Politics / President Buhari Prepares To Raise Tax On Tobacco Products To 50% by Chiomaboniface: 11:39am On Apr 19, 2023
By Thav Tv

The Federal Government says it will increase excise tax on tobacco products from 30% ad-valorem to 50% as part of measures to control tobacco smoking in the country. Dr Mangai Malau, Head, Tobacco Control Unit, Noncommunicable Disease Division, Federal Ministry of Health disclosed this on Tuesday, at the National Tobacco Control Budget Advocates Meeting in Abuja. He has further imposed 30 percent tax on tobacco products.

He said that presently, the Federal Government imposed 30% tax on tobacco products but its target was to increase to 50% in order to meet the World Health organization (WHO) standard. According to him, funding for tobacco control must come majorly from taxation and there is also need for relevant stakeholders to apply tax measures rightly if they are to address the issues of tobacco control in the country.“In effectively controlling tobacco and tobacco products in Nigeria, funding is a critical component. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) recognises this and clearly stipulates in Article 26.

“It states that parties shall provide financial support in respect of its national activities intended to achieve the objective of the Convention, in accordance with its national plans, priorities and programmes.“It is also important to state that funding is a major provision of the National Tobacco Control (NTC) Act. “Section eight of the Act, provides for the Tobacco Control Fund, which shall be used to fund tobacco control activities programmes and projects,” Malau said.

According to him, this meeting is therefore important as it will seek for better funding for tobacco control, in order for Nigeria to meet the objectives of the WHO FCTC and the NTC Act.

He said, “Tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke is a leading cause of mortality, morbidity, disability and impoverishment in the world. He said that tobacco smoke contained over 7,000 chemicals, of which hundreds were toxic and about 70 are known to cause cancer.

“Also, there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke and even a brief exposure can be harmful to one’s health. “Concerned about the threat from tobacco, Nigeria signed and ratified the WHO FCTC, in 2004 and 2005 respectively. In 2015, the National Tobacco Control (NTC) Act was enacted and its Regulations was passed in 2019,” he said. In his remarks, the Chairman of Nigeria Tobacco Control Alliance (NTCA), Mr Akinbode Oluwafemi, stressed the need for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to advocate for more budgetary allocation for tobacco control in the country.

Politics / Mohammadu Buhari’s Govt. Ends With 96 Chibok Girls Still Held Captive After 9 Ye by Chiomaboniface: 2:20pm On Apr 14, 2023
By Thav Tv

President Muhammadu Buhari tenure will come to an end without fulfilling one of the major promises that got him millions of votes that brought him to power in 2015. On the night of Monday, April 14, 2014, Boko Haram terrorists attacked the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State and kidnapped 276 schoolgirls While the incident underscored the failure of Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, it paved way for Buhari’s presidency with the promise that he would secure the release of the schoolgirls if elected. Ahead of the 2015 general election, Buhari on Wednesday, March 18, 2025, while speaking at a town hall meeting in Abuja promised to do all it takes to rescue the girls.He said if elected, he would – as a retired major general – defend Nigeria’s territorial integrity, end terrorism and reunite Chibok girls and other victims of insurgency with their families.

The president in his speech to the public says,“as a father, I feel the pain of the victims of insurgency, kidnapping and violence. Under my watch, no force, external or internal, will occupy even an inch of Nigerian soil. I will give it all it takes to ensure that our girls kidnapped from Chibok are rescued and reintegrated with their families,” Buhari promised. Unfortunately, Buhari has only 45 days left in office and nine years after the tragic abduction of 276 schoolgirls, 96 of them are still in the custody of their captors.

And prior to the kidnap of the school girls, a group of citizens advocating for their rescue launched the campaign. According to the group, the last report on the status of the Chibok Girls in October 2022 showed that 107 victims have been released by their captors, while 57 girls escaped from their den. The military rescued 16 while 96 are still missing. Those rescued by the military were handed over to the Government of Borno State and have not been reunited with their families.


In a statement released on Thursday, April 13, 2023, to commemorate the ninth anniversary of the abduction of Chibok girls, the group called on the state government to release the girls and allow them to have control of their lives.

The statement reads, “We are equally distressed to learn that after a successful campaign by our gallant military in the last two years when they liberated thousands of people including over 12 girls — now women — and handed them over to the Borno State. Government, our daughters and sisters remain in the custody of the State and have not been properly reunited with their families or back in control of their lives now that they are out of the hands of the terrorists. “Have our girls escaped one form of captivity only to spend 6 months to one and a half years in a different form of captivity? What crime have they committed? Why are survivors of unimaginable trauma being treated this way?” The group also called on President Buhari to fulfil his promises to secure the release of the remaining Chibok girls, Leah Sharibu and other victims of insurgency before the end of his administration.

Crime / Army Refuses Forceful Removal Of Retired Officer by Chiomaboniface: 11:51am On Apr 14, 2023
By Thav Tv

The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement on Thursday, said the story was deliberately skewed to tarnish the image and reputation of the Nigerian army. According to Nwachukwu, it is expedient to set the record straight and clear grey areas on the ejection of the retired senior officer. He said House 7 on Abakaliki Lane was among Federal Government houses accommodating Nigerian army officers in Enugu for over two decades. He said that the house was allocated to retired Col. EL Ugwoke, then a Major, as his official residence when he was posted as the Deputy Commander 82 Division Intelligence Group in 2007.

Nwachukwu explained that that the officer continued to occupy the house even after he was posted out of the division. He added that it was later discovered that he attempted to dubiously appropriate the house to himself, using some officials of Enugu State Government. He said that in 2020, a committee was instituted by then General Officer Commanding (GOC) to ascertain the status of the property. He said that the property was discovered to be among the houses handed over to 82 Division by past administrators to ameliorate the accommodation challenges of the Division.“That the said property was not among 26 residential quarters officially handed over to the Enugu State Government in 2015.

“That there are no documents to confirm that the said property was sold or paid for by anyone. “It is worthy of note that officers of the army occupying institutionalised houses are expected to vacate such accommodation while on posting or retirement.“However, the retired senior officer failed to comply knowing fully the rippling effects on accommodation status of others posted in, and serving officers,” he said.

The Army spokesman also said the alleged brutalisation of the retired officer’s wife and children in the said publication was outright falsehood aimed at whipping up undue sentiments. He said the Nigerian army was a disciplined institution with utmost regard for family institution and the vulnerable, particularly women and children.

The ejection process was audio and visually documented, as it was envisaged that such allegation could arise. “Emphatically, neither the wife nor children were brutalised and no property was damaged in the process of eviction.“The retired senior officer’s belongings were simply transferred from the house in question to his personal house at number 127 Park Avenue, GRA Enugu to pave way for other serving officers to be accommodated.“This was after serving the retired officer three previous official notices and several appeals for him to vacate the property after his retirement in 2021.“The general public is advised to disregard this misleading publication as it is devoid of the actual facts of what transpired. “The Nigerian army will not relent in catering for the wellbeing and welfare of its serving and retired personnel within the ambits of legitimacy,” he said.

By Thav Tv

The Commissioner of Police in Plateau , Mr Batholemew Onyeka, said that the state House of Assembly would remain sealed till security threats within and around the assembly complex were tackled.

“But we got information that some mischievous persons who, based on intelligence mobilised to ensure that they gain unrestricted access by all means to the assembly complex.

“I took the decision to seal the assembly complex to ensure that the State House of Assembly is safe and that neither life nor property is lost,” he said. Onyeka said that based on the intelligence at his disposal, he invited members of the assembly with their lawyers to his office. He said he advised the lawmakers to avoid anything that would lead to breakdown of law and order hence, the deployment of policemen to the complex.“It will be a negligence and dereliction of duty on my part as the commissioner of police if having gotten the intelligence and fails to do that for which I’m here to do.

Headmonished all law abiding citizens to go about their lawful businesses and the warring parties, to seek peaceful ways of settling their differences in accordance with the rule of law.

The News Agency of (NAN) reports that Ayuba who was impeached was reinstated by the Plateau High Court on April 3.He resumed duty on Tuesday, April 4 and presided over the assembly plenary.

Politics / Gov. Wike – I Won’t Campaign For PDP If Dino Wins For Governorship In Kogi by Chiomaboniface: 3:46pm On Apr 11, 2023
By Thav Tv

The Rivers State governor believes the PDP would lose the governorship election if it present Melaye as its candidate. As Senator Dino Melaye joined the Kogi governorship race, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has made his stand known on the forthcoming governorship election in the state.Wike believes Melaye does not have what it takes to vie for such a political position.

He said on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, during a media chat with selected journalists in Port Harcourt. “When you give Dino that ticket, you know he won’t win in Kogi State. Why would Kogi people say they would vote for a candidate like Dino? Are we joking?” he said.According to him, the fact that someone comes from a particular place does not translate to electoral success for the person if the person contests an election. “Dino does not have what it takes [to be a governor] for crying out loud”. He knows me very well. He does not have what it takes to be a governor.”

The Rivers State governor believes the PDP would lose the governorship election if it present Melaye as its candidate. “Does it mean now that if the PDP wants to win the election, it would give the ticket to Dino and you say tomorrow that you were rigged when you have already killed yourself?” “Are we saying that we want to win an election or just have a candidate?” he queried.When asked if he would campaign for the PDP if Melaye gets the party’s ticket, Wike said, “Do you need to ask me that kind of question? Are you not aware that I would not do that?” Wike alleged that the party’s leadership was trying to “manipulate” the process in favour of Melayed.

Religion / CAN Threatens Peak Over Easter Break, Demands For Apology by Chiomaboniface: 11:57am On Apr 11, 2023
By Thav Tv

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has demanded an apology from FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC, makers of Peak milk over its Easter advert, which the body described as disrespectful and offensive. In its bid to commemorate the death of Jesus Christ at Calvary, the company used its Peak milk brand as a metaphor for the crucifixion of Jesus. The advert displays a battered and pierced tin of milk with its content spilt on its body and a nail placed beside it. The controversial advert also has the caption: “Bruised and Pierced for us. #GoodFriday”.


However, Barrister Joseph Daramola, the General Secretary of CAN, in a statement on Monday, April 10, 2023, said the advert is offensive and unacceptable. He asked the diary company to apologise to Christians or face legal action and boycott of their products.“We find this advert to be insensitive, offensive, and totally unacceptable. Good Friday is a solemn day for Christians all over the world, a day we commemorate the death of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who was crucified on the cross for our sins. It is not a day to be used for crass commercial purposes,” he
said.



Daramola said the action of Friesland Campina WAMCO Nigeria PLC was disrespectful to the Christian faith and an affront to millions of Christians in Nigeria.“We are deeply disappointed that a company of such repute would stoop so low to exploit the religious sentiments of its customers for profit.

“We call on the company to issue an unreserved apology to the Christian community and withdraw the offensive advert immediately,” he said. He also recalled that in the past, Sterling Bank used the imagery of the crucifixion to promote its brand. He, therefore, urged all companies and organizations to be mindful of the religious and cultural sensitivities of their customers when promoting their products, adding that CAN would “not tolerate any attempt to trivialize or disrespect our faith.”

Education / Gov. Of Anambra State Wife, Mrs Nonye Soludo Encourages Parents To Always Ask Ch by Chiomaboniface: 2:04pm On Apr 07, 2023
By Thav Tv

Mrs Nonye Soludo, wife to Soludo has specially appealed to parents and guardians to rise to their responsibility. She further went on to admonish parent to always interrogate the source of their children’s wealth, where and how they get their money from. She gave the admonition during an interactive session with newsmen on Thursday in Awka. She identified parental failure to diligently inquire into their children’s social activities as the fundamental social problem threatening society today. According to her, many parents, out of undue urge, have abandoned the primary ethos of truth, honesty and principle in child raising, including moral inculcation and valued traditional etiquettes.

“Such costly parental neglect has resulted in many negativities currently bedeviling our society today.“Crimes and misdemeanors are slowly becoming institutionalised to the detriment of hard work and genuine means of survival. “In a case where parents deliberately refuse to question their child’s source of wealth, especially when it appears questionable, they have indirectly approved mediocrity, and fueled moral depreciation,” she said. Soludo, therefore, appealed to parents and guardians to rise to their responsibility. “What society envisages for the next generation may not happen, if the current social errors are not urgently corrected.

“The values of hard work must be widely preached and appreciated among families. “Parents and caregivers must also monitor and appreciate the success pace of their children or wards.“There is also the need for the reappraisal of most family ethos, especially as they concern child upbringing, with a closer look at the kind of moral platforms that parents are building for their children,” she said.

Literature / Nigerian Writer, Chimamanda Adichie Cautions Biden Not To Congratulate President by Chiomaboniface: 1:39pm On Apr 07, 2023
By Thav Tv

Chimamanda Adichie, has warned the president of the United States, Joe Biden, not to legitimise Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election by congratulating its winner, Bola Tinubu.The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) crowned the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in a keen contest against Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) and 15 other candidates.


Numerous irregularities marred the February 25 election, especially the transmission and collation of results which has proved a very controversial subject. INEC had promised that results would be collated electronically and available to be viewed on an online portal in real-time, but several glitches sabotaged the process. The commission rejected calls from many parties for the glitches to be fixed and announced the winner by collating the results manually.

In an open letter published by the American publication, The Atlantic, on Thursday, April 6, 2023, Adichie accused INEC of betraying the trust of Nigerians. She highlighted the recorded incidents of violence, destruction, intimidation of voters, ethnic profiling and manipulation of results sheets. “The election had been not only rigged, but done in such a shoddy, shabby manner that it insulted the intelligence of Nigerians,” she wrote in the letter titled “Nigeria’s Hollow Democracy”. Biden is one of the few world leaders yet to send a personal congratulatory message to Tinubu, a 71-year-old former governor of Lagos. But the U.S. Department of State congratulated him hours after INEC’s announcement on March 1 and described the election as “a new period for Nigerian politics and democracy”.Adichie condemned the congratulatory message as surprising and condescending and took a swipe at the prime minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, who has already congratulated Tinubu.

Adichie pointed out to Biden that Tinubu’s victory has been greeted with muted celebrations in Nigeria, and put the nation in a state of unease.“Rage is brewing, especially among young people. The discontent, the despair, the tension in the air have not been this palpable in years,” she warned.The 45-year-old further noted to Biden that congratulating Tinubu would provide some legitimacy to the election and tarnish the reputation of the U.S. which claims to be committed to democracy. The writer concluded the open letter by pointing out that the hurt Nigerians feel about the outcome of the election isn’t about who won or lost, but the flawed nature of the contest. Obi, whom Adichie admitted she backed to win, finished third in the election and has already challenged the result in court.

Health / Health Centre Converted To Class Room In FCT by Chiomaboniface: 12:58pm On Apr 07, 2023
By Thav Tv

The school Principal said the improvisation was in line with the saying that “necessity is the mother of invention”.The Management of Government Secondary School (GSS) Jeda, Kuje Area Council has converted the health centre within the school into classrooms.This, the management said, was due to shortage of classrooms for students.The improvisation by the management came to the fore on Thursday, when the facilitator of the Centre, Sen. Philip Aduda (PDP-Abuja) inspected the project and others within Kuje and Gwagwalada Area Councils. The Principal of the School, Mohammed Tanko, said that the improvisation came about due to shortage of classrooms for students of the school.

The action, he explained, was in line with the saying that “necessity is the mother of invention”. Tanko said: “The management, staff and students of GSS Jedda are extremely grateful for the intervention projects facilitated to the school like the block of six classrooms nearing completion. “Others are the already completed Primary Health Care Centre which is being temporarily used as classrooms.

“The conversion of the health care centre into classrooms for now, is temporary pending the completion of a block of six classrooms project.

“Practically, apart from classrooms carved out from the health centre, temporary offices for principal, vice principal are also being carved out.’’This, to a great extent, kept the school going as far as academic activities are concerned,pending the time appropriate authorities provide the required infrastructure.

”We are also very grateful for the provision of borehole which has been the main source of water supply for the school.”

Meanwhile, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chieftain in Kuje, Henry Ugbaja, said the lawmaker had served the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) meritoriously without bias.

He said: “Aduda has served the people of the territory without minding tribe or religion.

“He has not discriminated against anybody in the FCT and that is why we stand by him any day any time. “Aduda has carried out laudable empowerment projects, including the construction of roads and installation of solar light in the territory.” Ugbaja noted that one of the roads in Lanto, Kuje Area Council, facilitated by the lawmaker had given access to over 25 churches and mosques.

Politics / FG – Politicians Can No Longer Devaluate Voters by Chiomaboniface: 10:08am On Apr 07, 2023
By Thav Tv

Muhammadu Buhari, the President of Nigeria has made it known that the 2023 elections proved the growing strength of Nigeria’s democracy and the sophistication of the Nigerian voter when it comes to the choice of leaders. On Thursday, Buhari’s media aide, Malam Garba Shehu, stated that the president made the remark when he hosted the newly-installed Emir of Dutse, Alhaji Muhammad Sunusi, who visited him. President Buhari therefore urged all politicians not to ever look down on Nigeria’s election process and that politicians will b more difficult and strict henceforth.

Buhari noted that failure by 10 sitting governors to get elected into the Senate showed that there was no longer a guaranteed route to power and the voter is truly the king when it comes to choices.“It is a testament to the maturity of our democracy and to the amazing sophistication of the voter.“What shocked me was that the ordinary citizen who was usually underrated made the point of his political understanding of things.“Assumption is always that you are governor for eight years and you go to the Senate to crown the career. “No one should underrate the Nigerian voter anymore. Politics will be more difficult, henceforth,’’ the president observed.

After listening to the emir who listed projects executed in Jigawa by the Buhari administration and requested for more, the president promised to do his best for the state in his remaining time in office. He also pledged to brief incoming-President Bola Tinubu on the requests made and noted that the particular problem of water shortage in Dutse was worrisome.The president told the emir and his entourage that he and the nation would continue to miss his friend, the late emir, Alhaji Nuhu Sunusi, saying that he would continue to pray for the repose of the deceased.

The traditional ruler also lauded the president for the restoration of peace to the state, to the entire country and to neighbouring countries that had suffered past insecurity. Emir Sunusi earlier welcomed the upgrading of the Army Battalion in Dutse to a full military Brigade and requested the president to address the acute water shortage being experienced in the Jigawa capital.

By Thav Tv

Nigerian Street-pop sensation Portable has previewed a new single after his release from Police custody. Portable was arrested on the evening of Friday, March 31, 2023, after the expiration of the 72 hour-ultimatum given to him to honour the police invitation. This followed an incident captured in a video that has gone viral where the singer was seen fending off police officers deployed to effect his arrest at a recreational centre he owns in Ogun State.

Prior to the video that was posted online, Portable was seen raining curses on the officers, who he claimed had no justification for storming his business centre without a prior invitation. The arrest was inspired by the petition by his former signee Manny Monie who claimed Portable invaded his studio and destroyed his recording equipment while also assaulting him. The singer was arraigned in court yesterday, April 3, 2023, on a six-count charge bordering on assault and theft of someone’s musical equipment. He was granted bail in the sum of N300,000 with two sureties in the same amount. The court ruled that both sureties must have landed properties near the court.
