Politics / We’ll Ensure Massive Empowerment Of Girls, Women, Youth – Tinubu by ChelseaArmy(m): 7:58am On Apr 25 |
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Wednesday reiterated his administration’s commitment to improving the lives of girls, women and young people in the country. Speaking at the unveiling of the United Nations Fund for Population Activities’ (UNFPA) State of the World Population 2024 Report Wednesday, the President stated the need to tackle the challenges facing vulnerable demographics in the country. He said his administration was committed to improving the living standards of girls, women and young people’s lives by fulfilling promises to speed up actions in Nigeria. He said the aim is to prevent maternal deaths and ensure girls’ access to quality education and healthcare. The president, who was represented by the Coordinating Minster of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Ali Pate, stated the importance of girls’ education and avoiding early motherhood, quality healthcare access, and ending gender-based violence and harmful practices like early/forced marriages and female genital mutilation. He said with a focus on strengthening the four D Principles – Development, Democracy, Demography and Diaspora – the government aims to integrate modern solutions into policies and programmes that benefit this demographic. “The Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative, launched in December 2023, is a testament to the administration’s commitment to the health and well-being of girls, women, and young people. “This initiative aims to improve access to quality healthcare services, including reproductive health and family planning, and address the unique challenges facing this demographic. “Meeting the aspirations of the population affected by these inter- woven threads, who are mostly women, girls and young people, places a great demand and a sense of duty on us all to keep that hope alive. We must fulfil the promises to accelerate actions in Nigeria and ensure no woman dies giving birth. “We must ensure that girls stay in school instead of becoming mothers at tender ages, provide access to quality health care and services everywhere, including accelerated access to family planning as fundamental for managing our population.” https://blueprint.ng/well-ensure-massive-empowerment-of-girls-women-youth-tinubu/ mynd44 lalasticlala seun nlfpmod fergie001 |
Politics / Tinubu Approves Routing Of 20% Palliatives Through Religious,traditionalleaders by ChelseaArmy(m): 7:43pm On Apr 24 |
President Bola Tinubu has approved a new initiative to route 20% of palliatives, including food interventions, through religious organisations and traditional institutions in the country. Vice President Kashim Shettima, who announced this on Tuesday while speaking at a high-level dialogue on nutrition at the State House in Abuja, also unveiled an ambitious plan to improve nutrition across Nigeria with a rallying call to faith and traditional leaders to champion the effort in their communities. The one-day dialogue with the theme: “Faith leaders as catalysts for enhanced human capital through nutrition,” was organized by the National Council on Nutrition and the World Bank-assisted Accelerating Nutrition Results in Nigeria [ANRiN] Project. Speaking about the approval given on the palliatives distribution, Shettima said: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is conscious of his obligations to the Nigerian people. He’s very much alive to the fact that the very essence of government is to provide support services and security to the lives of the citizenry”. The vice president was responding to concerns raised by the Imam of Bayero University, Kano (BUK) about the exclusion of traditional and religious leaders from the distribution of palliatives. He said: “The President has approved that 20% of the palliatives, in terms of food intervention, be routed through our religious organisations and the traditional institutions. The Tsangaya schools, the mission schools will be specially targeted for such interventions.” Shettima also announced that 20% of the funds released for the School Feeding Programme will be channeled through the office of the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning to religious bodies. According to him: “We have already commenced the engagement, we are working out the modalities so that we can have a hitch-free disbursement, a very transparent disbursement, taking into cognizance all the tendencies in our system”. Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, and President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the Most Rev. Daniel Okoh, pledged the commitment of their communities and congregations to the efforts to combat hunger and malnutrition in the country, stating that their presence at the event underscored their loyalty to the campaign. https://dailytrust.com/tinubu-approves-routing-of-20-palliatives-through-religious-traditional-leaders/ mynd44 lalasticlala seun nlfpmod fergie001 |

Politics / Reactions As FG Shuts Down Chinese Supermarket Discriminating Against Nigerians by ChelseaArmy(m): 8:33am On Apr 23 |
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has sealed off an Abuja-based Chinese supermarket. The supermarket is situated at the China General Chamber of Commerce, along Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Road in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. Nigerians, particularly on X, had called out the supermarket’s management over alleged discriminatory policy against citizens of the country. In a viral video, a security guard at the supermarket was heard explaining that Nigerians were not allowed to shop at the facility. He said the policy was given by their employer to all the employees from January 2024. “Nigerians were stopped from entering this supermarket in January,” the security guard said. One of the unidentified Nigerians who were denied entrance to the store said in the video that, “We are not allowed to enter the Chinese supermarket. It is not a joke. We have been trying to enter the place but we heard that most of the workers there are Nigerians. If we go in forcefully, they might lose their jobs.” This discovery generated a lot of bad feelings among Nigerians who described the supermarket’s policy as discriminatory. They called on the government to intervene. On Monday evening, officials of the FCCPC shut the supermarket when they stormed the premises. The development comes days after the commission closed all branches of 4U Supermarket in Abuja following the discovery of bags of rice filled with weevils. Meanwhile, Nigerians on X have reacted to the closure of the Chinese supermarket. @Iykeibrahim said: “Am beginning to have some trust in the Jagaban government.” @Awelu9ce: “The place doesn’t even look like a supermarket… What must be going on in there? May God save us o” @trevcap3lla982: “Racism inside our own country… This speaks a lot about the Chinese people… It’s so pathetic.” @uqochukwu: “The power of social media.” @TindeTresh: “This is the best news today.” @Oladapomikky1: “Imagine foreigners giving sons daughters of the soil boundaries.” @AdventurousAles: “I congratulate the FCCPC for this, it’s insanity, when you don’t allow Nigerians into the restaurant in our own land, c’mon! The height of discrimination must end, you can do that in China not in our capital territory.” @JustOneDebbie: “Oh wow, I mean. Normally, why would you establish a company in a country and u banned the citizens of the same country from entering the company.” @SimpleTee: “This made me so happy, the only thing the authorities have done this year that I’m proud of , them suppose deport the owner of the supermarket too.” @ndubisi_omeke: “That’s nice. Why would a foreign restaurant established in Nigeria refuse to accept Nigerians? Who does that!” @EmmyIfeoluwa13: “I knew that this would happen. How will u come into another persons country and restrict its citizens from patronizing ur mall. That makes no sense.” @ItzBarbieAlmie: “This is how it should be done !! They can’t make us foreigners in our own country.” https://dailytrust.com/reactions-as-fg-shuts-down-abuja-chinese-supermarket-discriminating-against-nigerians/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod fergie001 |

The President Bola Tinubu administration may create new ministries from the existing ones, Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the president, said on Thursday in Abuja. The ministerial list containing 28 nominees was submitted to the National Assembly today by Mr Gbajabiamila on behalf of the president and was read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. ‘’Mr President intends to separate portfolios or restructure the ministries in such a way you might be hearing of new ministries that were not standalone ministries before. So the process continues.’’ President Bola Ahmed Tinubu [PHOTO: Presidency] The 28 minister-nominees include Abubakar Momoh, Yusuf Tuggar, Ahmed Dangiwa, Hannatu Musawa, Uche Nnaji, Betta Edu, Doris Aniche Uzoka, David Umahi, and Nyesom Wike. Others are Badaru Abubakar, Nasiru Ahmed El-Rufai, Ekperipe Ekpo, Nkeiruka Onyejocha, Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, Stella Okotette, Uju Kennedy Ohaneye, Bello Goronyo, Dele Alake, and Lateef Fagbemi. The rest include Muhammad Idris, Olawale Edun, Waheed Adebayo Adelabu, Iman Suleiman Ibrahim,. Ali Pate, Joseph Utsev, Abubakar Kyari, John Enoh, and Sani Abubakar Danladi. Mr Gbajabiamila said the nominees were chosen after undergoing strict personal screening by the President. Second batch of ministers coming He said a second part comprising 13 names would be sent to the assembly, adding that this was part of the process of having a cabinet for the administration. ‘’As you know, he had 60 days from the time of inauguration, as stipulated in the constitution. He has fulfilled that requirement of the constitution by submitting 28 names today. ‘’As his letter stated and was read on the floor of the Senate, the remaining names, not sure how many, probably about 12, maybe 13, will be forwarded to the Senate in the coming days. ‘’As far as the nominees themselves are concerned, and like I said, Mr President took his time to sift through those names,’’ he said. Absence of portfolios The CoS said the president decided to toe the line of tradition by not attaching the portfolio of the nominees in the letter to the Senate to give room for reviews. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/612384-ministerial-list-new-ministries-may-be-created-gbajabiamila.html Mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod |

Politics / DSS Asks: Why Is Ipob’s Lawyer Defending Emefiele? by ChelseaArmy(m): 11:00pm On Jul 18, 2023 |
The Department of State Services (DSS) has described one
of the lawyers of Godwin Emefiele, suspended governor of
the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as a counsel of the
outlawed indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
In a tweet on Tuesday, the secret police accused Maxwell
Okpara, Emefiele’s counsel of working for the outlawed
group.
Okpara and some lawyers had called for action against DSS
Director-General, Yusuf Bichi, over the detention of
Emefiele.
But DSS described Okpara as a “Biafran Republic agitator”,
saying the lawyer needs to be well tutored on the law as
per Emefiele’s arrest. The secret police tweeted, “Biafran Republic agitator and Outlawed IPOB counsel defending the suspended CBN governor. “Is IPOB defending one of theirs? What a contradiction. What’s the connection? Is someone telling us something? May Maxwell be properly educated on points of law, please.” A Biafran Republic agitator and Outlawed IPOB counsel defending the suspended CBN Governor. Is IPOB defending one of theirs? What a contradiction…..hmmm…what's the connection? Is someone telling us something? May Maxwell be properly educated on points of law, please. — Department of State Services (DSS) (@OfficialDSSNG) July 18, 2023 Okpara is one of the lawyers representing the suspended CBN governor to to secure his freedom. Meanwhile, Okpara had also on many occasions, represented leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

Business / Transactions Suffer As Federal Govt Restricts Mdas’ Accounts by ChelseaArmy(m): 10:49pm On Jun 09, 2023 |
The federal government online financial transactions have been put on hold as Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government grapple with financial crisis following a presidential directive to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to place embargo on their accounts. LEADERSHIP exclusively gathered that all the MDAs have been stifled of funds to conduct normal or regular transactions with their vendors. It was learnt that contractors and suppliers of the agencies have not been paid their fees from May ending to date. Multiple sources in the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, CBN and Office of the Accountant-general of the Federation confirmed the presidential embargo on the accounts of the MDAs to LEADERSHIP. A director in the finance ministry who asked not to be named said the directive was given by the new administration to prevent civil servants, especially interim heads of the MDAs from engaging in sharp practices before substantive ministers are appointed. “It is a presidential directive that was given by the new government. The idea is to enable the president know what he met on ground and to be able to know where he is taking off from,” the director who should know said. It was also learnt that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu gave the directive to conduct background checks into the books of the various agencies for proper accountability. A very reliable source at Centre for Management Development (CMD) told our correspondent that when some staff of the agency went to enquire from CBN on why their authorised payments have not been paid, “we were simply told no reason. We are not paying those kind of transactions for now,” he said https://leadership.ng/transactions-suffer-as-federal-govt-restricts-mdas-accounts/?_e_pi_= mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod |

Sports / Ronaldo Struggling To Hire Private Chef For £17m For His Mansion In Portugal by ChelseaArmy(m): 9:22pm On Jan 19, 2023 |
Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez are struggling to recruit a private chef for their £17 million mansion in Portugal due to the couple’s exorbitant demands, MailOnline has reported. Ronaldo is currently building a lavish mansion in Quinta da Marinha, Portugal. The construction of the mansion, which is being dubbed his retirement sanctuary, is set to be completed in June 2023. It has been reported that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is spending an eye-popping £17 million to build the perfect home for his family. However, despite the huge budget, things have not been flowing as smoothly as anticipated. According to MailOnline, Ronaldo and Rodriguez have found it difficult to hire the perfect chef. It has been reported that Ronaldo is offering £4,500 per month for the job, but there have been no takers as of yet. Reports in Portugal have claimed that the hunt has been dragging on due to Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez’s demands. The couple is looking for a chef who is not only adept in preparing traditional Portuguese dishes but can also expertly prepare international cuisines, such as sushi. It has been reported that Ronaldo’s under- construction mansion will have a designated area to prepare Japanese dishes. Given their particular requirements, it will not be easy for a chef to cater to their needs. It will be interesting to see how long Ronaldo and Georgina have to wait to get their dream cook. https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/rumor-cristiano-ronaldo-georgina-rodriguez-struggling-hire-private-chef-17m-retirement-mansion-portugal mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun MissyB3 tjskii |
