A professor of International Relations at the Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies, University of Ilorin, Amadu Sesay, said on Friday that Britain’s decision to leave the European Union would have negative consequences on Nigeria.

Mr. Sesay said the immediate impact of the exit of Britain from the 28-member nation group would be the redefinition of the relationship between the new Britain and other countries, including Nigeria.

Mr. Sesay said the new Britain would want to look inwards and cut cost, especially from most of the assistance it was giving to developing countries.
He said that the UK under David Cameron had been supporting Nigeria, particularly in the fight against corruption and insurgency in the north east, adding that such support may no longer be in place as the ideology of the new Britain may be to use its resources to develop and take care of its people.

Describing Britain’s exit from EU as a self-inflicted injury, Mr. Sesay urged Nigeria and other African countries to explore the advantages it creates.
He said Nigeria and other countries may technically benefit from the exit of Britain from the EU by making use of some of the advantages, such as the devaluation of pound sterling against other international currencies.

“With the exit (of Britain from EU), the Pound Sterling has fallen against the U.S. Dollar, while Euro too has also fallen.

“For fear of the unknown, investors immediately began to move their investments thinking of relocation and that affected the value of the Pound and it began to fall.


“So, if the Pound Sterling is falling, it is good for Nigeria, particularly at this time that the Naira is struggling to find it true value in the interbank market under the new policy introduced recently by the Central Bank of Nigeria. It is a welcome development at that level,” he said.

He, however, called on the government and the financial institutions in Nigeria to begin to plan against any negative fallout from the exit, particularly the need for financial institutions to adopt survival strategies to benefit from the development.

“The federal government has to redefine its foreign policy and refocus its ability to be able to relate with the EU and the new British government,” he said.

A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) in Ekiti State, Hon Gboyega Akinola has warned President Muhammadu Buhari against repeating the errors he made as Military Head of State, regarding recovered assets.
He also frowned at the non disclosure of identities of the identified treasury looters, saying that it might give room for suspicion and cast doubt on the genuineness of the anti- graft war.

Speaking in Ado-Ekiti, the former PDP secretary in the state recalled how Buhari, as Military leader in 1983 put up a dogged fight against corruption and recovered millions of naira, only to allow his former lieutenant, General Ibrahim Babangida, who later snatched power from him, squander it.

Akinola, therefore, charged Buhari to act fast on the matter, alleging that there were many potential looters in the All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government.

The ex PDP scribe also alleged that the ongoing anti- graft war being championed by the APC led government was biased and extremely targeted at the opposition

According to him, the Federal Government had nothing to fear in doing this, since the identities of treasury looters had always been revealed in the past, arguing that their family members even worked freely, as nobody has private army or police to harass them.

“By not disclosing the identities of the looters, it appears the present government has something to hide. Buhari should realize that there are many potential treasury looters in this cabinet. If he don’t publish the names of looters against their loot, there is no way Nigerians can ascertain the actual assets recovered from these people.

“I am challenging the Federal Government on behalf Nigerians that it should let us know the names of the looters.

“For example, if one trillion naira is recovered from a particular looter and somebody is telling us that it is just N100billion, how would Nigerians know the truth?

Again, President Buhari must not repeat the mistake of 1983 about the recovered loot. If he does that, he would have himself to blame.

“I remember this was the same way he fought corruption as a military leader and jailed many politicians. Within a spate of two years or thereabouts, millions of Naira were recovered. And this was when naira had great value. He did not do anything with the loot until Babangida hijacked power from him and squandered it.”

The PDP chieftain suggested that half of the recovered assets should be shared among the 36 states on equal basis but with a caveat that such must be spent on the payment of outstanding salaries and on investment.

The Ikere-Ekiti born politician stressed that the measure must be taken in ernest to save the imminent collapse of the Presidential System of government.

“As we speak, more than 27, out of the 36 states of the Federation are indebted and many of them cannot even pay salaries of their workers.

“So, if we don’t really want the system to collapse, the half of the recovered assets should be shared among the 36 states on equal basis.

“Mr President must give the affected states the order that the monies should be used to pay outstanding salaries and investment in projects that would shore up their Internally Generated Revenue, (IGR).

“This, to me, is a long and short- term solution to the lingering economic problem. But the short term is for government to give them unconditional bailouts”‎, he further stated.

Who doesn't know this?

A group within the Peoples Democratic Party, Concerned Stakeholders, has advised Governor Ayodele Fayose to focus on finding solutions to the unpaid salaries in Ekiti State rather than criticise the policies of the Federal Government.

The group, while reacting to Fayose’s recent criticisms of the Federal Government, said the governor was only seeking political relevance.

It said that Fayose continued to comment on national issues while the self-inflicted crisis in his state needed attention.

The group, in a statement signed by Prof. Tayo Akinyemi, on Wednesday, said Fayose should be proactive in resolving the state’s inability to pay workers’ salaries.

It said, “Fayose should adopt result-oriented negotiation skills and resolve his internal governance issues before considering what President Buhari has done right or wrong. Ekiti is only one of 36 states. If all the 36 states have to monitor the President’s steps, there would be commotion in the country. The governor must concentrate on governance with best practices in his state.

“President Buhari, according to our investigations, was pressurised by international organisations and well-meaning groups to adopt dialogue in handling the militancy in the Niger Delta, as it is done in the developed countries.

“As a listening President, who is ready to try other democratic options, Buhari yielded to this piece of advice in line with international practice. Buhari’s decision, therefore, has nothing whatsoever to do with Fayose’s statement.

“Fayose has no relevance in national issues and will be best advised to look for another way to achieve his political aspirations.”

Where in my post did I insinuate that people were arrested?

I am telling you people were arrested and still in detention.

bejeiodus:
Saraki is obscenely rich. He is a poster boy for all that is wrong with governance in Nigeria. Your story is hard to believe due to lack of incontrovertible proof. It sounds more like a hearsay.

bro, a good use of the brain will settle this. You and I know what 12million is to the likes of Saraki na. Why would he arrest aides over something like this? its not worth it. He only released that statement so people won't see him as the thief the media has portrayed him to be.

Note: I am not a fan of any of these parties. I just want people to know the truth. Saraki has lied a big one. In fact, the aides in detention would have contributed some few millions till the 12million is complete if it was truly this amount that was stolen.

Neither Sahara Reporters Nor Saraki has said the truth about the value of the missing millions from Saraki's place. News that have been going round before now has it over 100million naira was stolen from Saraki's residence in ilorin.

I got to confirm this from a close relative to one of the arrested aides. In truth, at least a hundred million naira meant for gathering his followers in kwara for the purpose of playing the "usual" Ramadan politics was stolen by some unknown people suspected to be his aides.

I was flummoxed to hear that Saraki said it was just 12million naira that was stolen. The Billionaire Saraki we all know won't have to arrest any one for such a "meagre" amount. Yes, to him, 12million is nothing.

The fact that some of his close aides are in detention is a give away. So if anyone is close to the truth between Sahara Reporters & Saraki, it must be Sahara Reporters


Let's make our brains appreciate us by using it judiciously. Saraki's aides can contribute this "token" and be set free if it's truly that amount that's missing.

Op, sorry you are just too LAME. I thought you had something to write about! Mtsheeeeeeeeew

its actually a thread for those that know and appreciate good music..not fans of Terry G.

This letter is sincerely from me to him (Adekunle Gold).. As much as I hate to listen to Nigerian songs, this guy seems to be one of the few artists here I listen to, but there is this thing turning me off about him..Read in the tweets that follow.

"Dear Adekunle Gold, how are you this morning? Woke up with the thought of sending you this letter as an ardent fan this good morning"

"I have observed with utmost dismay that as melodious and sonorous as ya voice is, there is always this thing about ya songs"..."that awakens boredom in me and many other fans (I believe). I am yet to listen to a song from you that doesn't have a touch of "I never marry". This is the boring part of ya music. I keep asking myself what will happen when you get married"

"Will that mean the end of ya career? Cos you obviously won't have anything to sing about when God picks up ya call and sends you a wife"

"Pls prove me wrong by dishing out some different and lovely songs without reminding God and ya fans of ya marital status"

"And if I must be frank with you, na u never wan marry, if not, you for don get 5wives like my grandpa. Thank you as you heed to my advice"
