Former Senate President, David Mark and ex-president of National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, Comrade Dan Onyirofie Onjeh will lock political horns today, Saturday, in Benue South senatorial district rerun election.
While Mark is flying the flag of the former ruling party, PDP, Onjeh is representing the ruling APC. The election will take place in nine local governments that make up the zone: Ado, Agatu, Apa, Oju, Obi, Okpokwu, Ogbadibo, Ohimini.
-. Spokesman for the PDP during the 2015 Presidential Campaign, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has strongly condemned the decision of his party to appoint former Borno State governor, Ali Modu-Sheriff, as its chairman. The ex-aviation minister wondered whether those who made the decision had lost their ability to see reason properly and to exercise their discretion in a logical, responsible and lucid manner. He said instead of Sherrif, they should have settled for Boko Haram kingpin, Abubakar Shekau as the party chairman.
- Tragedy hit Otuoke, Bayelsa State on Friday after fishermen discovered the dead body of cousin to former President Goodluck Jonathan. Oki, who was abducted alongside Jonathan’s uncle, Chief Igenite was found dead and floating on top of a river in the community. Closed relations confirmed that the body was found floating on Otuoke river, two days after the abduction.
- The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has described a recent statement by opposition party, PDP, that power would change hand in 2019 as laughable. The APC said the PDP’s plans towards taking over the presidency in 2019 as a mirage as a mission impossible.
The party’s National Secretary, Mai Mala Buni, said Nigerians were seriously hoping that the said “masterplan” would include how the PDP and its cronies will return public funds stolen under the PDP’s watch for 16 years.
- The Deputy Governor of Delta State, Barrister Kingsley Burutu Otuoro, has debunked the report that he has been sheltering wanted former General Officer Commanding, GOC, Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo.
Otuoro said he was not aware of Tompolo’s whereabouts and that the allegation was figment of the imagination of his detractors.
-. Former spokesperson to President Goodluck Jonathan and a chieftain of the PDP, Doyin Okupe has described the appointment former governor of Borno State, Modu Sheriff, as the acting national chairman of the party as a dangerous move. He pointed out that with the emergence of Sheriff as the national chairman of the PDP, the opposition party risked total breakup.
- National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has declared that in 40 years time, some of Nigeria’s present youths can be governors.
According to him, Most youths don’t know Nigerian history and in 40 years, some of them could be governors. History should be restored to the school curriculu.
- Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has disclosed that the Lagos-Kano Rail project would create 250,000 employments for Nigerians when completed.
Amaechi while speaking during an inspection tour of the rail project on Friday in Kaduna said the project will be completed in two years time, adding that government would ensure that the rail service was affordable.
- The acting Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has stated willingness to sacrifice his life to wipe out corruption from Nigeria.
The fight, according to the EFCC boss cannot be won without Nigerians supporting the current anti-graft war as the battle has entered a delicate phase where the vice is fighting back.
- The Senate Committee on Youths and Sports, has demanded that the National Stadium in Lagos be privatised if the Ministry of Sports is not ready to reactivate its operations.
Chairman of the committee, Senator Obinna Ogba, who made this known when the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Chinyeaka Ohaa, appeared before it to defend their 2016 budget appropriation, said he was not happy with the state of the stadium.

ReplyDeleteOK so I was lost for a minute after reading the above anonymous about linda. So I went in search of the said 'apology' made by her. And what do I think about it ? Balderdash.
At the risk of sounding a "hater" or whatever y'all call it when people speak their minds on issues, esp when it has to do with Linda.. I must say that this lady needs a lot of tutoring. I pray and hope for her sake that she never goes down. I pray she stays atop, but with that attitude of hers? I don't think so
Underlying arrogance is what I read in her closing remarks. Why does she have to consistently hammer on ladies who she thinks survive with monies from their parents or boy friends? Is it any ones' fault that you were not born with a silver spoon in your mouth?
OK, those girls who open their legs for monies, of course I resent them too.. but must that always be your strongest point of argument to convince people when reaching out to those that u want to help? Does linda ikeji understand something called GRACE?? Has she heard about FAVOUR? Oh my.
Does she think that it was her 'hardwork" that put her where she is.. I mean... ONLY her hardwork? Nah. There are so many who work harder than her but cannot afford a meal.. it's becos they haven't found GRACE and FAVOUR yet.
Linda, I swear to God that your "wealth" did not arrive because you started blogging. You made it because God decided to make you feed like an elephant while u worked like an ant. Meaning, little work big money. It is simply GRACE and nothing more.
Are you richer than Uche of Bella naija? Are you richer than Seun of naira land? No u aren't. It is just that the aforementioned people have priorities, and as such, expend their wealth into places that matter most to them. And of course without publicity. Let me clear your doubt lady... you are not rich in the true sense of material things. Am I hating? No way. I'm telling you the fact.
let me annoy some people a little further by asking, are you sure you are richer than ME sisi eko?? Ah ah joker right? No I'm not joking. Let me drop a little hint..nah forget it, changed my mind. But anyway, I thank God that this is the Internet where no one knows me and won't say that I'm bragging. I'm happy I can tell the TRUTH here because I know linda but she doesn't know me. She has given the public an insight to what her wealth is, so.. I humbly say that linda is not richer than some of us. Grace found so many people before you linda, and that grace is quite sustaining if u don't push your luck.
I'm afraid that what linda thinks is her well of wealth may soon dry up if she keeps glorifying and giving credit to her "hustle' instead of God who decided to remove her from abject poverty. Do her parents read her gloats at all? Do they speak wisdom into her brain? Do they...?
Kai.. I want to say so much about this... I pray that God doesn't humble this girl soon. Her apology was nothing short of spiteful to those who beg for her bread. God forbid!! Look at how she was gloating, saying they should organize to meet her at one arena and she'll increase the monies she wants to give, just because they now understand how much she paid for a fake bag? In her mind she's pacifying her fans and redeeming her crushed arrogant image? Oh Linda Linda.. let me just stop before I begin to type nonsense.

ReplyDeleteGood morning blog family! Happy weekend all.
@ Sisi Eko, you're quite right. I've never seen where Linda gave credit to God. Not once. It's disheartening, I swear.
