President Buhari has described the January 23rd controversial letter former president Olusegun Obasanjo wrote to him asking him not to seek re-election as abusive.
Speaking in an interview with the Hausa version of the Voice of America in the US, President Buhari said even though the letter was abusive, he had to refrain the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, from replying the letter with abusive words.
”Even when the Minister of Information and Culture wanted to reply that abusive letter written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, I told him not to. I later allowed him but only to highlight the achievements of our administration.’’ President Buhari said
In his explosive letter which generated a lot of reactiosn, Obasanjo accused President Buhari of nepotism, having a poor understanding of politics and engaging in blame games rather than accepting responsibility for his failure. Part of the letter read
“Whatever may be the state of President Buhari’s health today, he should neither overpush his luck nor over-tax the patience and tolerance of Nigerians for him, no matter what his self-serving, so-called advisers, who would claim that they love him more than God loves him and that without him, there would be no Nigeria say. President Buhari needs a dignified and honourable dismount from the horse. He needs to have time to reflect, refurbish physically and recoup and after appropriate rest, once again, join the stock of Nigerian leaders, whose experience, influence, wisdom and outreach can be deployed in the sideline for the good of the country”.

“I am at the Maharaj Ji village in Ibadan, the highest spiritual centre of the universe. I am alive and well. I am a perfect master. I got excited when I heard the news because physically, I am beyond death.
“I am not involved in what human beings are doing. When I heard the rumour of my death, I said waoh!, the one who created man determines what happens to him. The world wants to know more about me; that is why people said I was dead.
“People have been calling me. I am a happy man. I am a traditionalist and king of culture. It is your behaviour and attitude that determine your death and success in life. If you are a good man, death does not exist. Anyone who dies must have done something wrong”.

"People die out of ignorance and disobedience. When a human being wakes up in the morning, he should be grateful to his creator,” he said.

Some pretty young ladies have been trailed with criticisms on social media after a photo where they rocked their NYSC uniform in a stylish way emerged online.
The female NYSC members
The above photo of some female members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) rocking their customized khaki in style, has emerged online and is making rounds on social media.
The young ladies who have been trailed with mixed reactions and criticisms by online users, were seen wearing a re-designed khaki uniform in an ‘inappropriate’ way where the trouser was turned to shorts.
The identities of the corps members or where in Nigeria the photo was taken, were not ascertained by BROADNews as at the time of filing this report.

While the Big Brother Naija reality TV show lasted, Cynthia Nwadiora, better known as Cee-C, was famous for her heated altercations with fellow housemates.
She often engaged the other contestants in verbal warfare, using expletives and insults to convey her points.
Her behaviour earned her the ‘bitter Nigerian woman’ label on social media. The label was so popular that it was among the most Googled term by Nigerians in the last seven days.
Reacting to the public’s perception of her while on the show, Cee-C said she is shocked.
The first runner-up of BBNaija said she did not see herself “like that” in the house.
In an interview during a programme on Beat FM, Cee-C said she will work on her anger issues.
“I’ve been shocked about everything. The reactions. I didn’t even see myself like that in the house,” she said on Thursday.
“For me, I believe that in every opinion, there is an element of truth so I’m just taking the truth and leaving the rest out.
“People have said that I have anger issues. Anger is an emotion. I get angry, everybody gets angry.
“Watching myself, that wasn’t cool. If that’s what it’s going to take for me to be a better person, why not.”
Nina, Alex, Tobi, Miracle and Cee-C are the five finalists of the third edition of BBNaija.

'He went to Bristol in 2007 after he rescued a girl from a rape.
'He received threatening phone calls, he was really scared for his life.
'They were throwing eggs at our door and everything, the family of the group.
'Abraham was just 14 and the police said he was a witness and they said if you do not allow him you will be charged with perverting the course of justice.
'The family of those boys were coming to my door and saying he should not go to court.
'He moved to Bristol to continue his education, he was only 16.'

'It would be too soon to nail all the colours to the mast.
'That is one line of enquiry, but we have others that we are looking into.'

'When he finished his masters he moved back to London and his car was vandalised outside on the street.
'They removed all the tyres and they smashed out the mirrors and the windscreen.
'He asked the police to be moved away, he was fearful for his life and was scared, he was worried.
'I feel in my heart it could be connected.
'I thought it was okay that he moved back to London because I thought everything had passed.
'It happened when he was little I thought that the people who had committed the crime would have been reformed and punished for what they had done.'

Tobi, one of the Big Brother Naija finalist, may at the moment be at a crossroad and totally confused about his love life. His alleged girlfriend Regina, who is currently under pressure, has come to say she is too powerful to be in anyone’s shadow.
If you remember earlier in the day of the show, Tobi had talked about a woman in his life. Further fact findings later revealed Regina, who is a fitness enthusiast as his girlfriend.
However during subsequent discussions, he made it clear he was single and knows there would be many ladies out there claiming to be his girlfriend.
While Regina never called herself his girlfriend, her support for him has been unwavering. All through the days of the show, she could be seen campaigning intensively for Tobi and this was in
Now that Alex is in the picture, Regina might feel threatened and some people are even insinuating that she should be ready to face a stiff competition from the ex Big Brother Naija housemate.
Regina, however shut down the speculations saying she is too powerful to be in anyone’s shadow.
Regina, who had supported Tobi, until the last day, was obviously traumatized when he was evicted on the final day of the show.

In a series of tweets of twitter, she had mentioned that Ebuka, the show host, didn’t win in his time. And here he is today, with a lot of achievements in his coffers. She even stated that Tobi will achieve greater things and she is ready to stick with him until the end.
And she also mentioned that if she is to choose again in another life, she will choose Tobi over and over again.


These tweets are just enough for anyone to assume the duo have a thing for each other.
But we believe time will decide whom the brother will eventually stick with...

ACCORDING to estimates 170 million votes (30 million during the final week) were recorded during the recently concluded Big Brother Nigeria finals, earning the South African production company N5.1 billion (of which N900million was made in one week).
Notably, viewers were billed to cast their votes. In comparison, the 2015 elections were decided by a mere 31 million people out of 68 million registered voters (INEC figures). With this in mind, let’s unsentimentally reassess President Muhammadu Buhari’s comments on “lazy” youths.
Valentino, an Italian luxury brand, is currently selling a green-white-green handbag ostensibly targeted at Nigerians. Another luxury brand, Emilio Pucci is selling a dress tagged “Nigeria printed silk-satin kaftan” (no different in style from anything made here, mind you, except for the “Pucci” label) also obviously targeted at Nigerians. Foreign brands know the power of the Nigerian consumer who is willing to spend heavily to achieve a certain look, buy into trends and appear to be a member of a certain class. Would Nigerians buy these same designs from local brands without foreign seals of approval?
Democracy and social justice
The same Nigerians who pay to vote for Big Brother expect to be paid during elections, therefore, devaluing themselves and allowing the wrong candidates to come into office. In much the same way, many of us don’t respect hard work, talent or patience.
We only admire fast money (no matter how it is acquired) and quick, superficial gains. We ridicule those with 9 to 5 p.m jobs who can’t afford to spend crazy amounts on women and alcohol but we hail the “yahoo boys” who can.
Unemployed men and women frequently say on Twitter and other social networks: “I can’t date someone who doesn’t earn at least N200, 000″, forgetting they bring nothing to the table!
Many will be quick to call these people the exception rather than the rule.
I don’t believe most young people are scam artists or lazy. However, those who’ve watched politicians and other figures of authority get away with murder in our lawless society have turned such goings on into an element of our culture therefore encouraging the narrative that only illegality and dishonesty pays.
So, many people want to “blow”, to become overnight successes; this more often than not obviously involves corrupt practices. We often want the dividends of democracy, a government that cares and delivers on its promises but none of the struggle to achieve this: we want comforts but very few of us are willing to become active citizens to ensure government does right by us. Democracy and social justice won’t be hand delivered to us on a platter of gold.
Citizens of developed countries can afford to be relatively laid back because certain fundamental battles for equality have been fought and largely won. Indeed, their countries provide basic amenities and welfare. Nevertheless, periodically, they ask for more. Nigerians are yet to make real demands of anyone outside of social media. In that sense, yes, we are all somewhat lazy. Our oil rich economy has got us used to a wasteful life where we are all dependent on hand-outs from some rich man or other who steals to satisfy our common greed.
Rather than denounce corruption, we only complain when people don’t share their loot. Our senses have been dulled by luxury consumer goods produced abroad but sold mainly to people from the developing world. Arabs, Asians and Africans are the biggest consumers of Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Moet etc. Most of the world’s poor are also concentrated here: Is this the final stage of global capitalism?Rich people from poor nations don’t realise on whose backs their comfort is based. Economic slavery is the new colonisation, and this time, not only are the oppressors home grown, they have an army of easily manipulated, working class young people ready to defend their own oppression.
Nigerian youths are commonly deemed “unemployable” despite their university degrees which don’t equip them for the 21st century workplace or enable them to compete with their global counter parts, mostly because our system doesn’t encourage analysis, critical thinking or independent thought. Our system produces clones fit for the military era, people who neither critique society nor question their place within it. Nigerian youths are not lazy, but many have neither a real understanding of politics nor a real interest in public affairs beyond arguing over what ethnic group is the most marginalised.
Those responsible for killing public school education to fund private schools attended by only the elite, pose themselves as defenders of the youth by criticising Buhari’s comments while the same youth clap, forgetting that when these people were in power they killed affordable healthcare and education for their own personal gain. How many former vice-presidents or first ladies in the US etc. own schools or hospitals? Where would they get the money from? Yet, so many of our politicians plunder the public purse to start these businesses to the exclusion of those who really need these services.
