President Muhammadu Buhari is to attend the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington DC in three weeks’ time.

A preliminary list of delegates shows that he will be accompanied to the three-day event, to be hosted by President Barak Obama between March 30 and April 1, by three governors and six Ministers.

Also on the preliminary list prepared by the presidency are 11 principal officers and a 23-member Advance team that includes a medical doctor, Protocol officers, State House media, bodyguards and a cook.

The final list is expected to be higher when technical experts from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as other Ministries, Departments and aides of relevant political office holders are added.

An average presidential trip costs Nigerian taxpayers between half a million and $1.2million in travelling expenses alone. The last visit by President Buhari, to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, gulped over $3m at a time when the exchange rate was nearly N400 to $1.00.

President Buhari had also been scheduled to pay a state visit to China this month, but that has been postponed until further notice.

The 2016 Nuclear Security Summit will be the fourth to be hosted by President Obama, the first of them in 2010. They are aimed at addressing the threat of nuclear terrorism to global security through international cooperation to secure vulnerable nuclear materials, break up black markets, and detect and intercept illicitly trafficked materials

A Malaysian shared these photos on Facebook of an African man getting married to a Malaysian woman. We wrote 'alleged' because they didn't specify his country but the comments, including ones from Malaysian women who are married to Nigerian men, were mostly positive. The translation reads:

"Congratulations to kelantan this girl who tie the knot today in a marriage with the outside. Skin Color is not important, the size of each other love is." See more photos after the cut...

The father of Ese, Mr. Charles Oruru, has indicted the Emir of Kano, Mallam Muhammadu Sanusi II, in his daughter’s travail.

Oruru, in an interview with Raypower FM, which was monitored by our correspondent on Tuesday, said Sanusi deserved no credit in the eventual release of Ese “as he only bowed to pressure from Nigerians”.

Ese was taken from Opolo, in the Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, to Kano State by Yunusa, aka Yellow, in August, 2015.

Oruru said, “The Emir did not play any role there. All security agencies in Yenagoa and in Abuja were also part of those who refused to help.

“That is the truth because when we got to Kano, we were told that the Emir had written a letter that the girl should be released on August 26, 2015, and this was not done.

“They wanted to keep the girl in Kano, but the pressure was everywhere after the whole world had heard about the matter, so he knew that if he didn’t release the girl, it would lead to a big problem.”

Sanusi had on Monday refuted claims that he sheltered Ese, saying he had ordered that the girl be taken to her parents since 2015.

The Emir, while speaking at a press conference, in his palace said he got to know that the girl was still in Kano when journalists from the BBC called him.

Sanusi had said, “Since the time we ordered that the girl be taken to her parents in Bayelsa through AIG Zone 1, we didn’t hear anything about her; just for us to now start hearing all kinds of stories that we are keeping her in our custody. This is injustice of the highest order.”

Ese Oruru, the 14 year old girl "abducted" by one Yinusa and taken to Kano where he converted her to a Muslim and married her was at the police headquarters in Abuja yesterday. Ese is still insisting that she was never abducted and that she and Yinusa have been "friends" long before she followed him to Kano. She also insist that she is 17 and not 14 as her parents are claiming. Meanwhile she will be handed over to her parents today at a press conference which will have the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, in attendance.

This evening I came across this picture and I was very disappointed in what I saw.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/3447251_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188

As a minister in the Federal Cabinet of Nigeria signing a bilateral agreement on behalf of Nigeria in Qatar,tradition demands that She(Kemi Adeosun) is accorded the same respect as the President as her presence carries as much authority with the President.

Under no circumstances should a person of her capacity be subjected to conform to the cultural/religious practice of the host country.

Kemi Adeosun is a Nigerian Minister visiting Qatar,she is a foreigner,therefore she is not bound by Qatari laws or culture which can't be enforced on her.

It is utmost disrespect for her person and Nigeria as a nation to see her subjected to covering her hair to please Qatari officials.This attempt of cowardice to Qatari Islamic custom denigrates the office of the Minister of Finance and totally against Global Practice.

Madam Kemi Adeosun,next time you find yourself in an Arab nation,refuse vehemently to cover your hair,their laws are not binding on you.You are their visitor and your person must be respected.

The amount he's spending on a "Games Village" couldve been better spent on building rows and rows of CO-OP buildings that could house upwards of 10,000-20,000 families . But as usual, the African man doesn't know how to turn a profit.

Anambra State
It is a known fact that Anambra State is one of the most ecologically damaged states in Nigeria. Erosion has rendered many homeless and made areas of fertile land useless while still threatening to eat-up the 4844km2 area of the states.

Over the years, huge financial resources have been sunk into erosion management and control in Anambra and there is still no abatement for the menace in the state. Anambra is 2nd with respect to population density in Nigeria. With population and erosion rapidly expanding, a future might exist in which they would not be enough land to cater for the expanding population.

At present, most of the erosion management has focused largely on post-erosion management, which does not recover lost land or properties as it mostly stops erosion site from spreading. We need to change approach and lay more emphasis on pre-erosion management. Most of the factors, which affect erosion in the state are natural and look insurmountable, but with dedication it is largely controllable.

In pre-erosion management the erosion is tackled head on before it even occurs and hence easily averted. Anambra has to invest funds in reading and controlling the early stage of erosion and monitoring each site and checking up any signs of splash, sheet and rill erosion quickly.

Abia State
......Abia is one of the states that is seriously devastated by gully erosion and the environmental concern has made successive administrations in the state to solicit the assistance of the Federal Government in curbing the ecological menace. The state has always been striving to X-ray the ecological problem to the appropriate authorities at any given opportunity......

Imo State
Many residents watch the earth move, pulling down homes, cutting off roads and leaving them in despair. OKODILI NDIDI reports on the ravages of erosion in Imo State

It sometimes looks like a horror movie in slow motion. Right before their eyes, roads and farmlands are being washed away. Some communities are being cut off, houses buried in red earth. In some places, residents of threatened homes peer down in horror on the huge gulf created by that seven-letter word: erosion.

Most communities in Imo State are coping rather badly with the phenomenon. Displaced residents have been suking, unsure when the terror will end.

Enugu State
Enugu State Governor Sullivan Chime has said that the state has the highest number of erosion sites in Nigeria. Governor Chime said this through his deputy, Rev. Raphael Ifeanyichukwu Nwoye, in an address at the launch of the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP).
He said efforts by state and local government areas as well as constituencies to control gully erosion, before now were at best partially or temporarily effective for reasons that included improper road designs, inadequate drainage systems and poor solid waste management.
Chime said other reasons include destructive and unsustainable land use practices that removed protective vegetation cover, over grazing, deforestation, cultivation of marginal lands and uncontrolled mining for building materials and climate change challenges

Ebonyi State
Ebonyi State and the Federal Government have teamed up to tackle erosion, perhaps the worst environmental threat in the region.

The collaboration is considered a strong step forward by the Dave Umahi administration because erosion ravages most parts of the state, especially Afikpo North, Afikpo South and Ohaozara local government areas.

LordAdam:
Is Dangote not a Nigerian? Only Dangote alone is responsible for a third of the value of the Nigerian Stock Exchange. If his businesses collapse, so does Nigeria. Or don't you know Dangote is the second largest employer of labor after the Federal Government?

You do not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. When Dangote was investing in building cement factories in Nigeria with the profit from his imports, where was LaFarge and the others that are still importing cement? Those factories employ Nigerians, remit 30% of their profits to the Federal Government and sustain the economy. If you want to find a scapegoat it is Ifeanyi Ubah himself. Where was he when Forte oil offered to sell petrol cheaply? If he had joined, we wouldn't be having all this subsidy and scarcity bruohaha now.

The guy is an attention-seeker. He has a lot of faulty debts and knows his fortune will be greatly depleted if the naira falls more. That is why he is shouting from the roof tops. I'm not against him proffering solutions. But he should be constructive about it. Read the OP writeup again. He did not offer any solution or constructive criticism. He just asked for their resignation. Haba! Na so dem dey sack people. Nigerians and blame mentality. He conveniently shielded PMB who should take the most blame and called for the sack of Emefiele that has been sustaining all manner of attacks for following PMB's instructions and Adeosun that has not even received budget for her ministry.

You reason am na, all of una no get conscience sef!
