Buhari signs Bill on Endangered Species (Photos)

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday signed the Bill on Endangered Species (Control of International Trade and Traffic) Amendment Act 2016 into law.

This was the last Bill signed by the President for 2016 making it the 17th Bill signed into law in the year.
The amendment bill was passed and forwarded to the President by the National Assembly for his assent.
According to the Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Ita Enang: “This is one of the 10 bills that were forwarded by the National Assembly to Mr President, and he has just assented to this, almost completing every action on all the bills that were forwarded to him by the National Assembly.

“The intent of this amendment is to bring the penalty provisions in line with economic realities and to act as a deterrent or deter people from trafficking and trading in endangered species because they are preserves of the country.
“It will discourage traffic and it will improve agriculture and the preservation of endangered species in Nigeria. This is an amendment bill.
“This law has been in existence, but what the National Assembly has done and the president has assented to today is to increase the penalty for violation of the provisions”, he stated.

Military's capture of Boko Harams enclave has vindicated me- Ali Modu Sheriff

Former Borno state governor and factional leader of PDP, Ali Modu Sheriff, has said that the recent capture of Boko Haram's strongest enclave in Sambisa forest known as Ground Zero, by the Military, has vindicated him. Sheriff has in the past been accused of creating the sect group which has now become an international terrorist group. Speaking at a function in Benue state yesterday, Sheriff said..

"The military have cleared Sambisa forest and I want to thank them. I'm the number one causality of Boko haram. I have lost very close relatives which included my cousins, my candidate and others were all killed by Boko haram. Those of us who are from Borno State knows what we have suffered in the hands of the sect. The irony of it all is that those who feared my political career turned around to say that I created Boko haram but God has vindicated me'" he said

How pastor Ashimolowo and his church members lost $4.8M to Ponzi scheme

An inquiry report published recently by the Charity Commission for England and Wales, has revealed that Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo and his 12,000-member church in Britain, Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) have lost the sum of $4.8 million to a Ponzi scheme.

According to the inquiry report, Ashimolowo and his church members thought they invested the equivalent of the amount in charitable funds only to discover the money was put in a Ponzi scheme run by an ex Premier League football player.

The report revealed that the church trustees doled out over $6.1 million (£5 million) in four installments between June 2009 and June 2010 to a former trustee who guaranteed that the investments would earn a sizable return totaling about 55 percent in a year.

“The inquiry established that in practice, however, the investments resulted in a net loss of £3.9 million to the charity,” the report explained.

The report states that the church’s trustees who handed over the funds were guilty of “mismanagement.”
The commission found that the church’s trustees did not “exercise sufficient care when making the decisions to invest £5 million of the charity’s funds through the ex-trustee’s investment scheme.”

“They did not follow all the principles expected of trustees to ensure they comply with their trustee duties under charity law when making those decisions,” the report concluded.

NAFDAC says there’s contaminated but not plastic rice in Nigeria

Authorities of the National Agency For Food and Drug Administration NAFDAC, yesterday addressed a joint press conference with officials of the Nigeria Customs Service NCS, where the final result on tests carried out on the "Plastic Rice" seized by some Customs officers in Lagos(read here), was released. According to the acting Director General of NAFDAC, Yetunde Oni, the bags of rice seized were not plastic rice but rice contaminated by microorganisms. Read the joint press statement released by NAFDAC below...

Following the report of the seizure of the "suspected fake rice", by men of Nigeria Customs Service, the Agency swung into action by sending team of inspectors to the office of the Customs Area Comptroller, Federal Operations Ikeja, Lagos to draw samples from the seized consignment for Laboratory analysis. The product, branded as “Best Tomato” was in 25kg pack size, without NAFDAC number, no batch number, no date markings and no details of the manufacturer. The preliminary result of the analysis was conveyed to the Honorable Minister for Health, Prof Isaac F. Adewole and was made public on 22nd December, 2016 whilst awaiting the comprehensive result. I hereby this day the 29th December 2016 present the full Laboratory report as follows:

1. Floating - Negative
2. Sedimentation - Positive
3. Cooking - Normal
4. Odour - Normal
5. Colour - Off-white grains
6. Moisture - 13% (within specification)
7. Pre-ashing - Normal
8. Ash - 0.6% (within specification)
9. Lead and Cadmium - Not detected
10. Aerobic mesophillic count - 2.8x105cfu (above maximum limits)
11. Mould - 5.1x103cfu- (within specification)
12. Coli form - 7.5x103cfu (above maximum limits)
13. E-coli - <3cfu (within specification)
14. Packaging - Does not conform to NAFDAC pre-
packaging Food labeling regulations 2005

Based on the above Laboratory result, the product is not plastic but rice contaminated with microorganisms above permissible limit, hence the seized rice consignment is UNSATISFACTORY and therefore unwholesome for human consumption. The consignment upon handover by the Nigeria Customs Service shall be destroyed.

I wish to thank the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service and his men for the timely interception of this unwholesome rice. NAFDAC in collaboration with Nigerian Customs Service will continue to intensify vigilance and surveillance activities at all entry ports and boarders.

May I use this medium to appeal to the General Public to report any suspicious case(s) about all NAFDAC regulated products to any of the NAFDAC offices across the Nation for prompt regulatory action. I appeal for continued support and cooperation of all Nigerian to team up with NAFDAC in our concerted effort to deliver on our mandate of safeguarding the health of the Nation.

Boko Haram leader Shekau resurfaces in new video, says group "safe and not flushed out of anywhere"

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau appeared in a new video on Thursday disputing a claim by the Nigerian army that the terrorist group had been uprooted from its Sambisa Forest stronghold. In a 25-minutes video shared online, Shekau who spoke in both Hausa and Arabic, said;

"We are safe. We have not been flushed out of anywhere. And tactics and strategies cannot reveal our location except if Allah wills by his decree. You should not be telling lies to the people. If you indeed crushed us, how can you see me like this? How many times have you killed us in your bogus death? Our aim is to establish an Islamic Caliphate and we have our own Caliphate, we are not part of Nigeria" Shekau said in the video, flanked by masked armed fighters.

It's not clear where and when the video was shot though Shekau claimed it was shot on Christmas day

Police foil plot to bomb Third Mainland Bridge, arrest suspect

The Nigerian police has arrested a man, Abiodun Amos aka Senti who is one of the leaders of a notorious militant group that operate in Ikorodu and Arepo areas of Lagos and Ogun states for was plotting, with some of his gang members who are currently at large, to bomb the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos.
According to a statement released by Police Public Relations Officer, Don Awunah, a deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, the gang leader, Abiodun Amos, said yesterday, that his group planned to bomb the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos in November because the Federal Government failed to consider its members for amnesty.

 The suspect, Senti, is a 43-year-old native of Arogbo, in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State. He was arrested by operatives of the Inspector General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team, IRT,

Amos said they were unable to carry out their plan because he got arrested on November 2, 2016, by the Inspector-General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team, led by Abba Kyari, an Assistant Commissioner of Police.

Amos was apprehended and arrested in a hideout at a river bank in Majidun area of Ikorodu, Lagos, on Monday, where two AK 47 rifles were recovered from him. Two cartons of explosives, with the words Gelatine Dynamite inscribed on them, and detonators, were also recovered from the group’s operational saloon car.
Amos said:

‘’General” Ossy (leader of the gang) said if we don’t blow up the Third Mainland Bridge, government will not listen to us. We had concluded plans to carry out the attack by November ending. 

‘’I am the group’s explosives expert and before I was arrested we were going into the creeks to conclude plans on how to carry out the attack.”

“We went into bank robberies and kidnapping because we wanted to get government’s attention and all we wanted was for them to grant us amnesty and also offer us pipeline protection contract. ‘’We have made several appeals but government is not listening to us.

He added that their  kidnapping business ended when it became difficult for its members due to the presence of the military and policemen.

”The principal suspect is an Ijaw man and a Native of Ese Odo LGA of Ondo State. He is an Explosives Expert who specializes in assembling and modifying large scale Improvised Explosives Devices (IED) for terrorist act.

The suspect also volunteered confessional statement to the Police and named other members of the militant group that are still at large.

One of the core suspects of the gang who was mentioned by Amos as the person in possession of their explosive devices and the detonators, was trailed by the Police (IRT) Operatives on the 26th December, 2016 while driving a Toyota Camry Car. The suspect had 2 Cartons of Galantine Dynamite Explosives and 125 Detonators in the boot of the Car in a location in Ikorodu, on his way to connect with the other members of the militant gang to blow up the 3rd mainland bridge. However, when the suspect saw the police, he quickly jumped out of the car and made his escape into a bush.

Fortunately, the huge disaster of blowing up the bridge was averted after the explosive devices and the detonators were recovered by the Police IRT operatives and the Explosive Ordinance Department.”

The leader of the militant group, known as “General” Ossy Ibori, has allegedly coordinated many bank robberies and several high-profile kidnappings, including the kidnap of three school girls at Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School in Ikorodu; kidnap of four landlords at Isheri North Area of Lagos; abduction of Oniba of Ibaland, Oba Goriola Oseni, among several others crimes.
He also boasted in an interview with Vanguard that his group had over 21 “generals” and had 7,800 battle-ready boys.

He added that the group is rich enough to fight the Federal Government, having acquired thousands of arms and ammunition similar to that of the military.

The police in s statement , said further investigation is being intensified to arrest all the other members of the militant gang still at large.

Don Awunah said:

“Yes, an individual was arrested. On sighting the policemen, the second suspect jumped out of his car and escaped into the bush, abandoning the operational vehicle. ‘’On searching the vehicle, two cartons of Gelatine dynamite explosives and hundreds of detonators were recovered in the boot of the car. Efforts to arrest the remaining gang members are in progress.”

We’re Ready For Dialogue, Militants Reply Buhari

NIGER Delta militants on Tuesday expressed their readiness to engage the Federal Government in dialogue to ensure that peace reigned in the oil-rich region.

The militants said the decision to embrace dialogue was reached after a meeting held on Tuesday under the auspices of the Coalition of Niger Delta Groups.

The militants, who made their position known in a statement via an electronic mail to The PUNCH, said they had no personal grudge against President Muhammadu Buhari and were ready to work together with his administration to make Nigeria better.

President Buhari had on Sunday called on the militants to come forward for dialogue over the Niger Delta crisis.

The leader of the Niger Delta Watchdogs, General John Duku; General Ekpo Ekpo of the Niger Delta Volunteers, Commander Henry Okon Etete of the Niger Delta Peoples Fighters and Commander Asukwo Henshaw, the spokesperson for the Bakassi Freedom Fighters who signed the statement, agreed to embrace peace.

“We wish to assure Mr. President that the Niger Delta militants and the people are 100 per cent ready for dialogue. We have no personal grudge against him and his government and we promise to work together to make Nigeria better,” the agitators said.

The militants commended President Buhari for calling on the Niger Delta militants to negotiate with the Federal Government.

They, however, condemned the call by the Senate for the resignation of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Dr. Babachir Lawal, saying such a call was not in the interest of the country.

Explaining that they had uncovered a plot by some politicians to sponsor militants to protest for the removal of Lawal, the militants warned that they would resist any attempt to sack the SGF.

“We strongly condemn the recent call for the resignation of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation by the Senate. The call on Mr. President to remove the SGF is uncalled for, unpatriotic and not in the interest of the nation.

“The allegation levelled against Mr. Lawal is baseless, without facts and the handiwork of saboteurs, who are planning to bring down and destroy this government by all means, knowing very well that the SGF is the engine room of this government, hard working, 100 per cent loyal to the President and a threat to some self-centred politicians.

“It is on record that the SGF has resigned his position as the Managing Director of the company (his accusers talked about) as soon as he was appointed as the SGF.

“He neither presided over nor acted on behalf of the company anymore. However, a Senate committee refused to invite the SGF for public hearing because they know what they were up to and must deliver based on the directive from their paymasters,” the statement read.

The agitators stated that they were aware of plans to move millions of naira into the Niger Delta to mobilise some youths and militants to protest against the SGF, using some powerful governors in the oil-rich region.

FG says it sacked 50,000 ghost workers,saved N200bn in 2016

The Federal Government on Tuesday said it discovered 50,000 ghost workers and in the process saved N200billion as N13 billion was taken off the payroll monthly from February to December this year.

This was disclosed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, when he spoke with State House correspondents at an interactive meeting to mark the end of the year, adding that 11 persons championing the syndicate of ghost workers have been handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for trial.

“The flagship program of the Muhammadu Buhari administration to rid the system of fraud and instil good governance is on course. Through a notable initiative, the Efficiency Unit of the Federal Ministry of Finance, the government has embarked on the continuous auditing of the salaries and wages of government departments.

“When the committee was constituted in February 2016, Federal government monthly salary bill was N151 billion excluding pensions. Now the monthly salary warrant is N138 billion, excluding pensions, which means that the government is making a monthly saving of about N13 billion. That is from February 2016 to date,” he said.

The Presidential spokesman added that “the pension bill was 15.5bn monthly as at February. Now it is down to N14.4 billion, which means average monthly saving is made of about N1.1 billion.”

Oyegun welcomes Mega party with open arms, says PDP gradually dying

Following talks of the emergence of a Mega party ahead 2019 general election, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has said his party will welcome the much talked about mega party to help it seat up.

Declaring that APC is in no way threatened by the emergence of a mega party, Oyegun said his party will even like the birth of a party that can “make us sit up and be on our toes in terms of the delivery of services to our people,” especially with the gradual collapse of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Oyegun who stated this in an interaction with newsmen in Benin City on Tuesday, meanwhile absolved former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and the National Leader of the APC, Senator Bola Tinubu of their supposed involvement in the formation of the new party.

He disclosed that he had met with some of the leaders of the APC like the leadership of the National Assembly, the former vice-president and “We are also waiting for the arrival of Tinubu so we can also meet with him and have meaningful discussions because he is a well-respected leader of this party.”

The APC National Chairman said, “We do not feel threatened at all, no mega party will survive the APC. I don’t know where the name mega party suddenly came from in the lexicon of politics in this country.

“When two people gather to have a meeting it is a ‘mega’ meeting. We don’t feel threatened, we will in fact encourage a mega party, because with the gradual collapse of PDP, we want a party that can make us sit up and be on our toes in terms of the delivery of services to our people.

“We need a party that will challenge us, that will make democracy real, offer the people a real choice. We are not threatened at all, we are focused on our mission made difficult by the current economic situation, which of course is compounded by the collapse of oil prices.

“Nonetheless, we are reforming this country, reforming it ethically, morally and economically by building a fresh economic base which will no longer depend on an extractive industry which does not involve the people.”

MTN bursts FG’s bubble, says we can’t pay more than N80bn of N330bn fine till 2020

The Federal Government’s hope of raking in N330 billion from MTN as fine may have been dashed as the GSM giant has said it can not pay more than N80 billion till 2020.

It could be recalled that the said penalty was for the company’s failure to register more than eight million lines of its subscribers in 2014.

The original fine was N500 billion, but the South African firm used it has reached out to convince government top functionaries to cut it down to the current charge.

However, it was gathered that a delegation of the company, who met with the Minister of Communications, Mr Adebayo Shittu, told him bad that business in 2016 had made it impossible to meet further payment.

In addition, the delegate raised the issue of other competitors, including Airtel, Etisalat and others whose default on similar act were not treated the same way with that of MTN’s.

“MTN does not have a choice, when the law was made, it said for every unregistered SIM card in use, the fine is N200, 000, the law never anticipated that one company will be in violation to the tune of millions of lines.

“It was inconceivable, so when the thing was added 200,000 times 5.2 million lines, it came to a trillion plus,” the Minister had told newsmen.

He said that even in the court system, if one was fined and could not pay for one reason or the other, the person would ask for reconsideration either by way of appeal or bringing a motion, adding that so far MTN is playing to the gallery.

Kiss Daniel robbed on stage in Calabar

Fast rising artist Kiss Daniel got a rough treatment when some bandits robbed him of some of his valuables while he was performing on stage at the Calabar Christmas Village.

Reports say the bandits, whose numbers could not be ascertained, stormed the Christmas Village at about 1am and began to shoot sporadically into the air casting fear into many while also dispossessing anyone in sight of their valuables.

According to an eyewitness, it was at that point when pandemonium struck that some of the robbers approached the artist on the stage and were able to dispossess Kiss Daniel of some of his items before the intervention of security operatives who took him away to safety.

But in his statement, Mr. Jimoh Ozi-Obeh the state Commissioner of Police denied Kiss Daniel was robbed stating that a sudden change of venue without security notice caused a misunderstanding among the organisers.

“There was no robbery incident in Calabar and nobody was attacked by robbers in any other part of Cross River State. What happened was that the government had initially planned to host the musician at the stadium, but the plan was changed to the Calabar Christmas Village. They probably had misunderstanding with the organisers. It was the change of venue that was not properly organised,” he said.

APC claims Fayose bribed Pastor Adeboye to get his commendation

The Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that Governor Ayodele Fayose may have bribed Pastor Enoch Adeboye to earn his endorsement and blessings.
The party which fumed at the comments by the RCCG General Overseer on Saturday, where Adeboye commended the Ekiti State governor’s courage and readiness to defend his people even at the risk of his life, described Fayose as a man capable of bribing even an angel of God to endorse the devil.
The widely respected cleric had during his visit in Ekiti as part of the church’s annual ‘Let’s Go A Fishing” programme said, “We thank God for your courage, for your boldness, we thank God for your being willing to take risks so that your people can be protected. You have been a governor who knows when to say enough is enough in defence of his people. And I’m sure you know what I’m talking about and I am sure the world knows. I don’t want to say more than that but be assured that we are praying for you and you will succeed in Jesus name.”
But Ekiti APC, apparently unhappy with the complement noted its displeasure in a statement it issued in Ado Ekiti on Sunday and signed by the party state Chairman, Jide Awe.
APC while alleging that Fayose could have bribed Adeboye with huge amount of money to get such endorsement added that “Fayose is a man that can bribe even angel of God to endorse the devil.”

The party then called on the RCCG General Overseer to avoid what will make Ekiti people rise against him, saying that for a clergy to “even chose this period of the birth of Jesus Christ to embark on praise singing of a character like Mr. Fayose is to say the least, preposterous.”
Awe called on members of the RCCG, particularly families of the founder, Josiah Akindayomi to caution Adeboye to avoid his destruction of the church with involvement in politics.
He said Adeboye needed be retold that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is a faithful member of the RCCG, adding that what was expected of him was support for members of his church, not praise singing of Mr. Fayose.
APC concluded in the statement that it was worried how a cleric of Adeboye’s status could praise Governor Fayose for his untiring insults and abuses on President Muhammadu Buhari.

Fleeing Boko Haram Leader arrested In Lagos...

A top member of Boko Haram sect was arrested on Saturday, in Ikorodu, Lagos. The suspect is one of the fleeing insurgents recently dislodged from Sambisa forest in Borno State.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai disclosed this on Sunday, December 25th, during the re-opening of Maiduguri-Gubio-Damasak and Maiduguri-Monguno-Baga, that were closed since 2014 at the height of the activities of the insurgents.

Buratai charged troops to pursue the fleeing Boko Haram terrorists and intercept them, adding that counter insurgency efforts would be sustained to prevent re-grouping of insurgents. "You must maintain the momentum of the operation. We must pursue the terrorists wherever they are. We must not allow them to regroup," the army chief said. He said in spite of the take over of the terrorists last strong hold in the Sambisa forest, they have no time to waste.

The Chief of Army Staff cautioned against extortion of ‎motorists who would ply the road. He also advised against inducement of soldiers, maintaining that troops are well taken care of by the Army command.

Buratai described the seven-year fight against the Boko Haram terrorists as “quite sober and touchy”, adding that a number of officers and soldiers had lost their lives in the war. He prayed for the repose of their souls and vowed that the army would recommit itself to the fight until remnants of the terrorists were cleared.

Tiwa Savage, Teebilz unite again

There is an indication that singer Tiwa Savage and her estranged husband, Tunji Balogun, may have decided to patch up the broken bits of their marriage and start again. The gossip mill is agog with a story that the couple has been making moves to reunite after a stormy breakup that generated so much noise in the mass media a couple of months ago.

Evidence that critics have been watching the celebrity couple closely emerged on Wednesday when a popular Nigerian blog reported that Tiwa and her husband had been attending a counselling clinic somewhere in Lagos. The report also insinuated that the couple were seen attending an event together on one occasion.

If this is true, it means that the celebrities must have made up their minds to push their differences aside and rekindle the spark in their relationship. This is by all means good news to many fans of the singer, who have privately wished for a development of this nature.

JAMB closes 2016 admission into federal, state varsities

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board has closed the 2016 admissions to all federal and state universities, its Registrar/Chief Executive, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, said on Thursday.

He, however, announced an extension of admissions to polytechnics, monotechnics, colleges of education and private universities.

He said, “All tertiary institutions and the general public are hereby informed that the 2016 admissions exercise into public universities closed on Wednesday November 30, 2016. However, the minister of education has approved an extension of two weeks (from December 1 to December 15, 2016) for all polytechnics, monotechnics, colleges of education and private universities. All institutions concerned are advised to promptly process their recommendations to JAMB within the approved period.”

As JAMB prepares for the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, Oloyede said,  all owners of computer-based test centres had been invited to apply online for accreditation.

He said, “The CBT centres are invited to attend a meeting on Tuesday December 13, 2016. To attend this meeting interested CBT centre owners are to register. The registration closes by 12.00pm on Monday December 12, 2016.”

Oloyede advised the public to disregard all websites and social media accounts posing as sales agents for 2017 UTME.

“JAMB has not commenced the sale of the 2017 UTME application forms and has not appointed and will not appoint any agent/or cybercafé as its agent. The public is advised to beware of fraudsters. JAMB advises all candidates to always visit its website on for registration and other necessary information. We call on all patriots to support JAMB in enhancing access to and equity in tertiary education in Nigeria,” he said.

BE DETERMINED!

There are infinite definitions for a successful life. Maybe you want to be the president, maybe you want be a great parent, or maybe you want to be successful and marry a stripper in a movie. All equally are noble choices.

But simply asking ourselves what we want is easy. Another far more powerful question that can be much harder to explore, but has the potential to bring you breathtaking clarity, is simply: What do I fear?

Success lies in the tension between fear and discovery. That tension will always be there, but so long as your desire to explore is greater than your desire to not screw up, you’re on the right track.

And finally, you came on track. Thereby doing all the ambitious things — travel, get rich, get famous, innovate, lead, fall in love, make and lose fortunes — but as you do, to the extent that you can, err in the direction of kindness. Do those things that incline you toward the big questions, and avoid the things that would reduce you and make you trivial.

That luminous part of you that exists beyond personality — your soul, if you will — is as bright and shining as any that has ever been. SO LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE AND QUENCH FEAR!

Rivers State Govt condemns Governor Ganduje's "If they shoot you, take cover and shoot them" comments

Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dr Austin Tam-George, has condemned the governor of Kano State, Alhaji Mohammed Ganduje, for inciting violence in Rivers State, during his speech at the APC campaign rally in Port Harcourt Thursday. Governor Ganduje had charged APC supporters to resort to violence during the rerun elections in Rivers State on Saturday, saying:

"If they shoot you, take cover and shoot them."

Dr Tam-George described the comments as "shameful and egregious invitation to violence by the Kano State governor "

The Commissioner called on the Inspector General of Police to immediately remove governor Ganduje from Rivers State, in order forestall the breakdown of law and order in the state. Continuing, Dr Tam-George blamed the Minister for Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi for importing thugs and Boko Haram fighters, disguised as APC supporters, to cause mayhem in Rivers State.

The Commissioner urged the people of Rivers State to resist any acts of electoral fraud by the police, INEC and APC before, during and after the elections on Saturday.
