PoliticsBREAKING: President Muhammadu Buhari,yemi Osinbajo, Others To Get N64.72bn Sever by Newsfash(op): 5:06am On May 28, 2023
BREAKING: President Muhammadu Buhari,Yemi Osinbajo, Others To Get N64.72bn Severance Packages

final pay in office for the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, state governors and other political appointees about to leave office may cost the country about N64.72bn, findings by The PUNCH have shown.

The figure also covers the pay for ministers, commissioners, National Assembly members, and special advisers.

It, however, does not include special assistants and state assembly members.

The allocations by the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Allocation Commission for salaries and allowances for one month, as well as severance gratuity (300 per cent of basic salary), were analysed to arrive at the figures.

More specifically, aside from the basic for the last month in office, the figure includes allowances, such as hardship allowance (50 per cent of basic salary), Consistency allowance (250 per cent of basic salary), motor vehicle fueling allowance (75 per cent of basic salary), entertainment allowance (45 per cent of basic salary), among others.

As stipulated by RMAFAC, Buhari is expected to get N1.71m, which includes basic salary and a few allowances and N10.54m as severance gratuity.

Vice-President Osinbajo is expected to get N1.01m plus N9.09m severance pay.

The eight special advisers in the Presidency are expected to get N590,957, which includes basic salary and a few allowances, and N5.83m severance pay each.

In total, N51.37m will be spent on the special advisers under the Presidency.

There are 44 ministers under Buhari, consisting of 27 federal ministers and 17 ministers of state.

While each minister is entitled to N6.73m (which includes basic salary, some allowances and severance pay), each minister of state is entitled to N6.5m.

In total, they would get N292.21m, with ministers getting N181.71m and ministers of states receiving N110.5m.

Each special adviser under the minister is entitled to a final pay of N6.42m. With each minister having one special adviser, the total sum of N282.48m will be spent.

The PUNCH checks indicate that about 327 National Assembly members would not be returning to the office.

This is made up of 76 Senators and 251 members of the House of Representatives.

While the senators will get N7.14m each, the House of Representatives members will get N6.75m each.

In total, the final pay in office of the 327 National Assembly members will cost the country about N2.24bn.

Although governorship elections were held in about 28 states, no fewer than 18 state governors will hand over to their successors on May 29, 2023.

The outgoing governors include Nyesom Wike (Rivers State), Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta State), Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom State), Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano State), Badaru Abubakar (Jigawa State), Bello Matawalle (Zamfara State), Ben Ayade (Cross River State), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia State), and David Umahi (Ebonyi State).

Other outgoing governors include Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu State), Samuel Ortom (Benue State), Darius Ishaku (Taraba State), Abubakar Bello (Niger State), Abubakar Bagudu (Kebbi State), Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna State), Simon Lalong (Plateau State), Aminu Masari (Katsina State) and Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto State).

The outgoing governors will be completing two terms of eight years in office on May 28, 2023, except Zamfara’s Matawalle, who lost his re-election attempt.

Each governor is entitled to a final pay of N7.32m while the deputy governor gets N6.96m. In total, state governors will get N131.76m while their deputies would be paid N125.28m.

With each commissioner entitled to N4.42m, a total of 356 state commissioners will get N1.57bn.

Special advisers at the state level are by law entitled to N4.13m each. The 18 states have about 14,529 special advisers in total, which would cost the public treasury over N60bn.

Rivers State is expected to pay out a huge final pay on account of the high number of political appointees engaged by Governor Nyesom Wike, who last year appointed 14,000 special advisers.

The beneficiaries of the end-of-tenure pay also include the eight commissioners.

The Enugu State House Assembly has a total of 24 seats while the executive arm boasts 25 commissioners with an undisclosed number of special advisers.

Governor Tambuwal of Sokoto State was reported to have appointed over 50 special advisers. The governor recently appointed another 15 special advisers to compensate the members of his party who lost out in the Peoples Democratic Party primaries. The state also boasts of about 21 commissioners supervising different ministries.

The PUNCH earlier reported that no fewer than 18 outgoing state governors will retire into lives of luxury with generous pension benefits despite mounting debts and unpaid workers’ salaries.

The PUNCH investigations showed that the governors, who will hand over to their successors on May 29, 2023, would be leaving behind at least N3.06tn debt for the incoming administrations.

According to data from the Debt Management Office, states’ debts included N2.27tn domestic loans and $1.71bn foreign borrowing.

In a report, a senior economist with SPM Professionals, Mr Paul Alaje, described the pay and benefits as a burden on the states.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Femi Fani-Kayode, has reacted to the Supreme Court ruling on the President-elect, Bola Tinubu and Vice, Kashim Shettima.

He claimed that Atiku failed in his course to pervert justice.

Tweeting, Fani-Kayode wrote: “Atiku Abubakar and his Peoples Destruction Party’s nonsense case has finally been dismissed at the Supreme Court.

“I bet he and his team are shedding tears right now because they were unable to pervert the course of justice and intimidate or compromise the Judges.

NPF Seek Court Order To Remand Seun Kuti In Custody

Police sources explained that the action became necessary in order not to violate the constitutional duration of detention of suspects.

Famous Nigerian singer, Seun Kuti, who is the son of music legend, late Fela Kuti, may remain in custody longer than expected.

This is because the Police, on Tuesday morning, sought a court order to remand him in custody, pending when investigation into the assault on a policeman is concluded.

Seun was taken to the Yaba Court 1, this (Tuesday) morning.

Police sources explained that the action became necessary in order not to violate the constitutional duration of detention of suspects.

Besides, Police sources attributed the delay to Seun’s refusal to write a statement on the matter when he was taken to the State Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department, SCIID, yesterday morning.

A source said: “Immediately the incident happened, the Police officer reported the matter.

“There was also a video of him (Seun) slapping and pushing the policeman on the Third Mainland Bridge.

“However, that is not enough to conclude the investigation. There is a need for him to state his side, as part of the investigation.

“But he refused to write his statement yesterday (Monday) morning when told to do so.”

Reacting to the development, Okechukwu Nwanguma, Executive Director, RULAAC, said: “Seun’s action is unjustifiable and inexcusable.

DISCOVERY: Meet Human Creature Who Spend Most Of Their Lives Under Water – See How They Survive (Photos)


Bajau People: Why They Spend Most Of Their Lives Underwater And Survive: – Indeed our world is full of amazing people with different and unique traits.

You might be wondering how people are able to spend most of their lives underwater and yet still survive. Well, there are people that live within remote tribes that had been following a strict lifestyle with no changes for thousands of years.

This group is known as the ‘Bajau People’. The Bajau people are estimated to be one million and are usually found across the southern Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. However, they are not citizens of the earlier-mentioned countries.
The Bajau Tribe

The Bajau tribe was discovered during the 18th century when they were living in the areas of Maritime Southeast Asia. They have been nicknamed ‘Sea Nomads’ or ‘Sea Gypsies’ because they prefer to live on houseboats on the sea and never want to settle on dry land...See Photos Here


Throughout the years, the Bajau Tribe has been living only by fishing whilst diving. It has been revealed that during their fishing session they spend 60% of the time underwater.

According to scientists, these people are naturally born to dive and due to this lifestyle, which has been within their roots for centuries, their bodies have adapted to the environment and underwater.

The Bajau people are able to survive underwater due to their ability to hold their breath for a longer time and that is the only way they are able to catch fish which serves as their main food.

Their catch (fish) is also used as their financial source to trade for other goods that they require. They are traced back to 15,000 years ago, living the same sort of lifestyle as they live today and also giving them plenty of time to genetically developed this ability to live underwater.
How Long Can Bajau Hold Their Breath Under Water?

Research has shown that the Bajau can hold their breath for over 5 to 13 minutes, underwater while trained divers can only hold it for 3 or 4. Bajau divers use this diving ability to spend hours each day hunting underwater for fish.
They Pierce Their Eardrums

Some Bajau people pierce their eardrums in order to accommodate their freediving lifestyle.

This helps them to cope with the extreme water pressure whiles they are underneath. When this is not done, they might end up bleeding from the ears and nose and end up feeling dizzy.

However, this eardrum piercing can result in total ear loss during old age.
They Have Long Spleens

The Bajau people have big and long spleens (the spleen is a fist-sized organ in the upper left side of your abdomen, next to your stomach and behind your left ribs).

Spleens are not essential for life, but they contribute to the immune system and function as blood filters by eliminating damaged red blood cells and recycling iron, most importantly, they stores a quantity of blood.

The spleens contract when they are in the water, thereby spreading the blood’s oxygen-rich reserve throughout the body. When swimmers have a larger spleen means more oxygen is available.
They Have Longer Diaphragms

In order for them to survive living underwater, their diaphragms stretch, and the lung wall and abdominal wall also become more flexible which aids them to be able to hold more air underwater.
They Have A Genetic Mutation

The Bajau also has a mutant gene. They have a large amount of the PDE10A gene and the BDKRB2 gene. This makes them unique from other people.
More Blood Flows To Vital Organs Than Their Legs

The mutant gene makes peripheral vasoconstriction a diving response. The Bajau’s distinct genetic makeup may help them effectively tighten non-critical regions of their circulatory system.

PoliticsBREAKING: GOOD NEWS, President Buhari Finally Inaugurates Dangote Refinery by Newsfash(op): 5:51am On May 21, 2023
BREAKING: GOOD NEWS, President Buhari Finally Inaugurates Dangote Refinery

The 650,000 barrels per day (BPD) Dangote Oil Refinery, which President Muhammadu Buhari would inaugurate tomorrow, is expected to meet 100 per cent of Nigeria’s demand for all refined products.

Products expected to be produced in tonnes daily include premium motor spirit (PMS), diesel (AGO), aviation jet fuel and dual purpose kerosene (DPK), among others, thus raising the hope of Nigerians.

Although production of petroleum products is not expected from the plant until later in the year, the completion of Africa’s biggest oil refinery and the world’s biggest single-train facility is projected to create a market for $21billion per annum of Nigerian crude.

According to a report released by S&P Global Commodity Insights, the Dangote Refinery is anticipating the arrival of its first crude batch in June.

However, the inauguration is generating a lot of excitement from government officials, industry players and Nigerians as it has the potential to transform Nigeria from a petrol import-dependent country to an exporter of refined petroleum products

This is coming at a time the government is proposing subsidy removal from the second half of the year. Subsidy payments steadily rose from N351bn in 2005 to N4.39trn in 2022, while N3. 6trn was earmarked to fund fuel subsidy for the first six months in 2023...Continue Reading


Will it end subsidy?

While it is very unlikely that the start of operation at the refinery would lead to massive reduction in price of petrol, it will reduce freight cost and enhance supply security.

The chairman of Coronation Capital, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, at a recent meeting in Abuja, while noting that the decision to have fuel subsidy in Nigeria is not grounded in any economic thinking but purely political decision, stressed that Dangote Refinery would not necessarily provide solution to the subsidy regime as the facility will operate as an international entity.

“From an economic standpoint you now have the ability to refine 650,000 barrels of crude per day in Nigeria once that refinery is commissioned. On whether or not it is going to mean that you can remove fuel subsidy, the first question should be: Will Nigeria give Dangote subsidised crude oil? At what price will Nigeria give Dangote crude oil?

“If you want to continue with fuel subsidy, the only way the Dangote Refinery is going to be able to generate fuel at sub-international market price is if you give the company subsidised crude oil. Now, Dangote is not asking for subsidised crude oil, nor are Nigerians asking for subsidised crude oil,” the former chief executive officer of Access Bank Plc said.

The president of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), Comrade Festus Osifo, at the 7th Triennial National Delegates’ Conference in Abuja, said that with the refinery, there would be an impact on the fuel supply dynamics.

“We welcome the bold move by operators of the Dangote Refinery coming on stream soon and hope that its addition would enhance local production, reduce products importation, as well as end the era of uncertainties in petroleum products pricing and evils of subsidy payment,” he said.

Local production, wealth creation

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected that the Dangote Refinery would help Nigeria’s economic recovery drive when it starts production.

The Bretton woods institution said the refinery would help the country improve its current account balance.

“With crude oil for local refining not subject to the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) quota, the refinery also has the potential to catalyse more domestic crude oil production and boost gross domestic product (GDP),” it stated.

The African Petroleum Producers Organisation (APPO) underscored the importance of the establishment of the refinery to the continent.

The organisation said the refinery, which will supply over 12 per cent of Africa’s products demand when it becomes operational, would bring about a 36 per cent reduction in the importation of petroleum productions into the continent.

The organisation also expressed the belief that the success of Dangote Refinery could incentivise the rise of similar projects across Africa despite the current focus on energy transition.

The president of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Akinwumi Adesina, described the refinery as the best industrialised project to happen to Africa, noting that it would positively impact the economic growth and development of Africa as a continent.

“I see a company I will proudly call Africa’s growth accelerator company. With this project, we see an acceleration of how to reduce imports. We see acceleration on how to have an outbound on export, value chain development and how to compete regionally and globally

“This project will reverse the huge sum the country spends on foreign exchange. We import about $57 billion worth of different products and export only $50.4bn, so we have to balance that with about $7bn. And talking to them here, they showed us that they could have a domestic market of about $11bn; and that is an incredible market that will save Nigeria about $9bn a year from importing petroleum products. So this is huge for Nigeria and even Africa as a continent,” he had said during a tour of the facility in 2022.

The director-general of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Dr Chinyere Almona, said the refinery would save and generate foreign exchange, create jobs, positively affect the value of the naira, broaden prosperity for the downstream sector and provide growth opportunities for businesses.

“The LCCI views the refinery’s impact on the Nigerian economy as significant. It will also stimulate economic growth by impacting the country’s balance of payments.

“In addition, the Chamber expects the refinery to fuel further growth and development across its value chain, including cosmetics, plastics, textiles etc,” she said.

The Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) also said the refinery would revolutionise the oil and gas industry in Nigeria.

The federal government, through the then Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, in 2021 signed the term sheet with Dangote Group to buy a 20 per cent stake in the refinery for $2.76bn.

What Nigeria will benefit from refinery – Dangote, Kyari

The President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, in an interview with a special edition of London-based The Economists Magazine, titled ‘The World Ahead 2023,’ said with the commencement of operation at the refinery, Nigeria could save up to $10 billion in foreign exchange and generate another $10 billion in exports

Man Arrested For Allegedly Molesting, Impregnate, Daughter For 3 Years

According to the Commandant, the complaint was earlier lodged on a case of defilement, r*pe, and incest in which the suspect is the biological father of the victim.

A 41-year old Nigerian father has been arrested by the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Kogi Command.

The man was nabbed for allegedly defiling and r*ping his 16-year old daughter.

The Kogi State Commandant, Ahmad Gandi, who spoke after parading the suspect on Wednesday at NSCDC Command Headquarters, Lokoja, said the command received a complaint lodged by an NGO on May 5.

According to the Commandant, the complaint was earlier lodged on a case of defilement, r*pe and incest in which the suspect is a biological father of the victim.

The commandant said that the abusive act was on for three years from 2020 to 2023, since when the victim was 16 years old.

Gandi said that the younger sister to the victim advised her that they should either commit suicide or kill their father to free themselves from the abusive act.

Checkout 5 Reasons Why Most YAHOO Boys Run Mad In Nigeria

It really saddens me to know that we don’t just learn in this country. We are all here fighting each other over bad governance, blaming politicians while yahoo boys are doing more harms than go to innocent citizens.

For the past few days, I have been talking about most activities yahoo boys do. They never seem to stop.

Just a few days ago, a girl ran mad after dropping off a car, which many people concluded the car belongs to a yahoo boy. The girl ran mad immediately the car drove off.

Girls are mostly the victims of these boys. They are their targets and still don’t seems to end. However, yahoo boys are also running mad too. It seems nature is about to catch up with them.

Nevertheless, I have talked about this topic before, but new findings just surface, and this will be the continuation of the previous article.

More so, yes just like I said, yahoo boys are also running mad and nature seem to be catching up with them. A few days earlier, a video and picture of two guys surfaced on the internet.

Two of them own exotic cars, both Lexus cars. One a jeep and the other a normal car. The one with a jeep coming out to talk about his share. Saying he wants is share, and where is his share.

The other pulled off his clothes, sat and laid on the floor, crying that he is tired. After all the money, he isn’t still happy and he is tired of it all. This shows the rich also cry, especially when illegal.

Now, we expatiate on more reasons why most yahoo boys run mad and the reasons why they should quit their evil and follow the due process.

1. Betrayal From Another Yahoo Boy

We know yahoo boys are greedy, so it’s not surprising when these boys betray each other which is common. There is a slang used by these boys called picker.

A picker is someone who uses his foreign connection to send the scammed money to them in Nigeria or via Bitcoin. The picker normally has his share from it.

However, the picker can betray them and such a guy can make the picker run mad via juju, charms or voodoo especially when he knows the picker has more money than him.

Also, if the owner of the scammed money is being greedy, he could be set up by giving him substance to run mad or to match, or via a girl.

2. Reverse Effects

There have been some cases whereby some yahoo boys try to use their parents or siblings, even their girlfriend for money ritual or their destiny for easy picking and such backfire.

Now, when such an act backfires, it usually comes as madness. The reasons why such act backfires is that, either the spirit of such a person is stronger or there is a praying person for such a person’s life.

3. Back To Sender

God is powerful, and the whole world knows. Most people are true worshipers. Their spirit is clean and God has his hands upon their lives.

Most at times, yahoo boys run mad due to back to the sender. How this happens is that most praying people are told about their plans, and they are asked to do some certain things to avert it.

PDP Crisis: Northern elders chides Require Ayu's evacuation


People’s Democratic Party Northern Elders’ support group has cautioned Southern party elders, over agitations for removal of party national chairman, Chief Iyorchia Ayu, in order not to overheat the polity and jeopardise the party’s chances in the 2023 general elections.

Speaking against the backdrop of strident calls for the PDP national chairman to step down for someone from the South, National Coordinator of the Group, Dr. Nasiru Aliyu Sadauki said people should be cautious with such calls, if not, it could become a tool of overheating political activities that could hinder the victory of the party in 2023 elections. He added that there must be a peaceful and amicable way of ending the ongoing campaign for the Ayu’s removal to bring enduring peace to the party.

Speaking in a statement after a meeting of members, stakeholders and goodwill ambassadors of the 2022-2023 PDP Community Based Mobilisation Vanguard and presentation of manual and guide for Atiku/Okowa campaign support groups in Kaduna on Thursday, Sadauki said there is the need for all stakeholders to sheath their swords for PDP to unite and progress ahead of inauguration of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council.

“The party leaders should face important issues of economic condition, insecurity, poverty, educational crisis and other challenges that are threatening Nigeria national unity and cohesion as a people rather than majoring in minor issue like calling for the removal of the chairman. There are issues on ground that need leaders to make sacrifice, offer solutions and relief to the public. No sensible party supporter will promote and seek Ayu’s exit in this time of expected cooperation, unity and understanding in the party.

“Nigerians are tired of such media display of arrogant characters by certain group of political elites in the country. Let us face issue and rebuke or disregard any political class who is more interested in seeming public sympathy rather than act to help rebuild the nation.

SportsJUST IN: Manchester United Manager Eric Bailly Ten Hag Responds To Eric Bailly C by Newsfash(op): 3:24pm On Sep 07, 2022
JUST IN: Manchester United Manager Eric Bailly Ten Hag Responds To Eric Bailly claim

Eric Bailly claimed Man United favour English players despite only one of them starting at least 20 Premier League games last season.

Bailly has now left United on loan
Erik ten Hag insists nationality is irrelevant when it comes to his team selection process at Manchester United.

United defender Eric Bailly, on a season-long loan at Marseille, said in an interview with The Times the club "favour English players" but "Ten Hag has a lot of character and I hope he can change that dynamic".

Bailly, 27, played 113 times for United across six seasons, averaging fewer than 20 appearances per season. It was reported last season the Cote d'Ivoire international specifically resented the privileges captain Harry Maguire enjoyed.

Maguire was the only English United player who started 20 matches or more in the Premier League last season and United have signed four centre halves at a cost of £216.3million since the £30m arrival of Bailly in 2016.

United interim manager Ralf Rangnick scolded Bailly for calling for Maguire to be dropped in a comment on Instagram and Marseille have an obligation to sign the centre-back if they qualify for the Champions League and Bailly plays a certain number of games.

"I have nothing to say about that because it was last season, I wasn't in charge, so I don't know the situation," Ten Hag said. When asked if nationality would have a bearing on his team selection, he replied: "Not for me."

Maguire could be recalled for United's Europa League opener against Real Sociedad on Thursday night and Casemiro could make his full debut.

Even though the Brazilian agreed to join United three weeks ago, he is the only one of the five outfield summer signings yet to make a start.

Scott McTominay has kept Casemiro out of the team in the last three games and earned plaudits for his performance in the 3-1 win over Arsenal on Sunday.

SportsBREAKING: Cristiano Ronaldo And Harry Maguire To Start For Manchester United Vs by Newsfash(op): 3:17pm On Sep 07, 2022
BREAKING: Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire to start for Manchester United vs Real Sociedad

Manchester United stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire are set to start against Real Sociedad in the Europa League, according to The Mirror. The duo have been on the substitutes bench in the previous four Premier League fixtures.

Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw are also expected to be in the XI as Los Txuri-Urdin visit Old Trafford. The game marks the opening of the Red Devils’ UEL campaign.

United were poor last season. With the signings the club had made last summer, fans were expecting the team to challenge for titles. However, things did not pan out that way.

Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo are set to start for Manchester United against Real Sociedad.
We had our worst points tally in the Premier League era at the end of the 2021/22 campaign. While most of our players were below par, the defence was shaky throughout.

United conceded 57 goals in the league last season. We ended the campaign with a goal difference of zero. And the Red Devils eventually failed to qualify for the Champions League, finishing sixth in the table.

Ronaldo and Maguire have been on the bench
Maguire was one of the players supporters pointed fingers at. Our captain was poor last season. And the England international started the new campaign in a similar vein.
