How FG is spending Abacha loot —Lai Mohammed

By

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said that the money recovered from the late military ruler, Gen. Sani Abacha, is not being shared to the poor and vulnerable as widely believed.

Rather, he said, the money is being deployed in the financing of Federal Government’s social investment programmes comprising four components

He described as “mischievous” the insinuations that the government would share to the poor the Abacha loot repatriated by the Swiss Government.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Mohammed said this on Monday when he paid an official visit to the Abuja office of The Authority newspaper.

“When the first tranche of Abacha loot was paid under former President Goodluck Jonathan, the Swiss Government found out that the money was re-looted by those in the administration.

“So, when they wanted to release the next tranche, they put the condition that it must be used for the most vulnerable Nigerians.

“We said there is no problem. It is the money we are using to finance our social investment programmes comprising four components,” the minister said.

Mohammed further said that 8.5 million pupils in government schools across the country are currently being fed under the Home Grown Feeding Programme.

Similarly, he said, over 400,000 families are being paid stipends of N5,000 every month under the Conditional Cash Transfer Programme.

“The beauty of this programme is that it is being done in collaboration with the World Bank.

“It is the World Bank and various agencies that determine the beneficiaries and who are the most vulnerable Nigerians.’’

Abacha loot
Mohammed said that part of the money was being used to finance the employment of young graduates through the N-POWER programme.

He said that no fewer than 200,000 people had been employed in the first batch and another 200,000 would be resuming very soon.

“The fourth is the Government Enterprise Empowerment Programme whereby market women, craft people etc., are given loan between N50,000 and N100,000

“So, when we say this money is being used for the poor people, it is not as if we are sharing it to poor people in the states,’’ he said.

Mohammed said the Buhari administration would remain accountable and committed to the welfare of the common people.

doctors suspended

A team of surgeons has been suspended for taking selfies in the middle of an operation and posting them on social media.

The group of medical professionals, including the surgeon, anaesthesiologist, two surgical assistants and a surgical nurse, work at the Hospital San Jose de Capilla del Senor in Argentina.

The images were taken during an operation and shared on the social media account of one of the surgeons, Lorena Olguin, who works in the gastroenterology area of the hospital.

The photos show the medical team looking at the camera with their surgical masks and gowns on.

One of them shows three of them standing over the patient lying on the operating table, and another with the whole team showing the equipment used in the surgery and bits of gauze with blood on it.

The hospital authorities say they have suspended all of those shown in the photo because they consider it irresponsible behaviour.

Christopher Robin banned in China, in ongoing war on Winnie-the-Pooh

By

The Chinese Film Authorities has banned Disney’s new Winnie the Pooh movie, Christopher Robin.

Images of the character Pooh have been blocked on social media since last year by Chinese authorities, after the AA Milne bear became a symbol of political dissent. Chinese president Xi Jinping has been compared to the bear.

The comparisons which began in 2013 features an image of Xi walking with former president Barack Obama which was posted alongside a picture of Pooh walking next to Tigger.

In 2014 another picture of Xi shaking hands with Japanese
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shared along with a picture of Pooh with Eeyore.

As the memes grew popular, Chinese censors began blocking images, GIFs and mentions of the bear across social media.

In 2015, a picture showing Xi in a motorcade alongside an image of a Winnie the Pooh in a toy car was called “China’s most censored photo” by political analysis company Global Risk Insights.

Back in June, China censored comedian John Oliver and HBO’s website after the British talkshow host ran a segment on his US show, Last Week Tonight, criticising Xi and China and also mentioned the President’s sensitivity to being compared to the bear.

Political Analysis company, Global Risk Insights suggests the censorship of Pooh bear may be taking place because the comparisons with the President are seen by Beijing as “a serious effort to undermine the dignity of the presidential office and Xi himself”.

Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time was also denied a release earlier this year in China but Skyscraper, Mission Impossible: Fallout, and Ant-Man and The Wasp are among Disney’s offerings to open in the country.

Christopher Robin is a live action film featuring Ewan McGregor as the lead role and tells the story of Robin reuniting with the honey-loving bear as an adult and rediscovering his playful imagination.

Rotimi Amaechi – “I don’t drink, smoke or own luxurious houses and cars, what do I need money for?”

Rotimi Amaechi, former Governor of Rivers State, now Minister of Transportation has claimed he has nothing to do with money.

He said even people that criticize him in the state know he has a good reputation, adding that he does not indulge in alcohol or cigarette.

The former governor said he has the moral standing to criticize members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for allegedly looting the nation for almost 16 years because he was not corrupt.

He said:

“I ask people ‘what do I need money for?’ I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I am not the one with luxurious houses and cars and it is like what I said when I became governor. I said Nigerian politicians actually commit what they call manslaughter, which is killing by accident when you don’t have intention to kill. How do we politicians kill by accident?

“The money that is meant for the people and earmarked to be used for building hospitals, you take it for your private use and the hospitals are not built and so Nigerians go to hospitals where there are no drugs and they die without knowing it.

“For me, you have committed manslaughter and the problem for me is that Nigerians don’t hold us accountable!”

A rather scary video has emerged online showing the moment a cow went mad and chased people about in broad daylight.

The incredible incident reportedly happened on Thursday in Okota, Lagos.

At one point in the footage, a bus is seen trying to bump into the cow in a bid to subdue it, but the animal escapes being hit and continued its rampage. It then charged directly at two persons riding on a bike. The two men jumped off the bike and ran for their lives.

The rather crazy animal did not stop its rampage even after being hit from the side by a bus but attempted to hit the vehicle with its horns.

Towards the end of the video, a man is seen with a rope in his hands as he tries to use it to subdue the animal. He fails, however.

The video ends with the cow running off in the distance. It is not known how the drama ended.

Watch the footage below:

“All those useless maggots that are still breastfeeding on heir mother’s breast and saying ‘why should you expose your body?’, the truth is people are just mentality castrated with frustration from their homes.

John Dumelo accused of idolatery, he fires back at troll

Ghanaian actor, John Dumelo has been accused of idolatery after he was spotted worshiping at the feet of a Jesus statue in Montreal, Canada.

He has however responded to the accusation.

The Actor had posted the photo on his Instagram page where he offered prayers to his loved ones.

 

He however replied the troll who tagged him an idol worshiper.

This of course got many talking and now John has replied his critics.

I usually don’t respond to ‘negative ‘ comments on Instagram but these set of comments need clarification. I posted a picture of myself touching the feet of a statue Christ in a church in Montreal. Some people said it’s idol worshipping. Some said it’s blasphemy and others too said it’s occultism. If we all turn our bibles to Matthew 9:20–22, it’s talks about a woman touching the robe of Jesus to be healed.

She said ‘If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed”. That was her faith. And her faith healed her. When we go to certain churches these days, anointing oil, water etc are sold. Some are asked to pray over these and apply them to be healed. What about those that touch Tv’s to be healed? Is that idol worshipping? Is that occultism?

No, it’s all in your faith. Faith is such a big influence if used correctly. I’m a proud catholic and I will never be ashamed of that. My catholic beliefs and principles have brought me this far and it’s taking me further. We all believe in one God. No need to judge. God bless us all.

“I Have No Successor Yet” ― Pastor E.A. Adeboye

By
Cherry
-

Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has said God has not revealed to him yet who his successor would be.

He stated this at the ongoing ministers’ conference of the mission holding at the Redemption Camp, Mowe, Ogun State.

The four-day annual conference is expected to come to a close Sunday evening while the 66th annual convention will start on Monday and last for six days.

RCCG is believed to be the biggest Pentecostal mission in Africa with branches in more than 100 countries around the world.

According to Pastor Adeboye, God has not told me about any successor at all, whether you believe it or not.

“Elijah knew before Elisha knew that he would succeed him, Moses also knew that Joshua would succeed him and likewise Eli knew before Samuel and not the other way round and therefore, God will tell me first before any other person about who will become my successor as a general overseer.

“So, those of you who are carrying rumour of who would be my successor or claiming to be the one that God had chosen should desist from such act as God had not shown me anybody yet.

”Some even said I would hand over to Bishop David Oyedepo, some said to Pastor Joe Olaiya because the two are very close to me that they do minister during our major events such as the conventions, Holy Ghost congresses and yet another quarter said one of my sons is the one succeeding me.

“But I would advice you to always check sources of your information before believing such information and also to focus on whatever you are doing rather than spreading rumour.

“So, let me say it loud and clear again that God has not told me who my successor is.

“What God had told me several years ago was that He would tell me who my successor would be at least five years before I would be called home and as at this now, He had not told me anything as regards that, which means He is not ready to call me home in the next five years.”

Pastor Adeboye, however, declared that he ‘pity’ who would eventually emerge as his successor because such a person would have to pray more than I do and has to sacrifice a lot also.

“Because I know how many hours I pray a day and I can count how many days I eat in a year too.

“So, whoever that will take over from me, such person will have to surpass me and God will have mercy on the person.”

Osun Governorship Election: Senator Adeleke speaks on Certificate scandal

By

-

Senator Ademola Adeleke, the Gubernatorial Candidate of the PDP ahead of the Osun state election has finally reacted to the raging Secondary School Certificate controversy that involves him.

Recall that the Nigerian Police last week Wednesday, invited the Principal of Ede Muslim High School 1, Abass Khalib, for investigation over the issuance of statement of result and testimonial to Adeleke, which some claimed was not genuine.

Abass was said to have allegedly signed the statement of results and testimonial of Mr Adeleke, who reportedly finished his secondary school education in 1981.

According to a new report by PREMIUM Times, while responding to the allegations, Adeleke, through the Director of Media and Publicity of Senator Ademola Adeleke Campaign Organization, Olawale Rasheed, in a statement on Sunday, demanded the release of the principal of Ede Muslim High School 1, adding that Abass’ arrest was politically motivated because of “date error”.

“We are constrained to issue this statement on the recent arrest and persecution of the principal of Ede Muslim High School over false accusations of forged school testimonial issued to Senator Ademola Adeleke as a former student of the school because of a date error.

“We note with great alarm the politically motivated arrest and unwarranted media attacks designed as a tool of harassment, persecution and character assassination of the PDP flag bearer, Senator Ademola Nurudeen Adeleke,” he said.

Adeleke called on police authorities to redirect their attention to “investigating and solving real crimes and not trumped up accusations”.

“It must be reaffirmed that issuance of a testimonial duly signed by authorities of the school to an ex-student cannot be a crime irrespective of the date on it.

“There is clearly more to this exercise than routine investigation. How can a date issue on a testimonial and not a certificate be a matter that attracts the attention of FCIB Alagbon officers from Lagos?

“We therefore call on the police authorities to unconditionally release Mr Abbass Khalib Adejare, the principal of Ede Muslim High School who is currently held in Lagos, a distant and disconnected jurisdiction of school in Ede, Osun State.

“The school under his supervision had only performed a legal administrative duty through the issuance of a testimonial. Please note that a testimonial is simply a statement of character attestation and confirmation of the years of attendance at the school and not a school certificate,” the statement read.

The spokesperson was silent on the allegations that Adeleke’s claim to have graduated from an American university is also false.

Ghanaian Actress, Juliet Ibrahim has a message for those who can’t stop questioning the marital status of unmarried people.

She might be speaking for a lot of people who are under pressure to get married, including herself, as she wants people to stop giving them sleepless nights.

The beautiful actress made this known via her Instagram page yesterday.

According to her, the pressure to get married should be stopped by people.

“Stop this habit of asking people to get married because their age-mates are married. Even you, some of your age mates have died but nobody has asked you to die,” she wrote.

Meanwhile, Juliet Ibrahim has been posting a lot of relationship advise on her social media page lately.

One time she said opposite sex bestie is another route to becoming a side chic/nigga.

“#OpenGistWithJuliet #TapForDetails. I have been discussing this topic with my friends and I thought I’ll share with you. I told my friends that I believe in most cases; opposite-sex besties are decoy names for side chicks or side niggas.

In the sense that: most of these besties secretly have a crush on each other and are just waiting for the right time to be the one to come to the rescue or be the shoulder to lean on. Or, maybe they had a thing once or twice before and decided to just stay friends. What do y’all think” she wrote.

The gorgeous actress said this on her Instagram page on Friday, June 8, 2018, where she raised her doubt over the biblical theory.

“The way men lie, I’m beginning to think poor Eve didn’t eat the forbidden fruit first,” she said.

Some Nigerian migrants, 24 in number detained in one of Libya’s slave camps have snubbed the repatriation efforts of the Federal Government, insisting they must reach Europe, which is their final destination.

Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora disclosed this news in Abuja.

She said 116 other Nigerian migrants stranded in Libya have agreed to be repatriated home.

She said that the Federal Government and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) have located the detention camps of the Nigerians, and offered to bring those willing back home.

The Nigeria Mission in Tripoli, she said, had traced the migrants to Osama Detention Centre, Zawiya , Libya.

The 116 Nigerian migrants have been processed online by the Nigeria Mission and IOM for repatriation back to Nigeria, she added.

She said that Federal Government moved to rescue the detained migrants after their plea for assistance through video clip from Libya on July 8.

In the video, the stranded Nigerians who veiled their faces, said that their final destination is Europe but was intercepted by the security agencies in Libya and locked up in dehumanising conditions.

The migrants had in the video said they were being tortured to death daily under a dehumanising condition.

“We are dying here. Come and rescue us. Europe is our final destination but we are trapped in Libya subjecting us to inhuman treatment”, one of the Nigerians said in the video.

Dabiri-Erewa said that 9,438 Nigerian migrants had so far been repatriated by the Federal Government and the IOM.

She gave assurance that President Muhammadu Buhari would continue to ensure that all stranded migrants willing to return home are brought back.

President Muhammadu Buhari early this year directed immediate evacuation of Nigerians from Libya.

According to her, those that have been brought back are being profiled and enrolled in various technical and vocational training centres with relevant agencies and NGOs.

She appealed to Nigerian youths to avail themselves the opportunities in the country as against risking their lives to search for a non-existing and deadly greener pastures abroad. (NAN)
