Wicked Wike with his Marvellous Magic

Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has said the recovery and
eventual return of the seemingly lost asset to the state, Legacy 600
aircraft, was a reality, and not mere politics.
Wike, who had embarked on a short trip to London last Friday, spoke after receiving the Legacy 600 aircraft that touched down at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the State on Tuesday afternoon.
At the brief reception that took place at the airport, there were some
cultural displays staged by Rivers women and youths to celebrate the return of the state-owned aircraft secretly abandoned in Germany by the immediate past administration in the state.
Wike explained that it took an intelligence report for his administration to discover such an asset, owned by the Rivers State
government.
Wike further said the immediate past administration flew the aircraft to far away Germany, without any record of it made available to his administration.

He said, “To the glory of God, the plane is back and Rivers people
can see. Nigerians can see. It is not that we are playing politics.
“All we are saying is that we never knew. Nobody told us until we got
intelligence that we have this asset somewhere.”
He recalled that the Legacy 600 Aircraft was purchased by the Dr.
Peter Odili’s led administration to serve the interest of Rivers people, but was abandoned with the General Atomics Aerotec in Munich, Germany by the Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Ameachi’s administration since 2012.
“What is very important to all of us here today is that when we came
into power in 2015, nobody handed over any report or gave us
handover note to let us know where such an asset of the state was,
only for us to hear in 2019 that this asset is somewhere,” Wike said.
The governor also stated that so much money was spent by the state government on the aircraft; money that would have been put into other development projects if his administration had known of it quite early.

According to him, in fixing the aircraft, a certificate of airworthiness
certificate, issued by the Nigerian government, was secured for the
aircraft to return to Nigeria.
The Rivers State Governor said, “Of course, we did everything we
could do and we told Nigerians that by the grace of God, we will not
allow this asset to go that way.

“We must return it for the people of the State to decide what they are going to do with it. I am so elated that at the end of the day, all of our struggles are not in vain.
“I think Rivers people for the support. I thank the Rivers State House
of Assembly for the support. I thank the Executive for the support.
“But for their support, it would not have been possible to spend the
money we spent. If you hear the money we spent, its money that
would have been put in other development projects if we were told on time.”

The Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon.Ikuinyi-
Owaji Ibani, expressed delight that after ten years, the Rivers State
government has successfully recovered the aircraft.
He said the State government will decide how the asset will be used
in furtherance of the state’s development.
Senator Barry Mpigi, who represents Rivers South-East District in the Senate, commended governor Wike for his tenacity to defend the interest of the State.
According to him, the recovered aircraft is additional asset to the
government and people of Rivers State.
The chairman, Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council, King Dandeson Douglas Jaja, said governor Wike has once again demonstrated his zeal to protect the interest of the State.

The King lauded the governor for not allowing the State property to
get lost in Europe and unaccounted for.
The former Presidents of the Nigerian Bar Association, Onueze C.
Okocha, SAN and Okey Wali, SAN said the State governor has proven
his determination to defend the interest of the State.
In the same vein, the Chief Ferdinand Alabraba and His Royal
Majesty, Nne-Nwe-Eli Emohua XIII (OLO IV), Ohna Sergeant Chidi
Awuse, said recovery of the aircraft remains a credit to the governor
Wike’s administration.

*Important note for installers...*

An important point that many users often do without knowing and cause technical defects in their receiver and TV.

Never connect or disconnect the HDMI cable to the receiver or TV while the receiver and TV are on. This may damage the CPU and HDMI port in your receiver or TV

In most devices, especially receivers, a separate IC is not used for the HDMI port, and this port is directly connected to the main processor, for this reason, it cannot be repaired in case of a possible failure.

Therefore, it is recommended to turn off the device before disconnecting or connecting the HDMI cable to the receiver and TV..

for sure this is tthe reason i damage my HDMI TV port. Thanks for this

Good development

The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona
Laing has commended the Kebbi state government
over successful implementation of some programmes
and the inclusive governance which made the state
stable in the northern part of Nigeria.
Laing stated this during a courtesy visit on Governor
Abubakar Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State at Government
House, Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.
According to her, “Our earlier impression is how
successful Kebbi is, you are a secured state in a very
unsecured region, it is a fundamental achievement. We
just come from a meeting with the Commissioners
trying to find problem to talk about, but it seems that
you have been very successful, especially the
commitment you have to inclusion to reaching out to
communities, it’s a real success, we want other states
to learn from you.
“Secondly, I think the economy seems to be doing
relatively well, lots of opportunities to talk about,
agricultural value-chain which we would like to hear
more about.”
While lamenting the devastating effect of flood that
ravaged the state in the previous years, Laing also
sought to know “how prepared the state is to mitigate
the recurrence of the menace.”
Laing also recalled that there was a strong bond of
relationship between the United Kingdom and the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, assuring that the new King
would no doubt further strengthen the already
established harmonous relationship for the good of the
two nations.
“There is a strong bond between UK and Nigeria, of
course, but I think across that bond is shared
admiration, respect for the royal family, the Queen and
now King Charles. so, I am very confident that this will
help us build our foundation,” the High Commissioner
stressed.
In his respond, Kebbi State Governor, Senator Abubakar
Atiku Bagudu appreciated the High Commissioner for
finding Kebbi worthy of visit just few days after the
Queen’s funeral, saying, “that shows how committed
you are to it.
He said: “I pray this visit will foster more
understanding, cooperation, mutual respect and reward
for efforts between our state and the high commission.”
The governor said Kebbi State covered about 36,000
square kilometers with a little bit over 5 million people
sharing not only borders with both Benin and Niger
Republics but also history.
“This is because, we have four emirates which are
tradition-based areas headed by Emirs and one of the
emirates, Argungu Emirate was to the extent of present
day Niger Republic and the same thing with Gwandu
Emirate it extended up to Bokinafaso.
“Therefore, we have historical ties with people in Niger
Republic, Benin Republic to date and that had been very
successful, the emirate system helped us to build
mutual tolerance for each other.
“Because the four emirates are distinct and the four
emirs through history incorporated and built mutual
respect for each other and in so doing, it encouraged
competition, which inculcated the culture of
competition and reward for efforts,” he noted.
Bagudu added that it was not surpprising that the four
emirates endeavoured to organise and reward efforts of
various competitions in education, sports and economic
activities that covered agriculture, fishing, livestock and
pastoral activities.
“Also, there are conflict resolution mechanism at the
local levels which helped in maintaining peace.
“Even those conflict resolution mechanisms are being
increasingly stressed by urbanisation, by population
growth, by the need for more land for various activities,
by water bodies that no longer support the fishing and
agricultural activities as the way they are supposed to,”
he said.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to
immediately delete the Zamfara Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) candidate for the March 11, 2023
governorship election immediately.
Justice Aminu Aliyu of Federal High Court, Gusau had, on
Friday ruled that the PDP governorship primary election in
Zamfara State conducted on 25th May 2022 was in
flagrant violation of Section 50(2) (b) & (3) of the
constitution of the PDP 2017 (as amended).
But the APC National Vice Chairman, North-west, Dr.
Salihu Lukman in a statement issued Tuesday, said the
order of the Federal High Court asked the PDP to conduct
a valid primary election under the supervision of INEC for
the enlistment of its candidate for the 2023 general
election.
Lukman in the statement said with the judgement, PDP
has no candidate for the March 11, 2023 governorship
election in the state.
He added, “PDP and any considered candidate for the
party for 2023 governorship election should only be
enlisted if provisions of the PDP 2017 constitution as
amended and provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 are
met as directed by Honourable Justice Aminu B. Aliyu.”
“Therefore, in addition to delisting PDP and its 2023
governorship candidate for Zamfara State as directed by
the order of the Federal High Court, Gusau, INEC must
take every step to ensure that PDP’s conduct of
disrespect for its own rules is not allowed to pollute the
2023 elections.”
Lukman alleged that by its conduct, PDP was only
working to win the 2023 elections through rigging.
The APC Chieftain pointed out that PDP as a party that
manages its internal contests in breach of its own rules
could only win elections by unfair and illegal means.
The member of the National Working Committee noted
that Nigerian democracy has come of age, stressing that
PDP must not be allowed to take Nigeria back to the dark
period of unfair and illegal determination of election
results based on the imposition of candidates and
winners of the election.
Lukman called on INEC and all patriotic Nigerians,
especially APC leaders in the North-West, as well as APC
candidates for the 2023 elections at all levels to be
vigilant to stop the PDP from attempting to impose their
‘candidates’ as winners.

I dey laugh with the actor's face in God must be crazy film tararararararaaaaaa.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
has recognized candidates produced by the Dan Orbih
faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as qualified
standard bearers of the party in the forthcoming 2023
elections.
Recall that the party has been engulfed in supremacy battle
between Governor Godwin Obaseki’s faction and the faction
led by the party National Vice Chairman South South, Dan
Orbih, leading to the conduct of parallel primaries in May this
year.

The parallel primaries resulted in litigations and a high
court ruling recognized those that emerged from Orbih’s
faction primaries. However, Obaseki-led camp had
appealed the judgement and the matter is now before the
Court of Appeal.
The state party chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, had in August
presented certificate of return to those that emerged winner
from the governor’s faction primaries.
Our reporter who visited the INEC office in Benin, observed that
the INEC had pasted a comprehensive list on its notice board
and all the PDP candidates on the list were the winners who
emerged from the primaries conducted by the Orbih’s faction.
Daily Trust also observed that the pasted list reads court
order.
Responding, the state party chairman, Aziegbemi, said there
is no issue about the list as the candidates are still in court.
“They are still in court up to the Supreme Court. So INEC is
obeying the first court order which they (Orbih’s faction)
got, which is fine. So we are awaiting the case to progress
to logical conclusion before we know exactly where we
stand.”
But as we speak, we are one PDP, we are good and there is
nothing to be agitated about. The electoral process allowed
for litigation and until the conclusion of that option that is
available to every body, there is nothing to be agitated
about
“We should not forget we are one PDP and one big family,
so we should all wait until the highest court in the land
gives the final verdict”
On his part, the state party’s secretary, Hillary Otsu, said
the list released by INEC is the state’s authentic list.
“Yes, that is the authentic list and that is the candidates of
the party’s primaries monitored by INEC and we don’t have
any objection to it,” he said.

The Senate Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said that federal
lawmakers were no longer interested in the impeachment of
President Muhammadu Buhari any longer, insisting that insecurity,
which informed the impeachment threat, has improved.
It will be recalled that some Senators cutting across the ruling and
opposition parties had given President Buhari a six-week ultimatum
to address insecurity or face impeachment from office.
The Senate procceded on its annual recess shortly after the
ultimatum was given and same has since expired.

LEADERSHIP reports that as the Senate reconvene this Tuesday,
there were expectations that the impeachment threat against
President Buhari will be revisited by the lawmakers.

But Senator Kalu, who allayed the fears that Buhari might be
impeached by the Senate on resumption, said no lawmaker will be
able to provide the required number of signatories for the
impeachment either President Buhari or the Senate President,
Ahmad Lawan.
Kalu added that even if such an issue was brought up again on the
floor of the Senate, it will die naturally.
Kalu stated these when he spoke to journalists on Tuesday morning
on resumption of Senate plenary after a two-month recess.
“The issue of impeachment is a non-existing issue. Nobody is
talking about it. Even if they try, they will fail because we have the
number to resist it.
“There is nothing wrong with a lawmaker coming up with an
impeachment threat but will they succeed? No! So, as far as I am
concerned, there is no discussion about Buhari’s impeachment
because security has improved.
“We have been meeting with the Service Chiefs and some of you
were there and can testify that the issue of security has improved
and it will keep improving,” Kalu, who represents Abia North
senatorial district, said.

Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, says all the gunmen caught in the state so far are indigenes of the south-east. Soludo said this on Sunday when he featured on Sunday Politics, a programme on Channels Television. Anambra, in recent months, has been targeted by gunmen who attack residents, security operatives and public infrastructure. On September 11 , the convoy of Ifeanyi Ubah, lawmaker representing Anambra south senatorial district, was attacked by gunmen at Nkwo Enugu Ukwu, in Njikoka LGA of Anambra. Advertisement Police officers and some aides of the senator were killed in the attack. Asked on the programme to comment on the identity of such attackers, who are often referred to as “unknown gunmen”, the governor said they are known. “They are plain criminals, nothing else,” he said. Advertisement “It is lucrative criminality and idolatry. These are the two things that have come with it. “Anambra is, without a doubt, the richest state in the south-east. So, this is the place where kidnapping has the highest value. So, you have the highest concentration here. “They are not unknown gunmen. They are unknown to the extent that maybe they are not caught immediately in the act, but I can tell you that we have been catching quite a lot of them and they know that something is happening and that Anambra is not safe for them. Never again. “Let me be clear about this. 100 percent of all the people that we have caught are Igbos. There is no one who has somebody invading from somewhere. It is 100 percent Igbos on Igbos. “The first set of people we caught were 100 percent Igbos from other south-east states and none from Anambra. “But as we went on, we then discovered that a whole lot of the youths who have been taken to these bushes that got indoctrinated and initiated into all these kinds of things also happen to be citizens of Anambra state or indigenes of Anambra.” The governor also said his administration is doing everything possible, including using the “stick and carrot” approach, in tackling criminality in the state. He said “relative peace” has returned to the state because his administration came into power “very determined” to eliminate criminals. Advertisement “Their camps are being decimated. It won’t be too long before we pin them down,” he said. “Anambra has been quite relatively peaceful. We are pursuing this agenda. Compared to many other places in Nigeria, I’ll dare to say — if we are to have the statistics for the past three months — I think Anambra will compete favourably as one of the safest comparatively.”

Good good but It also makes no sense because many states can't pay the current one.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, stated this in Abuja on Monday while addressing members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) at a public presentation of a publication titled, “Contemporary History of Working Class Struggles.” Ngige stated that the increment in the minimum wage was necessary due to the current global inflation that has impacted on citizens’ purchasing power.
None of our staff earns up to N1m, PenCom clarifies President Muhammadu Buhari, in 2019, signed Minimum Wage Act into law. However, many States, according to labour leaders, are yet to implement the law of paying their respective workers N30,000. Ngige said, “The inflation is worldwide, we shall adjust the minimum wage in conformity with what is happening and much more important, the 2019 Minimum Wage Act has a new clause for a review. “That adjustment has started with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), because the stage they are with their primary employers, the Ministry of Education, is a Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA, negotiations. “Under the principles of offer and acceptance, which is that of Collective Bargaining, ASUU can say let’s look at the offer they gave us and make a counter offer, but they have not done that, if they do that, we are bound to look at their offer, these are the ingredients of collective negotiations.” Ngige hinted that the government’s policy on ‘no work, no pay’ may stand, saying, “If you don’t work, you won’t eat. Labour provides the riches of any nation, as well as the prosperity of every family.” The Minister also disclosed that the government was planning to convert one of the institutes under his ministry – Michael Imoudu Institute of Labour Studies located in Ilorin, Kwara State capital, to a degree-awarding institution.

Operatives of the Zamfara State Hisbah Commission
have arrested a man and woman who were allegedly
having sex publicly inside a motor park in Gusau, the
State capital.
DAILY POST gathered that the two people (names
withheld) committed the sexual act on an open field
inside the motor park, neglecting people in the motor
park who were keenly watching them.
When their action became a public embarrassment,
some motorists and officials of the NURTW quickly
alerted officials of State Hisbah commission who rushed
and whisked the culprits away.
According to one official of Hisbah (Sharia Police) who
pleaded anonymity, the two sex offenders disregarded the
attention of the public, and went ahead with their
shameless affair till some Hisbah operatives stormed the
park and arrested them.
“The man and woman who publicly had sex in the garage
could not defend themselves for the public shame they
brought upon themselves, signifying that they are morally
corrupt.
“The two sex offenders were seen at the Hisbah
commission blaming each other for the offence they had
committed,” he said.
It was also gathered by DAILY POST that the officials of
the State Hisbah Commission have already arraigned the
two accused persons before the City Higher Shariah
Court in Kankuri, Gusau.
The Hisbah operative, who spoke with DAILY POST, said
“the Sharia law will be applied to the case, either for
fornication or adultery because their acts contravened
Islamic laws and the cultural traditions of the people of
the State.”
“Though in Islamic law, there is a difference between
adultery and fornication with different sentences”, he
added.

Police have explained how attempt by over sixty- year- old
woman, Nsa Heneswa stole three children from different
parts of Maiduguri and how her attempt to smuggle them
out of the State was foiled.
Borno Commissioner of Police(CP), Abdu Umar, said
Heneswa was arrested at the Borno Express Motor Park on
Aug. 4.

Umar who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN)
said the suspect was arrested by the police in Maiduguri
with two abducted Almajiri children and a two-year-old girl.
On how Heneswa stole the children, he said, “The suspect
arrived Maiduguri on Aug. 3, and went straight to the
Monday market where she saw some vulnerable children
popularly known as “Almajiri” begging on the road.
“The suspect called one of the children and offered him
N200.
“She then asked him to accompany her so that she can
buy him some cloths.

“She then went back to the town in search of another
victim,” he said.
He said that the suspect got to the Yan’ Nono at the
Bulumkutu area where she stole another child belonging to
Mrs Amina Ayuba, a local fresh milk seller.
When she arrived the motor park, she requested for a
vehicle going to Lagos but members of the union told her
it had already left.
“She then begged for a place to stay before the next day.
“Again, she went out and picked the third child.
“However, luck had ran out on her when she decided to
take one of the kids to a local restaurant to get some
food,” he said.
He said that a commercial driver operating on the Abuja
line at the motor park, became suspicious of the way the
suspect was behaving and alerted the security and
surveillance team at the motor park.

The CP said Heneswa was arrested and handed her over to
the Police for Investigation.
According to him, the woman confessed that she was
planing to take the children to Lagos.
Umar said that the suspect alongside her accomplices,
may said to have been in the business of buying and
selling of children for sometime before the long hand of
the law caught up with her.
Speaking to NAN in police custody, Heneswa said:”
honestly, this is the first time I am doing this.
“I have never done this before. A woman in Lagos
introduced me to this.
”I also have a nurse who was assisting me in the
Maiduguri Specialist Hospital,”she said.(NAN)

Lol

Just as ghost schools in the feeding programme are discovered so also ghost arrest will be made and ghost prosecution too.

GreyLaw:
What do you expect? That scheme was a way to drain funds into private pockets,

after they will say federal government is bad,but we citizen are
devils,especially those officiating are devils.we are the problem of
nigeria and not nigeria itself

No other gist except corruption and no one is ever brought to book.
349 ghost not pupils o. A school as about 200pupils or more. Don't even try to do the maths, you will be overwhelmed by the level of corruption. In Nigerua for that matter. It says alot

We are just terribly corrupt as a people! News like this just breaks the heart!

The enumeration committee of the Federal Government
homegrown feeding programme for public primary schools
has uncovered 349 ghost schools in Nasarawa state.
Team leader of the committee and adviser to the Minister
of Humanitarian Affairs, Mallam Abdullahi Usman,
disclosed this when he led the members of the committee
on a courtesy call on Governor Abdullahi Sule at the
Government House, Lafia.

work, no pay’ policy
He narrated that some of the officials were pocketing the
money meant for schools feeding programme in the state.
According to Usman, at the beginning of the programme,
1,203 public primary schools were captured as benefiting
schools.
“After due process of vetting, the committee discovered
that 349 of such schools were actually ghost schools, with
some officials pocketing the money meant for feeding
these schools,” he stated.He, however, maintained that
following the discovery, top ministry officials in Abuja
called for the removal of Nasarawa State from the scheme
but the decision was rejected in order not to punish the
poor children that would benefit from the scheme.
He further explained that two key officials of the
programme in Nasarawa State, the state programme officer
and the consultant were suspended and replaced.
He aappreciated all the relevant stakeholders including the
National Orientation Agency (NOA), National Youth Service
Corps (NYSC), National Bureau for Statistics (NBS), the
state Ministry of Education, amongst others, for making the
work of the committee a success in Nasarawa State.
He particularly applauded the governor for his cooperation
and support while also recognising the contribution of the
state focal person, Mr Imran Usman Jibrin, Senior Special
Assistant (SSA) to the Governor on Humanitarian Services.
He then rated Nasarawa State as the best
supportive state in the country, with the
team in the state also rated the best in
the country.
