Kola-Bo:From America with evergreen reggae

Kola-Bo:From America with evergreen reggae Nigerian/American born reggae cum dance-hall artist, Ighobaro Amamayaevbo better known as Kola-Bo is a rare breed. At a time when many African entertainers saw America as the land flowing with milk and honey, the melting pot of showbiz, Kola-Bo held on to his motherland. This is despite his strong affinity with the land that dubbed God’s Own Country. He was born and raised in America, yet Kola-Bo prefers to ply his musical trade in Africa. As a student of the University of Phoenix where he is studying Health Management and Information, the beefy young man merely shuttles between Nigeria and America to meet up with his academic and other challenges there where his parents and siblings currently reside. Kola-Bo ‘’Not much is known about me here because I’ve been in America ovr the years going to school and pursuing my musical career there. I have a very strong fan base in Texas and New York. But I decided to come home because this is where

He also appraised the President Muhammadu Buhari administration and explains his stand on the recent overtures of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to stakeholders in the Niger Delta.

The British citizens took a decision to opt out from EU on the premises that they need to take back their country, in that, the policies of the EU was not in their favour and that they need to be in control of their borders because they believe in the freedom of people to live in a free world.

Leader of the concerned senators, Chief Mao Ohuabunwa, has already drawn the attention of the Senate to the continued detention Kanu and Dasuki despite court orders asking the Federal Government to free them. Senator Godswill Akpabio, had opposed Ohuabunwa’s motion to free Kanu and Dasuki, on the ground that it was out of order for Ohuabunwa to introduce the motion especially when it had nothing to do with the debate on the appearance of Comptroller General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ali in uniform. Ohuabunwa asked the Senate to prevail on the Attorney General of the Federation to advice President Muhammadu Buhar

Flynn ready to testify for immunity

Image
of America seven years to kill Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is willing to testify before federal and congressional investigators in their ongoing probe into Russian meddling in the US elections, but only if he is granted immunity, his lawyer said Thursday. "Gen. Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit. ... No reasonable person, who has the benefit of advice from counsel, would submit to questioning in such a highly politicized, witch-hunt environment without assurances against unfair prosecution," Robert Kelner, Flynn's lawyer, said in a statement late Thursday. The Wall Street Journal first reported Thursday that Flynn was in talks to try to get a promise of immunity, but that nobody had agreed to his terms yet. However, aides to the House intelligence committee said they have not received any requests from Flynn yet. A spokesperson for the Senate intelligence committee declined comment

Buhari 'll still travel to London for medicals-presidency

Image
THE Presidency last night said it was not in the know of any sudden change of mind by President Muhammadu Buhari to travel back to London for another round of medical check-up. President Muhammadu Buhari The reaction was prompted by some reports that Buhari, who had upon his return from London on a medical vacation barely three weeks ago, said he would not go back for further treatment but would rather import doctors to treat him in Abuja. Speaking through the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, the Presidency said the news of the President not going back was false. He, however, did not specify the date of Buhari’s proposed return to the United Kingdom. Only on Wednesday, the federal government said that it would not disclose the medical bills of the President. “It is false news. We are not aware of the reported advance movements. The last time the President spoke about this, he said he would return to his doctors after some time.

of America seven years to kill MANILA -- Japan expects to sign a financing agreement to build Metro Manila's first underground mass transit line to help decongest the gridlocked Philippine capital. The Philippines-Japan Joint Committee on Infrastructure Development and Economic Cooperation met in Tokyo earlier this week and agreed to "work closely" together on possible projects. Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia revealed separately that the bilateral discussions covered 14 projects, including the central section of the Metro Manila subway project. The 25.3km line will run from Quezon City in northern Metro Manila to Taguig City in the east. The project's estimated cost is 230 billion pesos ($4.6 billion), and this will come in the form of official development assistance from Japan. Feasibility studies should be completed in September in time for the agreement to be signed when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and President Rodrigo Duterte meet in Novembe

DRC opposition calls 'ghost town' protest as crisis grows

Image
of America seven years to kill Kinshasa - The Democratic Republic of Congo's opposition have called for a stay-home stoppage for Monday to force President Joseph Kabila to implement a deal on sharing power. In a statement issued on Wednesday, an umbrella group of opposition parties said they would stage a "ghost town" operation bringing cities to a standstill across the country. The alliance, called Rassemblement ("Rally"), condemned "the chaos" that it said had been caused by Kabila's failure to implement a power-sharing deal signed on December 31. Kabila first took power in 2001 to replace his assassinated father as war ravaged the country. His unwillingness to step down and enable elections at the end of his constitutional mandate last year led to protests in which at least 17 people were killed. Under a deal brokered by the country's influential Roman Catholic bishops, Kabila was allowed to stay in office until late 2017 in tandem w

Exclusive: South Africa's Zuma considers stepping down early in deal to oust Gordhan

Image
of America seven years to kill Zuma is considering offering to step down next year, at least 12 months before his term as South African president ends, under a deal with opponents in his ruling party that would see Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan leave office now, two senior party sources said. Zuma is due to be replaced as leader of the African National Congress (ANC) at a party conference in December after serving his allocated two terms, but was expected to remain the country's president until elections in 2019. His spokesman did not respond to several calls for comment. Zuma's offer would allow him a dignified exit as there remains a possibility he could be removed by the ANC before next year. Who becomes the next leader of the ANC is key for Zuma given he could yet face corruption charges, analysts say. His offer appears intended as a way out of an impasse over the country's leadership within the divided ANC, but may not be enough to satisfy opp

JAMB:No going back from Computer Based Test

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB Thursday refuted the publication that it has canceled the Computer Based Testing, CBT, adding that the introduction of 8 keys was to enable candidates who are not computer literate answer examination questions effortlessly. The Director of Information, JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin who spoke with Vanguard said:”There is no going back from the Computer Based Testing, CBT.” According to him, the clarification became necessary following the misleading caption in the front page of yesterday ‘s Nation Newspaper that “JAMB dumps CBT, adopt eight keys” He said: ” The headline was not only misleading but capable of causing panic, distortion and confusion in the minds of Nigerians particularly the candidates planing to take the UTME examination of a well conceived CBT examination which the Board was consolidating on the gains and feat recorded.”

The judge freed the inmates while on a visit to the prison where he rolled out the parole of mercy in consonance with the provision of the Criminal Custody Act.

GHANA:Central bank governor resigns

Governor of Ghana’s central bank, Abdul-Nashiru Issahaku has resigned. This was made known to journalists by anonymous source. According to sources within the central bank, the governor who officially started his four-year term around September last year tendered his resignation on Wednesday citing personal reasons. Although the governors of the central bank have been insulated against political risk through an amended Bank of Ghana Act which assures them the security of tenure, speculations have been rife immediately after the December election that the current government would like the governor to leave office so they could appoint a replacement. Issahaku was first appointed by former president John Mahama in April 2016 in an acting position when Henry Wampah tendered his resignation six months before the end of his tenure. Mahama was defeated at the polls by current president, Nana Akufo-Addo who won the election by 53 per cent. Sources within the central bank also na

of America seven years to kill President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John Nnia Nwodo has declared that the struggle for restructuring of Nigeria is more important than the agitation for Igbo presidency in 2019. Chief Nwodo spoke during a dinner organised in his honour by Old Sigmites, Lagos chapter, a club founded in 1950 at the University of Ibadan. The Igbo leader also objected to the killing of unarmed members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB). He wondered why the youths, who were clearly not happy with the unfair treatment being meted out to them in a country that is supposed to be theirs, were brutally killed. Insisting that the youths did not warrant being killed, Nwodo also berated the Federal Government over continuous detention of IPOB’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu. “The agitation for Igbo presidency in 2019 is a non issue as far as I am concerned.

SENATE DRAWS BATTLE LINE WITH BUHARI

Image
yesterday gave President Muhammadu Buhari the marching order to relieve the acting chairman of the Economic of America seven years to kill and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu of his job. The sabre-rattling Senators vowed not to consider or confirm the 27 names of Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs), if Buhari failed to respect the outcome of their decision to sack the anti-graft boss. To prove that it is prepared to walk its talk, the Red Chamber announced the suspension of confirmatory hearing on the REC nominees for two weeks to enable the senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki “discuss” with the executive. Buhari had forwarded the list of REC nominees to the Red Chamber last week for confirmation. For the second time, Magu was rejected two weeks ago by the Senate on account of a damning report from the Department of State Services (DSS). At plenary yesterday, the Senators said it was wrong of Buhari to continue to keep Magu in an acting capacity, despite th

of America seven years to kill Minister of Defence Minister, Brig. Gen. Mansur Dan-Ali (retd.) disclosed to newsmen, yesterday, that Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, is alive. The Nigerian Army hadboasted severally of having killed Shekau. Regardless, Dan-Ali said Shekau is hiding in Sambisa forest in Borno and has been disguising with masks, to evade arrest. He, however, said the military is hot on his trail and, and assured that, just as it took the United States Osama Bin Laden, Shekau will soon be captured. President Muhammadu Buhari had, on December 24, 2016, announced the military had succeeded in liberating Sambisa forest, one of Boko Haram’s hideouts. The army had briefed him on how the Boko Haram’s stronghold in Sambisa, now known as Camp Zero, was captured. But, Shekau, in a video posted shortly after, said he and his members were safe and had not been flushed out of anywhere. The Boko Haram leader urged the Federal Government to stop telling lies to the public in the

Bishop kukah:I didn't collect money from Jonathan

Bishop of Sokoto, Mathew Hassan Kukah has criticised the perception that he was close to former President Goodluck Jonathan for what he could get. “Despite my friendship with Jonathan over a long time, we never discussed a penny, we never discussed one dollar; we never exchanged a penny, and we never exchanged a dollar,” Kukah said. In an interview in the current edition of The Interview, Kukah said those who thought they could smear him by warming up to President Muhammadu Buhari were responsible for fantasising his relationship with Jonathan. “Suddenly, journalists whom I knew were writing, hoping they would be given positions (by Buhari), and all those who were abusing me, have gone full cycle,” he said. He continued: “Those who should be ashamed of themselves are those who took money from Jonathan, tons of it, and buried under the table; they have decided to change course in the middle of the race. Those are the people you should be talking about.” In a statement, the Managing Dir

governor of Akwa Ibom State and co-chairman of Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Obong Victor Attah, has warned that Nigeria may break up unless fiscal federalism is instituted. Attah, who spoke on a private radio station in Uyo, the state capital, yesterday, said the only respite Nigeria has against its imminent disintegration would be to return to fiscal federalism as that remains the only solution to myriad of socio-economic problems besetting the nation. “Under a fiscal regime, as it were in the days of the regions, states, would contribute 50 percent of their resources to the central government and use 50 percent for development of their territories, such that multiplier effects would douse 90 percent of tensions in the country.” Attah, who was governor between 1999 and 2017, said Nigeria would have achieved more significant development if true fiscal federalism had been put in place, instead of what is obtained at the moment. The former chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum d

FIFTEEN communities in Orumba South local government of Anambra State have raised alarm over alleged menace of herdsmen in the area. Prince Chukwudi Ugochukwu, a spokesman for the communities, who spoke when some officials of the state government visited the area, regretted that the herdsmen allowed their cows to be grazing freely in their farms , thereby destroying the crops.

He said: “All the communities in this area are under the threat of the herdsmen and all our farmlands have been devastated by the herdsmen” “Our women had wanted to demonstrate over the ordeal they are passing through, but they were restrained.

Okorocha, the governor of Imo State, has called for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu. He made the call in an exclusive interview with Sunday Sun. However, the governor was dismissive about Kanu’s advocacy and importance saying that the continued detention of the Biafra secessionist activist was “making a hero out of nothing”. The Imo governor also spoke on his reservations about the Biafra struggle and more or less said that current advocacy groups were ineffective. “On the issue of Kanu and IPOB, I have a different opinion altogether and I think it has been over- dramatised and over pursued, we will just find out that it has not given us any key result,” the governor told the newspaper. “See, approach is key in life and how you look at things. I think what we must do as Igbo is to let the federal government see the reasons to release Kanu because keeping Kanu there is making him a hero out of nothing.” “He should be released. Si
