Tonto Dikeh had earlier today expressed regrets at being friends with Bobrisky, referring to the crossdresser as an ungrateful hoodlum.

She addressed Bobrisky’s claim that she owes him N5 million According to Tonto, the money Bobrisky loaned her was N2 million and that it was when she was in Dubai that she asked him to send it to her family to sort out some things.

Cross-dresser, James Brown claims that Bobrisky’s action has a negative effect on all cross-dressers as people now see them as “backstabbers.”

He stated this while adding that there is a need to stop the fighting between the duo.

Describing Bobrisky as a “God of war/ daughter of war”, he also asked if the cross-dresser must fight with everyone.

Sammydanny:
A female preacher has startled people after she shared a message she claimed to have received from ''God'' via a video that has gone viral.

The preacher claimed God told her that he's tired of "being sexed" by people who have not been pronounced as husband and wives. According to her, Jesus is always there when such people engage in sex because their body is his temple.

She added that these people are pushing God into committing sin and he is tired of that.

See okoro the village head master self the follow talk. who told you that rivers people are igbo? Well na cheap data dey cause am

Penguin2:
Wike was on his way to being the most popular politician from the south after Tinubu until he sent soldiers to massacre Obigbo people.

As if that wasn’t enough, Wike opened his vocal cavity and told the world that he is not Igbo.

Until then, his greatest supporters were Igbos and we wouldn’t have minded him taking our presidential slot but he committed the greatest political blunder the day he made that proclamation.

Now he can’t guarantee Yoruba votes, Tinubu got that.

He can’t guarantee Igbo votes, Peter Obi got that.

I guess he will rely on his Ikwerre and Benin brethren.


Onye ala!

Can you answer this?

The Lagos judicial panel on police brutality says the state government is trying to evade responsibility by citing computer errors in the #EndSARS report.

According to the panel’s report, protesters were killed at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020 in what could be described in context as a “massacre”.

In a white paper on the report, the Lagos government accepted 11 out of the 32 recommendations of the panel, rejected one and accepted six with modifications.

The Lagos government also said the finding of the panel that nine persons died is “irreconcilable” with the testimony of John Obafunwa, a pathologist.

PANEL REACTS

Responding to the Lagos government’s white paper in a statement released by Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, the panel said the state could have reached out to members for clarifications where necessary.

“The chairperson, all panel members and indeed the secretariat of the Panel were all within the reach of the LASG for clarifications if there was sincerity, other than picking holes in order to evade responsibility on account of computer errors and tabular alignments of cut and paste,” the statement reads.

The panel also said the duplication of names on its list of casualties was as a result of a computer error, adding that they considered several dictionary definitions of the word ‘massacre’ before it was used.

“This was a misnomer from the spreadsheet that ought to have terminated at Page 297 but mistakenly overlapped to Page 298 with the same names and same numbers,” the panel said.

“It was the computer error of the secretariat of the panel which could have been corrected as the secretariat of the panel was domiciled in the ministry of justice at all times.

“In any event, the mere fact of repetition of same names on a table cannot without more, nullify the uncontroverted evidence of death.

“The panel considered several definitions of the word MASSACRE and adopted one of the dictionary meanings of MASSACRE as being ‘the act or instance of killing a number of usually helpless or unresisting human beings under circumstances of atrocity or cruelty’.

“​The Panel considered that firing live bullets at unarmed, peaceful and unresisting protesters which led to the death of some of them, was cruel and atrocious on the part of the military and the police. The White Paper ignored these explanations and findings by the Panel.”

The Senate, Trade Union Congress, TUC, and experts yesterday disagreed with the Federal Government’s plan to remove fuel subsidy next year and replace it with a N5,000 monthly transport grant to 40 million Nigerians.
While the Senate said there was no provision for such grant in the 2022 budget, TUC expressed shock that government could come up with this when negotiations on subsidy removal between government and the Labour movement is still ongoing, saying it is unacceptable.The Nigerian Labour Congress on its part, described the development as an open invitation for unrest and revolt.
Meanwhile, Vanguard analysis showed that the implementation of the proposed N5,000 monthly grant to 40 million Nigerians will cost the Federal Government N2.4 trillion annually, which is 81.71 per cent above the average annual subsidy payment from 2016 to 2019.

During the four years, the FG spent N2.93 trillion on fuel subsidies as follows: 2016 – N563.3 billion; 2017 – N144.53 billion; 2018 – N730 billion and 2019 – N1.5 trillion.

However, Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, said yesterday that the Federal Government has not concluded work on the proposed N5,000 transport grant, adding that the duration for the implementation will not exceed one year.

Senate disagrees

Speaking with journalists yesterday after submission of its committee budget proposal, Chairman, Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Olamilekan Adeola (APC, Lagos West), said that there was no provision for N5,000 monthly grant for 40 million Nigerians for transportation allowance in the 2022 budget currently before the National Assembly.

According to him, before the Executive can embark on such intervention, the proposal must come to National Assembly because it is going to cost N2.4 trillion.

“What are the criteria that would be used to determine beneficiaries of the transportation allowance?”, he queried.

‘It’s rumour to me’

Adeola, who noted that the proposal was still a rumour to him as the Chairman, Committee on Finance, said: “I don’t want to go into details, if there is something like that, a document needs to come to National Assembly and how do they want to identify the identity of the beneficiaries. This is not provided for in the 2022 budget proposal, which is N2.4 trillion.

“For us we still believe it is news because this budget we are considering contains subsidy and if we are passing a budget with subsidy in the fiscal document, we can’t speak because that is the document that is currently before us.

“The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning was quoted as saying that 40 million Nigerians will be paid N5,000 as transportation allowance, in lieu of the fuel subsidy.

“I don’t want to go into details for now. I believe that if such a proposal is to come to pass, a document to that effect must be sent to the National Assembly for us to see how feasible this is and how we identify the 40 million Nigerians that are going to benefit from this process. “There are still a lot of issues to be deliberated upon and looked into if eventually this will come to pass and how do we raise the money to pay these 40 million Nigerians?

“So, this is not provided for already in the 2022 budget. We don’t have anywhere in the budget where 40 million Nigerians will collect N5,000 monthly as transportation allowance, totaling N2.4 trillion.

“I know that there must be a budgetary provision for this for us (National Assembly) to consider. That is why I said it is still news out there until it formally comes to the National Assembly for either a virement to the budget or re-ordering of the budget.

“For now, I still want to take it as a rumour and as news until it is formally presented before the National Assembly.”

Transport grant won’t exceed one year — Finance minister

But the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, disclosed yesterday, in Abuja that money to finance it would come from the Federation Account.

The minister, who stated this while responding to inquiries by Vanguard on the modalities of the relief package, said the N5,000 monthly transport allowance will last between six months and one year.

Consequently, the minister said that a committee had been set up to look into it.

‘C’ttee led by VP looking into it’

According to her, a federal government team, led by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has been negotiating with the state governors on the programme.

Mrs. Ahmed said the exact number of poor Nigerians to benefit from the package would be determined by the committee, adding that there would be no cash payment, as beneficiaries would be paid through money transfers.

She said: “The intervention we want to provide is for between 20 and 40 million people and there is still a lot of work going on.

“We have a committee that is chaired by His Excellency the Vice President, state governors and a few of us ministers as members.

“So we have to have a landing as to the exact number between 20 and 40 million. We already agreed it will be N5000 and we have also agreed that the remittances have to be done digitally.

“The e-Naria will help, but so also are the various payment platforms that are currently available.

“What we will not do is pay people in cash. So the transfers that people will receive will be through one kind of electronic money or the other and it’s meant to be for a period of six, nine or 12 months.

“So these are things that we are still in negotiating because it’s still money that would have to come from the federation account. So everybody that is a member of FAAC will have to agree on the numbers. The maximum will be 12 months, the minimum will be six months.

“So this exercise of the registration on the part of the Federal Government, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs already has responsibility; they’re already developing this register, but the states are also going to be actively involved in providing this electronic register through which the transfers will be undertaken.

“How long will this intervention last? Okay, six months to 12 months. And we’re saying the committee is still working. So we’ll know on Monday, how long, how much and then the procedure on a state by state basis.”

Govt inviting anarchy, says NLC

Also reacting yesterday, the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, rejected the transport grant, saying government was inviting anarchy.

NLC in a statement by its President, Ayuba Wabba, warned that the government was planning to set the nation on fire, contending that government’s new position was being anchored by the International Monetary Fund, IMF and the World Bank.

The statement read: “A few hours ago, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Malam Mele Kyari announced that the price of petrol could jump as high as N320 and N340 from February 2022.

The NNPC GMD/CEO said that the price increase would be consequent on the plans by the Federal Government to remove subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit also commonly referred to as petrol or fuel. The grand optimism of the NNPC GMD was predicated on the claims that the removal of the fuel subsidy is now backed by an act of parliament probably the Petroleum Industry Act which was recently signed into law.

“The assertion of the NNPC GMD was re-echoed on the 23rd of November 2021 by the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, at the launch of the World Bank Nigeria Development Update (NDU), titled ‘Time for Business Unusual’ where she announced government’s plans to disburse N5000 to 40 million poorest Nigerians each as transport grant to cushion the effect of the planned removal of the fuel subsidy.

‘’The disclosures by the NNPC GMD and the Minister of Finance were in symphony with the positions of the World Bank Country Director for Nigeria, Mr. Shubham Chaudhuri and the International Monetary Fund urging the Federal Government to do away with fuel subsidy.

“The response of the Nigeria Labour Congress is that what we are hearing is the conversation of the Federal government with neo- liberal international monetary institutions. The conversation between the government and the people of Nigeria especially workers under the auspices of the trade union movement on the matter of fuel subsidy was adjourned sine die so many months ago.

‘’Given the nationwide panic that has trailed the disclosure of the monologue within the corridors of government and foreign interests, the Nigeria Labour Congress wishes to posit that it continues to maintain its rejection of deregulation based on import driven model.

‘’It is difficult to convince Nigerian workers why our dear country is the only country among the OPEC member countries that cannot produce its own refined petroleum products and thus adopts the neo-liberal import production model of refined petroleum products.

“We wish to reiterate our persuasion that the only benefit of deregulation based on import driven model is that Nigerian consumers will infinitely continue to pay high prices for refined petroleum products.

‘’This situation will definitely be compounded by the astronomical devaluation of the Naira which currently goes for N560 to 1US$ in the parallel market. Thus, any attempt to compare the price of petrol in Nigeria to other countries would be set on a faulty premise as it would be akin to comparing apples to mangoes.

“The contemplation by government to increase the price of petrol by more than 200% is a perfect recipe for an aggravated pile of hyper- inflation and astronomical increase in the price of goods and services. This will open a wide door to unintended social consequences such as degeneration of the current insecurity crises and possibly citizens’ revolt. This is not an outcome that any sane Nigeria wishes for.

“The argument that the complete surrender of the price of petrol to market forces would normalize the curve of demand and supply as is being wrongly attributed to the current market realities with cooking gas, diesel and kerosene is very obtuse.

‘’The truth is that these commodities which Nigeria can easily produce have been priced out of the reach of most Nigerian families with majority of our people resorting to tree felling and charcoal for their energy needs.

“We wish to warn that the bait by government to pay 40 million Nigerians N5000 as palliative to cushion the effect of astronomical increase in the price of petrol is comical, to say the least.

‘’The total amount involved in this queer initiative is far more than the money government claims to spend currently on fuel subsidy. Apart from our concerns on the transparency of the disbursement given previous experiences with such schemes, we are wondering if government is not trying to rob Nigerians to pay Nigerians. Why pay me N5000 and then subject me to perpetual suffering?

“Clearly, government thoughts on the so-called removal of fuel subsidy are cloudy and appear to be a ‘penny wise-pound foolish’ gamble. It is clear that the palliative offered by government will not cure the cancer that will befall the mass of our people who suffer the double jeopardy of hyper-inflation while their salaries remain fixed.

“As we had done several times, we call on the federal government to consider various options that can help Nigeria navigate out of the quagmire constructed by the failure of successive governments to embrace developmental governance and accountable leadership.

‘’Some of the viable options that can help insulate the domestic consumers from the market pressure brought about by the free fall of the Naira by making arrangement with contiguous refineries not far from Nigeria to swap crude oil with refined petroleum products; to accelerate work on the rehabilitation of Nigeria’s four major refineries which are all currently operating at near zero installed capacity; and establish empirical data on the quantity of refined petroleum products consumed daily by Nigerians.

‘’ It is unfortunate that this record remains a myth and a huge crater for all manner of official sleaze and leakages in the downstream petroleum sub- sector of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.”

TUC, experts kick against N5,000 transport grant

Reacting, the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, said the government’s new position on fuel subsidy was totally unacceptable, warning that the government is looking for trouble.

Secretary-General of TUC, Musa Lawal, said Labour was shocked with the government pronouncement on Tuesday because it was a unilateral decision without the input of labour.

He said: “We are surprised and shocked with the government pronouncement. We do not know how the government came about it. The government is calling for trouble if they think they can go ahead with subsidy removal without labour.

“The Presidential Committee made up of government representatives and Labour has not concluded its assignment. Our last meeting was in April. This new position is totally unacceptable to us.

“Let us look at the issue of N5,000 for about 40 million Nigerians. How did the government arrive at the figure? How did they determine the targeted beneficiaries? Most Nigerians are aware that similar money was given out, the identities of the beneficiaries have remained a subject of controversy and debate among Nigerians.”

Implementation’ll bring corruption — OGSPAN

Also opposing the transport grant, National President, Oil and Gas Service Providers Association of Nigeria, OGSPAN, Mazi Colman Obasi, said the implementation will bring about corruption.

He said: “It makes sense to deregulate the downstream sector for improved stability. It will also attract serious investors into the sector.

“But paying N5,000 to 40 million Nigerians would not make sense as it could bring about corruption. The government should look at other ways of impacting Nigerians and the nation’s economy.”

Govt needs something more realistic, says ex-MOMAN chair

Immediate past chairman, Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria, MOMAN, who doubles as the Managing Director, 11PLC, Adetunji Oyebanji, called for a more realistic project to be created, rather than the planned N5, 000 distributions to the poor.

Speaking to Vanguard, Oyebanji stated that the planned fuel subsidy removal was long overdue as such funds should be used to support other sectors of the economy.

He said, “I have been an advocate of the removal of fuel subsidy because it is not benefiting the ordinary man rather the elite who drive cars. So, I was pleased with the planned removal.

“However, the idea of disbursing N5,000 to Nigerians is not sustainable and cannot be adequately monitored. What is the difference between what was and what is suggested?

“I would think that such a fund would go to supporting primary school students with books and feeding as well as fees. That would encourage and grow the education sector and its citizens in the long run. Also, the Federal Government can inject such funds to the transport buses so that Nigerians can pay low fare on the BRT buses. To me, these are projects that are feasible and accountable.

‘N5,000 can’t make any difference’

Also speaking, human rights activist and program officer, Rights Protection and Accountability Network, Dr. Siyanolu Abegunde, said: “This government lacks economic thinkers, how can they think N5,000 monthly hand-outs will make a difference in today’s Nigeria when inflation is riding to the sky and cost of living is very high?

“Besides, the process of executing the cash transfer will, as usual, be controversial and riddled with corruption, nepotism and all the negatives associated with this country.

“As for me, the government should have invested in heavy constructions that can give some hope to the vulnerable in the form of jobs as we see in rail construction.”

Similarly, the Director of Entrepreneurship at Redeemers University, Ede, Dr. Olufemi Omoyele, questioned the success level of previous social intervention schemes of the government and wondered why Nigerians should be optimistic about the new proposal.

He said: “All the previous and ongoing social interventions schemes of this administration such as Conditional Cash Transfer, TraderMoni and others, what have been their impact on the poor and vulnerable?

‘’These schemes are poorly thought out, poorly executed and highly politicized. Tell me, how did they come about the 40 million to benefit from the scheme? What are the parameters?

“These people are extremely poor, so in what way will N5,000 alleviate their sufferings in the midst of spiralling inflation and high prices? This government should come down from its high horse and face reality.”

The Chief of Defence Staff, Lucky Irabor, has faulted the manner in which the report of the Lagos Judicial Panel of Inquiry on the EndSARS protests was leaked to the public, without following due process.

Mr Irabor, a general, stated this on Tuesday while speaking to journalists at the Government House, Benin-city, after a meeting with Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State.

The panel, headed by a retired judge, Doris Okuwobi, had on Monday submitted its reports on the Lekki shooting and police brutality during the October 2020 EndSARS protests, to the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

After receiving the report, Mr Sanwo-Olu set up a four-member committee to look into the report within two weeks, and “bring forward the white paper that would be considered at the Lagos state executive council and presented as the white paper coming from the panel of inquiry.”

The report was, however, leaked to the public by a member of the panel, due to trust issues.

The report indicted the Nigerian Army, the Police and other complicit individuals in the killings at the Lekki toll gate.

The #EndSARS panel was set up in the wake of the October 2020 #EndSARS anti-police brutality protests to probe cases of human rights violation perpetrated by the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and other police units.

The panel was also mandated to probe the shooting of peaceful protesters by soldiers and police officers on October 20, 2020, at the Lekki tollgate.

Reacting to the leakage of the report, Mr Irabor explained that he could not, at the moment, comment on the content of the document, because he had not seen the official report.

He said the Nigerian Armed Forces are committed to their constitutional mandate and do not engage in ignoble acts.

“I am sure those of you in the media must have seen a report that was released through, in my view, a wrong channel, that is making the rounds in the social media,” he said.

Whether it is a true report, I can’t tell. But I’d like to indicate that the normal procedure is to have such a report submitted to the convening authority. And then, there will be a White Paper that will be presented, based on which one can make informed comments.

“But whatever it is currently, I’d like to indicate that the Armed Forces of Nigeria is a professional armed force. We are peopled by Nigerians and we remain committed to the constitutional mandate. So we will not at this point think that Nigerians should make disparaging remarks regarding the Armed Forces of Nigeria, in the sense that we are professional armed forces. If there are issues, of course, we address them within the ambit of the provisions.

“It would not be right to disparage men and women who have worked so hard to ensure that the territorial integrity of this nation is kept intact. So in the meantime, until I see the full extent of the report… ”

The CDS said the country’s armed forces were well-disciplined and would never engage in ignoble acts.
“I can assure that the Armed Forces of Nigeria are well-disciplined and we do not engage in any ignoble acts. If Nigerians do not trust us, then we won’t be doing what we are doing, and in any case, it is the Armed Forces of Nigeria; we are not talking of the police. So when the armed forces are called out, it is because there is a need; there is no one who doesn’t desire to live in peace.

“We need to understand that the armed forces are there to keep the peace, to provide the ambience that will enable each Nigerian to live his or her desires in peace and harmony. So let us not make inciting comments that will put the entire space on fire. That’s not right,” Mr Irabor said.

THE governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress APC, in the just concluded Anambra State election, Senator Andy Uba has recalled how he was removed as governor by the Supreme Court of Nigeria after 17 days in office, insisting that the current development about the 2021 election won’t hurt him.

Addressing APC members in Awka, Uba however said he had reviewed the outcome of the November 6, poll and resolved that there were enough grounds to challenge the declaration of Professor Chukwuma Soludo, the candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, as the winner of the election.

After an internal debriefing by the party and the campaign organization, Uba and the top echelon of APC led by the state chairman, Chief Basil Ejidike said they discovered that besides having enough grounds to challenge the declaration of Professor Soludo as governor-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the entire election was not conducted in substantial compliance with the rules governing such exercise.

He expressed profound gratitude to members of the party, the campaign team and Anambra people, pointing out that though he never took politics or quest for political office as ‘a do or die’ venture, he would nonetheless always follow the dictates of the law in seeking redress

He said: “I will start by thanking God who kept us all alive throughout the campaign and the election. Let me once again thank everyone that contributed to this election in one way or the other. Your efforts were not in doubt and I thank you all.

“We will, however, be heading to court with the discoveries we have, which show that the declaration of Soludo as the governor-elect is faulty.

“As governor, I was removed after 17 days of being sworn in by the Supreme Court of Nigeria and I did not die. So, the current development won’t hurt me. Power belongs to God and Him alone determines who he will entrust it to.

“Preliminary investigations showed that there were sufficient grounds for us and the party to challenge the declaration of the APGA candidate, Soludo as winner of the election by INEC and the ideal thing to do in the face of such discovery, is to approach the tribunal for redress”

The state chairman of APC, Chief Basis Ejidike also explained that the decision to seek judicial redress was, perhaps, the surest way to ensure that those who engineered the electoral heist of November 6, 2021 did not enjoy the fruits of their perfidy.

“Ndi Anambra and the world at large would bear testimony to the fact that, on the eve of the election, the outgoing Governor Willie Obiano administration had, through its Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. C. Don Adinuba, told everyone that the APC had written results of 10 local government areas

“Unknown to us, however, that false alarm was aimed at deflecting attention from the manipulation of the BVAS machine by APGA and a top official of INEC..

“We are, therefore, heading to court. APGA and INEC are aware that they compromised during the election and we have evidences to challenge INEC’s declaration in the court of law,” Ejidike said.

It’s no secret that interviews could be nerve-wracking, trying to impress while trying not to sound too desperate or too carefree. Sweaty palms, stuttering, and your brain starts skipping; no matter how confident you are, nothing can prepare you for what lies behind those interview doors.

Just when you think it can get worse, you get blessed with the worst interviewer possible. I have had my fair share of hostile interviewers, and wow, was it something! This aggressive tactic is a commonly used trick in a modern business known as the ‘stress interview’. The idea is to weaken the candidates by putting them in a high-pressure environment. Should you find yourself in such an uncomfortable situation, here’s how to professionally deal with a hostile interviewer –

Stay calm – It’s only natural for one to feel overwhelmed and emotional in a confrontational situation; don’t let your emotions get the best of you; stay calm and take deep breaths. Focus on the goal at hand, which is giving the interview the best version of yourself. The employer will lose out on a great employee like yourself because that alone is a huge red flag.

Watch your tone – Don’t let the interviewer’s tone or actions push you over the edge and make you say things that you might end up regretting. Remember that business networks of people are wide, and your negative response or behaviour in an interview could have lasting repercussions in wider circles even if the interviewer is wrong. Keep your answers short but effective in passing your message.

Remain confident – This is easier said than done, but this is the best approach. Sometimes, the interviewer might not realise their hostile behaviour because many things could have happened before the interview. If this isn’t the case and the interviewer is just being difficult, don’t let them win! Smile, relax and be as confident as possible; this will even throw them off balance.

Ask questions, too – You can take back control! Once the interviewer is done with questions, give room for your questions to be answered. Tell the interviewer you’d like to ask questions of your own, and if they try to be dodgy about it, convince them to give you a few more minutes of their time. Here are some questions you can ask –

* Questions about the interviewer: Find out who they are and where they sit within the company.
* Questions about the role: What tasks will you face daily? What targets will you be expected to meet?
* Questions about the department: Who will you report to within your department?
* Questions about the company culture: Where does the company stand on promoting a healthy culture and well-being? How does the business support its staff members?

Leave the interview politely – If you are not comfortable with the interviewer’s behaviour, it’s okay to leave. Aggressive behaviour from the interviewer could count as a major red flag, and you should save yourself the stress of attending the interview when you are no longer interested in the job. Go with your guts and ask to exit the interview politely; you can also address the interviewer’s action towards you and point it out as your reason for leaving. Express your discomfort and ensure you still appreciate the interviewers for their time.

When you come face to face with this type of interview, remember that you are not to blame. This has no reflection on you or your skills. Take control of your job search by gaining skills that will help you effectively navigate the tough world of work and get you your dream job.

The upper chamber of the National Assembly yesterday condemned the invasion of the Abuja residence of Supreme Court Justice, Mary Peter-Odili, by security operatives.

The Senate, which urged the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, to make public, all findings of investigation into the matter, commended him for making arrests and constituting a panel to investigate the raid on the Odili’s jurist residence.
he resolutions followed a point of order raised by Senator Betty Apiafi, during plenary which came under order 42 and 52 of the Senate Standing Rules, to move a motion on the “Urgent Need to Investigate the Invasion of Justice Mrs. Odili’s Residence by Security Agents.”

Leading debate on the motion, Apiafi noted that on October 29, 2021, security operatives invaded the home of the Supreme Court Judge, adding that Justice Odili is the second most senior judicial officer in Nigeria.
She recalled that a joint panel recovery unit of the Ministry of Justice, comprising of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the Nigerian Police and the Ministry of Justice, purportedly sought for a search warrant from an FCT Magistrate after a so called whistleblower claimed to have observed illegal activities allegedly going on in a house at Imo street, Maitama.

According to the ranking Senator, the incident, brings back to mind the similar invasion of homes of some senior Judicial Officers, including Chief Judges of the Supreme Court, and Judges of the Federal High Court in Abuja and other parts of the country in October 2016, which was widely condemned.

“Further worried that the home of such a highly revered judicial officer could be raised in such a manner by security agents.

“The Senate is disturbed that eleven days after the incident, though the Inspector General of Police claims some arrests have been made and investigations are still ongoing, even though the details of such arrest have not been made public.
Contributing to the motion, Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, said no member of the upper chamber “was at ease hearing the news of what happened.”

He added that the motion presented by Senator Apiafi, represents the collective desire of members of the National Assembly in ensuring that the government takes appropriate steps to bring to book all those found culpable.

According to him, doing so would send a clear signal on the need to respect the sanctity of the Judiciary and to also protect Judicial Officers in Nigeria, whose rights under the law must be protected.
On his part, Senator George Thompson Sekibo (PDP, Rivers East), recalled that the Port Harcourt residence of Justice Odili was invaded a couple of months ago.

He said: “Several reasons were given why thugs invaded the house. I don’t want to mention the reasons, so it does not bring in controversy.
“Recently, as the motion said, the house in Abuja was also invaded. And after a struggle, the security agents that invaded the place left the residence.

“They claimed to have brought a warrant from a magistrate court in Abuja.

“They claimed the Minister of Justice was aware of it. There are several claims.

“The Minister of Justice has denied and dissociated himself from that, the Chairman of EFCC has also done that.

“And I’ve read statements by the Inspector General of Police that he has carried some arrests and that they are investigating the matter.
“My problem is this, oftentimes, things happen and then police investigates and, in most cases, we don’t get the result of investigation.
“I pray that this investigation comes to limelight.”

Accordingly, the Senate in its resolutions condemned the invasion of the home of the second and most senior judicial officer in Nigeria, Justice Odili.”

He also commended the Inspector General of Police for the arrests already made and investigation panel he has instituted and further urged him to, “make public the outcome of investigations.”

You people that keep calling Nigeria zoo, but yet you all live in the zoo, use the zoo money, and the zoo government empower and employ most of you people. Sorry oh! but i just have to be the carrier of bad news, "YOU ALL ARE THE REAL ANIMALS"

Former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has dedicated his victory in the 2021 Anambra Governorship Election to three policemen killed when he was attacked by gunmen in April 2021 during a town hall meeting in his hometown in Isuofia in the Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State.

He spoke during an acceptance speech shortly after he was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission on Wednesday morning.

The Returning Officer of the Anambra Governorship Election, Prof Florence Obi, announced the result on Wednesday morning at the INEC office in Awka, Anambra State.

“That Charles Chukwuma Soludo of APGA, having satisfied the requirements of the law is hereby declared the winner and is returned elected,” the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar said on Wednesday.

Soludo, who was the apex bank governor between 2004 and 2009, was declared winner after a supplementary election was held in Ihiala Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday. He won 19 of the 21 local governments areas including Ihiala LGA.

Sixty one-year-old Soludo won with 112,229 votes beating Valentine Ozigbo of the Peoples Democratic Party, who polled 53,807 votes, and Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress who got 43,285 votes. Ifeanyi Ubah of the Young Progressive Party polled 21,261 votes came fourth.

Describing the election as a reflection of the will of the people, Soludo said He promised to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of the state while extending an olive branch to his contenders in the race.

“Let me say with utmost humility and gratitude to God, I accept the results of the 2021 Anambra Governorship Election as declared by INEC. And this reflects the supreme will of the Almighty God and an overwhelming sacred mandate of the people…This is a divine journey whose time has come.
“At this moment we must remember and must continue to remember all those who died during the course of this moment, especially the three policemen who were killed by unknown gunmen during our town hall meeting with youths in my ward. May God continue to grant their soul eternal rest,” he said.

Soludo, whose walk to victory was paved with stony challenges including legal battles and intra-party squabbles, thanked the judiciary for standing tall.

“The election itself tested the integrity of our federal institutions. Many times there were tensions, especially as one party boasted that it must take or ‘conquer’ but the judiciary stood for the integrity of the judiciary,” he said.

Soludo is expected to be sworn into office next March after the expiration of the two-term tenure of the incumbent governor, Willie Obiano, who is also of the All Progressives Grand Alliance.

Congratulations! After so much hard work, here you are receiving your employment contract. Maybe this is your first job or you are an experienced professional, the excitement of a new job might cause you to skim through the contract straight to the dotted line to append your signature.

Stop right there!

Depending on the experience level and industry, your job offer may come with a lengthy employment offer. While your prospective employer might pass it off as a formality, you never want to just skim and sign anything without delving into the details.

Here are 5 things to know before you sign:

Job title and duties – Before you read any further, are you signing up for the role you applied for? This may seem silly, but many employers call the same job different things internally and externally. For example, a Lead and a Manager might sound the same however the job description is different. If the title has changed since your interview, ensure the job description is familiar. Your new job title should reflect the role you’re taking on. If it’s vague, ask your employer to clarify your responsibilities and how you’ll work within your team. You don’t want to overestimate or underestimate your new role in the company.

Salary, benefits, and bonus – How much are you really getting paid? What’s the gross and what are you going home with at the end of every month? Most people confuse the gross salary for the net and are left pondering where the difference disappeared to when they get their first paycheck.

Also, some companies provide comprehensive benefits packages for their permanent employees. Some of the benefits you might be entitled to in this instance include a pension, HMO, and other diverse benefits. You might also be eligible for bonuses as part of your new role. Always ask where you are not specific and ensure that all benefits are stated on your contract

Start date, probation period, and working hours – Most employers usually just copy and paste this section, so you might want just to skim. It is important to note your start date and how long you will be on probation. Most employers use this probation period to decide if you are the right fit for the company and you also are given a chance to decide if the company is right for you.

Also, ensure that your contract lays out the terms of your work hours, will you be working the proverbial nine to five? Or is it eight a.m to six p.m? It’s normal to take on a few extra hours at your discretion but on the whole, you shouldn’t be working much more than what you’re contractually obliged to. And if you do, you need to know you’ll be compensated for your effort (or not)

Leave Allowance and other forms of leave besides annual – Everyone deserves a break so make sure that in addition to knowing your annual leave allowance, you should also know other forms of leave such as sick, casual, or study leaves. Look out for any restrictions such as particular times in the year you can’t take time off or limitations on the length of your leave. Read through your contract to know if you can roll over your leave and if your employer pays an allowance if you work during your leave.

Nondisclosure, non-circumvention, and when it’s time to go – Restrictive clauses, usually don’t apply during your time with an employer but only take effect after you choose to leave or you are terminated. However, you need to be aware of the stipulated terms before signing the contract. Will you be able to work with a competitor? Can you work for a company that does work for other competitors? How many years before you can mention the details of the projects you worked on while with your employer? And finally, how long should your notice period be before you can leave?

united next game is against watford i think.....cr7 fit score hatrick n dt ole out go silent

Manchester City inflicted another humbling home defeat on bitter rivals Manchester United with a routine 2-0 derby victory in Saturday's Premier League clash.

Pep Guardiola's side had failed to win any of their previous four league meetings with United but were deservedly two goals ahead at half-time.

Eric Bailly became the first United player to score an own goal against City in the Premier League and Bernardo Silva profited from some terrible defending to squeeze in a second shortly before the interval.

United, beaten 5-0 by Liverpool in their most recent match at Old Trafford, failed to offer any sort of response in the second half as the pressure continues to grow on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

United had kept three successive clean sheets against City in the league but were behind inside seven minutes when Bailly sliced Joao Cancelo's whipped cross from the left into his own net.

Cristiano Ronaldo had a powerful volley kept out by Ederson – United's only on-target attempt of the first half – but only David de Gea kept the scoreline down as City took complete control.

However, after keeping out Gabriel Jesus, Kevin De Bruyne and team-mate Victor Lindelof, De Gea was far too easily beaten by Silva, who ghosted in behind Luke Shaw and turned in Cancelo's cross from a tight angle.

Chances were hard to come by in a far quieter second period, with the visitors going closest to finding the net through a Phil Foden strike that grazed the outside of the post late on.

What does it mean? United lose again at Old Trafford

City may not have managed the five goals Liverpool scored here two weeks ago, but the manner of the victory was just as straightforward and was never in doubt from the moment they scored their second goal.

United have now lost eight matches at Old Trafford in all competitions this calendar year, which is their worst-such record since 1989, and could find themselves 11 points off top spot should Chelsea beat Burnley later on Saturday.

Guardiola's men looked far more like their usual selves on the back of last week's shock 2-0 loss at home to Crystal Palace, meanwhile, as they moved back to within two points of leaders Chelsea, who have that game in hand.

8 - Manchester City have won eight away Premier League matches at Old Trafford against Manchester United, more than any other side in Premier League history. Playground.

Cancelo runs the show

The attacking left-back played in the cross for Bailly's own goal and sent in a delightful delivery, albeit one that should have been dealt with, for Silva's strike – the Portugal international's third goal in his last four appearances at Old Trafford.

Cancelo had more touches (125) than any player on the field – Lindelof was United's most involved player with 67 – while nobody managed more shots (four) and tackles (four) in what was an impressive all-round display.

United's calamitous defending

From Bailly turning an easy-to-deal-with cross into his own net – one that should never have been allowed to enter the box in the first place – to De Gea and Shaw watching on as Silva turned in a second, United's defending was yet again shambolic.

The Red Devils have now conceded at least once in each of their last 14 home games in all competitions, their longest run without a clean sheet at Old Trafford since a club-record run of 21 between April 1958 and March 1959.

Key Opta Facts:

- City have won more away Premier League games at Old Trafford than any other team (eight). The away team has won nine of the last 12 meetings between United and City in all competitions (D1 L2), including each of the three games in 2021.

- United have conceded 11 home Premier League goals in six matches at Old Trafford this season, their most in their first six home league matches of a season since 1976-77 (also 11).

- United have taken just eight points in their last nine home league matches (W2 D2 L5) and have lost consecutive home league games without scoring for the first time since March 2014, when those defeats also came against Liverpool followed by City.

- Bailly is the first United player to score an own goal in the Manchester derby in the Premier League. The only other own goals in this fixture in the competition were in United's favour in February 2005 (Richard Dunne) and April 2013 (Vincent Kompany).

- United had just four touches in the opposition box in this match, their fewest in a Premier League match since the 2008-09 season (when Opta began recording the data). It was the fewest by a home team in a Premier League game since Fulham against Arsenal in September 2020 (three).

What's next?

United travel to Watford on their return to Premier League action after the international break. City host Everton at the Etihad Stadium on November 21.

There comes a time when you’ll have the following questions in mind: Should I tell them my salary range? Will they think I’m asking for too much? What if that scared them away?

These are often the most common questions job seekers ask themselves during salary negotiations, especially those that are still fresh on the market. If you ever want to earn what you deserve, it is essential to learn how to do it the right way.

These dos and don’ts of negotiating job offers and raises will help you get the best salary possible:

So what should you DO?

*Do your research – Carry out in-depth research into salaries for positions comparable to yours before you attend an interview. Be prepared to know the average starting salary for your position; in your specific location, and for someone with your experience level. Look into the range of salaries in that organization if possible; check online, check reviews, ask questions. Be realistic, though. Your bargaining power will be limited until you become more experienced in your field.

*Do point out your value – During interviews or conversations about salary increment, always talk about what you’re bringing to the table. What skills do you have and how will they be of value to the organization? Before spending your hard-earned money on a product or service, you always analyze the value it will bring to you, the same goes for the job market. It’s a marketplace; an exchange of services for a fee. How valuable are you and how much do you deserve?

Not knowing your value could result in the company undervaluing and underpaying you. Once you know your value, be confident in your negotiation. If you are negotiating a job offer with a potential employer, discuss what you will do to earn the salary you are asking for, using examples of accomplishments in prior jobs. When presenting your case for getting a raise from your current employer, highlight any accomplishments that contributed to growing your employer’s bottom line, this will help solidify your case.

*Do consider the entire package – Does the company have any other benefits to offer you? Are they worth taking into consideration? Salary is just one factor in the total compensation package, so don’t just get caught up in the number. Inquire about paid training, bonuses, days off, extra expenses, and so on. When all is said and done, the things that make your life easier, increase your skillset or save you time actually translate into more money.

*Do give a range – When negotiating for a new role, it’s a best practice to give a range of what you’re willing to receive as salary. This will give room for even more negotiation than sticking with one figure alone. Before beginning, decide how much you are willing to compromise and what you will do if your employer or potential employer doesn’t offer a totally acceptable salary. Maybe request for additional benefits, such as additional vacation time, data allowance, one day off a week or even early closure once a week. Be flexible in your negotiation.

*Do ask for advice – Don’t be afraid to ask for advice from older or more experienced colleagues. Reach out to someone you trust before the interview or salary review and ask for advice on what your range should be or how you should go about it. Doing this will allow you to gain some valuable advice about who to approach and how to make your case, as well as some possible history on precedents for negotiating in your role.”

What are the DON’Ts?

*Don’t look at how much your friends are making – It is very wrong and unprofessional to compare your salary with that of your friends or colleagues when negotiating. Make your case for yourself and only use YOUR accomplishments as justification for your salary request. You may be envious of your friends and acquaintances who have higher salaries, but many factors make it hard to compare. Do they work in the same company? Do you have the same job description? Do they take up more work than you do? Do they have more impact? These are questions you should ask yourself before comparing and answer honestly.

*Don’t be afraid – Be confident when negotiating, as long as you know what you’re bringing to the table then why not? Don’t be afraid to ask about other benefits the company can provide, as well as future raises and bonuses. Do try to obtain other concessions (shorter review time, better title, better workspace) or benefits (bonuses, vacation time) if you aren’t successful at negotiating a salary you want.

*Don’t rush the conversation – You’re not required to accept, reject or counter a job offer on the spot. When asked the question “What is your salary expectation?” take a few seconds or even minutes to think about it. When giving your answer, say “Considering the Job description and workload…..” This will positively influence your offer and give room for negotiation. If you’re given an offer on the spot, don’t rush to accept, It’s perfectly okay to thank the hiring manager, and then let him/her know you’d like some time (not more than 24 hours) to consider the offer and get back to her with either your acceptance or negotiation requests. Just make sure you respond in a timely fashion, or you might lose the offer.

*Don’t talk about your expenses – When negotiating salary with a potential employer or current employer, don’t tell the story of your life, don’t list out personal expenses as justification for your request – this doesn’t cut it. While these concerns are all valid reasons for needing more money and may have even been the motivation for trying to negotiate your salary in the first place, it is irrelevant to the employer. Focus on points that actually matter – your skills, your accomplishments, your plans and projections.

*Don’t be a dictator – It’s a conversation/negotiation, don’t drop a figure and say “that’s that”. Money is a sensitive subject, but you should never let a company have full control over your worth. Be both knowledgeable and understanding when discussing a salary negotiation. Information is power, once you have all your facts right and your value in check, you can then easily navigate through the negotiation process.

It is also important to remain respectful, even if the offer is well below what you think you deserve or are willing to accept. Don’t make threats during a salary negotiation. Threatening to quit your job will never get you the raise you want, and is extremely unprofessional.

The nationwide congress held by the All Progressives Congress, APC, across the States of the federation has produced two chairmen in Enugu State.

DAILY POST reports that earlier on Saturday, a former commissioner in Enugu State, Chief Ugo Agballah was announced as winner in one of the locations in the State. He belongs to a faction of the party which has the backing of former Senate President, Ken Nnamani.

However, while he was jubilating, an election was taking place at the Enugu State Secretariat of the APC, where the pioneer Deputy Chairman of the Party in the State, Comrade Adolphus Ude emerged winner.

Ude polled a total of 782 out of the 1, 300 votes cast during the exercise by delegates from the 260 political wards in the State.

He defeated Dr. Charles Chukwu who scored 202 votes, while Chief Benson Eze, who came a distant third, got 142 votes.

Ude was elected with the full members of the State Executive.

Chairman of the Enugu State Congress Committee, Mr. Jonathan Akaya, announced Ude as the winner.

Speaking during the exercise, the outgoing State Caretaker Committee Chairman of the Party, Dr. Ben Nwoye commended the congress delegates from all the three Senatorial districts of the State for the peaceful manner they conducted themselves throughout the exercise.

Nwoye, however, lambasted Nnamani, for spearheading a parallel congress in a private facility in Enugu, rather than coming to the State party Secretariat as director by the national leadership of the APC.

Speaking with newsmen shortly after he was declared winner, the new Enugu APC boss, Ude, said “I really feel fulfilled today, and want to say, to God be the glory, because it’s God that made it possible.

“I also want to commend in a special way, the Dr. Ben Nwoye-led exco and the Enugu state congress committee for conducting a free and fair election today.”

He promised to build on the feats recorded by the outgoing Chairman, Nwoye, whom he said, did well while piloting the affairs of the party in the State.

Elected alongside Comrade Ude were Chief Anike Nworga, who clinched the position of the Deputy Chairman, while the former State Administrative Secretary, Mr. Eva Asadu emerged as the Secretary of the party.

Others are Hon. Chuks Patrick Owo, Publicity Secretary, with 367 votes, beating his opponent, Hon. Kelvin Okenwa who scored 341, Hon Mrs Favour Asogwa emerged the State woman leader with 503 votes, to defeat Lolo Queen Nwankwo who scored 408 votes.

Also elected by the Congress, which ended around after 10 pm, were Mr. Chuks Adibe, Treasurer, Dr. Oby Aji, Financial Secretary, Hon. Ifeanyi Ede, Organising Secretary, Chukwudi Igwe, Legal Adviser, Sunny Umabi, Zonal Vice Chairman, Enugu East.

Meanwhile, it was gathered that Chime, Onyeama and other stalwarts of APC in the State were more disposed to the candidacy of a former military governor of Gombe State, Group Captain Joe Orji, who alongside other contestants boycotted the parallel congress held at an event center.

The Rivers State Signage and Advertisement Agency (RISAA) has shut down an electronic billboard which showed 60 seconds pornograhic video in the Garrison area of Port Harcourt on Thursday.
Two staff of E-Motion Communications Nigeria Ltd, owners of the LED billboard, have also been arrested.
Speaking during a press briefing on Friday morning, at the Garrison Junction where the billboard is situated, the Managing Director of RISAA, Hon. Anthony Okea, frowned at “the unprofessional display of obscene pornographic video by an outdoor practitioner on their LED billboard at Garrison,”

Okeah said that the billboard is now shut downed by the agency as authorized by the laws and some suspects have been taken into custody as investigation continues to ascertain the real motive behind their irresponsible act.
He further explained that RISAA is not responsible for the regulations of contents on billboards, adding that it is the sole responsibility of APCON.
Okeah said that he has called their attention to the offensive display of the pornographic video to know if APCON gave the approval or not and the reasons behind such disgusting act of abuse against the State.
“RISAA mandate by law is to regulate billboard structures in Rivers State. The visual aesthetic of Rivers State is of major priority to the Agency.” he added.
It was gathered that Motorists and pedestrians along the Garrison Flyover in Port Harcourt were shocked to see an electronic billboard mounted along the road play the 60 seconds pornographic video.
A motorist, Kingston Ekwere, who saw the pornography, said it caused traffic hold up around the flyover.
“I parked by the Garrison flyover waiting for it to get to my turn to load my car when I saw people looking at the bill board passionately and laughing. I immediately look towards the direction of attention and behold, it was a display of sex tape. The whole flyover went agog as everybody, motorists and people working, had to stop to watch the film as many condemned it and some youths were happy viewing it.” he narrated.

Nigeria’ Super Eagles would seek redemption when they clash against their Central African Republic counterparts in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifier at the Stade Japoma de Douala in Cameroon.

Recall that, Karl Namnganda scored a stoppage –time goal off a defensive slip to hand the three points to the Les Fauves when both teams clashed at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos on Thursday evening.

Gernot Rohr’s men get an immediate chance to rectify that anomaly when the 34th and 124th best teams in the FIFA rankings meet again today.

Skipper Ahmed Musa, who is looking forward to earning his milestone 100th cap for Nigeria at senior level, says he is more concerned with the Super Eagles taking all three points in the Day 4 encounter.

“I’m happy that I am about to win my 100th cap, which definitely is a thing of joy and pride for any football player at international level. However, I am more concerned about the three points. The three points here have become much more precious due to what happened in the first leg which we lost. The individual honour is welcome but I am more concerned about collective glory and our country’s pride.”

Nigeria remain top of the Group C of the qualifying campaign at the halfway mark with six points, two more than Cape Verde and Central African Republic, with three-pointer Liberia bottom of the table.

The three –time African champions, Nigeria would clash against the Les Fauves of Central African Republic by 2pmNigerian time.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said Nigeria is ready to extend a helping hand to South Sudan towards the political and economic stability of the country.

President Buhari made the promise in Addis Ababa during a bilateral meeting with President Salva Kiir of South Sudan.

Buhari further assured the full support of Nigeria to put all efforts into bringing long-term stability and prosperity to the entire continent.

‘‘Nigeria will contribute its quota as much as possible to the development of South Sudan. Take us into confidence and ask us what we can do,’’ Buhari told the South Sudanese leader.

He stressed that the need for cooperation among developing countries, the Nigerian leader said with investments in education, improved economy, and healthcare, things will surely improve.

On the situation in Guinea and Mali, President Buhari reiterated that African leaders must support efforts geared towards the return of democracy in the countries.

The President expressed concern that as long as Libya remained unstable, the proliferation of arms and the problems in the Sahel would continue.

In his remarks, President Kiir, who acknowledged Nigeria’s leadership role in Africa, appreciated the country’s effort in the liberation struggle of South Sudan.

He also commended the First Lady of Nigeria for assisting in the education of many South Sudanese girls in the country.

‘‘In West Africa, ECOWAS intervenes immediately whenever a country has a problem. That should be adopted in East and Central Africa,’’ he said.

President Buhari and President Kiir were among several African leaders that attended the inauguration ceremony of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia for a second five-year term in office.
