See Why Wizkid Rejected N25million Fee For Performance

Reports making rounds on the internet suggests that Wizkid just turned down a major mouth-watering offer to perform outside Nigeria. He was reportedly offered £50,000 (N25m) for an international show, which he rejected; saying his brand is not that cheap. Nigeria’s economy is in recession, so it’s understandable if artistes reject Naira payments – because it has little or no value when converted to foreign currency. It is rumored that Wizkid has been charging £100,000 for shows outside Nigeria for several months now – due to his rising profile on the international music scene. The £50,000 deal he rejected was said to have been brokered by his international management team “Disturbing London” – which is co-owned by British/Nigerian rapper, Tinie Tempah. Wizzy is yet to confirm or deny this report

N70bn 8 Years After Creation, Niger Delta Ministry Completes Only One Project – Minister

The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Uguru Usani, on Monday said the ministry had successfully completed only one project since its creation eight years ago. He stated this in Abuja while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria. The ministry was created in 2008 by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua. It has two ministers previously – Ufot Ekaette and Godsday Orubebe – both of who are from the oil-rich region as the incumbent. Mr. Usani said it was regrettable that no project had been commissioned or completed since the establishment of the ministry in 2008, except a cassava processing plant in Ondo State by the present administration. He decried the destruction of oil facilities by Niger Delta Avengers, arguing that no matter the provocation, it was wrong for the group to destroy the environment that bore the people`s heritage. He said the region was everybody’s business and that no personal or collective interest was worth the destruction of oil pipelines in the region. “Let’s come together as one to protect our communities; let’s preach love, peace, tolerance, patience and dialogue with one another,” Mr. Usani said. “Let’s convince ourselves that it is our region and that we have nowhere to go to, if we destroy it.” The minister urged the people of the region to support the President Muhammadu Buhari, saying that they had benefitted more from it him than any other Nigerian president. He said measures were being put in place to ensure due process and accountability in the ministry, with regards to project implementation, especially in the Niger region. Mr. Usani, therefore, urged people of the region to task themselves and take responsibility of their collective heritage. He said, “Henceforth, we must refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of our history.

Corruption Now Official In Nigeria – Pastor Tunde Bakare

Founder of the Latter Rain Assembly, Tunde Bakare has affirmed that government officials in Nigeria have succeeded in making corrupt practices official in the country. Bakare, who made this statement at the launch of Onyekachi Ubani Foundation in Lagos, weekend, noted that: “At the twilight of the military era in Nigeria’s political trajectory, the name “Nigeria” became synonymous with a certain word, a word that elicits the image of a cesspool running over corruption. “At that time, precisely in 1999, Transparency International rated Nigeria the second most corrupt country in the world in terms of perception, second only to her eastern neighbour, Cameroon. “For instance, given the unbridled looting of the treasury at the time, reportedly to the tune of over 1billion dollars as was subsequently uncovered following the exit of the military, it was obvious that the abnormal had become the norm, the illegal had become legal, the outrageous had become banal and the aberrant had become the gold standard. “Despite the emergence of a new government on the heels of a strong anti-corruption campaign, despite the credence lent to this anti-corruption promise by the antecedents of President Muhammadu Buhari, and despite global acknowledgment that Nigeria has taken shovel loads off the peak of this mountain of filth,” he added.

MUST READ!!! Nigeria’s 36 States And The Origin Of Their Names..

A lot of Nigerians have no clue how most Nigerian states got their names and i was in this category until i read through. Did you know that most Nigerian states were named after Rivers? Na wah! 1. ABIA: Abia is an acronym derived from the name of the four main groups of people in the state as at the time it was formed in 1991: Aba Bende Isuikwuato Afikpo 2. ADAMAWA: This state was named after a warrior that conquered the region in the beginning of the 19th century. His name was Modibbo Adama Bin Ardo Hassan. 3. AKWA–IBOM: Akwa Ibom is named after a river, the Qua Iboe (or Kwa Iboe) River. 4. ANAMBARA: It was derived from the name of the Oma Mbal (Omambala)River (in Ibo, the native name of the river is Ànyịm Ọma Mbala). 5. BAUCHI: There are three versions of how Bauchi got its name. One version says ‘Bauchi’ is Hausa word meaning the southern planks of Hausa land. Tribes living in the southern parts of the Hausa land were referred to as “kasashen bauchi” and the area they lived in later came to be known simply as Bauchi. According to the second version the state was named for Baushe, a famous hunter who settled there before the 19th century while the third states that ‘bauchi’ is Hausa word for slavery since it was a center for slave raiders. 6. BAYELSA: Bayelsa was formed as a result of the clamour from the three LGAs in old River (Brass LGA known as BALGA, Yenegoa LGA known as YELGA and Sagbama LGA – SALGA). The name came about from the combination of their acronymns. BA+YEL+SA = BAYELSA. 7. BENUE: It is a word from the Batta language ‘Binuwe’ which means ‘Mother of Waters’. 8. BORNO: The name was derived from ‘Borno’, an alternative name of the Kanuris who form the predominant ethnic group in the state. 9. CROSS RIVER: The state took its name from a River called Oyono or Cross River. 10. DELTA: It was named from the delta of the River Niger which formed as it enters the Atlantic Ocean. 11. EBONYI: The state was named after the Aboine River that cuts through Abakaliki, the state capital. 12. EDO: Named after the Bini people who had always referred to themselves as Edo or Iduu. 13. EKITI: ‘Ekiti’ is a term that is said to denote a settlement of many hills “Okiti” 14. ENUGU: Enugu derived its name from two local words enu ugwu which means ‘top of the hill’. 15. GOMBE: Named after the dialect of Fulani language (Fulfulde)spoken in the area ‘Gombe’. 16. IMO: This state is named after the Imo River (Imo Mmiri). 17. JIGAWA: The state was named after its distinctively golden-coloured soil, Jigawa. 18. KADUNA: The state after the crocodiles in Kaduna River. Kadunas is Hausa plural word for crocodiles. 19. KANO: The state was named after a blacksmith of the Gaya tribe who settled in the area while sourcing for iron stone. His name was Kano. 20. KATSINA: Katsina was named after the wife of the local ruler known as Janzama. Her name was Katsina. 21. KEBBI: Legend has it that Kebbi was named after the Ka’abba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. 22. KOGI: The name Kogi was said to have be derived from ‘kogin’, hausa for river. This is to represent the fact that the two biggest Rivers in Nigeria, River Niger and River Benue form a confluence in the state. 23. KWARA: This was named after the River Niger which forms the Northern border of the state. The Nupes used to call the river Kwara. 25. LAGOS: The name is a Portuguese word for lakes. The Portuguese were the first set of Europeans to reach Lagos in 1472. The name was inspired by the lagoons and rivers in Lagos. 26. NASARAWA: It was so named by the founder of Nasarawa kingdom,Makama Dogo. Nasarawa means Victorious. 27. NIGER: Named after the popular River Niger. 28. OGUN: Named after the Ogun River. 28. ONDO: This was named after the settlers of the old Ondo Kingdom.Ondo is a word for settlers. 29. OSUN: Like a number of other Nigerian states, it was also named after a river; River Osun. 30.

RIVERS: A state with many water bodies, Rivers State was named for many of the rivers present in the area. 33. SOKOTO: Named after the defunct Sokoto Caliphate. Sokoto is the anglicized version of the Arabic word ‘suk’ which means ‘market’ or ‘place of commerce’. Or “assukuut” which means “silence” in Arabic. 34. TARABA: The state was named after the Taraba River. 35. YOBE: The state was named after Komadugu Yobe (Waube or Ouobe) or River Yobe (or River of Yo). 36.

Mikel, Others Stop Siasia From Resigning As Coach After The Nigeria-Sweden Match

AfricanFootball.com can exclusively reveal that it needed the quick intervention of Chelsea skipper Mikel Obi and other players to stop Samson Siasia from resigning as coach of Nigeria Olympic team. A top source in the team told AfricanFootball.com: “Siasia wanted to quit his post after the win over Sweden, but the players led by Mikel begged him to rescind his decision. “The coach complained that he has been badly treated by the authorities, he has not been paid for five months and his team have not received the necessary support to succeed.” The outspoken Siasia has openly complained about his poor working conditions even before the Rio Olympics. And at the height of the drama when the team were stranded at their training base in Atlanta, Georgia, Siasia shunned the calls of sports minister Solomon Dalung and directly called the Nigerian vice-president Yemi Osinbajo to complain about his team’s plight. Nigeria have already qualified for the last eight of the Rio Olympics and await the runners-up in Group A, which looks likely to be hosts Brazil, for a place in the semi-finals of the Olympics event. They take on Colombia in the final group game on Wednesday in Sao Paulo.

PDP Slams Aisha Buhari, Says Pictures Of President Wife’s To U.S Fake

The Ekiti State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, on Monday said Aisha Buhari’s widely-publicised journey to the United States was a carefully-choreographed deceit that should be condemned by Nigerians. The party’s statement was circulated by Lere Olayinka, Governor Ayodele Fayose’s media aide. It argued that the trip could not have been said to be genuine as no official statement to that effect was issued by the presidency. “Even the Presidency has not told anyone that wife of the President travelled to the USA and in official communications, only ignorant and mischief makers in the APC will belief that a trip to the USA will be made by Mrs Buhari and Nigerians will only get to know about it through online media,” Mrs. Buhari had on August 4 arrived in the Washington D.C. as a special guest at the 25th Anniversary celebration of the Zumunta Association. Mr. Buhari’s trip received huge media coverage in the United States and across the world, with the Voice of America interviewing her on Saturday. But in his message on Monday, the PDP said Mrs. Buhari and her handlers were fooling Nigerians by circulating pictures purportedly taken in the U.S. when they could have been of anywhere else, in an apparent attempt to keep to Mr. Fayose’s claims that the president’s wife cannot step on American soil. “It is only in the world of the APC that wife of the President of Nigeria, the most populous black nation in the world would travel to the USA, ostensibly to debunk her involvement in a major scam and no television station will report her departure and arrival. The question is, did she travel to USA or Qatar?” the PDP said. In a statement issued on Monday by the State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr Jackson Adebayo, the party said; “If the Presidency has not been bold enough to tell Nigerians that Mrs Aisha Buhari travelled to the USA on official visit, only a party of scammers like the APC will go on the rooftops to celebrate photoshoped pictures as evidence of visit to USA.” The party said “it is strange that wife of the President of Nigeria could travel to the USA and purportedly attended events there without international television stations like CNN, Al jazeera, BBC, Sky News etc and local stations like Channels TV, NTA, AIT and others reporting it. Or are they still ‘editing’ the video clips?” While casting doubt at the purported trip, the PDP said: “Even if Mrs Aisha Buhari actually travelled to the USA, does that erase the fact that in the judgment delivered by the United State District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, USA, in criminal No 1: 07CR209, that indicted the USA Congressman, Williams Jefferson, it was mentioned that $170,000 was transferred from account in Nigeria in the name of Aisha Buhari to an account in the name of The ANJ Group, LLC, identifying William Jefferson as beneficiary?” The statement read further; “As a party of responsible and discerning minds, the PDP in Ekiti State would have elected to ignore the APC and allow the party the freedom to advertise it idiocy. This is more so that the matter is now a subject of litigation and the no one has denied the existence of the judgment that indicted Williams Jefferson and featured conspicuously at page 22, the name of Aisha Buhari as having transferred $170,000 from account in Nigeria to William Jefferson. “Most importantly, Nigerians have witnessed more heinous forgeries from the APC, one of them being pictorial claim that President Buhari (as APC presidential candidate then) had an interview with Kemi Fadojutimi on ‘All Eyes on Africa’ TV show in London, whereas the interview was held in Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja. “However, it is important to point out that from all evidences, the pictures circulated as arrival of President Buhari’s wife at Dulles International Airport, Washington DC could have been taken at the Doha International Airport, Qatar. Even on the official website of George Mason University and US Institute of Peace, USA where the president’s was said to have attended events, there is nothing to show that she attended any event in the two institutions. “We have seen pictures of Wife of the Senate President, Toyin Saraki with President Barrack Obama’s wife, Michelle. We also saw pictures of Mrs Patience Jonathan with Michelle Obama when she visited the USA. Where are Aisha Buhari’s pictures with the First Lady of USA and major government officials from the country? Or could she have arrived and departed from the USA like a spirit?” “It is even more important that nothing official has been said about the purported trip. Not from the President’s spokespersons.” Premium Times

EFCC Arrests 3 Airports Authority Staff For N100m Fraud Using 8 Accounts (Photo)

The EFCC, on August 2, 2016 arrested a level six officer of the Accounts Department of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, Christy Olabode, for an alleged fraud to the tune of N100 million. Also arrested was her younger brother, Abdul-Shehu Obaze, a staff at the Commercial Department of FAAN in Ilorin, Kwara State, and Dominic Ojo, an IT officer at FAAN Headquarters, Lagos. Her arrest followed an anonymous petition, which indicated that she allegedly diverted the said sum, by inserting names of non-FAAN staff into its payroll. She allegedly conspired with Obaze, to perpetrate the fraud. Obaze was found to have maintained not less than eight accounts in seven new generation banks, which were used to receive the funds for onward distribution to “several high ranking officers within the FAAN”. The funds were being paid into his various bank accounts with the narrative, “Furniture Allowance”. However, while allowance for FAAN’s furniture is usually paid once in three years, Obaze received the “allowance” several times within a year. Investigations carried out by the EFCC revealed that the fraud had gone on since 2013. It unearthed a payroll with names of many dead, retired and disengaged staff of FAAN listed against Obaze’s different bank accounts. Upon interrogation, Obaze, a level nine officer, confessed that other FAAN officials were involved in the massive fraud, including Olabode’s husband who works in the Human Resources department of FAAN. Olabode and Ojo currently enjoy administrative bail, while Obaze remains in EFCC custody. They would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.

Obasanjo Left Prison With 20K But Is Now One Of W’Africa’s Wealthiest Ex-Presidents – Clark Says

Edwin Clark, elder statesman and Ijaw national leader, says he has always been in support of the fight against corruption, recalling how he challenged former President Olusegun Obasanjo for having just N20,000 when he left prison but is now one of the wealthiest ex-presidents in West Africa. Addressing reporters at his Warri, Delta state residence on Friday, Clark said he confronted Obasanjo with this allegation in the era of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Maintaining that Nigerians know his stance against corruption, Clark spoke on the role he played in the conviction of James Ibori, former Delta state governor, who is currently serving a jail term in London. “I talked about corruption during the time of erstwhile President Obasanjo and Yar’ Adua,” he said. “During Jonathan’s time, I accused Chief Obasanjo that he was the most corrupt ex-president Nigeria had ever produced. I said that he left prison with only N20,000, but today he is one of the wealthiest former presidents in the whole of West Africa. “I was also in the forefront of fighting our former governor, Chief James Ibori, leading to him being sentenced UK. Every Nigerian is aware of this. I led the crusade against him especially when a judge dropped the charges against him.” Clark said people accusing him of not speaking against corruption were “unpatriotic”. Responding to a recent critical piece against him, the Ijaw leader said: “Ordinarily, I shouldn’t have reply to it because whoever is the author is vicious, wicked and not a patriotic Nigerian. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have written I never spoke against corruption during the time of former President Goodluck Jonathan. “I said the author is being vicious because I have been talking about corruption even before the time of Jonathan.” Source: The Cable

Fayose Kept On Raising False Allegations Against Me – Aisha Buhari Speaks During US Interview

Mrs Aisha Buhari who is currently on a week-long visit in the United States of America spoke in an interview with the Hausa service of the Voice of America, VOA. According to the wife of the president, she sued Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, because he attacked her for no reason, while also raising false allegations against her. She said Mr. Fayose had been insulting her and the president since during the 2015 campaign. “At the time, he was not the only one insulting us, but people felt that it was just campaign,” Mrs. Buhari said. “After the election, which we won and they lost, everyone else moved on except him and he extended his insults to me. “I did not run for president. I am a married woman and I have never called his name. I never knew him. But as governor and chief executive, he kept insulting and raising false allegations against me, I have to respond and I decided to go to court. “He made allegations over what he said I did here in the US, even though I have never met the people he mentioned.” Mr. Fayose had dared Mrs. Buhari to visit the United States after he falsely accused her of having been indicted in the famous William Jefferson bribery scandal. The governor insisted the president’s wife was named in the scam even after this newspaper’s investigation showed clearly she was not the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the case.

A failure to sign Paul Pogba could lead to an unhappy dressing room at Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand has warned.

It was gathered Jose Mourinho’s side are set to sign the midfielder form Juventus for €110 million, though a deal is yet to be completed. United were thought to be keen on striking a deal before Sunday’s Community Shield against Leicester City, but they are yet to make a breakthrough. And Ferdinand is concerned that United players who have been expecting to line up alongside Pogba could become disillusioned if the deal is not done. “As a player in the changing room, you’ve been thinking for so long: ‘He’s coming, he’s coming’,” Ferdinand was quoted as saying by The Independent. “If he doesn’t sign it could have an adverse effect mentally on the players in the changing room. For a short period of time at least. “It’s important they sign him.”
