Although Tiwa Savage did not state the kind of relationship she’s admitting that they have, she’s simply stating that whatever it is, people should let her be with her best friend.

Legislature Not Executive’s Rubber-stamp –Gbajabiamila

  Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has rubbished talks that the ninth National Assembly was a rubber-stamp of the executive. Speaking at a meeting with his constituents in Surulere, Lagos, the lawmaker said the legislature will disagree with the executive only when needed. He said, “This is a new dispensation. There will be checks and balances. There will be separation of powers. “We will agree with the executive if we have to and we will disagree if we have to. “Our watchword is to protect the interest of the Nigerian people. That is the oath that my colleagues and I swore to. “People, critics and members of other parties have said the 9th Assembly was a rubber-stamp of the executive. “It is better to be a rubber-stamp and bring progress than fight the executive without progress. When two elephants fight, the grass suffers. “The fact is that the National Assembly is not a rubber-stamp.” Nigerians had labelled the legislature with that ta...

Civil Defamation Cannot Cure Hate Speech –Keyamo

  Nigeria’s Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, said in a post on Twitter that Nigeria’s law on civil defamation was an insufficient punishment for hate speech. Keyamo’s comments came after a report on Fulani herdsmen abducting passengers from an Owerri, Imo State-bound bus from Abuja went viral. He said, “For those against regulation of social media, what should happen to this purveyor of totally fake news that can set a whole tribe against another? “Can a civil suit for defamation cure this? Certainly not. There must be punishment for this type of behaviour, but not death penalty.”   Free Speech Internet Politics News AddThis :  Original Author :  SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK Disable advertisements :  via IFTTT

No Sin In Buhari Having Cabal In Aso Rock –President’s Spokesperson, Garba Shehu

  Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, has said that there was nothing wrong in having ‘cabals’ around Nigeria’s leader, which helps him run government. Shehu stated this while addressing journalists in Abuja. He said, “What is the meaning of a cabal? I just googled the Thesaurus and among many other definitions, what they are saying is that a cabal means ‘conspire, intrigues, mystique, occult, secret’. “There is no government in this country that we have had that some people were not accused of being a cabal in that government and it is because every administration and every president must have a secretariat. “Every president must have people who advise him. It is not a sin, it is not an offence to have people that you take into confidence. “Elsewhere, they call it ‘kitchen cabinet,’ but in our own country, we are being derogatory and we term them cabals so that it will tarnish their own good standing. “In fact,...

Court Denies Kalu’s Post-judgement Bail Application

A Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday dismissed an application for post-conviction bail filed by former Abia State governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, who is serving a 12-year imprisonment for N7.65bn fraud.  Justice Mohammad Liman ordered Kalu to remain in correctional services custody pending the outcome of his appeal against his conviction. Liman held that there was no valid ground for granting the application. He discountenanced the grounds of ill-health raised by Kalu, saying that he did not prove that the diseases he mentioned were contagious. Liman also discountenanced the other grounds. On the grounds that the bail would enable Kalu to represent his constituency in the Senate, the judge held that his constituents knew that he was on trial and still voted him into power. On the grounds that the appeal might be delayed, Idris said that developments had broken past records on that. He said, “It is not in dispute that there are practice directions involved in appeal but ...

El-Zakzaky Prisoner Of Faith –IMN Spokesperson

The Islamic Movement in Nigeria has described its leader, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, as ‘a prisoner of faith’.  The movement was reacting to claims by Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, who on Sunday claimed that Shia leader was been held in prison on criminal charges. Mohammed’s reaction was triggered by a report by the United States Commission on Inter-Religious Freedom, which designated Nigeria as one of the countries to be placed on a special watchlist for severe forms of religious violation.  In a statement on Monday, spokesperson for IMN, Ibrahim Musa, said, “We, the members of the Islamic Movement and our leader, Sheikh El-Zakzaky, are entitled to freedom of religion, association and expression like every Nigerian citizen, all of which the Buhari regime is denying us and perpetually persecuting us because of our faith and beliefs.  “Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky is undoubtedly a prisoner of faith.”  Musa said if anyone should be tried for c...

CAN Commends United States For Placing Nigeria On Religious Watchlist

  The Christian Association of Nigeria has commended the move by the United States in placing Nigeria on 'Special Watchlist’ of countries violating religious freedom. The US in its list placed Nigeria amongst countries whose governments had engaged in or tolerated the severe violation of religious freedom. CAN in a statement by Special Assistant, Media and Communications, to the President of the organisation, Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, said it welcomes the move despite the fact that it was not contacted before the decision was taken. The organisation added that there were enough evidence to prove that the subtle Islamisation agenda and nepotism were real, adding that all key appointments made since the second term of President Muhammadu Buhari followed the same blueprint. The statement reads, “These are facts and they are violations of some portions of the 1999 constitution (as amended). These include but not limited to Sections 10, 13 (3-4), 15 (2) (d) and (4). “We are ...

Ganduje, Sanusi And Peace Of Kano By Mariam Mohammed Maktoub

  Since May this year, the once ancient and cosmopolitan city of Kano is heaving breathlessly and except the major protagonists tread carefully, something might just give and the consequences are predictable. As a daughter of the soil, as they say, I am wont not to refer to any of those – Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and Emir Muhammadu Sanusi – as antagonists in the struggle for the traditional soul of the city so as not to cast any of the parties in this intriguing but worrying theatre as the agent provocateur. But the fact remains that since the day Governor Ganduje exercised his executive powers to create four additional emirates to the existing Kano emirate, it was never going to be an easy meat to chew. The issue is not about right or wrong; morality versus the law, rather circumspection, timing and the personality of those involved in the whole process of driving inclusion and creating a sense of equality for all Kano sons and daughters. Kano, it is generally agreed,...

Sowore’s Early Christmas Gift And Adesina’s Call For Revolution By SKC Ogbonnia

SKC Ogbonnia SKC Ogbonnia President Muhammadu Buhari must no longer continue to betray the vision of #RevolutionNow, being the call for protest against bad governance in Nigeria by the renowned anti-corruption and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore. Similarly, the President ought to embrace another powerful call this week for a revolution from no other than his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina.   But this appeal remains a tall order. The truth is that President Buhari reneged on the revolution agenda we deployed to free Nigeria from the 16-year of gross misrule under the Peoples Democratic Party. As a result, virtually every performance measurement index in the critical areas of social, economic, and politic development have become worse than the situation before he assumed power. Even in the areas where Buhari recorded measurable progress, his style of leadership has been utterly miasmic, enough to cause a saint to wear the look of a Satan. ...

Man Arraigned In Ondo For Posing As DSS Official To Defraud Visa Applicants

Bolaji Adeniyi, a 48-year-old man pretending to be an operative of the Department of State Services, has been arraigned before a Magistrate Court sitting in Akure, Ondo State.

He was accused to have collected N2, 360,000 from Okuepusu Uchenna (m), Elijah Moses (m) and Oluremi Bamidele (f), with a pretence to procure Canada, United States and Egypt visas for them. The offence committed by Adeniyi was said to be contrary to Section 383 and punishable under Sections 484, 419 and 390 (a) of the Criminal Code Cap 37, Volume 1, laws of Ondo State of Nigeria 2006. The pr...

TY Danjuma And His Dangerous Politics Of Fear By Churchill Okonkwo

Churchill Okonkwo Churchill Okonkwo Churchill Okonkwo Fear pervades Nigerians’ lives and Nigerian politics. Fear has been in the air since President Muhammadu Buhari won reelection. Fear has been surging since he closed the borders and announced a visa-free entry to all African countries starting next year. Nigerians are more afraid today than they have been in a long time. TY Danjuma, a master of fear knows this and is invoking it in concrete and abstract ways for political gains.  Danjuma, a former Minister of Defense, delivered a speech at the launch of a book in Lagos. There, he warned that in Yorubaland, everyone seems to have lost their voice in terms of speaking against “governance collapse.” He added, “If I tell you what I know that is happening in Nigeria today, you will no longer sleep.” “If you want details, I will give it to you privately.” Privately? What is going on in Nigeria? Per TY Danjuma, you are free to make a wild guess and any terrible thing you as...
