Ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party, has acknowledged that President Muhammadu Buhari has been away from the country longer than expected.
The party’s spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, said this at the end of their National Working Committee (NWC) meeting in Abuja on Thursday, which had some Governors in attendance.
He, however, commended Buhari, for transferring power to Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, before his departure.
“The national working committee (NWC) of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by the national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun on Thursday met with governors elected on the platform of the APC,” Abdullahi said.
The national chairman reviewed the state of the party, x-raying the challenges facing the APC in relations to funding and financing.
It was agreed that the party is not effectively funded as it should be. A new funding mechanism was therefore devised based on a planned continuous membership registration exercise across the country. The meeting agreed that this is the only sustainable way to fund the party.
The meeting also discussed the situations in some of the state chapters of the party, and it was agreed that an effective conflict resolution mechanism will be put in place to stem the tide of internal dissension and resolve existing issues.
As we near the midterm, the meeting also resolved to launch a project to showcase the accomplishments of APC governors in all the 24 states controlled by the party.
The upcoming non-elective convention was also discussed and it was agreed that the convention will take place on April 29.
The meeting acknowledged that the president, His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari has been away longer than was originally envisaged.
The meeting however, commended the president for following the rule of law by allowing the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo to assume proper leadership and by so doing saved the country the kind of trauma that was experienced in the past”, he stated.
Buhari has been on medical vacation in the UK since January 19.
16-Year-Old Nollywood upcoming star actress, Regina Daniels was utterly lambasted for a lady her age after she showed off her pierced nose and leg beads on Instagram.

It’s official people! Kemen is the most ridiculed housemate in the big brother house mehn! – just the other day, the housemates were talking about how he was caught “wanking (masturbating)” when he forgot to close the toilet door.
Like that has not been embarrassing enough, just when the fitness expert felt his nightly cuddling with TBoss was leading him somewhere to her heart, he probably will start having to take another think after last night’s episode.
The Romanian student really came for the body builder and didn’t even spare a word, on how terribly he kissed, his tongue, looks and all – it was so humiliating as other housemates looked and listened in silence.
So this adorable video session of Thin Tall Tony and his 3 year old daughter, Ella, just surfaced online and we can make a strong bet that it’s going to make your day!
Ella turned 3 about a week ago, but TTT denied her being his daughter saying she is his niece – his action caused mixed reactions online as many thought he’d taken things to far by denying his daughter.
That aside, how about you bless yourself with this Father-Daughter moment that we can’t just get enough of!
Top Nigerian comedian cum actor, AY, was the celebrity guest at the Big Brother House earlier today – while addressing the housemates, one can spot TBoss smiling hard at him as she stays really close to him.
Her blank stare caught AY’s wife’s attention and she gave a hilarious reaction. She shared a video of the visit where Tboss was staring and wrote;
Haa! Madam fine girl/yellow gang be staring at my man like Kilode! Just kidding. Loool @aycomedian in the house this morning #bigbrothernaija

Nigerian life coach on Facebook, Victor Ibeh, has said that in his own opinion, men should buy sex toys for their wives – it should serve as a stand-in for them when they are not available.
He says if men can buy drugs to sustain erection, why can’t ladies use sex toys too?! He shared the post you see on his Facebook wall moments ago:
It is my opinion that men should buy toys for their wives.
It is part of the fun. Give her something to use when you are not available.
Give her money to buy bullet. All those times that you are tired, she would take care of herself. I don’t understand men who oppose the idea of women having sex toys. How does it affect it you?
If you think that using drugs to sustain your erection is cool, why can’t your woman have a toy?
I believe that both parties can use the toys. As a man, you can use her toys on her. It’s all fun and exciting.
Sex shouldn’t be rigid. It requires a lot of open-mindedness, to be able to have good sex.
Tobiloba Adebiyi, heartbroken mother of 3-year-old Oluwasemilore, who was kidnapped by her mum’s apprentice, Mary John, a mother of one from Cross River State, who specializes in stealing children and selling to families without kids, has narrated how the suspect was arrested.
According to Tobilola, Mary John whose real name is Gladys Austin, barely spent one week as an apprentice at Alagbado in Lagos State, before she kidnapped her daughter, who was sold to 4 different buyers before being rescued by operatives of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
“After she was arrested in Badagry, she said she had been paid N60,000 for the job before coming to my house and she had planned to kidnap two of my children. But she couldn’t because I had
said if she didn’t come with a guarantor by Monday, she should not come to work.
After she kidnapped Oluwasemilore, she left for Anambra by a bus the same day, and she sold her to an elderly woman, telling the woman that my daughter belonged to a prostitute who wanted to get rid of the girl.
The woman buys new babies and resells to families without children. The policemen asked her to call the woman that she had another child to sell. When she did, the woman asked her if it was a ‘trouser’ or ‘skirt’, which was a code name for a boy or girl. We decided to give her my son as bait.”
Punch reports that she went further to disclose that those who bought her daughter, were inflicted with strange illness;
“Those people said when the child got to them, they became sick and their business started failing. Within one month, my child had been sold to 4 different families. The 4th woman was wealthy and despite falling sick, she decided to keep her and enroll her in a new school. 4 suspects have arrested in connection with the kidnapping,”
Abdirahman Ismail, who bears same name as the groom, has been arrested for posing as a bridesmaid at a recent traditional wedding in Somalia, and also staying with the couple for 3 weeks.
The shocked groom, who is planning to divorce his wife for the embarrassment she caused him, disclosed that he never knew the impersonator was a man, as he wore a makeup that concealed his identity.
However, his identity was busted by a lady who claimed to be his mother;
‘A woman claiming to be his mother came to our house and asked if we have seen her son named Abdirahman. I told her we have never seen her son and the only person living with us was a girl named Asma.
‘That’s when the woman told me that Asma is actually her son, Abdirahman’ he said.
Somalia cable reports that Abdirahman was arrested by the Police, after the groom laid a complaint with Police authorities.

Mrs. Felicia, a Nasarawa based bussinesswoman, married to Mr. Akin Akinshola, on Thursday, begged the Magistrate of Upper Area Court in Mararaba, Mr. Ibrahim Shekarau, to dissolve her marriage to her husband, who she described as an irresponsible man, over his inability to pay her bride price after 6 years of marriage.
“Akin has not paid my dowry in accordance with Yoruba tradition and every effort put across to enable him to pay has proved abortive.
“He is a very irresponsible person. He does not pay his children’s school fees and he does not provide proper feeding for us in the house.
“When I fell sick, he did not show any concern. All these have made me lose confidence in him,” She said.
The 34-year-old lady, whose marriage is already blessed with 3 kids, also asked to be granted custody of their children.
Responding to the divorce plea, Mr. Akin however opted for settlement outside the court, as he pleaded for time to enable his family and his wife’s family to meet and discuss the issue.
The case has been adjourned till March 9 for hearing and consideration of settlement.

A Lagbus driver, identified as Idowu Kolawole, who was accused of putting the lives of his passengers and road users at risk with his rough driving by a soldier, was allegedly flogged mercilessly by the soldier.
According to eyewitnesses of the incident which happened in Marina, Lagos, the wrong driver was flogged, as they disclosed that the soldier snatched a cane from some motor unionists in the area, which he used in flogging the driver. When begged by the passengers, he allegedly replied “Are the people in that Danfo bus not human beings?”
The eyewitnesses further disclosed that the commercial bus driver, who had stopped illegally to pick passengers, moved suddenly, forcing the BRT bus coming behind him to swerve sharply to avoid hitting the bus and other vehicles. The soldier then ordered the Danfo driver to chase the Lagbus bus vehicle, and block it on top of the bridge on the Marina.
When begged by the passengers to stop beating the poor driver, he allegedly replied “Are the people in that Danfo bus not human beings?”
“It was the Danfo driver that was at fault. If the BRT driver had not swerved, he would have hit the bus and some of the passengers would have been injured. He did what he could to avert trouble yet he was punished” a passenger said.
When interviewed by the nation, the poor driver said;
“The man just used his power on me. If he had been inside the Lagbus vehicle and witnessed what the Danfo driver did, he would have jumped down to beat the driver.
“The driver did not watch the road before he moved so I was forced to swerve to avoid hitting the car on the fast lane on my left. Because of him, the soldier beat me and even used his boot to kick my side. Unfortunately, I did not see his (the soldier’s) name well enough to identify him.”
A source close to the Churchill family has described as laughable, the claims by the actress that she had bought her estranged husband, Olakunle Churchill, the vehicles they were driving.
According to the source, who chose to remain anonymous, Churchill is in possession of the keys and documents of the cars.
“If she really did buy them, she should have taken the keys and receipts when she was leaving. No one knows why she is doing what she is doing. Maybe, she is using their son as bait and as a means to get sympathy from the people on social media,” the source said.
Continuing, the source claimed that the actress wanted her foundation merged with her husband’s Big Church Foundation, but bearing her name.
“That was why, last year, after the Big Church Foundation had organised its work, the Tonto Dikeh Foundation organised its own too. She did that because she wanted the NGOs to be joined together and handed over to her, so that she can use her celebrity status and run the whole show. Churchill, on the other hand, was passionate about the whole thing, as a way to help the masses and did not want it to be hijacked by someone who just wanted it for show,” the source continued.
The source further stated that when things got to a point where Churchill could not condone it any further, she boasted that she would use her overwhelming influence on social media to drag his name to the mud, then rubbish his foundation.
The source also said that there is no truth to the report that Churchill ever assaulted her as he never laid a finger on her.
Recall that since news broke that her marriage has hit the rocks, the actress used the social media to pour her heart, the latest being that her husband infected her with STDs.
A woman was horrifically branded with hot tongs by her husband and father-in-law after she was suspected of having an affair. Jhamku, 22, was brutally burned all over her body all because she answered the phone to an unknown caller, according to reports.
After overhearing the conversation, her husband of two years Bhagga Gameti and his father Lehri Lal, are alleged to have taken the phone and spoken to the caller.
Failing to identify him, the men suspected Jhamku of having an affair and launched a brutal attack, beating her with sticks and then burning her legs, face, chest and genitals with hot tongs, Times of India reports.
Bhagga was arrested on Wednesday evening by police in Udaipur, India. Om Kumar, the police officer handling the case, said:
“We have arrested the husband and will arrest the other accused if he too is found guilty during the course of investigation.”
A Rochester Police Officer, is under fire after he allegedly allowed girls who were bounced from a night club, to twerk on a Police patrol car.
The ladies were not allowed into Pearl nightclub, New York, as one of them wore a tracksuit which violates dress codes for nightclubs – the Police officer allegedly granted their request of twerking on the car, which Chris Barber recorded and posted on Twitter.
According to Barber, “He [The officer] said, ‘I’m going to turn my back real quick,’ which is kind of a way of saying not yes, but not saying no.”
However, the Rochester Police Department, New York, has released a statement saying the twerk video is “inappropriate“, as it represents an unacceptable image of the Police Department.
Here’s what Rochester Police Chief Michael Ciminelli said on ABC 13: “Although the RPD personnel did not intend for this occur, the result was an inappropriate and unacceptable image for the Rochester Police Department.”
A lecturer in the University of Lagos whose name has been given as Mr Ogunkunle, has been called out by his students for reportedly asking students who couldn’t spell a certain word to kneel down, and raise their hands, like Secondary School students.
According to Zeekyboy, the lecturer who rarely comes to his class, allegedly spends most of his time threatening and sending students out of a class they’re supposed to be in.
The incident reportedly happened during Geography class in the Faculty of Arts. He wrote:
“It’s not as if this is the norm in Unilag. But this particular lecturer has been terrorizing us.
We have other lecturers who behave well, but this particular man is just something else. I mean why will you tell adults like this to kneel and raise up hands, just because they were not able to spell a particular word.
This lecturer rarely comes to class. When he comes he spends most time sending students out and threatening them. He is just a disgrace to this wonderful university. We have very brilliant, decent lectures who respects us for who we are.
We are please begging the university to help caution lecturers like this so that our great Unilag won’t be a laughing stock amongst other universities.”

Zimbabwe’s High Court has outlawed corporal punishment for children both at school and in the home.
The ruling comes after a parent complained that her child in grade one, a class for six-year-olds, had deep bruises after a beating by a teacher.
Linah Pfungwa said her daughter had been punished for failing to have her reading book signed by guardians as proof she had done her homework.
The constitutional court will have to confirm the judgement.
The BBC’s Shingai Nyoka in the capital, Harare, says if upheld, it would transform the way parents have disciplined their children for centuries in the southern African country.
Some parents are criticising the ruling, while rights groups says it is long overdue, she says.
Ms Pfungwa, who filed her application with support from the Justice for Children’s Trust, said her child was severely assaulted with a rubber pipe.
“My child suffered major bruises and I took photographs and pictures… She had deep bruises on her back and she could hardly sleep properly,” the state-run Chronicle newspaper quotes her as saying.
“I posted the pictures of my daughter on our WhatsApp group for other parents to observe and it turned out that other children had also been assaulted.”
In her application, Ms Pfungwa said that children should not be subjected to any form of violence and such corporal punishment breached their rights under Zimbabwe’s Constitution.
She argued that other forms of discipline should be used for children.
“If my child misbehaves, I ground her by denying her access to television as well as denying her pocket money or other goodies like sweets and presents,” she said.
“If she does well, I reward her by presents or extra hours of watching television.
“My child is well-behaved and well-brought up simply as a result of the dialogue that I use as a means of discipline.”
Justice David Mangota agreed that corporal punishment for children was unconstitutional and said that parents and teachers should not lay their hands on children even if they misbehave.
Acting President Prof Yemi Osinbajo has been conferred a Chieftaincy title of “Obong Emem Ibom” by Akwa Ibom State Traditional Rulers during his visit to the state earlier today.

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday admitted to not knowing his true age – according to him, his late mother merely told him she gave birth to him on a market day.
Mr. Obasanjo said this on Thursday at the 2017 International Youth Variety Day and Public Presentation of Olusegun Obasanjo’s Books for Children, as part of programmes for his 80th birthday.
The programme, organised by the Centre for Human Security, with the theme “Presidential Libraries Will Reduce Leadership Deficit in Africa”, held at theater hall of the Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta.
Mr. Obasanjo said while growing up, he had the challenge of knowing his real date of birth, because his parents were illiterates.
“At early stage in my life, I had the challenge of knowing my date of birth, and my peers always asked, while in return I persisted in asking my mother, who was an illiterate and had no records,” he said.
The former president added that when he continued to pressure his mother, the information he was given by his was that she gave birth to him on an Ifo village market day.
“When I continued to put pressure on my mother, she told me that she was preparing to go to market on the said day, and went into labour, and before others could return from the market, she had given birth to me,” Mr. Obasanjo said.
The former leader said he arrived at his current age when he considered the ages of some of his peers at the time.
“I’m not as lucky as some of my peers who know the dates of their birth. What matters to me is that I have chosen a date. If I don’t even know the exact date of my birth, at least I know my age group,” he emphasised.
The former president also spoke about morality in the society, lamenting that the era of genuine morality was fading, but needed to be revived in the interest of all and sundry.
“When we were growing up, if people doubt the source of your wealth, you will be ostracised. If your father goes out every night, the conclusion would be that your father is a thief, and if a family is seen and known to have engaged in crimes, the community will keep its distance from such family. All those values are gone, and how do we bring them back?” he said.

The duo were the first two evicted housemates from the big brother house weeks ago – housemate, Bisola has said if anyone was to be brought back to the house, she’d wish for Soma to be one of them.

A member of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Ayo Yusuf, on Thursday declared that if President Muhammadu Buhari is sick then Nigeria as a whole is also sick.
Yusuf representing the Ijumu/Kabba-Bunu Federal Constituency of Kogi State made the declaration during a prayer session for the quick recovery of the President.
The Prayer session which lasted for about two hours was attended by seven members of the House and was presided over by Yusuf.
Speaking, Yusuf said “when the president is sick, Nigeria is sick. Praying for the leaders is Biblical in His commandment.”
Buhari, who is yet to return from his trip, recently sent a letter to the National Assembly informing of his decision to extend his stay to enable him receive medical results.
Last week Tuesday, the President through his media aide, Femi Adesina, revealed that series of medical check-ups he carried out in the cause of his vacation had necessitated his prolonged stay in London.
Not many of us paid attention but after taking a second look at the music video for rapper, Falz’s “Ello Bae”, we can see that Big Brother Naija Housemate, Bisola, was the “bae” in the video.
This shows that the BBN housemate has really come a long way in her career in showbiz – she’s sure to become a superstar, (she’s already a star) by the time she leaves the BB house.
See more photos from the music video below or watch the video itself:
Spain’s Prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, appointed Edelmira Barreira as the country’s sex tsar to get Spaniards to produce more babies. The country is faced with a population crisis, with fewer births than deaths recorded for the first time last year.
Experts say long working hours and a culture of eating late at night and going to bed after midnight are partly to blame for the nation’s sex famine. Since 2008 the number of births in Spain has plunged by 18%.
And the number of childless couples has nearly tripled from 1.5million in 1977 to 4.4million in 2015.
Most Spanish women say they would like two or more children but in 2015 those aged 18 to 49 had an average of 1.3 children – well below the EU figure of 1.58.
Spain’s education ministry said the declining birth-rate “aggravates other economic imbalances and generates important ‘impacts’ in the Welfare State.
We all had our hopes up when the news broke last year that the actress was at the brink of tying the knots finally! But our hopes crumbled when we later discovered that the proposed wedding was cancelled due to misunderstanding from the couple.
Well, recently, a source has revealed that the mother of one secretly traveled to an undisclosed island few weeks ago where she reportedly tied the knot.
The actress has not confirmed nor disclosed the news to anyone but her disappearance and the engagement ring she showed off on her IG page has raised eyebrows.
The identity of the man too is yet to be known, it’s not new that she’s not the type to put on a public face when it comes to her private life, most especially since her disappointment with the guy she almost got married to last year.
The actress has planned to walk down the aisle in Milan Italy last year 2016, with her then boo, Ugochukwu Udezue but it was called off by him because she wanted their wedding to be secret which he wasn’t in support of.
So if this is real, we can only but wish the best for her and if not, yeah well… we wish her godspeed either ways.
As bizarre as it sounds, a “Baby Bin” has been created for parents (Desperate mothers) who wants to dump their unwanted newborns. And the church behind it claims it has saved hundreds of lives as they say it gives unwanted babies a fresh shot at life after they are abandoned.
The Berea Baptist Church in Johannesburg installed the hatch so newborns could be left anonymously by parents unable or unwilling to care for them, they call it “The Door Of Hope“.
Desperate parents can leave their young babies in the hatch, where they will be picked up and cared for by staff at the orphanage
Desperate mothers can leave their child in the hatch, nicknamed the Door of Hope. Staff at the centre are alerted by alarm when a baby is left in the hatch.
When it was installed in 1999, up to 50 babies were being dumped on the streets and left to die by their parents every month.
Among the horrific stories highlighted by the centre include babies being flushed down toilets, left at rubbish dumps and thrown from buildings.
But the Door of Hope says it has saved the lives more than 1,500 lives through its kind-hearted charity work since.
