is this wat he was elected to do?

for how long would he continue giving them bags if rice?or will they eat a bag of rice forever?

money he could ve used to build infrastructures that would provide employment for the teeming unemployed masses of the state...jus wasted!

although it didn't come as a surprise...all these drama re in preparation for a second term.

our leaders lack capacity to think outside the box.

I ve been doing this a lot of times when I go to visit friends in areas I'm not familiar with...now I know better

Residents stayed indoors across major cities in south-east Nigeria as residents complied with a sit-at-home exercise called by pro-Biafran groups, with most businesses including banks, markets and motor parks under lock. The Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, had called for a sit-at-home today in the south-east to commemorate the declaration of Biafra by late Chukwuemeka Ojukwu some 50 years ago. In Owerri, Enugu and Aba, markets including the popular Ariara main market in Aba were on total lockdown. Other businesses including banks, fuel stations, and parks were also shut. A resident of Owerri and Biafra supporter, Okemiri Samson, commended the people of the city for the compliance to the exercise. “This is the highest compliance recorded in the city in recent times”, he noted. In Enugu, there was also a massive compliance. “I am at the Ogbete Main market in Enugu right now, it is under lock and key. “My sisters went to school and their school was closed so they came back,” a resident, Raphael Onyekachi, told PREMIUM TIMES on phone. In Port Harcourt, south-south Nigeria, there was also a high level of compliance according to a resident. Okezie Omeire. Mr. Omeire advised commuters not to bother going to Aba or Umuahia as the road was closed. “If you are going to Aba from Port Harcourt, please don’t even dare! You will not get to your destination. Everywhere is as dry and as silent as a graveyard. I just wasted my time and money this morning thinking I will make it to Umuahia this morning but guess what? I can’t even make it to Osisioma junction. I have to drive back to PH (Port Harcourt),” he said. “Starting from Port Harcourt city, Rumuola, Rumuokwuta, Rumuokoro, Choba, Mile 1, Mile 2 and Mile 3 markets, Oil Mill and any busy place you can think of in PH, everywhere is scanty and deserted!” The exercise, according to preliminary reports gathered by PREMIUM TIMES has so far been a huge success in Anambra State especially in Onitsha as shops, markets, banks and schools in the city remained closed. According to a resident, John Okorie, “MASSOB called and we answered. All businesses in the city are closed including shops in the streets.” Security officials were seen driving around the city to keep the peace. A similar situation was recorded in the state’s capital, Awka, and the second commercial city of Nnewi. In Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, there was partial compliance, as the Abakpa Market, the city’s main market, was opened but most shops still remained closed at press time. Many of the traders were seen gathered in front of their shops discussing the situation. As they noticed that those who flouted the order and opened their shops were not being molested, many of them summoned courage and started opening their shops. But the major private transporters in the city shut down their parks in compliance with the MASSOB and IPOB directives. However, two banks, UBA and First Bank, opened their doors to customers while other banks remained shut leaving customers, who thronged to the banks, stranded. Hours later, some other banks opened for business after observing the tight security mounted by police and other security agencies in the city to secure lives and prosperity. But Ecobank and Diamond bank branches remained closed as at press time. Also, police helicopters were seen hovering over most of the cities to provide aerial surveillance especially in Umuahia, the hometown of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Mr. Kanu, who is facing charges of treasonable felony, was recently released on bail. While on bail, he has, however, restated his demand for a Biafran state, and urged support for Tuesday’s sit-at-home. The Ohaneze Ndigbo, a foremost socio-cultural Igbo group, also said it saw nothing wrong in the sit-at-home directive, saying it was a peaceful means of protest

Cesc Fabregas has refused to rule out a
possible transfer away from Chelsea in
the summer despite insisting that he
feels loved at Stamford Bridge.
The 30-year-old midfielder has endured a
frustrating campaign in Antonio Conte’s first
season in charge at Stamford Bridge despite
helping Chelsea win the title.
Fabregas found his first-team opportunities at
Chelsea to be severely restricted this season
and only started 13 Premier League games for
the Blues.
However, the Spaniard delivered whenever
called upon and scored five goals and made 12
assists for the west London side as the won
the title for the second time in three seasons.
Fabregas’ lack of playing time this season has
inevitably caused him to be linked with a move
away from Chelsea this summer.
And the midfielder did not give any
reassurances about his future when quizzed
about his situation after Saturday’s FA Cup
final.
Asked if he had ever considered leaving
Chelsea, Fabregas told the Evening Standard :
“Not necessarily, but in football you can never
say never.
“Anything can happen but I have always said I
feel very, very loved by the fans here and every
time I have played I have shown I can play at
the top level in this team.
“It is all about trying to change the manager’s
decision.
“Of course every player wants to play more, it
is in the genes of a winner and I am one of
them. I’m here for whatever the team needs
and I have shown that during the season.

Counting of the sums of money allegedly
recovered from the official residence of a
Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Sylvester
Ngwuta, and which were ordered by a Federal
High Court in Abuja, to be deposited in the
Central Bank of Nigeria on Thursday, has
revealed a discrepancy of a total amount of
N22,160.
Justice John Tsoho, before whom Ngwuta is
being prosecuted on money laundering and
passport fraud charges, disclosed on Friday
that while the prosecution claimed to have
tendered N35,358,000, the counting witnessed
by representatives of the court and parties in
the case on Thursday, revealed that the
amount actually tendered was N35,335,840.
The judge said this while informing the court
about the report of the counting submitted to
him shortly after proceedings commenced on
Friday.
There were no problems with the money in
other currencies.
The prosecution had through the leader of the
Department of State Service’s search team, Mr.
John Utazi, that allegedly recovered the various
sums of money in local and foreign currencies
from Ngwuta’s house, tendered the money
before the court as exhibits earlier on
Thursday.
The money was contained in nine bags and
boxes.
Out of the nine items, eight of them contained
naira notes, which Utazi said totaled
N35,358,000.
He said the ninth bag contained £25,915;
$319,596 (USD); R50 (South African rands);
€280 (euros); 380 ( dirhams); and 420 dalasis.
The items were opened during the Thursday’s
proceedings to reveal the content but the
counting in the presence of the representatives
of the court and parties to the case was done
after court proceedings on Thursday.
But under cross-examination by the lead
defence counsel, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN), on
Friday, Utazi insisted that the amount he
delivered to the court was N35,358,000, which
he earlier claimed and not N35,335,840 which
the report of the counting revealed.
Utazi said, “What I delivered to the exhibit
keeper yesterday (Thursday) was
N35,358,000.”
When asked, he said, “I was not present when
the money was counted.”
When pressed to answer if he disagreed with
the report of the counting, Utazi said, “What I
delivered
N35,358,000.
“I stand by what I delivered to the court.
“I meticulously counted the money.I don’t
know whether to agree or not but what I
delivered to the court was N35,358,000”

they send their children abroad for study leaving our dilapidated institutions to the children of poor masses,yet claiming they love us.

Vice Chancellor of the Kaduna State University
(KASU) Prof. Muhammad Tanko has debunked
rumor that is trending on social media that the
Kafanchan Campus of the University has been
closed down with the view to relocate both
academic and non-academic activities of the
campus to the Kaduna Main Campus. This was
stated in a statement signed by its VC and
issued to Journalists on the 22nd May, 2017 in
Kaduna State said,” This rumor emanated as a
result of a “Notice of Resumption” issued out
by the Management of KASU, Kafanchan
Campus which directed all undergraduate
students of Kafanchan Campus that the KASU
portal would be opened on Monday (today)
22nd May, 2017” for those who were unable to
complete their (first semester) registration, they
should ensure they do so”.
What thickens the closure rumor further was a
paragraph in the resumption notice which
noted that “all students would resume at the
main campus” same date, and are therefore
“advised to report at the consultancy unit
where you will be allocated accommodation at
no cost to you”, while “lectures would
commence at the main campus on Monday
29th May, 2017” respectively.
However, making a clarification on the said
notice of resumption, the Vice Chancellor
explained that,” the current action was taken
on the best interest of the students so that
they can cover the lost semester; catch up and
continue with their normal studies pending
when the campus is reopened, which academic
activities were suspended last December owing
to security breakdown in Kafanchan,” According
to him,” no students were left behind in their
academic pursuit during his time as he was
very committed to taking Kaduna State
University to higher academic success before
the completion of his tenure as Vice
Chancellor.
“Students of the Kafanchan Campus were seen
in groups at the main campus discussing in
exciting tunes after they have given details of
their registration as directed by the University
authority. The Kafanchan Campus of KASU is
made up of two faculties and eight
departments. They are Faculty of
Environmental Science and Faculty of
Agriculture. They consist of the following
departments. viz: Environmental Management,
Architecture, Estate Management, Quantity
Survey; and Agric Extension, Agric Economics,
Crop Production and Animal Science. The
statement added.

A High court in London has awarded former
Delta State governor, James Ibori, a nominal
£1 (about N400) as damages over his claim of
unlawful detention by British Home Secretary
Amber Rudd.
Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb agreed that Ibori,
who spent years in UK jail for money
laundering, was unlawfully held for one day, 18
hours and 10 minutes between December 20
and 21 last year.
She however ruled, in a way that mocked
Ibori’s claim, that he is only entitled to a
nominal £1 of the sum. Ibori had
claimed £4,000 in damages.
She said the Home Secretary “failed to have
regard to her limits to detain” as attempts
were made to claw back millions from the
fraudster.
But in rejecting Ibori’s bid for thousands in
compensation, the judge ruled: “There is no
compensatory loss to Mr Ibori and I fix nominal
damages at £1.”
Ibori was extradited to the UK for trial in
February 2012 and prosecuted on the basis of
evidence from the Metropolitan Police. He
pleaded guilty to 10 serious criminal charges
over the appropriation of massive amounts of
public funds during his two terms as governor
of Delta State, Nigeria.
He was sentenced in April 2012 at Southwark
Crown Court to 13 years imprisonment, and an
order for his deportation as a foreign criminal
was made in May 2015.
Having spent time in custody in the United
Arab Emirates, he was due to be conditionally
released from prison on December 20 2016.
But the Home Office indicated that there was
no intention to deport Ibori to Nigeria until he
handed over at least £57m “proceeds of
crime.”
An email stated: “we cannot deport Mr Ibori
until the confiscation matter has been
resolved.”
On December 21 last year, the day after his due
release date, High Court Mrs Justice May
ordered Ibori to be freed on conditions,
describing the attempts to detain as “quite
extraordinary.”
The judge said: “You don’t hold someone just
because it is convenient to do so and without
plans to deport them.”
A Home Office application that Ibori be
electronically tagged and subject to strict
curfew conditions was also rejected after the
judge accepted arguments that the Home
Secretary was attempting to misuse her
immigration and deportation powers.
Ibori left the UK under his own steam on
February 3 2017, but also launched his claim
for damages for false imprisonment and breach
of his rights under the 1998 Human Rights Act
not to be unlawfully detained.
Ruling on Monday that Ibori had been held
unlawfully for almost two days, Mrs Justice
Cheema-Grubb said it followed a failure to hold
effective confiscation proceedings.
It was in the context of awaiting the making of
an assets confiscation order, and likely
subsequent efforts to “recoup” a sum estimated
to be at least £57m, that the decision to
detain Ibori was made.
The judge ruled: “In this case, the secretary of
state has been wrong-footed by the failure of
the prosecution to achieve determination of its
confiscation proceedings against Mr Ibori prior
to his release from prison on licence.”
Ibori, a former London DIY store cashier, was
jailed for fraud totalling nearly £50m in April
2012.
He evaded capture in Nigeria after a mob of
supporters attacked police, but was arrested in
Dubai in 2010 and extradited to the UK.
