Buhari's China Trip is to Plot Rigging of 2019 elections, Saraki’s Removal, alleges Timi Frank

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has faulted a trip to China on Friday by President Muhammadu Buhari and his party men under the guise of participating in the 7th Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC).

Frank in a statement in Abuja described the trip as a decoy to plot how to rig the 2019 general elections in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and also perfect the renewed plot to remove the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.

He insisted that the President has once again demonstrated his intolerance for members of the opposition political parties by only selecting APC Governors and other party cronies for the trip instead of availing competent businessmen and women of the opportunity to attend the FOCAC Summit irrespective of their party affiliations.

Recall that the Presidency had on Thursday released names of APC Governors, Senators and cabinet members who will be on the President’s entourage to include Governors Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar, Akinwunmi Ambode, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar and Rochas Anayo Okorocha of Bauchi, Lagos, Jigawa and Imo States respectively.

Others are Senators Abdullahi Adamu, George Akume, Godswill Akpabio and Aliyu Wamakko representing Nasarawa, Benue, Akwa Ibom and Sokoto States respectively.

Also accompanying the President are: the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama; Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi; Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola; Minister of FCT, Muhammad Bello; Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah; Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udoma Udo Udoma; Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu; Minister of State, Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, and Minister of State, Aviation, Hadi Sirika.

Others are the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno; the Director General, National Intelligence Agency, Ahmed Abubakar; and the Group Managing Director, NNPC, Maikanti Baru.

But while querying the entourage in a statement on Friday, Comrade Frank said the trip could not have been in the interest of Nigeria but that of the ruling APC on how to rig the 2019 general elections and perfect plans to effect change of leadership in the Senate.

Frank challenged the Presidency to tell Nigerians why only APC Governors, Senators, Ministers and others were selected for the trip if not "to perfect their plot evil against Nigeria's democracy?”

"Nigerians will recall that during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, no such trip was made without the presence of opposition Governors and Lawmakers. 

"Although, President Buhari too has traveled to foreign trips with opposition governors and Senators before now but the make up of the entourage for the current trip casts doubt on the true intent of selecting these points men of Buhari for the FOCAC Summit in China. 

"Our sources around the Presidency have also confirmed to us that the plot to perfect the plot to rig the 2019 elections and the removal of Bukola Saraki as Senate President is responsible for the exclusion of opposition elements from the current trip.

"In an official business trip to China where business opportunities abound, one will expect a tolerant government to travel along with foremost Nigerian businessmen and women and not party cronies or leaders of the APC’s cabal in the Senate like Senator Abdullahi Adamu and Senator Godswill Apabio who are anti-Saraki's leadership.

“The very composition of the entourage which include heads of elite security agencies, and top brass of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) - the money pot of the country - betrays the hidden agenda of the Presidency on this trip.”

Frank, however called on Nigerians, right groups and leaders of thought to speak up on how the current administration is using the country’s resources to fund private political meetings disguised as ‘official trip’ on how to subvert the rule of law, remove Saraki and undermine the nation’s democracy in a far away country.

Ike Ekweremadu, the deputy Senate President of Nigeria has said he could remain in the senate for the rest of his life if he so wishes, saying he's always in touch with his constituents, and could easily win elections.

UK Queen's counsel: "Nigeria cannot be trusted with looted funds"

The United Kingdom has given a statement on her position about returning looted funds.

 Phillip Hackett gave his reservations by saying Nigeria cannot be trusted with its money, he further discloses that’s what underpins it poor asset return rate and it has to be addressed.

Philip Hackett, a Queen’s Counsel, said this is the reservations of the UK, when it comes to returning looted funds to Nigeria.

Speaking on the theme: ‘Institutionalising the War against Corruption – New Approaches to Assets Tracing and Recovery’, at the Annual General Conference of the NBA in Abuja on Wednesday, Hackett said the issues with accounting for the funds also contributed to the UK’s hesitation on returning looted funds.

He said: “How much money has been recovered? Practically nothing. Nigeria has recovered so little.

“The UK’s position is that Nigeria cannot be trusted with its money. That’s what underpins it (poor asset return rate), and it has to be addressed.”


The session was chaired by Professor Bolaji Owasanoye, Executive Secretary, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), and featured the presence of Ibrahim Magu, the acting Chairman of the EFCC, who was represented by Chile Okoroma, EFCC’s Director of Legal and Prosecution Department

In his address, Magu lamented “poor record keeping system”, noting that it is difficult to estimate how much has been looted from the country.

He said: “It is difficult to estimate what Nigeria has lost because we have poor record keeping system.


“Lawyers have been involved in money laundering; laundering of proceeds of crime. When they were asked to register with the Special Control Unit against Money Laundering (SVUML) for regulation, they went to court. NBA said it could regulate itself. But how far has NBA gone in regulating itself? That is the issue.



“I think the NBA Disciplinary Committee should be up and doing. I get embarrassed when NBA descends heavily on lawyers who are not considered to be significant, but they turn a blind eye to what big-time counsels are doing.


“I think they have to do their work without looking at faces, no matter whose ox is gored. That is the only way that we can have confidence and respect for the disciplinary committee.”

Mixed reaction trailing over Donald Trump statement about Buhari

Recently the president of the United States  of America gave a brusque statement  concerning the health of Nigeria president after a meeting with him.

Considering the forth coming election in 2019, the statement poses a negative effects to the Presidential campaign for second term.

This statement which is consider rather derogatory  by Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has described America’s Donald Trump remarks on President Muhammadu Buhari as disrespectful.

President Donald Trump’s hate speech notwithstanding, the organisation said on Monday that President Muhammadu Buhari is fit and capable to run for the 2019 elections and oversee the affairs of the country for four more years.

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) made this assertion in response to the report by the Financial Times that the American President had made disrespectful comments imputing ill health on President Buhari.

The group’s Chairman, Mr. Niyi Akinsiju noted that this was not the first time the US President was heard to make such derogatory remarks at World leaders, and thus President Buhari would not be distracted by such.

“We are aware that President Trump’s disrespect for World Leaders is not new; his comments on Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, calling him ‘meek and mild’; his reference to Germany’s Leader, Angela Merkel’s actions as ‘insane’, or his outlandish Tweet at the UK’s Theresa May, and more recently, the alleged remarks he made after meeting President Buhari.”

“It is indeed not the first time President Trump would be heard to lower the standards of respect for his colleagues on the World Stage.

“We are not surprised, we know that this age-long character of the US President would not change anytime soon. But it is important that we put it on record that President Buhari remains fit and sprightly, even for the next decade.”

“We recall that during President Buhari’s visit to Trump in the White House, the US President commended the successes that the Buhari administration had recorded especially in the fight against insurgency and the war on corruption.

The US President was full of admiration for Nigeria’s President during the visit, thus such outlandish remarks as reported by the Financial Times are not just to be taken with a pinch of salt but are untrue in themselves.”

The group noted that President Buhari has continued to show fitness and capacity to run the country post-2019.

It went further to highlight that though the President’s 800 metre walk, where he acknowledged the cheers of members of his constituency, was not intended at showboating, it was an unscripted reference point that further proves a fit and lively President.

The group noted that President Buhari would not be distracted by this report, whether it was indeed said or in fact unsaid, but would in his character continue to remain focused on his mandate to deliver on his promises to the Nigerian people.

Ex CIA agent claims to be responsible for Bob Marley's death

It was a shocking revelation as a 79-year-old Bill Oxley, ex-agent of America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has confessed that he killed Bob Marley, the reggae legend.

Marley tragically died at the age 36-years-old, following a four-year battle with cancer.

The story of cancer may seem untrue as startling claims have emerged from a deathbed confession made by an ex-CIA officer, where he admitted to the killing.

According to a report by the Daily Star,Oxley is alleged to have claimed the murder of Marley among 17 other assassinations for the American government between 1974 and 1985, at a time when he said the CIA “was a law unto itself.”

Oxley, who reportedly worked as an operative for the CIA for 29 years, is alleged to have said he was often used as a hitman on targets deemed to “represent a threat to the interests of the United States.”

In a purported interview shared widely online, he admitted having no problem with proceeding with the Bob Marley assassination because

“I was a patriot, I believed in the CIA, and I didn’t question the motivation of the agency – I’ve always understood that sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.”

According to the conspiracy theory, Oxley used faked press credentials to gain access to Bob Marley at his Blue Mountain retreat; introducing himself as a famous photographer working for the New York Times, and gave Bob Marley a gift.

“I gave him a pair of Converse All Stars. Size 10. When he tried on the right shoe, he screamed out ‘OUUUCH.‘

“That was it. His life was over right there and then. The nail in the shoe was tainted with cancer viruses and bacteria. If it pierced his skin, which it did, it was goodnight nurse.”

“There had been a series of high-profile assassinations of counter-culture figures in the United States in the late sixties, early seventies. By the time Bob Marley’s time came around, we thought subtlety was the order of the day. No more bullets and splattered brains.”

Mr. Oxley says he kept close contact with Marley during the final years of his life, ensuring the medical advice he received in Paris, London and the United States “would hasten his demise rather than cure him.”

“The last time I saw Bob before he died he had removed the dreadlocks, and his weight was dropping like a stone,” he says.

“He was very withdrawn, unbelievably small. He was shrinking in front of us. The cancer had done it’s job.”

Although widely dismissed as fiction, the account does tally with findings by UK scientists in 2014, who discovered the mysterious acral melanomas – the rare type of skin cancer that caused reggae musician’s demise – was in fact not caused by the sun.

Bob Marley’s soon Ziggy has previously implied his Father was killed, saying in a 2013 interview about the death: “I don’t know what to believe … there are a lot of theories.”

"I'm proud of my players" coach Gernot Rohr

Despite the poor performance of the Nigerian team during the just concluded FIFA world cup hosted in Russia, Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr has declared support for his players who campaigned at the Russia 2018 World Cup for putting up what he called “a very encouraging performance.”

Speaking at the complex of the Nigeria Football Federation in Lagos yesterday, the German tactician said, “I am proud of my players who went to the World Cup. They only lacked experience. We had a very young team that was very good and did very well. They were the least ranked team but put up a good fighting spirit. “It is disheartening that we did not get past the group stage. The future is bright.” Rohr had some reservations for the Video Assistant Referee(VAR), which he said had different interpretations for different teams. “VAR recognised handball for France but refused to award us handball in a similar situation,” he said, adding quickly, “but I do not like talking about referees.” Another factor Rohr counted worked against the Super Eagles in Russia was lack of support. “Nigerian supporters were outnumbered and the general atmosphere was not good enough for concentration. It was an experience worthwhile.”

"My mom walked me down the aisle "Lady who avoid kneeling down for her husband during their wedding

It was yesterday a lady started an a trend on Twitter leading to an argument after she revealed that she and her husband decided that she will not kneel on her traditional marriage day

Now, she has revealed more and not everyone is happy.

The new bride who is by name Eniola, said the decision to kneel was reached by her and her husband. Her husband's family also didn't have a problem with it. She especially had the support of her sister-in-law not to kneel. But Twitter users, mostly men, took up the case and bashed her for not respecting the culture.
Eniola has now revealed that, not only did she not kneel at her trad, she was also not given away by her father during her church wedding, but by her mother.

One Twitter user wrote;
"Lol if you have a problem with kneeling on your traditional wedding , you should pretty much be outraged about the idea of your dad walking you down the aisle . Cos it has a much more “ misogynistic “ meaning."

And the new bride replied;
"My mom walked me down the aisle. ?? I know someone who walked herself down the aisle because she said she was giving herself to her partner.

Do our votes actually count?

Do our votes as electorate actually count, I keep pondering on this question seeing the recent trend of our politicians defecting from political parties to another with no regards for the electorate opinion, all for their selfish political interest.

These politicians who are at the helm of affairs have kept blind eyes to their failed campaign promises, neglecting the people who has elected them into various positions,looting public funds with the aim of impoverishing the masses.

They are considered Demi God because of their ill gotten wealth but they have failed to listen to the groaning of the people, all they do is to raise allegations and counter allegations against their political opponent in other to get  public sympathy.

I'm tired of this trend and I believe I am not just only speaking for myself but for the people who voted for these leaders in order to get good road but they don't, better healthcare, creating job employment, and their proper welfare and nothing has been done in that regard.

My advice is this, we as an individual once we get the slimest opportunity to vote we shouldn't consider the political parties nor centiment or tribe because that has been their antic that has deluded us in the time past.

When voting consider the track records of these candidates, get to know their profile, their integrity level and their leadership skills and experience , a good leader can come from anywhere. this will help to curb the rate of incompetent people in leadership structure.

Shocking as Victor Moses retires from international football

 
Super Eagles winger Victor Moses took to his instagram page to announce his retirement from international football.

Here are his words below;

  I would like to announce that after much thought I have made the decision to retire from playing international football.

I have experienced some of the best moments of my life wearing the Super Eagles shirt and have memories with me that will last a lifetime. Nothing will ever compete to what it felt like to represent Nigeria on behalf of our country.

However I feel that now is the right time to step away in order to be able to focus fully on club career and my young family as well as to allow the next generation of Super Eagles stars the opportunity to step up and to flourish. We are blessed as a nation to have so many exciting young players coming through and now is their time.

There are so many highlights that stand out for me over the years; from making my debut, to playing in two World Cups and being a part of the team to win the African Nations Cup for first time for our nation since 1994 being just a few of them.

I have already spoken to the manager by telephone and would like to say thank you to him and his staff, the NFF and all of my teammates for all of their support over the years. Most importantly I would like to say thank you to the Nigerian people for believing in me and supporting me over the years. It’s meant the world to me and my family and I will always be a proud Nigerian supporting the team.
Thank you for the memories and good luck to the team for the future ��https://www.instagram.com/p/BmgRVDFFxVv/?hl=en

Dangers of fixing eye lashes

 
Dr Ayopo Adeyemi, warned women against the use of artificial eyelashes, commonly used to enhance beauty, in view of its grievous consequences.

Adeyemi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the health implications of fixing false eyelashes included corneal abrasions or ulcers, damage of the natural eyelashes, eye sensitivity, amongst others.

She said fixing of artificial eyelashes had become an increasingly popular trend in the fashion world as most ladies, regardless of the health implications, seek perfection and glamour.

According to her, natural eyelashes had its natural way of preventing dirt, sweat, bacteria and other foreign materials from entering into the eye by trapping and keeping out anything that comes near.

Adeyemi, a practitioner at Mushin General Hospital, Lagos, said false eyelashes would accommodate the dirt, thereby causing different forms of allergy and infections.

“The use of harmful chemicals on the eyelashes can cause them to fall out quicker than they naturally would and it is also dangerous when tools to be used come in close proximity to the eye.“Artificial eyelashes can cause trauma to the eye either through the glue and other materials used or unprofessional operators; there could be introduction of microbes into the eye causing conjunctivitis of all types.

“The lashes themselves can cause allergic conjunctivitis trapping and retaining dirt around the eye,” she said.

Adeyemi advised ladies to minimise the rate at which they fix false eyelashes if they must retain healthy natural ones.

A seal to perfect friendship

 After a bad day, i walked into a bar to chill off and ordered for my regular and got something else instead, which was a "33" Export Lager Beer, so furious and I asked the barman while he got me a beer other than my regular, he said it was the only one available.

While reminiscing in my solitary state and sipping the ice cold "33"Export lager beer, someone move closely to me and was trying to get my attention, I reluctantly raised my head up and I saw this beautiful lady with her face looking like that of monalissa painting and her body akin to that of a Roman goddess .

She politely asked to sit closely to me and I answered no problem, she sat down and then began a conversation by saying she has been watching me while sitting from afar.

She spoke so calmly with such a dulcet voice that seems like that of a bird whispering and she said my facial expression and my body language tells that all is not well, if I would like to talk about it.

I couldn't not respond, my mouth was so dumb having to discuss my personal problem with a total stranger.

But she smooth talk me like a psychologist and later, I find my self in a deep conversation with her. moments after I got a soothing relief from the issues perturbing my mind.

After few hours of conversation she requested to go home, took my number and left.

I was still in shock when she left not having to take her phone number too. I waited for her calls all through the night.

When I got home with my cell phone placed closely to me on my bed, kept waiting for her call, for days run into weeks but it never came.

Exactly two weeks later, I got a call from a strange number, picked up and behold that dulcet voice from an unknown friend came up again.

I lost my phone and i only got to retrieve my SIM card today, thank God I did SIM backup, so I got your cell number back she said.

From that phone call, our relationship took a different dive and the end is that she is now the mother of my three kids.

From just sipping the "33" Eport Lager beer, I got a life partner and anytime I see those green bottles it reminds me of my first encounter with it, and has been my favorite green bottle after ward.

"33" Export Lager beer a seal to perfect friendship.

Five reasons why you should avoid bleaching your skin

1. Melanin is a complex polymer derived from the amino acid tyrosine and is responsible for determining skin and hair colour, depending on the concentration present. So the more melanin you have, the darker you will be.
Most skin-lightening treatments, which can reduce or block some amount of melanin production, are aimed at inhibiting it. Many treatments use a combination of topical lotions or gels containing melanin-inhibiting ingredients along with a sunscreen, and a prescription retinoid. There are a variety of chemicals used and they work in different ways but the most common ones as pointed out by Wikipedia.com fall into two classes those that inhibit melanin production and those that work in post-melanin synthesis.

2. KOJIC ACID is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice for use in the manufacturing of sake. Some research shows kojic acid to be effective for inhibiting melanin production, but it is an unstable ingredient in cosmetic formulations with Negative side effect: controversial research has suggested that kojic acid may have carcinogenic properties in large doses. Other further studies show that kojic acid is not carcinogenic, but can cause allergic contact dermatitis and skin irritation.

3. MERCURY- Many skin whiteners contain toxic mercury such as mercury (II) chloride or ammoniated mercury as the active ingredient. Negative side effect: Accumulates new skin and it can have the opposite results in the long term. Some studies suggest that long-term use could cause systemic absorption that leads to tissue accumulation of the substance. It was banned in Europe (1976) and in the USA (1990) for purpose of skin whitening.


4. TRETINOIN (also known as all-trans retinoic acid) is used mainly for skin discolorations. Negative side effect: Users of tretinoin have to avoid sunlight, as using tretinoin makes the skin more sensitive to UVA and UVB rays always and can have the opposite effect of darkening skin

5. HYDROQUINONE is a strong inhibitor of melanin production, meaning that it prevents dark skin from making the substance responsible for skin colour. Negative side effect: It has been banned in some countries (e.g. France) because of fears of a cancer risk. Hydroquinone has been shown to cause leukaemia in mice and other animals.
