Politics / Read Why Gen. Buhari Will Divide NNPC Into Two by 240naija(m): 8:41pm On Jul 25, 2015 |
Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari has revealed what he intends to do with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. President Buhari said the national oil company will be divided into two successor entities under his administration. President Buhari revealed to journalists in Washington DC that the decision would form one of the key steps of his reform of the country’s oil and gas sector. While one of the successor companies will be an independent regulator, the President said the second would operate as an investment vehicle for the country. He said, “I am reforming the oil and gas sector, breaking up the NNPC into two parts – the first will become an independent regulator for the sector, while the second will act as an investment vehicle for the country.” Buhari also said there would be a new bid round for oil blocks in the country, adding that he favours transparent auction process. “I will also end political control of the awarding of drilling and exploration rights by introducing a system of independent, transparent auctioning for licences,” the President said. Senate President Bukola Saraki had, recently, described the NNPC as the engine room of corruption. He lamented that none of the perpetrators of illegal deals in the corporation had so far been apprehended and brought to justice. “You hardly see where people who are the real engine room – which is the NNPC – where most of these corruption cases on oil are, being put on trial,” he said. Similarly, Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, had last week called for the setting up of another national oil firm as he argued that the present NNPC would kill Nigeria if it was allowed to continue running. “If you don’t kill the NNPC, it will kill Nigeria,” el- Rufai said. Buhari, as part of the ongoing reform of several strata of the country, said his administration would merge the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission into one strong and more effective anti-graft agency. He said, “Corruption is one of the top three issues facing Nigeria, along with insecurity and unemployment. We must act to kill corruption or corruption will kill Nigeria. I am determined to lead that fight. “My government is already taking several steps to cut out the cancer of corruption that has been eating away at the state for so long. “We are reorganising the existing plethora of anti- corruption bodies into single powerful agency that will have the focus, power and budget to clamp down on corruption at the federal and state levels.” The President said ministers would no longer have power to award contracts while announcing the introduction of a new system of plea bargaining to encourage looters of the government money and oil thieves to return the people’s stolen commonwealth. He said, “I have already acted to remove political control over awarding of contracts away from ministers who use them to get political favours and kickbacks. “I will introduce a new system of plea bargain, that will allow those who have stolen assets and funds to return them – but if they do not take that opportunity we will pursue them through the courts.” President Buhari insisted that his administration would not relent in asking foreign countries, including the US, to help in returning stolen funds that are sitting in private accounts abroad, but rightfully belonging to the people of Nigeria. The President also lamented that the country had become over-dependent on oil because of the incompetence and corruption of government that concentrated on “how best to steal oil revenues instead of how best to use our oil windfalls to invest in a modern, growing economy.” Rather than continue to depend on oil, Buhari said Nigeria must become a manufacturing giant. “I will not be satisfied until the label ‘Made in Nigeria’ is as common globally, as the label ‘Made in China,'” he added. http://www.levitoday..com/2015/07/read-why-gen-buhari-will-divide-nnpc.html?m=1 |

Politics / Argentine Politicians Breastfeeds Baby During Parliamentary Session (photos) by 240naija(m): 3:40pm On Jul 25, 2015 |
Victoria Donda Perez's eight-month-old daughter was hungry while she was attending a meeting in Argentine National Congress earlier this month so she whipped out her breasts and fed her in the full glare of everyone. She is being hailed as a role-model for women and the picture had further opened up a conversation on public breastfeeding. What do you think? How many women would do same? Some women said that they would rather go into the car or restroom to breastfeed their children. photos @ http://www.levitoday..nl/2015/07/argentinian-politician-praised-after.html?m=1 |

mutual friend. "We met through a mutual friend,
Oma Iyasara. She was certain we would make a
perfect couple" , she said.

determined and knows what he wants out of life"
while the actor hinted it was her physical beauty
that attracted him to her.
"My last relationship had just ended and my
friend who is also an actress told me about
Sonia
who she met on Instagram. I maintained that I
was not interested until she showed me Sonia’s
picture. That singular act aroused my curiosity
and I was determined to become friends with
her.
I sent her a friend request which she accepted.
Soon after, we began exchanging messages. Two
months after we started chatting, she visited
Nigeria for the first time", he said.

Nairaland / General / Magic! Man Sighted In Ikeja Sitting In Mid- Air (photos) by 240naija(m): 12:44pm On Jul 19, 2015 |
Is there the remotest possibility that someone
can
defy gravity by sitting suspended in the air with
no visible sign of support or it is just illusion?
This and many more must have been the
questions running through the minds of
passersby
in the Ikeja area of Lagos State yesterday when
they came across the man in the photos sitting
on nothing for more than 30 minutes.
See the photos and tell if it is possible or we're
just looking at the work of a good magician. |

A man named Paul Pelton, 41 has been reportedly arrested by the police to be charged for court over an uncivil and heartless action he exhibited towards accident victims on Monday, 13th of July. Paul allegedly witnessed a road crash incident in Lorain, Ohio, which is about 30 miles from Cleveland and instead of extending a helping hand to the victims who were mostly children, he pulled out his cellphone and started recording the event while the victims battled for their lives. http://www.levitoday..nl/2015/07/man-arrested-for-filming-accident.html?m=1 |

Politics / Cameroon Bans Use Of Muslim Veil After Series Of Boko Haram Attacks by 240naija(m): 2:13pm On Jul 16, 2015 |
The governor of far north region of Cameroon, Midjiyawa Bakari has banned the use of Burqa, a face covering apparel worn by Muslim women. The Governor said the ban is as a result of last Sunday's suicide attack carried out by two women wearing Burqa. Announcing the decision yesterday July 15th, the governor said “I took this measure because of the security situation prevailing in the region. No one suspected them and that is why we have ordered women to stop wearing veils and the police and military to arrest all women wearing veils,” he said. Last month, Chad banned the use of full-face Muslim veil throughout the country due to increased female suicide bombing attack. more photos @ http://www.levitoday..com/2015/07/cameroon-bans-use-of-muslim-veil-after.html? |

Health / Inhalable Ebola Vaccine Discovered by 240naija(m): 12:54pm On Jul 14, 2015 |
Who says an Ebola vaccine has to be injected? Certainly not. Researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), Galveston have discovered an inhalable vaccine that can protect rhesus macaque monkeys against severe illness and death when they were exposed to the Ebola virus. Rhesus Macaques are among the most widespread primates after humans and are the monkeys most widely used in biomedical research. Medics in full gear to avoid contracting the virus Findings published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation suggests that the linings of the airways may be an important point of entry for the Ebola virus into the body. Alexander Bukreyev, a professor of virology at the University said the study demonstrates successful aerosol vaccination against a viral hemorrhagic fever for the first time. http://www.levitoday..com/2015/07/inhalable-ebola-vaccine-discovered.html?m=1 |
