Political leaders have been advised to avoid
succumbing to the antics of their supporters that
could cause disaffection among them in order to
eschew bitterness.
Gov. Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State gave the advice
shortly after embracing his predecessor, Chief
Rasheed Ladoja in Ibadan on Friday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
the two political opponents met at the 8th day
fidau prayer for late High Chief Omowale Kuye,
the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland.
The governor said, “even when you don’t want to
quarrel, your supporters will be inciting you to
quarrel. Such is the nature of politics. Politics
makes siblings to go against one another.
Ajimobi said he was not in any way at
loggerheads with Ladoja whom he referred to as
his elder brother.
The governor said that the bond between him
and Ladoja was still intact, despite their political
differences.
“Politics is a funny game which pitches brothers
against brothers, friends against friends and even
majority ethnic groups against minority groups.
“And this is exactly what has happened between
me and my brother, Ladoja.
“But honestly, politics apart, there is no personal
animosity between us. Ladoja is my brother; I
will never fight him’’, he said.
NAN recalls that Ladoja, the Accord Party
governorship candidate for 2015 election, had
challenged the victory of Ajimobi of APC, and
lost at both the tribunal and Appeal Court.
The governor praised late Kuye, who he
described as a role model for anybody who
aspires to be successful in any field of human
endeavour.
He said the deceased was an extremely brilliant,
honest and candid man, whose integrity could
not be faulted.
He urged Priscilla, wife of Kuye, and family
members, to take solace in the good legacies he
left behind.
Ajimobi said Kuye’s great works would surely
outlive him.
Kuye was a former Federal Director of Budget.

Premier league giants, Chelsea and Arsenal are
battling to secure the signature of 17-year-old
attacking midfielder Kelechi Nwakali following his
eye-catching performance during the U-17 World
Cup in Chile.
According to reports, Chelsea have opened talks
with him with Arsenal yet to do so.
His agent Klay Ekeocha has also come out to
confirm that he is in talks with a number of sides
in Europe, including the Blues, as his client is
likely to be making a transfer in the near future.
“We are in contact with Chelsea, Udinese and
Olympiakos,” he said.
It was believed that the Gunners were favourites
to his signature after he admitted he was keen to
play for the club earlier last week.
However, his agent also added that he already
opened talks with Arsenal, but is yet to receive
any sort of reply.
“We got in touch with Arsenal and there’s no
feedback yet.”
Following his performance for Nigeria in the
tournament, Nwakali was named Most Valuable
Player of the Fifa Under 17 World Cup.
Manchester City and West Ham United were also
keeping an eye on his services, but later ruled
out a move due to problems with his work
permit.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Sector
Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps
(FRSC) has warned that any person caught
crossing the road without using pedestrian bridge
in the FCT will be arrested, prosecuted and
possibly jailed for three months.
Speaking at the 2015 Nigerian Breweries/
Federal Road Safety Corps; ‘Don’t Drink and
Drive’ road safety campaign held in Abuja
yesterday, the FCT corps commander, Sunday
Oghenekaro said sub-regulations (10) and (11) of
the National Road Traffic Regulation (NRTR)
2012 empowers the corps to arrest any defaulter
of the pedestrian bridge and such person is liable
on conviction to a fine of N2000.00 or to a term
of three months imprisonment or both.
The corps commander also noted that it is
unwise and unsafe to combine alcohol with
driving, warning against driving under influence
as it is unsafe, affects the vision, judgement,
reduces coordination and slows down reactions.
Ahead of the festive season and the travelling
that is involved, corps commander Oghenekaro
warned drivers against overloading, dangerous
overtaking, distracted driving (making or
receiving calls) and excessive speeding, as
anyone caught violating these rules will be
prosecuted accordingly.
While speaking on the repeated sponsoring of the
programme, the representative of the Nigerian
Breweries, Vivian Ikem noted that though the
firm produces alcoholic drinks, it values the lives
of its customers to that of the profits of the
shareholders.

UN Women/United Nations Entity for Gender
Equality and the Empowerment of Women has
said from the statistics available that only 3 per
cent of adolescent girls complete their secondary
education in the Northern Nigeria.
Speaking at the Planning/Review Meeting with
Media Partners in Jos, Plateau State, the Deputy
Programme Manager, UN Women, Peter Mancha,
said in the North West and North East regions
that only about 20per cent of women are literate.
Mancha blamed high rate of poverty and
ignorance as being responsible for this ugly
development, as some parents of these drop-out
girls do not understand the value of education.
He also identified culture and traditions that
have restricted women from going to school,
adding that such obnoxious culture should be
jettisoned by various communities to promote
girl-child education.
The Deputy Programme Manager urged the
parents to look beyond the immediate benefits
they derive by not sending their children
especially the girl child, noting women and girls
should be encouraged and supported to be
literate for socio-economic development of the
region.
Commenting on the programme tagged
“Promoting Women Engagement in Peace and
Security in Northern Nigeria, which is a project
being funded by the European Union and
implemented by the United Nations Entity for
Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women,
Mancha explained that a baseline survey has
been carried out in the three pilot States of
Adamawa, Gombe and Plateau where the project
is being implemented.

End time blood money.

I Don know tey tey say end time Don reach.
make I just carry my load and bounce go Bro Jesus right hand.

CountDracula:
Dis 7 billion ure talkin abt isn't presently used for either job creation nor payment of unemployed youths, its jus being pocketed, now, if u ask d government to create jobs for u, we all knw dats jus a waste of tym, hwever, if ure given 5k u can figure out how stuppid and pathetic u look and find urself a job or create one... I'm not a fan of corruption, but if FG is lookin for a way to waste money, I'm more dan happy for dem to waste it on my unemployed brothers and sisters

and do you think if they wanna give every unemployed Bro and Sis 5k it can't get stuck in some senators or governors pocket.
at th junction am no longer waiting for gov appointment but I think if this government want to be more serious it's preferable and more save to create job with 7b. with our present economy problem. giving out 7.5b every month will do us more evil than good.

CountDracula:
Pls I fail to see wat 5k and job creation by d government has to do wit each other... Can u explain urself in a more detailed manner?

I don't agree with Alfa but I want to let you know that the 5k can be used to create job, am not in support of this program ever since APC manifesto.
if this thing didn't turn out like the past surep where the only loyal party members will benefit from it.
let's just agree that APC are sincere with this promise and they wanna pay about 1.5millons unemployed youth,how much will that cost them in a month?that would be like 7.5b just imagine if fg pump half of that into skill acquisition not to talk of agriculture and monitor it.
ok let's just agree that they didn't divert into employment. they decided to be paying 1.5m people 7b in a month how much will that cost fg in a year?isnt that a waste of resources cos I don't know how 5k will influence a grown up man in a month. it can't even feed my fowls in a week.
this a lame Idea.
