Prior to completion of ongoing construction of Lagos to Ibadan standard gauge railway line by China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC), the federal government has ordered for importation of 30 locomotive engines and 300 wagons that would be used to convey passengers and bulky goods respectively. The minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, who made this known recently at Abeokuta Ogun state, during the monthly assessment of work so far accomplished by the contractor handling the project, said that government had also endorsed the importation of two sets of Diesel Multiple Units (DMU) of 10 coaches each for passengers.

According to him, the importation of the coaches, wagons, locomotive engines and DMU would facilitate carriage of goods and passengers from Lagos to Ibadan when the project was delivered by the contractors. The minister also noted that the carriage of passengers and goods by rail would not have economic impact as it would reduce heavy traffic jam and port congestion respectively. He explained further that locomotive engines, wagons and coaches were not products that can be bought off the shelf, adding that the government has to place orders for it and it takes a period of time before the products were manufactured. Managing director, Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) , Engr. Fidet Okhiria, also confirmed that “The equipment has been ordered for but we have not yet gone for the inspection.”

Those who share money are far better than those who use it to sponsor terrorists.

The Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) has thrown its weight behind the choice of national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as co-chairman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. It said the former Lagos State governor will not disappoint the party and its standard bearer, President Muhammadu Buhari, in the electioneering process for the 2019 polls, judging by his tenacity and political structure.

The BCO further disclosed that it is mobilising over a hundred of other support groups within the APC to give the Buhari and Tinubu-led presidential campaign council the support they need to garner votes for the 2019 polls. Ibrahim said, “Already, the BCO is mobilising more that 100 support groups within the APC to assist the Buhari/Tinubu-led presidential campaign council execute a successful electioneering process. We believe that Tinubu has remained a rallying point in the APC and Nigerian politics. “As one of the major architects of the merger which gave birth to the APC, he has proven that he has what it takes to stitch the torn parts of the governing party. With a unique and pungent modus operandi in politics, he commands respect in the party, which will turn out to be a big plus for the party in the forthcoming elections”.

PDP under Atiku and Obi will be a better party than the PDP of 16 years... Reason....Atiku understands Nigerian Politics while Peter Obi understands good governance... Peter Obi will be the check and balance in governance... Obi achieved that in Anambra state....he will replicate it in the federal capacity...

The Atiku plan is detailed and achievable..

For me Obi is the point man... PDP knows they need to deliver if they win. And they will win..

Wendell Simlin: American woman accuses Reno Omokri of identity theft


Mr. Omokri allegedly used the pseudonym, Wendel Simlin, in the article circulated to bloggers and journalists but the document digital signature was identical to previous documents Mr. Omokri had sent to PREMIUM TIMES.

The Califonia- based woman, Deborah Campbell, told Sahara Reporters in a series of emails and telephone conversation that her son, based in Hercules, California, is the real Wendel Simlin.

She explained that she is married to Mr. Omokri’s brother-in-law and that the president’s aide exploited the relationship to perpetrate forgery.

“I am the true Wendell Simlin’s mother here in the States. Appalled to find out my son has been a victim of identity theft, judging from the articles I recently read in your newspaper. Reno met my son after I married his wife’s brother,” she said in an email.

“There are pictures on my facebook of Reno’s wife, kids and my ex-husband Godwin Melle. He is Reno’s wife’s brother.”

Mr. Omokri, who was based in the United States before coming to Nigeria to work for Mr. Jonathan, may be soon be facing criminal charges as Ms.Campbell has promised to involve U.S. authorities if her son’s name is not cleared.

Mr. Omokri could not be reached to comment for this story. Calls to his known telephone number did not connect, and he is yet to respond to a text message sent to him.

#BBCtrending: The mysterious case of Wendell Simlin



A team of online sleuths claim to have exposed an attempt to smear the former governor of Nigeria's central bank.

Lamido Sanusi - who is widely respected in the international community - was suspended from the bank last month after accusing the government of corruption.

A few days later, a number of journalists were surprised to receive an email from an unknown man, Wendell Simlin, which linked Sanusi with the militant Islamist group Boko Haram. The group is believed to have killed thousands of people in a string of brutal attacks since 2009. But a handful of digital activists who obtained the email say it was actually written by one of the president's aides, after they found his name in a Word document attached. Reno Omokri - social media advisor to President Goodluck Jonathan - is listed as its author in the document properties.

"We just did a simple right click on the document and looked at the 'properties'," says Feyi Fawehinmi, one of the team who carried out the investigation. They also contacted a newspaper to cross reference the email with previous messages sent from Omokri himself, and the metadata seems to be a perfect match, they say.

Sanusi was suspended from the bank by the president after alleging that $20bn (£12bn) in revenue had gone missing from the state oil firm, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
