The 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Otunba Gani Adams, has revealed reason for wearing white garments most of the time.

He divulged this information during an exclusive interview with VanguardLive on Friday. “In 2001, people started telling me to be putting on white and I asked: why should I be wearing white when I have several other garments with multiple colours? Where will I go and put all these clothes?.

“But things were not okay for me because I didn’t change my clothe to white not until 2004/5 when I decided to give a tailor about 30 different materials (all white) to sew for me. This was how I started wearing white,” he said.

Recall Gani Adams was declared Aare Ona Kakanfo on October 14, 2017, and ever since he assumed office, he has been fighting for the freedom of the Yoruba Nation at large.

Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, said he had engaged with controversial Yoruba activist, Mr Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, over the demands made by Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and Cattle Dealers of Nigeria to lift their food blockade to Southern Nigeria.

Bello spoke to journalists late on Wednesday in Abuja after the Union made up of cattle and foodstuff traders agree to resume foodstuff supplies to southern Nigeria, following his intervention, according to Kogi Flame.

Bello who was in company of former aviation minister, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode commended the traders for calling off their strike.

Aside Igboho, Bello said he would also engage with President Muhammadu Buhari, governors and other stakeholders to ensure peaceful co-existence among Nigerians to ensure that the demands of the traders were met and to make sure that everyone embraced peace.

The governor advised the traders to be weary of people, wanting to use them to stir violence, saying that Nigeria had come a long way as a united nation.

They reached the agreement at an ongoing meeting with Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State in Abuja on Wednesday.

Abdullahi Tom, a youth leader of the cattle dealers who is attending the meeting, told newsmen that the union has agreed to shelve the strike.

Last week, the union commenced strike to protest the attack on some of their members during the #EndSARS protests and the recent Shasha market crisis in Ibadan, Oyo state capital.

Victoria Chukwube, the 32-year-old lady who wants to sell her four-month-old baby boy for N40,000 in Ebonyi has revealed she slept with 15 different men without protection. Recall the Ebonyi Police Command recently arrested Chukwube while trying to sell her biological baby to raise money to start a business of selling drinks.

Speaking to Vanguard reporter via telephone call on Wednesday, the state police spokesperson, Loveth Odah said Chukwube was arrested following a tip off. Upon being interrogated, the lady refused to disclose her state of origin or local government but maintained that she does not have the financial ability to take care of the child.

Her words; “I am from Nigeria, 32 years old, a commercial sex worker and my baby is just four months old. I want to sell the baby at the rate of N40,000 to start up a business. I have a fridge and I reside at Ogbe Hausa in Abakaliki.”

On how she got impregnated, she said; “On this fateful day, I needed to buy enough provision for myself, so, I decided to go look for customers (men) to have sex with me. I collected a sum of N5,000 from each of the men that slept with me without condom. I had sex with 15 men on that day.

“So, I was able to meet up with my demand after having sex with them (the 15 men). But this day has actually put me into trouble because I got impregnated as a result of the multiple sex I had. I don’t even know who to hold responsible for the baby...

Senator Remi Tinubu has raised a motion to ensure the regulation of the formulation and distribution of cosmetics, especially bleaching cream.

The motion was passed on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, during plenary to urge the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to wake up to its responsibility to protect Nigerians against harmful cosmetics.

Mrs. Tinubu expressed concern with the proliferation of small and medium enterprises and businesses that have flooded the Nigerian market with beauty products whose production are not well-regulated.

The senator raised concerns that products used for skin lightening are not indicating ingredients, or expiry dates to enlighten users of their content.

Her words; "The Senate is worried that it is impossible to determine that hygiene, quality assurance and good manufacturing practices are adhered to in the formulation of these products," she said.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been appointed the new chief of the World Trade Organization, becoming the first woman to ever lead the Switzerland-based institution and the first African citizen to take on the role. However, this is not the first time that Okonjo-Iweala makes history.

Here are few interesting facts to know about the newly appointed WTO DG;

Okonjo-Iweala was born in Ogwashi-Ukwu, Delta State, Nigeria where her father Professor Chukwuka Okonjo was the Obi (King) from the Obahai Royal Family of Ogwashi-Ukwu.

Okonjo was educated at Queen's School, Enugu, St. Anne's School, Molete, Ibadan, and the International School Ibadan.

She arrived in the US in 1973 as a teenager to study at Harvard University, graduating magna c** laude with an AB in Economics in 1976.

In 1981, she earned her PhD in regional economics and development from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a thesis titled Credit policy, rural financial markets, and Nigeria's agricultural development.

Okonjo was the first woman to become Finance Minister of Nigeria, and first woman to serve in that office twice. In 2005, Euromoney named her global finance minister of the year.

When serving as Nigeria’s finance minister, kidnappers demanded Okonjo-Iweala resign after taking her mother hostage. She refused to comply and they ended up releasing her mother a few days later, according to BBC report.

She has also been involved in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, being the African Union’s special envoy on the matter. Okonjo-Iweala has been a board member of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance — a public-private health partnership immunizing people in poorer countries.

She is married to Ikemba Iweala, a neurosurgeon. They have four children - one daughter, Onyinye Iweala (AB, MD, PhD, Harvard) and three sons.

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu opened another Facebook account following the sudden deactivation of his official page by the social network giant, Facebook a week ago.

The IPOB leader launched the new account (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) on Friday, 6 February, 2021.

Recall the Igbo freedom fighter was sanctioned by Facebook over violation of the Community Standard which has in detail all rules that allow the company to remove violators.

On Friday, 12 February 2021, Nnamdi Kanu took to Facebook to announce his latest feat of reaching 5,000 limit for friends on Facebook, six days after his old account was suspended.

He posted; "Congratulations to the first 5000 that didn't see but believed. Since we have hit the limit, I can no longer accept new friends request on this account.

"I have therefore created a brand new Official Fan Page.

The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, has lambasted Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed for supporting amnesty for bandits while justifying proscription for peaceful agitators.

The Minister said bandits cannot be proscribed like the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, because of their lack of identity and affiliation to a group.

Reacting, the group in a statement signed on Friday, by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful described Lai Mohammed's statement as "derogatory and disgraceful".

The statement read apart; "The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader, Mazi

Nnamdi Kanu, has noted with great amusement, statement credited to Mr Lai Mohammed, that he supports amnesty for bandits. Lai Mohammed should be ashamed of himself for advocating amnesty for murderous bandits but justifying proscription for peaceful agitators.

"Lai Mohammed justified Nigeria's black market proscription of a peaceful movement like IPOB instead of bandits and other terrorist groups rampaging the North and ravaging the South. This is the height of hypocrisy! This latest statement by the Information Minister has confirmed our Leader's position that Nigeria is a nation with no leader.

"Nigeria is in bed with terrorists but up in arms against innocent citizens agitating for freedom. IPOB never declared any war against Nigeria or her citizens yet it was unilaterally proscribed and banished by government. But bandits have been on killing spree of innocent Indigenous citizens of Nigeria yet the same government is seeking amnesty for the blood suckers. What a disgraceful irony!

Former Minister of Aviation, Olufemi Fani-Kayode has denied rumours doing rounds that he left Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to join the All Progressive Congress, APC, saying he's still a bonafide member of the oppossition.

Recall that media reports suggested that the former aviation minister had defected to the ruling party after photos of him and the chairman of the APC reconciliatory committee, Mai Buni and Governor Yahaya Bello in a meeting surfaced.

Reacting, Fani-Kayode took to his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday to debunk the news of his alleged defection to the ruling party.

He tweeted:

Though we have had meetings across party lines and we are in a season of political consultation I have not left the PDP.

https://mobile.twitter.com/realFFK/status/1359550087727300614

The Rivers state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to former minister Femi Fani-Kayode's meeting with some leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congres (APC).

Rivers PDP publicity secretary, Sydney Tambari, on Tuesday, February 9, said the former aviation minister is free to defect, according to PUNCH report.


Tambari said Fani-Kayode enjoys freedom of association, hence the reason his defection cannot come as a surprise.

He, however, said the minister has not officially forwarded his resignation of PDP membership to the national leadership of the party.

It would be recalled that Fani-Kayode on Monday, February 8, met with some APC leaders including Kogi state governor Yahaya Bello and Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe state.

The meeting has since been generating massive reactions with many suggesting that the controversial former minister may be plotting a return back to the ruling party.

The President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari GCFR will confer President's NYSC Honours Award on 110 Ex-Corps Members of the 2018/2019 Service Years that distinguished themselves in the course of national service.

The outstanding Ex-Corps Members were selected on merit in the areas of ORIENTATION COURSE, PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICE AND WINDING UP/PASSING-OUT.

DATE: Thursday, 11th February, 2021
TIME: 12 Noon
VENUE: Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Management

On September 16, 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari signed the Nigeria Police Force (Establishment) Bill into law. The law replaces its 1943 colonial antecedent which has regulated the Nigeria Police Force for 77 years with several provisions becoming obsolete over time. The Bill was passed by both chambers of the National Assembly by July 2020. The Nigeria Police Force (Establishment) Act 2020 seeks to provide for more efficiency in police service.

By the provision of Section 18( of the Bill, it is expressly stated that every police officer shall, on recruitment or appointment, serve in the Nigeria Police Force for a period of 35 years or until he attains the age of 60 years, whichever is earlier. This provision thus prevents the extension of Police’s tenure of service.

Also, Section 215 of 1999 constitution as amended doesn’t give room for extension of service of the Inspector-General of Police, the President can only appoint but no where in the law he is asked to extend tenure of service.

However, there are rising discontents in the Nigeria Police over President Muhammadu Buhari’s recent extension of the tenure of the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, whose has been long due to leave office since February 1, 2021.

By implication, President Buhari’s decision poses a contravention to the provisions of the Police Act 2020, which in Section 7 (6), fixes a single term of four years without an option of extension of tenure for the holder of the office of the Inspector-General of Police.

It reads: “A person appointed to the office of the Inspector-General of Police shall hold office for four years”, while Section 18 ( of the Act signed by President Muhammadu Buhari on September 15, 2020, states the length of service of a police officer thus; “Every police officer shall, on recruitment or appointment, serve in the police force for 35 years or until he attains the age of 60 years, whichever is earlier.”

In addition, the extension of the tenure of the Inspector-General of Police may dampen the morale of the rank and file, particularly the morale of officers whose promotion might be stagnated due to lack of vacancies which the domino effect of the retirement would have created.

You will recall that this is not the first time Mr. President will be extending the tenure of Inspector General of Police. In 2019, President Buhari approved six months extension of the years of the then Inspector General, Ibrahim Idris by prolonging his stay to June from the January retirement date, thus, retaining the IG for the 2019 general elections which begin in February.

Judging by all these legal parameters, it’s unsound and unconstitutional on the part of Mr. President to extend IGP Adamu’s service without following the basic provisions of the law. What are his (Buhari) reasons for the extension? Why should we be pampering old wagons in the force when we have vibrant young officers with enthusiasm to take us to the promised land? Is this not a sense that the rule of law is no longer operational in the country? Many questions on my mind begging for answers but I can only wish Mr President come out bold to tell Nigerians why he made that decision without considering the implication on the Nigeria Police Force and the citizens by extension.

A Texas, United States-based Nigerian econometric and social psychologist, Dr. Owen Hercules, has last year advised President Muhammadu Buhari against extending the tenure of the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, beyond the statutory February 1, 2021, under the guise of reforming the force but now a futile call since Mr. President has decided to take the ‘horn by the bull’ by acting contrary to what the law says in this stance. For the best interest of Nigerians and to safe the institution of the Nigerian Police from extinction, Mr. President should give a second thought to his decision and ensure that the right thing is done.

Taraba State Governor Darius Ishaku on Wednesday, has asked Federal Government of Nigeria to allow all citizens own licensed guns in order to secure themselves, insisting that security has degenerated.

The governor stated this when 15 Local Government Chairmen in the state paid him a condolence visit following the demise of one of their colleagues who was kidnapped and subsequently killed by gunmen.

His words; "If one thing you do everyday is not working correctly then you should go find advise from somebody to tell you how you'll do it differently to get it correct.

"You can't keep doing the same wrong thing over and over. And if we can't be able to provide security for our citizens then allow all the citizens to buy AK47 (gun). If everybody is licensed with AK47 (gun), I swear... nobody will come to your house and if the person even come, it will now depend of who is faster between both of you.

"But in a situation where we're all guard with one particular security system that has been unable to work and we're told to sit down and be counting the day our time we come; I don't agree with it."

The Senior pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa says no pastor will have more than a car if men of God were to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Giwa, who was addressing his members in Akure on Wednesday, expressed displeasure on how many Christians had been deceived by “prosperity gospel”.

The cleric, however, described “prosperity sermon” as a false teaching from the pit of hell.

He said, “The teachings of our Lord Jesus give us insights into how He wants us to live as His followers.

“Many of us have deviated from these teachings today just because we want to be rich. Do you know that Nigeria has one of the richest pastors in the world?

“Truth is bitter, but we must say it as it is that if all of us want to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, no pastor will have more than one car and a house.

“It’s unfortunate that most of us have a series of cars, private jets, houses among others. Jesus said in the book of Matthew 6:3 that if someone gives to the poor, he or she should keep it secret.

“How many pastors are following this teaching today? Also, in the book of Matthew 19:21, Jesus told the rich man to go sell all his possessions and follow him.

“Some of us have different possessions today and we keep saying we want to be like Jesus; we are all fooling ourselves. Let me tell you, it is not easy to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.

“Any pastor having two, three or four cars cannot claim he is following the paths of our Lord Jesus Christ.

“Prosperity sermon is a false teaching from Lucifer. The devil offers riches, read Matthew 4:5-6 where Satan tempted Jesus Christ.”

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has warned critics to steer clear from the activities of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, reiterating his stance to carryout the eviction notice against the Fulani herdsmen in the Southeast.



Recall the IPOB leader on January 28, 2021, advised the governors of the East, to as a matter of urgency ban all manner of open grazing in the region while threatening to use the ESN operatives in commencing the enforcement of the 1969 Anti-Grazing Law across the entire region if the governors in the region fail to heed to his call.

On Sunday, January 31, 2021, Kanu shared a video where ESN operatives were seen burning houses and cows allegedly belonging to the herdsmen in Isiukwuato, Abia.

The viral video has since been generating reactions and counter-reactions among many Nigerians on scoial media. While most IPOB members commended Nnamdi Kanu for coming to their rescue, others condemned the attack by the ESN operatives, describing their action as "unlawful" and "babaric".

Reacting, Nnamdi Kanu took to his Facebook handle Monday, to warn those condemning the attack.

A house belonging to Sunday Adeyemo, freedom fighter better known as Sunday Igboho, in Ibadan, Oyo state capital, was reportedly set on fire in the early hours of Tuesday.

One of Igboho’s aide, who spoke with TheCable off the record, confirmed the incident.

Igboho has been in the news since he issued a seven-day ultimatum to herders in Ibarapa local government area of Oyo state.

He had blamed the herders for fuelling insecurity in the state.

The cause of the fire has not been ascertained but Igboho's aide alleged that some suspected individuals are behind the attack.

“Igboho has two houses in Soka. The old and the new one where he lives now. The old one got burnt overnight. We suspect foul play. It could be the work of people who don’t like what we are doing to liberate Yoruba from the oppression,” he said.

Sunday Igboho had last week issued a seven day ultimatum to Fulanis to leave Yorubaland after he stormed the Igangan residence of the Seriki Fulani noting that the Yorubas could no more bear being killed in their land by Fulanis.

Here are few things to know about the Yoruba activist who led thousands of youths in a road walk against insecurity in Oyo, South-west of Nigeria;

Sunday Igboho was born on October 10 in 1972. His real name is Sunday Adeyemo.

He hails from Igboho town, located in the area of Oke Ogun, Oyo State. Later, the family left for Modakeke in Osun. After the war there, Sunday moved to Igboho.

On how he got the nickname 'Igboho', the activist said that people in Yoruba Land tend to give other inhabitants the “names” due to the place they live in. His father was called “Baba Igboho” because he comes from Igboho. As a result, Sunday got the name “Sunday Omo Baba Igboho”. After Sunday’s father moved from Modakeke because of the war, people started calling him Sunday “Igboho”. This name stayed with him even after moving to Ibadan.

The name of Sunday Igboho is widely known in the city of Ibadan. He is a politician and a businessman, whose attention is devoted to human problems and protection of their rights.

Sunday’s career started from being a mechanic and a motorcycle repairer. But God had other plans for him. He guided Sunday into business and helped him meet the right people of great importance to do it well.

Sunday Adeyemo truly believes in God. He advises people to keep their minds open. He tries to help people, who lost their way or faith in life. Sunday Igboho is an excellent example of how to build relationships within society, stay fair and honest in all respects.

He gained social media tractions in January 2021 when he gave a week ultimatum to Fulani herdsmen in Ibarapa to vacate the land after the killing of Dr. Aborode.

Igboho is a Christian, married to two wives and has children including three professional footballers playing in Germany.
