olokeded: Here is another reason for Nigerian senators to be angry with Hameed Ali, a retired colonel, heading the Nigerian Customs Service as Comptroller-General.
The Compliance Task Force that Ali set up has just impounded 223 vehicles, 13 of which belong to a senator in Kano state.
The Task Force Zonal Commander, Mr Bala Dole, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kano on Monday.
He said the vehicles, belonging to the unidentified senator were; 12 new Toyota Hilux and one Land Cruiser Jeep.
Dole, who declined to name the said Senator, said the 13 vehicles were trailed from Maigatari in Jigawa, following an intelligence report, indicating they were smuggled into Nigeria via land borders.
“Based on the intelligence report, the vehicles were 30 in number but we were able to trail 13 of them 12 of which were hidden in the senator’s compound.
“We sealed the house and retrieved the vehicles and they are now in our custody,” Dole said.
The identity of the senator will remain a guessing game for now.
There are three senators representing Kano State.
They are Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Kano central; Barau Jibrin, Kano North and Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya, Kano South. All are representing the All Progressives Congress.
The task force also said that it seized other items, including foodstuff worth N269.5 million in Kano and Jigawa states within eight months.
The items included 9,757 bags of rice, 2,916 of foreign supergetti, 2,770 cartons of foreign vegetable oil and 999 cartons of macaroni.
He said others were; 889 veils of second hand clothes, 50 used school bags, 110 cartons of new foreign shoes, 956 bags of mosquito coil and six fairly used cars.
“The total value of the seizure made by the task force since it was established in July 2016, excluding the 13 Senator’s vehicles, is N269.5 million.
“We are yet to determine the cost of the 13 vehicles belonging to the Senator“.

LivingHuman: Nigeria's economy has climbed out of recession, according to world economics.
World Economics is an organisation dedicated to producing financial analysis, insight and data relating to questions of key importance to the world economy.
Information on its website reads;
"March Sales Managers’ Index (SMI) data suggests that the Nigerian economy is starting to grow out of the recession which saw 10 months of consecutive contraction. The Market Growth Index grew to 53.5 in March as the monthly Sales Growth Index edged up to 51.3, its highest value since March 2016. It is too early to speculate if the recovery is built on solid fundamentals for a sustained recovery but the changes reflected are not insubstantial. Price inflation for March, which is tracked by the Prices Charged Index, remained high at 61.3 - and indicative that very high levels of inflation continue. Overall, conditions in Nigeria have improved over the past month and managers are expressing optimism that the economy will continue to grow".

Vickiweezy: A Yoruba lawyer working in UK wrote to his wife in Nigeria.
Ajoke Darling, I can't send you my salary this month because the global market crisis has affected my Company' s performance, so I am sending 100 kisses. You are my sweetheart, please understand and adjust with this situation. Your loving husband, Kunle
His wife replied... Thanks for the 100 kisses. Below is the list of expenses I paid with the Kisses... 1. The Rice man agreed on 2 kisses for half bag of rice. 2. The electricity man, Kabiru , agreed not to disconnect only after 7 kisses. 3. Your landlord Mohammed comes every day to take 2 or 3 kisses instead of the monthly rent. 4. Supermarket owner Biodun did not accept kisses only, so I gave him other items, I hope you understand. 5. Miscellaneous expenses 40 kisses. Please don't worry about me, I still have a balance of 35 kisses and I hope I can survive the month using this balance. Shall I plan the same for the next month? Your Sweet Heart, Ajoke

PrettyCrystal: Here's a trending footage of a South African pastor inciting his congregation against Nigerians and Ghanaians. The pastor can be heard ranting how Nigerians only advertise penis enlargement products to South Africans. According to him, he believes that Nigerians offering penis enlargement drugs and services to South Africans is an insult.
He said he wonders why foreigners like Nigerians could tell South Africans that they need penis enlargement as he seemed angry that South African government could tolerate foreigners trading in penis enlargement and abortion.
The South African pastor said the womb of a woman is God's workshop. Thus, committing abortion means destroying the work that God is doing on the woman.
The pastor also said that if he meets anyone with penis enlargement product, he will kick the person's teeth out with his 'sharp nose' shoes. He also said if anyone like that has visited his church, he/she should stand up and leave.
