The Public Relations Office of the Nigerian Police have revealed that two mobile policemen attached to musician Davido have been arrested.

The Police administration took the step after Davido’s lackeys posted videos of his return to Lagos to social media sites. See our coverage on what led to the incident here.

The police rang out more than 21 gunshots in a reckless display of callousness and flagrant abuse of power. The shots were issued from AK-47 assault rifles in a moving vehicle in busy Lagos traffic enroute Lekki from Murtala Muhammad International Airport.

After several Nigerians expressed their outrage over the issue, the Police quickly took steps to withdraw the mobile policemen from Davido’s Lekki premises and detained them at Police Command in Lagos, where an investigation of their actions is taking place.

See all the commotion here:

Dear VO

I am currently holding my advance parole and employment authorization document and living in the USA waiting for my green card to be approved.

It was supposed to come through in January but the Obama administration has USCIS fastrack naturalization applications during the election year which caused a 3 month delay.

I have a wife and a newborn son back home and I am not able to see them often because I have been in the usa waiting on mt documents.

I would like them to come and visit me on a visitors visa, just to cut short the time we will be apart. I am envisionig a 2 to 3 month trip.

I have also filed a folow to come application for them and paid the fees, so i am kinda worried that if they apply for a visitora visa they will be denied based on the fact that i am a pending greencard applicant.

Please advise.

Thank you

As Valentine’s Day quickly approaches, the love affair with the change administration of President Muhammad Buhari appears to have crashed for the majority of Nigerians.

Buhari who was sworn into office on March 29th 2015 amid much fanfare and high expectations and hopes of Nigerians, according to a poll conducted by THE HERALD seems to have disappointed many Nigerians as he approaches his second year in office.

The Commander in Chief who is currently on a medical vacation to London, days after the Nigerian Air Force dropped three bombs on Internally Displaced Persons in Borno killing scores of Boko Haram refugees, human aid workers and injuring numerous others does not seem to be perturbed by his disapproval rating.

In usual form his cabinet continues to blame the outgoing administration of Goodluck Jonathan, even as his Minister for Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed attributed the logistical error admitted to by the Air Force top brass to the former President.

According to the poll, 33% of Nigerians disapprove of President Muhammad Buhari’s performance whilst 39% strongly disapprove, stating that the “President must go”. The leadership of the National Assembly, with their own corruption sagas hanging over their heads are in no position to impeach the former General, whose track record under the democratic dispensation is akin to his record as a military leader. In 1985, Buhari was sacked from government amid similar poor performance and low approval ratings by the General Ibrahim Babangida (retd) military regime.

The report card of the President is especially poor as concerns power supply, and economic welfare of the citizenry.

Speaking to The Herald via telephone, Charles Ajah, a social activist said, “The mystique is over. The President seems to be only concerned with the welfare of his family, marrying his daughter Zahra off to an oil block billionaire who was reported to donate $900,000 to a university in Florida and has vast reserves of cash is just the tip of the iceberg.

“The Naira continues to fall. The genocide in Southern Kaduna has gone without consequence. And the President continues to be selective in his anti-corruption war, targeting political opponents, whilst corrupt officials in his own cabinet go unpunished.”

Also recently, President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Alhaji ShettimaYerima, said northerners are only good at grabbing power but don’t use it to develop their region.

He said “History has shown that the northerners are only good in grabbing power and playing politics but at the end, they do not know what they do with the power, and it is the southerners they appointed that are ultimate beneficiaries of the power, as they use it to empower and encourage their people in their regions. Out of 56 years of independence, the North has been in power for about 38 years, while the Yoruba and few others held on to power for that remaining years.”

With approximately two years remaining in office, it remains to be seen how the Buhari administration expects to shore up its approval ratings with Nigerians, some of whom seem hell bent on kicking this government out.
