Earlier today President Buhari declared his intention to seek re-election in 2019. He made this known at a closed-door meeting of the National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Read his full speech at the meeting below;

His remarks:

REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, MUHAMMADU BUHARI, PRESIDENT, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, ON THE REPORT SUBMITTED BY THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS NATIONAL EXECUTIVE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE 9TH APRIL, 2018

I am delighted to welcome you all to this very important meeting in the affairs of our party and our country. I want to specifically thank members of the Technical Committee for a job well done within the limited time frame.

2. It shows a great sense of commitment to the ideals of our party with a view to consolidating and positioning the party to continue delivering good governance in the overall interest of Nigerians.

3. With the present state of the party and based on the report submitted by the Technical Committee, It is important to focus on how to move the party forward by avoiding actions detrimental to the interest of the party. Considering that politics is a game of numbers, we must not be a house divided against itself and must try to note, appreciate and accommodate our differences as far as the law permits.

4. Upon my review of the Report, my position is to ensure that the party tows the path of unity, legality and cohesion and not that of division.

5. Therefore, I am stressing that we should strengthen our internal democracy by organising the Party’s Congresses and Convention where election of National Executive Committee members would be held. This will automatically end the cases filed by members seeking orders of Court compelling the party to hold its Congresses.

6. I also believe that the current executives should be free to vie for elective positions in the party if they so wish as permitted by our Party constitution.

7. However, considering the provision of Article 31(1)(iii) of the APC Constitution which requires any serving officer desirous of seeking re-election to resign from office 30 days before election, I am not sure of the practicality of present serving officers’ ability to meet this condition.

8. Accordingly, the party may consider granting waivers to party executives at all levels so that they are not disenfranchised from participating in the elections should they wish to do so, provided this does not violate our rules.

9. Necessary waiver(s) should also be extended to executives at the Ward level whose tenures may have elapsed, and indeed to anyone knocking at our doors from other political parties. This is in the spirit of the Right to Freedom of Association guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

10. In this circumstance, the party should officially issue a statement on the above Waivers so that our house may be full. We all must not be ignorant of the times, and the journey that is ahead of us.

11. Just like our party symbol; “the Broom,” which typifies strength in unity, let us strive to remain united in our purpose. Victory is sure by the Grace of God, and together we must continue to sanitize Nigeria’s political environment.

12. Once again, I welcome you all to this meeting with the hope that we will, in our deliberations today, conduct ourselves without rancour and promote the highest interest of the party and the nation.

Thank you.

Former Arsenal star and captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Kanu Nwankwo has distanced himself from the rumours making the rounds on the internet that he is campaigning for the 2019 presidency, saying he does not know where and how his name has been linked to the race for Aso Rock Villa.

Goal wrote an ‘April Fools’ article revealing that the former Super Eagle was inspired to follow in George Weah’s footsteps to help provide a better life for his fellow countrymen.


But despite the article stating it was an April Fool joke, and it being written by “Loof Lirpa”, it was taken seriously by multiple media outlets who then reported on it as fact.

This then generated heated argument across several media platforms on whether the former Champions League winner had what it takes to lead the country.

But in a chat with Goal, Kanu is shocked at the way the ‘April Fool’ article quickly went from hoax to fact.

“This is meant to be a joke but people haven’t seen it that way,” he told Goal.

“I think there is a need to inform them that it is just April Fool.

“My immediate concern is using my vast contacts and experience to develop the Nigerian youth through sports.

“I also want to keep saving lives through the Kanu Heart Foundation.”

In the same vein, Nigerian Guardian also quoted the ex-footballer, fondly called Papilo, as saying that he was surprised to see his poster on the Internet campaigning for the Presidency.

Speaking in Lagos on Friday, Kanu said: “I have not in any capacity announced such ambition. I do not know where such story emanated from.

“As a Nigerian, I will be glad to be in such a position if it is God’s will. I also will make official declaration if such idea comes my way. At this point in time I am not seeking any political position.”

Kanu was in Lagos for the launch of the Ultimate Football TV Reality Show, which he was unveiled as the ambassador.

He said his desire to be part of the project was because part of the proceeds from the programme would be used to fund the Kanu Heart Foundation, adding that the Ultimate Football Fan TV Reality Show will also help in increasing the awareness of the game at the domestic and international levels.

A 20 year old man arrested by operatives of Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command has confessed that his gang use a toy gun to rob stranded motorists around Adeniji Adele end of the Third Mainland Bridge.

The suspect, Rilwan Wasiu from Oyo State was arrested last week Thursday at Adeniji Adele under bridge around 10:00 p.m. while he was fighting with his girlfriend.

The officers according to report sighted the suspect beating his girlfriend late at night by the road side. The officers stopped to mediate in the dispute when a toy gun fell off the body of the suspect.

The suspect had attempted to run away immediately the toy gun fell off his body when he was promptly apprehended and taken to the RRS Headquarters.

Wasiu had initially claimed that he picked up the toy gun from where he was sleeping under the Adeniji Adele Bridge. “I found it where I was sleeping. I picked it up to go and destroy it before the misunderstanding with my girlfriend”.

On further interrogation, the suspect disclosed that he is one of a 3 – man robbery team dispossessing stranded motorists and passers-by around Adeniji Adele end of Third Mainland Bridge of their belongings.

According to him, his two other gang members include Salami and Sakiru and that they operate at night after working as bus conductors during the day.

Commenting on the development, the Lagos State Command Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti said that the deployment of more police officers by the Commissioner of Police to checkmate the activities of criminals on the Third Mainland Bridge had reduced crime in the area, adding that, officers are on the trail of other members of the gang.

The suspect has been transferred to FSARS for further investigations.

President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Melvin Pinnick has reacted to Nigeria's Super Falcons' humiliating defeat to the French female national team in an international friendly.

Amaju Melvin Pinnick

The game ended 8-0 in favour of the French ladies to the surprise of all Nigerian football lovers.

In His words:

Our Super Falcons team is the best female team in Africa. Our pride in them will never waver. As with any friendly match, the game against France was more for the technical team to look at the players now and see who and what will fit. The result, though very lopsided just shows how much work is in front of us. We concentrated a lot of our efforts on our Super Eagles, but it was unintentional. It was mainly due to situations beyond our control and not limited to finance as well. Our female football teams have always done us proud.

Hopefully, we will do them proud as well. So, I would like to just tell Nigerians that I, the Executive Committee and Management of the NFF, are all very proud of our Super Falcons and we know they will make us proud as they usually do. One bad experimental result does not change a priceless asset; our dear Super Falcons. Again, we would really like to thank Nigerians for their prayers, criticisms and support. Our Super Eagles crossed the first hurdle; qualifying for the World Cup in Russia. Now, we strive to make it a good tournament. Thank you.

Yoruba actress and producer Tayo Odueke popularly known as Sikiratu Sindodo has shed more light on reason many think she is a wayward person.

In an interview with Sunday Scoop the actress opened up on her upbringing, career and more.

Speaking on her education, she said;

For my elementary education, I attended Mainland Preparatory Nursery and Primary School in Surulere, Lagos. I then proceeded to the Methodist Girls High School, Yaba, Lagos, for my post-elementary education. I did a two-year diploma course in Theatre Arts at the University of Ibadan. After that, I studied Creative Arts at the University of Lagos but I didn’t graduate.

On her career;

I cannot recall how many movies I have featured in but the first film I acted in was titled, Hired Assassin. It was an English movie directed by Charles Novia. As of that time, I didn’t even know that I was going to become an actress. A friend of mine had told me to folow her to an audition she had in Surulere and when we got there, I met people like Grace Ama, Ayo Adesanya, JT Tom-West, among others.

I acted as a bodyguard to Segun Arinze’s character in the movie. While on that set, Segun Arinze directed me to a woman who was about shooting a Yoruba movie and that was how I really got into the movie industry.

On how she got the name Sikiratu Sindodo;

The movie that led to my breakthrough is Sikirat Sindodo. The name, Sikirat Sindodo, has stuck with me ever since and it is always in the news for the bad reasons. People see me as a very wayward girl because of the role I played in the movie.

Meanwhile, I am a very calm person. I don’t go out when it is not necessary and I mind my business. However, I don’t regret playing that particular movie because I was just doing my job.

Gov. Aminu Masari disclosed this during the Third Convocation ceremony of the Umaru Musa Yar’adua University, Katsina on Saturday.

“The state government is committed to protection of lives and property of the state’s citizens as well as the students,’’ he said.

“We believe that a learned society that is attune to the demand of its time is a more successful one, that is why we continuously commit a huge percentage of the state budget to the education sector,’’ he said.

A Nigerian man has shown his optimism for creativity in Africa. On a recent trip to Rwanda, Yakubu Jimoh John revealed the many uses of banana stem which he believes can be put to good use in many areas of the country as well as create wealth.

Jimoh shared photos from the skill acquisition centre, where some creatives had used the stem of banana to do the seemingly unbelievable.

He revealed; not only can they be used for very comfortable, rafia-type chairs they can also be used for sanitary towels. John attended the training in which people were taught how to convert certain "waste" material into useful items in the household and offices. His passion for such initiative was expressed in his post, where he boldly claimed, Africa will be great again.

In his post, which was shared on Facebook, he said:

"Today in My Training Flag Off in Nyanza, Rwanda While waiting for others that are due to be trained together with us, I was taking a look at different things at the centre, the place used to be a Government Centres For Different Skill( Skills Acquisition Centre).
As I was looking around, I saw this chair and Stool made in Rwanda with Banana parts.
I was actually amazed, and surprised, I haven't seen or heard people make Something out of banana Stem, rather than chop it off after cutting the main thing to eat, I actually love people who are creative, here in Nigeria people just cut it off.
Earlier in my post I wrote something, "Turning a Waste Products into a Real Wealth in Nigeria". This thing really serves as a good chair for homes, It is being sold at a reasonable price in Rwanda Markets here.
I learnt that in Rwanda here, You make something of something, I don't see them, Harvest Cassava and don't use the leave,use the stick not to dry, Chop off sugar cane and leave it to rotten or many other things.
I wants to implore our governments to do something in creating various opportunities you can do.
In the centre being a Government owned, there is actually a need to attach pictures of past training held there.
I saw there how you make pads for women with banana.
Kudos to Rwanda Government.
Africa Will Be Great."

Zimbabwe has crowned its first-ever “Miss Albino’’ in a beauty pageant that aims to tackle the stigma faced by people with the rare disorder.

“I want to fight for the rights of children with albinism,” competition winner, Sithembiso Mutukura said.

The 22-year-old social work student receives a cash prize of 85 dollars – far less than was originally planned, said event organiser, Brenda Mudzimu, who is paying the sum out of her own pocket.

Mudzimu criticised Zimbabwe’s government and the private sector for not supporting the initiative.

Thirteen women took part in the “Miss Albino’’ pageant, which in its inaugural year attracted just one sponsor.

People, who suffer from albinism have lighter skin and hair due to an absence of pigment.

The condition is also associated with vision problems.

Albino people face discrimination and violence in many African countries, where superstition says that their body parts possess magical powers.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has counted 600 attacks on people with albinism since 2006 in 28 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
