IF ONLY BUHARI CAN LEARN FROM THIS AND RESPECT HIMSELF TO GO BACK TO SECONDARY SCHOOL. I THINK HE WILL BE THE HERO OF OUR TIME

Soldiers of the 14 Brigade, Ohafia, stationed at Owaza, Ukwa West Council area, Abia state, have recovered a truck with 50,000 litres of stolen crude oil at Umuebulengwu community.

It was gathered that the oil thieves had loaded the truck with Registration number, XD 531 KHE, at the river bank in Ohando community from where they abandoned it at Umuebulengwu area.

Conducting newsmen round the area, Commanding Officer, 14 Brigade Ohafia, Brigadier General Lawrence Fejokwu, displayed a storage tank, wooden boats and hosepipes which the vandals laid through the river bank to the sea where they are believed to have sourced the crude oil.

Brigadier Fejokwu who was represented by the Operations Officer, Forward Operation Base, FOB, in the area, Captain Ishaya Banki, attributed the discovery to the success of the operation Crocodile Smile and commended the efforts of residents of the area who alerted soldiers to the activities of the vandals at the river bank.

According to him, “The hoodlums laid a pipe from the source where they were siphoning the crude from the sea to the bank of Ohando water front, using a pumping machine to pump the crude into the waiting truck. When we got the information, we swung into action. But by the time we got to this waterfront they had already moved the truck and smartly covered their track. But with the help of the villagers and our intelligence, we were able to trace the truck to this village (Umuebulungwu) and have been guiding it since yesterday. The Army is grateful to some residents of this area who tried to inform about the activities of oil vandals. What happened was that their vehicles got bogged down along the road. It was a night operation.

“We are however making arrangements to tow back the truck to safety and awaiting further directives. So far, from our investigation, we believe the crude in the truck is about 50,000 liters and efforts are ongoing to track the owner of the truck.”

British-Nigerian rapper, Joseph Adenuga, better known as Skepta, was awarded the UK’s prestigious Mercury Prize on Thursday for his album “Konnichiwa”, in recognition of a resurgent homegrown genre.

Skepta muscled out late rock legend, David Bowie, to clinch to top prize.

The award ceremony, which held at London’s Eventim Apollo, saw Skepta win the £25,000 award price for self-released album Konnichiwa, which covers topics including police harassment and his anger at British politics.

Skepta, who featured in Wizkid’s Ojuelegba remix, belongs to a Hip-hop genre called the Grime, a genre of music that emerged in England in the late 90s to early 2000s.

It is primarily a development of UK garage and jungle, accustomed with heavy instruments and is mostly homemade.

“The internet has given a lot of opportunities to people who are not built for big corporations,” he told the BBC after winning the award. “It allows you to speak to fans directly. To make things from your bedroom and give it to them.”

President Muhammadu Buhari will on Monday hold talks with world leaders at the United Nations’ General Assembly in New York on security issues and restructuring of Nigeria’s economy.

The president is expected to discuss with the leaders steps to improve the rehabilitation of Internally Displaced Persons within the country, as well as returning in north-eastern Nigeria and the Niger-Delta.

Also, the increase in the activities of militants within oil-rich Niger Delta region has had its effects on the nation’s economy, in addition to the prolonged terrorism in North East of the country.

A statement by Mr. Buhari’s special assistant on Media and publicity, Femi Adesina, said the president will be attending the UNGA meeting from Monday, September 19 to Friday September 23, to address cogent matters affecting the nation’s polity.

“On the margins of the 71st UNGA, President Buhari will sign the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and participate in activities commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Declaration of the Right to Development.

“The Nigerian leader will attend the Clinton Global Initiative as well as the United Nations Private Sector Forum on Business and Global Goals organised by the Secretary General.

“He will lead discussions at the United States-Africa Business Forum devoted to investing in Nigeria,” the statement said.

The president will also deliver a talk on climate change: “Taking Climate Action Towards Sustainable Development in Nigeria and the Lake Chad Basin”.
