Gambia’s president-elect Adama Barrow who vowed to take office on January 19 despite the refusal of outgoing President Yahya Jammeh to give up power has been killed by unknown assailants.
The assailants overpowered the security guards of Mr. Barrow, leaving two of the guards dead and other six injured from gunshots.
President Yahya Jammeh, the ‘prime suspect’ has denied any involvement in the incident.
The assassination of Mr. Barrow comes few days after he referred to the country’s constitution that a court action taken by Jammeh cannot prevent the winner of the poll from assuming office as mandated by the constitution.
He was responding to Jammeh, who said Saturday that a decision of the Economic Community of West African States to send troops to ensure a peaceful transition of power was a “declaration of war” and called for a fresh poll.
“It should be crystal clear that filing an election petition is the private matter of a loser in an election. It does not prevent mandatory constitutional processes from taking place,” Barrow said.
ECOWAS, the African Union and the United Nations could only intervene if “the two presidents fail to do, with impeccable thoroughness, what the constitution of the republic demands,” he said.

God will punish all the God forsaken southern Christians who continue to spread hate and who continue to blame the north for all their woes and past failures. Continue crying and lamenting, north has nothing to do with your inability to keep to your religious laws and injuction. The atheists are winning you over to their secularism by the day. Leave Islam out of your predicament

call it withdrawal method, Coitus Interruptus or Onanism is an ancient view of family planning, it has been discovered long time ago that it doesn't stop one from getting pregnant. So nobody should decieve you. go and read modern sexual and sexuality books on the subject.

Irrespective of what ever anybody will say, we strongly believe that this government is working. From the improve security in the north -east and other places to encouraging of local production to the fierce war against curruption we know there is going to be light at the end of the tunnel. Keep hoping, SAI BABA!

It has now been signed by 4.6 million people

A petition asking for the result of the US election to be reversed is now the most popular in the history of Change.org.

The signatories – who total 4.6 million people – call on the Electoral College to stop Donald Trump from being President, which is a theoretically possible but never-before-attempted way of altering the result of the US election. Hillary Clinton won millions more votes than Donald Trump, but Mr Trump became President-elect because of the voting system.

The petition is titled “Make Hillary Clinton President” and argues that because Ms Clinton won the popular vote she should be made President. It also argues that the President-elect is “unfit to serve”.

With 4.6 million signatures, the petition has over two million more votes than the second largest campaign on the website. That was a campaign asking for the Yulin Dog Meat Festival to be shut down, which was begun three years ago.

The petition against Mr Trump was begun just after the election on 10 November. It was started by social worker Daniel Brezenoff.

Signatures to the petition are based on the idea that it is still possible for the result of the election to be reversed. The Electoral College system requires that representatives of each state cast ballots to decide who will actually become the new President – those members of the college are supposed to vote for whoever won their state, but could theoretically change their mind.

“On December 19, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots,” the petition writes. “If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, in 14 of the states in Trump’s column, they can vote for Hillary Clinton without any legal penalty if they choose.”

Since the petition has started, some legal proceedings have been launched to test the legal penalty in those other states. There has never really been any need to enforce them, since faithless electors make up only a tiny number of people, but activists are looking to encourage more people not to vote this year.

The petition itself argues that the Electoral College should change its mind because of the results of the popular vote.

“Hillary won the popular vote,” the description reads. “The only reason Trump “won” is because of the Electoral College.

“But the Electoral College can actually give the White House to either candidate. So why not use this most undemocratic of our institutions to ensure a democratic result?”

There are another 6,000 petitions related to Mr Trump on the Change.org website.

JUNGLE JUSTICE, BARBARIC!

PaulIdu:
Buhari belongs in Jail at the Hague..I really regret ever voting him

you never voted for him you are a wailer

Wetin concern me?

DrPRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI returned to the country after a three-day intensely busy State Visit to Germany which, as is usual with his foreign engagements, was characterized by punishing schedules.

Unfortunately, an important trip such as this one planned to boost trade and investment, enhance security partnership and pitch the country to eager investors became overshadowed by public outcry over some remarks President Muhammadu Buhari made in Germany, which have sadly been misconstrued by the media and some members of the public.

I can assure you that President Buhari’s sense of humour is one of his most distinguishing characteristics, despite his stern mien.

His comments clearly do not reflect his attitude towards women, a number of whom he has appointed to key positions in his administration, neither do they reflect his attitude towards his wife, Hajiya Aisha, as anyone can see from their history together.

Unfair Insinuations

President Buhari has been an invaluable support to his wife, and I know that he has great plans for every Nigerian woman. Five of his daughters have acquired university degrees. One of them just finished law school and another one undertakes a higher degree program.

I hope that all well-meaning Nigerians will put an end to the unfair insinuations that have been generated by President Buhari’s jocularity. Seeing a well-meaning leader being so misunderstood is painful for me.

Let us hope that God continues to give him the grace and wisdom he requires to steer Nigeria through this difficult time in our country’s history.

In the course of this historic visit, he held formal talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel, a roundtable with the German President Joachim Gauck, a meeting with business leaders and an interactive session with Nigerians resident in Europe. A number of sides, but equally important meetings were dotted in-between these.

Three big-ticket items on President Buhari’s Berlin agenda were security, trade and investment, climate change and its consequences for the Nigerian eco-space. A breakthrough was achieved in all areas covered by the discussions.

1. Bilateral Relations
Chancellor Merkel was the first leader of a major economic power in the world to have foreseen what a Muhammadu Buhari administration would mean to Nigeria, Africa, and the world. As Chairperson of the “G 7” group of industrialized nations, she extended a hand of fellowship to him upon his victory in the 2015 elections. She asked him to be ready with his wish list and be present at the G 7 meeting to brief its leaders.

Since that time, there had been a big demand for President Buhari all over the world, a demand that our officials in Foreign Affairs insisted must be cashed on or else we missed the opportunity.

President Gauck came here in February at the head of a business delegation, a visit that pushed the existing relations up by several notches as manifested by the setting up of a one-stop investment center to facilitate foreign investment and partnerships.

Germany has also proposed a twining of two cities, Lagos and Frankfurt to facilitate the sharing of experience, meeting of businesses, trade and investment as well as exchange of visits by officials.

In the course of the visit by President Gauck, a pledge by the EU to spend fifty million Euro (€50 m.) against terrorism in the Lake Chad basin area was announced.

President Buhari’s state visit brought closer the relationship between Nigeria and Germany in addition to breakthroughs in several areas of negotiations.

2. Business/Investments
The other key success area is the investment. The President and his team held a highly successful business forum which had in attendance over 100 Nigerian and German business leaders with interests in industries across Manufacturing, Information Technology, Healthcare, Construction, Training, Agro-processing, Power, Mining and Consumer businesses.

In a speech at the meeting, President Muhammadu Buhari decried the current low level of trade and investment between both countries and Nigeria’s openness for business and long-term investment from Germany. He highlighted the steady work of renewal that has started in the country and the progress that is being recorded in the government’s pillars of security, governance, and the economy.

He also presented a strong case on Nigeria’s compelling fundamentals and stated the priority sectors of the government in which investments are being sought as being Agriculture, Industrialization, Solid Minerals, Digital Economy, and Infrastructure, especially power generation.

The biggest gypsum producer in the world has already obtained an exploration license for the mineral and is looking to commence local production in Nigeria. A well-known consumer brand with over 50,000 employees worldwide is considering the production of its laundry detergent locally. The company has already invested $250 million locally, with 900 employees. The transition to local production will significantly increase the number of Nigerians employed.

A Nigerian-based pharmaceutical company in partnership with a German conglomerate is also to commence a renal testing business in Nigeria before the end of the year

3. Finance
The President stated that the Nigerian Development Bank will soon commence operations to help provide additional funding to the Small and Medium-Scale Enterprises (SMEs). As a large contributor to the economy, funding for the SMEs will help spur inclusive economic growth. He thereafter charged government officials and the business community to enhance the process of achieving tangible results that are mutually beneficial to both countries.

4. Economic Relations
A significant takeaway from the Presidential engagement in Germany is the agreement to give vocational skills training to thousands of our youth.

Germany is always known to be a strong developer of apprentice skills. In addition to their reputation for quality education, the distinguishing feature of the German economy is that emphasis on skill development.

What President Buhari got from this trip is a commitment by Germany to share with Nigeria their skills in agriculture, IT, telecommunications, machinery, aviation, vehicles, healthcare, construction and so forth.

As part of the steps towards imparting the vocational skills, there will be a collaboration between the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) and a Nigerian conglomerate to build a technical school for artisans. The school will train Nigerians for three years, of which 50percent of the time will be spent in the school and the remaining 50percent of the time spent gaining practical experience. This model will be scaled up for the other parts of the country based on the success of this cooperation.

5. Agriculture
Nigeria and Germany had useful discussions on a program of food processing locally, rice and oil milling with the aim of leavening that country’s experience in a new plan by the administration to create wealth in rural communities.

There also plans for a financing fund for agriculture in Nigeria to assist small and medium size entrepreneurs and cooperatives in the agricultural sector.

6. Energy/Power
A renewable power company with advanced and affordable solar technologies is going to commence operations in Nigeria. The company is headed by a Nigerian and have commenced the groundwork to commence operations early next year.

Following the MOU at the Bi-national Commission, agreements were also struck for energy partnership in renewable energy. Several states characterized by hot weather, mostly in North have signed for solar Independent Power Project, IPPs. A 30 Megawatt power plant is coming up in Adamawa while Bauchi, Benue, Gombe, Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto, Katsina and some others are in the queue.

7. Security
Germany has offered Nigeria support in the war against terrorism with mine detectors, radar equipment, and a field hospital.

Chancellor Merkel also pledged increased involvement of Germany in supporting Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs and the reconstruction of their destroyed communities.

8. Immigration
Another key area of cooperation is immigration.

There are thousands of illegal immigrants from Nigeria currently in Germany. On their records, 20,000 Nigerians enter their country each year. This is a sore issue for Germany. Of these numbers, only about nine percent of those who enter clandestinely qualify for legal asylum. To deal with the issue, they have indicated to Nigeria their willingness to train all prospective deportees in skills they can use back at home. In addition to this, two other Nigerians will be given free vocational training for everyone deported illegal immigrant.

9. Climate Change
President Buhari never missed an opportunity to make a pitch for the recharging of the Lake Chad, now only ten percent of its original size, whenever he met the leaders of rich countries.

He has been persuaded a long time ago that the best way to save the lake Chad and the people who inhabit its basin from the corrosive effect of the climatic change is to divert water from the Congo Basin to the Lake Chad.

A study financed by Nigeria indicated that USD 15 Billion will be needed to do this but it is the kind of money that neither this country nor its neighbors can muster.

Having successfully established that the climate change has a lot to do with the drastic decline of livelihoods in the area and is the root cause of the Boko Haram insurgency, the President is convinced that recharging the Lake is no longer the sole business of the Lake Chad Basin countries but that of the wider world.

Given her commitment to saving the environment, Chancellor Merkel had shown keenness in the project and is willing to be a part of the effort.

Her reported earmarking of €18 billion for the project was misconstrued from her speech. After a repeated playback of the speech, the same conclusions were unfortunately drawn. Angela Merkel’s commitment is however to the tune of €18 million on the Nigerian side and the rest €32 million to the rest of the Lake Chad basin countries, with all of the money coming from the European Fund. Nevertheless, eighteen Million to support ongoing efforts in the North East is still a mouthwatering amount.

10. New and Pending Issues
The Nigerian delegation also had useful discussions on road and rail development, gas exploration, equipment and surveillance for the protection of oil and gas infrastructure in Niger Delta, upgrading of Defense Industries Corporation, DICON, cooperation in rule of law and polio eradication.

Last but not the least, the President used a moment of his time in Germany to act his role a Commander-in-Chief by paying a visit to a recuperating army officer injured in the course of duty in the North East.

Chineme Okafor in Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to begin to search for crude oil and gas from the Benue Trough, NNPC’s Group Managing Director, Maikanti Baru, disclosed tuesday.

Baru said in Abuja that the president’s directive was part of efforts by his government to guarantee energy security for the country, through oil and gas mining from other parts of the country outside the Niger Delta.
The directive however came few weeks after Buhari asked NNPC to resume oil and gas exploration in the Chad Basin.



Baru said then that the Chad Basin was prolific and would not be left untapped.
He disclosed the president’s directive on the Benue Trough to a delegation of Benue State government that paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja. The outcome of the meeting was stated in a statement from the Group General Manager Public Affairs of the corporation, Mallam Garuba Deen Muhammad.

However, reports indicate that the Benue Trough is a major geological formation underlying a large part of Nigeria, and extending about 1,000 kilometer north-east from the Bight of Benin to Lake Chad.

The statement also said that both NNPC and Benue have reinvigorated their collaboration on an ethanol production project.

Baru noted in the statement that ethanol when blended with petrol ensures excellent performance of vehicles, and such energy sufficiency and proficiency were part of the cardinal objectives of the NNPC.

The statement also explained that the leader of the delegation, Chief Terwase Orbunde, had earlier commended the NNPC for resolving the recent fuel supply challenges and pledged the readiness of the state government to support the quick take off of the ethanol project, as it would generate jobs for Nigerians.

According to the statement, Orbunde assured the NNPC of full support and cooperation from the state government and the host communities.
He added that the government fully identified with the energy policy of the federal government.

It said the ethanol project was part of what NNPC initiated as its renewable energy programme in August 2005 in conformity with the Kyoto Protocol agreement to which Nigeria is a signatory.

It stated that the primary aim of the programme is to link the agricultural sector with the oil and gas industry, as well as gradually reduce the nation’s dependence on imported gasoline, reduce environmental pollution as a result of consumption of wholesale fossil fuel and create a commercially viable industry that can generate sustainable domestic jobs.

Biafman:
Reno is a fool only by insinuating that line. Hausa/Fulani are the most illiterate set of people in Nigeria. Some of them are only literate in reading and writing arabic, not even their hausa/fulani language.
Speaking is different from reading and writing which is what casts anyone in being either literate or illiterate, and when we classify any group as being literate or illiterate, arabic/islamic education does't come to mind because that is a useless sort of education that leads you to no where but only to commiting acts of terrorism, rather what comes to mind when clasifying literate/illiterate is western type education.

myopic, there are more books written in Hausa than any sub-saharan language i ve personally read more than 200 hausa novels, I don't know of any Nigerian writer that writes in any other Nigerian language. Reno is not a fool he is well inform on this he say it exactly as it is. No amount of hate from any quater wilk change that fact. The whole wide world is aware of this long ago you guys may continue to fool yourselves is a free world.

no one is even asking for $1=N1.He should just return Nigeria to the way he met it chikenaaa

this is how he met it

SamMilla1:
They see the masses as bunch of blockheads and they are not far from the truth.

When a full grown adult still believe that fish swallowed one Jonah, a human being and he lasted 4 days in the belly of the fish before coming out alive, won't you simply say the person is a Blockhead?
Half of these people studied about oxygen in secondary schools.
When a full grown adult still believe that one Muhammed flew away on a horse, won't you call him a Blockhead?

....
And the way they are permanently programmed is to start attacking me instead of considering and studying the possibility of a woman giving birth to a son without sexx or any form of sperm.
I have one shot at this life and I chose not to waste it around people who would pray rather than think.

Please don't ask your Jesus or Muhammed to have mercy on me because of my post and my belief. If you want to help, ask Buhari and his government to give me good roads, electricity, water and other basic amenities first.
I will discus about the gods when I am dead, I heard that's the only time you can meet them.

I don't think you know what you are talking about, you ve gone off key. Who care if you are a bloody atheist, live your life the way you like that's purely your business but please leave religion and religous personalities out of your it.

End time! The world now celebrates and glamourises despicability and immorality, frown at and punish morality and decency we are in real danger

This post still doesn't make any sense

Why are you such a pained fellow?never seem to be happy for other people's achievement.God!it's all over you.
