    Atiku Abubakar Clarifies Relationship with Intels Amidst Controversy

    Presidential hopeful, Atiku Abubakar, has vehemently denied any association with Integrated Logistic Services Nigeria Limited (Intels) following reports linking him to the reversal of the contract cancellation between Intels and the federal government.

    In a statement shared via X on Sunday, Atiku clarified that he divested from Intels by selling his shares in December 2020 to the parent company, Orlean Investment Group. This move, made public in January 2021, indicated his complete exit from the company, and he emphasized that his divestment remains unchanged.

    Addressing the controversy surrounding his alleged benefit from the reinstatement of Intels’ boat pilotage monitoring business, Atiku firmly stated that such insinuations are baseless and misleading. He affirmed that, as of the sale of his shares, he no longer holds any stake in the oil and gas logistics company.

    “In January 2021, I made public the sale of my shares in Integrated Logistic Services Nigeria Limited (Intels) to Orlean Investment Group, the parent company of Intels. The phased sale of those shares that commenced in 2018 peaked in December 2020. Intels also made public my exit from the oil and gas logistics company, meaning that a different entity now owns those shares I sold,” Atiku clarified.

    FG releases 11 inmates from prisons

    Despite the Federal Government’s N35,000 wage award and various state governments pledging sums up to N25,000, citizens continue to face challenges exacerbated by the volatile exchange rate. Staple food prices, transportation, and essential services have soared, leaving the populace in distress.

    While the government proposed measures such as introducing Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles, citizens report no significant improvements. The high cost of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) has tripled transportation fares nationwide, causing financial strain on citizens.

    President Bola Tinubu, addressing the economic strain, announced a plan to invest N100 billion in acquiring 3,000 CNG-powered buses for mass transportation. However, observations indicate no tangible intervention, and transportation remains a challenge.

    In the midst of these challenges, citizens call for concrete actions to alleviate their plight. The high expectations hinge on the refinery’s performance and the fulfilment of promises by the government.

    The custodial centres involved in this initiative include Enugu, Nsukka, and Oji River Custodial Centres, along with Ibiteolo Farm Centre in Ezeagu Local Government Area. The announcement was made by the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, represented by Mrs Ogechi Ogu, the Deputy Director of Prisoners’ Rehabilitation and Welfare Action.

    Dr Tunji-Ojo highlighted that these releases are part of a broader effort targeting 4,068 inmates serving various terms of imprisonment across the country. These terms come with the option of a fine and compensation. The primary goal is to decongest the centres and create a more humane environment for the reformation and rehabilitation of offenders.

    The Minister further explained that the beneficiaries, most of whom were indigent and unable to pay fines, would receive a stipend of N10,000 each to support their reintegration into their communities. A total of N585 million was raised through the collective efforts of philanthropic individuals, groups, and corporate bodies committed to their corporate social responsibility.

    “All inmates in Custodial Centres, who have fines and/or compensation not exceeding N1 million are qualified and would benefit from this gesture,” stated Dr Tunji-Ojo. He emphasized the importance of providing training to equip the released individuals with functional skills for self-reliance upon discharge.

    The Minister expressed gratitude to stakeholders, including philanthropic individuals, groups, and corporate bodies, for their contributions. He called on the broader community to welcome these returning citizens without stigmatization, reinforcing the idea that everyone plays a role in the reform, rehabilitation, and reintegration of offenders.

    The Controller of Corrections in the state, Mr Nicholas Obiako, thanked the Federal Government and the Minister on behalf of the Controller-General of Corrections, Mr Haliru Nababa, for their commitment to paying fines and ensuring the release of the inmates. He highlighted the efforts made by the Enugu State Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service to prepare the released inmates through formal education and vocational training.

    As the beneficiaries leave the correctional facilities, each carries a Certificate in formal education or a Trade Test Certificate, enabling them to contribute positively to society through gainful employment or self-reliance.

    One of the beneficiaries, Mr Maduabuchi Okonkwo, expressed gratitude to the President, the Minister, and other stakeholders involved in their release. Okonkwo, speaking on behalf of the other 10 inmates, pledged, “We will not go back to crime as we have learned to be useful to ourselves and society.”

Faruk Yusuf Yabo from the Special Duties Office. Directors from the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) that were affected by the fire also joined the operation to ensure a coordinated response.

    The cause of the explosion and subsequent fire is yet to be determined, and investigations will be conducted to ascertain the circumstances leading to this unfortunate incident. The affected offices and utility rooms will undergo a thorough assessment to evaluate the extent of the damage and determine the necessary steps for restoration.

    This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of robust safety measures and emergency response protocols within government offices.

  • Lionel Messi opens up on Ballon d’Or row with Robert Lewandowski

    Lionel Messi opens up on Ballon d’Or row with Robert Lewandowski

    Lionel Messi recently addressed the previously simmering tension with Robert Lewandowski, shedding light on the dispute that originated from comments made during the 2021 Ballon d’Or ceremony.

    Two years ago, after securing his seventh Ballon d’Or, Messi asserted in his speech that the canceled 2020 award should have gone to Lewandowski, who was then with Bayern Munich.

    Read also: What is Ghana must go? why is Ethiopian Airlines having issues with it?

    Despite Lewandowski’s subsequent Best FIFA Men’s Player win for 2021, he did not receive a vote from Messi, leading to an acknowledgment from the Polish striker about the difficulty of understanding the sudden change in Messi’s opinion.

    In an ESPN interview, Lionel Messi admitted to giving Lewandowski the cold shoulder during Argentina’s 2022 World Cup clash with Poland due to these comments.

    Expressing his initial displeasure, Messi shared, “His statement bothered me. Because when I won the Ballon d’Or and said what I said, I felt it. And for him to speak the way he spoke, it bothered me.”

    However, Lionel  Messi revealed that the two players later crossed paths, had a conversation, and resolved the misunderstanding. Recounting a specific on-field incident during the World Cup clash, Messi said, “I dribbled past him because it was him.

    I was upset, I thought what he said didn’t fit. He was hot. Then he went to Barcelona, we talked a lot about the club, the city, and everything was fine.”

    Interestingly, Messi’s teammate, Angel Di Maria, disclosed that Messi deliberately targeted Lewandowski during a match last year.

    Di Maria explained, “Even my grandmother realized that Messi was deliberately confronting Lewandowski,” highlighting Messi’s intense passion and the tendency to respond to criticism on the field.

    Reflecting on Messi’s competitive spirit, Di Maria emphasized the impact of disrespect towards the football legend, noting that such comments tend to fuel Messi’s determination and potentially create challenges for opponents.

    This insight into Messi’s mindset adds a layer to the narrative surrounding the Ballon d’Or controversy, revealing the intricacies of interpersonal dynamics in the world of football.

  • What is Ghana must go?  why is Ethiopian Airlines having issues with it?

    What is Ghana must go? why is Ethiopian Airlines having issues with it?

    In a recent development, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has stepped forward to dispel the confusion surrounding the ban on the iconic “Ghana must go” bags. Contrary to earlier speculations, FAAN clarified through its official channels that the ban was not initiated by them but by Ethiopian Airlines.

    The Nigeria airport regulatory agency addressed the issue via its Twitter account, emphasizing that it was Ethiopian Airlines that implemented the ban on the use of “Ghana must go” bags during their flights and not a directive from FAAN or the Nigerian government.What is Ghana must go?

    In a series of tweets, FAAN stated, “Kindly note that @flyethiopian issued the ban on the use of Ghana must go on their flights, not FAAN, and not the Nigerian government.”

    This clarification comes in response to widespread reports suggesting that FAAN had imposed a ban on the popular bags, urging travellers not to bring them into any airports in the country.

    Earlier this week, Ethiopian Airlines, through a circular, informed its customers of the prohibition, stating that travellers are not allowed to use “Ghana must go” bags on any of their flights unless properly packed in a carton or hardcover rectangular container.

    The airline justified the restriction, citing the frequent damage caused to conveyor belts at various airports due to the bags. The circular emphasized the importance of cooperation from passengers to ensure the smooth operation of their flights and reduce potential disruptions caused by damaged conveyor belts.

    The Ghana must go bag is a sturdy and affordable bag used for packing belongings.

    The bag gained popularity in Nigeria during the 1980s when the Nigerian government deported hundreds of thousands of undocumented West African migrants, most of whom were from Ghana. They hastily packed their belongings into the bag after the Nigerian government gave them a short notice to leave the country, giving the bag its name ‘Ghana must go.

    The bag has come a long way, including the ban imposed by KLM and Air France in 2017, citing its ability to alter shape and potentially disrupt their baggage delivery systems.

    The ban persists, even though Ghanaian authorities protested at the time, stating it was not only insulting but also a matter of racism and discrimination, as African travellers were the main users of the bag.

    The bag is also associated with Nigeria, as corrupt politicians have been known to use it to transport money, especially during elections. It still maintains this reputation, even though most money transfers are now conducted online.

    Ghana must go remains popular in West Africa and now comes in different sizes and colours, serving various purposes, including being used as a fashion item or to carry groceries.

  • I Told Tottenham It Was Time For Me To Leave- Harry Kane

    I Told Tottenham It Was Time For Me To Leave- Harry Kane

    Harry Kane signaled the end of his illustrious tenure with Tottenham Hotspur, expressing that it was “time to move on” as the curtains closed on the previous season.

    This pivotal declaration paved the way for a high-profile summer transfer to Bayern Munich, a move that saw the prolific striker leave behind his status as Tottenham’s all-time leading goalscorer.

    Despite Kane’s remarkable achievements at Spurs, his departure was tinged with a sense of unfulfillment, having concluded his time without securing a coveted trophy. While flirtations with a transfer to

    Manchester City were thwarted by Spurs in 2021, the England captain found a new home in Bayern, securing a €110m (£94m) deal in August. Remarkably, Kane seamlessly adapted to his new surroundings, both on and off the pitch, even as he grappled with being separated from his wife and children who remained in England.

    Harry Kane Interviewed

    In an exclusive interview with FourFourTwo, Harry Kane opened up about stepping out of his “comfort zone” after nearly two decades at Tottenham. Reflecting on the unfamiliar terrain of the transfer process, he stated, “It was a first for me to feel how these transfers happen, and to be a part of one.”

    Kane’s impact at Bayern has been nothing short of spectacular. Acting as the successor to Robert Lewandowski, he has swiftly become a goal-scoring force, finding the net 22 times in just 18 games.

    Surpassing the combined goal tally of last season’s top scorers Serge Gnabry and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Kane is on track to potentially set a new personal record for goals in a single club campaign by June, with his current best being 41 during the 2017/18 season with Tottenham.

    The forward’s transition to Bayern Munich stands as a testament to his resilience and determination to push his boundaries.

    I Am A True Fan Of Manchester United- Julia Roberts

    Renowned Hollywood actress Julia Roberts passionately expressed her family’s unwavering support for Manchester United on the Graham Norton Show.

    The roots of this fandom trace back to a pre-season game between Manchester United and Arsenal in New York, an experience that deeply resonated with Roberts.

    Having graced Old Trafford on multiple occasions, Roberts reflected on her journey into becoming a devoted United fan, stating, “I’ve been to Old Trafford, I’m a true fan… We just got so into it, and somehow Manchester United just became our team, the Moder family team. We became sort of possessed.”

    Notably, Roberts’ preference for Manchester United didn’t escape the notice of Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, who expressed both admiration and disappointment.

    Guardiola lamented that during Roberts’ visit to Manchester, she chose to explore Old Trafford instead of witnessing Manchester City’s prowess.

    Guardiola wistfully remarked, “That’s why even if I win the Champions League, it will not compare to the fact that Julia Roberts came to Manchester and didn’t come to see us.”

    As the cherished team, Manchester United, gears up for a crucial match at St James’ Park, the stakes are high for Champions League qualification.

    Appeal Court Affirms Alex Otti as Abia Governor in Landmark Decision

    In a groundbreaking ruling today, the Court of Appeal in Lagos upheld the election of Governor Alex Otti of Abia State, dismissing appeals from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) along with their respective governorship candidates.

    The three-man Appeal Court panel delivered a unanimous decision on Saturday, asserting that Governor Otti’s victory at the polls conformed to the provisions of the Electoral Act.

    The court deemed the appeals brought by the PDP and APC as lacking in merit, describing them as akin to “a comedy skit brought to a democratic setting.

    Addressing the issue of political party membership, the court emphasized that it is a pre-election matter falling within the jurisdiction of the respective political parties.

    Governor Otti’s qualification to contest was affirmed, given his affiliation with the Labour Party, victory in its primary election, and the submission of his name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

    Regarding the concerns raised by the PDP and its candidate on the Bimodial Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), the court highlighted the appellants’ failure to substantiate or link their documentary evidence to specific aspects of the case.

    The court’s decision has ignited celebrations among Governor Otti’s supporters in various parts of the State, marking a significant milestone in the political landscape of Abia.

    BRGIE Distributes Over N85 Million Palliatives to Biafrans, Hausa Community  in Five Months, Emphasizes Unity in Struggle.

     

    Simon Ekpa, the Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE), has revealed that over N85 million worth of palliatives were distributed to Biafrans in the Southeast and South-South regions of Nigeria from July to November 2023.

     

    The Finland-based lawyer and separatist made this disclosure on Friday, highlighting the impact of the BRGIE liberation movement.

    The palliatives, comprising food items and cash, were distributed across Southeast locations, as evidenced by pictures and videos circulating in the media during the specified period.

    According to Ekpa, this initiative aimed to bolster the commitment of Biafrans to the actualization of the Biafra Referendum.

    From July 2023 to November 2023, the Biafra Prime Minister, through the Biafra Republic Government in Exile and Biafra De Facto Government in the homeland, has distributed palliatives worth over 85 million naira to Biafrans, both in the coastal and hinterland areas,” Ekpa stated.

    He emphasized that the palliatives were not exclusive to Biafrans, extending support to the Hausa Community in Borno state. This gesture was intended to underline that the Biafra liberation movement is not rooted in animosity towards other tribes in Nigeria.

    The Biafra government also shared palliatives with the Hausa Community in Borno state, demonstrating exemplary leadership to dispel any notion that the struggle is against any particular ethnic group. We want to make it clear that we have supported the Hausa community in the North with palliative measures to show we have nothing against them,” Ekpa reiterated.

    BRGIE, led by Mazi Ekpa, has been vocal in its pursuit of the Biafra referendum. The movement has consistently called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu and the liberation of Biafra, marked by weekly sit-at-home protests in the Southeast.

    In July, BRGIE organized a two-week sit-at-home protest across the southeast region, further emphasizing its dedication to supporting Biafrans affected by the challenges imposed by the Nigerian government.

    “After two weeks of a historic sit-at-home, the Biafra Government continues to touch the lives of Biafrans that Nigeria has destroyed. I chose the one to post,” Ekpa affirmed.

    This initiative reflects the commitment of BRGIE to both the well-being of Biafrans and fostering unity among diverse communities within Nigeria.

  • FBI Records: Tinubu under pressure to legalise homosexuality in Nigeria – Islamic group

    Muslim Rights Concern Urges Tinubu to Reject LGBT Accord Amid Allegations of Potential Blackmail using FBI.

    In the midst of growing speculation that the United States might leverage alleged criminal records against Bola Tinubu, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged president  Bola Tinubu to resist signing the “LGBT accord” aimed at legalizing same-sex relationships in Nigeria.

    In a statement released on Saturday and signed by the group’s Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, MURIC expressed concern over the pressure exerted by Western countries, particularly under the EU-ACP umbrella, for Nigeria to embrace the legalization of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) relationships.

    The statement vehemently rejected the concept, labeling it as “evil, immoral, luciferous, and abominable.” It argued against the order of nature, emphasizing that life is designed to continue through pairs of male and female, in line with Islamic beliefs.

    MURIC asserted that any agreement with the LGBT group would contravene Nigeria’s Anti-Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act of 2013, a law aimed at upholding morality and sanity in Nigerian society.

    Quoting the Quran, the statement referenced the condemnation of homosexualism by Prophet Lut (peace be upon him) and the destruction of the people of Lut in Sodom and Gomorrah. The group also cited biblical verses condemning homosexuality.

    The news source cited concerns that Bola Tinubu might succumb to signing the LGBT pact due to alleged criminal records held by the United States, including the FBI, CIA and others agencies. The source claimed that these records could be used as leverage to pressure Tinubu into compliance with the proposed LGBT accord supported by the EU and America.

    It was reported that on October 23, Bola Ahmed Tinubu through his lawyer filed an  appeal asking the court not to release his FBI Records, citing potential damage to his name and privacy. Aaron Greenspan, founder of plainsite, and investigative journalist David Hundeyin have filed a suit through the Freedom of Information Act in the USA compelling the FBI, CIA, and other agencies to release Bola Tinubu’s criminal records that led to the forfeiture of $460,000 in the US.

    The FBI has released some of the records, but Tinubu’s name has been redacted from the document to protect his privacy, with the FBI citing national security. The matter is still in court, adding another layer to the complex dynamics surrounding Tinubu’s potential in signing the LGBT accord.”
