Ecstasy154: The population of the world hits 7.7 billion, the United Nations Population Division said on Monday.
According to the World Population Prospect released by the UN on Monday, the medium-variant projection indicates that the global population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050, and 10.9 billion in 2100.
The fine data also shows that males outnumber females in Nigeria, and the world as a whole, negating the popular belief that women outnumber men in the West African country.
“The world’s population is projected to grow from 7.7 billion in 2019 to 8.5 billion in 2030 (10% increase), and further to 9.7 billion in 2050 (26%) and to 10.9 billion in 2100 (42%). The population of sub-Saharan Africa is projected to double by 2050 (99%),” the report read in part
“Other regions will see varying rates of increase between 2019 and 2050: Oceania excluding Australia/New Zealand (56%), Northern Africa and Western Asia (46%), Australia/New Zealand (28%), Central and Southern Asia (25%), Latin America and the Caribbean (18%), Eastern and South-Eastern Asia (3%), and Europe and Northern America (2%)”.

9jahotblog: The problem of Nigeria is in the west. They know Buhari is incompetent but still supported him to power. The richest Nigerians are in the North, the poorest Nigerians are in the North too...
The west understands the politics of Nigeria....Hausas made Obasanjo come as the president. Yoruba's did same for Buhari.In 2023. the north will return the power to the west.....The East should continue with their poliyics iof isolation..All is well
Edithfavourite: Here is a video of the moment some INEC hired consultants were training INEC adhoc staff on how to transfer the election results to INEC server with the card readers before the 2019 election.
. Please go and start it....The Federal government is ready.....The winner between 1966 and 1970 civil war will win again....It will be a walkover now for the federal government troops....Anybody who ate his cake would not have it again...... My concern however is when it starts Ohaneze who could not win for Atiku would run away for the Federal Government troops.The masses in the East will suffer again as they did in 1966.

1. You cannot reap where you did not sow.
2. Don't play bitter politics.
The story has been told of Seribo Adelabu, a 63-year-old SSII student who is pushing wheelbarrow to pay his SSCE fees. According to a report, a sixty-three years old Mr. Seribo Adelabu, who enrolled as a Junior Secondary School, JSS, student in 2014 at Izon College, Bomadi-Overside, Bomadi Local Government Area, Delta State, has returned to his former job of wheelbarrow pushing to raise money to complete his education.
Adelabu, presently in Senior Secondary School, SSS II, who started his academic voyage at 58 years because of what the agony of being an illiterate had caused him, came into public limelight when NDV reported his uncommon determination in 2016.
Some Ijaw people in Diaspora, especially those in United States of America, came to his aid by paying his tuition in JSS II and sent him some money. It appears, however, that the assistance was a temporary sensation as after the preliminary intervention, everybody went back to his tent leaving Adelabu to fend for himself.
Adelabu, who is preparing for his Senior School Certificate Examination, SSCE, next year, confirmed that he actually went to wheelbarrow pushing because things were getting difficult for him.
His words: I have to continue with my wheelbarrow pushing job to enable me continue in this academic journey.
“I want to thank our Ijaw brothers and sisters in the Diaspora, especially those in the USA, for paying up my tuition fees when I was in JSS 11; l also thank them for the money they sent for text books and upkeep.
“I want use this opportunity to once again appeal to them that it has been very tough and rough for me since after that gesture. I appeal to our Diaspora brothers and sisters that I am still in need of their help, now that I am preparing for my final year exams: West African Examination Council, WAEC, fee is pending.
“As I said before, after my graduation from here, I will proceed to Teacher Training College, TTC, after which I intend to teach pupils.”
The school authorities, speaking through the Education Committee chair, Chief Pius Oloye, noted that the school management had to encourage the elderly student to enable him achieve his academic dream.
Oloye said the primary aim of Izon College was to help less-privileged children in riverine communities, hence it charges minimal school fees. The Elders Council of the school, speaking through Prince Shell Mubogha, Chief Samson Bakpor and Mr. Frederick Biribiri Dude, said the pains Ijaw child went through in rural communities caused the establishment of Izon College.
They said:
Quote
“We thank the Ijaw community in USA for their benevolence to our student and we appeal that they should also encourage the school in its efforts to acquire a parcel of land for a permanent site.
“We also use this medium to renew our appeal to our exalted brother, Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin, to help us achieve our aim of lifting the Ijaw child out of darkness.”
. This is a person that needs assistance People assisted a girl with free education because she was beaten in school what about this determines man?... I appreciate you sir
Correctgist: Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that the President Buhari-led government is driving Nigeria towards “disaster and instability”.
Obasanjo said this in an exclusive interview with Premium Times at his Ibogun Olaogun ancestral home in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State, last month.
The former president fell apart with Buhari ahead of the 2019 general elections and endorsed the president’s closest rival and his estranged vice president, Atiku Abubakar.
Speaking during the interview, Obasanjo noted that although the country has made considerable progress since the new dispensation began in 1999, the pace at which it is currently moving shows the nation may be inching towards disaster and instability.
“I think we have no choice but to be on the path for sustainable development. The progress we are making may be questionable Is it fast enough? Is it steady enough? Is it stable enough? Are we taking two steps forward and one step back or one step side-way? You can question that, but we have no choice but to be on (the) path for sustainable development. Any other thing will be a disaster. In fact, the pace at which we are going now is tending more and more toward disaster and instability and unsustainability.
No Confidence in the Economy’ The former president argued that there is no confidence in the Nigerian economy today. Rather, he said, the gains recorded in the past have been frittered away over the years.
Speaking on what went wrong, the former president explained that Nigeria has failed to do what is right to instill confidence in domestic and foreign investors. The ripple effect of the nation’s indecision, he said, manifests in the state of the economy. Nigeria slipped into recession in 2016 after several contractions in the economy, amidst an unstable naira and rising inflation rates. By the second quarter of 2017, the nation slipped out of recession. Although the government claims that the nation has been put on the path of sustainable growth, unemployment figures have also ballooned within the period.
. Dear Obasanjo. I did not read your message because I have a lot to do.You are irrellevant in Nigeria. What did you do for us in ur inglorious reign as president.? You created problems we have in Nigeria with your unprecedented corruption .You are not happy now because what you failed to do on June 12 to your fellow Yoruba man ihas been done by a Hausa leader.Your useless May 29 is rubbish now ni Nigeria. Even if Buhari is not perfect we will support him . If you are not happy with the situation on Nigeria you can relocate to Mozabigue and spend all our money you looted there. Finally you will remain useless in Nigeria forever and ever. Yours sincerely. Yoruba Hausa Igbo
ejimatic: Oyetola Vs Adeleke, Supreme Court Releases Panel Members, Date of Hearing The legal tussle on who governs the State of Osun between Governor Gboyega Oyetola and Senator Ademola Adeleke is getting to its peak with the release of the panel of Judges of the Supreme Court made available to SOJ WORLDWIDE online news. The date for the hearing has also been slated to commence on June 17, 2019. Official Release; (1) Hon Justice Olabode Rhodes Vivour (Chairman) (2) Hon Justice Akhas (3) Hon Hustice Paul Adam Galumje (4) Hon Justice John Okoro (5) Hon Justice Ahaugi Supreme court hearing between Senator Ademola Adeleke/PDP and Gov Gboyega Oyetola/APC is now scheduled for 17th June, 2019. May God Almighty Continues speak for our dear State.
. Justice Rhode son contested under PDP in Lagos.It seem there are other PDP oriented judges on the panel too.APC should do the needful now for fairness to all patties...However the judgement must pass the table of the of Tago Mohammed the CJN ..That is the procedure....
Abdulazeez99: The Supreme Court, on Friday named a five-man panel of judges to deliver judgement in the separate appeals by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate in the Osun governorship election, Senator Ademola Adeleke, against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Igbere TV reports that Adeleke is challenging the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Governor Gboyega Oyetola, in the 2018 Osun State governorship election.
Members of the panel are:- (1) Hon Justice Olabode Rhodes Vivour (Chairman) (2) Hon Justice Akhas (3) Hon Hustice Paul Adam Galumje (4) Hon Justice John Okoro (5) Hon Justice Ahaugi
Also, the Supreme Court hearing between Senator Adeleke/PDP and Governor Oyetola/APC is now scheduled for 17th June, 2019.
Igbere TV recalls that the Appeal Court had earlier ruled in favour of Governor Oyetola, after he had appealed the first judgement of the Election Petitions Tribunal, which ruled in favour of Senator Adeleke.
Recall that INEC had declared Oyetola and the APC the winner of the Osun State governorship election on the basis of the cumulative results of the September 22, 2018 main election and the September 27, 2018 supplementary poll.
Earlier on May 30, the PDP had won an appeal of the April 2 judgement by Justice Othman Musa of the FCT High Court, Bwari, which voided Adeleke’s candidacy for the election on the grounds that he was not qualified, having not possessed valid secondary school certificate.
The court had also declared Adeleke ineligible to contest the election on the grounds that he forged his secondary school credentials submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in 2018.
But upturning the judgment on Thursday, May 30, Justice Emmanuel Agim of the Appeal Court held that the suit, having failed to be filed within 14 days after Adeleke’s Form C.F001 was submitted to INEC or 14 days after his name was published as a candidate in the September 2018 election, the suit filed before the FCT High Court, by virtue of section 285 of the constitution had become statute-barred.
Justice Agim also held that the failure of the FCT High Court to deliver its verdict within 60 days of the filing of the suit had rendered the lower court’s judgment a nullity.
The Court also held the affidavit evidence of the West African Examination Council and result ledger attached to it showed that Adeleke was not a dropout but actually sat the May 1981 examination of the body at Muslim Grammar School, Ede.
Justice Agim held that by virtue of section 177 of the constitution, by merely taking the examination and without passing any paper, Adeleke was qualified to contest the governorship election.
He, therefore, faulted the claim that Adeleke forged the West African Examination Council (WAEC) certificate he presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to secure clearance for the gubernatorial election.
have decided not to comment on Osun matter until after supreme court rules on the matter. but I am compelled to say one or two things now in support of the comment of my brother who has manifested his wisdom and maturity unlike many on nairaland who are uncultured and uncouth in their approach to issues and comment on matters.I have said it several times that Nairaland is for exchange of ideas and opinion not a platform for political bigots thugs and gangsters many of whom are not known by neither Adeleke nor Oyetola and will never benefit #1 from the APC or PDP in Osun State.The Osun matter will be decided by Supreme court.However the supreme court judgement is not perfect.In the words of justice Kalu who was former CJN "litigation must end somewhere and in Nigeria it is at the supreme court.Even if there are errors in our judgement at the supreme court it is the final and the errors can be corrected in heaven" If the supreme court judgement can be erroneous I wonder why some people are still political fanatics and psychologically disturbed on Nairaland.To such ones only God can deliver them from their immaturity and uncivilised behaviour. With due respect to educated mature and intelligent people on Nairaland , June 17 is important in the Osun crisis.It is a day both APC and PDP will present their cases .Supreme court will give a date for the final judgement after the hearing. In some cases judgement may be given that day while details will be given later especially if there is time constraint as stipulated in the constitution. The apex court will decide what is suitable. Additionally I expect the Supreme court to discuss on many issues in relation to Tribunal and appeal court judgements.Some of them will be highlighted later on this platform in due course.Till then all those interested in Osun matter should be tolerant to one another ,listen to one another's opinion and ideas even if they are different from yours. Remember the apex court will decide on it and whether erroneous or just it is final.

Tareq1105: Ray Power Political platform is a time to condemn every step taken by Buhari. Look at AIT Ijeoma Democracy Today or what sef, showing daily at 7.30pm. Very unfair program to Buhari government.
You can't compare it with Seun Okinbaloye Channel TV Politics Today where he always invite Apc and Pdp to maintain balanced defence.
Daar Communication should be apolitical. The staff should be reorientated and watch TVC Journalist Hangout Babajide.
AIT should stop carrying out the pilot dictates of Dokpesi. If Dokpesi was such a good leader as you people claim, why has PDP denied him position in all his contest.
First, he resigned from Daar Communication to contest Senatorial, he lost.
Secondly, he wanted to be PDP Chairman. He was the only one that visited the 36 states with TV cameras following him everywhere but what did he get for the trouble? Failure. Secondus was picked.
Dokpesi should have a rethink because he's above 70.
. balanced assessment. AIT should work on objectivity and balanced programme presentation....It is not thee only private station in Nigeria.NBC regulation must bee followed.
HeWrites: Former presidential candidate, Oby Ezekwesili, has attacked the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission (NBC) after it suspended the license of Daar Communications Plc., owners of Africa Independent Television (AIT) and Ray Power, Igbere TV reports.
Igbere TV reports that NBC Director-General, Modibbo Kawu, announcing the suspension on Thursday, said the action was taken for failure of the broadcasting station to abide by the broadcasting code.
Nigerians have appeared unimpressed with the sanction, calling it an attack on the media.
Ezekwesili, a former education minister, said on Friday via Twitter with an attached copy of NBC sanction letter to AIT, that the commission wants AIT to be like the state-owned Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) in its approach to matters concerning the government.
“My Summary of this lengthy Sanctions letter from NBC to AIT is simply this: ‘We have warned you several times in the past to stop broadcasting things that upset the Government and NBC. You refused to listen. Now we shall shut you up and down until you are ready to be like NTA’.
“There is nothing in that letter from NBC to AIT that reaches the threshold for withdrawal of license and shut down of a Media house that we all know Government perceives as an ‘Opposition media’.
Wisdom should have actually instructed the FG against striking out at them,” she said.
. This woman is a comedian who only wants identity in Nigeria.When she was the minister under Obasanjo was NTA then different from NTA now?NTA is for the federal government while the AIT is owned by a person.All State radios and TVs are for for the government..NBC is thee regulator.If a report is not balanced and objective ..NBC must take. action
They targeted every media house not in support of islamization agenda of BUHARI and APC
. I respect your opinion but as a person I am yet to understand the concepts of Fulanisation and islamitisation of Nigeria with its tribal and linguistic complexities .No man can achieve that....It is an exercise in futility.
Udantu: A Federal High Court in Abuja has reversed the withdrawal of operating licence of the Daar Communications PLC over alleged breach of broadcasting code. Justice Inyang Ekwo on Friday ordered the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, the Attorney General of the Federation to revert back to state of affairs before May 30, 2019. Justice Ekwo asked the parties to appear before the court on Thursday, June 13 to show cause why the motion on notice challenging the action of the regulatory agency should not be granted. In an ex parte application brought by its lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), Daar PLC operators of African Independent Television (AIT), Raypower FM, Faaji FM and Daarsat had on Thursday asked the court to order status quo ante bellum pending the determination of the main suit. ADVERTISEMENT The NBC had in a letter dated May 27, 2019 accused Daar of breaching the Nigeria’s Broadcasting Code with its Kakaaki and other programmes and subsequently withdrew its licence. In the suit against the NBC, the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, the Attorney General of the Federation, Daar claimed that it had since the licence of its television and radio stations been conducting its operations in line with Section 22 of the 1999 Constitution. It therefore asks the court to make an order “restraining the defendants from blocking, jamming, stopping removing from air and/or interfering with the air waves of the plaintiff/applicant (Daar Plc) in any way and manner however called from invading the premises of the plaintiff/applicant (Daar Plc) or closing down, viet armis, the said premises, its operations or broadcast services, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed along with this application.” Enumerating grounds for the action, Daar Plc said the defendants had on April 16 in a Gestapo-style invaded its premises and pulled down two buildings and gates leading to its operational office in Asokoro, Abuja worth millions of naira. Related Licence withdrawal: AIT seeks court's order restraining FG DAAR Communications laments over NBC fines NBC pursuing agenda to shut our stations - DAAR Communications Dear Esteemed reader, As part of our drive to keep improving the content of our newspaper, we are conducting a readership survey to enable us serve you better.
. why are Channels and TVC not shut down? Answer: Both still strives to maintain objectivity though not in a perrfect way..Unlike the two AIT is owned by a PDP stalwart and its presentations are anti government.
many journalists have become politicians with their sponsored articles and based live presentations on radio and TV. Only media houses that have NBC approvals should bee allowed in.
The Poorest and worst Seenate in the history of Nigeria.The Senate that thought money would be stolen and shared any how as they did in Obasanjo and Goodluck eras. Buhari disappointed them all. This was thee Senate that was founded on selfish interest and it ended abysmally....All those who made life difficult by not Working for masses in the 8th Senate will not find rest in their life..Nigerians say Amen!
Besti45: The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has expressed concerns over the constitutionality of Nigeria’s representation by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) meeting in Saudi Arabia. It also said the Federal Government should listen to the wise counsel of former president Olusegun Obasanjo on the alleged West African Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda instead of resorting to attacks on his personality.
It raised issues about the unconstitutionality of Nigeria’s membership of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the rush to attend its meeting by the President. In a statement issued on Saturday by President of CAN, Rev. Dr. Samson ‘Supo Ayokunle, the Christian body said the “truth is evident” for those who care to see the danger of Obasanjo’s warning except those who are either part of the agenda or are just being mischievous.
The statement signed by the Special Assistant (Media & Communications) to CAN President, Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, said it was regrettable that despite opposition and outcry over the unconstitutionality of Nigeria’s membership of the OIC, the president deemed it fit to jet out of the country immediately after being sworn in to attend such a conference as his first assignment.
“This is an organisation which states it is ‘the collective voice of the Muslim world’ and works to “safeguard and protect the interests of the Muslim world in the spirit of promoting international peace and harmony”. Are the government officials listening to those who voted them into power at all? Is the government not heating up the polity?
“We all remember how Nigeria was smuggled into OIC during the military. We wonder if the President is ready to attend the meeting of the World Council of Churches or be asking the Vice President to represent him whenever the members meet,” it said. On the attack on Obasanjo over his position on alleged Islamisation and Fulanisation of the country, the Christian body said it was not good for the government to rein abuses or pour venoms on our former leaders whenever their thoughts are critical to the government’s action or policies.
It called on the federal government to pay keen attention to Obasanjo’s thought-provoking position rather than disparaging him. “We appeal to the Federal Government to listen to Obasanjo on his counsel over the alleged West African Fulanisation and African Islamisation agenda instead of resorting to disrespecting him and misinterpreting his noble warnings to the nation,” it said.
CAN regretted that while the likes of Obasanjo are treated as honourable statesmen and institutions in developed nations like the United States and the United Kingdom, they are antagonised and vilified at home. “This is not only unfortunate but exposes us as a people that have lost their moral values. Obasanjo sacrificed a lot for this nation in order to make it one and great! He deserves respect and his pronouncements should be treated with caution.
The truth is evident for those who care to see the danger of Obasanjo’s warning except those who are either part of the agenda or are just being mischievous. When the perceived genocide started in Southern Kaduna, how many of the suspected herdsmen involved in the barbaric attacks were arrested by the security men? How many of them have been detained and are being prosecuted?” CAN stated.
On the order to mop up legally held guns, CAN said that the federal government must be seen to be acting in the interest of the generality of Nigerians and not protecting or preserving a section of the country. CAN accused the relevant security agencies of not doing enough to deal with the alleged killings and kidnappings by bandits and herdsmen, adding it smacks of bias on the part of federal government to appear to be defending and advocating for a group being accused of spearheading the atrocious incidents.
. Arabic inscription is on Nigerian currency..what is CAN doing on that?What did useless Obasanjo do to it when he was the president? Please go and sleep
Orezy5: The tension that ravaged the campus of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Ile-Ife, Osun State, for a couple of weeks, over threat of a bloody attack by cultists, has subsided with the arrested of leaders of Vikings Confraternity (VC) of Oduduwa University, Ipetumodu.
A gang of cultists, under a pseudonymous “Cultists of Aloha clan” had threatened to invade OAU campus today (Saturday, June 1) “to rain bullets of death, sorrow and grief on innocent students”.
This threat caused panic on OAU campus and many students fled while those remained on the campus were apprehensive of their safely.
OAU management reacted to the threat in a statement, signed by the Public Relations Officer of the University, Mr Abiodun Olanrewaju, in which he assured that security agencies were on top of the situation.
The issue had been trending online with the hashtag “#WinterInOAU”, putting parents and guardians of the students in fears.
A top security operative told Daily Trust that: “There is a strong heat between OAU students and the cultists of Oduduwa university and a threat letter was issued by the cultists, promising to invade OAU premises on 1/6/2019.”
However, the tension seemed to have subsided with the arrest of the leader to the dreadful cult gang on Friday by the Anti-Cultism Squad of the Osun State Police Command.
A senior police officer told our correspondent that “security networking was utilised by men employed by the Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Ige and they have arrested four leaders of Vikings Confraternity”.
. OAU authorities should tighten security. The press release is not the solution.We should remember July 10 1999 attack. This is how it all started then....Students and staff should be fully protected every day. .....
The judgements did not discuss the genuiness of his cerificate or the completion of secondary school.Only technical issues were discussed...We. await the opinion of legal oracles at the supreme court on the matter.
When I heard Ambode was not a party man I was worried.However I realised later that Party man is a politician not a technocrat.Ambode said some weeks ago that he has become a politician now in the context of Nigerians.A technocrat concentrates on construction but a politician combines construction with assisting the common man on the street in the ward and so on.A man in Nigeria has the phone no of the governor and sent a message to him that he has given birth to a baby .The governor could not go but he sent his baby gift to the father....That is a party man in Nigerian context....This is an area Ambode has realised and I hope he will return as governor as a mature man politically to support his statement.....I came in as a technocrat but now I have learnt as a politician..

abc115: All seems not to be rosy in the camp of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar following the congratulatory message to President Muhammadu Buhari on his inauguration on Wednesday by the South-East Governors’ Forum.
The Forum chaired by Dave Umahi, governor of Ebonyi state, also has in its fold, the quartet of Willie Obiano (Anambra), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Emeka Ihedioha, the newly inaugurated governor of Imo state. Apart from Obiano who is a member of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, all other four governors were elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In a paid advertorial published in a national daily yesterday, the forum congratulated President Buhari and expressed optimism in his determination to make Nigerians happier in his second term in office.
The congratulatory message read, “We, governors of South-East Nigeria, heartily congratulate the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, on this historic occasion of his inauguration for a second term in office.
“We are confident, Mr. President, that with your swearing in for another term, happier days are ahead not just for South-East but the whole of Nigeria.”
newsynews: Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, FFK, has commended former past leaders of Nigeria for snubbing president Buhari's inauguration.
President Muhammadu Buhari was sworn-in for a second term in office today after emerging winner of the 2019 presidential election. He contested on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and defeated former vice president Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
However, noticed at Buhari's inauguration is the absence of past leaders like Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar.
Reacting to their absence, FFK took to Twitter to commend them for not supporting the inauguration that came as a result of election-rigging.
. I also thank all the past leaders who stole our money and plunged us into recession and ecomic mess for not attending the handover programme today..Obasanjo and Jonathan included....
CollinsWeGlobe: President Muhammadu Buhari says those who describe him as ‘baba go slow’ during his first administration will be in for a shock during his second term.
Buhari said this during a media chat which was aired on Nigerian Television Authority.
“Those who call me ‘baba go slow’ will see whether I am slow or fast. It means I will persuade the police and the judiciary to be hard and where I uncover that they are not hard, I will find out who is responsible for the slowness in terms of command from the DPO upwards.
