The so-called Jackson Ude should be smoked out and made to face the music for this fake news. To allow these good-for-nothing idiots to go away with their false accusations unscathed must stop. No nation move forward with fake news. Useless guys everywhere

My neighbour has A1 in that. From gas cylinder to pestle to buckets to water hose and the list goes on and on and on. She's a pain in the neck

The military junta in Niger Republic will further impoverish their people. How can a country that depends on aids to survive now feed her people when the aid is no more available. This is a country that witness little rain throughout the year. In the next 2 months, the people will see the folly they brought upon themselves.

Congratulations to our beautiful ladies. More wins for you all in your quest to reach the top

Don't get to America and begin to badmouth Nigeria ok? There's no place like home. Always pray for Nigeria to be better

Because of the fraud they perpetuate daily, they wouldn't want to resign. None of them has less than 20 houses each in Abuja. The country is bleeding seriously through mismanagement of our resources

Real fact

Ride on, the newly elected chairman of the ruling party in the most populous black nation on earth

You are right. No Nigerian man will marry a lady with empty brain whose only asset is her milk industry and stinking hole

Mad men everywhere!!!

Government must provide security first for the people and not behaving like throwing them under a moving bus. When government shows practicality with action, people will come out to do their businesses. The sit-at-home affects the people more than the government. Chikena

President Bola Tinubu has appointed Jim Obazee as a Special Investigator to probe the activities of the Central Bank of Nigeria and other Related Entities.

In a letter dated 28 July, seen by PREMIUM TIMES, Mr Tinubu said the appointment of Mr Obazee, relying on the fundamental objective set forth in Section 15(5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria(as amended), was in furtherance of his administration’s anti-corruption fight.

The appointment is with immediate effect and Mr Obazee is to report directly to the President.

According to the letter signed by the president, the full terms of Mr Obazee’s engagement as a special investigator will be communicated to him in due course.

Mr Obazee is a former chief executive officer of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN).


Specific directives
President Tinubu specifically directed Mr Obazee to take immediate steps to ensure the strengthening and probity of key Government Business Entities and block leakages in the CBN and related GBEs.

He also directed the special investigator to provide a comprehensive report on public wealth currently in the hands of corrupt individuals and establishments (whether private or public).

Also, the president directed Mr Obazee to investigate the CBN and related entities using a suitably experienced, competent and capable team and to work with relevant security and anti-corruption agencies to deliver on the assignment.

Mr Obazee is expected to brief the president weekly on the progress being made concerning the assignment.

In the letter, President Tinubu directed Mr Obazee’s attention to his directive to suspend the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, on 9 June.

The suspended CBN boss was arrested in his Lagos home by operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) a day after his suspension by Mr Tinubu. He was then flown to Abuja.
The SSS is prosecuting him for possession of an unregistered firearm and the Federal High Court in Abuja granted him bail last week.

The SSS, shortly after the bail was granted, re-arrested him on the court premises leading to an altercation between some officers of the security service and that of the Nigerian Correctional Centre who attempted to whisk him away to their custody.

The secret service is yet to publicly state the reason Mr Emefiele is still being detained despite being granted bail by the court.

Super Falcons Defender Michelle Alozie Talks to FIIFA About Her Dual Passions for Medicine And Soccer.

eing a professional athlete is tough. It involves long days, large amounts of travel, and the physical toll that comes with pushing your body to the limit. Strenuous, too, is medical research.

Spending long hours poring over papers; conducting countless trials that may or may not yield useful results; keeping up-to-date with the ever-changing world of medicine. Now imagine doing both.

That is the reality for Super Falcons defender Michelle Alozie, who spends her morning training with Houston Dash in the NWSL and her afternoons at Texas Children’s Hospital as a research technician studying acute leukemia and cancer.

“I’ll probably be done with training around 1pm,” she explained to FIFA. “I’ll head straight to the children’s hospital, get there around 1.30pm, probably have our team meetings, and then just go about my day until about 5pm.”

Alozie’s genuine love of both football and medicine shone throughout the interview. Passion is the reason that she is able to sustain two careers at once.

“It’s crazy to think about,” she explained. “It’s not necessarily a field that I thought I was going to find myself in but it is so amazing to be able to have an impact on children’s lives. Childhood cancer isn’t something that’s researched that much. Being able to be a part of that and be a part of that research is just such a blessing.

“I have a passion for helping people. Thankfully biology was something that I was really good at in school and so medicine just seemed like the correct option there. Again, it’s just amazing to meet these young kids that I’m helping find a cure for their cancer. It means everything to me.”


The defender explained that she was born to play football, but grew to love medicine. “I have been playing soccer since I was four or something like that and, being Nigerian, soccer, or football, is really just in our blood,” she said, smiling. “But I just have this fascination with medicine and I know it’s a career path that I would love to be in when I can’t run on the field anymore.”


Needing to find time for more than one career is a situation familiar to so many female athletes. Doubt does creep in on occasion for Alozie, but she never forgets her ‘why.’

“I think sometimes I might feel like I’m not doing enough for either soccer or in my research lab,” she reflected, “but I think I’m overall just really grateful. I know that it’s two of my passions and what makes it really worthwhile is that I just love doing both of them. So being able to do them simultaneously, thankfully with both of my jobs, it’s amazing and really just a blessing to be able to live my passion and my childhood dream.”

Of course, it has not always been easy for the Nigerian international, who is determined not to let down her coaches or Dr Alex, her boss at Texas Children’s Hospital.

“I think at first it was definitely a little bit difficult to balance the two,” she admitted. “But honestly, just growing up being an athlete, we learn to balance pretty young in life. It was kind of easy after a while.”

“In the next few years I’m not really sure – the role isn’t something you’re in for a long time – but I just know that I want to be in medicine and continue that career once I’m done with my soccer career.”

Michelle Alozie obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Molecular Biology from Yale University. Her degree has given her the skills to conduct her work as a researcher, but it doesn’t give her the right to be called a doctor… yet.

Not that it stops her team-mates from coming to her with their medical issues.

“I feel like any time something happens, if there’s a little injury, if someone gets knocked, if their stomach hurts, they come to me!” she laughed. “I’m like, ‘Guys, I’m not a doctor, I actually don’t know what’s going on internally with you!’”

That doesn’t mean that studying medicine and obtaining the title of doctor is off the table. On the contrary, it is very much in her long-term plans.

“I’m definitely going to play soccer until I literally cannot run anymore! I know medical school will always be there and it will definitely be there when my bones are brittle,” she grinned.

“Hopefully in a few years they can actually call me Dr. Alozie. But now I just need to be Michelle.”

It is a drama that portrays the reality unless you choose to live in delusion.

Go and arrest hundreds of thousands of police men robbing people daily on the road.

Going ahead to prosecute him is you the police scoring an own goal. 80% of Nigerians already don't see police as their friend. Prosecuting him means the numbers will go much higher.

You are absolutely right but it is not only 80% that doesn't see police as their friends but 99.99%. It is only their immediate family members that benefits from their corruption that still like them

Skyview01:
With all these evidence, why has FG not secured a judgement against him.? Why?

For me, MNK is mentally unstable and i am surprised at the people who take him serious.

Pray that you don't fall into the trap of any government. They have all the evidence to nail him but will not. They just want him to spend his time in perpetual detention. Unfortunate for KANU, he picked on the wrong person that's now Nigeria president. We may as well forget him in detention

When an old man talk without thinking, this is what they get. I believe he must have learnt his lesson and will be a good ambassador of his people henceforth. Therefore, I will implore the state government to drop the charges against him and let him go home and suck

He knew he can't win that's why he made that statement. Obi never proved to the tribunal that he won the election. Why can people so daft like this? Mchewwww

Congratulations baby girl. Finding true love is the answer. Wishing you a glorious future in the path you have chosen

I do not support the sealing of shops. Why didn't the officials carry out the acts without security men? Government should do the needful by providing security and not going about locking people's shops. What have they done to those that lost their loved ones in the recent attacks?

PSG just paid him back with his arrogance by consigning him to a 3 world league. Mpape will be shut out of publicity. His adviser never saw this coming. You don't bite the finger that feeds you

Ecobank should Appeal the Judgement. There must be a very tangible reason for Ecobank to freeze the account.

Read this from the judgement given in favour of Ecobank "Ecobank had been granted an ex parte order to freeze Honeywell’s accounts in an attempt to wind up the company over its liabilities to the bank.

The ex parte order was granted with the condition that Ecobank would indemnify Honeywell’s over any losses."

Ecobank did not indemnify Honeywell during the period they freeze Honeywell account, hence, the reason why Honeywell went to bank to get judgement in their favour

Any man that love his wife, trust his wife and care for his wife must learn how to do things together with that woman. I pray nothing happens to the man, if the man dies, it is members of his family that will send the woman parking from her husband house because of property. None will think that she gave birth to 3 boys for the man. For future and security sake, the man didn't do well by buying land with his name only. I built 2 properties with my name and that of my wife. This breeds trust and love. When the Man's family sees that he does things together with his wife, they know that they can't try any funny things with the woman even after his death. We've been hearing of stories of family members chasing away women from their matrimonial homes because of property. Let the man go and make amends. You are on course madam

Nope, this is not the real hell, it is the 1st stage of hell. But if you survive it you will make heaven by doing good, fear God and love your neighbour

So after demolishing 80% of his predessor's legacy projects, it remains to be throwing tantrums at the Federal Government? Where are the SME's in Kano state that wants to get the lion share of palliatives against the south's large enterprise spread? We are seeing how he's doing his own"empowerment" less than 100 days in office. He who lives in a glass house does not throw stones.

God bless you for your constructive statement. After chasing hundreds of SMEs out of his state, he's now trying to weep up sentiment against the federal government led by PBAT. Where was he when former minister of finance was spending billions to feed imaginary school children during COVID-19 lockdown. Now that a government that knows that it is the southern part of the country that contribute most to the economic growth of the country with a lot of SMEs, hence, deserves the palliatives, won't they do the right thing? We all know that whatever goes to the north will end up the pockets of their leaders

One thing is sure, their greediness will make them lose customers. Why won't I use the excess charges they will collect from me for transportation to the nearest ATM ? Nobody will tell them to crash the rate when they are not making reruns like before

PDP has lost their voice the day they jettisoned the zoning formula. They have seized to be the opposition party due to the selfish behavior of their leaders. The present leaders of the party cannot rebuild the party except they leave the stage to the younger generation

It is wrong to open fire indiscriminately, whether on a moving vehicle or a running culprit. The vehicle's number can be noted or they make a comeback to the area. How will they explain the death of this innocent and promising son of the land? Our armed security men must never throw caution to the wind when chasing criminals as innocent souls may be hit. My condolences to the family affected. NDLEA must take care of the hospital bills of the affected children and pay adequate compensation to the victim's family

The generation of this Abayomi of a boy will never know peace and progress. The troubles you brought on innocent investors will visit you here on earth. Wicked soul

It is so unfortunate unfortunate that some irredentists are bent on destroying the name of this country everywhere they go, while some are making Nigeria proud through their dints of hard work. Death penalty must be reintroduced for drug trafficking to reduce the number of people that never wanted to make money through the right business. Enough of this show of shame

Did Pastor adeboye school in UNN? I thought he schooled in ife and unilag.

Pastor Adeboye schooled in UNN but couldn't finish his 1st degree there because of the civil war.

It is the normal norms for new government to start with condemnation o their predecessor. Abia new government is no exception. It is high time they get serious with good governance and leave petty matters out of it
