Former President Olusegun Obasanjo believes the nation is in its present situation because of the choices Nigerians make. He stated this on Saturday while addressing a gathering of politicians in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital. The former president stressed the need for the country to take its rightful place among the comity of nations in terms of development, not just on the continent but across the world. He said, “God did not create Nigeria to be a failed country; God created Nigeria to be one of the leading countries among the comity of nations. “That we are not there is not the fault of God; that we are not there is the conscious and unconscious choice of people of Nigeria.” Former President Obasanjo advised the people and the government to be proactive in tackling the many problems facing the country. He was optimistic and confident that the future of the nation was bright, saying Nigeria would be great again and leave behind its economic and political challenges. “I j

The Pastor of the Household of God Church and presidential candidate of the Fresh Democratic Party, Pastor Chris Okotie, in this interview, says his bid for the number one office in the country is predicated on his decision to rescue Nigeria from looming implosion and restoring it to the path of progress.                            *Chris Okotie But his idea about how Nigeria can progress is based on putting in place an interim government! He says if he becomes the President, he will jettison the present political system with the Constitution and institute a new paradigm shift in governance. You recently wrote the two major political parties, the PDP and APC, on the 2019 polls. Have you received a reply? Not at all! The important thing is that the information has been conveyed to them. They have been engrossed with their intra party activities and this is not unexpected. The clear thing now is that there is still a parochial tendency towards political activities. There is stil

NEWSWhat I will do to El-Rufai for calling me ‘tribal bigot’- Peter ObiPublished on November 10, 2018 By Fikayo Olowolagba  The Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Peter Obi, on Saturday called on Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State to stop making hate speeches that will divide and destroy the country Obi said this while reacting to El Rufai’s tweet describing him as “a tribal bigot.” El-Rufai had in a tweet claimed that Obi supported his (El-Rufai’s) arrest by the Department of State Services, DSS in 2014 on the ground that “El-Rufai has no business being in Anambra State as it is not Katsina State.” Obi, while answering questions from journalists on the matter at a youth programme in Nnewi, Anambra State on Saturday, expressed shock at statement from El-Rufai.

Here the National chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Comrade Adams Oshiomhole speak on his return from US visit. “DSS have the right to invite any citizen. I drove myself to DSS,I drove myself back after having a conversation with them. As the chairman of party in government, they seek explanation and party positions especially when accusations of disobedience to court orders that might threaten state security are made in some states where some governors are not happy with the outcome of the primaries . My duty is to educate them with facts not sensation” “Any day DSS will invite any opposition party chairman, they will write to U.N,E.U and even Heaven. Once you are not under immunity, you must subject yourself to institutions. But those who have skeleton in their cupboard will influence the media to exaggerate the invitation. “President Buhari position remains that every institution must be allowed to discharge their duties without interference. He doesn’t interfere

Former Minister of Culture, Olufemi Olukayode has taken to Facebook to buttress Nnamdi Kanu’s claim of President Buhari being substituted with a double who now parades himself as the President. He highlighted some observations to support the claim. #See the observations below. Been thinking. 1. Buhari went for surgery in January. 2. The story was that he didn’t quite make it and was brain-dead. 3. Aisha came back crying in April. 4. Aisha was later barred by Mamman Daura and Abba Kyari from seeing Buhari. 5. In June/July, Buhari started receiving visitors in London. 6. Story was that he was always laughing (me, thinks his double was still learning the ropes and was always laughing to hide what he didn’t know). 7. Buhari supposedly arrived Nigeria in July. 8. The Buhari wasn’t holding meetings or seen in public. 9. The Buhari became more vicious (even beyond his own evil threshold). 10. Ango Abdulahi had earlier alleged he was a double Buhari. 11.

Tinubu had gone to France ahead of the President’ s visit to the country. It was further learnt that the meeting between Tinubu and Oshiomhole centred on the growing plot by aggrieved party members especially governors to remove Oshiomhole from office.

Senator Hope Uzodimma’s name has been pasted as the governorship candidate of the Imo state All Progreeives Congress (APC) in Imo state, by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The name of Uzodimma, was pasted at the INEC, office along portharcourt road in Owerri, with Akaolisa Cyprain Okechukwu, as his running mate. At 07:52pm Uzodimma’s name was displayed as the authentic governorship flag-bearer of APC, in Imo state. This is coming about after 10 hours, INEC, pasted other governorship names of various political parties, excluding that of APC. A source disclosed that, “Immediately, the court struck out the order by the Okorocha’s faction stopping the name of Senator Uzodimma, from publishing as the candidate of the party. “The judgement was taken to the National headquarters of INEC, and an order was given that the name of Hope should be pasted immediately. “When the order came, to INEC in Owerri, the administrative head was not on sit but the legal adviser r

Amidst the raging controversy trailing the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has insisted that Senator Hope Uzodinma is not a member of the party in the state. He said that Uzodinma’s purported membership of the party was announced in Abuja and that he had never attended any meeting of the party in his ward, local government (Oru East) or at the state level. This, he said, was the reason no APC member in the state was excited when the party’s National Chairman- Comrade Adams Oshiomhole announced him as his preferred governorship candidate of the party in the state. “APC members in Imo State see Chief Uzodinma as still a staunch member of the PDP and that was the reason behind the dead silence in Imo over the announcement of his name as the governorship candidate of the party. “If Chief Uzodinma was to be a known member of the party, there would have been celebration in Imo and the Chieftains of the party in Abuja backin

A statement made available to journalists in Awka by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, the group regretted that priests that are meant to be at the forefront of the emancipation of the masses are encouraging oppressors to continue killing IPOB members. The statement reads in part: “It is now in the public domain that Christ the King Church (CKC) in Aba, Abia State called on Nigeria Government and her security agencies to begin a clampdown on any individual suspected to be member of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB). “The same politicians that have connived to suffer our people are the people

Investigations by SaharaReporters revealed that aspirants paid between N15 million and N50 million to secure the tickets for the various elective positions during or at the end of primaries, that a party member has described as "dirty". In the end, Oshiomhole, his Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Abbas and National Treasurer, Adamu Panda were the ones behind the last-minute substitution of the candidates' names, hours before the submission. Says a lot about the destinations of the various sums, and about why Oshiomhole is in serious trouble. Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been in the news recently but not for good reasons. It was reported by various news platforms earlier this week that the former Edo State Governor was grilled on Sunday by the Department of State Services (DSS) over allegations of financial impropriety. Oshiomhole, whose reign as National Chairman of the ruling party has been stormy, is now in the eye of the st

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole, is expected to return to the Department of State Security Services, DSS, for further interrogation, anytime he returns back to the country. It was gathered that President Muhammadu Buhari was informed by the Director-General of the DSS, Yusufi Bichi, about the desire of the Agency to grill Oshiomhole, over allegations levelled against him by some aggrieved members of the party Presidency sources revealed that the President actually asked the DSS to “go ahead and do their job”, when he was told about the allegations of the party National Chairman. Recall that Oshiomhole, who became the National Chairman of the APC, less than five months ago, has been having a running battle with some Governors and Leaders within the ruling party. Security sources confirmed that Oshiomhole would be expected to return for interrogation on his return to the country. Investigations showed that the interrogation of Os

 Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State is still battling with his dwindling political fortunes, invasion of his property and secret rumblings from the State House of Assembly, a court has ordered the enforcement of a Garnishee order granted former Governor Ikedi Ohakim against the Imo State Government to the tune of N290, 068,717.57 This is also as four commercial banks, Diamond Bank on Item Street; First Bank on Bank Road; United Bank for Africa on Mbari Street and Union Bank on Douglas Road, all in Owerri, the Imo State capital were sealed and officially secured by red tapes.

The APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, might have landed in hot water. President Muhammadu Buhari, contrary to initial report, was aware of his party man’s ordeal in the hand of the DSS. Based on the allegations of bribery swirling around the chairman, Buhari has also ordered the DSS to further do their job. Out of the country now, Oshiomhole might be arrested or invited for further interrogation as soon as he is back, according to sources within the Villa. His trouble started when bad losers in the party’s primaries waged war against him, alleging he took bribes form members in some states. Many of the party men in the southwest believe he was doing the bidding of their national leader Bola Tinubu. Tinubu and some governors have made effort to save Oshiomhole from any embarrassment resulting from the primaries. But Buhari still wants the chairman to be investigated. The DSS had intended to keep the investigation a secret affair, and send the report to the president whe

The South-East Governors’ Forum has thrown their full weight behind their kinsman and Deputy President of the Senate, Chief Ike Ekweremadu who allegedly escaped an assassination attempt on Tuesday. The governors have made an unequivocal call for a thorough and unbiased investigation on the alleged attempted assassination of Ekweremadu. The forum also rejected what it described as “hasty conclusion’’ by the investigating security agency that the attack was a case of burglary. Director-General of the forum, Prof. Simon Ortuanya, made the call on Wednesday in Enugu while briefing newsmen on the governors’ position on the issue. Ortuanya said that the careful and methodical execution of the plot as reported pointed to something more sinister than burglary. According to him, if the mission was mere burglary, the so-called burglars would not have prevailed on the son to take them to his father’s bedroom. He said that the alleged attempted attack on Ekweremadu had cast a dar

Veteran comedian, Alibaba, has shared his thoughts on the new increase in minimum wage for Nigerian civil servants from N18,000 to N30,000, as advocated by the Nigerian Labour Congress. According to him; “Market forces will swallow up that salary increase in 3-months. The quality of life has to be much better. The exchange rate has to drop to say N100 to $1, and with fuel still being imported, no chance of that happening”, he wrote. However, just to make himself happy, he celebrated the increase from N18,000 to N30,000. “Hey let’s celebrate, minimum wage is now N30,000. Some governors who have not been able to pay 18k must now pay 30k. Oya let’s dance jare”, he wrote on his Instagram page. We bring the news to you as it comes.....

Nollywood star, Ramsey Nouah, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration of failing to keep Nigerians updated on its plans. The actor barred his mind in a chat with  reporters  said, “I always shy away from discussing politics in Nigeria because it is a sensitive subject but right now it’s hard to tell where Nigeria is headed. Most importantly, the government is making a huge mistake of not divulging enough information with the polity. They are so fixated in the old way of passing information oblivious of the fact that these days everything is open. The presidency should come out and deem it to talk about its daily, weekly and even monthly plans with the citizenry. “They need to thoroughly address issues that affect Nigerians. But they don’t do that and then they just assume that we know they would work on it (issues). It is only when there is so much public outcry and criticism that the president’s offices will come out once in a while and to say “we are working on

Apart from infidelity , perennial difficulty in having a child , dismal sexual experience , poor communication , abuse , unrealised expectations ( frustration ), incompatibility and strange habits , financial concern is one other important factor that causes problems in many homes . In some customary courts across the country, there have been instances where marriages have been dissolved , for peace to reign , owing to couples ’ inability to manage their finances. In some homes , the lack or insufficiency of it could be an issue , while in some other instances , the money is available but couples still find it difficult to find a middle ground for there to be peace. Also , with inflation rate at about 11 per cent , amounting to a drop in the purchasing power of the currency and impliedly , more money chasing few goods , it seems understandable that finance may be an issue in many homes . Thus , it seems helpful to see how couples could eliminate or reduce the issues that emanate a
