According to Pastor Foluke Adeboye, a man needs to get a job before getting married, or else his wife will fall out of love with him when he falls out of cash.


At the day 4 of the Church’s annual youth convention, Pastor Foluke, who is popularly referred to as Mummy G.O, also gave advice to people whose marriage might be facing some crisis.

Beautiful Nigerian actress, Rahama Sadau, has opened up on how she almost got married at the very young age of 13.

Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau, who recently gained her grounds in Nollywood, due to a sanction ban for the Northern movies practitioners, has been speaking about her life as an actor, and on the issue of child marriage.8years

Asked what she had done or what she thinks can be done to change the perspective of getting children into marriage at an early age in the Northern part, the actress revealed that even she almost got married at the age of 13.
“Some of us have been fighting against early marriage and girl child education, though it is a very sensitive issue. Whenever you talk against early child marriage, religion will definitely come in. So, it is very sensitive.

“On my part, I’m trying to create awareness by sitting with parents to enlighten them. In my own case, I almost got married at the age of 13. So many things happened. But we are working on it.”
On how she survived that period, she said: “For me, I will always be grateful to my mum. She always wants us to achieve.”
Rahama Sadau is a Nigerian Hausa actress, who has won several awards for her prowess in the movie industry.

In 2016, she was reported to be featuring in a movie series on EbonyLife TV, and was subsequently banned from the Hausa film industry (Kannywood), by the Motion Picture Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN) due to her performance in a music video.
MOPPAN argued that the “hugging and cuddling” in the video was offensive. Conservative Muslim clerics have accused the Kannywood film industry of corrupting people’s values

Rahama won Best Actress (Kannywood) at the City People Entertainment Awards in 2014 and 2015. She also won Best African Actress at the 19th African Film Awards in 2015 by African Voice.

In 2017, she became the first Hausa speaking female celebrity to appear in the top ten Hottest Female Nigeria Celebrities.

Davido the politician. Thank God you know they want to rig the election, my advice is, ensure you mobilize your siblings and cousins to protect and defend the mandate. You guys should be in the forefront and I guarantee Nigerians will rally behind you guys. Days are gone when family members of politicians defend their parents from the comfort of their home while poor youths die in the battle front. Nigeria is ours (rich or poor), lead by action and we’ll follow. No more inciting poor masses via social media. Lets go there

BREAKING: Omisore Tells Supporters Whom To Vote For At Osun Governorship Rerun
“I am telling my people that they should go with any political party that believes in what we in the SDP stand for: good governance, social justice and accountability. I have already detailed how we planned to restore Osun to the path of good governance through the five thematic pillars in the manifesto I shared during the electioneering. I will not negotiate for personal gains and abandon my people," Omisore said.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKSEP 26, 2018


Iyiola Omisore, candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Osun State governorship election, has told his supporters to “go with any political party that believes in what we in the SDP stand for”.

Since effectively dropping out of the race for the rerun election, following the very high but close votes of Ademola Candidate, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Isiaka Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Omisore has been courted by both camps in an attempt to swing the votes to a side.

SaharaReporters had exclusively reported that APC was planning to offer him a ministerial slot. However, according to a statement by Jide Fakorede, his media aide, Omisore had decided he would “not negotiate for personal gains and abandon my people”.

“After over 72 hours of pressure on him by both the leadership of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC), the Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has said that what is paramount to him is the practice of true democracy in Osun State,” read the statement.

“Omisore firmly states that he will never renege on his promise of good governance, accountability and human dignity in Osun state.”

Fakorede quoted Omisore as saying: "Osun state has always been a stellar example of democracy where the people have consistently and freely expressed their franchise to determine who governs them.

“This should remain so. Osun people have shown that it is not business as usual. It is a positive deviation from what was hitherto the norm.

“I am telling my people that they should go with any political party that believes in what we in the SDP stand for: good governance, social justice and accountability. I have already detailed how we planned to restore Osun to the path of good governance through the five thematic pillars in the manifesto I shared during the electioneering. I will not negotiate for personal gains and abandon my people.

"My alliance is with the people of Osun state irrespective of the political party they belong. I want my people to be treated with the dignity they deserve. I desire that they have a government that will be accountable to them. I want them to experience the good governance the founding fathers of this state envisaged. I have told the parties that have solicited for my support to approach the electorates and ask for their mandate as I have assured them that I will not coerce them for political or social power. It is because I have kept my promise that has made me enjoyed their unalloyed support all these years.

“As highlighted in SDP manifestos, the five thematic pillars the SDP had hoped to implement to improve governance, eliminate financial reckless and reposition the economy of Osun state include: economic management and accountability; professionalism and performance; equity in access to service; local content and innovation and security.”

Omisore said these were the centre point of his campaign and “the democracy we both fought for and believe in”.

“It is the right and democratic freedom of people to choose of their own free will. Their votes should not be coerced by money, vote buying, intimidation in form of militarisation, and political and social power,” he added.

"Their voices of demand for good governance, accountability and human dignity should continue to be heard as well as salaries paid. All these are what I stand for and which the SDP had promised the people all through our electioneering campaigns. They are still paramount to me as we collectively chart the way forward for the governorship elections rerun in Osun state."

Omisore assured his followers and admirers that he would not abandon his campaign promises even as he engaged all stakeholders on the way forward to ensure the progress of Osun State is achieved.

, they're just against picking an anointed candidate like you did for Secondus.

theoldpretender:
NB: This is not a defence of the government, but an explanation if you will of why we should stop being a monoeconomy.

And with that...here is why the $81 oil price won't improve Nigeria's economy

1.We need oil to be at $140 per barrel to be able to have a balanced budget. $81 does not even reach that threshold.

2.Because oil has been below the $140 threshold since the government took over....we will still need to takeloans, and we will continue to take loans until oil reaches the breakeven point of $140...and even after that, we will still be paying back loans.

3.That is how we have been operating since long before 1999. No matter how high or low oil is, we always would keep on taking loan after loan UNTIL we reach the breakeven price...and even then....

4.Even during the last oil boom of 2011-14, because oil was not at the breakeven for those years....we still took loans.

5.The only way forward is simple. We have to

a) End subsides, so that we can save more money and encourage investment...which means more jobs. Yes, fuel will goup....but more investors ,local and foreign will come in, and jobs will be saved.

b)Take strategic loans for power and transport alone...so that we can improve things.

c) End price controls in the power sector. DISCOS cannot make much money on power bills of N2000 a month for metered houses. That way,more money and investment flows into the power sector.

d) Cliche...but we must really 'pight kwarrupshion'.

Bemigho Reno Omokri who is an author and lawyer, has reacted to the possible win of PDP and loss of APC in osun.

He wrote:

"It is looking like the PDP has won in Osun. This is major if INEC finally confirms it. The APC pumped in so much money into Osun. 8 APC Governors camped there. Buhari paid the state ₦16.7 billion and Osinbajo bribed voters with tradermoni. If money couldn’t save APC in Osun, it won’t save them in 2019! #RenosDarts"

Throwback:
Are you saying it was conclusive with a victory marIgin of 350 and cancelled votes of over 3000, then INEC suddenly rewrote the electoral laws overnight?

What manner of educated idiots populate this country?

The rule is sacrosanct and would not be cast away to make you feel better.

Preator:
If there are cancelled votes greater than the winning margin, the law requires a re-run. To do otherwise is illegal

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
Attn: President Muhammadu BUHARI GCFR
“SAVE THE SOUL OF COMRADE ELO VICTOR-OGBONDAH”

His Excellency Sir,
• I the undersigned wish to intimate your Excellency of the misdeed that Total E&P Nig. Ltd. has perpetrated to myself and members of my immediate family.
• I view this as a clear case of victimization and intimidation attributable to the fact that I am a woman who has done all within her means to advocate for better welfare of the downtrodden.
• I worked as a contract staff in Total E & P Nigeria limited, for eight years before I was employed as a full-time staff of Total E & P Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) on the 25th of September 2008 and I have worked meritoriously for the Company since then.
• The extant laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (particularly the Trace Union Act) allow staff members of the Company to join Trade Union and participate in Trade Union activities. I decided to join a Trade Union, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN (hereinafter referred to as “the Association”) two years after my employment.
• In June 2014, I was elected as a National Executive of the Association to serve as the Zonal Secretary of the Port Harcourt Zone of the Association.
• Sir, the Company’s policy and the Collective Agreement signed by the Association and the Company stipulates that the Company will not be against any staff who wish to join the Association and that any staff who has official duties to carry out in the Association will be given leave of absence with pay to attend to such official duties.
• However, in my case, the Company was clearly against my joining the Association and taking up official duties in the Association clearly because I am female. They rather approached me to sponsor a man for that position. We all went into the contest, which I won. Ever since then, the management of the company has never allowed me to rest; they did everything within their disposal to traumatize and victimize me.
• In clear breach of the Trade Union Act, the Collective Agreement and the Company’s Policy, I was transferred from the Port Harcourt to the Lagos within the same Company, (in August 2014, immediately after I was elected to serve as Zonal Secretary of the Port Harcourt Zone of the Association) in other to prevent me from taking up the official duties in the Association which I was elected into; and to frustrate me out of the Association and all other Union Activities.
• This was done against the grain of the Company’s policy, which stipulates that the company must discuss with and/or inform a staff who is to be transferred before such a transfer can be effected, the company transferred me without discussing with me. The said transfer letter was sent two (2) days AFTER I was supposed to resume, showing clearly that it was a desperate effort to victimize me and prevent me from taking up Union Executive activities.
• The attempt by the Company to prevent me from taking up official duties as an elected executive of the Association and frustrate me out of Union activities caused a massive fallout between the Company and the Association; and in November 2014, the Association called a nationwide strike that grounded the entire oil and gas sector in Nigeria.
• The then President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria had to wade into the issue and mandated the relevant government ministers and heads of parastatals to take steps to settle the issue.
• A conciliatory meeting was held on the 18th of December 2014 where the Minister of Labour, the representative of the Minister of Petroleum Resources, the representatives of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Total E & P Limited, Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, were in attendance and signed an Agreement/Memorandum of Understanding.
• In the said Agreement/Memorandum of Understanding, the company agreed to give me a three (3) years Leave of Absence to enable me take up responsibilities as an elected executive of the Association at the Port Harcourt Zone of the Association and the Company also pledged in the said agreement to reabsorb me to resume duties at the Company at the expiration of my three (3) year tenure as a National Executive of the PENGASSAN.
• In the letter granting Leave of Absence to me, the company was in denial of their own leave of absence; it was stated clearly that the said Leave of Absence is a special one and not strictly hinged on the Company’s Policy; therefore, I was paid only my basic salary which is a paltry sum compared to my total emolument which according to the Company’s policy I would have been entitled to, during the said Leave of Absence. Sir, the Company’s policy actually provides for Leave of Absence with full pay; this was denied me on the condition that mine was a special kind of Leave of Absence not hinged on the Company’s policy.
• When I got the letter granting me the said Leave of Absence. I sought clarification from the company on the point that touches on the company policy: I wanted to know how I will be granted a leave of absence which states that same is not strictly hinged on the company’s policy and yet be asked to sign that I will adhere to a company policy. I wanted to know everything that will guide this special leave of absence or if I am to adhere to some aspects of the existing one, since the company has stated that my leave of absence is not hinged on the existing company policy. I was never given audience to discuss and clarify this point even after trying severally.
• I received a letter dated August 8th, 2016 from the Company about one year to the expiration of my Leave of Absence instructing me of a resumption date of August 7th 2017, without any option to extend. I acknowledged the said letter.
• It was then indeed shocking when I received a letter of purported termination dated the 19th of July, 2017, in clear breach of the aforesaid Memorandum of Understanding. Strangely the reason given in the purported termination letter was that I breached the Company policy; the same subsisting company policy that was denied in that letter granting my Leave of Absence. No one would have imagined that Total E & P Limited will deliberately flout a subsisting agreement, thereby putting the company’s business reputation at stake and risking the entire business environment with reckless abandon.
• This purported termination, just like others before it, and the transfer orchestrated to prevent me from taking up Union Executive duties, was done without the basic, universal and fundamental principle of fair hearing which a company like Total E &P Limited should be known for.
• The Association (PENGASSAN) intervened immediately and was able to establish that the termination was illegal, done clearly to settle old scores with me (by punishing me for joining a Trade Union and taking up executive responsibilities, which the Company did not want me to do). Total management could not provide any reasonable ground why I was terminated but behind the scene, they referred to the fact that their company ego was affected by the 2014 strike.
• Relevant stakeholders had to intervene to get both the Company and the Association on the negotiation table. The Company later requested that they should be allowed to continue, the “off table discussion they were having with the Chairman of Total E & P branch of the Association”, this was granted. As a middle point, The Company finally requested that the Association come up with a proposal to settle the issue amicably. The Association then calculated a certain amount of money to be paid to me using a formula that the company has hitherto established for one of its employee in similar circumstances.
• However, the Company refused to go through with the off the table negotiations they requested with the Total Branch Chairman of the Association. The Company’s refusal to adopt this precedent in settling me is also clearly punitive and an act of victimization and vindictiveness.
.
• The Company rather chose to approach the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment for settlement of this issue, requesting for a guideline and after several conciliatory meetings between me, the Company and the Association, the Minister of Labour and Employment via a letter dated the 29th March 2018 with Ref No: MLHB/7586/T/29 and addressed to both the Managing Director of the Company and the General Secretary of the Association, signed for the Honourable Minister of Labour & Employment by the Director of Trade Union Services and Industrial Relations, conveyed the decision reached by the Minister acting as a conciliator between the association( on my behalf) and the Company, on the issue of the said wrongful termination and the benefits/damages accruing therefrom.
• The Company, the Association and myself were all parties and present, in the meetings where the Ministry mediated and reached the decision contained in their letter of 29th March 2018. Once again Total failed to obey the directive from the ministry it initially ran to for succor and insisted on getting a directive, which both parties came back for in the following meeting.
• The Company turned around to complain about the directive to the same Ministry they insisted should give a directive. All entreaties made to the company to pay me my entitlement as awarded by the ministry fell on deaf ears. It became obvious that the Company only wants to accept decisions that favours their envisaged result.
• The said sum recommended by the Ministry was less than the sum (s) demanded by the Association on my behalf. In fact, The Company approached the Ministry for a downward review of the sum demanded by the Association and indeed they succeeded because the sum was reviewed downward.
• They have consistently threatened, that I will become history before getting whatever is due me, citing cases between the IOCs and their employees that ended after the employees were already dead. Boasting of their ability to buyout any organization or umpire that I will take this case to, as well as their strength in your government. In their own words they claim, “this is our government”.
• It has been over a year now, they have been delaying this payment in every way possible despite being aware of my health conditions. They stopped paying my medical bills since 2014 despite the reconciliatory meeting and agreement. I consistently borrowed money to cater this, but this has further deteriorated.
• I have no doubt that this ill action was melted out to me because I am a Nigerian woman, Total cannot certainly do this in their homeland in France to their citizen most especially when she is a woman.
• This letter is my last hope of seeking redress despite the threat by some directors within the company claiming that I cannot get justice anywhere as they are in control of all facet of government (Executive, Legislature and Judiciary including the press).
• I made up my mind few days ago to write this; damning their threat because I believe Your Excellency sir, that as a man of integrity who has fought tirelessly for the masses, you cannot be corrupted by Total to obstruct justice.
• I hereby pray the President to use your good office to come to the aid of this “poor woman”, by causing the Company to respect to the decision of the Federal Ministry of Labour, which is to pay the amount advised by labour, as a result of their appeal to the ministry. This is supposed to be my entitlement for wrongful termination, computed using the precedent existence in the company. To enable me take care of my medical bills and to move on with my life.
Be assured of my esteemed regards.
Sincerely,
Elo Victor-Ogbondah, Mrs

President Muhammadu Buhari has asked Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, not to invite Ademola Adeleke, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun state, before Saturday.

The police had asked Adeleke to immediately appear at the force headquarters in Abuja over alleged examination malpractice.

But a presidential source told reporters on Wednesday that Buhari had ordered the IGP not to go ahead with the invitation until the governorship election is over.

Adeleke is one of the four strong contenders in Saturday’s exercise.

Earlier, Jimoh Moshood, force public relations officer, said Adeleke would be charged to court over examination malpractice, criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and breach of duty.

Moshood said Adeleke connived with four persons identified as Sikiru Adeleke, Aregbesola Mufutau (principal of Ojo-Aro Community Grammar School, Egbedore LGA, Osun), Gbadamosi Thomas Ojo (school official responsible for the registration of candidates for NECO), and Dare Olutope (school teacher who facilitated the crime).

He had asked them to report to the special investigation panel at the force headquarters in Abuja.
