obviously made the Northern Elders Forum to speak out
against the increase of insecurity in the land.

Popular Nigerian celebrity pastor and the founder of Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry ,Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere Odumeje becomes the first pastor to ever seal an endorsement deal.

Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje on Saturday signed an endorsemet with liquid metal management be their brand Ambassador, therefore he is now the first pastor to officially sign an endorsement deal.

The controversial Onitsha base pastor became a house hold name throughout the countryafter series of video clips showing his rather awkward way of performing miracles surfaced online.

He is also calling himself funny names such as , The lion,' ''Indoboski'' Bahose''and other catchy phrase he do used to describe himself.

Liquid metal management took to their social media handle to announce the new deal

The beautiful DJ with her post revealed who she has ever loved in her life.
I've only ever loved 2 men in my life...My dad and Jason Otedola ''she said.

Even though Cuppy has been crying all over social media for the past over her romantic relationship status , she undoubtedly has ex-boyfriends and had fallen in love in the past if not now or anymore.

However, the disc jockey with this revelation of hers seems not to be honest with her feelings because as a woman, there is no way you can escape being in love with the opposite gender romantically.

Yes she said what she said, however, on the twitter, people had to ask about her true feelings because this looks absurd to them

PRE-WEDDING PICTURES !!!

People go around holding and smooching each other without marriage in the name of pre-wedding pictures, hold up, hold down, some even kiss all in the name of pre wedding pictures, the guy will hold her waist, and she will shamelessly smile saying is all part of love, when it's purely sinful act. How guaranteed are you that indeed you will pass today and get married tomorrow?

Let's say you are even alive, how guaranteed are you that Allah will not change your plans for you?

How assured are you that tomorrow definitely you will get married?

Have you stopped even for a while to think this man is my non Muharram?

Do you even know what that means?

The man you are thinking you are getting married to is not yet your HUSBAND!

And You my brother, the lady you are thinking of getting married to is not yet your WIFE !!!

Basically, you don't even feel that jealous when you see your wife's body will be exposed, your friends looking at her shape and you are proud that you made the best choice because she is beautiful, has long hair, tall, slim, figure 8 and just exactly how you want her to be.

Have you forgotten that this is Haram?

Have you forgotten the verse of the Qur'an that says you should protect yourself and your family from hell fire?

Have you forgotten the Hadith that says he who does not feel jealous of his wife will not enter paradise?

Have you forgotten you are here in this world for a purpose and that purpose is to Worship and Submit yourself only to Allah?

Have you forgotten the purpose of your existence?

Have you forgotten the day of judgement?

By snapping these pictures you are inviting others to do the same, you will also get punished for their actions because you were part of it.

Oh my Dear sisters and brothers, I have used my hand to correct the bad, I did what I was instructed to do by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW), I have removed the burden of not telling you the truth from my head, I pray that Allah guide us to the straight path, I pray that this will be a reminder for you, that you will repent and In Shaa Allah we will meet in Jannah.

My dear sisters and brothers Wallahi I love you and I want to see you and your family walk to paradise with angels accompanying you to paradise. I pray we meet in Jannah and I pray this serves as a reminder to you and the people around you.

Please pass this to as many people as you can, May Allah (SWT) reward you abundantly. Ameen

Once a Sahabi’s son was missing.
The Sahabi went looking for his son.
As he was searching he found a group of children playing and saw his son was amongst them.
He saw that Rasoolallah ï·º, the Beloved of Allah was sitting at a short distance watching the children.

The Sahabi came into the presence of the Beloved ï·º and after presenting Salam he asked Ya Rasoolallah ï·º I have been looking for my son and found him playing here, do I have your permission to take him?

The Prophet ï·º replied,
Let your son play a little longer.

The Sahabi took his leave and left.
A short while later he came again and found the Beloved of Allah in the same place watching the children play.

The Sahabi asked for permission to take his son and once again the Prophet ï·º asked to to let his son carry on playing.

The man left and came back a short while later. Again he asked for permission to take his son and this time the Prophet of Allah ï·º gave him permission, now you may take your son.

As the man was about to approach the children and call his son, Rasoolallah ï·º called him back.

He returned to the company of Rasoolallah ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ said, Take your son but when you call him don’t call him as ‘my son’ call him by his name.

The Sahabi was a little inquisitive as to why this instruction was given and he asked Ya Rasoolallah, the child is my son and if I did call out to him as ‘my son’ would that be a problem?

Tears began to fall down the Blessed cheeks of The Mercy to Creation and He replied,
O my companion, amongst those children there are orphans... if you call out to your child as ‘O my son’ the orphans may feel the loss of their fathers and may be saddened.
To avoid this I have requested that you call your son by his name so as not to hurt their feelings!

The Sahabi was amazed at the intricate level of concern and sensitivity of Rasoolallah ï·º.
The man took his son, came back to Rasoolallah ï·º to ask leave.

He then asked Ya Rasoolallah ï·º why are you sitting watching these children, again with tears in his blessed eyes, the Mercy to Creation replied,
I was watching those children and sat close by so that they know that even though they do not have fathers, they have the Prophet of Allah to care for them.

The two lovebirds met and started their relationship during the 2019 Batch 'C' Orientation Course in NYSC Orientation Camp, Fanisau-Dutse, Jigawa State.
The Marriage Registrar for Ijumu Local Government Area, Barrister Taiwo Ojo, while handing over the marriage certificate to the new couple, Mr and Mrs Fabiyi Oluwasegun at the Ijumu Council Registry in the presence of their parents, relations, friends and well wishers urged them to allow genuine love, trust and peaceful coexistence be their guiding principle.

Sometimes while on site, we experience various circumstances that truly brings us so much confusion and sand filling is such a circumstance since we probably won't have the option to advise the correct kind of sand to use for filling.


This anyway relies upon the idea of the sort of soil that is pervasive in the territory.

Discussing the idea of soil in the territory, everything comes down to the accompanying 2 questions:

1. Is my home built on a swamp soil? This is for clients Or Did I develop this structure on a swampy soil ? This question is for the contractors

2. Did I build my house on a non swampy soil?

If you can answer these two questions correctly, then you know where you are heading and the right steps to take.

Now let's us address and clarify things about filling sands.

In the event that you are building on a swampy soil, water logged zone, at that point its best you purchase Sharp sand for the filling.

For what reason Should I Use Sharp sand For Filling? You may ask

Sharp sand has a weak capillarity, when all around compacted, the capillarity is so weak, the water won't have the option to ascend to the super structure without any problem.

When Should I Use Laterite/Red Sand for Filling?


I suggest you use Laterite if the whole territory is dry and flood free.

Check ground/earth wells, ask from Bore opening drillers to have the option to know how far the water table is from the surface before you use Laterite for filling.

This is due to that fact that if you apply Laterite which is very high in capillarity in a territory where the water table is very near the surface, during the wet season, you'll notice a few swellings around the building. Am sure some house owners here have seen something like this before.

These swellings are normally observed soon after the DPC. You'll simply see the paint is practically wearing off despite the fact that its only a couple of months subsequent to painting.

When this happens, the beauty of your home is be in bad shape and furthermore the foundation of the building becomes weakend since swelling would carry dampness to the super structure.

So Which Type Of Soil Do I Need For Filling

Honestly, Laterite can be used, sharp sand can be used too yet again, on the off chance that you are very observant when construction process is taking place in your area, you'll notice that sharp sand is normally used around coastal areas (zones that are prone to flooding or damp areas while Laterite is utilized on dry areas.

For example, in Delta State, Nigeria, we have dry zones like Agbor, Abraka, Some areas of Effurun, and so on. Presently streets on this parts of the state are leveled with Laterite however along the riverine territories like Patani, Burutu, Gbaramatu, Bormadi, you see that Sharp sand is being used and applied by these construction workers.


You now see that it isn't a coincidence. It is a direct result of all that I have clarified previously.

Well. I've takes about The best kind of sand to be utilized in Filling. Its currently left for you to settle on the correct decision.

Remember to build for stability, build for life span and not for style alone.

Whether you are client or potential client, or a construction worker or aspiring, I believe this was helpful and you have learnt a thing or two. The choice is now yours and if you have a thing or two to contribute, drop your comments below and also share to u others who do not know about this.

In this article I'm going to be sharing with you a good example of a picture that represents and optical illusionary view. An optical illusionary or illusion picture is one aimed at challenging the usage of the eyes and brain in proffering solution(s) to pictures that may pose as a problem to the brain. In answering puzzles or brainstorming questions of this sort, it is highly recommendable to employ a swift maneuver of the eyes in connection with the brain.



In the picture above you will see two identical images that might really confuse your eyes and brain - that's what optical illusionary pictures do. The images are virtually the same in a quick glance, but if your apply adequate scrutiny and observations, you will notice that these two pictures though seeming alike, but aren't the same, as they are slight difference between them.

If you are able to spot the all the difference in this picture in less than a minute then you must be super human. Please let me know from the comment section below the numbers of difference you were able to spot and how long it took you to spot them all.

The police disclosed that the two suspects had ordered an iPhone 11 Pro Max from Jiji, and to pay on delivery at the value of N450,000. So when the delivery man arrived, who is by name Anifowoshe Itunu, the supposed buyer, Chinonso, generated a fake alert to him and thereafter tied him down with the help of others and later escaped from the apartment. They also confessed that they sold the iPhone 11 Pro Max at N350,000 to a buyer in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos.,

They further said that it was the third time they would be selling an iPhone 11 Pro Max during the COVID-19 lockdown, which they also acquired through internet fraud and stolen credit cards.

Upon their arrests, reports have it they tried to escape the building, as Chinonso jumped from their residence’s storey building to hard ground naked, but was later apprehended while running in the streets. He was admitted in a hospital after landing with bruises before the interrogation. The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, confirmed the arrests and vow not not to allow criminals to use the internet as an avenue to exploit legitimate business owners.

Nevertheless, we know the COVID-19 times accompanied by hunger are hard, but that is not enough reasons to involve in crime. A Twitter user opined.

Dear Brotherly in Love,

When was the last time you held bae's hand in the public as a sign that you ain't ashamed of her anywhere.

When was the last time you looked at her beautiful gown, admire how gorgeous she looks in it, throw her some compliment and act like you just can't wait to have her forever.

When was the last time you gave her that heart melting smile, that makes her head turniownniown.

What was the last time you chose to eat together in the same plate or on the same table at the same time.

When was the last time you dropped love notes in her bag when she wasn't looking, just to tell her you love her.

When was the last time you played a very risky trick on her as though something was wrong and you needed her urgently only for her to arrive to know you've only missed like a monkey misses banana
When was the last time you acted like you were just gonna faint or die if she steps away a second from the spot she's standing or sitting to talk with you after a day of loooong talks. Or you're just so in a haste to let her go?

When was the last time you wore that nice top she bought for you, not every time you'll be dressing serious serious like one battalion commander and old papa.

When was the last time you looked her in the eye, drop your manly ego and say those three magical words "I love you" from your very bowels to her with your eyes looking all over her like....

When was the last time you stole a look at her while journeying in the vehicle or strolling on the street and she acts and pretends like she's not seeing you, only for her to suddenly blush and smile, look at you and say "whaaat?" with that sweet soft tone... Chai..... It's heavenly.

The way some unku use to do ehn, they make the death of Christ of no effect in their relationship. Mbok unku, dem don too yab we Christian brothers, stop spoiling market for us wey never even enter market... Yeah! Who slap me.... Oooops.

Every woman desire words of reassurance, unku we can't say this the umpteenth time. Haba.. Learn nau. It's not every time money, gift.. Sometimes the reason for the quarrel is not what you did, but what you did not do, and I mean simple things like these.

When she stays around her friends or passes by strangers and see these things, she gets jealous and pick on you unnecessarily, expecting that you should at least make her feel like a queen and not a Barbie doll.

Dear Aunty in Love
You too sef, you no try at all. Sit down first.

When was the last time you called him during office hours to pay obeisance to the man who's gonna be your king.

When was the last time you suddenly hold his hands on the street, fold his fist tightly, shut your eyes for a second and release it, to make him know you feel secured with him. Chai. Or you think we don't like heavenly feeling too. Tooor.

When was the last time you stole a look at our heads and chest like you can't wait to crown him as your king and lay on that chest as your chamber pillow.

When was the last time you spoke words of encouragement to him during his down times and move to support him rather than making him feel like a failure
When was the last time you make him know you love him more when he tells you he loves you. No, some of you it's "thank you" you will say as though you were just given Chinchin. and you expect to hear it over and over again. Who likes nonsense.

So many times, we over look the fact that men don't demand for these things and as such think or believe they ain't needful. My sister, we need am pass una sef. Don't be deceived, a man is also moved by what he hears. No be only una like better thing mbok.

Make him feel like your king and see if he'll not treat you like the queen that you are. Brethren , oh sorry brethren, everything no be money. Some things are common sense.
Oya put your hand on your head, say Oh God, give me sense! Shake that head, shake am well well.

Abeg who get palm oil make I use am chop this bread jare before e cold. Stop, don't lewk at me laidat.

The defender got on the scoresheet as his side brushed past Eibar on Sunday and vowed to chase the Liga leaders all the way to the end

Sergio Ramos sent a title warning to Barcelona after Real Madrid made a winning return to La Liga action on Sunday.

The club captain was among the goalscorers as Madrid beat Eibar 3-1 at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium to move back to within two points of league leaders Barca, who won 4-0 at Real Mallorca on Saturday.

Toni Kroos and Marcelo scored either side of Ramos in a strong first-half display from the home side, but they were less convincing after the break and conceded when Pedro Bigas deflected a Pablo De Blasis shot past Thibaut Courtois.

Ramos went off after 61 minutes with what he described as "a little knock", which did not help Madrid's cause, but the centre-back was still pleased with the way they returned to action three months after the coronavirus pandemic forced the season to be suspended.

"I'm happy with the three points and to start playing again," he said to La Liga. "We've got 10 more finals and we'll give it everything we've got.

"It was a bit strange for everybody after a tough time for everyone, I want to send, as captain, high spirits to everyone. It has been a strange situation, not being able to go out of the house, but we always have to bring positive things out of bad things.

"To get football back is happiness for the whole country. Everything is returning to its natural place, it's important for everybody – us as well – to get back out on the pitch.

"I think we did well, we worked hard over the last few weeks to come back and to keep the form that maybe we've lost over the last couple of months. We are back and playing in the best possible way, there are a lot of things we can improve but physically we were good.

"The first 45 minutes, we showed good intensity and got the goals to go ahead. A bit less intense in the second half, but that will be something for us to learn from and improve. In general, we were good, we've got things to improve and are happy to get the three points. We will now prepare for the next game in the best way."

The UN says the clashes with the military in Monguno lasted for about two hours
Dozens of soldiers and civilians are reported to have been killed in twin attacks by Islamist militants in north-eastern Nigeria's Borno state.

Fighters attacked Monguno, a garrison town where UN and other aid workers are based, and a village in Nganzai.

The UN said it was "appalled" by the raids that came days after at least 81 villagers were killed in Gubio.

A Boko Haram faction calling itself the Islamic State in West Africa (Iswap) says it is behind all three attacks.

The splinter group declared its loyalty to the Islamic State group four years ago.


Have Nigeria's militants been defeated?
What do we know about the attacks?
At least 20 soldiers and more than 40 civilians are said to have been killed in the two attacks.

People from Goni Usmanti village in Nganzai told the AFP news agency that militants shot dead 38 people and set a truck on fire with passengers inside.

Security sources and residents said at least 15 people, including nine soldiers, died in Monguno town, which is about 60km (37 miles) away.

Monguno is host to many people who have fled their homes during Boko Haram's decade-long insurgency
Militants armed with heavy weapons including rocket launchers arrived in Monguno, a base for many international non-governmental organisations, on Saturday morning, overrunning government forces in the area.

In a statement, the UN confirmed that "non-state armed group operatives" entered Monguno in the late morning.

"Several" civilians, including a four-year old girl, were killed, it said, while at least 37 other civilians were injured.

Although vehicles were set ablaze and an unexploded missile found outside the main humanitarian facility, it was not seriously damaged.

"Protective security measures deployed at the humanitarian hub prevented any harm to the over 50 aid workers who were in the facility at the time of the attack," the UN said.

Reports say hundreds of civilians were injured in Nganzai and the local hospital was overwhelmed, forcing some of the injured to lie outside awaiting help.

The militants then distributed letters to residents, in the local Hausa language, warning them not to work with the military or international aid groups, the BBC's Chris Ewokor reports from the capital, Abuja.

Iswap does not usually target civilians unless they are working with Western aid agencies, or suspected of providing information to the army.

What has the reaction been?
"I am relieved all staff are safe and secure, but I am shocked by the intensity of this attack," said Edward Kallon, UN humanitarian co-ordinator in Nigeria.

The Nigerian military said that its forces had "successfully repelled" the attack on Monguno and killed 20 jihadists.

It did not mention any casualties among soldiers and civilians or the attack in Nganzai.

More than 100,000 of Monguno's residents are people who have been displaced from their homes by the 10-year conflict in the region.

The fan, identified as a French national living in Mallorca, is considered to have committed a 'criminal act' by the governing body

La Liga has promised to take legal action against a pitch-invading fan who sought a photo with Lionel Messi during Saturday's clash between Mallorca and Barcelona.

The game, Barca's first since La Liga was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic back in March, had reached its 54th minute when the interruption occurred.

A young fan decked in a Messi Argentina shirt burst onto the pitch at the Estadio Son Moix and attempted to close in on the superstar before being intercepted and ushered away by security.


Such an offence is a blatant breach not just of everyday match regulations but also La Liga's protocol for Covid-19, put in place to prevent further spread while playing out the remaining games of the 2019-20 season.

No fans in the stadium.

Match stopped because of a pitch invader.

And the governing body is taking the incident extremely seriously, slamming the invader and promising to act against him with the full force of the law.

"La Liga will file the appropriate legal action, considering that this was a criminal act," it signalled in a statement released on Sunday.

"La Liga would also like to express its absolute condemnation of this kind of behaviour, which puts in risk the health of others and the integrity of our competition.

The invader himself, who has been reported as a French national resident in Mallorca, attempted to play down the severity of his actions, while lamenting that he did not manage to keep a photo of Barca's No. 10.

"It was a great experience, I jumped over a two-metre fence," he told COPE to explain how he gained entry to a game which, like all matches currently taking place in Spain, was played behind closed doors.

My dream is to have a photo with Messi, I went for him, I took some photos and the police forced me to delete them."

Barcelona led 2-0 at the time of the interruption, with early goals from Arturo Vidal and Martin Braithwaite ensuring a brilliant start to La Liga's return for the table-toppers.

And there was more to come after the invasion, as Jordi Alba and Messi himself compounded Mallorca's grief with two further strikes to seal a 4-0 win on the Balearic island.

Some weeks after a UNIBEN student was raped and murdered inside a church in Edo state, another student, Grace Oshiagwu, was allegedly raped and murdered inside a church in Ibadan Oyo state on Saturday, June 13.

According to reports, Grace, a 21-year-old National Diploma student of Oke Ogun Polytechnic, was allegedly raped and then murdered inside the church located in the Ojoo area of Ibadan in Akinyele Local Government Area. She was discovered with machete cuts on her body.

In a statement released, the spokesperson of the state police command, Gbenga Fadeyi, confirmed the incident but said details of the incident are still sketchy.

‘One Grace Oshiagwu, female, aged 21 years, was macheted on her head in a church mission building at Idi-Ori Area, Shasha off expressway by unknown assailant(s) today 13/06/2020 about 3:00 pm.

‘Investigation has commenced into the matter and the police tactical teams are on the trail of the assailant(s). While efforts intensified, we want to continue to solicit for credible information from members of the communities around the area and the general public to unravel the misery behind these dastardly killing.’’ Fadeyi said





This will be the third case of rape and murder of a female in Oyo state in recent times.



Barakat Bello, a student of the Department of Science Laboratory Technology (SLT), Federal College of Animal Health and Production, Moor Plantation, Ibadan, was raped and killed on June 1.

On June 5, a 29-year-old woman, Azeezat Somuyiwa, who was seven months pregnant, was also hacked to death by yet to be identified persons in Oyo state.

Meanwhile, friends of late Grace have taken to social media to mourn her death.

A friend just opened up to me about her relationship. She said when she met her man, she assumed she was younger than him because he looked so big and more mature than her and he also acts mature than her.

One day, they were discussing their age and she found out she was older, so she had to lie about her age. The relationship went on and the love grew stronger, then a day came, she asked him if he can marry a lady older than him, he said 'never' she asked what if it's just one year? He still said ' never'. Then she asked him that what if he later found out that his girlfriend is older, what would he do? He said he would end the relationship.

She said she couldn't bear it any longer and so she opened up to him about her age. That she's a year older than him. She wants him to know before it's too late. After opening up to him, she was expecting him to end the relationship but he didn't. He's still coming for her, he still loves her and wants to marry her. But she's withdrawing from the relationship because of what the guy said earlier.

Happy Sunday

The concept of being alone can be a frightening one to many people.

We like to surround ourselves with friends, family, and social media accounts so that even when we are alone we really aren't.
Some people avoid being alone for a variety of reasons.

Some people don't like the silence and it makes them uncomfortable.

Some people feel more invigorated and energized when they are with or around others.

Some people don't like where their thoughts may stray, so they purposefully avoid taking alone time.

Still, some people enjoy being alone but with technology and social media, they aren't actually getting quality alone time.
Making an effort to unplug and step away for a little time alone is more beneficial than you may think.

Spending some time alone each week has many wellness advantages. Being alone can be unnerving, but it can also be very healthy for us and therapeutic.

Spending time alone doesn't mean living alone or isolating yourself permanently, it simply means making the effort to spend a few hours a week without anyone else or any social media/electronic communication distractions.

Getting some alone time can be as easy as excusing yourself to an empty room to read a book, You can take a walk outside, or spend time working on a hobby in a solitary space.

Alone time doesn't have to be silent, either.

You can learn to play an instrument, or blast your music as loud as you want with a pair of headphones.

The key to getting solid, healthy alone time is to unplug from communicating and interacting with others for a little while (with the exception of emergency phone calls or obligations.)

People who make an effort to spend time alone are smarter and stronger. Here are 5 reasons why: go to a movie by yourself.
Spending time alone, and unplugged, gives you time to process.

There's a lot going on in our lives and in the world at every single moment.

Taking the time to get away and not have any distractions gives you time to process everything going on.

When you have time to process, you have time to organize your thoughts, feelings, and responses.

Being able to take time alone to process all of this also gives you time to solve problems and create productive solutions—regardless whether those solutions require action or not.

Spending time alone teaches you to rely more upon yourself for the basics than upon someone else.

This can be as simple as learning to care for yourself when you are sick, cooking your own dinner, or maintaining your own household.

Living alone is not a requirement, but using alone time to learn how to do these tasks will strengthen your independence, as well as your reliability and ability to assist others.

People who spend time alone have more time to self-reflect.

This provides the opportunity to figure out who you are, and who you want to be.

This increases self-confidence as well as self-awareness.

When you have the time to self-reflect, you have the time to acknowledge your flaws and short comings as well as strategize ways to improve or change them if you feel so inclined.

This also increases your accountability because if you are self-aware, then you are able to identify and accept responsibility for your own actions. Good and bad.

Spending time alone increases your ability to focus on a single task or project.

Being alone and unplugged from social media and electronic communications (such as texting or email) for a few hours eliminates many distractions that prevent us from being able to focus and complete a given task.

Spending time alone strengthens your concentration and improves your productivity.

It seems contradictory that spending time alone can actually improve your relationships with others, but it's true.

Taking time to be by yourself gives you the space to figure out who you are and what you want your life to be.

Having the time to consider this, will also give you the time to look closely at the people you surround yourself with.

Maybe you find you're ready to move in a new direction and following the same routine with the same friends is no longer valuable for you.

Instead of just going through the motions and ignoring how these outdated habits are holding you back, taking the time to look at yourself and your life will help you construct better relationships and routines that are more suitable to your life as it evolves.

Taking time to yourself can also give you time to evaluate what you are giving and getting from these friendships or relationships.

After a few hours alone, you might realize you have more to give and contribute, or that the relationship isn't very nurturing and doesn't add value to your life.

Not only does it help build better friendships, but taking time for yourself improves long-term relationships and partnerships as well.

Your spouse or family unit is more difficult to alter than your friendships and social circles;

you can't just stop being with your family like you can stop going to poker night or for drinks at the bar.

What being alone offers for these relationships is a break.

You should want to spend time with your family and/or partners, but too much time all the time can start to feel like a burden.

Taking a few hours for yourself can give you the space to recharge and find your individuality again.

After a few hours of alone time, you will feel renewed, strengthened, and more appreciative of your family and partner because you took time to care for yourself and pursue your own interests or hobbies.

Feeling strengthened and empowered as an individual means that you have more to offer to a partnership and/or family because you are now a centered and steady force in the relationship.

Making the effort to spend a few hours alone each week—away from others and unplugged from electronic communications—will add to your overall wellness.

You will have increased productivity, concentration, self-awareness, and stronger relationships. Recharge, strengthen, and get smarter with some time by yourself. :-\

It has been a norm for incumbent occupant of executive offices, including offices of President of Nigeria, Governor of State and Chairman of local government areas, to seek second term in office under the platform of the party they won election or preferred party of their choice since Nigeria switched to presidential system of government in 1979. Even when these occupants of executive offices fall out with their erstwhile allies that were instrumental to their first electoral victory, they still get the nod of their party for second term.

When democracy was returned in 1999, it was expected that the elected chief across the country would keep to the tradition by seeking reelection under the platforms of their respective parties at the expiration of their terms.

But despite this unwritten tradition, a total of six first term governors have been denied tickets by their respective political parties to run for second term in office between 1999 and 2020. The six governors are;

1. Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju, Anambra state (PDP, 2003)

On 29th of May1999, Governor Mbadinuju fortunate to be among the thirty six governors that were inaugurated at the return of democracy after a long stretched military rule in the country

Mbadinuju, a member of Peoples Democratic Party and protégé of Chief Emeka Offor, a wealthy businessman, was already oiling his political structure ahead of the 2003 general election where he intend to run for second term as candidate of the party, when he became a victim of intraparty power play between his camp and the loyalists of President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Mbadinuju, who had become estranged with Chief Emeka Offor, lost the battle to control the state party structure to the three Uba brothers, namely; Dr Chris Uba, Dr Andy Uba and Chief Ugochukwu Uba.

The Uba brothers vowed not to allow Governor Mbadinuju to run for second term as PDP candidate, and got him disqualified from participating in the 2003 Anambra State gubernatorial primary of PDP. They drafted in Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngige, who was initially running for Anambra central senatorial race, to become the new preferred candidate PDP for the Anambra state governorship election.

During the PDP governorship primary, the Uba brothers excluded Governor Mbadinuju from participating in the exercise and installed Dr Chris Ngige instead.

2. Alhaji Mala Kachalla, Borno State (ANPP, 2003)

Alhaji Mala Kachalla was also among the inaugural governors of Nigeria at the return of the fourth republic on 29th May, 1999 following his victory as candidate of All Peoples Party, APP (later renamed All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP) in the 1998 gubernatorial election in Borno state. In fact, Governor Kachalla was among the few governors that was elected under the APP.

In 2002, Governor Kachalla was engaged in power tussle with a governorship aspirant and senator for Borno central, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, for the control of the soul of the Borno state chapter of ANPP. Unfortunately, Governor Kachalla was defeated by Senator Sheriff in the power tussle.

When it became clear to that the party was bent on giving Senator Sheriff its ticket for the 2003 governorship race, Governor Kachalla angrily left the party for an less fancied Alliance for Democracy; where he eventually ran for the governorship election and performed terribly.

3. Rasheed Ladoja, Oyo state (PDP, 2007)

During the 2003 election, Senator Rasheed Ladoja, the candidate of PDP, enjoyed the support of Chief Lamidi Adedibu, the strongman of Ibadan and godfather of PDP in Oyo state, to topple Alhaji Lamidi Adesina, the Governor of the state and candidate of Alliance for Democracy.

Following his success at the 2003 governorship election, Senator Ladoja was sworn in as governor of the state on 29th May 2003. But in 2006, three years into his tenure, Senator Ladoja became estranged with Chief Adedibu, his benefactor over "sharing formula". As a result of their fallout, Chief Adedibu decreed that PDP will not grant Senator Ladoja second term ticket to run for 2007 election. He also ordered for Ladoja to be impeached from office and not be allowed to complete his first term. True to his words, Senator Ladoja was impeached as governor in 2006 and also prevented from participating in the PDP 2007 governorship primary election in Oyo state. His Deputy, Chief Christopher Alao Akala, who succeeded him as governor after he was impeached, became the new candidate of the party for the 2007 governorship election.

Although Ladoja's impeachment was reversed by the Court of Appeal in 2007, he was still not allowed to get the PDP nomination.

Instructors of tuition based schools have engaged the administration to help them with palliatives, saying the drawn out conclusion of schools as a component of measures to diminish the spread of COVID-19 is exposing them to starvation.

In an announcement marked by their representative, Abdul-Ganiyy Raji, and made accessible to the Tribune Education in Kaduna, the tuition based school instructors said it would be unfeeling of the administration to hang tight for proprietors and educators of non-public schools to begin kicking the bucket of starvation before it goes to their guide.

“We can’t bear to keep overlooking the government assistance of hidden schools instructors. Tuition based school instructors are presently eager.

“We should recollect that tuition based schools endure basically on income from their clients (guardians) and we as a whole realize that schools have not gathered third term expenses from their clients.

“All the wellsprings of pay of tuition based schools have been obstructed by the present lockdown. Government ought to kindly take care of tuition based schools,” Raji said.

The gathering noticed that for over two months currently, schools have been shut in consistence with the lockdown request forced by the Federal Government to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.

It stated: “The legislature is complimented for this striking advance; we need to remain at home to be sheltered and to be alive. Various nations of the world have additionally found a way to hinder the further spread of the profoundly irresistible infection.

“In any case, while this lockdown keeps going, would anybody say anybody is discussing how school proprietors are adapting to the pay rates of their workforce at this troublesome time? It is safe to say that anybody is talking about how school proprietors themselves are enduring and helping their relatives during this lockdown?

“In Lagos for example, schools were closed down as far back as March. We are in June. Is it accurate to say that we are mindful that some school proprietors have not paid March and April compensations?”

Davido and fiancee Chioma reportedly call off engagement
Jun 13, 2020

Social media is currently buzzing with reactions following the news that Davido and his fiancee/baby mama, Chioma Rowland, have broken up.

According to popular blogger, Stella Dimoko Korkus (SDK) who shared the news, the couple are believed to be currently living in separate homes and are not on speaking terms with each other.

SDK also alleged that insiders revealed that Chioma did not have COVID19 as earlier made to believe. According to the gist, the couple had a fight back then and that story was sold to the public to hide ‘slap marks and punch marks’.

Part of her post reads: "Even though there are allegations that the couple are no longer together because he welcomed a new child with a 4th lady, I cannot say for certain that it is true but you can take it to the Bank that what is tearing them apart is greater than what bound them together.

There are also whispers that the story about being passed from her alleged ex to him also did some damage to their love…..sad!

Davido and Chioma are no longer as active as they used to be on their social media handles and Chioma has recently began to disable commenting from her page because of trolls while he is allegedly trying to recover and drop the crutches."

What Is a Visa?


A visa is an official document that allows the bearer to legally enter a foreign country. The visa is usually stamped or glued into the bearer’s passport.

Travel visas can be separated into two categories: Immigrant and Non-immigrant. Immigrant visas allow the bearer to reside permanently in the host country, whereas nonimmigrant visas allow the bearer entry into the host country on a temporary basis.

There are different kinds of visa's, such as;

1) Travel/Tourist Visa


Travel visas allow the bearer to enter a foreign country for touristic and leisure purposes only and stay for a predetermined amount of time. These visas do not entitle the holder to work or engage in any business activities in the host country.

2) Work Visa


Work visas are required for individuals who wish to take on employment or engage in business activities in the host country. There are several types of work visas that depend on the nature of the work and length of stay. For example, working holiday visas allow individuals to temporarily take on employment while travelling through the country.

3) Business Visa


A business visa allows the bearer to enter the host country and engage in business activities without joining that country’s labour market. For example, an individual may require a business visa if they are travelling to a country to do business with another company or if they are attending a business conference. The visitor typically must show that they are not receiving income from the country.

4) Student Visa


A student visa is a type of nonimmigrant visa that allows the bearer to enrol at a postsecondary educational institution in the host country. High school foreign exchange students must typically obtain a visa for temporary residence.

5) Refugee/Asylum Visa


Refugee visas and asylum visas can be granted to individuals fleeing persecution, war, natural disasters and other situations in which their life is at risk.

6) Working Holiday Visa


Working holiday visas allow the bearer to undertake temporary employment in a country through which they are travelling.

7) Spousal Visa
Spousal visas allow partners to visit each other when the couple does not hail from the same country.

8) Transit Visa


Travellers may sometimes require transit visas in order to pass through a country that is not their destination country. Transit visas are typically required if you have a layover in a country of more than a few hours.

9) eVisa


An eVisa, or electronic visa, is a digital visa that is stored in a database rather than stamped or glued into the bearer’s passport. The eVisa is linked to the individual’s passport number. Applications for eVisas are typically done over the Internet and the applicant will receive a paper document to present while travelling.

What Does a Visa Look Like?


Traditional visas can either be stamped or glued into your passport. If your visa is glued into your passport, a passpost is usually a small document that includes your name, passport number, place of birth, reason for travel and expiration date.

Stamped visas typically have less information on them. They usually only have the destination and date from which the visa is valid and official instructions stating how many days the visa is valid for.

What Is a Visa Policy?
A country’s visa policy is a rule that states who may or may not enter the country. The policy may allow passport holders of one country to enter visa-free but not the passport holders of another country. Most visa policies are bilateral, meaning that two countries will allow visa-free travel to each other’s citizens, but this is not always the case. For example, Canadian passport holders may travel to Grenada visa-free, but Grenadians must apply for a visa in order to travel to Canada.

The reason why such restrictions are placed is to check and control the flow of visitors, in and out of a country and to also prevent any illegal immigratioin and other criminal activities.

When do I really need a Visa?
When you need a visa depends on where you'd like to go. For example, if your home country has a visa agreement with the country to which you intend to travel, then you most likely don't need to apply for a visa beforehand.

However, if your home country doesn't have an agreement, then you have to apply for a visa beforehand.

How Do I Apply for a Visa?


Now, embassies typically offer visa application services, assistance and up-to-date information regarding visa and travel requirements. It’s always a good idea to check the embassy of your destination country to learn about travelling there.

You can also search online for the official government immigration website of the country you intend to visit. Once you’ve found and read all the information, including the visa application requirements, fill out the required travel visa application form. You may be able to send in the form electronically or you may be required to send it by mail. If your destination requires visa on arrival, then you don’t need to worry about applying for a travel visa beforehand. In this case, once you get to your destination you may be required to fill out a visa form and pay any applicable fees. Double check the requirements with the relevant website or consulate as you may need to bring a passport-sized photo as well.

What Are the Requirements for a Visa?
Each country has its own visa application requirements. Make sure to check with your destination country’s appropriate government website to find out.

If you do not meet the visa requirements for the country you intend to visit it is highly likely that your visa application will be denied and you will not be allowed entry into the country.

When filing your visa application with the embassy of the country you intend to visit, you will be asked to include supporting documents with the main visa application. The following is a list of commonly requested supporting documents:

1) Letter of invitation

2) A photocopy of the information page of your passport.

3) One or two photographs of a specific size determined by the visa office.

4) Proof of financial support during the trip.

5) Travel insurance.

6) Airplane tickets

7) Proof of purpose of travel

8) Visa application fees.

What to Expect During a Visa Interview?


Once you have filed your visa application, you may be requested to submit to a visa interview by the country you intend to visit. Most visa applications are approved or denied without the need for an interview, but the visa officer may request one. The following are common questions you may be asked during a visa interview:

1) Why do you want to travel to X country?

2) Why do you want to visit at this specific time?

3) Do you have a criminal record?

4) Are you travelling with someone else?

5) Who will you be visiting?

6) How long will you stay?

7) Where will you stay?

8) Have you booked airline tickets?

9) Do you have health insurance for this trip?

10) If you are currently employed, do you have proper leave from your workplace for the duration of the trip?

11) Will you return to your home country after your visit?

What Are the Fees for Obtaining a Visa?

Each country has different fees for obtaining a visa. Check with your intended destination’s government immigration website to find out the costs.

What Are Visa Processing Times?


Every country processes visa applications at a different rate. Make sure to check the government website of the country you intend to visit to find out how fast they process visa applications.

What is your answer to this question

Wedding takes place once in once lifetime and that once is supposed to be a memorable day but some mistakes may occur that makes one to regret whenever one remember the wedding day, avoiding these mistakes has to do with so many plan and proper management of time and resources that are available. This reminds me of the story of Flora, she planned the best and biggest wedding in town, but things went out of hand and anytime she looks back to see her wedding videos she feels bad because of some mistakes on her path, she felt like bringing the day back to correct them but it's not possible. Some of the mistakes bride often make on her wedding day are:

1. Not resting well before the wedding day: wedding plan and preparation is always tideous leaving one stressed out, the week before the wedding is always filled with activities but proper plan can help the bride to rest well before the wedding. So many bride don't use to take enough rest that makes them so weak on their wedding day and everything looks blur to them. Not resting enough before wedding can be highly regrettable, try to plan your rest as other plans arw on going.

2. Too many accessories: every bride wants to put on her best look on her and wedding day but too many accessories can ruin that beauty, make sure you minimize your use of accessories, any accessory that will make you uncomfortable when it stays on you for too long, any hair clip that will later make you feel uncomfortable should be avoided.

3. Absence of make up trial before the day: though you have hired a professional makeup artist, you still need to try out your makeup before the d-day, the makeup plan may fail on that day if care is not taken, some product may not be good enough, some kits may be missing; it is easy to fish them out before the day while undergoing a makeup trial.

4. Too much makeup: many people believe that they want to look the best on their wedding day and will not want anyone to look more beautiful than they are. Well makeup can only help you to be more beautiful if it is properly applied, many people make the mistake of doing too much makeup that end up making them look weird one their wedding day. Make sure you're on a moderate makeup.

5. Lack of proper budget: as much as money may be available for you, you still need to plan well so that you won't waste fund on unnecessary things leaving out the most important things out. So many bride start buying their wedding needs from the least important leaving them stranded afterward.

6. Not planning your dress well: as much as you want your appearance to look so beautiful, you must plan ease as well, some bride plan a well matching dress but fail to realize thst their shoe is too high for them to put on for so long, some others don't know that some accessories on their wedding gown will be destroyed by their shoes making them almost fall down per minutes. You need to plan your dresses well.

7. Forgetting to eat: many bride are often anxious about their wedding and they forget to eat, not eating can end up ruining your beautiful day, try as much as possible to eat so as to have enough strength for the day's activities. Try not to eat too much and don't eat liquid things that may want you easing yourself often.

8. Forgetting to get your bridal trains gift: it is very important to appreciate all the ladies that help you out with a token gift to show them how glad and grateful you are. Many people often forget this as many plan is running here and there, then they have to promise to get their gifts across which may not be easy, some don't even see the need to do so, it is good you get their gifts early enough.

BE PREPARED

Everyone is telling you how to NOT catch #coronavirus, but NO ONE is saying what to do if you get it. Thanks to this nurse in the UK for putting this guide together:

Finally, some sensible advice. From a GP Nurse in the UK.

What I have seen a lot of are recommendations for how to try to avoid getting coronavirus in the first place:

• good hand washing
• personal hygiene
• social distancing

but what I have NOT seen a lot of is advice for what happens if you actually get it, which many of us will.
So as your friendly neighborhood Nurse let me make some suggestions:

If you get Covid-19

You basically just want to prepare as though you know you’re going to get a nasty respiratory bug, like bronchitis or pneumonia. You just have the foresight to know it might come your way!

Things to start doing now:

Get 20 minutes sun on your entire body (or as much as possible) every day. This will dramatically increase your Vitamin D levels, which improves your immune system.

If affordable take a good general supplement, plus 2000mg Vit C a day. Include ZINC, SELENIUM & GLUTATHIONE.

Scott’s Emulsion is a great general tonic (cod liver oil)

Things you should actually buy ahead of time:

*Kleenex*

*Paracetamol*

*Cough medicine* of choice (check the label and make sure you're not doubling up on Paracetamol)

*Zinc lozenges*

*Throat spray* like Andolex or TCP

*Honey and lemon* can work just as well!

*Vicks* vaporub for your chest is also a great suggestion.

*A humidifier* would be a good thing to buy and use in your room when you go to bed overnight. (You can also just turn the shower on hot and sit in the bathroom breathing in the steam)

*If you have a history of asthma* and you have a prescription inhaler, make sure the one you have isn’t expired and refill it/get a new one if necessary.

*Meals* This is also a good time to meal prep: make a big batch of your favorite soup to freeze and have on hand.

*Hydrate* hydrate, hydrate! Stock up on whatever your favorite clear fluids are to drink, though tap water is fine you may appreciate some variety!

*For symptom management* and a fever over 38°c take Paracetamol rather than Ibuprofen.

*Rest lots* You should not be leaving your house! Even if you are feeling better you may will still be infectious for fourteen days and older people and those with existing health conditions should be avoided!

*Wear gloves and a mask* to avoid contaminating others in your house

*Isolate* in your bedroom if not living alone, ask friends and family to leave supplies outside to avoid contact.

*Sanitize* your bed linen and clothes frequently by washing and clean your bathroom with recommended sanitizers.

*You DO NOT NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL unless* you are having trouble breathing or your fever is very high (over 39°C) and unmanaged with meds.

90% of healthy adult cases thus far have been managed at home with basic rest/hydration/over-the-counter meds.

If you are worried or in distress or feel your symptoms are getting worse:

*Pre-existing risks* If you have a pre-existing lung condition (COPD, emphysema, lung cancer) or are on immunosuppressants, now is a great time to talk to your Doctor or specialist about what they would like you to do if you get sick.

*Children* One major relief to you parents is that kids do VERY well with coronavirus, they usually bounce back in a few days (but they will still be infectious) Just use pediatric dosing .

*Be calm and prepare rationally* and everything will be fine. This is to inform us all that the pH for corona virus varies from 5.5 to 8.5.

All we need to do, to beat corona virus, we need to take more of an alkaline foods that are above the above pH level of the Virus.

Some of which are:

*Lemon - 9.9pH*
*Lime - 8.2pH*
*Avocado - 15.6pH*
*Garlic - 13.2pH*
*Mango - 8.7pH*
*Tangerine - 8.5pH*
*Pineapple - 12.7pH*
*Dandelion - 22.7pH*
*Orange - 9.2pH*

How do you know you have coronavirus?

1. Itching in the throat
2. Dry throat
3. Dry couch
4. High temperature
5. Shortness of breath
6. Loss of sense of taste & smell
7. Covid toes - toes turning blue/black

To many, the popular cause of pimple is eating og groundnut and other oily foods. For years now people have believed Nad has led many to believe that groundnut is the caus of pimples. But when you ask them to explain how it happens, no one can.

To me, all the information passed to many concerning how groundnut causes pimple are all lies, myths and that's the truth.

People with pimples on their faces are usually advised not to take groundnut in order not to increase the level of pimples on their faces, but that's untrue.

While it is true that oily foods cause inflammation of the skin and what we know as pimples pop out, there is no research definitely linking specific foods to pimple outbreaks.



It's not bad to believe what you feel is the right thing, but you have to know that the process that leads to pimples appearing on the face is quite complex. Pimples are caused when pores become blocked and the oil which is meant to escape from the skin gets trapped in it, bacteria starts growing, which then leads to swollen pores on the face.

So when you see pimples on your face, it is not the groundnut you ate that caused it, but rather it is the blocked pores that get inflamed when natural oil cannot get out that caused it.

Moreover, there are those that have pimples on their faces but they don't eat groundnut.



Causes of pimples.
Family history : acne or pimples run in the blood. If you dad or mum had pimples when they were little, you might also have it, but if any of them don't you are also unlikely to have it.

Menstruation : while women are menstruating they tend to have pimples. When they are pregnant or have a condition known as Polycystic Ovaries, they have pimples too.

Smoking: smoking can cause pimples especially in older people.

Lack of good hygiene. Not practicing good hygiene can lead to pimples. We should try to wash our bed sheet and pillowcase always because our face makes contact with them when we use the bed or pillow.

Testosterone : People who have high Testosterone tend to have pimples. Testosterone is the hormone associated with puberty.

How To Cure Pimples.
Pimples have no cure but they can be well managed to prevent complications. The following ways are how you can reduce the effect of pimples.

1) Do not over wash your face as it can lead to irritation and cause you more pimples.

2) Avoid touching your face always or popping the pimples.

3) Eat fruits always, as it will help replenishing your skin. Also drink water constantly, to stay hydrated.



4) Use handkerchief to always clean your face.

5) Avoid sleeping with makeups.

6) Don't wash your face with very hot or cold water.

Note: Pimples don't stay forever, as you grow older they tend to go away.

Life would be so much easier if you knew without a doubt that the person you're currently dating is the right one for you. It would definitely save you the trouble of having to waste your time and get your heart broken by all the wrong ones.

Since life isn't as straightforward as many of us would like it to be, you may need to rely on signs, logic, and intuition, to determine whether your partner is really right for you or not. If you've been having second thoughts about your relationship, experts say there are a few telling signs that you've met your soulmate.

1. They encourage your success, not inhibit it
One of the most significant signs of having found someone you can spend your life with is that they want you to become successful and are clearly happy when you realize said accomplishment (or any other).

Most of the people you meet in your life will be far more concerned about themselves than you. They’ll be focused on what is in it for them and will only ever help you or be happy for you if it coincides with their own goals and desires.

Others, still, will actually be jealous of you and will want to hold you back so that you don’t become more successful than them. This is much more commonly seen in men who become jealous of their female partner’s success.

However, if you’ve found someone who offers to help, encourages you to take risks and realize your potential, and is genuinely happy when you succeed, you’ve uncovered a true gem of a person that really cares about you.

2. Loving each other for who they are and don’t want to change you
Similarly, if you find someone who accepts you for who you are and– this is the important part– doesn’t seek to change you or make you something or someone you’re not, you’ve found something really special.

Tracy Malone, founder of Narcissist Abuse Support says:

When you feel good, feel that your partner is patient and true, treats you the same in public as he/she does at home, then you’re on the right path. Keep in mind that your intuition may send out warnings as well. It may come as a gut reaction.

For example, if your partner wants to change you in any way. He/she is not accepting you for who you are. If that happens, run. That is a sign of a controlling person and he/she will never treat you properly.

Someone that treats you differently around their friends or family or whom consistently expresses displeasure with aspects of your physical body, opinions, interests, or personality doesn’t really care about you. They’re chasing an image in their mind of what the perfect partner is.

You need to find someone who respects, appreciates, and loves who you are. They can encourage you to make progress, in an effort to support and encourage you, but only if it’s something you’ve already expressed interest in changing (or have your best interest in mind). Therefore, they’re supporting you because it’s what you truly want or need and aren’t attempting to further some unconscious agenda.

3. Expressing sincere care for your well-being without wanting anything in return
You should be looking for someone who, over time, comes to truly care about you without asking for something in return. The relationship shouldn’t feel like a give-and-take situation but them simply expressing the desire to care for you whether you return the affection, favor, or give them something in return or not.

True love requires that the other person cares for you no matter what happens. No matter where you live, how much money make, what you do for a living, who else is in your life, what you believe, and what you can give in return.

Of course, you have work to do on your end. You need to consider each and every one of these three important qualities as well and seek to express them. It takes real work and, I promise you, isn’t an automatic thing just because you’re a good person.

Happy Weekend.

Most day to day common things we do usually reveal alot about the kind of person we are. Those tiny details which majority don't even notice have significant meaning. Psychologists are able to tell what is the problem with an individual by studying tiny details which others would have termed irrelevant.

Now, the body part you wash first reveals alot about your personality. Below are the various body parts you wash first and what it says about you:

1) Washing your chest first; If most times you observe you do wash your chest first, that means you have a confident personality. You are practical and honest to yourself. You're straightforward and determined.


2) Washing your face first; If you constantly start with your face while showering, that means you're concerned about what other people think of you. You value other people's opinion of yourself. You don't want people to have a bad notion about you and you are very uncomfortable with criticism.


3) Washing your privates first; If you wash your privates first, this means you're introverted by nature. You're shy in most cases and you have difficulty having your own opinion in groups. But you're a very kind person and people are always comfortable around you. You never make others feel bad about themselves.

4) Washing your arms or legs first; Washing your arms or legs first shows you are strong willed and courageous. Washing your legs first also shows you're humble. You're always ready to air your views without fear or intimidation. Washing your armpit shows you're reliable and trustworthy.


5) Washing your back; If you wash your back first it shows you are a 'me' type. You don't want alot of friends and you're comfortable in your own skin. You don't talk much and you're a hard worker, and a good finisher too.

6) Washing your neck and shoulders first; This shows you're an optimistic person. You face challenges squarely without hesitation. You make goals and achieve them no matter what it takes.

7) Washing hair first; If you usually wash your hair first, this shows you're a realist. You're also logical. You make use of your head not your heart in making decisions. You aren't too emotional.

Of course all these are not professionally proven or anything of such, they're just simple observations made by a number of people who have observed it.Where do you wash first? Does any of this say anything about your personality?

Nigeria’s sweetheart Tiwa Savage has subtly revealed why things did not work out between herself and the men she has been linked to in the past.

The mother of one says there is no way on this earth that she would come second in another man’s life because she is her father’s only daughter and she has been treated and loved all her life as the one and only. She cannot stand for things to be otherwise.

Tiwa Savage was once married to a music producer who also doubled as her manager Tee Billz. They walked down the aisle in a splashy ceremony in Dubai in 2014 and the marriage packed home in 2018.

They share a son together who they have been co-parenting to the best of our knowledge since the divorce.

Since her divorce, the sensational singer has been linked to lots of men but mostly colleague singer Wizkid.

Their obvious closeness has sparked lots of rumors. Each one of us still probably believes they have more to their supposed friendship relationship although they have come out times without count that they enjoy just a sibling-like relationship.

Perhaps there is some truth in it, after all, Tiwa says she does not want to come second in any man’s life and Wizkid has never been a one-woman man— a plausible reason why things did not work between herself and the Joro crooner.

Catarrh and Cold which are always accompanied by coughs are very painful yet not regarded as major diseases by many.

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, here are strong remedies to give you instant relieve:

2. Lukewarm water

Drink lukewarm water; it helps in reducing any sort of inflammation in your throat, cures sore throat and washes off any kind of infection.

Drink a lot of fluids to keep the body hydrated; a hydrated body does not suffer the full effect of a cold. Just make sure you do not drink fluids that contain alcohol or caffeine since they are known to cause dehydration.

Bonus: Drink Carrot juice, it is really good for getting rid of catarrh and cold.

China has consolidated more than half of the world’s Bitcoin mining operations. What threats could the situation create?

Could China take over the Bitcoin (BTC) ecosystem? It’s a very real possibility, and it could happen very quickly because China controls more than half of the world’s Bitcoin mining operations — upward of 65% of the computing power to mine Bitcoin. No other country is anywhere near that number. Additionally, according to Genesis Mining’s recent “The State of Crypto Mining 2020” report, 60% of Bitcoin owners have a real concern about that Chinese majority and what it could mean for the stabilization of the cryptocurrency.

And they should be worried. China owning more than half of mining operations could result in a disruption to the system, instability to the Bitcoin blockchain or even a takeover of the entire system. Bitcoin was not built to be a controlled currency.

So, why is China’s vast mining network a concern? In order to understand the potential threat in China’s majority control, we need to look at a fundamental attribute of how the Bitcoin ecosystem works: decentralization.

Bitcoin works on a decentralized system
The founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, had a vision for a currency that wouldn’t be subject to a third party such as a bank, but that could be democratically exchanged from individual to individual. The Bitcoin ecosystem works because of the community behind it: the miners who add blocks to the chain and the nodes that scan transactions to make sure they adhere to the Bitcoin protocol. There’s no one entity that governs Bitcoin — and that’s the point.

Even though Bitcoin has a strongly decentralized network, it could still be threatened. If someone were to control over 50% of the power used in mining operations, they could possibly disrupt the entire system through what’s called a 51% attack, or majority attack. A majority control would allow the attacker to alter transactions, double spend Bitcoin for their own gain or even block other miners from mining.

Which is why it’s concerning that Chinese mines are running 65% of the global hashing power used to mine Bitcoin. It’s certainly more than 51%.

Why China owns a large portion of Bitcoin computing power
It takes a lot of energy to mine Bitcoin, so it would make sense that miners would set up their rigs in places where energy and labor costs are cheap. Because China is a center of international trade, lead times and production costs for almost all goods are lower than in other countries, and this also holds true for mining farms and miners. But while a number of mining farms do run on sustainable resources such as hydroelectric power, many rely on coal to fuel their mining. While coal may be cheaper than other fuels such as gas and oil, it’s still more expensive than alternative options such as hydroelectric and wind power, and it’s unsustainable and detrimental to the environment.

Concerns over control
Having 65% of the world’s mining located in China is a concern. Even though Chinese mines work independently, the majority of the power is now located in one country. And the fact that the Chinese government has control over all of its industries is also a concern. If the government decides that it wants to take over the Bitcoin ecosystem, it could leverage its power over the country’s mining companies and simply take over a majority of the computing power, executing a 51% attack. Suddenly, the decentralized system would be centralized under one country.

Uncertainty around China’s future in mining
While this could be a very real scenario if all the right pieces fell into place, it’s probably a long shot. New players in the mining market are increasingly setting up shop in the European Nordic states, Canada and the United States. The running costs there, which include cheaper energy options such as hydroelectric and wind power, along with a lack of government oversight that would let companies plan their strategies freely make those locations attractive for investors looking for a more sustainable opportunity.

Additionally, it’s unclear what China’s future will be with Bitcoin. It, along with all cryptocurrency, has been banned in the country for years. Though mining had been allowed to continue, the industry as a whole was on the chopping block last year. Even though the Chinese government suddenly announced at the end of 2019 a commitment to developing blockchain technology and allowed mines to continue to operate, the government still hasn’t reversed its ban on cryptocurrency. Even though China could take over Bitcoin, it just might not want to.

Still, China’s overwhelming number of miners, mining pools and companies is something the Bitcoin community needs to be aware of. At the same time, the community can ensure that decentralization continues within the ecosystem by making sure it’s keeping its own mining operations diversified. As I mentioned above, we’re seeing new mining farms cropping up in new geographies, which will continue to distribute resources and mining power across the globe.

It’s yet to be seen what the future of Chinese mining will be. But the Bitcoin community, which values transparency and democracy, will work to ensure that it remains open and available to all.

Do you know that there are lot of fake phone products in the market recently?

6. check the Ram of the phone, if the Ram of the phone is not the same with the Original then it is a fake android phone

7. Check the inbuilt space of the phone, if the phone is not fake then it should have up to the standard of the original phone

Hushpuppi’s alleged ex-girlfriend Amirah Dyme has made a call for his release following the arrest of the Nigerian ‘Big Boy’ who was picked up by Interpol and FBI in Dubai.

Hushpuppi was allegedly arrested by FBI and INTERPOL for his involvement in a fraudulent case.

Nigeria is the most populuos country in West Africa. It is a land so blessed, a land so prosperous with many natural resources in such abundance that other countries can only dream of. Yet, relative to its prosperity, she still have internal problems.

The most prominent of this problem is the valuation of its currency to the dollar. Her currency, the Nigerian Naira is far too weak for a country its size. The current dollar to naira exchange leaves the Nigerian Naira at 386.9 Naira to 1 dollar. What a margin!

With such a low dollar exchange rate, the Nigerian Naira is almost valueless in many countries of the world. But there is good news. Our currency actually has more value than some countries. Our situation therefore isn't the worst in the world. I have highlighted countries whose situation are much worse than ours.

In descending order, these are five Countries where our Nigerian Naira will make you a king. Why? Because our Naira to their currency exchange rate is very high.

1. Venezuela

Venezuela is a South American country located on the north east of the South American coast. It is the 33rd largest country in terms of land mass. Their currency is the Venezuelan Sovereign Bolivar (VES).

1 Nigerian Naira (NGN) equals 512.84 Venezuelan Sovereign Bolivar (VES).

2. Iran

Iran sits on a large plateau, therefore it is thousands of feet higher than its immediate neighbors. Only a small part of Iran's land is suitable for growing crops. Iran has a population of about 80 million.

This country lies in the middle East. Their currency is the Iranian Rial.

1 Nigerian Naira (NGN) equals 108.83 Iranian Rial (IRR).

3. Vietnam

Vietnam is a Asian country located in the south east. It is very famous among other Asian countries as it is a top tourist destination.

Their currency is known as the Vietnamese Dong.

1 Nigerian Naira (NGN) equals 60.14 Vietnamese Dong (VND).

4. Indonesia

Indonesia is the fourth most populated country in the world. It has over 17,500 islands of which 6000 are inhabited.

Indonesia's currency is the Indonesian Rupiah.

1 Nigerian Naira (NGN) equals 36.43 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).

5. Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is one of the only two countries in the world that is double landlocked. What does that mean? It simply means Uzbekistan is surrounded by landlocked countries.

The national currency of Uzbekistan is the Uzbek Sum (UZS).

1 Nigerian Naira (NGN) equals 26.21 Uzbek Sum (UZS).

6. Laos

Laos is an excellent tourist destination. If you are someone who loves to be in nature or to participate in adventure activities, then Laos is the place for you. Kayaking and hiking is one of the many things you can do when you are in Laos.

The Laotian Kip is what is spent in Laos.

1 Nigerian Naira (NGN) equals 23.27 Laotian Kip (LAK).

Ayuba said the committee was thorough in the process of conducting the exercise, adding that the process was recorded and the unedited recording would be made available to the party.

It's very difficult approaching a girl you don't know very well or at all for the first time, this is because guys tend to b be very concerned as for what the outcome will be, how she will react, what she will take or if she will ever reply. But on thing most guys don't know is that girls to have this feeling but the have very strange and funny way of showing them.

How To Approach A Lady In A Public Place;

1. Eye contact

Girls are very shy, even though they are crushing on you so hard, they will never walk up to you to let you know. They usually show their interest on someone through her contacts and body language. If she is constantly staring at you or remove her eyes when you spot her staring then it means she probably likes something you are doing or wants to take with you but don't know how to.

In a scenario like this you as guy need to stare back at her and let her know that you are staring, it will give her a feeling that you are feeling the same vibes she is feeling.


2. Approach from the right angle.

Approach her with the right angle, you need to let her know that you mean no harm and you just want to talk. Approach her in a way that she can see you coming towards her don't walk in a hurry, don't walk rugged or act rugged, just act simple and friendly with a smile.


3. Be friendly.

Be friendly in your character, manner of approach and dressing. This will make her feel safe and secure talking to you. You need to show her (through the way you act) that you just want to talk and be a friend. In been friendly your body posture and your tone is very important. Talk softly, keep calm and look at her often.


4. Start a conversation

In starting a conversation, you need to understand the person you are talking with. To make things easy start by taking about the current environment you both found yourself, give compliment about the place either bad or good and try to hear what she as to say, what ever compliment she gives, use it as a start point to start a conversation, e.g if she says the environment is nice ask her what makes her think so, she will tell you things that make her think the place is nice, then pick one of the things she said and talk about it.


5. Understand her reaction to the topic.

While talking to her, understand her reaction towards the topic and understand her body language. If it's a topic she finds interesting, she would want to bring out a lots of points and opinion but if it's a topic she does not find interesting she would want to end by giving only few opinion. When you find out that she is giving only few opinions drop the topic and and try to bring up another topic but before you bring up the topic compliment her a little to put a smile on her before bringing up another topic, this will make her show interest on what you want to say next.


6. Pay attention to her points.

While having the conversation pay good attention to her points and opinion and let here know you are following up. You can do this by repeating what she said in some of you points, e.g remember you said you like dogs without tails, for me I think dogs without tails look dangerous. When you do this it gives her that feeling that you are worth talking to.


7. Don't always agree with her.

In some cases you can agree with her but constantly agreeing with her will make the conversation short and boring this is Because it will look like you both are have the same opinions about the topic and hence there is no need to talk on it.


8. Put on a smile.

Put on a smile always well talking with her don't keep a straight face or sad face. Putting a smile on your face will make her feel comfortable, safe and happy.


10. Ask her to hang out with you later.

Create another time to hang out with her but don't make the time to long or short, ask her the kind of place she would like to hang out, but don't sound too desperate to hang out.


11. Ask for her number

After you guys have agreed to hang out some other times ask her for her number so that you can keep in touch. Call her immediately to make sure she has your number as well.


With these points talking to any girl in a public place is sure for you.

President Muhammad Buhari on Friday morning addressed Nigerians on the occasion of this year Democracy Day.
The speech was broadcasted from the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The president congratulates Nigerians for 21 years of uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria.

President Muhammad Buhari also honors our founding fathers who fought for the independence of the country.

These are the five takeaways from the president's speech.

1. The dedication of our health and other essential services staff towards containing this virus is a testament of our courage and resilience as a people and as a great nation, and I use this opportunity to say thank you to all of you for your service to the nation.

2. The external reserves grew from $33.42 billion on April 29th, 2020 to about $36.00 billion in May 2020 which is enough to finance seven months of import commitments.



3. On the 2nd Niger Bridge, piling work has been completed and the approach roads are being constructed. 48% of the work on this bridge has been achieved.

4. The Lagos-Ibadan Rail Line is 90% completed and would be extended to the Lagos Port which would help address the long-standing gridlock at the Apapa port.

5. Furthermore, the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency has completed routine maintenance on over 4,000km of federal roads out of the 5,000km targeted.



6. Nigeria remains committed to expanding access to quality education to enhance the productivity of its citizens and would continue to pursue the enforcement of free and compulsory basic education for the first 9 years of schooling.

7. In the area of security, we remain unshaken in our resolve to protect our national infrastructure including on-shore and off-shore oil installations, secure our territorial waters and end piracy in the Gulf of Guinea.

Ending insurgency, banditry and other forms of criminality across the nation is being accorded appropriate priorities and the men and women of the Armed Forces of Nigeria have considerably downgraded such threats across all geo-political zones.

I regret recent sporadic incidents with tragic loss of lives in Katsina and Borno States as a result of criminals taking advantage of COVID-19 restrictions. Security Agencies will pursue the perpetrators and bring them to swift justice.

8. Our Government has continued to work to reduce social and economic inequality through targeted social investment programmes, education, technology and improved information.

Our Social Investment Programme has continued to be a model to other nations and has engaged 549,500 N-Power beneficiaries, 408,682 beneficiaries of the Conditional Cash Transfer Programme ... and 2,238,334 beneficiaries of the Growth Enhancement and Empowerment Programme. This is being done in collaboration with the States.

9. Under the National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme, over 9,963,729 children are being fed to keep them in school and improve their nutritional status.

10. Nigeria recorded its first case of COVID-19 on February 27th 2020 and within the first 100 days, I have had cause to address the nation on three occasions within one month, which underscores the gravity of this pandemic.

Like many Nigerians, I feel the grief and pain not only as your President but also as someone who has lost a close member of my staff and some relatives and friends.
