Read Goodluck Jonathan Xmas Message To Nigerians

I love the game of football, and today, as I was watching a game, it occurred to me that even the most talented footballer in the world can not go anywhere if he will not work with others. Talent may win some games, but only teamwork wins the Championship. Jesus Christ our Lord, was born to bring people together and no matter the temptation to pursue individual or group interests over the collective, let us not forget that you and I belong to Team Nigeria and we must never allow individual or group aspirations distract us from the Championship ambition we have as a nation to be a beacon of hope in Africa and a pillar of the International Community. Merry Christmas from my family and I to you and your family. GEJ.

Ekiti Debt: Fayose Will Go To Jail After Tenure, Says APC

By Unknown 12:12 No comments:

The Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has told the state Governor, Ayodele Fayose, that it would have his days in the courts over fabricated figures on the state’s debts to deceive the people and paint former Governor, Kayode Fayemi, in bad light.
Reacting to the claims by Fayose’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, that Fayemi plunged the state into debts without any commensurate development projects to show for it, the party’s Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said in a statement that it was only the blind that would not see various development projects executed by the former governor.
“Fayemi did not borrow to pay salary. He received awards from many international bodies, including the United Nations’ agency and top Nigerians, for the feats he recorded in development projects, the last being the award for the state that led in budget transparency among other states in Nigeria that Fayose tried to usurp.
“Fayose lied that Fayemi at a point, collected N9 billion as monthly federal allocation. The records are there that the state monthly share of federal allocation remained N2.8 billion throughout and the biggest being N3.2 billion when excess crude oil fund was shared among the states.
“The former governor owed one month salary, and that was September 2014, and this was as a result of Fayose as governor-elect writing the banks not to honour Fayemi’s credit facility to pay workers salary and pay the banks back after receiving the allocation for the month in question,” Olatunbosun explained.
He added: “Fayemi paid N2.2 billion monthly for salaries, pensions and subventions to higher institutions throughout his tenure.
“With thousands of workers losing their jobs and many social services suspended, including stoppage of social security stipends to the elderly when Fayose became the governor, monthly wage bill has reduced to less than N2billion contrary to N2.6billion that Fayose is claiming as the monthly wage bill.”
He challenged the governor to produce the official debt figure of the State that is different from N18billion that the Debts Management Office declared was the state’s debt, saying Fayose was lying by quoting N232billion.
“Fayose is a pathological liar by his claim that the state debt is 232.9billion to be paid back in 21 years. The Federal Ministry of Finance published the state allocations in the newspapers few days ago with the state receiving N1.9billion but Fayose declared that he received N1.3billion.
“This is a man who has introduced all manner of taxes that he can’t account for, yet he comes everyday declaring that the state is broke.
“We hereby issue him a deadline of seven days to render accounts of all monies he has received since he assumed office, including various taxes he imposed on the people.
“The civil servants who he owed three months salaries and allowances as well as Ekiti people generally deserve to know how their money is being spent.”
Failure to do this will compel APC to mobilise civil society groups and all men of good conscience to press for the investigation and prosecution of Fayose who has made lying his official government policy,” Olatunbosun concluded

Civilian Vigilante Groups Fighting Boko Haram To Be Integrated Into Armed Forces

By Unknown 12:06 No comments:

Nigeria’s Defense Minister, Mansur Muhammad Dan-Ali, on Thursday disclosed that some civilians who have been fighting alongside the Joint Task Force against Islamist insurgents will soon be integrated into the armed forces.

Mr. Muhammad Dan-Ali made the disclosure during a courtesy visit to Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State in Maiduguri, the state capital. Nigeria’s Chief of Defense Staff, General G.A. Olanisakin, Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall S.B. Abubakar, and other military officers accompanied the minister on the visit.

The minister stated that numerous civilians had supported the military in counter-insurgency operations. He also assured the people of Borno State that the end of terrorist attacks by Boko Haram insurgents would soon come.

“Since President Muhammadu Buhari’s assumption of office, we have gained more ground against Boko Haram terrorists. And I assure you the menace of Boko Haram will soon be over,” Mr. Muhammad Dan-Ali declared.

He added that some civilian fighters would be integrated into the armed forces after necessary reviews. The minister thanked Governor Shettima for providing 30 sports utility vehicles to aid “Operation Dole Lafia,” the code name for the military’s counter-insurgency operations. According to the minister, the vehicles would help ease the task of the military.

Mr. Shettima expressed his gratitude to the minister and officially presented the 30 vehicles worth N304 million. He added that the state government was determined to continue assisting troops in their fight against Boko Haram.

Falana Calls For Buratai's Arrest

By Unknown 11:59 No comments:

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to prosecute the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, alongside other soldiers involved in the violent attack that led to the killing of scores of Shi’ite members in Zaria, Kaduna State.

Falana, in a statement titled, ‘Armed soldiers who attacked Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaki should be prosecuted,’on Wednesday also enjoined the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, to allow all detainees arrested in connection with the clash access to their families, doctors and lawyers.

The human rights activist reminded the Police and the Army authorities that in the 1996 case between the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi and the late Gen. Sani Abacha, the Court of Appeal had ordered the Attorney-General of the Federation, the Inspector-General of Police and the operatives of the Department of State Services to allow the late Fawehinmi’s wife and personal physicians to have access to him in prison “at all reasonable times.”

He said, “It is pertinent to remind the army and police authorities that even under a repressive military junta, the right of access to detainees was fought and won in Nigeria. Thus, in Chief Gani Fawehinmi vs General Sani Abacha (1996) 5 NWLR (PT 447) 198 at 202, the Court of Appeal ordered the Attorney-General of Federation, Inspector-General of Police and the operatives of the State Security Services to allow the wife and personal physicians of the appellant, a political detainee, to have access to him in prison custody ‘at all reasonable times.’

“In requesting the Inspector-General of Police to allow access to the detainees, his attention ought to be drawn to Section 14(2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act which provides as follows:

“A person who has the custody of an arrested suspect shall give the suspect reasonable facilities for obtaining legal advice, access to communication for taking steps to furnish bail, and otherwise making arrangements for his defence or release.

“In the light of the foregoing, we urge the police boss to allow the detainees access to their family members, personal physicians and legal practitioners at all reasonable times. Having undertaken to end impunity in the country, President Buhari should ensure that the Chief of Army Staff and all the soldiers who took part in the violent attack and arson in Zaria are brought to book without any further delay.”

By Unknown 11:53 No comments:

The super famous couple, who are renovating their French chateau-style mansion in Hidden Hills, California, are also rehabbing a vineyard on the 3-acre property, US Weekly reports.

“They consulted experts to get it operable again,” a source tells the site.

“Kanye loves wine, and he’s really excited about this. He even joked about having a Yeezus Wine!” the source continued about the 38-year-old rapper who’s definitely in good spirits about the project.

Kanye’s name-dropped Moscato in his rhymes and once rapped about drinking “wine like Communion.”

The insider however says Kimye do not intend to sell the vino in the vein of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pitt’s Miraval Rosébut “They just want to make their own wine at home.”

The vineyard is just another addition to the $20 million estate that they’ve been working on since August 2014.

Their home boasts“two swimming pools, two spas, two built-in barbecue setups, a pool house … three fountains, and a 1,050-square-foot entertainment pavilion,” according to Realtor.com.

“They are still gutting out the bottom floor and expanding it beyond 20,000 feet,” a second source adds.

Yemi Alade In Major Snub Controversy… SEE What She Did!!!

By Unknown 11:51 No comments:

In the now deleted Instagram post, Grace Alex narrated how she met Yemi Alade yesterday (December 23) and was turned down when she wanted to take a picture with her.

“So yesterday I had this photo-shoot with my little brother and then decided to get something from silverbird galleria, once we got in I recognized @yemialade and I was a little excited which I learnt better after yesterday. So I got closer and asked someone who was close, if I could take a picture after standing close by for like 3 minutes taking these distant photos and I was told that I can’t until I get some of he items she was selling. An arm bracelet for 9,500 and a necklace for 11,500, in my mind that was too much.

So when She was leaving the scene I got close and nicely asked if my 10 year old brother and I could get a picture with her (gladly my brother was at a distance watching his sisters folly???) and as I took up my phone to take the picture she shoved me slightly and said I shouldn’t do that.. ?? not her fault oh.. But now I got sad because my brother has to watch herself make that display and think it was the character of celebrities and has decided to write it as part of his holiday experience????.. So the story goes #nigeriancelebrities have thought me self respect is important oh.. Just act like they don’t exist when you see them.. I shared the unruly picture with my sad brother in the background with close friends, but I can’t put it up here.. Love y’all . This story is long sha??” wrote Grace Alex.

In another post she wrote “Dear @yemialade I really won’t rant about how sad I was about what you did today, worse part my 10 year old brother thinks that’s the silly behavior of Nigerian celebrities., going into details would just make me a bitter person.. Have fun while you’re at your business in Abuja.“

Today (December 24) Yemi Alade has released a Swahili version of her inspirational hit single ‘Na Gode‘.

The track retains the original production credited to Selebobo; but Yemi Alade switches the vocal arrangement and lyrics, as the vocal powerhouse delivers the fan favourite in Swahili.

Yemi Alade fell in love with the language during her numerous visits to East Africa, Kenya and Tanzania to be precise.

Tyga Acquires A New $200,000 Lamborghini Aventador?!?

By Unknown 11:48 No comments:

The father-of-one was recently pictured leaving a car dealership driving a Lamborghini Aventador model estimated to be worth $200,000, and the speculation is that the star just might be gifting himself a new car for Christmas.

Tyga obviously has a flare for fast cars and has acquired quite a number of them, but considering the recent rumors concerning financial problems, its hard to tell what exactly Tyga is up to.

Momager of the Kardashian family, Kris Jenner had recently revealed that she was not sure if the couple, Tyga and Kylie were back together, saying:

“I really don’t know. Things at my house happen on a daily, anything is possible.”

Kylie had also recently shared a collection of photos of herself and ex Tyga, making it very clear that she missed him.

50 Cent now suing Rick Ross

By Unknown 05:30 No comments:

A few months ago, Rick Ross' baby mama won a
$7 million judgement against 50 Cent after she
sued him for releasing her sex tape. Looks like 50
has come up with a sneaky way to pay off the
debt: By suing Rick Ross... lol. TMZ reports
below...
50 cent is suing Rick Ross for jacking "In
Da Club" and rapping over it to promote his
new album. 50 just filed a lawsuit in
Connecticut ... in the docs he says his
classic banger appears on Ross' 'Renzel
Remixes' without his permission, and he
used it to drum up publicity for his next LP.
50 and Ross have a storied beef ... 50 was
slapped with a $7 mil judgment for
uploading a sex tape with Ross' baby
mama in it. 50 seems to be retaliating with
the lawsuit ... he wants Ross to pony up
more than $2 mill for using his track.
If 50 sets a precedent and people start suing over
mixtape beats, a lot of rappers will get broke!
