Nigeria would have needed an agricultural revolution, sooner or later.

BENIN CITY – GOVERNOR Godwin Obaseki of Edo
State and the National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie
Oyegun, were Tuesday received awards from the
Association of Deans of Agriculture of Nigeria
Universities (ADAN) for their contribution to the
development of agriculture in the country.

This comes as the National Chairman of the APC,
attributed the current recession hitting the nation
as the handiwork of God, acknowledging that the
situation has forced government at all levels to
invest into agricultural asserting that the nation
will be one of the biggest exporters of farm
produce in the next two years.

He disclosed this at the 61st Annual General
Meeting of ADAN, which held at the University of
Benin (UNIBEN). According to Chief Oyegun, “I
want to emphasis that the APC is totally
committed in developing agriculture as the back
bone of the Nigerian economy. A lot of ideas have
been thrown out, there is no country on the planet
that does not subsidize agriculture. So we have
been living in this fool’s paradise that government
does not subsidize agriculture for its people.

“United States of America which is the greatest
economic power, guarantees and pays farmers to
produce. Even things that they don’t need. So we
have come to that because the price of a barrel of
oil has today dropped from 50 dollars per barrel.
Projections for the future is not very encouraging,
most developing nations now concentrate on
renewable energy, we have not gone beyond
exporting crude.
“Today agriculture has become the Cinderella and
we are committed to making it an alternative
source of income. I am happy that twice that I
have been in this chambers, it has to do with
agriculture. The chairman of the LOC made it
quite clear that may be God in his kindness has
forced us into a situation where we now have to
think, where we now have to reason, look back.
“It is no longer a matter of choice that we must
divert to agriculture infact it is unforgivable that
we behaved stupidly without vision for so long.
Agriculture is about 70 per cent of our growth and
if we can generate even a 3 per cent growth ,
which marches the rate of our population growth
then you would have stabilized the whole vision.
“ But if you can make it 4 per cent, 5 five per
cent, you would have changed the living standard
of the majority of Nigerians. Agriculture is a big
business that we can profit from and we thank
God for bringing us to this state” he stated.

Dino fighting back.

Some electorate in Kogi, have approached a
Federal High Court in Abuja to declare the return
and swearing-in of Alhaji Yahaya
Bello as the
governor of Kogi as null and void
The suit, number FHC/ABJ/C3/535/ /2017, was
filed on June 16 before Justice John Tsoho of the
Federal High Court 3, Abuja, according to
documents made available to newsmen on
Tuesday in Lokoja.

Mr Michael Elokun, Mr Ibrahim Sule and Mrs
Hawa Adamu , all registered voters in Kogi are
the electorate suing Bello on behalf of over 1.2
million registered voters in the state.
Other defendants in the suit are: the All
Progressives Party (APC), Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) as well as the Minister of
Justice and the Attorney-General of the
Federation.

In the originating summon supported by a 19-
paragraph affidavit, the petitioners are asking the
court to remove the governor on grounds that he
is not a registered voter in Kogi.

The petitioners also urged the court to remove
Bello on the grounds that he was not validly
nominated in writing to contest the 2015
governorship election by any registered voter in
the state.

They contended that this was in accordance with
Section 32 of the 2010 Electoral Act as amended.
Elokun, Sule and Adamu want the court to affirm
that since Bello was not a registered voter in
Kogi, he could not be nominated for any elective
position or be voted for by the electorate in the
state.

On this premise, the petitioners are asking the
court to declare as null and void the declaration
of Bello as the winner of the governorship election
held in the state in 2015 by the INEC.

No date had been fixed to hear the suit.

AKA looking nice. Bet why is no one complimenting Badoo? bet why?

See hating oh!
Yes, we agree her dad made it easier for her. But what of Dangote's daughters? What about your own father's daughter?
Instead of hating, why not work hard to make life easier for your kids - if you have any.

FP in the making.

FFK. Do you also believe that PEJ would have been a better president than the weak and incompetent GEJ?
I have lost all respect for FFK. He also condemned GEJ back in 2013. He was one of the foremost users of the phrase "weak and incompetent".
He is just a cynic who loves to talk and tell you what you want to hear. But many pro biafrans are being ignorant.

People that their parents are spending money to see them through school.

Olamide is steady on the decline path. He no longer releases chart topping songs & club bangers, even his glory album wasn't much of a success.
He sure needs a hit single; he can't keep living on his past GLORY .

I am not trying to downplay or belittle the alleged threat, but I have heard Nnamdi Kanu say the same even if not worse. Everyday war keeps brewing as a result of different agitations in parts of the country.
When unrests like these happen there are bound to be audios such as these - some are released for the sake of it, others in a bid to heighten the tension.

Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of
Justice​, Abubakar Malami, on Monday​ appealed to
the Federal High Court in Lagos not to release a
five-man gang who allegedly imported 661 pump-
action rifles into the country without lawful
authority.

Defence counsel, Yakubu Galadima, Godwin
Okaka, Olumide Oyewole and Adamu Ibrahim, had
brought bail applications for their clients, promising
that if they were released on bail they would not
abscond but make themselves available for trial.
Oyewole told the court that his client was ill and
needed medical treatment, showing a medical
report issued by the Isolo General Hospital.

But the prosecuting counsel from the office of the
AGF, K.A. Fagbemi, while opposing the bail
applications filed by the accused, told the court that
it would not be healthy for them to be released into
the society on bail.

Fagbemi, who noted that one of the five accused
persons was still at large, argued further that it
was not even healthy for the court to release the
other four on bail as their lives might be at risk.
“He’s still out there. He could be a risk to their own
lives. It’s one of the grounds that the defendants
should not be granted bail for their own good,”
Fagbemi said.

The accused – Mahmud Hassan, Oscar Okafor,
Donatus Achinulo, Matthew Okoye, said be at large,
and Salihu Danjuma – had been arraigned by the
AGF on June 14 for allegedly importing 661 pump-
action rifles into the country without lawful
authority.
They were arraigned on eight counts before
Justice Ayokunle Faji, who ordered that they should
be remanded in the prison custody after they had
pleaded not guilty to the charges.

After entertaining arguments from the counsel,
Justice Faji adjourned till July 6, 2017 for ruling.
In the charges, the AGF said the accused brought
661 pump-action rifles into the country from
Turkey through the Apapa Port in Lagos, using a
40-feet container, which they falsely claimed
contained steel doors.
To facilitate the illegal importation, the accused
allegedly forged a number of documents including a
bill of lading, a Form M and a Pre-Arrival
Assessment Report.

According to the prosecution, in order to evade
payment of customs duties, the accused allegedly
forged a bill of lading issued at Istanbul on January
9, 2017, falsely claiming that it was issued at
Shanghai, China.
In the forged bill of lading, they allegedly filled
“steel door” as the content of the container instead
of rifles.
They were also said to have allegedly offered a
bribe of N400,000 to an official of the Nigeria
Customs Service attached to the Federal Operative
Unit to influence the said officer not to conduct a
“hundred per cent search on the 40-feet container
with number PONU 825914/3.”

The prosecution also alleged that the first accused,
Hassan, corruptly gave N1million to government
officials at the Apapa Port in order to prevent the
search of the container by customs officials.
In the last count, the federal government alleged
that the defendants had between 2012 and 2016
illegally imported several double-barreled
shotguns, pump-action rifles and single-barreled
shotguns into the country through Lagos.
The eight counts pressed against them border on
conspiracy, importation of prohibited firearms,
forgery, uttering of forged document.

The National Caretaker Committee of the
Peoples Democratic Party and the ruling All
Progressives Congress, on Monday , engaged
in a war of words over the search of former
Vice- President Namadi Sambo ’s residence in
Kaduna by security agencies .

The PDP believed the ongoing war against
corruption by the President Muhammadu
Buhari administration would fail .
It said the way the anti- graft programme was
being carried out indicated that it was not
designed to be successful.

The Publicity Secretary of the Senator Ahmed
Makarfi -led caretaker committee, Mr . Dayo
Adeyeye , who spoke with The PUNCH on the
telephone on Monday, accused the Federal
Government of having a predetermined
motive to deal with members of the
opposition parties , especially the PDP , with
the programme .

He said there was no way the programme
would succeed when it was apparent that not
every Nigerian was being dealt with in the
same measure .
The former minister alleged that the partiality
in the implementation of the programme was
also responsible for the loss of many cases
instituted against individuals on charges of
corruption in different courts .

Adeyeye , a former Minister of State for
Works , wondered why the Buhari
government had also refused to either probe
or charge to court members of the PDP who
had defected to the ruling APC.
The factional PDP spokesman added , “It is
obvious that the anti- corruption war is
targeted at members of the PDP alone. That’ s
why it is not working.

“ How many members of the APC, including
those who were members of the PDP before ,
had been charged to court with corruption
even though they were holding sensitive
positions before?
“ The Federal Government under President
Buhari is only interested in persecuting
members of the PDP .
“ This government is deceiving Nigerians by
claiming that it is fighting corruption. The
motive behind it is evil and that ’s why the
war is failing.
“ How many convictions has the government
recorded so far ? Buhari and his government
just want to silence the opposition because
they know that they are not doing enough to
ameliorate the sufferings of the people .
“ I want to assure you and the Nigerian
people that such (trying to silence
opposition ) will fail. Opposition won ’t die
under this regime . ”

Adeyeye urged the members of the
opposition not to be disappointed and
intimidated , assuring them that there would
be light at the end of the tunnel .
“ Nobody can kill the opposition in this
country. It has never happened before and it
will not happen now, not even under a non-
performing regime like the one we have
now ,” he added .
But the APC said if the PDP tolerated
corruption during its tenure, the ruling party
had zero tolerance for graft .
The National Publicity Secretary of the APC,
Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi , said this in an
interview with The PUNCH in Abuja on
Monday .

He also dismissed allegations by the PDP that
the anti- corruption war of the current
administration was targeted at members of
the opposition.
Abdullahi , a former Minister of Sports , said,
“ You cannot accuse someone who did not
have access to public funds. It is people who
had been politically exposed who certainly
had a greater opportunity to get involved in
corrupt practices in the last four years.
“ You cannot accuse people who were not in
government of corruption. Naturally, it is
people who were in government that could
be accused of corruption.

“ When people are accused of corruption, they
are not simply thrown into jail ; you will still
undergo trial . If they are found not guilty,
they don’t need to be afraid, because all this
anti- corruption fight is still taking place
within the provisions of the law. ”
Abdullahi added, “ Anybody who is not guilty,
need not to be afraid. No amount of
rephrasing that the fight against corruption is
targeted at the opposition will remove the
fact that people behaved inappropriately
with public finances.
“ If Makarfi or any other person knows of any
APC member who was in the PDP
government and was undergoing trial and he
was left alone because he became an APC
member , they should let us know. If the
party they belong to has a higher tolerance
for corruption, we don’t .”

The cross dresser went further :

The ongoing fight between Tunde Ednut and
Bobrisky almost seems like a publicity stunt as
the two of them have been hilariously attacking
each other on social media for a while now.
In a new one this evening, the singer accused the
male barbie of being involved in the suspicious
hacking of his Instagram account and the latter
responded, saying he was not interested in
whatever Ednut had to offer. Lol. See more
screenshots after the cut...

It not about zombiesm. Falz never mentioned nice in the interview.
Fans made 9ice the scapegoat and they made Falz look like "the bad guy" . Many people out of neglect failed to watch the interview, which made them believe 9ice was mentioned.
Falz, out of respect, had to do this so as not to spark a feud or beef.

See as she pose for the last pics oh!

Vlogger accidentally poisons
herself on livestream by eating a
plant she mistakenly thought was
aloe vera



A Chinese vlogger accidentally poisoned herself
live on camera. Ms Zhang, 26, was doing a live
stream for something she termed "Aloe Vera
Feast" in a bid to promote the benefits of eating
raw aloe vera when she bit off a part of alarge
plant, unaware that she was consuming Agave
Americana, a poisonous plant. The video of the live
show has been circulated online by various
Chinese website.

At the beginning of the video, Ms Zhang is heard
saying "yum" and "this is great' in her local
language. As the clip progressed she complained
about the taste, saying: "That's bitter... that's
really bitter."

Soon after, things took a turn and Zhang realised
there was a problem. Her mouth went numb and
her throat felt as though it were on "fire". She
ended the live stream then and went to the
hospital where she was told by the doctors that
she had been eating Agave Americana, not aloe
vera. The doctors also told her she was lucky to
have arrived at the hospital quickly enough, else
the consequences would have been grave.
Ms Zhang is reported to be in a stable condition
now.
