House Of Reps May Arrest CBN Governor, Emefiele.

The House of Representatives ad hoc Committee investigating the alleged stolen 17 billion dollars oil and gas sales on Thursday, February 23 ordered Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele, to appear before it within one week. The money was allegedly stolen through undeclared crude oil and liquefied natural gas export. The committee threatened to issue a warrant of arrest on the governor if he failed to appear within the period. The Chairman of the Committee, Rep. Abdulrazak Namdas said the international oil companies allegedly involved in the deal had provided the committee documents required to commence the investigation. Namdas expressed concern that full investigation could not begin because of the failure of CBN to give the required details. He alleged that CBN provided conflicting responses to its inquiry on the matter and as such the governor must appear in person to clarify issues and provide necessary details needed to facilitate the probe. “We have sent two different letters to the CBN and the bank has provided two conflicting responses to our inquiry. “In response to the first letter, the apex bank pleaded for time due to the volume of documents required but in response to the second letter, CBN indicated that it has no record of undeclared crude,” Namdas said.

The chairman warned that the committee would invoke the law against any individual or government agency delaying the investigation. “We expected him to be here and he is not, we are disappointed. “We will not allow any agency of government to delay the committee’s work. “If in the next one week, the CBN Governor did not appear before this committee, we will not hesitate to exercise our powers in line with section 88 and 89 of the 1999 constitution.” According to Namdas, the required details from the CBN are vital as the investigation cannot commence without them. “Most of the international oil companies have furnished us with the information needed but CBN is very vital and key to this investigation and we cannot jump the gun,’’ he said. The assembly set up the committee in September 2016 to investigate 17 billion dollars allegedly stolen from undeclared crude oil and liquefied natural gas export between 2011 and 2014.

By Nkechi Onyedika-Ugoeze And Monica Ukayi, Abuja | 25 February 2017 | 4:20am

Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja Following the planed closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport from March 8, the Federal Government has concluded plans to provide a consolidated, coordinated and multi-agency emergency medical services of modern standards on the Abuja-Kaduna road corridor. To this end, six health centres have been identified for upgrade and full staffing to enable the facilities provide 24- hour services at every 30- kilometre of the road. Minister of State for Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, who disclosed this in Abuja, said the ministry has requested for funds to enable it provide the centres with medication, commodities, small generators and needed infrastructure upgrade, adding that the Minister of Finance has promised to make the funds available. Ehanire, however, did not disclose what it would cost government to provide the intended services, but added that the ministry started working on the programme about a year ago, before the announcement of the temporary closure of the airport. He stated that the planned closure of the airport only provided an impetus to facilitate the project aimed at putting in place an emergency response in Nigeria that is of international standards

Cleric tells Sanusi: Your proposal on polygamy will violate the Quran
Following plans of the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi to propose a law that will restrict poor men in the emirate from marrying many wives Aminu Daurawa, Kano state commandant of Hisbah, a religious police outfit says the position of God on marriage has been stated in the Quran and any means of regulation would be seen as an act of “infringement.” The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi has said he will propose a law that will restrict poor men in the emirate from marrying many wives The Cable reports that Daurawa said the criteria for marrying another wife as contained in the Quran should be strictly followed. Sanusi was reported to have said that: “Those of us in the North have all seen the economic consequences of men who are not capable of maintaining one wife, marrying four. They end up producing 20 children, not educating them, leaving them on the streets, and they end up as thugs and terrorists." “It is perhaps a tribute to Mallam Isa that today, as I speak, in the palace in Kano a sub-committee of scholars, which I set up and has been working for about a year, is finalizing the final sections of a family law we intend to introduce in Kano which will address some of the issues that Mallam Isa was concerned about." Daurawa however advised the monarch to focus on enlightening the people on the intricacies of polygamy. According to The Cable, Daurawa said in an interview with the BBC Hausa service on Friday, that the subject matter should be put in the curriculum of secondary school for young ones to know what is best for them. “Allah position on marriage is sacrosanct as stated in the Holy Quran and any infringement is nullity,” Daurawa said. “What needs to be done is not enactment of a law that would bar the poor from marrying more than one wife but rather enlightenment on the intricacies of polygamy. “There about 13 criteria to be followed before one qualifies to marry a second wife and this include been just and caring to the wife as been enshrined in the Holy Quran should be strictly followed.” However, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has commended the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi over his plan to propose a bill that will ban poor men from marrying many wives The group said the proposal is a good development and conforms to the pronouncement of the Holy Qu’ran...

The Italian has released a statement following his dismissal this week, less than 10 months after guiding the club to the Premier League title Claudio Ranieri has spoken for the first time since being sacked as Leicester City boss, claiming the club will forever hold a place in his heart. Rumours: Mancini to Leicester?

Ranieri initially remained quiet on his dismissal, though released a statement on Friday evening stating that his "dream had died", and thanked those that helped him achieve the impossible last season. “Yesterday my dream died,” the statement read. "After the euphoria of last season and being crowned Premier League Champions all I dreamt of was staying with Leicester City, the Club I love, for always. "Sadly this was not to be. "I wish to thank my wife Rosanna and all my family for their never ending support during my time at Leicester. "My thanks go to Paolo and Andrea who accompanied me on this wonderful journey. To Steve Kutner and Franco Granello for bringing me the opportunity to become a Champion.

"Mostly I have to thank Leicester City Football Club. The adventure was amazing and will live with me forever. "Thank you to all the journalists and the media who came with us and enjoyed reporting on the greatest story in football. PLAY "My heartfelt thanks to everybody at the Club, all the players, the staff, everybody who was there and was part of what we achieved. "But mostly to the supporters. You took me into your hearts from day one and loved me. I love you too. No one can ever take away what we together have achieved, and I hope you think about it and smile every day the way I always will.

"Claudio Ranieri."

ah... People dey vex o! Y kil an old man to solve our problem?

jumobi1:
Idk any serious Naija issue that can be fixed in a year bro. I think a lot of states aren't contributing according to their potential because of our political/governmental structure. If states were more on their own, they'll sit up.

u ar absolutely right bro.. Corruption hav woven itself in to d very fabric of every sector in Nigeria... Perhaps may be it wil b wise to say, we are all corrupt in diz country..

jumobi1:
True federalism would reduce federal powe and increase states power.. so yea. That. I guess I should have been more specific.

i succumb to ur opinion bro.. Buh it wont be easy to do in just a year

Make all of una help me beg barca.. Dey must qualify

firstking01:
This thread is funny.

maybe to u bro.. Buh to me... Na sweetcide notice...

jumobi1:
I prefer the word lead. I'll tackle the federalism issue. Will be tough since it depends on the NASS but otherwise electricity.

federalism? In what aspect? True federalism? Or try to reduce power of the federal.?

hoodmenconcept:
My brother, the corruption fighting have to be equal not inequality. And again it's s gradual process, it's very easy to destroy something but not easy to mend it back. If you don't tackle corruption first, no matter what you do to librate your people, it won't have any effect because if corruption. So let fight corruption first.

its true... Buh.. Remember its a 4years tenure? What if he used all his 4 years to tackle corruption sucesfully, and another corrupt president emerged again to send everytin he's done bak to d dust... Aren't we bak to square one? And 4 how long ar we goin to fight every individual with corruption?

nabiz:
I will fight against tribalism, to bring unity in Nigeria. I believe if Nigeria is United there will be nothing like impossible in our dictionary. If are we can fight our common political enemies

tribalism... Surely, that issue is among the Menace thats been disrupting the Unity of our dear country... May God help us

jamislaw:
Bros average Nigeria want all this corrupt politicians death.

true... Buh... How come corrupt Nigeria was better than the Non corrupt Nigeria Just asking though

psucc:
We don't just fold our arms and wish all things will get well.

Brother, you know much as I do that the policies of this govt are rather killing the system than salvaging it.

Politics is killing us. I did hope that any person elected as the President of Nigeria ceased to be a president of the party and those who voted him but for all. This way, he will get his priorities right.

For NO!!!

wel said bro.. Its obvious that the Cure's side effect is more dangerous than the Problem itself

Barca... Abeg no kil me o

psucc:
I do sir. You cannot break corruption with corrupted mind and hands.

All we need to fight the monster is to strengthen our institutions through robust policies and technology.

You don't ban the importation of some products, regulates banks' activities in the FX market only to sell dollars at ridiculously low rate to some unnamed people and high to the named ones.

well spoken...

jamislaw:
I will call a peaceful meeting with Nigeria top politians and all our formal president as well as high class corrupt business men and women then I will sorround the building with C4 and dynamite to do the needful.
After that I will tackle our electricity problem.

ah... Their deaths wil only bring u more enemies... They wil neva follow an homicidal presido... Or do u tink gaining the hearts of Nigerians is nt important to any Want-to-be-sucesful administration?

hoodmenconcept:
We only have one problem in Nigeria and What is the problem ?
"CORRUPTION"
If corruption can be eradicate then every sectors will work fine and perfect.
I am a financial economist and I know what im saying.

well said.. Buh isn't that the same corruption buhari hav been tackling since his inception as the Presido almost 2years ago... Buh he's nt been able to curb it totally..

Uwlcm bro
