World Bank Approves $1.5 Billion Loan For Nigeria

The World Bank has come to the aid of Nigeria by approving a $1.5 billion loan to be used to cushion the effects of coronavirus pandemic.

Nigeria will have a staggering $1.5billion loan to help the country fight recession caused by coronavirus pandemic.

This comes after the World Bank approved the request for the loan by the federal government.

According to the Bretton Woods institution, the loan facility is a five-year Country Partnership Framework (CPF) that will last from 201 until 2024.

“This country partnership framework will guide our engagement for the next five years in supporting the government of Nigeria’s strategic priorities by taking a phased and adaptive approach,” said Shubham Chaudhuri who is the World Bank’s Country Director for Nigeria

“To realize its long-term potential, the country has to make tangible progress on key challenges and pursue some bold reforms. Our engagement will focus on supporting Nigeria’s efforts to reduce poverty and promote sustained private sector-led growth.”

$1.5 billion was also tied to two projects in Nigeria, namely: Nigeria COVID-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus – Program for Results (Nigeria CARES) and the State Fiscal Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability Program for Results (SFTAS).

Nigerian Government revenues have dipped by 60 percent due to a crash in global oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic leading to the country’s economic recession.

“We dash you Omah Lay, teach him that it is wrong to break government’s laws” – Nigerian man writes open letter to Ugandan president

While many Nigerians are calling for the release of fast rising Nigerian singers, Tems and Omah Lay, a Nigerian man has written an open letter to the Ugandan president, Yoweri Museveni, asking him to ensure severe punishment is meted on the singers for breaking Covid-19 rules.

The Nigerian man identified as Adejare Ibrahim on Facebook, tagged the singer a lawless Nigerian youth.

According to him, the singers should be severely punished, to serve as a lesson to others that it is wrong to break government’s laws.

His letter reads,

“Open Letter from Nigeria to Uganda
Dear President Yoweri Museveni, I write on behalf of millions of Nigerians. The Omoale (Omah Lay) you arrested in Uganda is one of the numerous lawbreakers we have in Nigeria.
Another one is Seun Kuti, who threatened to go on a gun duel with any security agency that attempts to arrest him without warrant.

“President Buhari has shown enormous tolerance by overlooking their excesses and many criminal activities, which we think they are abusing and taking for granted. A Yoruba adage says: a bastard that fails to take to training and corrections at home will be taught bitter lessons from outside.

“We dash you Omah Lay (Omoale) and the other guy you arrested for flouting the laws of Uganda. Help us teach him that it is wrong to break government’s laws.

“I can assure you that many Nigerians, especially the youth, are happy with the current development. Treat him the exact way you treat all those who flout COVID-19 laws in your country, Uganda.

“Sir Museveni, if it warrants meting out corporal punishment (lashes of cane) to these recalcitrant omoales in your custody, don’t hesitate to do so. We will be so delighted.
By fire, by force, these lawless s’oro s’oke Nigerian youths must receive sense. Uganda no be Naija. God bless President Yoweri Museveni. May Uganda succeed. May Nigeria succeed”.

Brave mum stalks her daughter’s killers and hunts all 10 down one by one

A brave mum, identified as Miriam Rodriguez has singlehandedly hunted down all 10 killers responsible for the death of her daughter, Karen.

Miriam’s daughter was killed by 10 criminals from the notorious Mexican drugs cartel, Los Zetas, one of the most dangerous in the country. Yet, she was able to bravely take them down.

Following the murder of Karen, the 20-year old daughter of the brave mum, she set out on a revenge mission to get justice for her.

The bereaved mother with the thirst for justice, captured nearly every living member of the crew that had abducted her daughter for ransom in an area where even the official authorities are too scared to bring justice against cartel individuals.

To aid her crusade to bring her daughter’s killers to justice, she employ different tactics. She cut her hair, dyed it and disguised herself before playing various roles including a health worker and election official to get their names and addresses.

Miriam invented excuses to meet their families to tease details from them and build her investigation.

She captured one of those involved in the crime who was selling flowers on the street.

It was learnt that “the florist” was flogging roses to make ends meet and Miriam managed to track him down.

He recognised her and ran but Miriam, 56 at the time, was able to tackle him to the floor and held a gun to his throat, threatening to kill him if he moved.

It eventually cost Miriam her life as she was murdered in San Fernando, Mexico, after gunmen broke into her home, reports NewYorkTimes.

According to The Guardian, after Miriam’s death, Tamaulipas governor, Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca tweeted that the state government “will not allow the death of Miriam Rodríguez to be one statistic more”.

Miriam has become a hero in her hometown for taking on the cartel and she has a bronze plaque in he honour at the central square.
