Well I think people who have done well in one aspect of their calling can further aspire to political offices so as to see what contributions they could bring to the development of the country instead of thrusting the country into the hands of an incompetent herdsmen who had failed. to grow his 150 cattle for 12 years, a man who failed to make a simple WAEC and had to forge the certificate twice and even senselessly didn't realized that a/an Certificate/Attestation without a certificate number is fake.

Below is a Press statement from the Nigerian army made available to PoliticsNGR on the recent clash between Nigerian Soldiers and members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN);

Troops of Army Headquarters Garrison on official duty escorting ammunitions and missiles from Abuja to Army Central Ammunition Depot in Kaduna State were attacked by some members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) sect at Zuba bridge, of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) at about 3.00pm on Saturday 27th October 2018.

The sect who were supposedly in a procession, established an illegal road block denying motorists free passage. When the troops’ convoy attempted to clear the road block, they met stiff opposition from the sect. Members of the sect used various objects to barricade the road and also pelted the troops with stones and other dangerous items. They smashed both military and civilian vehicles’ windscreens and windows.

They also attempted to overrun the escorts to cart away the ammunition and missiles the troops were escorting. This led to the troops opening fire to extricate themselves. Consequently, troops of 102 Guards Battalion in whose Area of Responsibility the incident occurred rushed to the convoy’s rescue.

Unfortunately, during the encounter 3 members of the sect were killed while 2 soldiers sustained various degrees of injuries and are being treated at a military medical facility.

Meanwhile, normalcy has been restored in the general area and members of the public especially those plying the Abuja - Zuba Road are requested to go about with their normal activities with the assurance from the NIgerian Army that no individual or persons would be allowed to disturb public peace and unprovoked attacks against military convoys.

I do not need a confirmation from anyone that the NA convoy was attacked by these Shiites. We all need to see the genesis of how ZakZaky was caught. Go back to that video and see what transpired. Thanks to the NA for a good job.

Breaking: KDSG reinstates 24-hour curfew

The Kaduna State Government has reinstated a 24-hour curfew on Kaduna metropolis and environs, Kasuwan Magani, Kajuru, Kateri and Kachia. The curfew is effective from 11am today, Friday, 26th October 2018 and will remain in force until further notice

This is a necessary step to help maintain peace as we mourn the death of HRH Agom Adara, who we lost in the early hours of today to the criminals who abducted him last week.

The Kaduna State Government calls for calm in all our communities. The criminal elements who perpetrated this crime should not be allowed to divide us.

This is a struggle between good, decent, law-abiding people trying to uphold the peace and criminals who want to divide and destroy. It is not a struggle between religious or ethnic groups. Let no criminal find succour in faith or tribe.

Let us unite against every criminal activity. Let us stand together as human beings who have a right to live in peace.

The only way to stop this crisis is for the NASS to create a state from the present Kaduna state for the Southern Kaduna people whose lands have been forcefully taken from then by the Majority Hausas and Fulanis from Present day Zaria to their present location.If the Enir of Zaria was kidnapped and killed, the entire state would have been brouught on its knees.

Not all of them are Muslims. But I will agree with you that they are a violent people by nature.

As a resident of Kaduna,I dont take sides in these matters. Rather, I keep asking the educated Northern elites why they have turned their subjects and constituencies into militias, ethnic and religious armies. A typical Hausa Muslim does not believe that a Yoruba or Igbo Muslim is equally a Muslim like him. Instead he sees them as converts and unbelievers who hide under the guise of Islam to commit idolatory or puttin it properly, a Kafiri. A Christain Southern Kaduna man sees every Muslim as a terrorist that must be brouht down before he causes havoc.

The typical downtrodden Northerner needs proper orientation from their leaders on the need to live in peace with everyone in this Country.

@POLITICSNGR

Nigeria's minister for Transport, Rotimi Amaechi has revealed that the Abuja-Kaduna rail line cannot run faster than 90Km/hr because the ministry does not want locomotives to kill cows.

PoliticsNGR learned that Amaechi made this comment while speaking on the complications the Nigerian government faces while making concessions.

He broke down the various problems being faced by the Country's rail system adding that Nigeria has more than enough to transport via rail.

In his words;

"The reason why we want to go back to narrow gauge is because between Lagos and Kano, we have 30 million tonnes of cargo. Even if you do three rail lines, it cannot be enough.

It took us 14 days to move coaches from Lagos to Abuja; everyday we go and ask, how far, they say we are near Ogun state… 14 days.

But if it were rail, the same day, it will get to Abuja. The kind of construction we are doing is 120 kilometers per hour (Km/h), it is a speed train.

We are doing 90km/h with Abuja to Kaduna, the reason we are doing 90km/h is because there are cows everywhere, and we don’t want to kill cows. The other day they tried 100 and they killed how many cows, and they said ‘you people should replace the cows you killed.

From that day, I have said let us maintain the 90km/h; at 120km/h you get to Kaduna in one hour. You can work in Kaduna and live in Abuja. It was initially one, but now, we have done four locomotives with 14 coaches."

https://politicsngr.com/abuja-rail-cant-exceed-90km-hr-dont-want-kill-cows-amaechi/

What a joke. You call these Lord Lugard Locomotive Engines that crawl at a suspicious 90km-120km per hour self styled "Speed Train" when even the Chinese have stopped building them since twenty years ago. How do you describe Eurostar train? Hon. Amaechi should stop creating excuses for herdsmen especially his boss at Aso Rock that his race, the Fulani people are above the law. Cant they see the signs on these railways or cant they hear the horns of the trains coming from any directions? Or are they blind or deaf to know that what they are crossing are railtracks and not foot paths. If you actually want to help this errant Fulani herdsmen, gibe them enough incentives to keep them on their farm sttlements.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, says Nigerian workers should be clapping for the Buhari administration because it has done well for them.

Speaking in an interview with Channels TV, Ngige said the Buhari administration has been able to manage the welfare of workers in the country better than other administrations.

“Many people will not remember very quickly. In the military government, at a time, there was an embargo on employment; even embargo on promotions. When people go, the vacancies are there and the monies are returned to the coffers of the government. We are not doing so and I thought Nigerian workers should be clapping for us for that. We are promoting them (workers) as we speak; we are replacing those who have left. In fact, when people leave on high grades, we do what is called suppression and get more (people) on the lower grades. The Presidency doesn’t want anybody to be laid off; this President.” he said

The Minister went on to say President Buhari is very concerned about the welfare of workers because he was part of them, as a soldier. He said the Buhari administration has recruited 30,000 policemen and thousands of workers into various parastatals of the government.

Kanu also stated that his followers will not participate in any election. He said;

The Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi has cleared the air on why he decided to marry a prophetess.


Olori Moronke Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi walking over blood

The palace of the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has given reason why the king picked Olori Moronke Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi.

There was great joyousness at Ile-Ife, Osun State yesterday as the Ooni received his new wife at the palace, a day after he marked his 44th birthday.


The palace said he married the woman because of the spiritual strength she will bring to the kingdom and the fear of God in her.

According to a statement issued to daily post by the Director, Media and Public Affairs of the palace, Comrade Moses Olafare, confirms Naomi as the Ooni’s new wife.


He also revealed that the marriage rights were done privately in Akure, Ondo State and she was later received at the Ooni’s palace.
“Her Majesty, Olori Moronke Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi is the new Yeyeluwa Oodua.
“Necessary rites fully performed,” the statement read.


And as part of the ceremony, Olori Prophetess Naomi had to cross a spill of blood as one of the rites she had to performed as she moved into her husband, the Ooni of Ife’s palace last night.

We don't have the luxury of choice in these matters. I am very sure the op has been applying to all the countries you mentioned including Australia. Unfortunately, Australia where immigration is currently a hot topic offered him a fellowship. Hopefully, things eventually work out.

i hope and pray.

ARS1:
Long epistle alert!

It all started around January last year when I made up my mind to enroll for PhD program in Australia. Those who have passed through this stage will perfectly understand how tedious the process is- starting from putting in place a novel research proposal, getting a professor to supervise your project and finally, securing funding for your program. To be honest, one needs to be highly motivated and dedicated to survive these hurdles.

I must confess, my dedication and perseverance really paid off after series of rejections as I was able to get the consent of three supervisors from different universities who were willing to support my applications. Between July and December 2017, I had completed the application process for admission and funding. To God be the glory, the results started coming out in April 2018. Two of the Universities offered me admission with full funding (stipend + tuition+ family insurance cover) while the third University offered only admission without funding.


Sorry, i forgot to mention that one of the Universities is in G8 (equivalent of ivy league) What a great news! Without waisting time, I quickly accepted the offer from this Universty for obvious reasons. Apart from the fact that the University is consistently ranked among the top 50 in the world, my department is also ranked among the top 10 in the world. In view of this, I had to reject other offers.

As soon as my COE was issued, I quickly submitted my Visa application on June 26, 2018. To avoid unnecessary issue, every document was submitted with my application. To my surprise, I got no response from DIBP on my application after three months. Then, I decided to send a polite email to DIBP on 6th October 2018 on progress of my application as my enrollment deadline was 14th October 2018. Alas, I got a refusal notice on 9th October 2018.

In the refusal notice, the visa officer submitted that she was not convinced that I met the genuine entry requirement as I do not have strong ties to return to my country despite the fact that I didn't not apply together with my family. She further posited that she was not convinced that PhD is beneficial to my career goal as a tutor. What an insult again!

The refusal notice was quickly sent to the graduate school and my supervisor. This unfair decision did not meet my supervisor well as she quickly sought the intervention of the University. In her email to the graduate school, she clearly mentioned that this is the most disgusting reason for visa refusal she has ever heard. While she has hoped for the intervention of the University, I understand that the University might not be able to reverse the decision of DIBP as there is no option for appeal.

Given this dilemma, it will be appreciated if any useful advice could be given.

Of all the places you want to get your Phd, it is Australia that you decided to pitch your tent. The current stance of the present government in Australia is anti- immigration and I believe that if you are current with news you might have decided against applying to a school there. Anti immigration in most of these white dominated countries is based on one single issue: racism. Ask the New Zealanders about migrating to Australia and they will tell you its easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for their citizens to get to Australia. Because of mass migration and racism, the Australians moved their Nigeria and West Africa Visa section to South Africa and later back to Australia.


My Advice is dont insist on Australian Phd. You can go to UK Ivy League Colleges such London School of Economics and Political Sciences, Cambridge and Oxford to do your Ph.D without facing immigration problems. Much as their education is world class, you can find the same in USA and Canada if you care to search.

Wishing you good luck.

The 19th annual conference had the theme “Be a living epistle”.

She advised women to participate actively in the forthcoming election and also contest for leadership positions.

She said, “Through this, we shall raise a generation of conscientious leaders, who will have the fear of God in them to do all the needful to develop our dear nation.



“We as women must rise up to the task of reshaping our country by providing our intuitive ideas to support the development of Nigeria.

She further challenged women to raise children, capable of taking leadership positions in the future.


“We must endeavour to raise good children and of course inspire them to do the same to their children.

PRESS RELEASE

SANWO-OLU ON ‘THANK YOU’ VISIT TO LAGOS EAST SENATORIAL DISTRICT, REITERATES COMMITMENT TO INCLUSIVE GOVERNMENT



The Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, on Friday continued his tour of the three senatorial districts in the State with a visit to Lagos East. The thank you visit was put together by the Babajide Sanwo-Olu Campaign Organization to show appreciation to the leadership and members of the party who voted for him during the recent primary election in the State.

The tour, which took off in Lagos Central senatorial district on Thursday had all the leaders as well as members of the APC in the Lagos East Senatorial district in attendance.

Speaking on the reason for the visit, the Director General of the Babajide Sanwo-Olu Campaign Organization, Mr. Tayo Ayinde said the Sanwo-Olu team was at the Senatorial district to thank everyone for coming out in large numbers to cast their ballots in support of Babajide Sanwo-olu’s governorship aspiration. He said their love and support, which were shown adequately before, during and after the primary election will not be taken for granted.

Ayinde further stressed the need for a united front as the party goes into the general election against other political parties in February 2019. He promised that the campaign team will work with all the party leaders in order to bring into the campaign fold, all those who are aggrieved as a result of the House of Assembly and House of Representatives elections.

‘’we won’t allow the fallout of the House of Assembly and the House of Representatives primary elections to jeopardize the unity of the party.’’ Ayinde said.

He however promised to secure more than two point five million votes for Sanwo-Olu in February 2019.

In his remark, the APC governorship candidate Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu started by thanking members of the party in the district for accepting his candidacy in spite of the impromptu nature of entry and the short campaign period.

‘’you accepted my aspiration as impromptu as the journey was. We’re just starting, it’s a marathon and I can assure you that we won’t restrict the campaign to one location.’’ Sanwo-Olu said.

Sanwo-olu speaking on the disparity between the very rich and the very poor, promised that his government will ensure that it reaches out to everyone no matter how lowly they might be in the society.

‘’our government shall be a listening government. We will not condone wastage but will be fair to everybody. We will ensure that everyone is a participant in our government and will provide greatest good to the greatest people.’’ Sanwo-olu emphasized.

Leaders of the Lagos East Senatorial District, including Otunba Bushura Alebioshu, Senator Anthony Adefuye and Chief Olorunfunmi Bashorun pledged their total support for the governorship candidate, saying his emergence was nothing but divine. They however admonished the governorship candidate of the party to stay true to his promise to the district, when elected in February 2019.

The senatorial leaders also urged all members of the party to see themselves as one indivisible entity as the party goes into the general election next year.

Speaking on behalf of the Senatorial leader, Chief Bashorun congratulated Sanwo-Olu on what he described as a well-deserved victory in the primary election. He advised the APC flag bearer to carry everyone along, saying that the mandate given to him is from the whole of Lagos State.[b][/b]
