Those I will Arrest When I Become President - Ayodele Fayose shocks Nigerians


People's Democratic Party chieftain, Ayodele Peter Fayose has reacted to the arrest of his close associates by the EFCC over the alleged diversion of bail out funds.

Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has said that those arresting people today will be arrested tomorrow.

This followed his insistence that he will become Nigeria’s next president.

Fayose, in a series of tweets on Thursday night, was reacting to the arrest of Toyin Ojo, his Commissioner for Finance by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The Governor insinuated that some people in Aso Villa were using the security and anti-graft agencies to intimidate him.

“The arrestors of today would be arrested tomorrow.

“Those who gave reasons@realDonaldTrump won’t be POTUS know better now. I want to be President of Nigeria, that’s what I will be.

“They think they can use @officialEFCC to intimidate us, we are waiting. But tell the Villa hawks that last year, they used DSS, it failed.

“They remembered bailout fund the moment I made it public that I was declaring for President. So, Ekiti was the only state that got bailout?,”

Everyone hates malaria, we also hate the welts we get from mosquito bites. Here's how to prevent getting bitten from mosquitoes.

A greater number of Nigerians visit the hospital because of malaria. Statistics show that malaria kills more people than HIV/AIDS.

We all know the cause of malaria is mosquitoes. So to prevent malaria, just avoid mosquito bites, right.

Yeah, that’s the problem, it’s almost impossible to avoid mosquitoes. They don’t seem to die; you can spray the whole room with insecticide till you’re blue in the face, they find a way to survive.

So the best thing to do is probably make sure they don’t come near you at all. On Dealdey, you can purchase this set of mosquito repellent bracelets.

They’re made of pure citronella oil and other components that make it impossible for insects to come near the wearer.

It can be used both indoors and outdoors. It is also safe for all age groups and even infants can wear the bracelet.
purchase the bracelets for N500 only.

It's getting tougher and tougher for phone makers to differentiate.

So LG's latest bright spark appears to be a phone that integrates an ultrasound mosquito repeller in its back hump, in an effort to appeal to users in India.

The K7i's sound emitting gadget works on a similar basis to devices we've had for years on the market, which emit ultrasonic waves inaudible to humans, to repel mosquitos. LG already includes this in other home appliances it makes, such as air conditioning units and even TVs.



The "Mosquito Away" K7i phone is really LG's existing midrange K7 Android smartphone, with the speaker as a removable back case.

When you buy the K7i, LG will throw in a regular flat case that'll help your phone fit into a pocket more easily — but that will also take away its mosquito-repelling abilities

It is a tough task to save part of monthly income as an average salary earner in Nigeria. I see and hear friends complain about how their salary cannot sustain them for a month and they get broke before the month end.
It is believed by most people that a job with a good pay gives people an opportunity to save more. This means with this kind of job, you can afford so many things without worrying about your income and can also save a substantial amount of the income for other projects.

Well, the truth is you have not gotten that job with a huge pay yet, so you need to prepare yourself for that big-paying job coming soon by learning how to take some really drastic frugal saving steps to save more with a monthly job.

Here are seven ways to save more as a monthly salary earner.

1. Hitch a ride with a colleague

Instead of taking your car or a public transport to work in the morning or when leaving the office at the close of business in the evening, you can hitch a ride with a colleague who owns a vehicle.
Find someone, not necessarily a colleague, it could be someone who works around your office. All the money spent on transportation and fuel could be saved for other purposes.

2. Go for a cheaper data plan with lots of bonus

Data subscriptions are quite expensive in Nigeria. Try quitting your expensive data plan and look for a telecommunication service with cheaper data plans and that give a whole lot of awoof (freebies) and bonuses.
You end up saving extra that could have been spent on an expensive data plan.

3. Make more of online calls

As small as it looks, buying airtime is expensive when you calculate how much you spend on calls and texts. With a new cheap data plan, try to make more of online calls and chats instead of calling and texting

WhatsApp and Facebook are good examples of social applications that provide online chat, video and voice calls.

4. Take a bit out of your colleague meals

Most workers don't have the time to wake up as early as 3 a.m to cook for work, so they buy lunch at the office. If you fall into the category of people who can't cook from home, you don't have to buy lunch every day at work.

You can skip breakfast and just have a cup of tea or coffee which could sustain you till midday and you can just eat a bit out of some of your colleague's food until you are satisfied.

eating with colleagues (123rf)
Ridiculous as it sounds, people do it. You just have to find the colleagues that won't frown at it. It would save you extra cost of not having to spend on lunch at work.

5. Learn how to bargain

Some people are natural bargainers. They know how to bargain on anything. Try to up your negotiation skills.

learn the power of bargaining

With the power of bargaining, goods and services that are said to be expensive, you can get them for good and reasonable price. Bargaining helps to save the extra that could have been spent buying goods and services.

6. Ask for discounts

People don't really ask for discounts when shopping for goods and also services. Be confident and ask for a discount. It is your money you are about to spend. The worst they can tell you is that there is no discount.

Speaking of discounts, there are some supermarkets that put large discounted sales on some products that are about to expire, probably six months to expiration.

Asking for a discount won't hurt.
If I am not sure of any I know about one of the largest supermarkets in Nigeria that gives such discounts on products. Take advantage of such discounts because you tend to save more from them.

7. Reduction of daily consumption

We all have household essentials that we need for daily use like toothpaste, bathing soaps, hair cream, shampoo, detergent. You can save daily consumption by reducing the amount you use.

If you are fond of dispensing toothpaste that covers the whole brush, you can just cut it by half. You can reduce and still get the output you need.

You can reduce daily essentials and still get the output you need.

By doing this, essentials last twice as long which means less visit to the supermarket for a new toothpaste or other essentials.

I find the thought of naming the babies straight from the hospital the day they are born appealing...no sinrenren.

very appealing to the mind but difficult not to do the celebration in this our society

[quote author=Windflower post=60796705]Its not difficult, few church members come they sit in your living room or rent small chair if its not enough,after the naming,you share whatever you have to .Everything is already over within a space of 3hours.I know someone who used this method


the question is that, if this naming ceremony is not done by Pastor or Cleric at all,, could there be any consequence

The Ogun government says arrangements are on to introduce its branded rice into the market before December.

Mr Tosin Ademuyiwa, the Special Assistant to the Governor on Agriculture, disclosed this to newsmen in Abeokuta on Friday.

Ademuyiwa said that rice would be available following massive planting of the commodity during the rainy season.

He said that the commodity branded, ‘MITROS rice’ would be produced and packaged in the state.

Ademuyiwa explained that harvesting of 1,500 metric tonnes of rice had began in various rice farms at Eggua in Yewa axis and Onigbedu in Ogun Central.

“At Eggua rice farm, rice will be harvested from 262 hectares of farmland while 110 hectares are at Onigbedu rice farm.

“Another 100 hectares of rice farm will be harvested at Iloti Ijebu within the next one month.

“The harvesting of rice will reduce the dependence of the state on imported rice and reduce its price in various markets, ” he said.

Ademuyiwa also said the state government was working hard to solve the problems associated with clearing of farmland by making land available for agricultural purpose.

Government, he added, also promised to provide inputs and processing facilities for farmers to ease the challenges facing the sector.

It is not everyone that spends money on naming. You could call a Pastor to come pray and name the child without any other person involved.
It is not all tribes that throw parties and even pick aso ebi for naming.
I intend to just call a Pastor to pray.[/quote]Christian will find it difficult to do this because they will invite all church members to attend there ceremony

[quote author=MykOnyxo post=60758707]what exactly is going on... tell me

some people were discussing about the issue, and I was like, is it compulsory to waste the hard earned money that could be use for other things

Evaberry:
it's not compulsory

There are no consequences

Nigerians just like troubling themselves with unnecessary things.


most people only do it because of tradition or spirituality(religion) I see it as a waste of money and time and will never do it

you sound not be religiously active

Child dedication or naming ceremony, any how you call it,
is it compulsory to observe this,
and if anyone choose not to,
what could be the consequence ?
It's just a religious activity. though my opinion

Doghari:
How many almajiri child voters whom you yorubas supported in 2015 will vote for a kaffir like him?

*just thinking aloud*

remember there are great numbers of Christian in the North

Pastor and General overseer of the Redeem Christian Church of God Pastor E. A ADEBOYE is a great man of God with Church branches all over the country also in abroad.
Just wandering with the profuse number of RCCG member nation wide, if Baba E.A ADEBOYE should contest for president coming 2019, what do you think will be the outcome of the election.

Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Professor Itse Sagay, has vowed that the body would ensure prosecution of bank chiefs who helped looters hide stolen funds.He said this on Tuesday at a public lecture in Lagos organized by the Nigerian Society of International Law.Sagay said the “epidemic of high-profile corruption” was committed with knowledge of bank chiefs.“They must not get away with it. In my own little way, we are going to push for the prosecution of such bank chiefs. They must be prosecuted”, he said.He noted that the legislature, senior lawyers, Special Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), and some “hostile and powerful judges” work against corruption efforts.“There is a gang up of the powerful political, business, and banking elite that is determined to frustrate the anti-corruption struggle”, he added.The legal luminary lamented that National Assembly allocated N125 billion to themselves alone this year and that while the United States President earns$400,000 per annum, a Nigerian senator earns over $1.7 million.Sagay said besides a basic salary of N2.4 million per month, they earn allowances such as hardship (50 percent of basic salary), newspaper allowance (50 percent), wardrobe allowance (25 percent), entertainment (30 percent), recess (10 percent), and leave (10 percent), among others.The total allowances, he said, amounts to N29.5 million per month and N3.2 billion per annum.“Perhaps the most notorious example of the legislators’ resistance to the war against corruption is the rejection of the right of the executive to choose the persons who will spearhead that struggle,” he added.“The clear impression is created that Nigerian legislators are in office for themselves and not for the populace.”“Not surprisingly, the National Assembly has not passed a single bill for the promotion of anti-corruption war since it commenced business in July 2015.“The Whistle Blowers Protection Bill, the Proceeds of Crime Bill,and the Special Criminal Court Bill remain in a virtual state of stagnation.”“What evidence do we need to establish the hostility of the Eighth Assembly to the anti-corruption war?” Sagay quipped.

Why babies should not be bathed 24 hours after birth —NISONM President - Tribune
tribuneonlineng.com

President, Nigerian Society of Neonatal Medicine (NISONM), Professor Chinyere Ezeaka, examines the plight of newborns in Nigeria, and says it is worrisome, in this interview with Sade Oguntola.
What is the current situation of newborns in Nigeria and why is your society interested in such an issue?

Nigeria has the highest number of newborn deaths in the whole of Africa and the second highest in the world, coming second after India. Nigeria looses about 264,000 newborns every year, which comes to about 70,000 newborn deaths every day and about 30 newborns die per hour. This is totally unacceptable, given the fact that 90 per cent of these deaths in newborns are preventable.

The major causes of these deaths are prematurity, birth asphyxia (when babies fail to breathe immediately at birth), infection and neonatal jaundice.

You know after delivery, everybody is waiting for these new babies to cry, but due to many antecedent problems, these babies do not cry, and so that is a big problem.

The society has been playing a crucial role to help reduce these major causes of deaths in newborns. Our strategic objective is hinged on advocacy and partnerships with other relevant stakeholders to solve the problem of newborn deaths. We are also building capacity to every partner that is working on newborn health to reduce these deaths.

And in addition to neonatal deaths, we also have a lot of still births. So all these amount to a lot of wastages; deaths of these newborn babies who end up not achieve their potentials.

How are these preventable?

When babies are born premature, you must make them to breathe and to sustain breathing. Respiratory support is very critical to maintain the respiration and continual breathing.

Early and exclusive breastfeeding still remains core to the first immunisation for the newborn to withhold all the infections that abound.

Breast milk gives the child the early best start in life to achieve his life goals, without all the numerous complications that they have when the mother does not breastfeed.

Also, hand washing and the use of chloxidene gel for the umbilical cord care helps to prevent infections.

For modality of transport, kangaroo mother care should be embraced and then as a standard of care, the baby should be kept warm in the kangaroo position.

In science, evidence has shown that when a preterm baby is put skin to skin, that generates warmth, keeps the baby closest to the breast and that it can be used as a modality of transport for a newborn.

It is being used globally for the past 37 years and it is still just catching on very slowly in Nigeria. Incubators are not enough for the Nigeria’s teeming population of preterm babies; we do not have electricity to sustain the incubators and you also need to maintain those incubators.

What about birth asphyxia?

Every delivery centre, even traditional birth attendants (TBA) need to be trained on how to use the ampule bag to initiate breathing in the golden minute. So, instead of turning a baby, beating the baby, turning the child upside down and slapping the baby, this equipment will be put on the baby’s nose and squeezed to expand the lungs of the baby. This is applied within one minute of delivery to ensure air goes in and you see this baby cry.

Unfortunately, many delivery centres do not have this ampule bag which cost about N5,000 despite its importance to initiate breathing. If you do not give oxygen to a baby’s brain within five minutes, that brain is damaged. Such a baby ends up with mental retardation.

So, we are saying that a lot of attention has to be put in the area of newborn health.

A lot of these had to do with ignorance and poverty. Many pregnant women, in fact, are not even registered for antenatal care, so they do not go to clinics to deliver.

No matter how ignorant they are and how poor they may be, they do not want their babies to die. So they need information and we want the government to come to their aid and give some insurance. There should be some free medical insurance or welfare system for these mothers.

Also, a mother who is 28 weeks gestation and is going into labour should be referred to a centre where the baby and the mother will be looked after in appropriate condition after delivery. This is the standard of care. But that is not the scenario that happens and reason many premature babies are dying.

These are babies you have to put in a drip to be able to give them glucose. Due to immaturity, they cannot suck or swallow. These are the problems.

How safe is methylated spirit for umbilical cord care in newborns?

Mothers should not use methylated spirit, chloxidene gel which is an antiseptic gel is superior. The use of this gel should start immediately at delivery, after the cord had been cut off. It means that the gel should be available in the delivery rooms, too.

Also, exposure to naphthalene balls or camphor should be avoided in cord care. It should also not be used to store their cloths. If it is absorbed through their skin, it breaks down there red bloods cells, forming bilirubin. The same is also the case with methylated robs and powders.

Danger signs that new mothers should note?

The most worrisome of these danger signs that mothers and health workers miss is newborn jaundice. Within three to five days, after birth, mothers should get to the health centres so that their babies can be checked for jaundice.

Jaundice is a killer. Within a week, if the baby is not brought to the tertiary centre, the brain undergoes an irreversible brain damage due to a high level of bilirubin.

But if it is detected early when the baby is brought to the hospital , the baby is put under a special light. Sometimes, we exchange the blood to remove the bilirubin and reduce damage to the brain.



Some experts are saying babies need not be bathe in the first 24 hours after delivery and that it is protective. What is your view?

Cleaning babies is very good, but we allow them to delay the first bath to at least after the first 24 hours to keep the baby warm. It is the best way of keeping the baby warm.

Also, when you bathe them as soon as they are born, you are removing God’s own bacterial protection on their skin against infection, and you are creating more problems.

If you notice many babies in our community in the first month of life or first two weeks of life come down with a lot of rashes. It is an infection, and it can even can kill.

Introvert are known to be cool headed people that love to do things without much struggle. They don't club much, calm in football viewing center, they find it difficult to dance in social gathering even in the house of God.
if you are an Introvert and you want to worship God, I recommend you join the JW. (Jehovah Witness).
what I observed about these people is that, they are calm and gentle in their worship.
