2023: NORTHAN GOVERNORS OPPOSE POWER SHIFT TO SOUTH

Northern States Governors’ Forum at an emergency meeting on Monday in Kaduna

Governors of the 19 states in the North have opposed the call by their southern counterparts that the Presidency should be zoned to the South in 2023, Channels Television reports.

This formed part of the resolutions reached on Monday when the governors held an emergency meeting with traditional rulers in the region at the Government House in Kaduna State, the report stated.

According to the report, Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, read out the communique containing the resolutions on behalf of his colleague which submits among others that zoning the office of the President as being agitated by southern governors is against the provisions of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, stating further that any president elected must meet the constitutional requirements which include scoring the majority votes, and polling at least 25 per cent of the votes cast in two-thirds of the 36 states of the Federation.

BIMPE – THE PROUD GIRL

Bimpe, a girl from an extremely poor home is been the hope of her family. She’s exceptionally brilliant, distinctively beautiful and quite proud, and she’s the only choice of the governor’s son for a wife. This spells a very bright future for her, as well as her family and friends. However, many including her mother have advised her severally to bury her pride to avoid undue difficulties and hazards of life. But she claims she’s not by nature ‘proud’, she says it’s just a way of packaging to win confidence and attention in the heart of everyone, her own way of fooling the world. Really, she’s been quite fortunate with such act over the years because she gets anything she desires from anyone without losing a thing, not even her virginity. But suddenly, she’s confirmed pregnant just as soon as the marriage rites between her and the governor’s son commences.

Now, this is not a true life story. But if you were to do a resolution for this story what would it be? Yes, rack your brain on it guys.

Hosting FFK at Aso Villa evidence of Buhari’s capacity to forgive -Femi Adesina

L-R: Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari and Femi Fani-Kayode, Fmr. Nigeria's Minister of Aviation

Special Adviser to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has explained why his principal hosted an unsparing critic of the regime and former minister Femi Fani-Kayode in Aso Villa following his defection to the ruling All Progress Congress, Punch Newspapers reports.

In the report, Adesina wrote:

Not a small ruckus has been caused by the defection of former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK), from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) last week.

An icing on the cake, or the salt added to injury (depending on which side you are), was his reception at the Presidential Villa by Muhammadu Buhari, father of the nation. The development has been rocking the polity for many days.

FFK is by no means a miscellaneous personality, and whatever he does, or does not do, attracts loads of attention.

NEF Director of Publicity and Advocacy, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed

The Northern Elders Forum on Wednesday said it regretted backing then candidate Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential election, instead of the then incumbent Goodluck Jonathan.

The position of the NEF was made known by its Director of Publicity and Advocacy, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed.

Ahmed, who spoke on a programme on Arise TV: “The Morning Show,” said Buhari had since succeeding Jonathan let down a majority of Nigerians who trusted in his leadership before the 2015 polls.

He said: “Is there any Nigerian who is not disappointed in President Buhari, including diehard APC (All Progressives Congress) people?

Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Tuesday accusing Mary L. Trump, The New York Times and three of its reporters of conspiring in an “insidious plot” to improperly obtain his confidential tax records and exploit their use in news articles and a book.

The lawsuit claims that the Times reporters, as part of an effort to obtain the tax records, relentlessly sought out Mary Trump, the former president’s niece, and persuaded her “to smuggle the records out of her attorney’s office” and turn them over to The Times.

That action, according to the lawsuit, breached a confidentiality agreement that was part of the settlement of litigation involving the will of the former president’s father, Fred C. Trump, who died in 1999.

International Week of the Deaf: How Nigerian Sign Language Interpreters help children dispel fear of Coronavirus

 SOLUTIONS JOURNALISM

Sign Language Champions

A major recurring problem in the integration and empowerment of the deaf in Nigeria is communication; ease of communication with their hearing families, seamless communication in schools.

In Nigeria, over 27 million people are estimated to live with various disabilities.

While physical disability tops the chart with 27.09% of this number according to a Shelby Treat Report (2016),  Deafness/Hearing Loss is the second largest form of disability in Nigeria with 23.76% an estimated 6.4 million people.

It is even more worrisome as studies show that 75 per cent of deaf children and young adults were not genetically born deaf but health complications, lack of good medical care, ignorance and poverty have often contributed to the challenge.

Businesses must accept e-naira payment - CBN

The Central Bank of Nigeria says the e-naira which is set to launch October 1, 2021, is a legal tender equal to the value of the naira and thus must be accepted as a form of payment by all merchants and business outlets.

Featured on Business Morning, a Channels Television programme, on Monday, Musa Jimoh, CBN’s Director of Payment System Management, said that eNaira which is Nigeria’s first digital currency is a legal tender just as the naira.

“Today, anywhere you present naira to pay, compulsorily it must be accepted because that is our fiat currency’, Jimoh said. “ So, the same way naira is accepted that you can’t reject it, is the same way e-naira must be accepted. Anywhere in this country where e-naira is presented, it must be accepted. So, merchants must accept e-naira as a means of payment.”

As a child, she wrote to a WWII vet. He carried the letter everywhere, and 12 years later, they finally met

Dashauna Priest, 21, with Frank Grasberger, 95. When Priest was in third grade, she wrote Grasberger a letter as part of a class project thanking veterans for their service. Grasberger sought to find Priest for 12 years, and finally met her in late July. (Vitalia Senior Residences at Strongsville)

Dashauna Priest still recalls sitting in her third-grade classroom 12 years ago in Lorain, Ohio, writing a heartfelt thank-you letter to a World War II veteran whom she did not know.

At the time, and in the years that followed, she had no idea that the recipient of her letter would carry the note with him everywhere he went, carefully folded in an envelope. “I’m never without it,” said Frank Grasberger, now 95.

Grasberger, who lives in Strongsville, Ohio, was drafted into the military when he was 18 and spent nearly three years in Germany. He received Priest’s letter, which was part of a class project, while he was on an Honor Flight home from D.C. in 2009. Ever since, the letter has either been folded neatly in his pocket or tucked away beneath the seat of his wheelchair. Wherever Grasberger goes, the letter goes.

PDP Governors Beg National Assembly To Rescue Nigeria's Democracy

The Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum has appealed to the National Assembly to rescue Nigeria’s democracy by passing necessary amendments to the Electoral Act, Punch reports.

Specifically, according to the report, the forum urged the lawmakers to rise above partisan politics to pass the amendment to allow for the electronic transfer of election results.

'When it comes to poverty, an already tragic situation has been worsened by the battering Africa’s fragile economies took from the coronavirus pandemic. One in three people are now unemployed in Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy. The same goes for South Africa, the most industrialised African nation. It is now estimated that the number of extremely poor people in sub-Saharan Africa has crossed the 500 million mark, half the population.

'One of the key reasons for coups in Africa is “sit-tightism” of political leaders. Many of the leaders have had to tinker with constitutional provisions in order to extend their stay in office. According to a May 17, 2021 African Centre for Strategic Studies report titled, “Circumvention of Term Limits Weakens Governance in Africa”, the think-tank posited that Africa has seen a reversal in term limit norms since 2015 as leaders of 13 countries had evaded or overseen the further weakening of term limit restrictions that had been in place. The countries are: Algeria, Burundi, Chad, Comoros, Côte d’Ivoire and Democratic Republic of the Congo. Others include, Egypt, Guinea, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Togo and Uganda.

'The report stated further that, “The lack of effective term limits has resulted in Africa having 10 leaders who have ruled for over 20 years and two family dynasties that have been in power for more than 50 years”. In Gabon, there is Bongo dynasty which has been on for 53 years; in Togo, the Eyadema dynasty has been on for 53 years; Equatorial Guinea’s president, Teodoro Obiang, has been in power for 41 years, while Cameroon’s Paul Biya has been in power for 38 years. King Mswati III of Eswatini and President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda have been in power for 34 years each. Before Idris Déby, 68, was assassinated by rebels on April 20, 2021, he was president of Chad for 30 years. Eriteria’s Isaias Afwerk has been in power for 27 years while Denis Sassou Nguesso of Republic of the Congo has been president for 23 years. Djibouti’s Ismail Omar Gwelleh has been leading his country for 21 years likewise King Mohammed VI of Morocco.  Paul Kagame on his part has led Rwanda for 20 years and still counting.

Founded by Eleanor Lambert, the Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Gala or the Costume Institute Benefit and also known as the Met Ball, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit.

According to a report by Vogue, the Met Gala is typically held on the first Monday in May, but this year, the event was postponed due to COVID-19 and fell right in the middle of fashion month—meaning the stakes for stellar style on the red carpet were especially high. Last night, September 13th, fashion’s biggest night was held at its usual location: the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The gala was in celebration of the Costume Institute’s newest exhibition, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” which opens to the public in the Anna Wintour Costume Center on September 18th.

Turtle tracker John Rucker and his six Boykin spaniels are on a mission to keep box turtles, North Carolina’s official state reptile, safe from threats to their natural habitat in the 1,000-acre Sherwood Forest neighborhood, the Guardian reports.

According to the report, a species in decline, the slow-living box turtle is vulnerable to everything we do as humans, and because they’re camouflaged and relatively secretive, they are hard to find, which makes studying their population and health inherently difficult.

But with the help of his dogs, 74-year-old Rucker is determined to keep his “kinship” with the turtles going, the report stated further

More than 60% of the VAT from Lagos is taken from Lagos and given to states like Kano and others - Omokri

FROM THE IG DESK OF RENO OMOKRI

Yesterday, Kano’s Hisbah seized and destroyed 5,760 Cartons of Beer. Yet, Kano gets the lion’s share from VAT on beer. This is hypocrisy! I am solidly with Wike on this. Nigeria’s current federalism is built on a foundation of injustice and that unjust foundation must be destroyed and replaced with an equitable one. And these are the very same people agitating against the Anti-Open Grazing Law that the Southern states want to pass. You reject alcohol, but want to impose killer herdsmen on us? More than 60% of the VAT from Lagos is taken from Lagos and given to states like Kano and others. Nigeria’s current federalism is a parasitic relationship. We must all insist on the rights of states to collect VAT as the court and law provides. The monkey can no longer work for the baboon to eat.

PRESIDENCY LISTS “JINXES” BROKEN BY BUHARI’S ADMINISTRATION

Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari

The Presidency has listed numerous jinxes broken by the Buhari administration in recent times.

Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina listed the jinxes in a special write-up on Sunday in Abuja.

 

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

JINXES BROKEN BY THE MUHAMMADU BUHARI ADMINISTRATION—PRESIDENCY

A giant-sized jinx was broken recently when the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) announced a first Net Profit in the 44-year history of the organization. Under President Muhammadu Buhari, who doubles as Minister for Petroleum Resources, the oil conglomerate announced a first-ever profit of N287 billion. Such had never happened before.

But that was by no means the only major jinx broken in the lifetime of the Buhari administration. They abound. And here are just some of them. The list is by no means exhaustive:

Policies and legislation:

*Petroleum Industry Bill signed into law in 2021, after almost two decades in the works. It is aimed at reforming a Petroleum Act dating back to 1969, as well as other supplementary laws and regulations.

*Deep Offshore and Inland Basin (Production Sharing Contracts) Act, 2019, amended for the first time since 1993.

*More than 6 billion dollars of inherited Cash Call Arrears now being cleared by the Buhari Administration, since 2016. More than 3 billion dollars of the arrears (payments due to International Oil Companies) have since been paid.

*The Buhari Administration has overseen the first successful Marginal Fields Bid Round in almost 20 years.

*The Buhari Administration has launched the first National Social Investment Programme in the country’s history. Today it is the largest Social Investment Programme in Africa and one of the largest in the world.

‘Shapeshifting’ now obvious in animals in response to climate change

According to research, animals are increasingly “shapeshifting” because of the climate crisis.

As such, warm-blooded animals are physiologically, getting larger beaks, legs and ears to adapt to a hotter climate and to better regulate their temperature.

With the differences becoming more pronounced as the climate warms, when animals overheat, birds use their beaks and mammals use their ears to disperse the warmth and some creatures in warmer climates have historically evolved to have larger beaks or ears to get rid of heat more easily, the Guardian reports.

According to the report, if animals fail to control their body temperature, they can overheat and die just as  beaks, which are not covered by feathers and therefore not insulated, are a site of significant heat exchange, as are ears, tails and legs in mammals if not covered by fur.

The review, published in the journal Trends in Ecology & Evolution, found that the differences are particularly pronounced in birds, according to the report, as the author of the study, Sara Ryding of Deakin University, a bird researcher, said: “Shapeshifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is fine.

“It just means they are evolving to survive it – but we’re not sure what the other ecological consequences of these changes are, or indeed that all species are capable of changing and surviving.”

While the scientists say it is difficult to pinpoint climate breakdown as the sole cause of the shapeshifting, it is what the instances studied have in common across geographical regions and across a diverse array of species like the Australian parrot that have shown a 4-10% increase in bill size since 1871, positively correlated with the summer temperature each year, the report stated further.

Miyetti Allah begs Buhari, NASS to stop implementation of anti-open grazing laws by states

Miyetti Allah

FULANI cattle breeders in the country have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Assembly to do anything possible to frustrate anti-open grazing laws being passed by some states across the country, describing the laws as satanic against their age-long tradition, Vanguard Newspaper reports.

According to the report, the cattle breeders operating under the aegis of Miyetti Allah Kauta Hore, expressed concerns over the actions of the states, particularly Southern states, insisting that they were counterproductive to their known economic business.

The group, at a press conference in Abuja, decried the ranching method of rearing cattle as captured in the anti-open grazing laws, noting that: “Ranching as envisage by many requires massive capital investment and difficult to sustain, not economical and is not small livestock holder centered”, the report stated further.

FG to recover millions of naira paid to 588 doctors

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige

Nigeria’s Federal Government will recover millions of naira wrongly paid to 588 medical doctors across the country.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, stated this while answering questions from State House correspondents in Abuja.

According to the minister, the affected doctors wrongly benefitted from Medical Residency Training Fund meant for a particular category of doctors.

He said the names of the doctors were uncovered after a thorough scrutinisation of the 8000 names submitted by Chief Medical Directors of Federal Government health institutions for the training programme.

While maintaining that the delay in making the refund by the affected doctors was holding back the Residency Fund payment by the government Ngige, however, revealed that a substantial amount of the money had been refunded by some of the affected doctors while efforts had been intensified to recover the remaining balance.
