Gunmen Kidnap Hotel Owner In Oyo An hotel owner at Omoloju in the Iseyin area of Oyo State, Mr. Dejo Ajuwon, has been kidnapped by gunmen on his farm at ‘Serafu’ village along Moniya-Iseyin road. According to security sources in an interview with Vanguard on Thursday evening, the case was the second of such at the Serafu village in the last month as a friend to a farm owner close to the village was also abducted in early December last year and the sum of two million naira ransom was paid before his release. Mr Ajuwon was said to have relocated to Iseyin, his hometown, after his retirement from active service to establish his farming and hospitality businesses for almost a decade. Worried about the spate of kidnap incidents at the ‘Serafu’ village and the farm settlements there, residents in Iseyin have challenged the police and other military authorities to comb the village and settlements around the area to get more intelligence reports about the operations and possibly make arrests. As of the time of filing this report, there has been no communication from the kidnappers to know their demands. Efforts to get police reaction to the incident proved abortive as the state’s Police Command spokesman, SP Adewale Osifeso’s mobile number was not reachable. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/01/just-in-gunmen-kidnap-hotel-owner-in-oyo/amp/

After May 29, I’ll Be Far Away From Abuja To Avoid Problems — Buhari President Muhammadu Buhari on Christmas Day said he will retire to his Daura hometown, Katsina State to rest from the rigours of office and to avoid problems, when he exits from office on May 29, 2023. President Buhari stated this while hosting residents of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, who paid him Christmas homage at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Speaking at the homage, the President said, “Thank you very much for taking your time to come and visit me and I congratulate you on this great day (Christmas). I have promised a lot of my colleagues that I will try and be as far away as possible from Abuja when I leave the office so that nobody can create any problems for me anymore. “I will be in Daura, which is on the border with the Niger Republic and I think in spite of technology, I will be safe enough there.” He expressed his appreciation to Nigerians for trusting, supporting and giving him the opportunity to serve as their leader. He told the delegation, led by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mohammed Bello that while campaigning for President in 2003, he took his time to visit the 774 Local Government Areas of the country and he got overwhelming support from the people. He used the occasion to once again assure Nigerians that he will not stay in office a day longer that the stipulated time of his tenure in office. “I thank God that before the 2019 elections I went around the whole of the States and in 2003-2011, I went to all the Local Governments in this country and I thank Nigerians, the people who turned up in every Local Government were more than what anyone can buy. So, I was pleased with the way Nigerians highly treated me and accepted me. In five months’ time, I will happily retire according to the provisions of the constitution of the country and go back home,” he added. Speaking earlier, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and leader of the delegation, Mallam Mohammed Bello, said it has become mandatory for a delegation of residents of the seat of power to pay homage to the President during festivities like Christmas and Sallah because he is the Governor General of the FCT. He said, “It is not surprising to pay such visits because constitutionally, as the Governor General of the FCT, you are also the head of the administration of the FCT but you have graciously delegated that to me. Today marks a milestone for us because in 2020 and 2021 we could not pay such visits due to the emergence of coronavirus.” He wished President Buhari long life and a successful retirement as his tenure gradually comes to an end. According to him, “This also presents the last Christmas that we are going to have an opportunity as residents of the FCT to come and pay you homage because in five months’ time, your tenure would have ended and the next Christmas will be under a new President. “So, we use this opportunity to thank God almighty for having made it possible for us to witness several Christmas celebrations under your leadership. I wish to also on behalf of the entire residents of the FCT, wish you well and pray for God almighty to grant you long life, and a useful and healthy retirement in the next few months. We want to also extend our appreciation for what you have so far done for the country.” President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, who was represented by the Vice President of the Association, Rev Stephen Panya-Baba, thanked God for sustaining Nigeria’s unity, as he praised President Buhari for working hard for the progress of Nigeria. “We want to reassure you that in the twilight of your administration, the Christian community is fully in support of you and praying that God will bless your effort and that this desire you have to see that the sufferings of the citizens of this nation are alleviated, will begin to yield fruits. “We are not unaware of the challenges that you continue to face especially security challenges which have become a very persistent problem in our nation today we are praying and we have not given up hope and we want to encourage you to continue doing your best and we believe God will one day intervene and do what man cannot do.” He also prayed for successful and peaceful general elections across the country next year. The highlight of the event was the presentation of a giant Christmas card by the FCT Minister to the President on behalf of residents of the Federal Capital Territory. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/12/after-may-29-ill-be-far-away-from-abuja-to-avoid-problems-buhari/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwi-xPP_1ZX8AhV0TKQEHbdRBR8Q0PADKAB6BAgHEAE&usg=AOvVaw1eV2JLbWmxR3e-yBqg4cqH

My Daughter Doesn’t Want To Live Outside Nigeria, She Came Back, Saying She Can’t Work In UK- Obi The Labour Party’s presidential candidate for 2023, Peter Obi, expressed his joy that his daughter, Gabriella Nwamaka Frances, decided to work as a teacher in Lagos due to the state’s low crime rate.

Best Christmas Gift Ideas For A Good Boss Christmas present shopping for your male boss might be difficult, especially when he is the type you don’t know well outside of your workplace. You probably have no idea what he loves or hates, and finding a suitable gift for him will be a good thing for you to do. In this piece, there are 5 things you can present to your boss at Christmas. 1. Wristwatch: Wristwatches are durable and long-lasting. They’re one of the only gifts that can be worn on a daily basis. When you’re gifting your boss, there’s no greater satisfaction than giving them something you know they’ll love and use. 2. Perfume: Gifting your boss perfume passes a message across to him that he is special and valued. This is because perfume is a product people don’t buy often. 3. Neck tie: A necktie is a classic gift and the centrepiece in men’s fashion today. Your boss will appreciate a long or bow tie. 4. Shirt: There are various types of shirts you could get your boss. Men can go with a Cuban collar shirt, overshirt jacket etc. 5. Books: Leaders are continuous learners, always looking to explore fresh ideas. That’s why I’m often asked to recommend good books for bosses, and also books make great gifts because they can be thoughtful, and sometimes also thought-provoking. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/12/best-christmas-gift-ideas-for-good-boss/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwit45CHxYv8AhUxTaQEHQanDh8QFnoECBUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2Er4T9ayIDQxae7VbwWtt7

How To Enjoy Christmas On A Low Budget Christmas is a time of jolly and merriness, a time to spend with friends, families, and loved ones. Making it quality and memorable does not come via mere words, but money. And in light of the economic condition of the country, many will be out to spend their Christmas on a budget that fits into their finance. Here are ways you could spend your Christmas without having to break the bank: Plan Ahead: When you plan ahead on how you want to spend your Christmas, you get to cut down on impulsive and unbudgeted spending that could be way beyond your financial capacity. But planning ahead makes you consider your finance and ensure that you are not getting things or doing things out of impulse. Cook Home-Made Food: When you operate on a low budget for Christmas, the idea of eating out should be jettisoned as cost-wise, it is on the higher side than that of home-made food. Trade Materialism for Memories: Instead of going for material things, invest more in creating memories. This does not cost an arm and a leg and even lasts longer than any material things you can get. For instance, you can put on the clothes you have instead of getting a new one, and spend some quality time with families and friends, as opposed to buying the most expensive clothes and not spending time with anyone. Travel/Invite Friends and Family: Having a company still makes for the best avenue to enjoy Christmas. If your friends and families are close by, this is one of the best times to spend with them, catch up on the year and celebrate, in your own little way, the reason for the season. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/12/how-to-enjoy-christmas-on-a-low-budget/amp/

2023: It is not easy working with Aisha – Peter Obi cries out Peter Obi, the presidential flag-bearer of the Labour Party for the 2023 election, on Wednesday said that it is not easy working with persons like socio-political Aisha Yesufu, because “instead of calling you ‘Your Excellency’, they will be arguing with you”. Obi said this during an interactive section with students in Calabar, Cross River State. Yesufu is an open supporter of the Labour Party candidate and has attended several campaigns with the former Anambra State governor since he kicked off his rally in October. “It is not easy working with people like Aisha, instead of calling you “Your Excellency” they will be arguing with you but that is what is needed in Nigeria,” Obi said. Also, speaking to the students at the town-hall meeting, Obi harped on the importance of education. “Don’t ever call education a scam. It is an investment you should be proud of,” he said. https://openlife.ng/2023-it-is-not-easy-working-with-aisha-peter-obi-cries-out/amp/
