A 32-year-old Nigerian man is up to be jailed for life in
Sydney.

According to reports, the unidentified Nigerian man was
arrested on Saturday, October 17, by Sydney authorities
with a haul of highly addictive drug.

Authorities acted on a tip-off which led to the discovery
of three gold-coloured fish statues in the possession of
the Nigerian, with one of the gold-coloured fishes
safely hiding away the illegal package worth
$10million. During interrogation, it was made known
that the drug stash had been imported from China into
Australia but was caught while trying to board a bus
bound for Sydney on Saturday.

The Nigerian man, who got into Australia in July on a
student visa, faces a maximum penalty of life in jail if
he is convicted of attempting to possess a commercial
quantity of an illegal drug. He is due to face the ACT
Magistrates Court today, Monday, October 19. The joint
operation between ACT Policing and the Australian
Federal police began earlier this month, following the
Nigerian’s movements to two addresses before the
statues were opened. A search warrant was conducted
on a property in Kaleen where similar statues and
packaging were found.

In this episode of UpFront,
Mehdi Hasan speaks to
Nigerian President
Muhammadu Buhari about
Boko Haram, alleged abuses
by the Nigerian military and his
leadership of the country.

The Headliner: Nigerian
President Muhammadu Buhari

"We are going to tackle [Boko
Haram] head on ... Nigerians
will not regret that they have
entrusted responsibility to us,"
Nigerian President
Muhammadu Buhari pledged
when he took office in May.

Since then, however, the armed
group has continued to attack
villages in Nigeria, Cameroon
and Chad, prompting the US to
announce this week it will
deploy troops to Cameroon to
aid in the fight.

With a December deadline set
by Buhari to stamp out the
armed group, can the new
leader deliver?

In this week's Headliner,
Hasan speaks to the Nigerian
president about his pledge to
defeat Boko Haram and his
efforts to bring back the
kidnapped Chibok girls.

October of 2013, on the 15th of the month to be precise,
Nigeria was lit up with the Stella Oduah scandal. The so-
named #OduahGate. Our then minister of Aviation under
the Jonathan administration was hounded and eventually
forced out of office for a "scandal" SaharaReporters
broke of her purchasing for N255 million two bullet proof
BMW's that according to PremiumTimes should cost tops,
N128 million. In effect Stella fleeced Nigeria of about
N100 million; that's about $625,000!

We saw all holier than thou activists, newspapers,
bloggers and the like screaming to the high heavens about
Stella's misappropriation. She was called all sorts of
names and eventually she was rightfully kicked out of the
government by a reluctant Jonathan. Indeed this scandal
was one of the main factors that fueled angst against the
Jonathan administration and sent it packing.

Fast forward to now, 15th of October, precisely two years
later. A newly nominated and now confirmed minister, the
former governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Raji Fashola
was accused of misappropriating N139 million ($870,000)
for the dredging of two boreholes , according to Lagos
state government and as contained in all main media
outlets.

The cost of a borehole around the world is
about $1000 [PDF] .

In essence, new minister Fashola's government spent
what could drill give or take, 800 boreholes to drill just
two. Or we may say, his government misappropriated/
looted/coveted $868,000! Over $230,000 more than we
stoned Stella for.

And we just supervised his nomination, confirmation and
as we all observed, those same "activists," those same
media...we have reviewed comments by all the many
names of 100k+ fans and likes popular activists, the same
people that cast the stones at Stella and the common
reaction is, "Fashola slammed it." PremiumTimes gave
him an 8 or 9/10 for performance despite recognizing and
criticizing his lackadaisical response to serious queries of
the gross abuse of the funds by his administration which
in their words he gave an "obfuscated" response to.

Fashola's response to the tribunal was a slight to the
panel and Nigeria as a whole. He put his finger up the
"Change" act's nose. He said, "I am a Lawyer and so I
should not be expected to do the numbers." This was the
height of recklessness and political office-holder
insolence. He further said, "I do not personally sign the
cheques."

Well Stella Oduah does not sign the cheques either.
Diezani never signs the cheques. The response Fashola
gave was elitist, condescending, averse and insultingly
perverse. "I hope my loyalty will not be questioned," he
further said in honesty.

Is this what we are? A nation of hypocrites? Is it about
"loyalty" for all the activists and media that hounded on
Stella but praise and positively appraise Fashola?

Of course the Senate loves him and confirmed him. They
need the likes of him to protect them and their extravagant
ways as well as his and their coterie of cabal: cement,
phone and oil monopolist bed-mates.

So aloof and unabashed of his grievous crime as
executive governor of the state whose reckless spending
was under review, does this not mean that as a new
Minister, millions of dollars / billions of Naira will likewise
be formally looted and a straight-back, raised chin
political-position-dependent Fashola will again tell us
that he does not sign the cheques under his ministry?

I am lost for words. I hope I got something wrong here.
Perhaps he did not spend the acclaimed sum on just two
boreholes. Perhaps it was ultra-efficient, acres cooling
water fountains and farm rigging systems. Perhaps this is
why he brazenly slighted us in response. Hopefully he
knows it is semi illegal for his government to be drilling
boreholes when it should be providing pipe-borne water. I
must be wrong. Of course, If I was wrong, he would/
should have told us the correct thing at the
screening...no? Please correct me if I am right [RO].

$12,500 beds, $450,000 boreholes and $400,000 personal
websites?

I have said enough. 2019 cometh.

Nigeria will make it!

In view of ongoing discussions about how the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is yet
to come to terms on gender balance in his ministerial
list, the Director of Public Awareness, Arc
Development Initiative (ADI) and a representative of
the Voices of Women in Nigeria ( VOWIN ), Hajiya
Suffiya Abubakar spoke to LAOLU ADEYEMI on the
need for the President to strengthen the Office of the
First Lady.

AS a woman ambassador, what is the population
of women in Nigeria?

Nigeria has about 69,086,302 females (women)
according to the 2006 population census. This
population of women constitutes the voices, who gave
overwhelming support to bring President
Muhammadu Buhari to power during the last
Presidential Election. Nigerian women fought tooth
and nail to ensure the right person comes to power.

What inspired your group in this direction and
what is your interest?

I am speaking for women generally. My group
represents the voices of the concerned women in
Nigeria. We have decided to speak for change. The
current change we witnessed in government was as a
result of the yearnings of citizens for change. And we
are indeed happy that the change is here.

As women, we were particularly inspired by the
strength of character, beauty of heart and
intelligence of the President’s wife, Hajia Aisha
Buhari during the campaigns and thereafter.
We had, therefore, hoped that given her pedigree of
respect for all, education and compassion for the
plight of women and children, this administration
would do the women of Nigeria and indeed women
and children of Africa a great amount of good by
giving her an opportunity to function as First Lady of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But now, that is yet
to happen. Nigerian women in particular and Africa
in general, are unhappy because the president is yet
to recognise the office of the First Lady.

But there is no constitutional basis for the
creation of first lady office…

We acknowledge that there is no constitutional
provision for the existence of such an office, but we
also know that necessity, which brought about the
creation and existence of such an office in the past
has helped in no small measure to augment the
activities of the Federal Government, particularly in
the areas where women, children and disadvantaged
citizens are concerned.

Apart from her several donations of food items,
medicines, toiletries and other valuables worth
millions of naira to Internally Displaced Persons (IDP)
camps and orphanages in various parts of the
country, Hajiya Buhari has carried out many life-
saving health intervention programmes, especially in
the screening and prevention of the deadly cancer
disease. She had so far carried out the screening of
over 10,000 people in about five states within one
year.

For instance, 2000 women benefitted from her cancer
screening and general health assessment programme
in Cross River state. Similarly, in Yola, Adamawa
state, where the First Lady hails from, another 2,000
women were screened of cervical cancer in addition
to testing for other health conditions like blood
pressure, diabetics, hepatitis, kidney, liver and dental
examination.

In Enugu, more than 2,000 women also benefitted
from her cancer screening programme and medical
examination for other disease conditions earlier
enumerated. These various humanitarian gestures
came under her Women Health Initiative
Programme.
In a concerted effort to garner international support
for her Health Intervention Programme, Hajiya
Buhari unveiled her vision and mission for Nigerian
women and children in one of United Nations side
events in New York, titled, “Future Assured” held
on August 30, 2015.

Of what value is the office of the First Lady?

There is no doubt that the First Lady will do more
for millions of Nigerian women and children if her
office is given a constitutional role and strengthened
with the needed funding support and legal
framework. It is pertinent to note the following
points: The United Nations, development partners and
donor agencies recognise the roles of First Ladies in
the past and have collaborated with them on their
pet projects. The benefits of these pet projects are too
obvious and numerous to mention.

The presence of our First Lady in a gathering as
important as the just concluded UN Summit would
have created an additional opportunity for
networking and building relationship between
Nigeria and other countries of the world. Also, the
African First Ladies Peace Initiative is no doubt, a
laudable initiative. Nigeria can’t afford to be left out
of this humane effort.

So what are your expectations of President Buhari
in this instance?

As a representative of VOWIN, I am pleading with
Mr. President and other leaders that have served this
country to urgently intervene to allow the office of
the First Lady function. The advantages obviously
outweigh the disadvantages.

The Court of Appeal, Abuja division will on
October 19 deliver judgment in an appeal
brought against the federal government by
the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki,
challenging the legality of his trial at the
Code of Conduct Tribunal over alleged false
assets declaration.

The appellate court fixed the date yesterday
after taking final brief of arguments from
counsels to parties in the suit.
Justice Moore Adumein , who led two other
justices to hear the case announced that the
verdict would be handed down by 2pm.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar
Association (NBA) Mr. Joseph Daudu led
five other Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN)
comprising Malam Yusuf Ali, Mr. Ahmed
Raji, Adebayo Adelodun, Mahmud Magaji
and Kayode Eleja to argue the case for the
senate President.

In his argument, Daudu raised five major
issues for the court to determine the legality
of trial of Senator Saraki at the code of
conduct tribunal. Among others, the
appellant counsel argued that the code of
conduct tribunal erred in law by proceeding
with the trial with two members instead of
mandatory three as provided by the
constitution.

He informed the court that composition of
the tribunal during the trial of Saraki
violated paragraphs 15(1) of the 1999
constitution by seating with two members
instead of three and asked the court to
nullify the CCT proceedings of last month
due to lack of quorum.

The appellant counsel disagreed with the
arguments of the federal government
counsel Mr. Rotimi Jacobs SAN that the
Interpretation Act can be used to resolve the
constitutional logjam since the constitution
was silent on the quorum for the tribunal
membership.

Daudu insisted that the Interpretation Act
cannot override the constitution been the
supreme law and the Act being inferior to
the constitution.

“To ask that the Act of Interpretation be
used to override constitutional provision is
wrong and unheard off. That itself will
amount to product of mis-interpretation
because constitution is the supreme law
and not an Act”.

One of Nigeria’s most remembered leaders, 37-year- old Murtala Muhammed, was killed on February 13, 39 years ago, in an abortive coup attempt led by Lt. Col Buka Suka Dimka.
Many years have passed, but the nation still remembers its great leader.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan via his Facebook page spoke about Murtala: “Today marks the 39th anniversary of the death of that great Nigerian hero, Murtala Mohammed, who gave his life for this great nation. In his lifetime he espoused the belief that Nigeria had come of age and is ready to play her rightful role as the leader of the Black Race and a hub for progressive government on the African continent. Thankfully, Nigeria has immortalized Murtala’s legacy in books and monuments and will continue to do so such that our youth can learn from his life of purpose and commitment to higher ideals. May his soul continue to rest in peace and may God continue to comfort his family as a grateful nation remembers his sacrifice .”
For many Nigerians, getting to know Murtala Mohammed was from the green, crispy N20 naira note, which had its face inscribed on it, and really clear- headed stories told by parents. We gathered for some must-know facts you need to know about hero of Nigeria’s nation.
1. Born on a Tuesday, the 8th of November, 1938, in the Kurawa Quarters of Kano State to Risqua Muhammed and Uwani Ramatu, he had 7 siblings (one girl and seven boys) and he was the second child.
2. On the 26th January, 1952, he was admitted as student number 941 as the school itself was founded in 1909. He was one of the ten students from Kano and finished in 1957. One of his classmates was the late General Mohammed Shuwa shot dead at his home by gunmen in Maiduguri in November 2012. Shuwa was one of the prominent figures during the Nigerian Civil War and later a leading figure in Murtala’s government. Gowon also attended the same college.
3. He attended Regular Officers Special Training School , ROSTS (Teshie, Ghana), now Ghana Military Academy where he was taught as a 2nd Lieutenant infantry tactics and military laws by the late Odumegwu Ojukwu. Obasanjo and Gowon also attended ROSTS.
4. Murtala might be a strong-headed soldier but he was an amazing family man. In 2006, his Yoruba wife (with partly Fulani roots), Mrs. Hafsat Ajoke Muhammed recollects the fond memories: “At home and at work, my husband was one and the same person. His behaviour at work and home were the same. He was a firm person, upright and had a great sense of humour.”
5. He was introduced to his wife by his cousin. They fell in love, hit it off, and when they met in Kaduna later, he proposed to her and they got married in Kaduna in 1963 after her studies, the same year he became a Captain. Their marriage was a blissful and peaceful one. In 1965, the marriage was blessed with a cheeky baby girl who later attended the Queen’s College, Yaba, Lagos.
6. At the time when Murtala was killed, his daughter, Zalihatu was just two years old, and Jumai was just a baby.
7. When Murtala was killed and the news was relayed to his wife, she broke down and wept for her dear husband.
8. Today, Mrs. Ajoke Muhammed is ageing gracefully, is widely respected for her charitable activities and calm demeanor. Even as a First Lady, she was not unnecessarily flamboyant. Her marriage was blessed with six children: Aishat, Fatimah, Zakari, Risqua Abba, Zalihatu, Jumai (she was just a baby, less than a year old when her father was killed). The daughters are now married.
9. By the end of 1964, Murtala was already a temporary Major (known as a T/Major).
10. The Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970) lasted for thirty blood-soaked months and one of the principal actors of that sad phase of Nigerian history was Murtala.
11. On the evening of the 30th of July 1975, Murtala made his maiden speech to the nation as the Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
12. He set up a panel headed by Justice Ayo Irikefe on the creation of seven more states (Niger, Bauchi, Gongola, Benue, Ogun, Imo and Bendel) to the 12 existing ones on 22nd December, 1975. The panel came up with a report which was utilized in the formation of new states in 1976.
13. Murtala was a blunt, outspoken and consummate risk taker. A soldier who ironically had no regard for the chain of command, he was in a class of his own when it came to dangerous exploits. A no-nonsense person, Murtala was known for his legendary outbursts of terrifying anger.

Earlier today APC National Leader Bola Tinubu released a
statement denying reports that he was working with Saraki
to frustrate the screening of president Buhari's ministerial
nominees. Senate President Bukola Saraki has now
released a statement reacting to Tinubu's statement. Read
below ..

I saw the statement said to be issued by Senator
Bola Ahmed Tinubu over a story published by The
Sun newspapers. I have decided not to join issues
with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. However, I know
that most Nigerians are aware that there has been
no meeting or communication between me and
Asiwaju Tinubu since I was elected Senate
President. Therefore, I do not see any basis for a
newspaper to report that we are both plotting to
oppose the President.
I recognize Tinubu as one of the leaders of the APC
who contributed so much to the victory of the party
in the last election. Some other people also
contributed and I believe the collective efforts made
it possible for the first time in the history of our
party for an opposition party to win the general
elections, Let me state clearly that I remain a
committed member of the APC and will do all in my
power to ensure the party fulfill its promises to
bring positive changes into the country.

Since my election as Senate President, my focus
and efforts have been devoted to doing the job that I
was elected to do by my constituents and my
colleagues in the Senate. Twice, my colleagues
have confirmed their support for me as the primus
inter pares in the Senate. As I said in my speech
when we resumed from our recess late September
and in Ikenne yesterday, the screening of ministerial
nominees will be handled by me and my colleagues
with all sense of responsibility and in adherence to
the provision of the constitution. We will be fair to
all and be guided by the interest of Nigeria.

The screening will be devoid of sentiment and it is
not an opportunity for anybody to settle scores. We
are equally eager for us to make a positive
difference in our polity and Nigerians will be able to
judge us whether we acted in their best interest or
not.

Someone else's thread

don't be stupid...better watch ur mouth

This ‘letter’ has two purposes: To Warn and to Advice.
The Warning Part
A friend once told me of how a guy was pestering her life with all manner of suggestive texts and suspicious gestures, trying to FORCE her into an unscrupulous relationship. I was pissed because my dear was being threatened and more pissed because he was ignorantly stubborn hoping he could date someone like my friend- who’s got morals. Some guys of today, go around with the malicious mindset that the size of their m*****d can substitute the size of their “mindhood”. Simply put: Don’t build your life around No girl- It’s not worth it. Build around a worthy goal and all these other things shall be added unto you It’s plain illiteracy to go after a girl that way!
The Advice Part
This is like the body of this thread; REASONS YOU SHOULD NEVER FORCE YOURSELF ON ANY GIRL, in view of a relationship.
Quickly, let’s see a few:
1. All ladies are the same I’m not on the contrary… You see, it beats my imagination how guys move from one girl to another, does she have a different ‘privy part’ from the other girl? Because, that’s the major reasons guys cheat. Don’t FORCE yourself on any girl because there is so much more than meets the eye, so carefully take note of the nuances and unspoken words, body movements and gestures. Break Up is an unnecessary evil.
2. We are told to Approach and not to Encroach In my little time around ladies, whether friends or crushes; I’ve discovered that you could actually be encroaching thinking you are approaching. Before getting too involved, be sure it’s not in vain. “Years Of Friendzoning Makes A Guy Look Like He’s Been Duped” Approach her if you like her. When you discover her heart is elsewhere, dump her.
3. Girls Need Guys More Than Guys Need Them Am I quoting Scriptures here? Before someone calls me a chauvinist, the Bible spoke about, in the ET, it will be seven ladies to just one guy. Take it or leave it, girls wish they could ask guys out . For many reasons; Protection, Financial assistance, Warmth, Leadership, Companionship etc. Guys, don’t FORCE yourself on any lady, whosoever please.
4. It Sends The Wrong Signal Trying to get her to like you in a short period of time sends the opposite message. Good intention, yea, but it sends a “Desperate Call” to her. Not FORCING yourself on any accords you some form of honour and avoid insults too.
5. The “You Forced Me Into This Relationship” Speech May Surface. If you didn’t understand the rest points, at least grasp this point, don’t FORCE a girl into your life and family. If you FORCE her to come, you’ll do same to get her to stay. Fine or Average-looking, they’re the same; same sexual parts! In fact, let her make the choice of choosing you without any coercion from anyone. Forcing a girl into a relationship with you is plain stupidity. Who says you can’t approach? You can but don’t use the law of Force saying, “If I don’t have you, I’ll die”— Lielie, is your name Laila? To me, state your aim for getting close to her, watch her reaction for days. React based on those figures.

Yoruba actress, Liz Anjorin has fired back at reports she is now broke ,allegedly closed down her shop, sold off her cars and is now sellingnlocal gin popularly called paraga.. In an interview with Punch,she said “I have three solid cars. I drive an Envogue, a Chrysler and an Xterra. I am even about buying the fourth car. How would anybody think I am broke? I am almost tempted to curse all those peddling this rumour about me. They are just crazy people. “I don’t have a paraga shop. I don’t know where they got the story from. Of all the actresses that have clothing business, just three dresses from my shop would just be equal to the amount they spent on their shops. My shop is worth well over N80m. Can any paraga seller afford the things I wear? I don’t want to brag but people should respect themselves. “I think an enemy of progress is spreading this news. Anybody who doesn’t like me should go and hug a transformer. I just shot a soap recently; I also released a video. If I am broke, would I be spending millions on these projects? “I have never borrowed money from anybody. I am living large, I live at Ikoyi. I was the first Yoruba actress to have lived at Lekki Phase One (Lagos). I am the first to have a shop. On top of it all, I am a very pretty girl, I can never be poor. Even without me working, I can never be poor. I can only be broke if there is no God,” she said.

Some Nigerians are funny, they say they expected President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint technocrats as Ministers. But the question to ask is, who is a Technocrat? A man or woman who has been schooled in a particular field, example Professor, Lawyer, Doctor, Engineer, Administrator, etc. Now to the matter; the likes of Babatunde Fashola, Rotimi Amaechi, Udoma Udo Udoma, Dambazzau, etc are all technocrats in their various fields of study and they worked for the victory of their party. So, any Technocrat who is just sitting at home and waiting for appointment is dreaming. You must come out and participate in politics, contribute money to your party, then you can be considered serious. Below is how some Nigerians are reacting to #TheLIST of Ministers: According to Punch, protests at state levels greeted the announcement of President Buhari’s ministerial list by the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki on Tuesday. From the Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders came a petition to the Senate against the nomination of a former Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola. CACOL’s petition had been dated Saturday, October 3, asking the Senate not to confirm Fashola “should his name pop-up as a ministerial nominee.” Also, a gang known as Integrity Group has petitioned the President and Senate to protest the nomination of a former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, as a ministerial nominee. Funny enough, none of these groups have filed a case in court against the men they are accusing. In Oyo State, the ruling APC asked on Buhari to revisit his nomination of a legal practitioner, Adebayo Shittu, claiming that the ministerial-nominee was not a team player in the party. Senators react Senator Jeremiah Useni, in an interview with journalists, said having only three women on the ministerial list was not good enough. “I wish to see more women on the list. I believe that the President will be more gender sensitive in the next batch since he said the 21 names he sent is a partial list,” he said. ‘Buhari never told me I would be minister’ Former Governor of Ekiti State, who is one of the ministerial nominees, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has described his nomination as a surprise. “He did not tell anyone to the best of my knowledge and I would have thought that I was in vantage position to know more than others, I was with him for five days before then. I was with him in New York at the United Nations General Assembly and he never uttered a word about his list to me nor to anyone else. “We came back to Nigeria together, I was with him up till 4pm on the evening he submitted the list to the President of the Senate and I didn’t have any clue of what is going to happen. So, to that extent, I was pleasantly surprised.” Another Ekiti ex-governor, Segun Oni, said Buhari had proved to all that he was not only a statesman but also a loyal party man. He said, “The President is a party member and his thinking is always along with the party and he has always been saying so. “You will know that the President, on his own, knows the party and he wants to involve the party as much as possible and he has done that. No one can complain now because you will see that the leaders that we will want to see are there and we are very grateful to the President.”

You realise that your words mean little or nothing to your
friends, family and colleagues. This situation can be
frustrating for you especially when the issue you want to
address is extremely important.
While this could be unfair, it may be that the problem lies
solely with you. According to All Women Stalk , here are
reasons why nobody listens to you when you speak.

1. Being a mr-know-all: You love to give advice, but you
hardly take or listen to other people’s advice. In case you
haven’t noticed, nobody likes a know-it-all. Learn to
respect people’s opinions and quit thinking you are smarter
than everyone else

2. Being a talkative: People would actually get tired if you
talk all the time about nothing in particular. You give people
the impression that you love to hear the sound of your own
voice.

3. You grumble a lot: Negative vibes turn people off and
complaining is one of the best ways to spread negativity.
When you constantly bug people like you’re the only one
experiencing problems, people will pull away from you
quickly and you’ll lose friends fast.

4. No one trusts or believes you: People will stop listening
to you talking when they believe that your word can’t be
trusted. They feel you taint the truth with lies which is
actually a serious issue. Your reputation is at stake which
means you have a lot of work to do in redeeming yourself.

5. You never listen to anyone: You only receive what you
give. You expect to get people’s ears when you can’t listen
to simple advice that come from them. Pay more attention
to people you relate with, listen more than you speak and
you’ll complain less of people ignoring you

Facts have emerged on why President Muhammadu Buhari would rather speak with the foreign media instead of their Nigerian counterparts. This much was revealed by the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Femi Adesina during a radio programme in Abuja on Monday, October 5, 2015. The Nigerian president had been blasted from different sections for ignoring the local media when they needed to ask him questions on pressing issues, but always finds it much easier to speak with journalists when he travels out of the country. But according to Nigerian Bulletin, Adesina emphasised that the world is a global village, therefore it does not matter where the president addresses the media; whether local or international. Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, speaks the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit to the at the United Nations General Assembly im New York September 25, 2015. AFP PHOTO / TIMOTHY A. CLARY (Photo credit should read TIMOTHY A. CLARY/AFP/Getty Images)
He said: “When he (Buhari) goes abroad we always schedule the international media to have an engagement with him. That may not always be easy when he is at home because he has so many things to attend to. “But we make it a point of duty that every trip abroad, we schedule the international media to speak with him and that is why in France, in New York, in South Africa, wherever he has gone, he will always speak with the media and of course because the world is a global village. “It sort of pays us to say the world is a global village when we like and when we don’t like we criticize it. But that the world is a global village, we accept. “Wherever he (the President) says it does not matter; all that matters is that he has said it. The truth is that, whatever he says gets back to us in Nigeria. So does it matter where he says it?
“You know that in the past four months, he had been doing the work; trying to reset the foundation for a lot of things. As ministers come, you know there will be more devolvement and some of those things he had being doing personally, ministers will begin to do. “He will then have freer time with which to take on the media here in Nigeria. He has been very very busy. The Media Chat will resume soon. You can be sure that when that Media Chat resumes, it is going to be free.” Meanwhile, the Nigerian president recently visited the wards of those involved in the Abuja bomb blasts and even ordered the immediate payment of a girl’s bill after the mother explained to the president that she was shot by armed robbers .

The holidays are great time to nuzzle up to your loved ones under a blanket and watch movies, and somehow I got conned into watching this one. Worse yet, it’s becoming one of those cla$$ic ‘Christmas’ movies even though it’s absolute trash. I usually hesitate to make overt claims about anything within the realms of the ‘arts,’ but the amount of praise this movie gets is the straw the broke the camel’s back:

1. It’s Pretentious


The movie starts with a depiction of 9/11 and then says something like “despite all this, I see love all around. If you look carefully, you might see it, too.” I almost turned the movie off in the first 30 seconds. This sad excuse for a writer, Richard Curtis, starts preaching in the first minute and says he’s going to tell me what love is? Go F**k yourself, Richard. Don’t tell me what love is. This guy really thinks that he’s going to offer an accurate portrayal of the most intangible concept of all time? Thousands of songs, books, artists and other people who don’t breathe the fecal fumes of their own a$$hole have given their subjective portrayal of what they believe ‘love’ is, but Richard’s gonna come right out of the gates saying, “Nah, this is it.”

2. It’s Hyper-Unrealistic


There’s eight characters ‘falling in love’ in this cluttered manifesto of Alzheimer’s affect on writing. There’s one character, an unhappy writer, who falls in love with his servant who doesn’t speak English. I sh*t you not, there’s about three one-minute scenes before we’re supposed to accept they’re meant for each other; here’s how they go: 

guy spills coffee, girl starts to clean, guy helps her clean and bumps into her, they stare at each other awkwardly, guy kicks himself for being awkward.

The girl is way out of this guy’s league, which explains his awkwardness, but Richard’s basically copping out of having to write any actual bonding. You know, the stuff that happens when two people get to know each other? This is how all eight characters fall in ‘love,’ through awkward moments. All the while our old pal Richard’s just saying, “See, love at first sight. F**k sharing each other’s lives and common interests.”

3. It’s Not Love


This is surface-level attraction and lust. Sometimes that’s a good starting point, but lets revisit this frustrated writer with the super hot servant. This guy is unhappy, depressed, and anxious. In one of the terrible scenes, his papers fly into a pond and the servant takes off her top, nudges out of her skirt, and dives in after them. The writer feels bad and jumps in after her. Ooh, what a moment, right? Wrong.

This is that cliché, ‘Guy can’t get out of his head then girl makes him do something risky that makes him feel alive’ – moment. She is his drug. She is what he thinks was missing in his life – why he was unhappy. He will use her until he’s unhappy again then discard her because he thinks she’s why he’s unhappy. Richard’s saying ‘love’ is that thing that temporarily glosses over our insecurities, and I think he should go to hell for it.

4. It’s Immor*l


There’s another character who was in charge of filming his best friend’s wedding, but ended up only filming his best friend’s fiancée because he was in ‘love’ with her. Then he visits her, confesses his love, and she runs into the street and kisses him. Firstly, F**k that guy for being a terrible best friend. I get it; Richard’s trying to say, “love is complicated and unpredictable blah blah,” but come on. Really? You’re going to betray your friend’s trust because you lack self-control? Yeah, your friend has a hot wife, just because you also think she’s hot doesn’t mean you’re in love with her. Imagine how awkward it’s going to be the next time he’s over at his best friends house.


5. It’s Worse Than Cosmo


It really is. Cosmo is terrible because it preys on our insecurities and purports people’s opinions as valuable relationship advice. It’s worse than Cosmo because people actually watch this sh*t and think it’s true, then go through life waiting to spill coffee and have an awkward exchange, film their best friend’s wedding and jack-off to his wife, or something else as ridiculous or Disgust*ng.

I know what you’re thinking, “Dude, it’s a movie, it’s not real.” I know that, thank you. But if you’re starting a movie and telling me it’ll be about ‘love,’ fiction or otherwise, it should contain some realistic elements of chemistry and not this cliché, superficial awkwardness. 

In my opinion, people should connect on something other than infatuation and awkwardness if they’re going to jump to the conclusion it’s ‘love’. It might actually require a conscious effort. It might make you feel complete, but I think you need to love yourself before you can love someone else. Either way, this movie blows.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa did not make the cut for Spain’s squad, while Celta Vigo’s Nolito made the cut for the European qualifiers. Costa, who has not made much of an impact for Chelsea this season will miss the matches against Luxembourg and Ukraine. Del Bosque has pointed out Costa’s one match suspension as the reason the Chelsea man was not included. “We’ll count with Costa in the future, but he is banned for one match,” Del Bosque said. Morata has been called up to replace Costa, while Iniesta and Vitolo miss out due to injury. And Del Bosque explains he left out Koke, so as not to aggravate his injury problems. “We hope Sergio Ramos to be in the best form. If not, we’ll look for solutions. Koke is not yet totally fine, we didn’t call him for security reasons,” the former Real Madrid manager added. Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Porto), David De Gea (Manchester United), Sergio Rico (Sevilla). Defenders: Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid), Gerard Pique (Barcelona), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Jordi Alba (Barcelona), Juanfran (Atletico Madrid), Marc Bartra (Barcelona), Iñigo Martínez (Athletic), Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea). Midfielders: Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Bruno (Villarreal), Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea), Isco (Real Madrid), Santi Cazorla (Arsenal), Thiago (Bayern Munich), Juan Mata (Manchester United). Forwards: Nolito (Celta Vigo), Pedro (Chelsea), Alvaro Morata (Juventus), David Silva (Manchester City) and Paco Alcacer (Valencia).

Don’t be surprised if I start choking and panting out of the blue, because my heart skips a beat and I miss a breath every time I see you. I like you.



9) I went to the doctor because my heart was beating in a way that was weird and funny. The doctor told me that there was no need for any medicine and no cause for worry. All he asked me to do was stop pretending and be true – which is why today I confess that I like you.

22) I don’t care what Einstein says, I don’t believe in gravity because thinking about you makes me feel like I’m flying. I like you.



23) I can’t dream even if I want to, because thinking about you all night makes me sleepless and trippy. I can’t cry even if I feel sad or gloomy, because crushing on you always keeps me happy. I think you have got the gist, of what I’m trying to say. If you go out on a date with me, it will make my day.



24) In the five stages that include meeting, crushing, liking, loving and obsessing, I am on stage number three. To be able to proceed to stage number four and five, I will need you to join me.

26) I don’t need a coffee to start my day with a bang. I just need to look at your smile. I like you.

29) I love saying hello to you because I say it when I see you. I hate saying goodbye to you because I say it when I am going away from you. I like you.



30) I am a very shy and introvert guy, so I could not muster to send this message to you. But my heart is bold and outspoken, so it wants to convey that I like you.

31) Your heart is the only WiFi that I want to connect to… I like you.



32) The days on which you like my pictures on Facebook, retweet my tweets or reply to my Snapchats are my best days in the week. I like you.



33) I have tried again and again but I have miserably failed. I finally concede defeat because I have not been successful at being just friends with you. I like you.



34) The earth is round. I am a boy. Water is made from hydrogen and oxygen. You are a girl. Humans need air to survive. I have a crush on you. The sun rises every morning. I like you. These are all non-debatable facts.



35) I have tried to convince my heart many times but it is not listening to me. Maybe you can come and convince it to stop beating so fast every time I look at you. I like you.



36) I have run out of fake excuses to meet you, call you in the middle of the night and send you texts all the time. So today let me just confess that I have a massive crush on you and I want you to be mine.



37) Everyone knows it, including my best friends, my colleagues and even some of your friends. So I thought you should know it too – I like you.



38) Only you can make a plain white t-shirt and black leggings look sexy, heavenly and angelic. I like you girl.



39) Why do I like you? Even if the sky became my canvas, it will not be big enough for me to pen down every reason. So let me just cut the story short and say that you are my number one.
