The recent AY Live event in Abuja recorded impressive turnout as high profile Lagos based comedians like I GO DYE, Akpororo, Gordons, etc thrilled their FCT fans. While the audience remained excited with the performance of Amb. Wahala, Ghana Must Go, Mr Odey, Chuks D General and a host of other Abuja based entertainers. 
‎
It was indeed a memorable night of fun at Transcorp Hilton as the audience ‎got much more than they demanded especially with the musical displays of Magic Steppers, Style Plus and arresting moments of headline artist KCEE.

Federal Inland Revenue Service used the opportunity to encourage Nigerians to pay their taxes with the advertorial presentations on the screen. They had some of their top executives at the event ‎as part of their support and partnership for the highly sold out show.

Abuja AY Live was packaged ‎by Amana Agu Events and powered by Lanre Makun Events.

From the morning, Tuesday 26th June, Taxify riders will have access to a new category- COMFORT. 
COMFORT, will enable riders to have an alternative to the existing Taxify category. The new category is positioned to offer riders more choice in the way they move. COMFORT will also have pre-selected upscale vehicles combined with highly rated driver-partners to offer riders a great experience on their trips. 

According to Country Manager, Uche Okafor “We want to cater to a broader audience and offer more choice to riders in the way that they move. We’re all about rider choice at Taxify which is why we have introduced the COMFORT Category for the people of Abuja to have more options when they desire to move in style for events such as a business meeting, date night or a night about town.” 

Taxify has said that the launch of the COMFORT category will be celebrated with a 15% discount on all fares. 
On the response from the Abuja market, Okafor said “It’s a market that is ready. So far, interest in the new category has been impressive. We already have hundreds of driver-partners signed up to be part of the COMFORT category and are increasingly onboarding new partners everyday. Driver-partners with vehicle models from 2009 till date can sign up on partners.taxify.eu and register to drive on the COMFORT category.“
COMFORT rides would be available for use across Abuja.

Previous project: Hand washing sensitization campaign in Abia state

@alexreports

Follow [i]@alexreports[/i]


Following the successful completion of the 3 days hand washing sensitization campaign in public schools in Abia state, Queen Chikezie Ijeoma, the founder of Help Keep Clean Foundation has commenced a media tour to several TV and Radio stations in the capital city.  

The vibrant young lady was a guest in two channels at TSTV ‎cable network and Peoples Television yesterday, where she spoke extensively on the success and impact of the hand washing campaign recently concluded in Abia state. The exercise which involved over 10 public schools and about 7000 pupils, saw the NGO distribute illutrated hand washing story book and cleaning materials. 

Speaking at the interview session, Ijeoma said that her team will be building up on the hand washing project by sinking boreholes in rural communities. " I am truly happy with the success of the project in my state, I hope to extend the exercise to other states but for now, we are targeting to start sinking boreholes in rural communites"
‎
"Accessibility of Water supply is one of the major challenges of  ‎sustaining the hand washing campaign in most communities, and we have resolved to take up the responsibility of embarking on making water available which is not only important but essentially ingrediential  for healthy living" she concluded.

The ex- Beauty queen further called on Government and well meaning Nigerians to embrace this exercise to ensure rural communities are provided with water supply. She also stressed on the need organisations and individuals to support in whatever capacity to make this dream see the light of the day for most rural communities.

Prof. Kingsley Moghalu is a man you underrate at your own peril. Articulate, well-educated, diplomatic experience at the UN under Kofi Annan, former Deputy Governor at the Central Bank who helped Lamido Sanusi evolve game-changing banking policies in corporate governance and risk management at CBN, Moghalu is propelled by the same wind of change that brought in Obama and Macron. For one hour, I interviewed him for my forthcoming book: Boardroom Leadership: Lessons on Corporate Governance and Strategy. We started off talking about his ambition to lead Nigeria and his thoughts on leadership which I found newsworthy. Excerpts:

For a start, my real competition is not Omoyele Sowore nor Fela Durotoye. My competition is Buhari. That is where I am going. It’s either I beat Buhari in the first ballot or there would be a runoff. When there is a runoff, all the forces that want change, would back me and we will take him out.
I am using the YPP. The Young Progressive Party. It’s the last party on the ballot. A lot of people don’t know about it. It is going to be my joker. When I announced my presidential candidature, I didn’t announce my party, because I wanted people to focus on me and the vision. YPP was formed by a group of young men. It’s not owned by one person. There are no moneybags. In fact, the party doesn’t have money. I too don’t have money. But I believe that faith in God and the people would see us through. As the message comes up more and more, people are seeing the difference. People are tired of the old political order. They are just confused. The more they see me as someone who can articulate their frustration and a possible path out of it, the more they would be rallying towards me. You would see what would happen. It would be going gradually, gradually. And at some point, it would explode. Many things would happen, between now and the election.

From Obama I am learning about the evocative power of an oratory that touches people and draws out their strength. Some people say: “You are speaking like Obama” and I laugh. Obama showed that you can beat the odds. The odds may be against you, but if you connect with the people and evoke the sense of possibilities, you can upturn the status quo. Same thing for Macron. Macron was able to position himself as an agent of something different from the old and the status quo. He dared the people of France to reach out for it. And he succeeded. This is what my campaign would eventually be in this country. We would break all this shibboleth of tribalism, political mafias and godfathers. I was very careful in coming out. No godfather. No party. Don’t announce a party, and don’t have a godfather. Come out first and begin to push the vision. As you push the vision, eventually you would have a party because right now we still don’t have independent candidates. If we had independent candidates, I would have run as an independent. Then number two, focus on your youth base. Number three, delegitimize the old political order. Don’t spare them. Make them your campaign focus. Tell the people they are recycled old politicians who have done them no good. And show them the alternative which you represent. The knowledge you have, the experience you have, the exposure and your track record.


 
The big challenge we have to that strategy is poverty. People’s poverty and politicians buying their consciences. But we are working on that too. We are explaining to them that selling your destiny for stomach infrastructure and flushing it down the toilet: na yourself you dey do. We are telling them: “Why don’t you sacrifice and move to a new order that can create a system that works for all of us over a longer term, rather than just every four years they would come and give you stomach infrastructure and your problems remain?” No light. No jobs. No hospitals. No good schools. What has changed? Every four years, it’s the same cycle. They would come and be distributing money to you. So we are directly hitting the issue. As I go around in my town halls, I am talking about it. It was while I was teaching as a professor at Fletcher School, Tufts University, Massachusetts after my time at the Central Bank that this vision came to me. I never ever thought I could go into politics. But something told me, if you have this vision, you might as well go into politics—make yourself available for the presidency and see what happens. I don’t see being an Igbo an obstacle. And that is why bypassing the traditional political class, especially in the Southeast is important. Because if you go to them, they have been defeated mentally.

 The highest position they can aspire to is vice presidency. That’s all they do. Lobbying to be VP, which has been offered to me by the people they are lobbying but I have turned it down. There is nothing that stops anybody in Nigeria from aspiring. If you have a vision to serve the people, why not? Why should you allow where you come from to defeat your vision? And why should the country rob itself of the possibility of progress because the people that can help bring that progress are from the “right” or the “wrong” tribe. I don’t have ethnic consciousness. Therefore my candidacy is not an ethnic candidacy. Because I have rejected that paradigm. My candidacy is a Nigerian candidacy for the Nigerian presidency. The vision that I have transcends these things that divide Nigeria. That’s why I feel that I would be the person to heal this country. Paradoxically, a lot of people have said it: the fact that you are actually from the part of the country you come from actually makes that likely because you are not from the political class in that part of the country. If you were, you wouldn’t even make it. But you are a technocrat, you’ve been abroad, you have a lot of international exposure, you have leadership experience at national level, you are not coming from an ethnic background, therefore the likelihood that you would be able to heal Nigeria is actually high. I want to heal Nigeria and I have the nation-building skills and experience from years in the UN. I have reconstructed broken nations around the world, from Cambodia to Croatia, from Angola to Rwanda. So why can’t I do it in my country? Two, I have economics background. I have a knowledge of what to do to fix the Nigerian economy. I have the diplomatic experience to restore Nigeria’s standing in the world. So at the end of the day, I believe there is no candidate standing that can offer Nigeria what I offer Nigeria. More importantly, we need a generational change in leadership. Because the rule of tired old men and tired old parties and tired old systems, they are in it for themselves. They are not in it for the reason I am in it.

Leadership is the secret of transformation of societies, institutions, of families. Other than God, leadership is the most important element of human existence. So you find that societies that make progress are societies that have a system of bringing up effective leaders. So when a society does not address its leadership problem as a society, you will find what you find in Nigeria: powerful leaders in the private sector, power leaders in various places, but in the political space, which is the most important, no leaders. Just politicians. Therefore leadership matters. Leadership defines the destiny of nations and institutions. So leadership is job No.1

THIS PRESIDENTIAL APOLOGY...

"On behalf of the Federal Government, I tender the nation’s apology to the family of the Late MKO Abiola, who got the highest votes in the June 12, 1993 election; and to all those who lost their loved ones in the cause of the June 12 struggle" ...President Muhammadu Buhari
_____________________

"Apology accepted, Mr President. 

However, the greatest honour you can do the memory of MKO Abiola, Gani Fawehinmi and all those  who lost their lives sequel to that annulment, is to let the life of your administration reflect the Spirit of equity, "free and fairness" that these martyrs lived and died for.

Ekiti state election is around the corner, you must allow INEC conduct a free and fair election, devoid of "federal might". The electorates must not be induced with money!

The coming 2019 Presidential election should reflect the true wish of the people, untainted.

Security agencies should not wait for your body language to carry out their statutory responsibilities and their primary allegiance should be to the Nigerian state and not to you.

Court judgements should be obeyed and not explained away.

Appointments into positions should be equitable, widespread, based on merit, without nepotism. 

Perceived political opponents should not be robed.

Looters of our commonwealth should not be shielded once they cross over to your party. 

Security of lives and property should not be politicised. 

Your apology is accepted Mr President, but it will be tantamount to a Greek gift, except the life of your administration reflects the Spirit of June 12!!!"

Presidential Aspirant,

EBOLA: Beauty Queen Distributes Books And Hand Washing Materials To 8000 Pupils

Help Keep Clean Foundation takes hand washing campaign to Abia Schools ‎
@alexreports

The founder and President of HELP KEEP CLEAN Foundation, Queen Ijeoma Chikezie has ended a 3-day hand washing sensitisation campaign in Abia State capital, Umuahia. The much anticipated hand washing sensitization campaign under the foundation’s good health drive with supervision by Abia State Ministry of Education an Ministry of Health concluded today in some public primary schools in Abia state practically educating the children steps to observe on clean and healthy lifestyle through proper washing of their hands with water and soap. ‎

This also follows with special teaching and enlightenment of the pupils on how to prevent diseases and infections, as well as waging war against EBOLA scare in Congo‎. The exercise which was aimed at reaching out to over 30 primary Schools in the state witnessed the practical hand washing sensitization campaign in 10 schools for a start, included the presentations of buckets, water tap drums, tissue papers, soaps, baskets and other hand washing materials to all the classes of the 10 schools.

 In a bid to have an easy understanding of the exercise, an illustrated hand washing story book ” Tom & His Washing hand Friends” authored by the Abia state born ex-beauty queen and founder of the NGO, were distributed to all the over 7000 pupils in the different primary schools visited. Queen Ijeoma while highlighting the motivation and essence of the project to the journalists said. 

“It is truly a dream come true for me, being the convener of this project, contributing to the provision and improvement of clean water, sanitaion facilities and basic hygiene education in primary schools is what my foundation is all about. “From UNICEF’s report, every year in Nigeria, about 124,000 children under the age of 5 die from preventable diseases caused by lack of clean water, adequate sanitation and basic hygiene education. The diseases include diarrhoea, dysentry, cholera, cold, tummy bugs, respiratory infection, skin infection etc, these germs includes bacteria, viruses and fungi,” she added.

 According to her “One of the most effective and inexpensive ways to eradicate and stop the spread of these germs and diseases including EBOLA and Monkey pox scare  is the simple act of hand washing with water and soap. This is a project my foundation has taken up to sensitize and inculcate in children in this practice and also general healthy hygiene lifestyle. “My Book on hand washing is given freely to every child as a constant reminder to keep a healthy hygiene. Going to schools to teach children, and personally distributing the books to them with a warm hug is something they won’t forget in a hurry, and as we know, children are agents of change, this education and practice lingers in them. 


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIZAPp40O4Y

This Program will continue in different primary schools in Nigeria” she concluded. According to the coordinator, Queen Ijeoma, the exercise will continue in other schools in Aba tomorrow as Umuahia outing was termed impressive today. The Help Keep Clean Foundation which involves Alex Nwankwo, Chikezie Amarachi and others will arrive Aba tomorrow for the 2nd day of the hand washing project with delegates from Ministry of Education.
