edunwablog: Aliko Dangote, president of Dangote Group, has been named the sixth most charitable man in the World, by Richtopia, a digital periodical that covers business, economics, and financial news, based in the United Kingdom.
Dangote recently endowed his foundation to the tune of $1.25 billion.
Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and J. K. Rowlings occupied the first three positions while Oprah Winfrey and Elon Musk were in the fourth and fifth position respectively.
Aside Dangote, Tony Elumelu, chairman of United Bank for Africa was 11th on the list and these two were the only Nigerians on the list.
Dangote started his foundation, Aliko Dangote Foundation in 1981, with a mission to enhance opportunities for social change through strategic investments that improve health and wellbeing, promote quality education, and broaden economic empowerment opportunities.
Aliko Dangote Foundation was, however, incorporated in 1994 as a charity in Lagos, Nigeria. 20 years later, the Foundation has become the largest private Foundation in sub-Saharan Africa, with the largest endowment by a single African donor.

correctbae: A Nigerian lady has taken to her Facebook page to state her next line of actions in relationship. The lady whose name is Uzoma Olaedo Precious seems to be considering giving birth out of wedlock and her preference is married man. She emphasized that she prefers being a babymama for a married man than a single guy.
Post below:
I rather be a baby mama to a married man than be a baby mama to a single guy.
When being attacked in the comment section, she still stood her grounds about her decision.
Konquest: The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen Tukur Buratai, has inaugurated the Nigerian Army Cyber Warfare Command, a new corps to protect its data/network against cyber attack and curb terrorism.
He also launched an app that Nigerian citizens can download to pass information to the military authorities.
Buratai said the Cyber Operations Centre, at the army headquarters in Abuja, would also boost the army’s online presence in the fight against fake news targeted at it with counter narratives and cyber operations.
He added that “cyber warfare is the fifth domain of warfare after Land, Sea, Air and Space.Therefore, this project would not have come at a better time than now.”
Buratai, therefore, stressed the need for the army to embark on data protection and Information Warfare to curb online radicalisation, as well as other terrorist activities perpetrated on the internet.
"Buratai signs the guest book at the Cyber Warfare Command"
According to him, the intrinsic features of cyberspace can be easily exploited for information warfare by actors with malicious intent to plant and disseminate fake news and instruct paid users to spread online manipulated content.
“This is done to degrade debates with diverging truths, deceive, distract and misinform public opinion.
“This can eventually disorient and corroborate a sense of doubt among the public, or shape the opinion of a specific target audience on a certain issue.
“Hostile actors in cyberspace are also willing and capable of leveraging the variety of tools allowed by computer network operations and computational propaganda to influence public opinion to a degree that old-fashioned Psychology Operations could only dream of.
“The above statement accurately demonstrates the real threat of information warfare and the need to combat it with information knowledge.”
The army chief charged personnel of the new corps which he said was first in Africa, to equip themselves with digital forensics capabilities to be able to handle cases of identity theft and generate immediate incidence response.
He added that “furthermore, I encourage you to routinely survey the dark web/darknet and carry out analysis that may help the Nigerian army to be proactive in the cyber realm.”
Buratai noted that in recent times, the military had been inundated with several complaints regarding claims bothering on the unprofessional conducts of some of its personnel in the field.
Consequently, he said, the army took it upon itself to create an avenue for the public to submit complaints and information directly to the appropriate authority without third party interference.
He said “the avenue is an application that will allow users to relay information anonymously to the Nigerian Army.
“It enables citizens to give timely information to the army, thereby facilitating quick response.
“Additionally, crimes against the constitution perpetrated by serving personnel can be directly reported to the army, while keeping the person involved abreast with actions taken as regards a submitted complain.
“The link to the application will be publicly available on the Nigerian Army Facebook page, while the application can be assessed through our website and on apps freely available on various app stores.”
The chief of army staff added that users could submit a report, as well as attach uploads that would aid the authority in carrying out necessary actions.
Chain! Nigerian army is too local. Other country develop app to monitor war ship in the sea, jet fighter on air, etc. Nigerian army has to acquire an app just to monitor fake news. I salute the analogue government.
Olohunjedalo: Lol. What the hell is this dude’s problem? Why is he trying so hard to stay in the news? Is there any law that says Anambra governor must work against Buhari? He’s even mentioning Rochas that is a two term governor under APC Who else should Rochas work for if not PMB? What kind of nonsense is this Well, thank god you already see the writing on the wall . Votes will count in 2019 and we will witness a revolution in Nigeria Elections! I don’t need to go into details. Some people will chop serious flogging in their so called stronghold and they won’t know the tsunami that hit them . We shall see
It is disheartening that my able governor is guilty of this allegation. I have known this even before now. Nevertheless, that is the end of his political career in anambra.
mrmattolanrewaju: The Minister of Information and culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed has reacted to the recent video clip that resurfaced showing the alleged kidnapped leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra by the Nigerian Army praying in Israel.
According to the minister, “We Are Giving Israeli Government Days To Deport Nnamdi Kanu Back To Nigeria Or We Will Take A Harsh Action Against Them.
The leader of a pro-Biafran separatist group in Nigeria was missing, prompting speculation as to his whereabouts on the eve of his trial on treason charges.
Nnamdi Kanu, who heads the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement, has not been seen in public since troops were deployed to the southeastern city of Umuahia last year.
Kanu, who wants a separate state for the Igbo people who dominated the country’s southeast, has been on bail since April and gone missing, prompting speculation as to his whereabouts on the eve of his trial.
Nigeria Government officially declared IPOB a “terrorist organisation” in mid-September after violent clashes between the security forces and IPOB supporters. Members of the group were accused of attacking military checkpoints in Umuahia, which is the capital of Abia state.

I bet you are not an Igbo. You sounded so senseless and pathetic, something Igbos are not known for.
bluegrass07: Even if Atiku is a direct descendant of Lucifer and a cousin to the devil himself and best friends with Judas, we will try him.Even if he is a paternal uncle to Cain, a distant cousin to Achan, Ananias and Saphira , an elder brother to Pharaoh, a nephew to Herod, Delilah's boyfriend or Portipher's wife's ex-boyfriend, we will still try him. If he ends up like "baba nepotism, recession, 5 percent and 95 percent stereotyping", we will vote him out in 2023. We will keep voting out any error till we get the real deal.Aso rock is nobody's permanent inheritance. We have tried Mr Saint and have seen what he stands for.For now, someone should just get set to focus on raising cows in Daura.
LET'S ATIKULATE
Sorom4
Yeah. I agree with you. Anything but buhari is a go go. Though citizens need to put their votes together to out power the tyrant, reason why Atiku is the only choice.
Benikuuse: Atiku Keep On Campaigning I Will Never Vote For You. Why Can't People Like You Go And Rest? You Have Done Your Part. You Had The Chance As The Vice President To Make A Big Change But You Didn't Why Coming Now? Or You Want To Kill Us All Like Buhari Is Doing Now? If You Contest For Presidency, Me And My Househood Will Not Vote For You.
If you don't vote Atiku who will you vote? Will you allow Buhari to win again?
erinalex: these your comments on Atiku are OK by me. Since u said US and Nigeria had exonerated him. In the spirit of this, pls enlighten your fellow S/S and S/E brothers that, No court in Nigeria or abroad has ever convicted The Jagaban Of Africa, Asiwaju himself, Our own TINUBU; so therefore, the Honorable husband of Remi, should not be addressed defamatory again, by ur uninformed kinsmen. Pls Atikulate this to their hearing.
You must be a born slave if not you should called a spade its name. Thief nubu is a thief and promoter of political godfatherism.he will loose this time.
Millenniumlady: She's so beautiful I think this will be my next move cause I don't have time for all this wife beaters and cheating men nah to marry myself nahim sure pass........UP WE GO FEMINISTS
When you marry yourself I hope you won't need the joystick of all these wife beaters or wife beaters to be, to get pregnant. Low self esteem and confusion on stage.
onuebonyi: •To decide on zoning of position between South-west and South-east tomorrow •Age, knowledge of economy key criterion for nomination
The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has begun earnest search for his running mate as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deadline for the submission of names of parties’ candidate expires on Monday.
By the 1999 Constitution as amended and the Electoral Act 2010 as amended, no candidature is complete without a running mate. THISDAY sources close to the Atiku camp said at least three technocrats and two politicians have been penciled down for the position.
The technocrats are, former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Prof. Charles Soludo; former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina; and former Managing Director of Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON), Mr. Chike Obi.
The politicians being considered for the number two position are, former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, and the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.
According to a source, the candidate and the PDP hierarchy are still undecided on the zone the position should be allotted. But he said the scope had been narrowed down to the South-west and the South-east.
“We would have to weigh the electoral value of both zones and decide where we would allot it,” the source said, explaining that there was the need to maintain a balance between the existing political configuration, which requires the party to challenge the dominance of the APC in the high voting South-west by picking a running mate that would challenge the electoral advantage of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; and the need to retain the loyalty of the South-east that had remained a PDP stronghold.
Both zones were believed to have helped Atiku to neutralise the Northern zones’ delegates’ votes that went to Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal during the presidential primary on Saturday.
A source told THISDAY that the matter would be trashed out tomorrow at a meeting of the presidential candidate with the party hierarchy. Apart from zoning, Atiku is also said to be considering age and knowledge of the economy and economics as two major criterions for the selection of the running mate.
According to a source, the presidential candidate thinks his running mate has to be a much younger person as a strategy to appeal to the army of youths, which is already up in arms against the old brigade.
Atiku is, however, said to be insisting that such a young man must also have deep knowledge of the economy as his focus is on the revival of the economy to create jobs for the teaming unemployed population.
“His challenge, therefore, is how to strike the balance between getting a youthful running mate and an economy savvy candidate. Both must be rolled into one,” a source said, explain that this might have informed the short list that was revealed to THISDAY.
Leave Soludo for now because it its his time after Obiano to contribute to our state's future as the governor. Obi Peter can be selected because he has done part as state governor. It is time to go federal.
jayson87: He is still a don. Thru it all. Buhari i thought he would have gotten 20million votes from the number of registered members available in AP, he could only muster 14million. That to me is the true dunce. An election only him is the sole aspirant, yet some persons refused voting him. Thats how you know a true dunce
How many supporters does APC have, how many of them made it to the primaries. I wonder where that 14mil vote came from and where they stayed for for voting. APC the toddlers thinks everyone has fish brain like them. That was why they had the courage to tell the world such a lie. History is what we say it is.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has disqualified popular Nollywood actor, Kenneth Okonkwo from contesting for Enugu governorship election in 2019 following his inability to purchase the nomination and expression of interest forms.
Igbere TV gathered that Kenneth Okonkwo has been begging his party members to help him out but all to no avail.
According to a source close to the popular actor,
“Whathappened was that he was hoping to get a waiver but we told him that the Party does not wave fees. Not just in APC but in every party you go, all the aspirants are expected to come up with their money to fund their nomination forms."
" Those that don’t want to come out themselves will tell you a group bought for them. In this case, Kenneth did not purchase his form by the deadline talk more of coming for screening..., " the source said.
The All Progressives Congress Party had set their nomination forms fees for Governorship aspirants at N22m.
Recall that the popular Nollywood Actor was heavily criticized after he said that the Igbos will continue to wander in the wilderness if they fail to vote for president Muhammadu Buhari come 2019 election.
I came here to muck the igbos but on reflection this is a sad sad state of our country and our mentality as a people. What is the use of building all these flashy houses and buying exotic cars for? if we as a people cannot build our public infrastructure.
All the stolen money are spent recklessly on useless and inconsequential consumer products for Christ sake
What are we posing and bigging up on each other for?
Even if you muck it would not have been a bad idea. But you have to understand that IMO is the only Igbo state that enthrones APC. So what do you expect? Other states like Anambra can't have that type of trash especially on a measure road except a federal road.

Naijaguy12345: The Ibo will come here and say all kind of rubbish about what's happening. They understand not the politics of Nigeria, they have not a single leader, no machinery in place for a possible leadership position, they don't speak in uniform voice, they have no dominant party of their own.
If they are behind politically they should have been strong economically but they are not, if they are not favoued politically they should have built a region that will be safest for investors, hell no ,all I see is jealousy and hatred for Yoruba people. And come to think of it, they benefited most from Yoruba outside of their region.
Shut up!!! Yoruba chameleon! Political wise man indeed. You came to spew those trash in a bid to cover up you cowardice. You allowed one man smelly set of brown teeth to decide your future and that of your generations. The same way you allowed Fulani to lay claim on your father land at Ilorin. Nonsensical cowards.
