President Joe Biden used the 10th anniversary of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden — “a moment I will never forget” — to reaffirm his decision to remove all US troops from Afghanistan.

“We followed bin Laden to the gates of hell — and we got him,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House.

“We kept the promise to all those who lost loved ones on 9/11: that we would never forget those we had lost, and that the United States will never waver in our commitment to prevent another attack on our homeland.”

Biden, who announced last month that he would end Washington’s longest war by September 11, praised then-president Barack Obama for his 2011 decision to approve the secret operation targeting the al-Qaeda leader, and praised the special forces who carried it out in Pakistan.

Watching the operation remotely from a crowded White House Situation Room, Biden said, was “a moment I will never forget — the intelligence professionals who had painstakingly tracked him down; the clarity and conviction of President Obama in making the call; the courage and skill of our team on the ground.”

Now, as the US begins pulling the last of its troops from Afghanistan, Biden said: “Al Qaeda is greatly degraded there. But the United States will remain vigilant about the threat from terrorist groups that have metastasized around the world.

“We will continue to monitor and disrupt any threat to us that emerges from Afghanistan. And we will work to counter terrorist threats to our homeland and our interests in cooperation with allies and partners around the world.”

The Department of State Services has knocked those calling for the resignation of the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), over his failure to address the festering security crisis in the country.

It described the critics as misguided elements and accused them of threatening the government, sovereignty, and corporate existence of the country.

Notable Nigerians had flayed the President over his failure to curb the security crisis particularly, the Boko Haram insurgency, kidnapping, and banditry across the country.

Also, Buhari’s erstwhile supporter, the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Rev Fr. Ejike Mbaka had called on the National Assembly to impeach the President for incompetency if he failed to resign.

But reacting to the avalanche of attacks on the President, the DSS spokesman, Dr Peter Afunanya, said the main objective for the calls was the disintegration of the country.

In a statement on Sunday titled, “DSS supports indivisible, united Nigeria, warns against unsavoury, inciting utterances,’ the secret service said it has noted, “their desperation and penchant to collaborate with external forces and influences against Nigeria.”

The secret police stated, “The Department of State Services hereby condemns the unsavoury statements by misguided elements who have continued to threaten the government, sovereignty and corporate existence of this country.

“Notable are the unnecessary vituperations and activities of some religious and past political leaders who have either called for a forceful change of government or mass action against it.

“It has been established that the main objective for these is to cause a disintegration of the country.

“It is unfortunate that those in the forefront of this are respectable individuals who should be patriotic and not allow their personal ambitions to ruin the nation. The Service has also noted their desperation and penchant to collaborate with external forces and influences against Nigeria.”

Afunanya reminded the individuals that “even though democracy offers free speech, it does not give room to reckless pronouncements capable of undermining security.”

The agency noted that the ballot box remained the vehicle of change in a democracy and warned “self-centred individuals and groups” to stop engaging in acts inimical to the peace and sovereignty of this nation.

In the same manner, it admonished influential personalities to be sensitive to the emerging situations and guard against divisive and inciting utterances that may cause a breakdown of law and order.

“Recently, the Service invited and cautioned some persons who deniably recounted their earlier statements or said they were quoted out of context. The public should be wary of such individuals and their co-travellers who, incite them in the open but turn in the secret to retrieve their words after they had caused the damage,” the statement said.

While reaffirming its support to “an indivisible, indissoluble and united Nigerian State in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution,” the DSS said it will “no longer tolerate deliberate machinations by subversive and hostile groups whose agenda is to throw the country into anarchy so as to serve the interests of their sponsors.”

The service said it was working with other security and law enforcement agencies to ensure the maintenance of peace and internal security of the country.

The Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission has granted approval for the Extraordinary Tariff Review applications, Performance Improvement Plan, and Capital Expenditure for electricity distribution companies.

It disclosed this on Sunday in the NERC Order on Performance Improvement Plan and Extraordinary Tariff Review applications for power distributors operating in Nigeria.

The commission said the PIP and Capital Expenditure programme shall take effect from July 1, 2021 and shall remain effective until June 30, 2026.

It explained that the Discos had applied to the commission for a review of the provisions for Capital expenditure their various Multi-Year Tariff Order tariffs to support the implementation of their improvement plans over the next five years.

The regulator noted that under the Power Sector Recovery Programme, it was envisaged that the commission would implement a robust tariff review process aiming at improving performance in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry.

“This process involved a review of CAPEX allowances in MYTO model compliance with PIPs of the Discos,” it said.

The NERC stated that the approved improvement plan and extraordinary tariff application shall form the basis for Discos to prioritise the implementation of their proposed capital expenditure initiatives.

It noted that the approved improvement plans shall also form the basis for defining key performance index for the Discos over the five-year period.

Firstly, I hail u iya ejima. More strength to u. It's a bit late for an 8 months old to sit unassisted but every kid grow at their own pace. U have to keep encouraging them to sit. They will measure up to their milestones with constant trials. Mine sat unassisted from 4 months. Although she still falls sometimes. She gets better daily. As for eating, u keep introducing new foods to them to encourage them. What I learned is to not give up. If it's the pap he likes, continue but keep trying other ones. The way this girl looks eat me while I eat is scary. With unbreakable stare.

Thanks ma'am.

Good morning house. I want to buy a 1.8kva generator. Can it power a plasma TV, 40W home theater and bedside freezer(power input is 80W).

Also between senwei and sumec firman which should I go for?

Sumec please. But buy from accredited sources. And make sure the brand name is crested all over the generator.

Don't try Senwei o.

My name is Doyinsola Akin- Fasae. I am a 30 year old Sickle Cell Disease Patient with bilateral peri-prosthetic infections and severe hip pains following a hip joint replacement.

I had the bilateral Hip replacement in 2016 after which I could not firther my education. My family was able to raise money from selling properties and getting loans for the surgery at that time. Unfortunately, I have been unable to walk well since then constantly in pains and not able to care for myself after the surgery. The pain keeps getting worse despite the huge medication expenses every week.

At present, I'm being managed for staged reconstructive surgery at ABUAD Multi system hospital . This will involve the initial removal of my current implants, extensive excessive debridement and insertion of antibiotic spacers at the first stage, then will be monitored for resolution, following which I will have bilateral complex hip joint reconstructive at the second stage .

I live in excruciating pains everyday. My surgery procedure will start as soon as I'm able to raise the funds needed.

No amount is too small to support me getting back on my feet again. I will appreciate your donations towards helping me walk again!!

This gofund me was created by my sister that lives in LA to help me reach my goal faster .

Please Help me walk again !!!!

1 Samuel 12:6 Voice
Samuel: The Eternal One is our witness, the One who first raised Moses and Aaron to be leaders of the people, the One who brought your ancestors here out of the oppression of Egypt.

For pranksters and mischievous older siblings all around the world, April Fools’ Day, also called All Fools’ Day, is as eagerly anticipated as Christmas.

After all, what other holiday encourages you to think up practical jokes and fool’s errands, from swapping your spouse’s keys to tricking your friend into thinking their car got towed? (Not cool, Steve.)

But how did this odd, prank-centric holiday come to be celebrated in the first place, and why is it called April Fools’ Day?

Where did April Fools’ Day come from?
The true origins of April Fools’ Day remain unknown and are probably lost to history, but theories abound, of course.

One story goes that April Fools’ Day began with France’s 1564 Edict of Roussillon, which decreed that New Year’s Day, historically observed on Easter by Christians, was moved to January 1. Easter is a movable, lunar-based date but often falls in April, so it’s said that early adopters dubbed people celebrating the old New Year “April fools.”

Good one, guys.

Another theory suggests that April 1st became the fool’s holiday due to Geoffrey Chaucer’s 14th century collection, The Canterbury Tales, wherein Chaucer includes a playful reference to “32 March,” or April 1st. However, most scholars consider it to have been a mere copying error.

The holiday also shares some striking similarities to some ancient antecedents, though. The ancient Roman festival, Hilaria, was also a joyful, springtime festival held on or around March 25. Yes, the word hilarious is, aptly enough, related.

Another analog is Holi, a Hindu spring festival celebrated in late March during which people can forgive and forget past faults by throwing colored powder and water on one another.

Been long I came here.

I don't think those elepaq '4.5'kva gen they sell in jumia are good. First they are not 4.5, just 2.5kva. The guys at Blenco Supermarket showed me the differences.

Secondly the image is not clear enough to know if they're original. I went to alaba last month and original is from 120k, at ebute meta, it's from 120-125k
You need to physically see the gen you are buying. Don't buy those short coil types, buy the long coil and make sure elapaq or constant is inscribed(not pasted o) on the fuel tank, engine block and other places. The jumia advert does not show a these

You're right. Elepaq must be crested all over the body. Bought my 4.5kva for #130k in December here in Abuja.

Slammmmmmmm:
Guys I need the best recommendation on a lutian 3.5kva lt3600 or a constant elepaq 2.5kva.

Happy Sunday and mother's day

Typically a generator, which has a 2.5 kVA generator capacity would be able to support a TV of 100 Watts, a Refrigerator of 200 Watts, two electric fans, each of 160 Watts, and much more. The total would be somewhere near 2400 Watts.

Holadpearl:
Hello
Kindly help confirm if it's ok to buy a second hand gen Senwei eco 3200s for 38000. It has only be serviced once.
Are Senwei good products?

Personally, senwei products are a No No. They have proven not to be reliable.



The Elepaq Constant generator, are more reliable / stronger than the Senwei generator, because of its power of carrying large appliance like Air-Condition, freezer etc. While the Senwei are not stronger like the Elepaq Constant. The Senwei are made for powering your TV, bulbs and fans.

Masterdazhem:
Gptech what's your take on the elepaq 4.5kva Sv8E500E2 or can you suggest any 4.5kva my budget is 130-140k

The gen is OK. But don't go for senwei. Go for the original Elepaq Constant. Make sure constant is crested on the fuel tank and other parts.

A middle-aged man who allegedly confessed to be a serial rapist with mystical powers to unlock any door of his victims has been nabbed via community policing in Obrigbene Quarters in Bomadi, headquarters of Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State.

The alleged rapist who hails from Ojobo Community, but reside at Obrigbene Quarters has confessed that he has mystical powers to open any door no matter how secured it is to rape his victim.

The alleged rapist who stuttered to identify himself as Zilakumor was caught in front of his colleague’s house around 2am on Monday, February 8.

Witnesses said he was planning to rape his colleague’s wife.

He said that this was not the first time he had made love to his friend’s wife unknown to her husband.

According to witnesses, the self-confessed rapist claimed that at the first occasion he had an affair with his friend’s wife, the door was locked but that he magically entered the house and had his way with his victim after he put the husband under spell.

He said he has been doing this even in his Ojobo Community before he was ostracized.

His colleague, who work with him said he was surprised to see his door opened and his wife not having knowledge of what was happening or had happened.

Eyewitnesses claimed that “to convince the people that he can open any door with mystical power, the padlock that was used to lock him unlocked itself twice.

A lady who craved anonymity said “we know this man and he has been carrying out such act but every time he is caught people will plead for mercy”.

They also claimed that he has power to sleep with a woman even when the husband is around as he hypnotised him until he finished his sex escapade and left the scene.

At the time of filing this report, the suspect has not been handed over to the Divisional Headquarters of Police in Bomadi.

President Buhari’s aide Sabiu Tunde Yusuf, has debunked reports that he has been appointed an assistant director at the National Intelligence Agency(NIA).

“It is not true. It is not true at all”, he swore to P.M.News on phone.

Yusuf said he got to know about the fake news today when people began to congratulate him for a new job.

For a while, he did not know what informed the flood of congratulations.

“How could I have been appointed into NIA, an institution that works under cover?”, he said.

Yusuf said people writing the story need to be educated about what the NIA does and what it stands for.

In his view, he suspected that forces within the agency, who are not happy with the current Director-general, Abubakar Ahmed Rufai may be behind the fake news.

On Monday, an online newspaper, Peoples Gazette reported that Yusuf has been surreptitiously appointed by Buhari into NIA.

“Sabiu “Tunde” Yusuf, a nephew and domestic but influential aide to Mr. Buhari, was recently admitted as an assistant director at the nation’s external intelligence outfit, the Gazette understands based on information first volunteered by two presidency officials before additional corroboration from an NIA chief.

“Mr. Buhari inserted Mr. Yusuf into the NIA even as he lacked requisite field and administrative experience to handle the rigours of the crucial intelligence top job.

“Mr. Buhari has declined to make the appointment public to avoid yet another round of public clamour over his bias for northern supremacy in public service. But officials familiar with it have now informed the Gazette and excoriated the president for being unable to recognise the benefits of inclusive national patronage”.

Sabiu Yusuf said the truth will ‘come out’, one day.

Akon Goes into the Mining Sector in the DRC
Hip hop artist Akon has launched yet another business endeavour on the African continent.

This time the impressive undertaking is in the mining industry in the Democratic Republic of Congo as he has signed a deal to finance a copper and cobalt mine in the central African country in a joint venture with a state miner.

The Senegalese star is delving into the sector by way of the firm White Waterfall LLC which is registered in the United States and sees Akon — whose birth name is Aliuane Thiam, recorded as both the President and the CEO of the company as per contracts published on the mines ministry website.

Perhaps not a surprise as Akon has already publicly spoken about his interest in and admiration for DRC.

One of the contracts reportedly signed the Grammy-nominated singer on December 14 of last year, reveals a commitment of White Waterfall to pay a $2 million signing bonus and to finance a feasibility study of the Kimono reserve in Haut Katanga province.

Time Will reveal More About the Project

Akon, his team and his company representatives are yet to fully open up to the public and international media about the project — apparently the most recent in a string of business and philanthropic moves on the African continent over the last decade.

The $6 billion futuristic Akon City in Senegal and a cryptocurrency called Akoin are two of the more popular ventures that Akon has launched.

There are some who question the singer's moves and wonder if they are more self-serving or if there are true elements of continental development within their fabric.

The Coalition Against COVID-19 (CACOVID) has disowned BUA’s purported plan to purchase one million COVID-19 vaccines singlehandedly for Nigeria.

BUA was quoted on Monday that it has paid for 1 million doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines for Nigeria through the AFREXIM Vaccine programme in partnership with CACOVID.

Speaking on this development, Philanthropist and Founder of BUA, Abdul Samad Rabiu thanked the President of the Afrexim Bank, Dr. Benedict Oramah for making the purchase possible and the Nigerian Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, for coordinating the process through the CACOVID Private Sector partnership.

But CACOVID in a statement said it was dismayed to learn of reports on social media alleging that BUA is singlehandedly purchasing 1 million Covid-19 vaccine doses for Nigeria.

“Alhaji Abdulsamad must have been misquoted because these claims are not factual as CACOVID operates on a collegiate fund contribution model. There is no agreement between BUA, CACOVID and Afreximbank.

“During the CACOVID weekly call of February 8th, Governor Emefiele, relayed to the larger group a call that he held with Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Herbert Wigwe with Afreximbank President, Benedict Oramah on Sunday Feb 7th. President Oramah briefed the 3 CACOVID leaders on the $2 billion facility the Bank has set up with the African Union Vaccine taskforce to purchase vaccines for the African Continent.

“The allocation for Nigeria has been capped at 42 million doses. President Oramah explained that 1 million doses were ready for shipment to Nigeria in the next 2 weeks if a down payment was made by today, February 8th,” it explained.

CACOVID added that at Monday’s meeting, its leadership agreed to contribute $100 million to procure vaccines for Nigeria, sating that these 1 million doses from Afreximbank worth $3.45 million, being the very first tranche.

“CACOVID will purchase vaccines through other credible and subsidized mechanisms such as COVAX. The vaccines will be delivered to Nigeria and distributed through the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA).

“CACOVID would like the Nigerian public to understand that vaccine purchase is only possible through the Federal Government of Nigeria, and that no individual or company can purchase vaccines directly from any legitimate and recognized manufacturer,” it stated.
