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

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.

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.
