Hope it stays this way for govt workers, recently it seems private job is better than govt as per early salary payment

Wetin dey remain d same, 90% of govt workers are yet to pay.

FG shld supply high class innoson cars to our lawmakers and after thier tenure, they shld return them to IVM for a new set with token instead of spending billions for BMW or Toyotas.

The Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, has appointed oil tycoon, Folorunso Alakija, as Chancellor of the Osun State University, Osogbo.
The governor, in a statement by his spokesperson, Semiu Okanlawon, said p‎ursuant to the provisions of clause 5( of the first schedule to the Osun State University (Establishment) Law, 2006,
Mr. Aregbesola is privileged to appointment Mrs. Alakija‎ as the Chancellor of the University. The appointment, which according to the statement, takes immediate effect will be for a period of five years.‎
The statement noted that statute 3(1) (a) and statute 5 of the Osun State University Law (2006) provides that the University shall have a Chancellor, who shall, in relation to the University take precedence before all other members of the University and when he or she is present shall preside at all meetings of Convocation held for conferring degrees, diplomas, certificates and other awards.‎
Mr. Aregbesola, while congratulating the new Chancellor, said Mrs. Alakija’s antecedent and sterling qualities as a God-fearing woman, a person of honour, integrity and successful business woman would no doubt impact positively on the running of Osun State University.
The governor pointed out that the government of Osun would look forward to a great working relationship with the new Chancellor as she leads Osun State University, Osogbo, to a new height of excellence.‎
“‎I wish to inform you, that the investiture is expected to hold during the 4th Convocation ceremony of the institution, proposed to come up on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th February, 2016,” read a letter, which Aregbesola reportedly directed to Alakija.‎

While congratulating you once again, please accept the assurance of best regards of the people and Government of Osun”.

The statement said in her acceptance letter addressed to the governor, Alakija said: “It is with pleasure that I receive and accept the appointment as the chancellor of the University of Osun State. I pray for God’s grace and strength to execute my duties as Chancellor of the University during my five year tenure.” ‎

At least 13 people were killed on Wednesday when three suicide bombers blew themselves up in the northeast Nigerian town of Chibok, where Boko Haram kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls.

The blasts happened at about midday (1100 GMT) as the remote town in Borno state was packed with traders from surrounding villages for the weekly market, Chibok elder Ayuba Chibok told AFP.

“Ten died on the spot and another one died on the way to hospital,” said health worker Dazzban Buba, who volunteered to treat the injured at hospital.

“A woman and a child died as they were being admitted (to hospital), so now the death toll stands at 13. Thirty others were injured, 21 critically.”

The blasts bore the hallmarks of Boko Haram, which has repeatedly hit “soft” civilian targets such as markets, mosques and bus stations as well as military and civilian vigilante checkpoints.

Chibok came to prominence in April 2014 when Islamist fighters stormed a boarding school and kidnapped 276 girls, causing global outrage.

Fifty-seven girls managed to escape in the immediate aftermath but 219 are still being held and have not been seen since they appeared in a Boko Haram video in May that year.

Chibok was briefly overrun by the Islamic State group-allied rebels in November 2014 but recaptured by the military after several days.

Ayuba Chibok and Buba both said Wednesday’s blasts were suicide attacks and had prompted terrified residents to lock themselves inside their homes or flee in fear of repeat attacks.

Buba said the first explosion, at a checkpoint where people coming into the town were being searched, was thought to have been carried out by a young boy.

But identifying the attacker’s age was difficult, as only his legs were recovered.

The second, at the market, and a third nearby were carried out by women, he added.

– Lull in attacks –

Buba said he rushed to help his brother who was injured in the first blast in the Bamzir Road area of the town.

The second blast happened shortly afterwards, fitting a pattern of Boko Haram suicide attacks with multiple bombers setting off their devices almost simultaneously.

But Buba said it was still unclear whether the third bomber deliberately detonated her explosives or whether the device was triggered when troops opened fire as he fled.

The 30 injured were mostly suffering from burns and fractures, and that nine had been discharged, he added.

President Muhammadu Buhari, in Kenya on a three-day state visit, made no direct mention of the Chibok attack at a memorial service to commemorate Kenyan soldiers killed by Shebab militants.

But he told the congregation: “Terrorists should not have a place in our communities, villages, towns, cities and countries.

“We must all rise against the culture of intolerance, hatred and extremist ideologies, which drive terrorism.”

Recent weeks have seen a lull in Boko Haram attacks, with only three recorded in Nigeria this month but those that have occurred underline the difficulty in protecting hard-to-reach rural areas.

The insurgents raided a village in Yobe state on Sunday, killing one man, while on January 11, another raid in the Adamawa state town of Madagali left seven dead.

Seven people were killed in a raid and suicide bomb attack in Izgeki village on January 5. Gunmen also looted food and burnt a large part of Nchiha village near Chibok earlier the same day.

On December 6, there was a similar attack in Takulashi village, also near Chibok, which again saw fighters raid food and steal more than 200 cattle.

Buhari on December 24 declared the rebels were “technically” defeated but at least 66 people were then killed in raids and suicide bombings in the days following.

According to an AFP tally, more than 1,650 people have been killed since Buhari came to power in May last year, vowing to crush the insurgency, which has left at least 17,000 dead since 2009.

On Monday, 32 people were killed when at least three suicide bombers blew themselves up at a market in Bodo village in northern Cameroon.

Lolzzz. We don enter ham. Asiri ti n tu

Malaysia-based popular Lagos Yahoo boy, Hope Olusegun Aroke, popularly called H-Money and referred to as “Oracle to gba ise wole,”has been sentenced to 24 years imprisonment by Justice Lateefa Okunnu of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja, for his involvement in an internet scam that fetched him N25million.

The major song which set the tone for this abnormal norm was rapper, Reminisce’s 2012 hit “2 Mush” where he praise-sang his’waya waya’ fans hailing him…”H Money Honorable to’n gbe ise wole.”

The 25-year old is an undergraduate of Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University, Malaysia. He was arraigned by EFCC on a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence, cheque cloning, wire transfer and forgery. The court found him guilty of the two charges and sentenced him to 12 years imprisonment on each of the two counts.

Trouble came for Aroke when an anonymous petitioner wrote to the EFCC alleging that the Kogi-born undergraduate was involved in online fraudulent activities. The EFCC investigated the internet dealings of Aroke.

Investigations showed that he was involved in several romance scam that fetched him N25million. Hope admitted sending the money to Nigeria through a person identified as Angela, who later helped him deposit in a bank.

He was arrested at the 1004 estate, Lagos Island and 2 Benz cars valued at N23 million were recovered from him. Last week, Justice Okunnu ruled that the sentence should run concurrently.

Meanwhile, Hope has two other matters yet undecided before Justice B. Idris of the Federal High Court Lagos.

According to Sahara Reporters, some notable Nigerians who served under Goodluck Jonathan had several businesses and properties linked to them in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
See the list below

Governor Ayodele Fayose owns a house in Dubai

Senate Minority Leader and former Akwa-Ibom governor has a plush home in Dubai linked to him

Former First Lady, Patience Jonathan has three properties in Dubai as well as several businesses

Many Nigerians on social media are happy that the anti-corruption war of this administration is yielding results but many are also of the opinion that the war is one-sided and only focusing on the political opponents of the President and his allies

That was on Nairaland as well and people shouted to high heavens . Because Sahara Reporters said so does not make it authentic news either. My post was not about [b]PDP or APC. lets stop being gullible and partisan to a bunch of people that dont care about us. [/b]

Thanks dude.

When it was sold at N50 did people even get it at that rate?
Even if ppl sees it at 83 it's even good.

Na u ask question and na u answer am.

NOI can't be easily shaked.

Onisokuso.

So how N50 is to be used for una furniture allowances every year while we use 1 chair for 6 yrs and more, our N50 is to be used for thier clothing allowances, exortic vehicles and other while we drive one car for 7yrs. It is well God is watching and he will punish all of them with stroke and funny death at the end.

The truth has been told.

I can smell his loneliness approaching. Cos the north can't stand by you for long.

We want open trial with the documentary shown on a big screen for us to see. Bubu shld even declare a public holiday so we can all see the thieves.

IPOB brought this nonsense upon themselves. They shouldn't blame anyone but themselves. Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB have given the Nigerian army a reason to be in igboland. I hope you enjoy the hospitality they have to offer.

Ogbeni there has been army barrack in the town long time ago so this barrack isn't created because of the agitation. Army shldnt flex it's power on civilian when there is misunderstand and stop talking like u don't knw hw nigeria army behave.
