This man sef. So everyone in the nysc program must rely on the allowance?

What are you saying? Just like that out of the blues seeing this lady with this expensive shit! and people should not ask questions? No known opulent parents! No known wealthy background!! I don't know the last time she has any viable business with a total income or profit that can buy her a 306 Peogaut left a lone a Benz! Haba na!! Make dem take am easy make societal pressure no kill some youths.

TheBizGenius:
I have a first degree in mechanical engineering and I am disappointed in what Makinde said.

If you have a road project that transverses

A. over marshy areas and you have to sand fill,

B. over water and you have to build a bridge and

C. over hard soil and you simply lay your asphalt on it,

how do you get the average cost of such a project?

But I also understand that Umahi dey hide figures to dey chop as naija politician anyway but professionally, he is right.

Make I no even mention the Arise broadcaster own. Mtchew.

Bro I am disappointed in your submission and defense on Dave! I am not an engineer neither am I an economist but the least basic elementary economics could solve this problem. For you to have any average cost you must have a total cost of production and for the total cost of production to be available there must be quantity surveyors to look at every variable to bring about the total cost and since the road comes in kilometer the bridge(s), swampy areas etc will be calculated in the kilometer then you then divide the total cost per kilometer to get the average cost. This is not only applicable to road but any production And if you say it is not professionally right why is it that they budget is over 700 billion naira for the road how did they come about it? how comes they get the total cost for the money that we can't get the average cost since the road is in kilometer i.e unit per production? We all know presently the average cost but we want to hear from the minister why the money is that outrageous that per kilometer is 4-10 billion and he knows that, that is why he is dodging the question. Go back to production in engineering again their is no way there will be average cost without a total cost so let him tell us the average cost which will come in unit of production known here as kilometer and let us know why it is like that simple! And the least he can do now is to tell us how many kilometers (unit of protection) has been done and divide it by the total costs for us to know how much he spent per kilometer right now! But the man is being defensive and invasive because he knows Nigerians are not always accountable and transparent.

kunle4toyeyaho:
It is rude of Makinde to talk down on Umahi. There are better ways of playing opposition rather than mocking an accomplished engineer. Moreover,asking for cost per kilometre is a lay man's question, there were expecting the minister to give them a figure,so that they could multiply it by 700 and start spewing their gibberish as usual.

Bro you are getting me angry with this your insensitivity! Man... you are part of those who are still holding Nigeria in ramson of bad governance how do you expect the journalist to ask him the question that you are saying it's a lay man? while the general essence of communication is understanding. More so, it is insulting to the intelligence of Nigerians and the public that our politicians don't only have the temerity not to be held accountable but goes on with audacity to even condescend themselves above their questionnaires and abuse them just imagine the level of nerves they have because of immunity and their henchmen or bootlickers like you. A simple question that demands a simple answer has become a national debate of the day because of ego, pride and impulsive behavior by our Kleptomaniac leaders. The level of Nigeria open corruption and outboost is really personified that has never be seen in any corner of the world and what baffles me is seeing some data boys defending our slave masters. To start with, are we in economics class for Dave to say that question was not use with appropriate terms so he can't answer it after fully knowing what the question is all about? Secondly to himself and his online keyboard warriors so because the terrain and topography is not the same we can't have actual cost... sorry average cost? interesting! this I know why mean, mode and median where scrapped in economics or better still why we don't have quantity survey as a course in our universities! This is very jaw breaking and heartbreaking a question without insult but become astronomically aggregated to this magnitude because we are fantastically corrupt!

Putindbutt:
This fake news blog, the way he confidently sits in the corner of his room fabricating stuffs in his head to sell to the gullible is out of this world.

Sorry, hopping and wishing this story is not true should not make you make statements out of pains and pettiness. It is better you keep praying the story is fake for your political godfather than writing this emptiness.

Not quite long many people including myself predicted the downfall of Wike due to his egocentric, outboost, demigod attitude and his constant interloping and eye service behavior. He bought the fight between Sowore and the Presidency to end up going home with corruption bruises. Now he is now being relegated to an ordinary minister without influence this is the prize you get when you fight everybody and refuse to choose your battle wisely! I am assuring him if he continues like this Tinubu that I know will crush him both in spirit and in truth. He needs to be very careful and have deep introspection and retrospection!

I am a professor in Practice who are you?

AndroBlaze:
Rufai isn't a journalist.

He isn't interested in reporting facts/truth and trusting the audience to make up their mind for themselves, he wants to tell you what to do and how to react.

He wants to wield power and wants to wield control, he just doesn't know how to do it.

To be honest, there are a lot of journalists we have in this country that aren't skilled enough to stop their mask from slipping, they want to be politicians and political influencers but are unsure they can garner support.

At least Sowore stopped pretending and became a man and chased his dream.

Brother what you said up there is classical and premium glorification of insensitivity by your paymaster. Dave and many other Nigerian politicians appearing on Usseini show are classical examples of corrupted breeds of what we have today and I guess you being their trumpeter will go home with a prize of Noble Laureate. On Dave, I watch the short clip of the interview. A simple question that demands a simple answer turns out to be salacious and fallacious implosion of Ad Hominem and Red Herring that makes the so called Professor in Practice to become a wounded Lion. Just what is the average cost of the road per kilometer nothing hard here to answer and say the cost could vary but on an average this is the cost... because the essence of communication is understanding but the dishonourable minister immediately became an economics teacher! The question supposed to be "average cost not actual cost" who told him we are in commercial class? just because he wants to run away from accountability and transparency and knows saying the cost could employ intelligent Nigerians to question the truthfulness in the figures made him embarrassingly and coning deviates from the question in a petty way or perhaps still because he will have surrogates, foot soldiers, e warriors and praise singers who will defend him. To tell you that the man is a personified example of a Nigerian he went on with audacity to say that he can't be compelled to say the figures because he had mentioned it earlier. And to the world for those who said there is no actual cost sorry average cost of a road per kilometer because of variation in topography it is outmost lies from the pit of hell every budget made for construction has its average cost that is why we have quantity surveyors! The will inspect the project and say this is what will cost on an average per kilometer if it is a road construction. So you guys are not talking to illiterates like your pay master. Even the UN has an average standard cost per kilometer construction of road know this and no peace!

Kingpele:
That won't happen because oil is not found in northeast ..moreover if he decides to declare emergency rule and retain the governors of the affected state ..people will see it as double standard...because of the manner he declared emergency rule in rivers state

which oil found in the North East Palm oil or grandnut oil or perhaps the one that was found for political motivation for the camera and a means the region can have something as a bargain chip. Why can't them continue the oil drilling?...

It is 50-50 with the oath being in favor of Badenoch becoming the next UK prime minister haven't it being that the present one is very unpopular and the majority of UK citizens becoming like MAGA supporters in nature due to Trump influence as a result of a particular religion fundamentalists and extremism behavior going highly unchecked. Kemi will fit in even though she is a cultural and agnostic Christian the Faith with her ideology on conservativeness will help her click that position in no time soon. Let the world know it is not as a result of immigration it is because of a particular dogmatic religion with a primitive, bizarre and weird behavior void of true human nature!

This is the real and significant purpose of state of emergency! Even though there is no clear dicotonomy to the area which state of emergency could be enacted and extended to in the constitution according to Section 305(3) of the Nigeria constitution it far better using this way than weaponizing it to frustrate opposition.

After Trump served them a chilling warning with an edge of a sword they don't have any option. It's either they accept the deal or the Trump will unbox brimstone and firestorm on them.

Hamas says ready to release all Israeli captives, discuss details of Trump plan
The Palestinian group says that, in order to end Israel’s war on Gaza and a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the enclave, it is ready to release all Israeli captives – both those who are living and dead – according to the exchange plan outlined in Trump’s proposal.

“In this context, the movement affirms its readiness to immediately enter into negotiations through the mediators to discuss the details of this agreement,” Hamas said in a statement shared on Telegram.

It also said it agrees to hand over the administration of Gaza to an independent body of Palestinian technocrats, “based on Palestinian national consensus and Arab and Islamic support”.

“Other issues mentioned in President Trump’s proposal regarding the future of the Gaza Strip and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people are connected to a unified national position and relevant international laws and resolutions,” Hamas said.

They “will be addressed through a comprehensive Palestinian national framework, in which Hamas will participate and contribute responsibly”. Source: ALJERZEERA

I appreciate Trump temerity and energy to call for peace and balance the of power.

Trump's impartial and unbiased 20 comprehensive plans to see Gaza prosperous again is the best move I have seen so far in every effort to have a lasting peace in this war for now. The deal to me favour the two parties!

With this eulogy, praises and premium glorification by the world on Trump from friends to enemies what do you think about this peace deal?

How Arab nations, rest of the world reacted to Trump’s Gaza peace plan

United States President Donald Trump has proposed a 20-point peace plan to end the war in Gaza after holding talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who welcomed the proposal.

The new proposal, which calls for the disarmament of Hamas, has been welcomed by the Palestinian Authority (PA), which governs in the occupied West Bank, along with some regional Arab countries.

HAMAS

Hamas says it is studying the US proposal “in good faith”, while the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group says the plan is a “recipe to blow up the region”.


PALESTINIAN
The PA said it welcomes the “sincere and tireless efforts to end the war on Gaza, and affirms its confidence in his [Trump’s] ability to find a path to peace”.

“It reiterates its shared commitment to working with the United States, regional countries, and partners to end the war on Gaza through a comprehensive agreement that guarantees the delivery of adequate humanitarian aid to Gaza, the release of hostages and prisoners,” it said in a statement published by the Palestinian Wafa news agency.

It also called for the “establishment of mechanisms that protect the Palestinian people, ensure respect for the ceasefire and security for both parties, prevent the annexation of land and the displacement of Palestinians, halt unilateral actions that violate international law, release Palestinian tax funds, lead to a full Israeli withdrawal, and unify Palestinian land and institutions in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.”


“It also ends the occupation and paves the way for a just peace based on the two-state solution, with an independent and sovereign State of Palestine living side by side with the State of Israel in security, peace, and good neighbourliness, in accordance with international law,” the statement added.

The PIJ, a Palestinian armed group fighting alongside Hamas, called Trump’s plan a “recipe for continued aggression against the Palestinian people. Through this, Israel is attempting – via the United States – to impose what it could not achieve through war.”



Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, UAE Joint Press Release.

The foreign ministers of the above countries released a joint statement welcoming Trump’s “sincere efforts to end the war in Gaza, and assert their confidence in his ability to find a path to peace”.

“Along these lines, the ministers welcome the announcement by President Trump regarding his proposal to end the war, rebuild Gaza, prevent the displacement of the Palestinian people and advance a comprehensive peace, as well as his announcement that he will not allow the annexation of the West Bank,” the statement added.

The statement went on to say that the countries are willing to work with the “United States to end the war in Gaza through a comprehensive deal that ensures unrestricted delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid to Gaza, no displacement of the Palestinians, the release of hostages, a security mechanism that guarantees the security of all sides, full Israeli withdrawal, rebuilds Gaza and creates a path for a just peace on the basis of the two state solution, under which Gaza is fully integrated with the West Bank in a Palestinian state in accordance with international law as key to achieving regional stability and security”.

TURKEY

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan has hailed Trump for his efforts to broker a ceasefire.

“I commend US President Donald Trump’s efforts and leadership aimed at halting the bloodshed in Gaza and achieving a ceasefire,” Erdogan said in a statement.

He added that Turkiye would continue to support the diplomatic process, and is committed to helping establish “a just and lasting peace acceptable to all parties”.

PAKISTAN

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif
Sharif posted on X that he welcomed the plan.

“I am also convinced that durable peace between the Palestinian people and Israel would be essential in bringing political stability and economic growth to the region,” he wrote.

“It is also my firm belief that President Trump is fully prepared to assist in whatever way necessary to make this extremely important and urgent understanding to become a reality.

“I laud President Trump’s leadership and the vital role played by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in bringing an end to this war.

He added: “I also strongly believe that the implementation of the two-state proposal is essential to ensure lasting peace in the region.”

ISREAL

Israeli opposition politician Benny Gantz
Gantz said on X: “I laud President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to secure a hostage deal and safeguard Israeli security. Now is the time for initiative.

“President Trump’s plan must be implemented, our hostages brought home, Israel’s operational freedom maintained, Hamas’ terror regime in Gaza replaced and moderate Arab States instated instead as I proposed a year and a half ago.

“We must not miss out on the opportunity to bring back the hostages, safeguard our security and catalyse a ‘Strategic Flip’ expanding the circles of regional normalisation,” he added.

Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich
Smotrich slammed the plan and referred to it as a “resounding diplomatic failure, a closing of eyes and turning our backs on all the lessons of October 7”.

“Given the reality that has emerged in the face of international pressure, the destructive hostage campaign, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s initial unwillingness to conquer Gaza and adopt Trump’s original plan, the military foot-dragging and lack of success in bringing the military leadership to where we want, the faltering coalition, and the natural exhaustion after two years of war – given all this, is there no choice, and is this the maximum that can be achieved right now,” Smotrich wrote on X.

“These are good questions. We will consult, consider, and decide, with God’s help. But the celebrations since yesterday are simply absurd,” he added.

INDIA

Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the deal in a post on X and said it “paves the way for peace, security, and sustainable long-term development” for Israel, Palestine and the region.

“We hope that all concerned parties will unite behind President Trump’s initiative and support this effort to end the conflict and establish peace,” Modi said.

CHINA

Foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said Beijing “supports all efforts” for a de-escalation in Gaza.

“China welcomes and supports all efforts conducive to easing tensions between Palestine and Israel,” Jiakun told a regular press briefing.

RUSSIA

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Moscow welcomes any efforts by Trump aimed at “ending this ongoing tragedy.”

“Of course, we want this plan to be implemented and for it to help bring events in the Middle East to a peaceful conclusion,” Peskov told the AFP news agency.

GERMANY

In a statement, Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul referred to the deal as a “unique opportunity to end the horrific war”.

“Finally, there is hope for Israelis and Palestinians that this war could soon be over. This opportunity must not be missed. Hamas must seize it. I urge all those who can influence Hamas to do so now,” Wadephul said.

FRANCE

“I expect Israel to engage resolutely on this basis. Hamas has no choice but to immediately release all hostages and follow this plan,” French President Emmanuel Macron said in a statement on X.

“These elements must pave the way for in-depth discussions with all relevant partners to build a lasting peace in the region, based on the two-state solution and on the principles endorsed by 142 UN member states, at the initiative of France and Saudi Arabia.”

UNITED KINGDOM

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: “We call on all sides to come together and to work with the US Administration to finalise this agreement and bring it into reality. Hamas should now agree to the plan and end the misery, by laying down their arms and releasing all remaining hostages.”

The controversial former prime minister, Tony Blair, called the plan “bold and intelligent”, adding that it “can end the war, bring immediate relief to Gaza, the chance of a brighter and better future for its people, whilst ensuring Israel’s absolute and enduring security and the release of all hostages”.

Blair was a past international envoy for the Middle East and was named by Trump as a member of his “board of peace” for Gaza.

ITALY

Italy welcomed the proposal in a statement, saying it “could mark a turning point, enabling a permanent cessation of hostilities, the immediate release of all hostages, and full and secure humanitarian access for the civilian population”.

Hamas, it added, “now has the opportunity to end it [the war] by releasing the hostages, agreeing to have no role in Gaza’s future, and fully disarming”.

SPAIN

Spain, one of the most vocal critics of Israeli genocide in Gaza, has also welcomed Trump’s peace proposal.

“We must put an end to so much suffering,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in a post on X.

“It is time for the violence to cease, for the immediate release of all the hostages to take place, and for humanitarian aid to be provided to the civilian population.

“The two-State solution, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security, is the only possible one.”

NETHERLANDS

Foreign Minister David van Weel welcomed Trump’s proposal and said it was “significant that Israel has accepted this plan.”

“This remains crucial for securing the release of the hostages, dramatically boosting the amount of humanitarian aid & achieving a lasting peace in the Middle East. We look forward to seeing further details of the plan. The Netherlands stays committed to ending the war in Gaza,” he wrote.

AUSTRALIAN

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese welcomed Trump’s proposal and said Australia had “consistently been part of international calls for a ceasefire”.

“Australia affirms the plan’s commitment to denying Hamas any role in the future governance of Gaza, and calls on Hamas to agree to the plan, lay down its arms and release all remaining hostages,” Albanese said in a statement.

AZERBAIJAN

In a post on X, the foreign ministry welcomed the plan and said that a “sustainable and just peace requires sincere commitment, mutual trust, and respect for international law”.

“The exchange of prisoners and hostages, and addressing humanitarian needs of the population, are vital to pave the way for long-term stabilisation and political settlement through building confidence and easing tensions.”

“Only through dialogue and goodwill a long-lasting settlement, with the two-state solution at its core, can be achieved,” it added.

KAZAKHSTAN

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s press secretary, Ruslan Zheldibay, cited him as saying that Astana viewed the plan as a “unique opportunity and a crucial step” toward resolving the situation in the region.

Zheldibay added that the plan could also strengthen interstate trust and establish a lasting and just peace in the re

NEW ZEALAND

EUROPEAN UNION
President Antonio Costa urged all parties to “seize this moment to give peace a genuine chance”, in a post on X welcoming the deal.

“The situation in Gaza is intolerable. Hostilities must end, and all hostages must be released immediately. The Israeli and Palestinian people deserve to live side by side, in peace and security, free from violence and terrorism,” he wrote.

“A two-state solution remains the only viable path to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East,” Costa added.

EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, also welcomed Trump’s plan and encouraged Israel and Palestine to “now seize this opportunity”.

“The EU stands ready to contribute. Hostilities should end with provision of immediate humanitarian relief to the population in Gaza and with all hostages released immediately,” von der Leyen added.

Netanyahu apologizes to Qatar for violating its territory with strike on Hamas chiefs
Premier's apology, delivered alongside Trump at White House after weeks of defending failed strike on terror chiefs in Doha, comes as he meets with US president on deal to end war

WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday apologized to his Qatari counterpart, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani, for the Israeli strike in Qatar on September 9, which targeted a meeting of the Hamas terror group’s political leadership.

Though the strike failed to kill the key Hamas leaders it was targeting, it did kill several lower-level members in the terror group, along with one Qatari guard. Following the attack, Qatar — which had until then played a key role in negotiations between Israel and Hamas amid the ongoing war in Gaza — refused to serve as a mediator.

The apology took place in a phone call made from the Oval Office that US President Donald Trump organized and was present for, during a meeting between him and Netanyahu. Shortly after the phone call, the White House released its plan for ending the war. Trump, at a press conference alongside Netanyahu, then said Israel and the Arab world had accepted the plan.

During the call, Netanyahu “expressed his deep regret that Israel’s missile strike against Hamas targets in Qatar unintentionally killed a Qatari serviceman,” an official White House readout said.

By signing up, you agree to the terms
The Israeli premier “further expressed regret that, in targeting Hamas leadership during hostage negotiations, Israel violated Qatari sovereignty and affirmed that Israel will not conduct such an attack again in the future,” it continued.

During the call, the Qatari premier “welcomed these assurances, emphasizing Qatar’s readiness to continue contributing meaningfully to regional security and stability,” the US readout said, noting that Netanyahu “expressed commitment to the same.”

Damage is seen after an Israeli strike targeted a compound that hosted Hamas’s political leadership in Doha, Qatar on September 10, 2025.

A Qatari statement, issued shortly thereafter, confirmed the call and said that Thani expressed Qatar’s refusal to tolerate violations of its sovereignty, while conveying Doha’s readiness to continue its involvement in efforts to end the war in the Gaza Strip under the framework of the US president’s initiative.

The readout issued by Netanyahu’s office said he told Al Thani that “Israel has no plan to violate your sovereignty again in the future, and I have made that commitment to the president.”

“I want to assure you that Israel was targeting Hamas, not Qataris,” the statement quoted Netanyahu saying.

Netanyahu told Al Thani that he knows “your leadership has grievances against Israel and Israel has grievances against Qatar, from support for the Muslim Brotherhood to how Israel is portrayed on Al Jazeera to support for anti Israel sentiment on collage campuses.”

He added that he welcomed Trump’s initiative of establishing a trilateral forum to address “outstanding grievances,” the Israeli readout said.

Netanyahu’s apology marked an about-face from previous, repeated insistence by the premier that Jerusalem was within its rights to strike the Hamas leaders, including in the Qatari capital,.

As recently as Sunday, speaking to Fox News, Netanyahu compared the strike in Doha to the US operation in Pakistan that killed Osama Bin Laden, adding that “any self-respecting country doesn’t give a pass to terrorists.”

Netanyahu and Qatar’s Thani discussed this effort during the phone call, the White House said. The Gulf state, which has long hosted Hamas’s political leaders, has close links to the terror group.

The US’s plan, as presented in a White House statement Monday with the Trump-Netanyahu meeting ongoing, would see all hostages, living and dead, returned within 72 hours of Israel’s public acceptance of the deal; it would also see Hamas disarmed, and Gaza demilitarized and put in the control of an “international transitional body,” with the aim of eventually handing it to a reformed Palestinian Authority.

This is a just deal that favours all parties it is left for Hamas to accept or decline the deal. But it should be unequivocally stated that this golden opportunity might not be given again!

29 Sep 2025

The White House has unveiled a 20-point proposal it says could bring an immediate halt to Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed more than 66,000 Palestinians and left the Palestinian enclave in ruins.

If the plan is accepted by both sides, the war is to end immediately, with all captives held in Gaza alive and dead returned within 72 hours, and Palestinian prisoners released. The Gaza Strip is to be temporarily governed by a Palestinian technocratic government, with no role for Hamas, and Israel will not annex Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted US President Donald Trump’s plan, but Hamas official Mahmoud Mardawi told Al Jazeera that the group has not yet received a written Gaza peace plan.

This the rump’s 20-point plan to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza, published in full:

1. Gaza will be a deradicalised terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours.
Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.

2. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed-upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.

3. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.

4. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life-sentence prisoners, plus 1,700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.

5 Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.

6. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.



7. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025, agreement.

8. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.

9. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energise Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesise the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.

10. A special economic zone will be established, with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.

11. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.

12. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarisation of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy-back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbours.

13. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbours or its people.

14. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalise Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.

15. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarisation that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the United States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF, according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority, until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.

16. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.

17. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasising the benefits that can be derived from peace.

18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasising the benefits that can be derived from peace.

19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognise as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.

20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

This is absolutely for the camera! There is no way EFCC will break the conundrum of corruption which has eaten deep into the layers of our society without it been an independent organization free from being remote control by the executive! It is not possible when the Executive arm use this organ of administration as a weapon to victimize only corrupt opposition party members or perceived political adversaries and you expect it to work! To make matters worst this said EFCC chairman dishing out this unapologetic and unpalatable fallacies without deep introspection and conscience has in public space right now the trending corrupt cases of Wike, Yahaya Bello and Ifeanyi Okowa and many more ambassadors of corruption in APC but has never dusted their files left alone making any objective moves to invite them to investigation and interrogation. But he is shamelessly lying without shame that his mission is to break the gene of corruption. Any mission builds on lies is exercise in futility and that is what the EFCC chairman is a mirage instead of reality.

I don't know that Augustus that condemn, rebuke and reprehensively spoke down on Yahoo boys but God will bless him. These boys are ritualists, traffickers, organ harvesters and nothing less than this. And anybody including VDM that is supporting Yahoo boys indirectly is complacence to the crime. Yes these boys are not humans but satanic.

Validated:
@Wike, Sowore was on his own corner challenging Tinubu on corruption and criminality. You, out of no where jumped in to buy the market. Whatever you see, enjoy it. No political adversaries are behind it. You brought this on yourself and your family. Mind you, more are coming. @Saharareporters do dig deep.

Bro by the time the dust is settled Wike will see himself left naked. I am very sure Sowore will drag this man like a rag. He will frustrate Wike like a bedbug and above all he will wash his dirty linen in the public that Wike will not be bought with a kobo. When iron sharpens iron it is then you will know that their is power in application of force. Always fear the person that has nothing to lose and that is Sowore!

Orlandoo:
He is even playing God who determines who becomes the president.

very correct bro! And it seems his end is near as God is trying to use Sowore to bring him down. Just like God used Moses against Pharaoh to set the captives free!

This is the beginning of your end. You attack and make scarthy remarks without fear of retribution. Wike you are a minister and a governor Wike you are in PDP and APC. Wike you are the only perfect man on earth. No mistake, no offender and no mentor Wow what a man! and currently Wike you are the President's spokesperson interesting! You talk carelessly and rudelessly, you make yourself a demigod and a mortal being that is untouchable. This man is an interloper at the same time a middlesome individual full of acrimony and bitterness who has made enemies all around. By the time Sowore is through with you, you will never have a saving grace.

Who else noticed the careless greetings made by David Babachir Lawal and Atiku over the clash of power on who to control the ADC leadership of Adamawa. Na wa ohh this politicians do not hide their rifts at all.

That is an honest speech in a good faith if the interlocutor can be trusted and be held accountable by his speech. Because we have where this remarks are only for the cameras the normal Uranium is 0.7% for energy which Iran has said they are enriching from 3-5% the one Iran has enriched and certified by Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is 60% just 30% below the average of making an atomic bomb. So where is the sincerity here the discrepancies from 3-5% to 60% is way too much and this is not only questionable but obvious truth that there is a hidden agenda with an ulterior motive to that magnanimous enrichment. So, it is not an enrichment of good faith. Conclusively, it will be wise not to start any enrichment again if not the B-1, B-2, B-52 and the underway B-21 bomber is on the way with lots more dreaded bunker busters.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has told the United Nations General Assembly that Tehran will “never seek to build a nuclear bomb”, as diplomatic efforts are under way to avert the so-called “snapback” sanctions on Tehran over the country’s nuclear programme.

The remarks on Wednesday came as a 30-day process launched by the United Kingdom, France and Germany to restore UN sanctions against Iran approaches its September 27 deadline.


The three European powers, known as the E3, accuse Tehran of failing to comply with a 2015 deal with world powers aimed at preventing it from developing nuclear arms.

The E3 have said they would delay reinstating sanctions for up to six months if Iran restores access for UN nuclear inspectors, addresses concerns about its enriched uranium stockpile and engages in talks with the United States.

“An agreement remains possible. Only a few hours are left. It’s up to Iran to respond to the legitimate issues we have raised,” French President Emmanuel Macron wrote on X after meeting Pezeshkian at the United Nations.

LordBiden:
Oga leave story,you promised to end the damn war within 24hrs of taking charge.
So what has changed,Mr art of the deal.

Very correct bro! Even going some inches long with some scarthy remarks on Biden and her allies only to come and be more confused than Biden. All this brouhaha is as a result of Putin not buying to his gimmicks of shadding the sword for him to have a bait to negotiate for his Noble laureate Prize.

The the dramatic end of the rapprochements and bromance between Trump and Putin that led to a surprise scathing remarks by Trump at the UNGA 80 is not only an unveiling box of surprise to Kremlin but a case of treachery by their spectra comrade. Even though, I do not take Trump to be a serious person owing to his controversial behavior this came to the world to fast and surprising after seeing Trump's flowering words to Putin all the time and the recent meeting in Alaska which was seeing as a step in a time to pacify Putin to end the war. We are watching and it is becoming more entertaining.
