Ibrahim Dasuki Nakande, former Minister of State for Information, has claimed that he has information suggesting that President Muhammad Buhari could return to Nigeria today March 6, Daily Trust reports.
The newspaper quoted Nakande as saying this during another special prayer session, attended by hundreds of clerics, for the quick recovery of the president that was held on Sunday, March 5 at the Jos Central Mosque
If Nakande’s information is correct, then President Buhari could return today March 6 after over thirty days in the UK.
“From the information I gathered, President Buhari is hale and sound and may come back today (yesterday) or tomorrow (today). All what is needed from us is prayer for the full recovery and God’s guidance for the president to deliver his campaign promises,” Nakande said.
Nakande was also quoted as saying President Buhari has been speaking with different stakeholders, including the leadership of the National Assembly including Senate president, Bukola Saraki, who had visited the Nigerian leader in London and confirmed that he is doing well.
Nakande said Buhari is Nigeria’s saviour from the current economic and political mess that it is in.
“It is only Buhari that can take this nation out of the mess it found itself,” he said.
Nakande’s words come just days after Sahara Reporters wrote that President Buhari’s aides are allegedly trying to get him back to Aso Rock in Abuja before the eight-week closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the Federal Capital Territory if possible.
“Some of Mr. President’s associates are mounting pressure on him to return to Abuja as soon as possible, and especially before the [Abuja] airport is temporarily closed,” Sahara Reporters quoted a source close to the presidency as saying.

The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman, on Monday distanced himself from the arrest and detention of Stephanie Otobo by the police last Friday, March 3, 2017 over alleged blackmail.
The allegation against Suleman came about one month after his interrogation by the Department of State Services over alleged incitement in his sermon in which he advised that Fulani herdsmen who came near his church should be killed.
The cleric in a statement by his Communications Manager, Phrank Shaibu, obtained by THE PUNCH in Abuja, said there was no amorous relationship between the said Otobo and himself, including a promise to marry her.
According to Shaibu, the lady was allegedly arrested by operatives acting on a tip off that the she had repeatedly tried to blackmail Suleman, including demanding N500 million from him, failing which she threatened to expose a purported amorous relationship between her and the Pastor.
Punch reported that a legal practitioner, Festus Keyamo, had demanded N500 million on behalf of Otobo and also accused Apostle Suleman of allegedly procuring policemen to intimidate and detain his client unlawfully, having earlier promised to marry her.
Shaibu said Keyamo was misled into believing that there was an amorous relationship between Apostle Suleman and Otobo, addding that the lady was “caught up by her own machinations as she was arrested while trying to withdraw money paid into her account by the Church in a sting operation coordinated by the police.”
He said,
“Unknown to Keyamo, the police was alerted following several attempts by the said lady to blackmail Apostle Suleiman. The police also recorded her conversations making the frivolous demand. The highpoint of the drama was her attempt to withdraw money paid into her account at the instance of the police. The lawyer should know that his client was arrested by the police with abundance of evidence confirming that she is indeed a serial blackmailer.”
Shaibu also denied Keyamo’s claim of an amorous relationship and a promise to marry her, wondering how such a transaction could have taken place without any iota of evidence.
He said,
“Let me place it on record that, the lady in question is a self-confessed stripper in a nite club in Canada, who like thousands of people that seek help from Apostle Johnson Suleman, called to pretentiously convey her intentions to embrace Christ and also needed financial help to keep body and soul as she no longer had a means of livelihood after quitting as a stripper.
“Does Keyamo or his serial blackmailing client have pictures of the visit by Apostle Suleman or his representatives to her parents? In any case, how could such a relationship have existed when the Apostle and the said lady have never met physically? How could he have made a promise of a house and a lifestyle comparable to what she has in Canada when he has never been to her house or seen her physically as to have an idea of her living standards?”
According to him, Keyamo must have been misled or excited by the prospects of getting a whopping N500 million, both reasons for which two letters were written and sent to Suleman.

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has admitted that Premier League leaders Chelsea “are almost unstoppable”.
Guardiola was speaking shortly after goals from Sergio Aguero and Leroy Sane, sealed a 2-0 win over Sunderland on Sunday at the Stadium of Light.
City are now eight points behind Chelsea, who travel to West Ham on Monday night.
“It’s three more points. We are there behind, of course, Chelsea, because they are almost unstoppable,” Guardiola said.
“It’s a pity that the distance between us and Chelsea is so big.
“We started the season winning 10 games in a row, but our game was not like it is today.
“That is normal after seven or eight months together — we know each other better. I know the players better, they know me. I feel we are playing quite good.”
Guardiola also urged Sane to keep improving, if he wants to become one of the best players in the world. The Germany winger has scored six times in his last 10 games
“He is so fast and runs in behind like few players in the world,” the Spaniard said.
“But he’s just 21 years old, so the gap to become a really good player is still big. “I can say that because I was the manager of the best player in history [Lionel Messi]. That’s why I know he can improve.“The moment he’s going to relax is going to be in another place, not on the pitch, because we want to help him. With this talent it would be a pity not to try to realise all this potential that he has.”
The Police, in conjunction with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), have reportedly arrested 12 women for selling naira notes in parts of Lagos State, New Telegraph reports.
The women were allegedly selling mint naira notes to people going to parties to ‘spray’ celebrates. They are likely to be charged for contravening Section 21 of the CBN Act, 2007.
The suspects included Fausat Jimoh, Bisoye Oyegbile, Balikis Ajadi, Bisola Amoru, Abidemi Oladejo and Ajoke Suraj. The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) in charge of SCIID, Bolaji Salami, said:
“It is an offence to sell naira notes at weddings or any gathering.
It contravenes the CBN Act. We arrested six suspects the previous weekend and later arrested six others on Friday. We recovered N35,500 from these suspects but N465,000 was recovered from those arrested last week.
They would be charged to court as soon as possible. Investigation would reveal how they come about these new currencies. We are going to get to the root of it because the offence is punishable by N50,000 fine, or six months imprisonment or both. No good country would allow its currency to be abused in anyway.”
An official of the CBN said:
“We know that these are not the real targets because if they don’t get the mint notes, they won’t be able to sell it. So, our main targets are commercial banks and even our staff who release the money to these vendors.
We are also going to start arresting Nigerians who organise events and allow those selling naira notes in their venues. Already, we have started arresting people who ‘spray’ money at social events.”
Ibrahim Bukar, who resides in Borno state with his father, and earns a living by cleaning, is said to have outshone his classmates in Future Hope Private School in London Chiki area of Borno State, after being enrolled in the school by a good Samaritan, Ibrahim Yusuf.
Mr. Yusuf was moved with sympathy after he found the 12-year-old boy, said to be the breadwinner of his family and found wandering the city looking for shoes to clean, told him his story.
According to Daily Nigerian, the boy’s father was excited after he was told his son will be enrolled in a school.
“The boy took us to their house in London Chiki, but unfortunately the father was not at home. We were told the father is a trader around Custom area, so we decided to go and see him in his place of business.
“On reaching there, the father was not around also, but his goods were there on display and his business neighbours told us he went away, but will be back soon. We waited, and while waiting for him, I got to understand why he could not send his boy to school.
“We waited for about 45 minutes, and throughout the time, nobody came to buy the beans and the millet he was selling. When he eventually came back, we greeted him and informed him about our mission there. “The man almost burst into tears, he told us that he had wanted his children to go to school, but unfortunately he can’t afford to.
He told us that before the insurgency became worse, he had sent the boy to Almajiri school in Dikwa, but when boko Haram took over the place, the boy escaped and came back to Maiduguri.
“With the support of a philanthropist and my little effort, Ibrahim is now in Future Hope private school in London Chiki area of aiduguri, and so far he is doing very well. I visited the school today (Friday) to see for myself how he is doing.
“His teacher informed me that Ibrahim is already performing beyond expectations. She told me that he said he wanted to be the best student in the class, and every evening receives extra lessons from one boy in his neighbourhood.
Ibrahim can now recite the English alphabets from A to Z, just within one week. His is outshining his classmates,” Mr Yusuf said.
The school’s headteacher who spoke to newsmen, also disclosed that a decision to promote Ibrahim every year according to his level of comprehension, and receiving crash lessons to make up the skipped classes has been taken.

Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, has called on the Nigerian parliamentary delegation to South Africa to extend its fact-finding mission to other Nigerians being kept in solitary confinement in various South Africa prisons.
MEND said secret xenophobic attacks take place in South Africa prisons – It listed its former leader, Henry Okah, who is currently serving a jail term at Korkstad Prison in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province of South Africa among those suffering xenophobic attacks in the country.
In a statement on Saturday by its spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, MEND said:
“There are hundreds of Nigerians in South Africa who are serving various prison sentences or awaiting trial. From the reports available to us, many of these Nigerians are subjected to xenophobic attacks as they are regularly singled out for harassment, on account of their nationality or arbitrarily isolated in solitary confinement, by South African prison officials.
“We, therefore, call on the Nigerian parliamentary delegation to find time to also visit various prison facilities in South Africa where they will, indeed, be confronted with the real victims of xenophobia in South Africa.”
While commiserating with thousands of Nigerians who had suffered from the recent attack, it added,
“We are constrained to draw the attention of the National Assembly delegation to other variants of xenophobic attacks which are not in the public domain.”

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.

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.
Ouch! Like… Ouuuuuccchhh!! Watch the video below:

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.

“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,”

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.
