Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has written to parliament requesting the withdrawal of the 2016 budget in order to make changes, sources at the presidency and Senate said on Sunday. Buhari unveiled the budget for Africa’s biggest economy in December, which included a tripling of capital expenditure, as the continent’s top oil exporter tries to overcome its worst economic crisis in years caused by the fall in crude prices. The president said spending would be 6.08 trillion naira and the deficit would double to 2.2 trillion naira ($11 billion) under his administration’s plans. With Brent crude, which gives Nigeria around 95 percent of its foreign earnings, falling to $30 a barrel for the first time in 12 years, the naira has dropped to record lows against the dollar on the parallel market amid dwindling FX reserves. The 2016 budget assumed an oil price of $38 per barrel, whereas lawmakers passed last year’s budget at $53 a barrel. “Mr president has written to the Senate and the

History was made on Sunday January 17th when the new Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II paid an unexpected visit to the Alaafin Of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi who was celebrating his 45th coronation anniversary on the throne. It was the first time in 79 years that an Ooni of Ife will visit an Alaafin of Oyo, following a cold war of supremacy said to have been in existence between the (previous) two monarchs for over 7 decades. The last time a reigning Ooni of Ife visited an Alaafin was in 1937. Oba Ogunwusi while speaking at the thanksgiving service said though he was not invited, he had to make an effort to come so as to end the war and foster unity within the Yorubas both home and abroad.     “I am here today, though not invited, but as the Arole Oduduwa, the onus is on me to felicitate with all sons and daughters wherever they are and to show my solidarity for them. I am ready to damn any consequences or insinuations from anywhere; my mission here is to preac

Pandemonium  broke out, yesterday, afternoon at Taiwo, the commercial nerve centre of Ilorin, Kwara State capital, as a notorious political thug, Alhaji Bayo Ajia, was shot dead and cut several times with machetes by four men. Vanguard gathered that the assailants were said to have arrived the deceased workshop in a taxi cab around 4:15p.m. and met Ajia alone in his shop. They then proceeded to under the bridge, close to the State Stadium complex, where the deceased operated a car wash, shot him several times on his forehead and dealt several machete cuts on his lifeless body to ensure that he was dead. Vanguard further gathered that before passers-by could discern what happened, the assailants had jumped into their car and sped off. The deceased, who is survived by four wives and many children, was buried shortly after at the Muslim cemetery at Irewolede in Ilorin metropolis by his friends and associates amid wailing. State’s Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ajayi Okansanmi,

A group of national deputy officers of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the acting chairman of the party's Board of Trustees (BoT), Dr. Haliru Bello Muhammed and the National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, who are facing various corruption charges in court to step aside from their offices until they clear their names. In a statement issued in Abuja, on Monday, the group claimed that both men accused of being beneficiaries of the $2.1 billion arms procurement fund allegedly diverted in the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), acted on their own and should take responsibility for their action without involving the party. Those who signed the statement included Dennis Alonge-Niyi, Deputy National Youth Leader; Bashir Maidugu, Deputy National Legal Adviser; Okey Nnaedozie, Deputy National Organising Secretary and Abdullahi Jalo, Deputy National Publicity Secretary. None of them is a member of the National Working Committee (NWC). The statement noted

The Group Managing Director of Energy Group, Jimoh Ibrahim, did the unthinkable Monday when he sacked Bolu Afolayan, the Managing Director of one of his companies, Newswatch Media Ltd. during a live TV broadcast in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital. This followed a prostest by some members of Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, a the 5th Energy Group GMD Conference held at the Nicon Luxury Hotel, Abuja. After announcing the sack of Afolayan, who is said to be Ibrahim’s friend, he went on to appoint on the spot Mr. Demola Abimboye as the new managing director. The protesters who had stormed the hall while Ibrahim was taking his staff on a strategy lecture, launched into protest songs demanding for their 14 months salaries. For 15 minutes, the drama was beamed live on AIT. Unperturbed in spite of Ibrahim’s attempt to bully them by calling for security operatives to move them out, the protesters said the confab won’t continue unless Ibrahim or his representatives spoke with them. Speaking aft

Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, has stressed the need for wives of state governors to unite and support their husbands in governance. Speaking at a meeting with wives of 36 governors inside the First Lady’s Conference Hall of Presidential Villa, Abuja, yesterday, Mrs Buhari listed some areas of concern where the women were supposed to support their husbands. This she said included widowhood rites, female inheritance rights, female genital mutilation, early marriages, violence against women and children, high maternal mortality as well as women economic empowerment. She further explained that since, as wives and mothers, their roles had always been supportive, their private efforts should be geared towards programmes that would impact positively on the lives of citizens particularly the less privileged members of the society. She said “As wives of political office holders, we must continue to do our best in contributing to the success. I believe in our little ways, we can as

The indefinite strike embarked upon by the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) on December 24, 2015 has entered its fourth week. SSANU is asking the federal government to rescind its decision to remove names of universities’ staff school workers from its pay roll.  It would be recalled that government had earlier issued a circular to that effect to all vice chancellors of federal universities in the country. According to the National President of SSANU Comrade Samson Ugwoke, about 2,000 workers from universities staff schools are affected by the directive in the circular. SSANU had argued that the Union in 2009 entered in to an agreement with the federal government on the issue; adding that disengaging workers from the services of universities’ staff schools run contrary to terms of the agreement. Media reports indicate that the Minister of Education Mallam Adamu Adamu had held a meeting with the national leadership of SSANU; pleading with the union to call off i

When the Federal Government mooted the idea of Treasury Single Account (TSA), not many envisaged that the scheme would land government in a fresh round of industrial impasse with universities' staff. Few months after the TSA scheme kicked off, however, government realised that universities have a huge wage bill, as it was discovered that previous administrations bankrolled the university-run Demonstration and Staff schools. The new government apparently considered the situation another form of 'leakage in the system' and decided to disengage the 'extra' staff. Fund for the schools have been captured in the TSA account and government is seeking a justification to continue with the arrangement. Government, therefore, terminated the appointment of about 2,000 teachers in Staff Schools late last year, which would take effect from this month. However, this development kick-started a fresh industrial action from December 24 by the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian

Nwankwo of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), who was returned duly elected by the Appeal court was administered the oath of office by the Clerk of the House , Sani Omolori. PDP now has 139 members while APGA has 5. Noting that his victory was a reinforcement of the rule of law, the new lawmaker said Nigerians have cause to believe in the nation’s justice system.

Saying that the need to rid the country of corrupt practices has become inevitable, he promised to work in concert with his colleagues to make good laws required to ensure good governance in the polity. “I am

The renewed agitation for Biafra yesterday came under attack from former President Olusegun Obasanjo who dismissed it as a product of error,ignorance and frustration. Obasanjo who said he ‘very cautious’ in  getting involved in any debate or conversation with “the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), its many hydra-headed iterations and its resurgent Biafra agitation” said : “at best, the agitation was at regional level and that no inadvertent helping hand should be lent to it, to make it national.” He spoke at a Development Discourse  organised by Nextier Limited on the Biafra issue Abuja. Reading from his  prepared speech and speaking extempore at times,the former President said it is also wrong to say that the South East  is marginalised in the scheme of things.

In Japan is located the most frightening bridge in the world: judging by the pictures, it seems that those who have designed wanted to defy the force of gravity. We speak of the Ejima bridge, which combines the city of Sakaiminato and Matsue in Japan, the two cities are located on opposite sides of Lake Nakaumi. A bridge rather than a work road, seems part of an roller coaster in a theme park . The steepness is not only due to an optical effect, but it is real, as you can guess from the photographs that portray this. In details, the bridge have the maximum height of 44 meters. Its particular shape, of course, is not a random result , but is due to the fact that there is provided in the passage of ships. What is certain is that the images are almost scary, especially when the bridge is raised to pass along the boats: in that case, it is good to remember to stop his car with the handbrake, or the risk of a real disaster become very concrete. The reasons why the Ejima bridge is f

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has reportedly arrested the Director General, DG, of the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission, NBC, Emeka Mba over an alleged diversion of N15 billion.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC is claiming that Olisa Metuh, National publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP confessed to wrong doing in a statement. According to THE NATION, a source at EFCC said, “Apparently distraught that his hunger strike stunt has not softened the resolve of the EFCC to keep him in custody, pending arraignment in court for alleged thievery running into millions of naira, Metuh seized and tore to shreds copies of a statement he had voluntarily made to the commission. “ The suspect was presented with copies of his statement to endorse by the investigating officer but rather than signing the document, Metuh, apparently on realising the weight of his confession, seized the documents and tore them. “Metuh was said to be contemplating stuffing the papers in his mouth in a bid to swallow them when he was stopped by operatives who recovered the torn pieces of paper from him. “ ''We have drafted forensic experts to analys

For Yakubu Dogara, the Speaker of Nigeria House of Representatives, the belief that the hard and soft copies of the 2016 budget as presented by President Muhammadu Buhari to the National Assembly last December were missing, is a joke taken too far. Indeed, to Dogara, the report of the missing budget is nothing but “an incredible and award winning April fool stunt.” The Speaker said this on his twitter account in reaction to reports on Tuesday that Senators who resumed plenary after the yuletide holidays on Tuesday were informed by Senator Ali Ndume, the Senate Leader that the hard and soft copies of the budget were missing. The Senate Leader reportedly informed his colleagues of the development at a closed session. Senate President Bukola Saraki refused to confirm or refute report of the missing budget when he was confronted by journalists during his visit to President Buhari on Tuesday. The Speaker said on his twitter handle, @doyakubu said: “1st April arrived too early this year

The Federal Ministry of Finance says it has successful completed a pilot project of using Bank Verification Number (BVN) details to fish out ghost workers, identity duplication and other irregular entries on the payroll. The Bank Verification Number is a number that uniquely identifies each bank’s customer for “know your customer” KYC purposes. The pilot project was initiated by federal government as a solution to the slow pace of progress being encountered in the enrollment of staff on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS). A statement signed by the Director of Press in the ministry, Marshall Gundu, yesterday, said that the strategy of using BVN rather than requiring the physical presence of each member of staff has significantly simplified and accelerated the progress of the project and at a lower cost than anticipated. “We believe that the use of BVN rather than requiring physical presentation as a first line check on the integrity of our payroll is a c

Grapefruit juice can be part of a healthful diet—most of the time. It has vitamin C and potassium—substances your body needs to work properly. But it isn’t good for you when it affects the way your medicines work. Grapefruit juice and fresh grapefruit can interfere with the action of some prescription drugs, as well as a few non-prescription drugs. This interaction can be dangerous, says Shiew Mei Huang, acting director of the Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Clinical Pharmacology. With most drugs that interact with grapefruit juice, “the juice increases the absorption of the drug into the bloodstream,” she says. “When there is a higher concentration of a drug, you tend to have more adverse events.” For example, if you drink a lot of grapefruit juice while taking certain statin drugs to lower cholesterol, too much of the drug may stay in your body, increasing your risk for liver damage and muscle breakdown that can lead to kidney failure. Drinking grapefruit juice several

Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra, MASSOB, has said that Biafran passports being issued to its citizens are valid and accepted in various countries across the globe. It insisted that many citizens of Biafra had used the passport issued by the Biafran Directorate of Passport, and travelled overseas without hitches. In an interview with Vanguard, MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Sunny Okereafor, warned the federal government to stop seizing Biafra passport or threatening its holders. According to him, “I assure you the Biafran passport is valid. Except Nigeria, other countries of the world accept Biafran passport and allow our citizens to travel with it. In Europe, North and South America, Biafra passport is accepted. Nigeria is the only country that seizes Biafran passport. Go to neighbouring Ghana here, they will stamp the passport for you. Don’t be confused by the propaganda of the Nigerian government that there is nothing like Biafra passport.

FOR MEN Carry your wife to the bed when she sleeps off in the sitting room, make her feel like a baby at times. The truth is, every woman wants to be treated like a 2yrs old girl at times, that's why women behave childish or silly at times. You may have an argument with your wife and the next thing is that you will see her putting her bags outside the house, it doesn't mean she is asking for a divorce, she is just being childish, she simply wants you to hold her, look her in the eyes and say "I am sorry for the argument". That's women for you. Every brother needs to study in the university of women before getting married, read books about them, learn what the Bible says about them and you will hardly have a problem with them. Though there may still be some challenges, because you're both from different background and your imperfections are bound to stand. So, read books about marriage, an ideal home, child upbringing, importance of marriage and the likes.
