As for me, lunch is not part of my meals again.

It's not like I can't provide lunch but that will put me in tight budget and I may not have something to save at the end of the day. L Even though I make a little above 100k in profits.
In Nigeria, if you earn N100k in places like Rivers state, Bruh u are broke, and I begin to feel bad for those earning around 50k, ona deh try.

A faction of the People’s Democratic Party in Kano State has rejected the ward congresses conducted in the state on Saturday (today).

The Sadiq Aminu Wali faction of the PDP in a statement by its Chieftain, Muhaminnah Lamido, distanced itself from the results of the ward congresses.

The faction said that the process lacked the necessary transparency, inclusiveness, and fairness that are fundamental to upholding the democratic ideals of our great party.

Sadiq Aminu Wali was the Kano gubernatorial candidate of the PDP during the 2023 general election.

The statement read, “It is with deep concern that we note the deliberate exclusion of key stakeholders and legitimate party members in the build-up to the congresses, as well as several irregularities observed during the exercise. This process, which has been marred by a lack of internal democracy, runs counter to the principles that the PDP stands for and our commitment to ensuring that all party members are given an equal and fair opportunity to participate.’’


‘’Sadiq Aminu Wali, leader of our faction, has expressed dismay over the procedural failings and violations of the party’s guidelines. Despite repeated efforts to engage with the relevant party organs to resolve outstanding issues before the congresses, our legitimate concerns were disregarded, resulting in today’s flawed exercise.’’

“We urge the PDP’s national leadership to swiftly intervene and take necessary steps to address the anomalies witnessed today. This will be crucial in safeguarding the unity and integrity of the party, especially as we approach critical elections in Kano State.

‘’Our faction remains committed to upholding the principles of democracy, rule of law, and justice, and we call on our supporters to remain calm as we seek redress through appropriate party channels.’’

‘’We reaffirm our loyalty to the People’s Democratic Party and its ideals and will continue to work toward building a stronger, more unified party in Kano State.’’

The All Progressives Congress in Anambra State has withdrawn from the upcoming local government elections, scheduled for 28th September 2024, citing concerns over irregularities.

The party announced this on Saturday, adding that it had decided to take legal action, challenging the election process in court.

According to the party, the decision followed alleged violations of due process, which they believe undermines the credibility of the poll.

The APC further explained that participating in the LG election would amount to “legalising illegality,” insisting that the constitution of the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC) and the announcement of the election date did not follow due process as stipulated by the Electoral Act 2022.



The motion to boycott the election was moved by APC stakeholders, including Donatus Emecheta, and seconded by Ikunwata Obadike, during the party’s stakeholders’ meeting held at the state headquarters in Awka on Saturday.

Addressing party members during the meeting, the State Chairman of the APC, Chief Basil Ejidike, noted that the APC, under his leadership, would not participate in the election because ANSIEC and the state governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, were not prepared to conduct the exercise in a free, fair, and credible manner.

Ejidike stated, “How can a great party like APC be involved in an election where political parties are not given enough time to conduct primaries to elect their candidates, no campaign rallies, no selling of forms in accordance with the Electoral Act?”

He also claimed that Soludo had already set up a tribunal at the Anambra State High Court in Awka for political parties wishing to challenge the election’s outcome, suggesting that the governor was not transparently preparing to establish an accountable local government system.


“We are already in court to challenge the process because the APC, being the major opposition party in Anambra State, must try as much as possible to lead by example. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party have also gone to court to challenge the irregularities, and we applaud them.”

Ejidike further urged party members to remain focused, as the APC would soon begin a tour of the 21 local government areas in preparation for the 2025 governorship election in the state.

Also speaking, the APC Legal Adviser, Chukwunoso Chinweuba, said the party had already filed a case in the High Court, challenging the entire local government election process.

Chinweuba argued that the electoral process had been compromised by irregularities, citing Section 23(1) of the ANSIEC Law 2024, which provides for a 30-day notice period for the election, as inconsistent with Section 103(3) of the Electoral Act 2022, which requires a 150-day notice period.

A minute’s silence was observed during the meeting in honour of the late Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.

It is worth noting that over 10 years have passed since the last local government elections were held in Anambra State, the most recent taking place in 2014.

Since then, all 21 local government areas in the state have been managed by caretaker transition committee chairmen appointed by the governor every three months.

The first name that came to my mind when I saw the title was Pastor Taribo West
It was always amusing to me then that after all those rough defensive tackles in the field he finally decided to become a man of God.
Just imagine someone like Gattuso, or Pepe, or Sergio Ramos becoming a pastor

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has revealed the commission’s plans to investigate more than 3,000 financial crime cases.

He explained that the 3,000 cases approved for investigation were part of the over 5,000 petitions received by the agency from different groups and Nigerians.

Olukoyede said this at the 20th-anniversary lecture of the Human and Environmental Development Agenda Resources Centre, held in Lagos on Saturday.

The EFCC boss, who was the guest lecturer at the event, said the agency has recovered over N60bn and $10m, in less than four months since he assumed office.


While lamenting the pervasive nature of corruption in Nigeria, he noted that the agency has innovated mechanisms to either stop or minimise the stealing of public funds and other financial and economic crimes.

He stressed that it takes collective responsibility from every Nigerian to move the country forward and end corruption.

Olukoyede, however, reiterated his resolve to use the anti-corruption drive to stimulate the Nigerian economy.

He added, “When we set out to investigate. People see it as a fight between EFCC and the rest of us. It should not be so. How much will the EFCC do?

“How much will ICPC do with its staff strength? I have less than 4,800 staff. I am talking of an agency that is serving people who are over 150 million.

“All we have to do is investigate and present the facts before the court. I will not be the one to give judgement. That is where we have collective responsibility. When you see something, you say something

“The issue is we are working as if we are not working. Upon my assumption of office between then and now, I have received over 5,000 petitions. I am not talking of just the one we received, but the one that we have checked and discovered that there was substance in it. That is just for one agency, EFCC.


“As I am talking to you I have approved the investigation of over 3,000 cases in less than four months, but what is our capacity, how many staff do we have? What resources do I have access to?

“In less than four months, we secured convictions of 700 and recovered over 60 billion naira, over 10 million dollars.

“If I am able to recover over 60 billion naira in less than 100 days, you can imagine how much has been stolen.

“I can tell you that for the billion that has been recovered, trillion has been stolen.”

On his part, the Chairman of HEDA, Mr. Olanrewaju Suraju, noted that the anti-corruption fight had been challenging.

Suraju urged every Nigerian to contribute a quota from their respective spheres and domains.

He stressed that HEDA cannot do the fight alone but can influence and facilitate the process for agencies like the EFCC, ICPC, Code of Conduct Bureau, and Tribunal to do their jobs more effectively.

“We need an effective policing system with integrity, then the court must not continue to discharge persons with corruption cases still hanging on their necks,” he maintained.

The EFCC had earlier in the year said that adherence to professionalism and commitment to the rule of law by government officials would ensure Nigerians’ contribution to economic growth.

He stressed that an increase in professionalism means zero tolerance for all forms of arbitrariness.
