Nigeria is experiencing hard times, some people refer to the situation as
trying times. This feeling is borne out of the current state of the economy
under the one year old administration of President Mohammadu Buhari –
who took over power from Otueke-born Goodluck Jonathan. Goodluck
Jonathan belongs to the PDP – that has steered the affairs of the Nation
for 16 years. President Buhari assumed power after his fourth shot at the
Presidency. His party, All Progressives Congress, has been PDP's main
opposition before they clinched power with a mantra of CHANGE from ex-
President Jonathan's “Transformation Agenda” One year down the lane,
Buhari's administration has not been rated so well by the Nigerian
populace because of the not-so-good economy, coupled with some Ministers
with great flops their ministries.
Below are some funny names these Ministers are being addressed:


1. Minister of Travel - Chibuike Amaechi – The former governor of Rivers
state is Nigeria's Minister of Transport. Since his assumed the ministerial
role, he has been travelling up and down with President Mohammadu
Buhari, with no remarkable activities in his sector.


2. Minister of Darkness – Babatunde Raji Fashola – Fashola is Nigeria's
Minister of Power, Works and Housing. The former of Lagos state is in
charge of Nigeria's three powerful sectors. Lately, Fashola has been
described as the Minister of Darkness, considering the terribel state of
power supply in the country – worse than the previous administration.
Recently, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator and the Chairman,
Senate Committee on Domestic Debt and Loans, Shehu Sani lashed out at
him for the darkness being experienced across the country. Sani described
the drop in power supply as unacceptable and embarrassing. He called on
President Muhammadu Buhari to rethink his way towards appointing a
Minister who is not only an electrical engineer, but who has the knowledge
of the industry. Also, few days ago, a Channels TV Presenter was spotted
using Power bank on air – a testimony of undependable power supply.


3. Minister of Padded Budget – Udoma Udo Udoma –
Udoma is the Nation's
Minister of Budget and National Planning.
Udoma has been described as
the Minister of 'padded' budget, considering the imported figures and
manipulations into the 2016 Appropriation Bill.


4. Minister of Lies - Lai Mohammed –
Alh. Lai Mohammed is Nigeria's
Minister of Information and Culture. Before his appointment, he was the
Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress. Lai has been
described as a Minister of Lies beause of his defence manner of dealing
with issues, even when reasons are obvious that things are not working
well. Mr. Mohammed was a bone in the in the throat of the Peoples
Democratic Party before his party, APC took over federal power last year.


5. Minister of Hard Labour -
Chris Ngige is the Minister of Labour and
Employment. Nigerians say there has been nothing from Ngige other than reports that he allegedly collapsed while defending the budget of his ministry before the House of Representatives’ Committee on Labour. More so, the manner of street-wandering by Nigerian employed youths make his
appointment questionable.


6. Minister of Subsidy – Ibe Kachikwu .
Ibe Kachickwu is Nigeria's Minister
of Petroleum.
Kachikwu has been referred to as the the Minister of
Subsidy because of the recent increment in the pump price of Petrol, from
N86 to N145 following the removal of fuel subsidy. Kachikwu claims that
the removal is needful for the deregulation of the downstream sector, but
some Nigerians' grief is that it should not come when all is not well with the Nation.

Truly, Nigerians are groaning under Minister of Power, Babatunde Fashola.

Yesterday, the Senator Shehu Sani blasted the ministry most especially DISCO for distributing darkness to Nigerians despite introduction of new electricity bill.


This Channel television photo is a confirmation of such groaning and national embarrassment to the country under President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

The presenter was actually using a power bank during a programme.

In Napoli, Italy, Anatolia Vertadella, a 101-year-old woman, has given
birth to a nine-pound baby, named Francesco, after a controversial ovary
transplant widely criticized by medical professionals because of her
advanced age.
The illegal and controversial surgical operation was done in a private clinic
in Turkey, where European laws on ovary transplants do not apply.
According to the centennial mother who does not wish to disclose the name
of the clinic where the operation was undertaken, “I am very grateful to
all the team of doctors who decided to go on with the operation,” she
admitted in tears. “I am so grateful to have given birth to my 17th child.
This is a true blessing and a testament to the power of the creator,” she
told local reporters.
“For so long, I have felt useless to God, I could not procreate since I
turned 48 years old when I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. For a long
time I believed God was punishing me for only bearing 16 children, but in
his godly generosity, he has granted me with fertility once again,”
acknowledges the century-old fervent Catholic.
Although he admits the procedure is highly controversial, Dr. Alexandro
Popolicchi believes the ultimate decision was up to his patient to make.
“Who am I to judge if it is the proper thing to do? She has given birth to
a beautiful baby and this miraculous birth is definitely a gift from God!”
he told reporters.
“The operation was completely legal in Turkey and
undertaken by a handful of expert surgeons. The lady is in
great health for her age and I predict she has still a many
good years in front of her to share with her child. So many
children are born in this world unwanted or by accident. Is
it not a beautiful thing to know this child comes to life in a
loving home?” he asked reporters.
Although Miss Vertadella’s husband has passed away
since 1998, the century-old widow has managed to find a
sperm donor to make the birth possible. “I met Francesco’s
father on the internet while trying to find a father for my
child. This 26-year-old man is a Catholic and that is all that
is important to me.
“I wanted my child to be born in a union sanctified by the
Catholic Church. I know we are not married and that he will
not play a part in Francesco’s life, but I have written to the
pope to ask his absolution. I have also named my child after
the pope in his honor and so I believe he should find a place
in his heart to forgive me in this particular situation. I still
love my deceased husband and desire to stay a widow until
I leave this earth, but I needed the seed of this young fervent
Catholic to fulfill God’s will,” she explained.
The world’s oldest mother was previously believed to be
Malegwale Ramokgopa, a woman born in South Africa in
1839 who allegedly gave birth to twins three days after
celebrating her 92nd anniversary on October 3, 1931.

so turkish parliamentarian also fight like their Nigerian counterpart
A Turkish constitutional committee meeting descended into chaos when a verbal argument between the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and oppositional Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) spiraled out of control into a brawl. If you are not automatically redirected, click here. The feud is believed to have been sparked by a comment from Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ who blamed the pro-Kurdish HDP for instigating a similar scuffle on Thursday. The remark immediately drew the ire of the HDP’s MP Garo Paylan who labeled it “slander”. The deputies who were captured on video can be seen exchanging punches, standing on the tables and throwing water bottles at one other. At the center of the debate stand proposed amendments to the country’s constitution, aimed at stripping Turkish lawmakers of legal immunity. The motion is viewed by the HDP as an attempt by the authorities to pave the way for the prosecution of opposition MPs. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been accusing HDP of ties to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). In its turn, HDP blames PKK for an ongoing crackdown on the Kurdish population in the southeast of the country which the government has been conducting since August 2015. The previous round of punches prevented lawmakers from debating the legislation, meaning the meeting had been rescheduled for Monday. The Thursday row took a violent turn after LHDP rejected the amendments and demanded that the government withdraw forces from the embattled country’s southeast where it imposes strict curfews and allegedly deploys heavy artillery against the civilian population in a hunt for Kurdish militia fighters.

Afeni Shakur Davis, mother of late rap legend Tupac Shakur who was the
subject of one of his most iconic songs and who oversaw his posthumous
legacy, has died. She was 69 years old.
Marin County deputies responded to Shakur’s home in Sausalito, Calif.,
Monday night after she suffered a possible cardiac arrest, the sheriff’s
office said Tuesday morning. She was taken to a local hospital and died
just before 10:30 p.m.
Shakur, born Alice Faye Williams, changed her name when she moved to
New York City and joined the Black Panther movement. She and other
party members were arrested in 1969 and charged with conspiracy to bomb
multiple, busy city landmarks.

what does the Leadership newspaper mean by this type of cartoon?

dasparrow:
Sentiments aside. She said the truth. As long as you choose to criminalize gay people, you are going to send them underground. It is the same problem the black american community are facing in America. Black Americans for the most part detest homosexuals and treat them badly. This gave birth to the down-low culture. In other words, black men who are gay and will go and date women, even marry them and then still have sex behind their backs with fellow men. Some of these black men started infecting these women with all manners of STDs/STIs.

It is common knowledge that once you criminalize people, they go into the closet. They don't stop what they are doing, they just do it in secret. There are many Nigerian men and women who are married to members of the opposite gender but continue to have intimate relationships with members of the same gender. Criminalizing homosexuals will not stop homosexuality. It will only drive it underground, that's a fact.

so what you mean is that STDs/STIs only going from gay to straight?
homosexually is totally bad in it entirety no matter how many people do or support it
supporting doesnt make it right
even in some countries prostitution and abortion are allow but are they ryt?

evegran:
So, because she has said the obvious truth which you don't clearly agree with, automatically makes her a lesbian?

Your IQ is alarmingly low!

bird of the same feather what else do i expect

you and her that have high IQ are reasoning like extremely lower animal

homosexuality is never right no matter how sweet it and how you brand it

#animalIQ

shaybebaby:
This is the aftermath of criminalising homosexuality. Those two are gay but obviously cannot be together publicly because of the society.
In order to keep up the pretence, innocent people like the wife and her mum would not have to deal with not only cheating spouses but gay ones as well.
If you will not let them be peacefully in public, na this kin stories Dey happen.

just openly say your a lesbian and you support it not masking your inner being by this kind of comment

homosexuality is a crime and that how it will be here in nigerian if u dont like it that way goto d animal kingdom (dog and goat)

waow

this is what happens when you choose beauty over character

how news are reported nowadays

congrat

FP please so that people should see the scam called ITF and how to sort this out

I did my IT (industrial attachment) about two years ago and before we proceeded to the training we were asked to update our bank details so that a certain amount of stipend will be paid to us ON or AFTER the training but its been two years now since we finish IT and no alert whatsoever with any name similar to ITF, UNITF, POLYITF, MONOITF or anything close to it, onfor or on behalf of ITF.

when i asked some of my collegues and those that have done the training in the recent past whether they were paid during their own training. some said they can't remember and some bluntly said NO but none ever agreed that they were paid.

then i start to wonder why were we decieved into believing that we will actually be paid and they never kept the promise or were we actually paid but the school never remitted it to us? or has they been any change that we are not aware of yet.

although the money may not mean much to some students, but certainly it is a life saver to many others ( students understand what i mean).

So if anybody has been paid before please let me know and also let me know the situation in your own school

where are the Zombies?

well mr. lai lie will soon come and put the blame on jonathan
