The presidency has denied media reports that President Buhari has endorsed the N30, 000 minimum wage proposed by the Nigeria Labour Congress NLC.
Reports were rife online last night that President Buhari after receiving the report of the Tripartite Committee on the Review of National Minimum Wage from the committee’s chairman, Ama Pepple, endorsed the new minimum wage.
According to Vanguard, a source in the presidency who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there was no time at the meeting when President Buhari endorsed the new minimum wage. The source added that President Buhari only expressed his commitment to ensuring the implementation of a new National Minimum Wage.
“The president’s speech at the event was immediately made available to the media and nowhere indicated that the president endorsed N30,000 Minimum wage. It is not the duty of the president only to endorse a new national minimum wage. The process involves the Federal Executive Council (FEC), the National Economic Council (NEC) and the National Assembly. It is imperative for us to always avoid misinterpreting a written speech,’’ he said
Evangelist Prosper Peter Okwandu, has revealed why he killed his childhood friend, Pastor Kelechi Iwuanyanwu, and two others in Umuahia, Abia State.
According to a report by NAN, while speaking on Tuesday, he said he plotted the killing for many decades because the deceased refused to assist him financially after taking him to a herbalist, “but started avoiding me.”
He recalled how he assisted the pastor in the past and was expecting him to reciprocate when he began to do well.
“When his ministry was not doing well, he approached me for help and I took him to a native doctor in Ikare, Ondo state, who prepared a charm for him,” Peter said.
He said the charm was prepared to help the deceased to draw crowd to his ministry on the promise to reward him when things improved for him.
He said he was worried when Mr Iwuanyanwu started making money in Umuahia but allegedly refused to assist him as promised.
He added that he recruited three persons that murdered Iwuanyanwu, his alleged mistress and Woman Leader in the church, Ruth Eze and Kalu Ikeagwu, the assistant pastor.
Iwuanyanwu, who was the founder of Winds of Glory Ministry, Umuahia, was murdered along with the two others at his residence, located at Umuobia Housing Estate in the early hours of October 14.
Narrating how the deceased was killed, the suspect said he and the hired killers laid ambush in front of Mr Iwuanyanwu’s residence around midnight.
“As soon as he came back and opened the gate, the boys went into the apartment, where they matcheted the three of them to death,” he said.
He said the original plan was not to kill them, but that they were killed after one of the killers realised that he had been recognised by one of the deceased.
Peter said his plan was to attack the pastor and remove some of his valuables, which he intended to share with the assassins.

A judge in Brazil has ordered football icon, Ronaldinho‘s international passport seized in a bid to ensure he doesn’t flee the country after it was gathered that he has just £5 in his bank account despite owing a massive £1.75million.
According to TheSun, the Brazil legend, 38, was fined heavily for illegal construction in a protected area in his home country, along with his brother, Roberto Assis.
However, despite remortgaging the property, Ronaldinho is said to be unable to pay his debt due to the sky-high interest rate and reports in Spain now claim he has just £5.24 left in his bank account.
In reaction to this, some internet users have claimed that the icon, in a bid not to pay the fine, cleared all his money so he can fake being bankrupt.
An 82-year-old ‘cougar’ has revealed the bizarre exercise regime that helps her prepare for sex with her younger lover.
Divorcee Hattie and her lover John, 39 who met via the internet before beginning a long distance romance featured in new Channel 5 show Age Gap Love, where they spoke about their love.
According to Hattie who vowed to only date younger men after her marriage broke down when she was 48, she says she keeps fit with an amazing regime which involves her lifting a 12lb medicine ball and rolling it across her stomach and then smacking it into her chest.
She said: “My medicine ball has been my closest companion for 35 years. It prepares my body for impact. It’s great for sex because it means your body can take a lot of whatever.”
Hattie who stays in New York while her based in Florida travels every weekend to see him.
John said: “We were connected on social media for a year and we hadn’t met but I was charmed with this woman that I had seen.
“I called her and we spoke for an hour or so, and we discussed what I was about and what she was about.”
Hattie added:
“He is a man who says he dates older women, so you feel relaxed.
“From the first look I had of him actually it was as if I sensed something straight away. He’s so sweet, really sweet.
“He just spoke to me as if I was the most astonishing, beautiful, fascinating woman in the world – or at least I was in that category.”
John replied:
“You are one of the most fascinating women that I’ve met.”
When asked why she likes to date younger men the pensioner replied:
“When people ask me why I like younger guys they always figure it’s a hard c*** or something. I’m not saying it’s not that.
“However an older man, generally – he was this, he once played rugby, he was a top football player. He had all those dreams and I love those dreams but he had them already.
“A young man is fired up about what the future holds and I can keep that fire burning.”
John who has only dated older women says he finds them more “sensual”.
He said:
“I’ve been asked and playfully ridiculed by people who have known me for a long time. Why do I date older women? I like confidence in a woman, I like self-awareness and with the older women, I’ve dated there’s always been a more sensual, more compassionate side.
“They are very receptive to the kind of lover I am.”

Two university students have died after they fell into a river while taking photographs.
Mr Derick Ouka and Ms Sharlet Atieno went out on Saturday to Siaya town in Kenya for a photo shoot on the bank of River Yala together with two other friends.
While there, Ms Atieno, a first-year student at Bondo Technical Training Institute, posed for photos on the rocks as Mr Ouka, a second-year student at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology, snapped pictures of her. Suddenly, Ms Atieno slipped and fell into the river.
At first, her friends thought it was a prank and they burst out laughing. When she didn’t surface, Mr Ouka dived in to rescue her but he drowned too.
The two friends with them, Ms Beatrice Stephanie Atieno, a Kabianga University student, and Steven Omondi tried to save the pair all to no avail.
Steven Omondi who witnessed the incident said:
I jumped into the river too and got hold of Sharlet but she slipped and disappeared.
The search for the two bodies, which began on Saturday afternoon, was still going on as at Monday evening.
Mr Ouka’s mother, Jacinta Adhiambo was taken to Avenue Hospital in Kisumu when she fainted after receiving the news of the drowning.
A man who went viral after he was filmed attempting to spell “Buhari” in a viral video created by Paulcleverlee and @yabaleftonline has been located and cleaned up by well-meaning Nigerians.
Dede Nne, who has now been given the name “Mr Spell”, lives in Umuahia and is popular for misspelling words with so much confidence.
A lot of Nigerians found humour is his attempts at spelling simple words, but some pointed out that he might be in need of psychological help.
Recent photos of him shared online show he’s getting support from people. He was taken shopping for a change of wardrobe and now looks presentable.
