Buhari Rejects Rams As Sallah Gift

A prominent Katsina state chief got a rude shock on Tuesday, September 22, when President Muhammadu Buhari reportedly rejected his trailer of rams sent as Sallah gift to Aso Rock.

According to Newsrescue, the president a native of Katsina was reported to have ordered that the trailer be turned back and returned to the sender.
It was gathered that the chief who sent the rams is known to be a long time friend of President Buhari.
This action also confirms the president’s statement during his inauguration, where he stated that he belonged to everybody and to nobody.
President Buhari has been described by The Washington Post as probably the least corrupt president in Africa.
Meanwhile the president has reportedly approved about N70m for the celebration of this year’s Independence Day commemoration on October 1.
President Buhari, who is said to be under pressure following the dwindling revenues of the country, could only approve the said amount for the Independence celebrations.

Independence: Buhari Approves 'Only' N70m For Celebration

Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly approved about N70million for the celebration of this year’s Independence Day commemoration on October 1.
The president, who is said to be under pressure following the dwindling revenues of the country, could only approve the said amount for the Independence celebrations.

Nigeria’s president Muhammadu Buhari, reluctantly approved N70 million for Independence Day celebration

This much was revealed by Babachir Lawal, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, OSGF, during a chat with journalists.

Vanguard reports that Buhari reluctantly approved the said amount after complaining that the money ought to be used for something else other than frivolities.
“This year’s celebration is, indeed low key because the present administration appreciates the economic hardship that Nigerians and the nation is confronted with today and he almost slashed it downward from N70m.
“To address the situation, government has adopted a general policy to be very prudent in the management of our financial resources, so this year’s celebration is, therefore, in consonance with the cost-saving policy direction of this administration,” the SGF explained.
Lawal further said: “four events have been approved by the president to manage the entire celebration process”.
“The events are: Jumat prayers, international thanksgiving service, ceremonial change of guards and a children’s party.

“Apart from these four events the president will also address the nation on Oct 1.
“To ensure a successful commemoration, four sub-committees have been constituted to handle the preparations for each of the four events.”
The Nigerian president, who is due for a visit to the United States next week, is also set to assist Burkina Faso on resolving their political crisis and host an Extraordinary Summit of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

Ex Militants Vow To Attack at Frontier Oil

Some ex-militants in Akwa Ibom state have threaten to interrupt the upcoming 28th Anniversary celebration of the creation of the state if the state governor, Udom Emmanuel continues to boggle their empowerment programme.

some ex-militants

The militants who are under the group Bakassi Freedom Fighters said the state government has abandoned them since they dropped arms and took the federal government amnesty threatened to vandalize pipelines at Frontier Oil Limited, FOL, and interrupt events at the Ibom International Airport and ExxonMobil.


Speaking through the spokesperson of the group, Commander Ebong Friday, said the state government has defaulted on the agreement reached with ex-militants in 2011.
“The Akwa-Ibom state government has neglected our members since we dropped our arms to embrace the Federal Government Amnesty Programme. We have waited this long to see whether the state government would see reasons to empower us to become independent so that we do not remember the past but government seems to have only deceived us.”
“So, the only way to remind the government of its promises to us is to disrupt activities in Akwa-Ibom Airport, ExxonMobil and vandalize pipelines at the FOL-Frontier Oil Limited.


“It is very unfortunate that the state government is taking us for granted, we dropped our arms at the course of the Presidential Amnesty Programme and embraced peace. “It was the Akwa-Ibom state government that pleaded with us to embrace the Amnesty Programme and we surrendered our arms with an agreement that they will train and integrate us in the society,” he said
Meanwhile, the Coordinator, Presidential Amnesty Programme, Brig.- Gen. P.T. Boroh has refuted allegations making round the social media and some news headlines that his office is owing arrears in payment to beneficiaries of the amnesty programme.

Kanye West Clears The Air & CONFIRMS That Tidal Is NOT Run By The Illuminati! Good To Know!

Well that's certainly a relief!!
Kanye West followed in his wife Kim Kardashian's footsteps when he recently graced the cover of PAPER magazine, but he also took it a step further by writing his very own cover story about The American Dream!
At least that's what we think it was supposed to be about…
In true Yeezy fashion, the story is filled with tons of tangents and stories about important things like getting high on nitrous gas at his dentist's office!
But the true gem comes when Ye goes on a rant on why he's sick and tired of all of the jokes about Tidal being run by the Illuminati! Yes, this is a real thing! Kanye writes:

"I heard a comment — a joke — about the Tidal press conference being an Illuminati moment. If there was actually an Illuminati, it would be more like the energy companies. Not celebrities that gave their life to music and who are pinpointed as decoys for people who really run the world. I'm tired of people pinpointing musicians as the Illuminati. That's ridiculous. We don't run anything; we're celebrities. We're the face of brands. We have to compromise what we say in lyrics so we don't lose money on a contract."

Wow! We had no idea this was such a pressing issue!
Especially when you consider Tidal has much BIGGER fishsticks to fry considering they JUST had to replace a CEO!
But hey, we guess this whole Illuminati theory is pretty important too!

You Are A Noise Maker – Army Chief, Buratai, Tells Boko Haram Leader

Nigeria’s chief of army staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai has dismissed as mere noise making the claims in a new audio by Abubakar Shekau, the elusive Boko Haram leader.
Buratai described the audio as `another desperate move by the group to find relevance.’
He said the group no longer has the capacity to hold any ground or plan co-ordinated attack on strategic locations or key public facilities.
“I think the new Boko Haram leader, in the latest audio is just trying to sound relevant; but as far as I am concerned, he is irrelevant in the scheme of things, he is irrelevant to me.
“ Have you seen any of them coming out apart from the suicide bombings? You can see the number of terrorists that are escaping from their camps; he is just making noise to remain relevant,’’ he said.
The Army Chief who also reacted to Sunday’s bomb blast in Maiduguri, urged residents of the area to remain calm as measures were being taken to forestall re-occurrence.
He said the bomb attack had provided clues of the remaining areas the insurgents were operating from in the state.
“Sunday’s bomb blast will be among those that will be the last, you can be counting them, it has opened up another window where we can now focus where these attacks are coming from.
“It will not be possible for them to penetrate other areas; for now we have knocked them off areas along from Yobe and some parts of Borno.
“Immediately this incident happened yesterday, I gave directive and we will comb that area thoroughly to identify where they are operating from,’’ he said.

RAPE SCANDAL: Rick Ross Clears The Air

Popular international music artist, Rick Ross who recently engaged his girlfriend is being sued by a woman, Jane Doe who claims she was sexually assaulted after being drugged in Rick Ross’ van.

Rick Ross

TMZ reports that, the alleged victim identified as Jane claims in the lawsuit that she was at W Hotel in Los Angeles, where she met with Rick and his entourage. Thereafter, she was invited to go to Cannabis Cup (a weed convention), with the group.
Jane disclosed that, while in the van guy named Thaddeus “Black” James, a DJ, 3 security guards and the driver and was offered some alcohol and shortly thereafter became dizzy and eventually passed out.
She says the next thing she knew, 2 hours had passed and she was in the van with Black, she went back to Black’s hotel room and passed out again. She says she woke up at 8am, examined herself and realized she was naked and had been sexually assaulted.
However, in an interview with TMZ, Rick Ross he clears air on the rape allegation.

He said “it has been brought to my attention that serious allegations have been made against an independent contractor, whose services I use often. And while I am not directly involved or implicated, as a man and a father, I take this very seriously. I don’t believe any woman’s safety should be compromised and she should never be forced to do anything outside of her will, regardless of the circumstances. While I personally have no knowledge of the specifics surrounding these allegations, it is my hope that this is rectified quickly and with sensitivity“. In addition, Jane disclosed that she believes Black is the one who raped her and not just suing Black but also Rick Ross because he was Rick Ross’ agent and he should have been supervising him, and it was Ross’ van.

Wizkid Postpones Release of 3rd Studio Album

One of Nigeria’s top artists that promised to release his third studio album in September has announced its postponement to next year, 2016.

Starboy CEO Wizkid has cancelled the September date of his album release, according to him, because he was inspired by 2Face Idibia’s all-star 40th birthday celebration at Eko Hotels and Suites last Sunday.

Wizkid cited the impact 2Face has made in the Nigerian music industry, noting that it would require more commitment to emulate it, hence the need to return to the drawing board.
The Ojuelegba hit singer posted a photo from the event’s red carpet, captioning it: “They never stop trying to bring me down, but God’s light forever shine! Celebrated the legend 2face Idibia1 last night! Epic! Made me realize how much I need to f**k the game up! So I’m moving my album to sometime next year! What a time to be alive.”
Wizkid’s album is one of the more anticipated ones this September, considering the array of international superstars expected to feature on it.
According to him, he plans to release instead an EP that would house ten songs and their videos.

PDP Insists Democracy Sliding Under Buhari; Tells APC To Address Issues

Opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it would not be deter from exposing the “deliberate agenda, already in motion, by the present administration to destroy the nation’s democracy and impose a dictatorship in the country.”

National publicity secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh and national publicity secretary of the APC, Lai Mohammed

PDP, on Saturday had accused President Muhammadu Buhari of crass abuse of power and warned Nigerians that the “nation is on a quick slide into fascism and official terrorism”.
But reacting to the PDP’s press statement, Lai Mohammed, the APC’s national publicity secretary, said: “Saturday’s press statement by the PDP is nothing but a thinly-veiled frontal assault on the relentless efforts of the Buhari’s administration to clean the Augean Stable of the last PDP federal government.
PDP, on Sunday, September 20, said despite blackmail and diversionary tactics by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its resorting to insults, threats and personal attacks on its leaders, instead of responding to issues of emerging fascism it raised on Saturday, September 19, 2015, “the APC and the Federal Government further confirm their intolerance, disdain for democracy and frenetic appetite for totalitarianism.”
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on Sunday said Nigerians await answers to issues and would not be hoodwinked by the antics of APC’s spokesperson, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, whose cleverness in using insults, personal attacks and wild allegations to divert attention is well known.

“While we understand the nervousness of Alhaji Lai Mohammed to remain relevant, especially in the face of desperation for an appointment, this administration must come to terms with the fact that democracy requires accountability, adherence to the rule of law and constitutional order, and not the crass infractions, executive arrogance, intolerance and undermining of the legislature; the symbol of the sovereignty of the people that we now witness under the APC,” Chief Olisa Metuh, PDP’s national publicity secretary said in a statement on Sunday, September 20, 2015.
The Party questioned the APC on some of the alleged excesses of President Muhammadu Buhari including “ruling without a constitutional component of a cabinet, persistent abuse of power, corrupting of democratic institutions, quest to appropriate the National Assembly, in spite of the principle of separation of powers; invasion of state government and personal houses, injecting confusion into the judiciary and hounding of individuals perceived to be against its interests.”
The statement further reads; “What is APC’s position regarding the anti-democratic statement by the President, who, in an interview, during the recent visit to France, expressed his reluctance to appoint ministers, in addition to his disparaging allusion to cabinet ministers as noise makers? Does this not smack of totalitarianism?
“How else can one explain the relentless interferences in the activities of the National Assembly, a separate and independent arm of government, in addition to the bitterness with which the Presidency and the APC hold the duly elected leadership of the Senate, simply because it is not occupied by their preferred candidates?
“If not for a possible ulterior motive of appropriating the federal legislature as a means to undermine its statutory role of checks and balances and set the stage for dictatorship, what other reasons could there be for the current fixation on the leadership of the Senate by the APC and the Presidency?
“Nigerians are still waiting for APC, a party which prides itself as a progressive platform, to respond to the widely condemned invasion of Akwa-Ibom state government house by the Department of State Services (DSS), under the direct instructions from the Presidency. Is it not part of the plot activated for possible forceful takeover of PDP states and impose a one-party regime in Nigeria?
“What about the July reprehensible invasion and sealing of Rivers local councils by the federal controlled Police, who also barred members of caretaker committees that were duly appointed by the state government to take charge of the councils?
“In the same vein, how else can one explain the undue interferences of the DSS in the activities of election tribunals in PDP controlled states of Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Abia, Taraba and others where electoral officers are being harassed, intimidated and detained, ostensibly to influence judgments against the PDP?
“This is not to talk about the intolerance and arrogance witnessed in the venom with which the APC attack well-meaning Nigerians, including highly revered national leaders, for daring to counsel the Federal Government on some observed undemocratic tendencies under their ‘new Sheriff’, a development which has resulted in the setting in of an environment where citizens, irrespective of political affiliations, can no longer freely express their views.

“Whilst we note the failed efforts of the APC spokesman to divert attention, we invite the Presidency and the APC to be informed that their attempt to harass and/or intimidate us with plethora of well instigated, sponsored, immature and wild allegations can never deter us from remaining focused on issues.
“Nevertheless, as we restate our commitment in providing issue-based opposition as well as our support for the fight against corruption, our final word for the APC spokesman on this, is that being ethically challenged, includes embezzling funds meant for fencing of an airport in an APC-led South West state. It also includes fraudulently refusing to supply ambulances after collecting monies from another APC South West state.”

United's New Boy, Martial Inspires Remarkable Soton Defeat

Newly-recruited Manchester United teenage sensation, Anthony Martial, inspired his team to a remarkable win at the St Mary’s stadium on Sunday evening.

Martial got a brace, Graziano Pelle got a brace too, but it was Juan Mata’s goal that ensured that the Red Devils return to the Old Trafford with the maximum points and puts them in second place on the log.

Here is Naij.com’s live update of the entertaining encounter.

Manchester United travel to the Saint Mary’s Stadium to face Southampton in one of the late Sunday matches in the English Premier League.

Louis Van Gaal and his wards will be seeking to consolidate on their 3-0 win against Liverpool, Ronald Koeman will try to stop the Red Devils from continuing their impressive start to the new season.

Wayne Rooney returns to the team and new signing, Martial, will also start in his first Premier League game for the Red Devils.

The Saints will also want to bounce back after their draw at West Brom last weekend.

Morgan Schneiderlin starts for United against his former club, and is likely to get a warm reception from the home fans.

This is a clash between two Dutch managers, and is sure to bring exciting football to fore this evening.

Meanwhile, United won here last season, while Southampton won at the Old Trafford.

Southampton Starting XI: Stekelenburg, Yoshida, Fonte (c), van Dijk, Targett, Wanyama, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Tadić, Mané, Pellè.

Subs: K. Davis (GK), Cédric, Long, S. Davis, Rodriguez, Martina, Juanmi

Manchester United Starting United XI: De Gea, Darmian, Smalling, Rojo, Blind, Carrick, Schneiderlin, Mata, Memphis, Rooney, Martial

United subs: Romero, McNair, Valencia, Herrera, Schweinsteiger, Young, Fellaini

FULL TIME at St Mary’s Graziano Pelle gets a brace, Anthony Martial gets a brace, but Mata’s goal separates both sides this evening.

90’+ 3 Wanyama tries to get another via a header, but it’s took weak. De Gea saves comfortably.

90’+2 Wanyama sends in a pile driver after beautifully sending United players rolling on the pitch and then… De Gea to the rescue again. WHAT A SAVE!

91′ Mane plays a long ball into the box and could only find Tadic, whose header goes wide off the post.

90’+ 1 Manchester United win a corner kick and they are slowing down its process. Five minutes of added time here… is there hope for the Saints?

88′ WANYAMA wins a freekick for his side and after an initial United clearance, Southampton’s Pelle could not connect for an equaliser

85′ And just while it seemed as if they were looking complacent, Graziano Pelle heads a fine Mane cross in for his and Southampton’s second GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAL on the evening. 2-3 at St Mary’s. There’s a bit of urgency in the home side’s performance now, can they get an equaliser?

84′ Southampton seem to have given up on getting two goals to cancel out the lead.

82′ Martial gets an applause from the home fans for helping injured van Dijk before beckoning on the referee to stop play. What a display of fair play by the teenage french player.

79′ Rooney plays a through pass to Depay, but the Dutchman is caught offside. Manchester United will move up to second if the scoreline remains like this.

77′ Another foul on Martial by Fonte attracts a yellow card, a second for the Saints in a row. Depay takes the resultant freekick and it goes just wide.

75′ Van Dijk is booked for a professional foul on Martial, denying him his hattrick.

70′ Wayne Rooney has gone over 15 hours without a goal for Manchester United, will he break his deadlock today? Soton trying not to concede more goals.

68′ SUBSTITUTION Marcos Rojo comes off for McNair as manager, Van Gaal tries to protect his two-goal lead

67′ Patiently, they stringed passes together, Rooney, Schweinsteiger and Memphis does well to shoot but his shot hits the woodwork. But… Mata hits the rebound and it’s a GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL! United are three goals up.

Juan Mata’s goal wins it for Manchester United at the St Mary’s Stadium

64′ Another poor back pass by a Soton defender, but the goalkeeper rushes out quickly to clear the ball.

63′ Rooney tries to work out a through ball for his teammates, but his effort amounts to nothing.

59′ SUBSTITUTION Bastian Schweinsteiger replaces Carrick in the middle of the park for Manchester United.

58′ Mane wins a corner kick for his side and they pour forward to try and get back. Corner kick taken and WHAT A SAVE by De Gea. That would have been the equaliser.
