Mr. Ibu Responds To Amber Rose's Meme

Nollywood actor John Okafor (Mr. Ibu) has responded to a meme about him posted by American celebrity and Kanye West’s ex-girlfriend, Amber Rose.

The American TV personality had earlier posted a meme of Mr. Ibu and another man which she captioned:“The sugar daddy I like Vs. The sugar daddy that likes me.”
Going by the placement of the pictures on the meme, it appeared as if Amber was dissing Mr. Ibu as he happened to be the “the sugar daddy that likes me.”

DPR Gives Out FREE Fuel To Motorists

A petrol station, Alkad and Sons Nigeria Limited, situated along Olorunsogo, Ilorin, Kwara state capital suffered heavy loss yesterday, November 23 as the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) gave out their fuel to motorists and motorcyclists free of charge.

Daily Trust reports that the surveillance team of the DPR caught the station hoarding a total of 2300 litres of petrol, following a tip off.

The station had allegedly told buyers that it had exhausted its stock but when the team led by Salvation Philip, the operation controller of DPR got there, they discovered the station had 2300 litres of fuel.

Another station, Nasmut Nigeria Limited, located in Otte, Asa local government area of the state was found hoarding a large volume of petrol also.

Philip ordered that the commodity be given to members of the public free, saying he was acting in accordance with the directive of Minister of State for Petroleum.

He said: “We are out for surveillance because of the situation on ground and we want to make sure that the fuel that comes in is distributed to commuters. When we got to this place (Alkad), we dug and discovered that they (management of the station) were hoarding 2300 litres of fuel. So, we are simply enforcing the ministerial directive. We are giving the fuel free to fellow Nigerians that need it. It is a critical time we have to utilize what is available. This is the second station so far we caught hoarding.”

Nigerian Army Arrest Officers For Sabotage

The Nigerian army has arrested and is investigating some officials for planning to soil the name of the force and the name of the chief of army staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai.

In what is considered an act of sabotage, the officers were accused of planning to use the social media as from December to publish lies and false stories capable of thwarting the on-going fight against Boko Haram.

This was contained in a statement released by Colonel Sani Usman who is the spokesperson of the army on Tuesday, November 24 titled: Alert On Impending Smear Campaign By Some Disgruntled Elements.

He said the army was committed to defeating the insurgency as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari and would therefore not tolerate any act of insubordination.

Read the statement below:

The Nigerian Army has received report of some elements both within the Nigerian Army and outside, especially through the use of the social media circle to ridicule the Nigerian Army and the person of the Chief of Army Staff for reasons best known to them. They intend to execute this plan as from next month, December 2015, using all means possible; lies, fabricating baseless stories, falsehood, publishing and broadcasting them through some designated print and electronic media, most especially the Social Media.

Edo 2015: APC and the prospects of continuity

With a little over a year to the end of the governorship of Comrade Oshiomhole in Edo State, there are overt and covert signs that the race to succeed him on November 12, 2016, has begun in earnest.

Political discourses and engagements have tended to be focused on that quintessential candidate who will fly the flag of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, among the motley crowd of emerging aspirants who have shown subtle interest in succeeding Oshiomhole next year.

A common line of thought among the contending camps in the jostle for the state’s governorship in 2016, is the desire to present the primus inter pares within the ranks of those who have expressed such interest. Aside the myriad projections that will aggregate those defining factors of good governance, prompt and equitable delivery of democracy dividends and acceptability across the various social, political, ethnic, professional, religious and other divides within the state, the right choice of the APC governorship candidate, who has no ethnic or any other primordial cleavages, will undoubtedly enhance the success index of the party in next year’s governorship election.

There is this conventional wisdom among the people of Edo State that the momentum of the extent, quality and spread of infrastructure development, human capital development, sustainable security of life and property, etc, by the Oshiomhole administration, should be maintained and even surpassed after November 12, 2016.

It is also the view of these people that only a core player with varied experience in the governance and power matrix and who has imbibed the pristine values of sustainable development with the will to impact it positively on the larger mass of Edo people, should be entrusted with the governorship of the state after the record-setting Oshiomhole administration.

Real Madrid President Speaks About Ronaldo Move

Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, during the press conference gave his full backing to under-fire coach Rafa Benitez and commented the rumours that the club are looking to sell Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo is being linked with a move to PSG and a return to the Premier League at the end of the season.

However, Perez said: “Those who say I want to sell Cristiano do so in an attempt to destabilise [my position]. It annoys me that journalists said I have been attending any lunch meetings to discuss Ronaldo’s sale. I have never dined with Paris Saint-Germain’s president or [Ronaldo’s agent] Jorge Mendes to sell Ronaldo. Those who think I would meet with the president of PSG on the same day as a crucial match to talk about selling Ronaldo are naive.”

We need to change the way we do things in Nigeria – Lai Mohammed

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has stressed the need for Nigerians to positively change their attitudes in order to achieve a paradigm shift in the way they do things, in line with the change mantra of the Buhari Administration.

The Minister made the call in his speech at the opening session of a meeting on the impending launch of a nationwide reorientation campaign by the ministry in Abuja on Tuesday.

”The impending campaign must take on the indiscipline, the lack of respect for time, loss of our time-tested values and generally lead to attitudinal change in such a way that there will be a paradigm shift in the way we do things. This is also in line with my vision as Minister of Information and Culture

”Make no mistake about it, we need to change the way we do things in Nigeria. It is important to let our people know that we cannot continue to do things the same way and expect a different result,” he said.

The Minister reiterated his earlier statement that the National Orientation Agency (NOA) will be in the forefront of the campaign, because it is in line with its mandate to positively change attitudes, values and behaviours.

He said those invited to the technical session have been painstakingly selected ”because I believe they have the necessary expertise to help drive the campaign”, adding, however, that everyone in the Ministry of Information and Culture as well as its parastatals is key to the campaign.

”This is because as the lead ministry, we must first buy into the campaign and own it before we can propagate it,” he Minister said

After Buhari’s victory at the presidential election, the wife of the president made a significant remark about her status saying that she will prefer to be called the wife of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria than the first lady of Nigeria.

However, the formal portrait of the president’s wife was issued several hours after the inauguration on May 29.
