Politics / “People On The Internet Live On Borrowed Robs” - Dolapo Osinbajo by Priscy01(f): 8:24am On Sep 15, 2019 |
Dolapo Osinbajo, wife of the Vice President, has appealed to Nigerian youths to desist from copying the lifestyle of people on the Internet as it is a "mere illusion.” She gave the advice on Saturday, September 14th during a Town Hall Meeting with Benue Youth held at the New Banquet Hall, Benue Government House, Makurdi. According to her, most internet users live on borrowed robes to impress their fans, they are living illusionary lifestyles that are not in conformity with reality. “The people on the Internet do not even look like themselves when you see them, they live on borrowed robs. Internet is just an illusion. It is a cartoon. This generation has everything to be happy; during our youthful days, we had no phones, no internet, yet we were happy and have produced great Nigerians for you today. “You need to be responsible else your generation will end up with pilots, medical doctors, nurses, engineers, bankers, security personnel etc that may be all drug addicts, ” she advised. She said a Nigerian child needed to be priceless, top class and should not be seen as a cheap product that can be purchased with as little as recharge card and further appealed to youth using internet to be cautions of their activities on the net as responsible companies at the moment, investigate applicants’ records including those on internet before hiring. “A Nigerian prince and princess should have a good background, they should not be bought by a mere recharge card. The child that has made himself or herself naked today on the internet cannot be employed in any responsible company in Nigeria tomorrow, because they will check their internet records before employing now. “Nigeria is waiting for you; the things you do today determine your tomorrow, don’t eat your tomorrow today. Everyone is waiting for you, everyone is praying for you, ” she cautioned. http://igberetvnews.com/992390/people-on-the-internet-live-on-borrowed-robs-dolapo-osinbajo-tells-youths/ Lalasticlala Mynd44 Dominique

We condemn any violence in our country, especially to our fellow African brothers and sisters. However, we must be careful with social media. Offically: 12 people have been killed in the recent Xenophobic attacks. 10 of them South African. 2 foreign nationals. Even South African celebrities were duped into thinking we were mass murdering foreigners. I wonder if they will now turn around and send condolences for their own dead countrymen and women. How’s about we put all this nonsense behind us and come together as AFRICANS once and for all huh? ❤️ Now that we know it’s mostly South Africans who died in the past two weeks violence ... it’s almost like it’s okay. We have a disgusting problem with our own self confidence and with violence. What a mess.” http://igberetvnews.com/980190/xenophobia-10-south-africans-dead-in-last-two-weeks-zero-nigerians-rapper-aka/ 1 Like 2 Shares

South African authorities say that no less than 90 persons have been arrested in connection with the xenophobic attacks on foreigners, especially Nigerians in the country. In a statement on Tuesday by the South African Government Communication and Information System (GCIS), the government denounced the widespread violence and crime as a way of addressing grievances, Igbere TV reports. It said: “Government calls for calm and restraint in certain parts of Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, as community members raise their concerns and grievances about various issues affecting them. “No amount of grievance or unhappiness can justify the looting of shops, destruction of properties and illegal blocking of roads. Such acts constitute a criminal offence and the law enforcement agencies must respond without any fear or favour.” The statement further said: “With regard to the attacks on trucks, 20 individuals have been arrested in KwaZulu-Natal after responding to incidents along major routes and known hotspots in the province. “These arrests relate to public violence and obstruction of traffic, possession of unlicensed firearms, attempted murder and malicious damage to property. “In Gauteng following the violence and looting of shops in Ekurhuleni, Tshwane and the Johannesburg CBD, 70 arrests have been made in connection with public violence, malicious damage to property and theft.” The government implored its citizens to “remain vigilant against fake news that are being peddled through the social media platforms to fuel tensions within the respective communities.” It warned that “anyone found to be spreading the fake stories on social media will be dealt with accordingly.” http://igberetvnews.com/959795/south-african-police-arrest-90-over-xenophobic-attacks/ Lalasticlala Mynd44 Dominique

Politics / I Challenge Anyone To Expose Me – Yari by Priscy01(f): 10:51am On Sep 02, 2019 |
Immediate past governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, has challenged anyone with evidence of corruption against him to go public. Yari said this on Sunday at his home in Talata Mafara when he received leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Igbere TV reports. He said: “I challenge anyone who says I personalised government property or funds within and outside the country while as governor to come forward and expose me.” The former governor and two other firms linked to him are being accused by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) of receiving various funds belonging to the Zamfara State Government through their accounts with two commercial banks. Yari, however, said: “As a governor, my business was to spend money which is what I did, but that was in line with the development of the state and for the benefit of the good people of the state. “We as true believers know that any action that comes for or against us is from Allah and those who think they can neutralise, break or bring us down cannot succeed. “When we first won elections in 2011, we had no government at either federal, state or local government levels and we consolidated this with our second term in office, so l know that hope cannot be lost now that we have government at the centre, at the local government and at the wards levels.” Yari returned to the state on Saturday after performing Hajj in Saudi Arabia. http://igberetvnews.com/955614/just-in-i-challenge-anyone-to-expose-me-ex-governor-yari/

They had booked a room at a guest house near the hospital. The incident took place around 4.20 pm on Saturday when the victims were returning to their room after visiting the hospital. “We were outside the guest house when a silver-coloured car stopped near us. There were two men and a woman in the car. They said they were police officials and wanted to check our passports and the currency that we were carrying,” the victim was quoted saying. Police said that the complainant later realised that the suspects had allegedly taken $1,800 from the total cash which he had given them for checking. Sub-inspector Mahesh Kumar said the suspects were not wearing police uniforms. “They checked the victim’s passport and currency while sitting in the car. They posed as police officers, but were not armed. We have retrieved the CCTV footage of the incident, but the car’s registration number is not clearly visible. The suspects are yet to be arrested.

Nigerians have reacted with disgust at the reappointment of Adamu Adamu as education minister. President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated his new cabinet on Wednesday with majority of the re-appointed members of his first term cabinet retaining their posts, Igbere TV reports. The ministers were inaugurated following the end of the Presidential Retreat for ministers-designate, presidential aides and other top government functionaries at the State House in Abuja. Aside Adamu, others who retained their positions include Lai Mohammed as the Minister of Information and Culture, Chris Ngige as Minister of Labour and Employment, and Chibuike Amaechi as Minister of Transportation among others. Adamu was part of those who Nigerians wanted out of Buhari’s new cabinet alongside Solomon Dalung and Adebayo Shittu who eventually did not make the list. Nigerians have now called the reappointment of Adamu a shame and disaster to education. http://igberetvnews.com/919305/nigerians-blast-buhari-for-reappointing-adamu-adamu-as-education-minister/ Lalasticlala Mynd44 Dominique

Mr Elkana said the “team however, went extreme by killing the suspects who were already in their custody instead of taking them to the Police Station and allowing the normal process of investigation and prosecution to be initiated as stipulated under procedural laws.” He said the Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu, has ordered a thorough investigation into the incident. “The Police Officers are currently subjected to internal disciplinary proceedings known as Orderly Room trial and if found culpable, they will be dismissed from the Force and will be handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department Yaba for prosecution in the conventional Court. “Members of the Public will be updated on the outcome of the investigation and trial,” he said. http://igberetvnews.com/919106/sars-operatives-arrested-to-face-prosecution-for-killing-unarmed-suspects-pic/ Lalasticlala Mynd44 Dominique

Politics / Governor Fayemi Bars Ekiti Officials From Speaking English At Cultural Events by Priscy01(f): 5:29pm On Aug 19, 2019 |
Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has banned officials of the state and other participants from speaking English Language at cultural and traditional functions. Igbere TV reports that Fayemi instituted this on Monday at the first Ekiti State Arts and Culture Stakeholders’ Forum with the theme: “Arts and Culture for Economic Prosperity.” Fayemi said it was important to take this step in order to promote arts and culture in Ekiti and reignite communication through Yoruba and Ekiti dialect. The governor was represented at the event by the Head of Service, Deji Ajayi. “From today henceforth, the government has banned the speaking of English in any cultural programme. Whoever that will participate in any traditional programme must speak Yoruba or our dialect,” he said. Fayemi said the state would hold its Festival of Arts and Culture in December 2019, as part of plans to boost the state’s economy. He said: “In the primary school teachers’ recruitment exercise we advertised recently, we wanted to employ 1,100 teachers and over 19,000 had applied on our website. This shows that government must develop the skills and capacities of our youths to be able to be on their own. “We are going to organise Ekiti State Festival of Arts and Culture in December this year to enhance our capacities in crafts, dancing, weaving and other vocational areas of arts. “We should not forget to teach our children those values that will make Ekiti to remember their heritage and sustain our culture as a people.” http://igberetvnews.com/913138/just-in-governor-bars-state-officials-from-speaking-english-at-cultural-events/ Lalasticlala Mynd44 Dominique
