Politics / Bbc News Expose Buhari's Agenda On Biafra Vs Army Clash To The World (video) by ontiah: 5:06pm On Sep 17, 2017
The current military operation that took place in Abia state has caught the attention of the world as BBC World news took the events on air trying to explain the motives of the Nigerian president Buhari and the Army on the Igbo race.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cHE3GY1jNY


As a follow up of the evil agenda, Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari, “wants to wipe out the Igbo race”.

In a series of tweets on Saturday night, Fani-Kayode stated that if Buhari gets away with it, “he will come after the rest of us”.

He tweeted: “The attempt to break, subjugate and wipe out the Igbo race through the auspices of ethnic cleansing by @MBuhari shall fail.

“This is not about IPOB but about an irrational and pathological hatred of Igbos. If he gets away with it he will come after the rest of us!”

Fani-Kayode had previously condemned the labelling of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as a terrorist group.

He said: “How can anyone describe an unarmed group of people as terrorists. As far as I am aware Nnamdi Kanu and members of his IPOB have never killed anyone and neither have they been carrying arms.

“Theirs is a peaceful non-violent struggle in pursuit of a legitimate aspiration and objective.”

BREAKING: Nigerian Military Declares IPOB Terrorist Organization

The Defence Headquarters has declared the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) a militant terrorist organization.

The Defence Headquarters has declared the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) a militant terrorist organization.

Director, Defence Information, Major-General John Enenche, in a statement on Friday, said parents should dissuade their wards from joining the group and that the Armed Forces will confront “all security challenges facing the country.’’

Enenche listed reasons for the declaration to include, the formation of a Biafra Secret Service, claimed formation of Biafra National Guard, unauthorised blocking of public access roads; extortion of money from innocent civilians at illegal roadblocks, and militant possession and use of weapons (stones, Molotov cocktails, machetes, and broken bottles among others) on a military patrol on September 10, 2017.

“From the foregoing, the Armed Forces of Nigeria wishes to confirm to the general public that IPOB from all intent, plan, and purpose as analyzed, is a militant terrorist organization,” it said.

Based on the declaration, the army warned Nigerians against joining the group.

“Therefore, parents and particularly unsuspecting residents of the South East and other Nigerians should advise their wards to desist from joining the group,” it said.

“The Defence Headquarters restates its commitment to handling all the security challenges in the country and further assures all Nigerians of the protection of lives and property.”

See full reasons for the declaration below:

The Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) group which has posed to be a security challenge in the country, has been metamorphosing from one stage to the other. After due professional analysis and recent developments, it has become expedient, to notify the general public that; the claim by IPOB actors that the organization is non-violent is not true.

Sports / Nigeria Can Win 2018 World Cup -gernot Rohr (super Eagles Coach) Interview Video by ontiah: 10:17am On Sep 14, 2017
Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has expressed his confidence on the recent squad of football players playing for the country. He told channels Sport analyst Austin Okon Akpan that if the players give their best, they can bring surprises to the world of football in Russia 2018 world cup.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_XDfleW-tc

The super eagles coach admitted that Zambia would be a hard nut to crack when they confront Nigeria in the 2018 World Cup qualifier in Uyo October 7. But Zambian FA President, Andrew Kamanga believes it is a match his country can win.

Speaking in Lagos at the weekend, the Eagles manager disclosed that the Zambian national team, which is made up of young players, would fight against all odds to bring down the Super Eagles at home.

He noted that his mission at this moment is to work hard to raise a formidable squad that will qualify Nigeria for the 2018 World Cup, saying that the same spirit used by the team to fly over the Indomitable Lions would also be introduced against the young Zambia team.

Rohr admitted that Zambia’s recent outstanding performances against Algeria has given the team the courage to come to Nigeria with a mindset to spoil the Eagles’ World Cup qualification bid.

He assured that the Super Eagles technical crew would ensure that Nigeria got the World Cup ticket.

The coach, who described the Nigerian league and quality of players in the NPFL as growing gradually when compared to the standard of leagues in smaller African countries, said the country’s best players are playing in Europe where they have the best structures put in place.

He commended Eagles goalkeeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa for his impressive performance against Cameroon, adding that the FC IfeanyiUbah star would get more opportunities to prove his worth.

“We will not rest on our oars to ensure the Eagles win the game against Zambia. Getting the World Cup ticket is in our hands and the team would not lose focus.

“Nigeria has talented players, but I think the best of the players are in Europe because of the structures in place over there.

“On the case of Enyeama, I want to say that he is welcome to the Eagles any time he wants. Every Nigerian player playing regularly for a good club would be welcome to the Eagles, but I will not accept any player, who wants to dictate his role on the area or position to play.

“Carl Ikeme is recovering well and the team believes he will be ready if the Super Eagles qualified for the World Cup,” he said.

Meanwhile, president of the Zambian FA, Andrew Kamanga has stated that the October’s World Cup qualifier against Nigeria is a must win match to ensure their qualification for the 2018 tournament in Russia.

The Super Eagles, who are undefeated in four matches in the qualifiers, are being tipped by many pundits to take care of business and qualify for their sixth World Cup, but Kamanga is brimming with confidence after the Chipolopolo did the double over Algeria.

“We are putting in every effort to make sure that this team is adequately prepared as we face Nigeria, which for me is the do or die game as whoever wins that game will be assured of going to Russia 2018,” Kamanga told fazfootball.com.

“But most interestingly in this group, we are the only ones who have never been to the World Cup, but with the favour we continue to draw on we should be able to qualify, come November because we have the advantage of playing Cameroon in the final round.”

The Zambian team may camp in Europe before their trip to Nigeria for the World Cup qualifier.

The remuneration packages include: annual salaries, accommodation, vehicle maintenance and fuel, Personal Assistants, House maintenance, domestic staff, entertainment and utilities allowances. Others allowances are; Constituency allowance, Annual Leave, Hardship allowance, wardrobe, newspapers and responsibility allowances.

The basic salary of the Senate President is N2.48mn while that of the Speaker of House of Rep is N2.47mn.

Politics / Bad News: Buhari Stops Monthly Allocation To States (full Video Details) by ontiah: 9:25am On Sep 13, 2017
ABUJA—THE Federal Government, yesterday, told states and local governments that the days of coming to Abuja to share money were over, following dwindling allocations from the federation account.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52vr3UelmGw

This was stated in Abuja by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, at the opening of a “Two-day National Workshop on Alternative Sources of Revenue Generation for Sustainable Development on States and Local Government Councils in Nigeria.”

Osinbajo, who was represented by Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, said Federation Accounts Allocation Committee, FAAC, allocations were not only meant to pay salaries at the states and local government areas but for development.

He said the recent announcement by the National Bureau of Statics, NBS, on the country exiting recession indicated one of the stages in developing the economy.

He said: “This conference is coming at a time President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is working very hard to build the vision for the Nigerian economy after a period of declining revenue and declining growth.

“The recently announced exist from recession is simply one of the stages in the development of this economy, the growth of this economy for future generations and we are determined to build an economy that works for all Nigerians, not just for the rich.

“This commitment is critical and engines of this commitment are states and local governments and as you know, there are no federal people, everybody lives in the states or local governments.

“The states have to step up and generate that revenue because the days we simply as commissioners come every month to collect money are over for good.

‘’We have to adjust and many are adjusting incredibly well and I want to encourage those who are yet to get into the train to do so.

“So for this economy to grow with the way we intended, every state and local government must be sustainable, fiscally sustainable, must be able to meet their obligations.

‘’The obligation of the state and local government is not just for payment of salaries alone but for development, they have critical roles in development and in the recent economic challenges, even to pay salaries became a challenge. This has been extremely a worrying development.”

According to him, the government has worked very hard to ensure that states can lay the foundation for growth.

He said: ‘’The other one is the refund from the Paris Club over deduction to enable states clear backlog of arrears of salaries and created room for investments that would drive growth.

‘’The third of it, which will be developed jointly among the Ministry of Finance, the National Economic Council and the state governments was to institute 22-point sustainability plan which all the state governments signed up to 22 reforms that mirror the gamut of the reforms to the government at the federal level that aims to cut cost, increase efficiency and its revenues.

“We all know the story of over-reliance on oil. What has happened and is important at this stage to just give you some concepts. In June 2014, in one month, FAAC shared N1 trillion, but 2016 that lowered to N1 billion.

‘’So you can see the collapse in revenue and how this economy has shown resilience by showing the recession that ended was not a prolonged recession and we bench-marked and we also thanked the efforts of the Nigerian people to ensure it was not a prolonged recession which would have been disastrous for us.

“Now we have built the foundation for growth it has to be rapid development, accelerating the height of reforms at all levels.

“I want to encourage those who have embraced it to continue to do so, but I want to also encourage those who have not started the reform to quickly do so, it is not too late.

‘’I believe if we continue and move on the right path to diversify the economy, Nigeria will rise and fulfil the potential if we work hard. If we take to hard work, it will take less talk and more work.”
Politics / Breaking: Buhari Vows To Punish Fake News Publishers On Social Media (video) by ontiah: 9:46am On Sep 05, 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YocTXpQEPLM

The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has said those who carry fake news about the President want to cause disenchantment and expose him to ridicule and hatred.

According to him, there are many reasons why people will create and disseminate fake news, but top on his list is mischief.
Adesina stated this Monday night while appearing on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ anchored by Seun Okinbaloye and monitored by DAILY POST.

“There are many reasons; I can’t speak for those who are behind this development but I can hazard guesses why they do it. One will be pure mischief – to just cause disenchantment in the country,” he said.

His comments come amid growing concerns by the government about fake news, hate speech, and what it said is the misuse of the social media to create divisions and threaten the unity of the nation.

On Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, put out a statement rubbishing viral reports that the President would travel to the United States today to condole with President Trump in connection with the destruction carried out by Hurricane Harvey.
Adesina who read the reports and the comments that followed has little doubt about the intention behind the fake news.

“If you see the last line of that story, they said that the trip may not be unconnected to the President’s health. Can you just imagine that? I took time to read some of the reactions that followed that fake news and you could see people say all sorts of rubbish,” he said.

“That was their intention; so that they can expose the President to odium if possible. So, one reason is mischief; to cause odium, to cause disenchantment.

“Another reason could also be to de-market somebody. You want to de-market somebody and play up another person. Then, of course, another one is they want traffic to their website.”

Celebrities / Pretty Buhari's Daughter, Hanan Displays Her ART WORKS (vangi) In Abuja [VIDEO]] by ontiah: 6:26am On Sep 03, 2017
It was a roll call of dignitaries and art enthusiasts when the daughter of the Nigeria’s President, Hanan Buhari demonstrated her passion for photography and showcased her creativity in a solo exhibition in Abuja, recently.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlWgNlfwg-M


Perhaps, the first of first daughters of the Nigerian state in history to attract such attention to arts, Hanan’s example shows clearly that talent thrives with parental support. She bore the same sentiment in her later remarks. Meanwhile, the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed has described the exhibition as “a game changer”.

“This exhibition is a game changer in the sense that it is going to change the perception of our people towards the creative industry. I am using the word creative industry in a very elastic manner to include film, music, photography, interior decoration, architecture and publishing. The truth of the matter is that this is the future of Nigeria,” the Minister said at the opening of the exhibition, whose theme is “Innovation by Hanan”.

The Minister added also that in the past generations, parents wanted their children to be lawyers, doctors, engineers and accountants. “It was very unusual in those days to see a parent that would encourage his son or daughter to take to the creative industry,” he said

In his assessment of the pieces, Mohammed said the works of Hanan would change the perception of people towards the creative industry, which is not for drop-outs or the less-privileged in the society, but a sector for the highly talented. “What we are witnessing today is an endorsement from the highest

quarter that the creative industry is that area of our economy, which we have not really paid enough attention to,” he said.
For the Minister, the government’s target is to ensure that the creative industry contributes about 5% to the Gross Domestic Products (GDP) in the next few years, from its present contribution of 1.34%.

In her remarks, Hanan said she is inspired by her passion to show the world another side of Nigeria through unique photographs.

“You should always stand for yourself and let your parents know what you want to do,” she said.
The wife of the president, Aisha Buhari, director generals of the National Tourism Development Board, Folarin Coker and the National Gallery of Arts, Abdullahi Sabo Muku, the Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria, Bayo Onanuga and some members of the diplomatic corps also witnessed the opening of the exhibition.
