Peter Obi's World Press Conference: Peter Obi criticized President Bola Tinubu for the money allocated for the office of First Lady, Remi Tinubu

All the monies allocated to the unconstitutional office of the First Lady should be transferred to educating and caring for the Girl-Child. The first lady's job is to look after the president. Simple!

It is time for us to use money judiciously. A supplementary budget is only needed for government projects of national & critical importance like food, security etc., but where such is used to buy yachts, vehicles. It shows how uncaring this govt is. It is irresponsible.

If I were in office, no one would have mentioned the purchase of such vehicles for government officials.

President Tinubu Wants To Christianize Nigeria - Isaac Fayose Quips

The lawmaker representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, Senator Ishaku Abbo, has revealed that he sat for the National Common Entrance Examination in primary three and passed because he was exceptionally brilliant, IGBERETV reports.

Abbo made this revelation while speaking at the screening of ministerial nominees on the floor of the Senate on Monday.

Senator Abbo spoke on the screening of the nominee from Benue State, Prof. Joseph Utsev over the age of the nominee when he finished primary school.

Lawmakers observed a seeming age disparity in Utsev’s certificate. The nominee in his certificate stated that he was born in 1980 and finished secondary school in 1989.

Lagos lawmaker, Senator Tokunbo Abiru, spotted the error, stating that something must have been missing.

The Senator pointed out that according to his Curriculum Vitae, he was born in 1980 and started primary school three years after in 1984 and finished secondary school in 1989.

Intervening, Abbo clarified that he had a similar personal experience to the Benue ministerial nominee. The lawmaker said he sat and passed the common entrance examination when he was in primary three. However, he did not disclose his age or year when he sat for the exams, as he claimed that he was exceptionally brilliant.

Abbo said, “First of all, our nominee from Benue State, you see some people don’t understand some basic things. To clear the air on the issue of you finishing primary school at the age of three.

Let me tell you a personal story. I sat for the common entrance examination when I was in primary three and I won because I was exceptionally brilliant. I passed, it is all the same; winning and passing is the same.

“So, the question of you entering primary school at the age of three did not arise but when did you finish and at what level did you sit for your common entrance examination.

“You may be like me – exceptionally brilliant – but we have clear the issue because we are on national television and I don’t want people to go home and think that your integrity has been called to question.”

"Thirteen reasons Why Nigerians must not support any armed invasion of Niger Republic.

1.Ecowas armed invasion of Niger Republic is simply a war between Nigeria and Niger because of our proximity.

2.Russia and Wagner May come in support of Niger Republic and Nigeria will have to use its own money to prosecute the operation;Nigeria offsets 70percent of the budget of Ecowas.I don’t see the US Congress approving unlimited arm supplies for Ecowas to wage war against another country.

3.Our Bordering states of Sokoto,Zamfara,Katsina, Jigawa and Yobe will incur direct hit in the event of war.

4.If there was no military action to dislodge the military coupists in Guinea,Mali,Burkina Faso and Chad,why that of Niger Republic?.

5.Why did the American and French military bases inside Niger Republic refused to stop the coup and now they are encouraging us to go to war?

6.Niger has been helpful to Nigeria in the fight against terrorists groups and the country is currently hosting over 303 thousand Nigerian refugees;in the event of war this can be in danger.

7.President Tinubu should not allow himself to be pushed to initiate and trigger a war with a neighbouring country and later be left stranded.No west African country has any military capability to start or sustain a war with Niger Republic;everyone will be relying on Nigeria.

8.We should not cry more than the bereaved;If the people of Niger Republic don’t want Military rule,let them fight to remove it themselves.We fought our own military rulers and some of us even went to jail in that struggle.Let them fight their fight.

9.Saudi Arabia is still bugged down in Yemen after spending hundreds of billions of dollars which we don’t have.

10.The Military Regime in Myanmar is still there and not one stronger nation is contemplating military action.

11.We have a war at home against terrorism let’s concentrate here.

12.Mali,Burkina Faso and Guinean forces will likely enter the war to Support Niger Republic and they will attack Nigerian territories.
13.President Tinubu must continue to toe the line of dialogue with the military authorities in Niger and not War."

Nigeria's Senate President, Godswill Akpabio said salaries of members of the National Assembly were not enough to take care of demands from their constituents, IGBERETV reports

Akpabio made the statement on Monday, while contributing to the debate on a motion sponsored by Abdulraman Kawu Suleiman, member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) representing Kano South, on the need to avert impending strike planned by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).

Akpabio said lawmakers’ earnings were too inadequate to cater for the volume of requests from various constituents represented in the National Assembly.

While admitting that hardships associated with the removal of subsidy on petroleum products were enormous, Akpabio said there was need for the people to be more patient with government while steps were being taken to ameliorate sufferings of the people.

In defending his motion, Kawu said “the strike would cripple the country as movement would be severely curtailed as commercial transport operators would withdraw their services, while markets, schools and healthcare facilities would be forced to shut down.”

Kawu said the action could heat up the polity when it occurred, and the gains from the strike would be far below the costs to either of the parties in conflict.

He said,“The strike threat by the NLC, if not averted, could plunge Nigeria into deeper economic woes, dislocate businesses, hunger, frustration, more hardship that would lead to unquantified financial losses and reduce Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

“NLC strike is also a bad reputation for the Nigerian economy and the educational system because it portrays the country in a bad light to the external world and discourages foreigners from coming to do business or study in Nigeria,” Kawu said.

After the debate, the Senate mandated its leadership to interface between the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Federal Government in order to avert strike.

Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Ilebaye has disclosed that she is still a virgin at 22, IGBERETV reports.

She disclosed this during a chat with fellow housemates, Ike, Adekunle, CeeC and Cross, on Monday.

It started when Ike had disputed her virginity claims going round the house, saying she has tattoo but Ilebaye protested that being a virgin doesn’t mean one can’t party or have fun.

She said, “He [Ike] is just saying the fact that you are a virgin you can’t do some certain things.”

Cee-c chipped: “Allow him to think whatever he wants to think.”

Ilebaye continued: “No, no, no, I’m fighting for my fellow virgins out side. Even if you are a virgin, you can still do some certain things. You can still party, you can still have chat, you can still kiss.”

Meanwhile, Ilebaye has remained the most talked-about housemate of the BBNaija season 8 edition following attempts to get intimate with some of the male housemates.

Big Brother Naija star, Rebecca Nengi Hampson, has taken to Instagram to show off her hot body while she enjoys her vacation abroad, IGBERETV reports.

While some of her colleagues are in the Big Brother house for the season 8 edition tagged “All Stars”, the 25-year-old former beauty queen posed in bikinis, while enjoying her day out at the beach.

"Please fact check me.

Average tuition fees at Nigerian public universities = ₦50,000 or $65.

Average tuition fees at Ghanaian public universities = GHS17,145 or $1503.

Average tuition fees at British public universities = £9,250 or $11,900.

Average tuition fees at European public universities = €10,000 or $11,128.

Average tuition fees at American public universities = $10,400.

Yet, you are here saying 'Nigeria is finished', 'Nigeria is useless' because of an increase of tuition fees from ₦19,000 to ₦190,250 at one university?

Ghana has a minimum wage of GHS446, or $40 per month. Yet, Ghanaians pay twenty five times what we pay in tuition. Do Ghanaians earn twenty five times what Nigerians earn in minimum wage? Is fuel cheaper in Ghana than in Nigeria? I was in Ghana two months ago. Believe me when I say that you would fare better economically in Nigeria than in Ghana. Is Nigeria as wealthy as the UK, US, and the EU? Nigeria is not such a bad country. If you think the cost of education is too high, then try the cost of illiteracy!
