I understand some people are worried. “Don’t Yoruba Pastors come here? Don’t they come here to pray? Some of you worship at Yoruba churches and contribute your money there. Is that not so? “That is why they don’t want you to be free. We want you to be free; because if you are free, you won’t contribute money for them. “If you are free, how can they send their chi

The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) has explained why it has not announced the final results for Saturday’s local government elections held in the state. According to the LASIEC Chairman, Justice Ayotunde Phillips (rtd), the state electoral commission was yet to conclude the collation of results because the elections materials from one local government had not reached LASIEC headquarters due to poor weather conditions. She, however, noted that the commission did its best in conducting a free and fair election and would learn from its mistakes going forward. The LASIEC boss disclosed this on Channels Television ‘News At 10’ during an interview on Sunday night. Justice Philips said: “We are just waiting for the result from one local government. “You can never be 100% satisfied, I’ve heard complaints. The weather was not really in our favour and we had a bit of problem getting some of the materials to some of the areas and back but I think we did our best. “T

What is federalism? To use the simplest definition at my disposal, federalism is a political system in which powers are shared between two “equal” levels of government: namely national and sub-national governments. Nigeria and Brazil have a third tier — local or municipal government. These powers are fundamentally to make laws. The powers held by each tier of government are determined from country to country. That is it why it is impossible to find two countries practising federalism exactly the same way. Every country has its own peculiar formation, politics, evolution, experience, culture and circumstances. One major factor that accounts for the differences in the practice of federalism is the history of state formation. Some countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, voluntarily agreed to form a federation. They pre-defined the terms of their engagement before consummating their political matrimony. Many others, such as Nigeria, are colonial creations. It is a case of “arrange

  A center for transparency advocacy, the Independent Service Delivery  Monitoring Group (ISDMG) has sounded a note of caution to those who are trying to drag Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmoud Yakub into the fate of the recall process initiated against Senator Dino Melaye.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday, disclosed that the Federal Government offered him Biafra Republic while in Prison with only the five South East States as the component parts but he rejected it. According to him, he rejected it because that did not constitute the complete Biafra, saying that he told them that he wanted a Biafra with Rivers and Benue States inclusive. The IPOB leader also claimed that he was offered an oil block and mansion in Dubai aimed at making him to abandon the cause but that he rejected them and insisted on the actualization of Biafra. Kanu said those things were Greek gifts to buy him over and maintained that he has no price other than to actualize the restoration of Biafra Republic and liberate the Igbo. “They gave me Biafra in prison with only the five Igbo states; I said no, I want Benue and Rivers”, Kanu said, pointing out that “Biafra is coming, there is nothing to stop it”.

Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, has done a turnaround on his statement that there will be no more shooting of movies/music videos outside Nigeria.  During a visit to the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) on Saturday, the minister was quoted by NAN as saying, “government has agreed that henceforth, whatever we consume in Nigeria in terms of music and films, must be made in Nigeria”. But speaking on the matter on Tuesday at the Creative Industry Financing Conference, Mohammed denied making such claims. “At that meeting, I said that I will work to amend the NBC code to ensure that if a product is designated a Nigerian product; it must be produced in Nigeria,” he said. “I didn’t say that henceforth, all music and films will be produced in Nigeria. “All I said was that if a programme is designated as a Nigerian content programme, we will amend the code to ensure that it is produced in Nigeria.” The minister, however, maintained that the government is working

There is time to laugh. There is time to cry but most of the time, I love dancing and I take it as an exercise. “My kids got it (dancing) from me, Sina Rambo and B-Red and of course my nephew, Davido. I train them and as a matter of fact, they will tell me that Dad, we can’t catch up with you.

Three men –Edward Gitau, Nicholas Mwangi and Meshak Mwangi — have been sentenced to death for stripping and sexually assaulting a woman they believed was dressed too provocatively. The incident happened in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. The three men, however, had their death sentences commuted to life imprisonments because Kenya’s ban on carrying out executions means the trio will spend the rest of their lives in jail.  The female victim was attacked at a petrol station on the outskirts of Nairobi in 2014, during which she was stripped, sexually assaulted and her phone and cash stolen by a violent mob, ostensibly because she was wearing a mini skirt which her attackers deemed ‘provocative.’ The incident was captured on camera and widely circulated on social media. See video below The verdict capped a case that prompted hundreds of people to march through the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, in short, fitted clothing in 2014, calling for an end to violence against women after a

The Taleveras Group says all its business transactions and investments in the oil sector have been in compliance with international trading standards. The group has been trading and engaging in third party contracts, inclusive of oil and gas upstream operations, in the last 17 years. Commenting on Wednesday the case by the US department of justice, Taleveras said neither it nor its associated companies lifted any oil from the Atlantic Drilling Fluids. In a statement signed by its legal counsel, Alex School,  the company — which just won oil blocks in Equatorial Guinea — said the legal case against Atlantic Drilling Fluids has nothing to do with Taleveras or its chairman, Igho Sanomi (pictured). The company said online reports were not only misleading but “grossly inaccurate”. The statement said: “The attention of Taleveras legal team has been drawn to online publications related with a case against Atlantic Drilling Fluids. This legal case is not against Taleveras or Igho Sano

Leukaemia is a cancer of the white blood cells which attacks part of the immune system . It is a malignant progressive disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs produce abnormal leucocytes, preventing the production of normal blood cells. The onset of leukaemia can be acute or chronic. In acute leukemia, cancer cells multiply quickly. In chronic leukemia, the disease progresses slowly and early symptoms may be very mild. Causes The exact cause of leukemia is unknown, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Symptoms Common symptoms of chronic or acute leukemia may include pain in the bones or joints, swollen lymph nodes that usually don’t hurt, f

Sexual intercourse, or coitus or copulation, is principally the insertion and thrusting of the penis, usually when erect, into the vagina for sexual pleasure, reproduction, or both While you may have engaged in sex for a duration of time, and want to practise abstinence, it is also necessary to pay attention to your body as you may experience some changes. Some of the signs attributed to abstinence include: Your stress levels go through the roof According to Psychology Today, the endorphins released during sex are ideal for leaving your worries behind and putting an instant smile on your face. So when you’ve gone a while without sex, you might notice that your stress level builds. It’s not only those endorphins that help reduce stress levels, it’s those movements of the body during sexual intercourse. Sex can be a form of exercise, which we all know fights off stress and anxiety, so if you aren’t getting any these days, try not to skip your cardio workouts. If it wasn’t b
