Jobs/Vacancies / Kwara Approves Employment Of 1,850 Teachers by 15Ebisco: 4:19am On Sep 27, 2018
The Kwara State governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, has approved the employment of 1,850 basic and senior secondary school teachers in the state to fill teacher shortages in sciences subjects and create fresh employment in the state. Ahmed approved the employment following separate requests by the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and the Kwara State Teaching Service Commission (TSC), according to a statement by his senior special assistant on Media and Communication, Dr Muyideen Akorede on Wednesday.

The two organisations based their requests on existing teacher shortages in the state, especially in English Language and Science subjects. According to the statement, Governor Ahmed approved the recruitment of 1,500 SUBEB teachers and 350 Senior Secondary School teachers.

The teacher shortages in the state persist despite recent interventions by the state government through its Kwara State Youth Empowerment Program (KWAYEP) and the federal governments NPower Scheme, prompting the state governor to grant the fresh approval for employment. Ahmed also directed SUBEB and TSC to ensure that due process is followed in the recruitment while ensuring spread across the 193 wards in the state.

Politics / Wike Kicks Against Plan To Change PDP Convention Venue by 15Ebisco: 4:05am On Sep 27, 2018
Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has declared that there will be consequences if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) succumbs to pressure from some PDP presidential aspirants to move the party’s national convention away from Port Harcourt. He further declared that the state will not support any presidential aspirant who is sabotaging the economy of the state by fighting the hosting of the party’s presidential primary in Port Harcourt. Wike spoke yesterday when Gombe State Governor and PDP Presidential Aspirant, Ibrahim Dankwambo, paid him a consultative visit at Government House, Port Harcourt, the state capital.

The governor warned that Rivers people will teach the party a bitter lesson if it allows planted desperate presidential aspirants to scuttle the hosting of the presidential primary in Port Harcourt as agreed by all leaders of the party. He stated at the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party, no presidential aspirant opposed the choice of Port Harcourt as venue. Wike further stated any presidential aspirant fighting Rivers State should forget about the support of the state, during and after the national convention.The governor said: “Let me warn the party, if you dare, Rivers State will teach the party a lesson.

Those days have passed when they took Rivers State for granted. Nobody can use and dump Rivers State”. “No lresidential aspirant can use and dump Rivers State. We never lobbied for it, we never asked for it, but it will boost the economy of the state. People will make money”. “Those who are against Rivers people from making money to improve their businesses, will not get our support.” He stated that whether the National Convention holds in Jigawa or Adamawa states, the winner preferred by the delegates will emerge.

The governor pointed out that there are persons who are not Presidential Materials, but have bought forms simply because the Presidency is zoned to the North. He wondered why a Presidential Aspirant would declare that he is uncomfortable with Port Harcourt as a venue, but would love Rivers’ oil. The governor stated that at the appropriate time, he will reveal the names of presidential aspirants working with the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government to scuttle the presidential primary.

He stated that no presidential aspirant will use a few members of the Board of Trustees of PDP to scuttle the decision of the party to host the presidential primary in Port Harcourt. Wike described Dankwambo as eminently qualified to contest the position of President, saying that the Gombe state governor will be considered when Rivers delegates meet to decide on who to support. Earlier, Gombe State Governor and PDP presidential aspirant, Dr Ibrahim Dankwambo called on Rivers PDP delegates to support his aspiration as he has the capacity to set the country on the path of growth.

Politics / Osun Decides: Declare Adeleke Winner Of Governorship Election Now – Oyinlola Tel by 15Ebisco: 10:10am On Sep 25, 2018
A former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to save the state from unnecessary tension.

The politician said INEC should declare Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, winner of the governorship election held on Saturday.

Oyinlola spoke to journalists in Osogbo, the Osun State capital on Monday.

He noted that neither INEC nor any political party had the right to subvert the constitution and the peace of the state.

He said, “INEC’s position is double-standard. The same INEC had returned winners in recent election with similar cases, especially in Kogi and Bauchi states.

“I call on INEC to reverse itself because the constitution and the Electoral Act are very clear on this matter. The winner must be declared forthwith.”

Politics / Tinubu Vs Ambode: APC Speaks On Gang-up Against Lagos Governor by 15Ebisco: 8:35pm On Sep 23, 2018
The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Lagos State, Tunde Balogun, has stated that there was no gang-up against Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

He also said the other aspirants challenging Ambode for the governorship ticket of the party were all qualified.

The APC Chairman said there was no crisis in the state chapter of the party, adding that it was normal in a democratic setting to have more than one aspirant for a particular position.

Balogun also claimed that there was no disagreement between Governor Ambode and national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Fielding questions from Punch, Balogun insisted that there was nothing like a gang-up against Ambode, adding that groups coming out to endorse a particular aspirant does not amount to gang up against the other aspirants.

According to him, “I can’t see any storm anywhere. It is not unusual in a truly democratic setting to have three or more aspirants that would be contesting a particular office.

“The fact that we have two other aspirants who want to be governor, apart from the sitting governor (Akinwunmi Ambode), who is seeking reelection, is normal.

“The two other candidates (Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Obafemi Hamzat) are equally loyal and committed members of the party and they have the constitutional right to contest any elective office in the country.

“I don’t really see anything abnormal in what is happening in Lagos right now.

“It will be wrong of the party to prevent others from aspiring to any position of their choice.

“What is happening right now is democracy in action. It is the right of anybody, without anybody stopping them or giving them any inhibition, to come out and exercise their rights.

“Stopping others because the incumbent wants to go for a second term will amount to being dictatorial and we are progressives.

“There is nothing like a gang-up anywhere. The fact that some groups are coming out to endorse a particular candidate does not amount to a gang-up. It simply shows that we are truly democratic.

“The constitution of our party provides for anybody wishing to aspire to any position of his or her choice without any inhibition.

“So, the fact that you see some people coming together, even as elected officials, to endorse a particular candidate, shows that democracy is in action.

“I don’t know what you mean by reconciling Asiwaju and Ambode. I am not aware of any disagreement between them.”

“We are totally at a loss as to why @OfficialAPCNg Governors will leave their respective states to invade Osun state on the eve of Election Day.

“The plot is to rig the elections in favour of the APC candidate, Gboyega Oyetola, who is apparently very unpopular in the state.

“Breaking!@OfficialAPCNg agents are currently sharing money at ward 8, unit 3 Ota Efun in Olorunda local government.

Politics / Umahi Fires Special Assistant For Absconding From Duty by 15Ebisco: 3:19am On Sep 20, 2018
Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi has sacked his Special Assistant (SA) on Primary Health (Ebonyi Central Zone), Mrs Stephanie Ugo-Chima, for absconding from duty for over a month.

Dr. Hyginus Nwokwu, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), made the disclosure on Wednesday in Abakaliki during a joint state Executive Council.

Nwokwu said that Ugo-Chima absconded from her duties and responsibilities as an aide to the governor within the period which necessitated the relieving of her duty.

“The insinuation that her sack was political is unfounded because all appointment or sack of public officers is political.

“There are laid down rules for such appointments, but the civil service rules are not applied in these cases because such appointees are not civil servants,” he said.

The SSG also clarified the issue of the Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in the state, Mrs Elizabeth Ogbaga, who had also not been seen in her official duties and public functions for long.

“Ogbaga as far as the office of the SSG is concerned, is on leave,” he said.

“A Local Government Area (LGA) development centre coordinator and two LGA advisory committee members were also sworn-in during the council’s meeting,” he said.

Celebrities / “I Allowed Instagram Ruin My Self Esteem” – Actress, Rosaline Meurer by 15Ebisco: 6:13pm On Sep 15, 2018
Nollywood actress, Rosaline Meurer has taken to social media to share her experience allowing social media determine the course of her life.

The actress shared a lenghty post advising people to stay true to themselves and not make social media their standard.

Meurer wrote: “Now I am going to start with myself, I have been a victim In the past of allowing Instagram ruin my self esteem. Most times I would go on social media and look at the facetuning, photoshopped, unreal Images of what is a hit Instagram photo and compare myself wishing and stressing over how I could be more of what I see. God had plans for me so he revealed to me trough someone’s life, one of the people I would look at and admire on Social media and compare myself to.

I got the chance to be close to the person and that alone changed my entire mind, views and reasoning. I got to see behind the scene of the persons me, I got to see the preparations before the IT picture was posted on Instagram.

I got to see the processing of the pictures, I got to see the clear picture. How one would go out of their way and displease themselves to make their lives on social media the dream life. I was able to weigh both lives. The Instagram lite and the real life. I was aware. In real Iife, l was a 1001 times better and fresher. To think that I almost went crazy trying to be Like a mere modified Image.

“Now that being said,l know there are thousands of people that are still victims of this. I Just want you to know that you can rather focus and remind yourself on what your body is designed to do Instead of how it looks. We tend to beat up ourselves, getting frustrated, getting depressed. wishing and asking God unnecessary and ungrateful questions rather than appreciating the fact that your legs you’re comparing and looking down on takes you from point A to point B. you are able to run and be active. Your eyes that you hate so much can see very clearly. your nose that you feel is too big or too wide can smell well, your boobs that are too small can still breastfeed your child.

Having appreciation for the function of our bodies is very important. I am not trying to condemn anyone or judge anyone. I just want someone out there to know that having life alone Is the greatest gift anyone can ever ask for. Don’t ever look down on yourself or think anyone is better than you. The best body doesn’t live the longest. The richest people cannot buy life, the most famous and most talked about celebrities that you want to be like don’t have inner peace.

Be who you are. God doesn’t make mistakes. Your flaws might be part of Gods plans and blessings in your life. Be an original so your blessings don’t pass you by. Focus on growth, happiness and your loved ones. Life is 1. You will never have another change to make It right. The right time is NOW. I hope with this, I‘m able to touch one soul. Vanity upon vanity my love is VANITY.

Politics / DELTA SOUTH: Itsekiri, Ijaw, Isoko Silence Prolonging Manager’s Stay by 15Ebisco: 7:24am On Sep 15, 2018
The Ijaw Council of Elders in Delta State, otherwise known as Izon Okosutu has said that the silence of Itsekiri, Isoko and Ijaw ethnic groups made it possible for Sen James Manager to remain in the Senate since 2003.

Chairman of the group, Chief Bare Etolor said this yesterday in Warri while presenting the Ijaw position on rotation in the zone.

His words: “Given the obvious fact that all the processes leading to the 2019 elections by the various political parties are almost concluded, the rotation of the senatorial seat among the three ethnic groups (Ijaw, Isoko and Itsekiri) should take effect after the next election, with the winner kick- starting the proposed rotation agreement. If by a stroke of luck, any Ijaw candidate from any of the political parties wins, the winner will serve only one tenure.

“But if a winner emerges from either the Itsekiri or Isoko, the person will by this rotation arrangement serve only two tenures, before passing to either of the two”.

In his remark chief, Brown Mene who presented the Itsekiri’s position as it affects the Senatorial Seat in 2019, traced the history of the senatorial rotation agreement to the first republic and asserted that they feel it’s the turn of Itsekiri to produce Delta South Senator in 2019.

While stressing that they “will demand this time that the representative should be reporting to us as 3Is”, Chief Mene declared that Itsekiri leadership does not believe that their Ijaw counterparts sent James Manager to remain in the senate for this long”.

Recall that the leadership of Isoko Development Union, IDU has affirmed their support for Itsekiri candidacy as far as the senatorial position is concerned in 2019.

The Ologbotsere of Warri, Chief Ayirimi Emami who led the Itsekiri delegation, thanked the Ijaw Council of Elders.

“I am on a hunger strike to protest and register my grievances about the condition of the country; I will remain here for the next seven days and I do not mind if I die here.

“If my dying on this mast will change the economy of this country, then I choose to die for others to live a good life.

“I have not eaten for days and also other Nigerians, if I die on this mast I am not worried, no roads in the states only in the city of Abuja you can see good roads.

‘’The doctors have said that a man can survive only on water without food for some days, I believe I can and if I cannot I will die.”

Lliyasu said that there was nothing working in the country, adding that the education, health system, infrastructure are all in bad shape.

Celebrities / Why Johnny Drille Doesn’t Want To Sound Like Wizikid, Davido by 15Ebisco: 7:26am On Sep 11, 2018
Johnny Drille, who recently teamed up with Simi for a song, ‘Hallelujah,’ has insisted that the fear of sounding like Davido and Wizkid made him settle for alternative music.

While speaking with GoldmyneTV, the Mavin singer said he knew the only way he could be heard was to do a music that was different.

He explained, “When I came into the industry, I saw that it was saturated with artistes doing afrobeat and afropop, and they were many. I thought of a way to make people listen to me. I reasoned that if I wanted to sound like Davido or Wizkid, I might not be able to make an impact. Settling for alternative music was an experiment that worked for me. Initially, my PR didn’t agree with me, as he felt Nigerians were not ready for folk music yet. But I had belief in my first song, Love Don’t Lie. The response was not massive but encouraging enough to make me put out more songs.”

Politics / 2019: President Buhari To Receive His Nomination Form On Tuesday Despite Critici by 15Ebisco: 8:07pm On Sep 10, 2018
President Muhammadu Buhari will officially receive his presidential Nomination Form and the Expression of Interest on Tuesday, the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports.

The event will hold at the new Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, at 11.30a.m.

The forms will be handed over to Buhari by the socio-political group, the Nigeria Consolidation Ambassadors Network, NCAN, which purchased it for the president.

Recall that NCAN had last week Wednesday purchased the Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for Buhari.

NCAN’s National Coordinator, Sanusi Musa, had said the group could not hand over the documents to the president immediately after purchase due to his China trip.

He said: “The president is just back, so we have not yet presented the form to the president. We are in the process of sending it. We will send it to him.’’

Celebrities / “women Who Wear Waist Chain Will Make Heaven” – Adaora Ukoh by 15Ebisco: 6:57am On Sep 10, 2018
While many women consider the wearing of leg chains as just another fashion statement, Some believe there are less-than-ideal symbolic associations to the accessory.

Also, many criticize women who wear leg chains insinuating that these women are loose.

Actress Maryam Charles took to her twitter handle to lament about the trending criticism against women while also declaring that wearing a piece of jewelry doesn’t signify that you are easy to get or lose.

She added that what you wear doesn’t define you as a woman. Double piercings, waist chain or leg chain/anklet is not what will determine who will go to heaven.
Read her post below ;

“I saw a post on Twitter where one lady attempted to criticize women who wear leg chains. She even goes ahead to insult their husbands saying they are f-oli-h for allowing their wives to put it on. In summary, she insinuated that these women are loose.

I laughed into the depths of my belly at such a naive post because since when did a piece of jewelry determine who is loose? The only thing this lady did not do was call these women pr-st-t-t-s. Who is a loose woman? Is the question that has been on my mind.

When will people learn to mind their business? Wearing a piece of jewelry doesn’t signify that you are easy to get because I know and have heard of women who don’t even use makeup doing the evilest things. What you wear doesn’t define you as a woman. Double piercings, waist chain or leg chain/anklet is not what will determine who will go to heaven”.

A meeting of party leaders on Thursday agreed that the party’s candidate would be chosen through direct or indirect primaries.

A communique signed by the deputy governor, Abubakar Aliyu, said Governor Gaidam would be allowed to single-handedly decide who will be the APC governorship candidate.

“The meeting resolves that a discretion is given to HE Alh. (Dr.) Ibrahim Gaidam to present a competent and acceptable person as the Gubernatorial Flag bearer of our great party (APC) in the forthcoming 2019 general elections for our dear state,” it read.

The Yobe APC leaders also agreed that the governor would get the ticket to contest the Yobe East senatorial election in 2019.

The seat is currently being occupied by a former governor of the state, Bukar-Abba Ibrahim, who did not attend the meeting.

However, Ibrahim’s wife, Khadijat Bukar-Abba, the current minister of state – foreign affairs, was at the meeting.

Indications have emerged that leading governorship aspirant in Imo State, Senator Ifeanyi Ararume, and immediate-past national organising secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Osita Izunaso, are set to dump the ruling party for the All Progressives Grand Alliance, (APGA).

Both men were at the APGA national headquarters yesterday for a closed-door meeting with the national chairman of APGA, Mr. Victor Oye, in Abuja.

The two politicians are currently engaged in running battle with Governor Rochas Okorocha for the control of APC structure in Imo State.

Though both men left the Secretariat without stating their mission, Izunaso told journalists that consultations were still ongoing and that another meeting had been slated for Friday.

“I can’t talk now. I have already said that. After our final meeting, I will talk. I am going to have another meeting on Friday and we will talk after that,” he said.

Although Ararume did not state the outcome of the meeting, it was, however, gathered that the former senator may pick the nomination form of the party on Friday to contest for the Imo governorship seat.

Meanwhile, aspirants seeking APGA’s ticket have besieged the national headquarters of the party in Abuja.

The aspirants, predominantly from Imo, Anambra and Abia States, came to pick nomination forms to contest various positions.

So far, Imo State is leading with over 30 aspirants, gunning for governorship, senatorial and House of Representatives seats. It is followed by Anambra.

A leader of the Parliamentary Support Group, PSG, and Senator from Delta Central, Ovie Omo-Agege, has alleged that the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his friends have been praying for the death of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He claimed that when Saraki and his friends’ prayer failed, they decided to plot Buhari’s impeachment.

Omo-Agege made the allegation at Sapele area of the state during the climax of his consultative visit to leaders, elders, ward and local council executives of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Delta central on his reelection bid.

The lawmaker also vowed that he and other APC Senators would ensure that Saraki was “chased away” from the Senate.

He said as long as he and other APC senators were in the Senate, “any attempts to impeach Buhari would not succeed.

“As we speak, we have driven him out of the APC and we would also sack him as Senate President and chase him away from the Senate.

“At the end of everything, he would know that it is me that is behind it.

“Saraki does not like President Buhari. He and his friends have been praying for the death of Mr. President and when they didn’t succeed, they plotted to impeach him and we have refused that. As long as we are in the senate, I want to assure that it would not happen.”

Fellaini sees no reason why United cannot work their way back into title contention as they continue to look to the future and ignore those who want to dwell on the past.

The Belgium international told the club’s official website: “The season is long and it’s only the beginning of the season.

“In the last two years, we started very well. This season, a bit less, but the season is long so let’s keep going.

“In the Premier League, everything is possible so let's see. Like I said, the next game is more important than this one.”

Fellaini will be hoping to figure when Jose Mourinho’s side return to action away at Watford, with the 30-year-old having come back into the side to play an important midfield role at Turf Moor.

He added: “The manager put me in the team and I gave everything for the team, but the most important thing is the three points.

“The manager knows my qualities so he knows how I can help the team. I do it with pleasure. Everybody has to help the team and give everything.

“I know what I have to do. I have certain experience, 10 years in the Premier League.

“When he gives me a chance, I try to give everything. The whole team played well and that's the most important thing.”

The St. Paul's Catholic Church, Ugolo, Adagbrasa in Okpe local government area of Delta state which collapsed on worshippers on Sunday, September 2, was 100 years old, a report has said.

Daily Trust reports that a preliminary report by the Delta state government delegation on inquiry of the collapsed building said the church was built 100 years ago.

An aide to the governor quoting the leader of the delegation and the commissioner of works in the state, James Augoye, said the church collapsed as a result of heavily soaked waters.

He said: "The church is a 100 years old church building and in an attempt to rebuild and expand the church, the old church building collapsed as a result of heavily soaked waters occasioned by the weight of worshippers who leaned against the walls while the early morning mass was on."

He also called for necessary approvals for buildings especially public structure before construction to avoid such incidences.

Meanwhile, Mc Ebisco previously reported that a Catholic Church in Delta state collapsed during morning mass on Sunday, September 2.

The collapse of the church building led to the death of one person while many others were injured.
