Dr. Bukola Saraki has made it known that he has been living in the same old house he lives even before he emerged Senate President of Nigeria.

The interaction broke between Saraki and a Twitter user, who urged the Senate President to drop his official mansion in a bid to relieve the country of expenses in this recessionary situation.

But the response of the number 3 citizen of the country was quite shocking as Saraki, the former governor of Kwara state, clarified that he still lives in his old house.

The Tweeter user, Akin Akingbesote with handle @shogbo 1, had asked Saraki to support the sale of the “Sir @bukolasaraki, could you kindly support the sale of the mansions for our Senate President #sellnationalassets to save our economy.”

Of which Saraki responded by saying “As part of cost saving measures, I stay in the same house I have been way before I became Senate President. We will continue to do more.”

The social media user, Akingbesote, who did not stop at that proceeds to queried President Muhammadu Buhari to sell Aso Rock and Presidential jets.

“Sir @MBuhari , could you kindly sell Aso Rock and Presidential jets. #SellNationalAssets to save our economy.”

The subject of National Assets disposal has been one of the major topical issues making rounds recently.

When asked about his interest in buying any of the government properties, Dangote was quoted as saying he dare not buy any of them even if he was asked to buy on credit. Prominent among the assets is Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Company.

If you are requested for

End-time and scam statistics. One does not need to have this infographic to know the state of education participation in Nigeria.

I quite agree lots of thousand primary schools might have been approved for the North, but the SE and SW have the highest enrollment and these figures given are only presented by the Northerners to get more allocation from the govt. Northerners scamming Nigeria since 1914. you call those children sitting under the tree school? and how many are those children sef if counted, minus those roaming the street begging, minus those who disdain western education and would prefer to enroll their wards at Islamic lessons.

#ScamNumber

the mistake u made was to continue d prank even while she was interrogating u.

now d least u can do is to ask her to bring anything, as in anything for you to swear with to prove you were joking and get family members involved to appeal on your behave.

I'm sure e dey sweet u while d prank was paining her. u too need to cry to make things right, if at all that will bring solution.

So becos U married her slim and she will remain slim forever? U better choose right based on better criteria. Most woman achieve their permanent body shapes after child bearing and by then u will come back to Nairaland and share ur testimony.

May God give u peace to bear this...either he comes back or other way. It's a pity we are in men's world...see lots of men taking advantage of their wives which is very bad.

I have sisters too and when i listen to their stories, I have no choice than to encourage them.

This is just like revenge of the killing that happened January in Ilorin involving one Bayo Ajia who was suspected to belong to one cultist group and murdered by a rival group.

Wasiu who was murdered yesterday March 27, 2015 was allegedly a cult member and one of those who macheted late Bayo two months ago.

Wasiu, also known as Ikoko Irin or Boss, had hitherto fled for Saudi after the incidence which claimed a rival member only to hang around few months which now led to loss of his life too. He was killed in cold blood around Sakamo/Ikokoro area of Ilorin.

According to eye-witness, the deceased was shot severally in the face and the image obtained, which is so gory, is an evidence to that.

Another source related that the sporadic shooting was so thrilling that the passersby thought what was going on was movie acting until things got so real.

“It was like a theatre scene when the gunmen arrived. They started shooting that everybody around had to runaway. We didn’t know what happened, we only discovered that the style of operation of the gunmen appeared like they were cultists.

“Before now, we had been observing Wasiu (the victim) because his action too was suspicious. He might be a cult member that was why he was away for sometime before yesterday’s incident”, a source said.

Please, viewer’s discretion is advised. Photos are graphic…

We all looooooooove our parents especially our mothers no doubt but everything should have a limit. If your boyfriend has refused to leave the mummy's boy zone and he has made it clear he would never leave there,its time to have a rethink and be ready to accept whatever you see.

Talking from experience I once dated a mummy's boy who went as far as telling his mum the kinda pants I wear,how my food tastes,the music I listen to, if i'm on my period his mum knew, even very intimate things about us weren't hidden until I couldn't cope with the thrash anymore. I'm gonna list some characteristics of a typical mummy's boy so you can compare and contrast your boyfriend.

1) He Nags a lot: this is usually not his fault because he has probably spent too much time with his mum! Women nag a lot about everything so don't b surprised when you having an argument with your bf and he doesn't stop nagging.

2) Woman wrapper: they are never shy with group of ladies,infact when discussing with ladies their mouths are always sharp. They know about all types of pants ranging from g-string to mama size, they talk about periods, weavons, makeup anything feminine ewwwwwww what happened to masculinity?

3) They never leave their fathers house even after 35: you hear comments like I don't ever wanna leave my mama, she's my gold. My babe cooks well and all but I can never stop eating mamas food, he comfortably brings every girl to mama for approval, even if he loves the babe and mama says no way, the decision is final.

4) He never stops driving mamas car: have you ever been on a date where his mum calls him to come drive her somewhere and he leaves immediately without apologies cos mama called? Kwatinue o

5) Mama shops for him: You see him saying sorry I don't buy my shirts, my mum knows my perfect size, she buys my clothes for me! Huh sister really?

6) Mama runs his financies: she has access to all his financies, infact he doesn't spend money without mamas approval, if mama says anything it's final. She dictactes how he spends his money! You hear things like baby I would get it for you, but let me consult my mum first, she's in charge of my money! Oh holy lord

7) If mama is an eckanker member he must also be an eckist o, and you must be ready to convert to an eckist if not mama would tell him to dump you and he wouldn't think twice.

Let me stop here! If you bobo is doing any of these and you can cope very well, no wahala but if you can't and has called his attention to the fact that you don't like it and he rebuked you, RUN. Go date a hardcore man and thank me later!

Ps: if she does the listed with her father em em em em em well the ball is in your court

Babe, u get mind o. U sidon write this kin thin . all ur point are noteworthy though

Have been seeing this ad for weeks o, just understand it now. These telecom people sha

So now people should see how relevant bloggers are. God use one to change this person's life. I'm happy for you, higher ground

Goody Goody is the most precious to me. You don't see it everywhere, even then. We eat it on special days, especially when aunt came visiting from Lagos.

Quiet not quite..oga OP.............Professor Utomi should stick to what he knows best........academically sound,but politically naïve!!!!...God bless Nigeria

if a professor of political economy does not understand money devaluation, both academically and politically, then who can?

INTROVERT:
how can he be standing tall when it took me almost 20 seconds to sight him....

someone must have lied.

I think some of us need to worry less, considering the 'saving account' part of the statement. What is yet ambiguous is that it says withdrawals/transfers but neglects deposits. Maybe someone could interpret this better.

For all avoidance of doubt the following receipts are however exempted from imposition of stamp duties: payments of deposits or transfer by self to self whether inter or intra bank; and any form of withdrawals/transfers from saving accounts;

Nevertheless, the policy is insane.

Professor Wole Soyinka has denied the recent comment associated to him, praising the qualities of the former Lagos State governor and All Progressives Congress-APC’s leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

The online report said Soyinka was admiring the APC leader for his veritable contribution of raising many governors, including Fashola, former Lagos governor and the Minister of Power, Housing and Transport, and the sitting governor of Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode; and also hijacking power from the Peoples Democratic Party in the last general elections.

The report said Soyinka praised Tinubu, liking him to an hero “saving Nigeria from the danger of falling into one party state”; “nurtured many renowned national successors” and surrendered his ambition for President Muhammadu Buhari.

The fake report further said: “Political juveniles believed that APC won because of the votes from the North. No!!!, APC’s victory was cemented the day Muhammadu Buhari and Asiwaju Tinubu resolved to work together”.

“Tinubu has the option of joining the PDP elites to hold us hostage for another decade but he gave his all to the masses to dethrone the elites”, the reports spiced.

Wole Soyinka, a Nobel Laurent in Literature and an emeritus Professor, who said the report was sent to him, had sent a mail to Premium Times on Thursday, denying in its entirety the report attributed to him.

Professor Soyinka said he could only recommend his recent occupational publication: The Republic of Liar- to caution the public “while the growing population of victims await the routine descent of the full operational wrath of Internet policing on all impudent impersonators,”

“It is difficult to prescribe for the sort of mind that finds itself so inadequate that it must foist its opinions on others, and with such confident sense of impunity. Kindly assist me in letting the public know that I am not in anyway connected with the publication that has just been forwarded to me…” said Soyinka.

Happy 58th birthday to Nigeria's former president Goodluck Jonathan!

Fellow Press deemed it fit to throw a gentle highlight on Dr. Jonathan's political career. Enjoy as you have a quick read!

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, is a academic turned politician. He came into limelight politics when he was sworn in as Deputy Goveronor of Beyelsa along with Diepreye Alamieyeseigha (of late memory) as the governor of the state on May 29th, 1999. He later became the governor in December 2005 on removal of Alamieyeseigha on account of corruption charges.

Jonathan did not stop there as he was picked as the running mate of the former president Umar Musa Yar'Adua (of late memory) and became the Vice President when his Peoples Democratic Parry (PDP) won the Presidential election in 2007. He however became the Acting President when Yar'Adua died, later sworn in a the President on 6 May 2010.

With the support of the former president and the then PDP godfather, General Olusegun Obasanjo (rtd.), Goodluck Jonathan contested for presidency in 2011 and had overwhelming victory against his opponents, including the Muhammadu Buhari of Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). President Buhari later defeated Jonathan in the subsequent election in 2015 on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC).

Jonathan, now a diplomat sent around the world to hold peace talk owing to the role he played in allowing peace when he lost to Buhari. Most world political observers were envisaging Nigeria will split after the general election owing to hate campaigns from the major political parties; threats from Niger Delta, the South Eastern Nigeria, to shed blood should Jonathan lose in the election; and the insecurity on the part of Boko Haram insurgents in the Northern Nigeria.

The pre-election heat was so much, and fear of post-election crisis grew to the extent that a panel was set up to enable key political parties sign peace accord that they would accept whatever the outcome of the election without resorting to violence and but adhere to legal means.

Buhari and Jonathan huge after signing peace accord

The world stood still, waiting to hear what might become of Nigeria's 2015 general election, but was caught in surprise when the then incumbent President Jonathan made call to the the phone of Buhari to congratulate him as the winner. This, but no other factor, was what triggered the post election peace. Nigerian and world at large will never forget this noble and gentleman role Jonathan played.

We have capped a brief impacts made by Dr. Jonathan-led administration.

1. Freedom of the press. Jonathan created an atmosphere where journalism is practised at its best. Reporters and media houses can not only criticize the federal government but even the president. Now that Nigerians have tasted it, they are used to it. This is a sharp divergence form the norm of 30 years of military rule.

2. Jonathan conducted free and fair elections during his tenure. This include the 2011 poll which was adjudged to be the most credible election of its magnitude that has ever been conducted in the country, though it was not without its flaws. Unlike in other administrations, the Goodluck Jonathan administration has given a free hand to the country’s electoral umpire, INEC, to perform its statutory duties. He is also known not to intervene with electoral matters, making sure judiciary is independent during when any party desire election redress.

3. YOUWIN (The Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria ) programme initiative in 2011 where thousands of unemployed creative youths across Nigeria have empowered. The programme s to generate jobs by encouraging and supporting aspiring entrepreneurial youth in Nigeria to develop and execute business ideas that will lead to job creation. Though the programme reported to be halted by the present administration.

4. Additional nine federal universities were established across the country in states where federal degree awarding institutions were are not available.
