SportsThe Truth About Oliseh’s Illness by zone20(op): 6:56am On Feb 01, 2016
THERE has been so much speculation and guess work on the na­ture of Coach Sunday Oliseh’s illness that there are even insinua­tions that it could be the “handiwork of his en­emies”

Since he assumed of­fice as coach of the Su­per Eagles, the former Super Eagles star has­dnot spent quality time with the team due to an ailment that had seen him going in and out of hospital

On Sunday we report­ed that the coach who led the Eagles to a disas­trous outing in Rwanda did not come back with the team because of what close associates termed “fear for his life”

Today, Daily Sun­Sports can exclusively report that if Coach Oliseh was a player, he would not have been signed by Nigeria for “chronic injury” prob­lems.

A very authoritative source told us yester­day that the NFF did not investigate properly before signing Oliseh as he is “not fit”

“During the World Cup in Brazil, Oliseh was part of the techni­cal study group, yet he did not write down one sentence because he was reported ill while he was in Brazil.

His colleagues virtu­ally helped him to write his report.

“At one stage he was vomiting so much that we thought he will die. It was okay for us to ask him to take time out to treat himself while cov­er up for him.
https://sunnewsonline.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Oliseh-702x336.jpg

“Am sure the NFF did not know he was not medically fit, if not they would not have gone for him, “our source insisted.

This exclusive rev­elation has put paid to insinuations by sympa­thizers who laid his ill­ness on the doorstep of “enemies” who want to eliminate him from the national team job.

With CHAN out of the way and the Na­tions Cup preliminar­ies in March, the NFF will need a fit Oliseh to take charge of the chal­lenging double header against Egypt.

CelebritiesHow ini Edo’s Net Worth Doubled Months After Divorcing Her Expensive Husband by zone20(op): 8:23pm On Jan 29, 2016
The celebration of love between Nollywood actress Iniobong Edo and her ex-hubby Philip Ehiagwina took Ona LGA of Akwa Ibom by storm in 2008 but six years after they signed the dotted lines, there was no fruit of the womb to show for the journey of half a dozen years- it put up some cold war between the couple.

They managed the crisis until Philip was also accused of infidelity by Ini Edo. The crossfire began when Philip was no longer comfortable with Ini Edo’s show of affluence.

After all, he knows how much Nollywood superstars earn plus the hyped honoraria from endorsement deals. It became messy and ended in divorce.

Since that divorce, Ini Edo’s net worth has soared with more wonder-on-wheels added to her garage.

Insiders alleged that the actress now spend her hard-earned money on no one but herself unlike before when she use to carry all the responsibilities of her US-based ex-hubby.

She also has more time to invest in profitable businesses like the multi million naira guest house she recently opened in Lekki Lagos.

Her net worth currently sits at N550 million.

PoliticsFG Directs Depots To Sell Kerosene At N73.37k Per Litre by zone20(op): 7:18am On Jan 28, 2016
NIGERIA may be headed for another round of Kerosene crisis as the Federal Gov­ernment has directed petro­leum depots to sell the Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK) at N73.37k per litre from the initial price of N40.90k per litre it had set earlier.

At the former price of N40.90k per litre, only Nige­rian National Petroleum Cor­poration (NNPC) outlets sold at the recommended price of N50 .00. while other fill­ing stations sold at between N120.00 and N150.00.

The Federal Government had pegged price of Kero­sene at N50 per litre, making the product to be scarce and prompting marketers to in­discriminately hike the retail price to between N80 to N100 per litre.

But the latest directive on the new price was contained in a memo to all petroleum products marketers in coun­try released by the PPPRA in Abuja.

The memo also circulated to petroleum depots at the weekend enjoined them to comply with the new ex- de­pot price of N73.37k per litre, although it does not give more details on the pump price.

Already the directive has elicited criticisms from the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), which said the price of kerosene should also be reduced as was the case with petrol because they are prod­ucts of the same crude oil, the price of which has crashed in the international market.

This development means that with an increase of more than 70 per cent, marketers would inevitably, also hike the retail price of the product after adding the associated charges.

It also shows that whether it is at NNPC outlets or at pri­vate filling stations, Nigerians would have to pay more for kerosene.

Reacting to the direc­tive, the Independent Petro­leum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), said the new price template for kero­sene announced at the week­end by the Petroleum Prod­ucts Pricing and Regulatory Authority (PPPRA) would go along way to alleviate the suffering of the Nigerian peo­ple who have paid so much for the product over the years.

The National President of the IPMAN, Elder Chinedu Okoronkwo, said, the new price was commendable and that marketers will comply immediately.

“We shall study the tem­plate and make our position known before the end of the week, but I must state here that government has reasoned that even when it was placed at N50 per litre end users ac­tually buy it at N120 to N130 per litre.

“What is our concern now if for government to redou­ble its efforts and ensure the product is made available to marketers.

PoliticsYahaya Bello Inauguration Kicks Off In Kogi Without Faleke by zone20(op): 12:38pm On Jan 27, 2016
Proceedings leading to the inauguration of the Governor-elect of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, has commenced at the Lokoja township stadium with his deputy, James Faleke, conspicuously absent.
Mr. Bello was picked by the All Progressives Congress to replace its late candidate, Abubakar Audu, who died before the conclusion of the election.
Mr. Faleke has approached the election tribunal in the state asking it to declare him governor elect. He is absent at today’s inauguration and the new governor might assume office without a deputy.
Mr. Faleke had that he was not consulted or taken into confidence by anyone regarding the choice of Mr. Bello as Mr. Audu’s replacement.
He was also quoted in various reports as expressing suspicion that the party was planning to announce his replacement on the grounds that he absconded from Wednesday’s inauguration.
Those attending Wednesday’s inauguration include the National Chairman of the APC, John Odigie-Oyegun as well as the governor of Nasarawa state and the Minister of Communication Technology, Adebayo Shittu.
The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki is being represented by Kabir Gaya.

The Senator representing Kogi East, Dino Melaye, who gave the welcome address said today’s inauguration is historic because “a minority is the governor of Kogi state”.
He pledged that Mr. Bello would not disappoint the people of the state and called on all aggrieved people to unite and cooperate with the new governor for the sake of Kogi state.

PoliticsObasanjo Writes Saraki, Dogara, Accuses National Assembly Of Corruption, Greed, by zone20(op): 11:59am On Jan 27, 2016
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has written the National Assembly accusing the lawmakers of corruption, impunity, greed and of repeatedly breaking the nation’s laws.

Below is Mr. Obasanjo’s letter:

January 13, 2016

Distinguished Senator Bukola Saraki,
President of the Senate,
Federal Republic of Nigeria,
Senate Chambers,
Abuja.
Honourable Yakubu Dogara,
Speaker, House of Representatives,
National Assembly Complex,
Abuja.
It is appropriate to begin this letter, which I am sending to all members of the Senate and the House of Representatives through both of you at this auspicious and critical time, with wishes of Happy New Year to you all.

On a few occasions in the past, both in and out of office as the President of Nigeria, I have agonised on certain issues within the arms of government at the national level and among the tiers of government as well. Not least, I have reflected and expressed, outspokenly at times, my views on the practice in the National Assembly which detracts from distinguishness and honourability because it is shrouded in opaqueness and absolute lack of transparency and could not be regarded as normal, good and decent practice in a democracy that is supposed to be exemplary. I am, of course, referring to the issue of budgets and finances of the National Assembly.

The present economic situation that the country has found itself in is the climax of the steady erosion of good financial and economic management which grew from bad to worse in the last six years or so. The executive and the legislative arms of government must accept and share responsibility in this regard. And if there will be a redress of the situation as early as possible, the two arms must also bear the responsibility proportionally. The two arms ran the affairs of the country unmindful of the rainy day. The rainy day is now here. It would not work that the two arms should stand side by side with one arm pulling and without the support of the other one for good and efficient management of the economy.

The purpose of election into the Legislative Assembly particularly at the national level is to give service to the nation and not for the personal service and interest of members at the expense of the nation which seemed to have been the mentality, psychology, mindset and practice within the National Assembly since the beginning of this present democratic dispensation. Where is patriotism? Where is commitment? Where is service?

The beginning of good governance which is the responsibility of all arms and all the tiers of government is openness and transparency. It does not matter what else we try to do, as long as one arm of government shrouds its financial administration and management in opaqueness and practices rife with corruption, only very little, if anything at all, can be achieved in putting Nigeria on the path of sustainable and enduring democratic system, development and progress. Governance without transparency will be a mockery of democracy.

Let us be more direct and specific so that action can be taken where it is urgently necessary. A situation where our national budget was predicated on $38 per barrel of oil with estimated 2 million barrels per day and before the budget was presented, the price of oil had gone down to $34 per barrel and now hovering around $30 and we have no assurance of producing 2 million barrels and if we can, we have no assurance of finding market for it, definitely calls for caution. If production and price projected in the budget stand, we would have to borrow almost one third of the 6 trillion naira budget. Now beginning with the reality of the budget, there is need for sober reflection and sacrifice with innovation at the level of executive and legislative arms of government. The soberness, the sacrifice and seriousness must be patient and apparent.

It must not be seen and said that those who, as leaders, call for sacrifice from the citizenry are living in obscene opulence. It will not only be insensitive but callously so. It would seem that it is becoming a culture that election into the legislative arm of government at the national level in particular is a licence for financial misconduct and that should not be. The National Assembly now has a unique opportunity of presenting a new image of itself. It will help to strengthen, deepen, widen and sustain our democracy.

By our Constitution, the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission is charged with the responsibility of fixing emoluments of the three arms of government: executive, legislature and judiciary. The Commission did its job but by different disingenuous ways and devices, the legislature had overturned the recommendation of the Commission and hiked up for themselves that which they are unwilling to spell out in detail, though they would want to defend it by force of arm if necessary. What is that?

Mr. President of the Senate and Hon. Speaker of the House, you know that your emolument which the Commission had recommended for you takes care of all your legitimate requirements: basic salary, car, housing, staff, constituency allowance. Although the constituency allowance is paid to all members of the National Assembly, many of them have no constituency offices which the allowance is partly meant to cater for. And yet other allowances and payments have been added by the National Assembly for the National Assembly members’ emoluments. Surely, strictly speaking, it is unconstitutional. There is no valid argument for this except to see it for what it is – law-breaking and impunity by lawmakers. The lawmakers can return to the path of honour, distinguishness, sensitivity and responsibility. The National Assembly should have the courage to publish its recurrent budgets for the years 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015. That is what transparency demands. With the number of legislators not changing, comparison can be made. Comparisons in emoluments can also be made with countries like Ghana, Kenya, Senegal and even Malaysia and Indonesia who are richer and more developed than we are.

The budget is a proposal and only an estimate of income and expenditure. Where income is inadequate, expenditure will not be made. While in government, I was threatened with impeachment by the members of the National Assembly for not releasing some money they had appropriated for themselves which were odious and for which there were no incomes to support. The recent issue of cars for legislators would fall into the same category. Whatever name it is disguised as, it is unnecessary and insensitive. A pool of a few cars for each Chamber will suffice for any Committee Chairman or members for any specific duty. The waste that has gone into cars, furniture, housing renovation in the past was mind-boggling and these were veritable sources of waste and corruption. That was why they were abolished. Bringing them back is inimical to the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians.

The way of proposing budget should be for the executive to discuss every detail of the budget, in preparation, with different Committees and sub-Committees of the National Assembly and the National Assembly to discuss its budget with the Ministry of Finance. Then, the budget should be brought together as consolidated budget and formally presented to the National Assembly, to be deliberated and debated upon and passed into law. It would then be implemented as revenues are available. Where budget proposals are extremely ambitious like the current budget and revenue sources are so uncertain, more borrowing may have to be embarked upon, almost up to 50% of the budget or the budget may be grossly unimplementable and unimplemented. Neither is a choice as both are bad. Management of the economy is one of the key responsibilities of the President as prescribed in the Constitution. He cannot do so if he does not have his hands on the budget. Management of the economy is shared responsibility where the Presidency has the lion share of the responsibility. But if the National Assembly becomes a cog in the wheel, the executive efforts will not yield much reward or progress. The two have to work synchronisingly together to provide the impetus and the conducive environment for the private sector to play its active vanguard role. Management of the budget is the first step to manage the economy. It will be interesting if the National Assembly will be honourable enough and begin the process of transparency, responsibility and realism by publishing its recurrent budgets for 2016 as it should normally be done.

Hopefully, the National Assembly will take a step back and do what is right not only in making its own budget transparent but in all matters of financial administration and management including audit of its accounts by external outside auditor from 1999 to date. This, if it is done, will bring a new dawn to democracy in Nigeria and a new and better image for the National Assembly and it will surely avoid the Presidency and the National Assembly going into face-off all the time on budgets and financial matters.

While I thank you for your patience and understanding, please accept, Dear Senate President and Honourable Speaker of the House, the assurances of my highest consideration.

OLUSEGUN OBASANJO

CelebritiesOlamide Reveals Shocking Reason Why He Refused To Sign Ola Dips Into YBNL. by zone20(op): 4:38pm On Jan 25, 2016
Ola Dips dropped back to back hit singles and was featured in so many tracks last year under Ob9ja management, It was glaring that he had caught the affection of so many Label Bosses, Including the YBNL Label boss.

As a matter of fact, a good questionnaire would have predicted Olamide signing Ola dips. The big question is what went wrong with nature?.

After weeks and months of silence the YBNL C.E.O, Olamide confirms his admiration for the young rapper, but insists he would love some competition, He further noted that He shares almost the same style with “Chinko Ekun“, with just a little difference, It would be hard
branding Ola dips as a YBNL Artiste because it would implicate that one of them changes style.

Quite reasonable from Olamide, He’s not only and artiste but also a business man that understands branding and the elements of marketing.

He further stresses that Ola dips can always stake a competition and keep other young rappers on their toes, If he’s signed to YBNL,
YBNL might enjoy a monotony and Ola dips might not be able to live up to his full potential because of lack of competition.

Above all The YBNL Boss wishes him well and hopes he enjoys a successful career at LRR/
