I remember December 18, 1997, a friend of mine who I squatted with called me in the mor

Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu, has said that corrupt tendencies were more pronounced among males than females. “Looking at the number of people that have been apprehended by the commission, the number of men involved outnumber the women,” Magu said on Friday, in Abuja, The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that Magu made the statement when the executive committee of the National Council of Women Society (NCWS), paid him a courtesy visit.

Nigeria's Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, has described some politicians, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to All Progressives Congress, APC, as hungry peoples saying it was motivated business interest.

Among those present at the meeting, yesterday, were members of the National Executive Committee, NEC, of the party, former and serving governors, former and serving members of the National Assembly, among other senior party chieftains.

U.S. President Donald Trump will not be made an honorary citizen of the small German town from where his grandparents emigrated, the town’s mayor, Thomas Jaworek, said on Friday after a council meeting. Councillors in Kallstadt, the quaint village in Germany’s wine-making Rheinland region that was home to Mr. Trump’s grandparents, had been presented with a proposal to honour the newly inaugurated president. The town’s councillors did not address the Trump proposal directly at the meeting, but instead reaffirmed their position that the town does not hand out honorary citizenships. Germany’s own Republicans, a fringe party sharing the right-wing conservative values of their U.S. namesakes, lodged the request for honorary citizenship and even wanted to have a street or square named after him. “There is no faction that supports the proposal,’’ Mr. Jaworek said ahead of the meeting. The municipality of Freinsheim, which includes Kallstadt, also brushed aside a similar proposal, wit

He is not in any hospital and he is not ill. “When he was travelling last week, the statement we put out was that he was going on vacation and during the vacation, he would do routine medical check-up and nothing has changed from what we pushed out last week. “If anybody has fed something else into the rumour mill, that is just what it is — rumour.” Asked if Buhari would be willing to talk to Nigerians from the UK, Adesina said such a decision could only be taken by the President himself. “The fact

When former Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, died in June 1998, I was one of those who took to the streets to celebrate the nation’s liberation from his murderous grip. These days, I look back at that infamous Monday and wonder the point of rejoicing at someone’s death when none of us is beyond mortality. Abacha’s death, we know, resolved a conundrum and cleanly freed us from the bonds with which he held us. Also, given the timing of his death, it did in fact seem God heard Nigerians’ cries for liberation. However, death by natural causes is no punishment; it is one of life’s many realities. In the past few days, both the “fake news” and refutation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s “death” have seized the airwaves and “bus-stop parliaments.” Since the President’s announcement of his annual vacation and “medical trip” to the United Kingdom, folks eager to script Buhari’s obituary have been beating an elegiac gong. In the post-truth world, rumours and fact-free truths travel the wor

Indian Acting High Commissioner, Mr Kaiser Alam, has said that the trade volume between Nigeria and India dropped to $12 billion in 2016. Alam said this at a reception to mark the 68th Republic Day of India in Abuja on Thursday. The envoy explained that the trade volume dropped from $16 billion in 2015 to $12 billion in 2016 due to the fall in oil prices. “The decrease was because of the change in oil prices; we were importing the same amount but the oil prices came down. “Above all, our trade was the same and the trade surplus was in favour of Nigeria” he said. He said that 2016 marked a significant year in bilateral relations, adding that both countries sought to expand relations in all areas. “Our Vice President, Mr Hamid Ansari, came to Nigeria in September 2016 and cooperation in agriculture was discussed in great detail. “Nigeria’s Ministry of Agriculture will visit India in March and we hope the ministry will utilise the visit to discuss cooperation further and impleme

Dr. Ike Oye, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has called on Nigerians to pray for the safety of President Muhammadu Buhari.

As a sincere man, he told you he was going on leave and checkup. “If you see him at King’s hospital, is there anything wrong about that? What is wrong about being sick? “Buhari would have done better if Nigerians had wished him well. All these enemies fighting him left, right and centre, they are not fighting Buhari. They are fighting against the destiny of Nigeria. “If he dies tomorrow, it is his time, all of us will die. Is there anything strange about it? I will die someday. If President Buhari dies today, he dies for Nigeria because we gave him the trouble that killed him,” Oye said.
