Shekau End Time

Nigerians want Shekau to pay for crimes
committed
A purported new video from the leader of the
Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau which
surfaced i n the early hours of Thursday,
March 24 is generating huge buzz among
Nigerians.
Abubakar Shekau looking frail in the new
video
Shekau, who was reportedly killed, is making
an appearance for the first time in more than
a year. In the seven-minute video, subdued
Abubakar Shekau appears in a military
uniform with a rifle resting on his left

Shekau’s video
“I have done my part. This message is just to
reassure you that I’m alive and actually the
one speaking to you,” he said in both Hausa
and Arabic, ” he said.
The video however lacked the usual taunts
and denunciation of political leaders of
previous videos and will likely be interpreted
as an admission of defeat, the dejected-
looking Shekau declared: “For me the end has
come”.
See the video of Shekau below:
But many Nigerians angered by the colossal
destruction, the estimated 20,000 people who
have been killed and the over 1.5million
people displaced the Boko Haram’s six-year
insurgency have called demanding for more
action to be taken against the Boko Haram
leader

Ramsey Noah:I live and beg under the Bridge

Ramsey Noah: ‘I lived Under Bridges, Begged For Food In Lagos – Actor reveals
Posted by administrator
The Nollywood ‘lover boy’ said his journey to stardom proves that there is no shortcut to success but through hard work and determination.
Nollywood actor, Ramsey Noah, has spoken on his experiences growing up, including having to live under bridges and beg for food in Lagos.
The actor who can now be classified as veteran, has had very bad experiences before he got to stardom, experiences that were painful and distressing, making sure that he has now tasted two sides of the coin.
The Nollywood ‘lover boy’ said his journey to stardom proves that there is no shortcut to success but through hard work and determination.
In a chat with Stargist, the handsome actor recalled how he once lived under the bridge while growing up with his mother.
“I lived on the streets and in a store which could accommodate a mat with my mother. My mother and I squeezed ourselves in that mat.
“Those were the times when things got really bad for my mother and I and we had nothing. It was so bad that we didn’t have a home to live in. We didn’t even have a cup to drink water, talk more of a stove to cook on. My mother had to borrow, beg and stuff like that.
“Those moments, those terrible moments we had nothing and we were living off people. People were just helping us out. There were times we didn’t have food to eat three or four days. You haven’t eaten and your stomach is rumbling but you don’t have any place to go.
“It was unfortunate that there were no records so that we can have memories we could play back now. To me, I am so extremely grateful that I went through it. At that time, I hated everybody around me. In fact, I used to question why God was doing this to me. But I think God knew that I needed this for my future”.
The father of two added:
“These were moments when I was young. I didn’t realise the gravity of poverty we were in”
There have been far more appalling success stories but it never makes the experience any easier to forget, but makes one appreciate the present even more.
Noah has now qualified for this with his perseverance and grit.

New Tested Robot pizza Delivery

Domino’s new trial pizza delivery robot in New Zealand is just under a metre (three foot) high and contains a heated compartment that can hold up to 10 pizzas. (AFP Photo/)
Fast food giant Domino’s is to trial pizza delivery robots in New Zealand, it said Friday, describing the hi-tech, driverless units as a world first.
In a move enthusiastically backed by the New Zealand government, Domino’s said it was working with authorities on plans to roll out its DRU (Domino’s Robotic Unit).
The four-wheeler, developed in Australia, is just under a metre (three foot) high and contains a heated compartment that can hold up to 10 pizzas.
It is battery powered and uses on-board sensors to avoid obstacles, with Domino’s saying it can deliver pizzas within a 20 kilometre (12.5 miles) radius of a store before returning to recharge.
Customers are given a code when they order, which they enter onto a keypad to unlock the compartment containing their pizza.
“DRU is cheeky and endearing and we are confident that one day he will become an integral part of the Domino’s family,” the chain’s New Zealand general manager Scott Bush said.
“He’s a road to the future and one that we are very excited about exploring further.”
While a date for the trial is yet to be finalised, Transport Minister Simon Bridges said the government working with Domino’s on the project and was keen for it to proceed.
“This is an exciting opportunity for New Zealand… over the last 12 months I’ve been actively and aggressively promoting New Zealand as a test bed for new transport technology trials,” he said.
New Zealand is still working on regulations relating to driverless vehicles such as the DRU, which is designed to operate on both roads and footpaths.

Agatu Genocide:Lawmakers blast President Buhari

– Some members of the Benue parliamentary caucus in the House of Representatives raised alarm over bloody attacks of Fulani herdsmen
– They also blasted President Muhammadu Buhari for downplaying the “genocide” happening to the Agatu people
– The lawmakers wondered why the federal government has not made public the report of the investigative panel
Some lawmakers raised alarm over the “genocide” happening to the Agatu people in Benue state.
Some members of the Benue parliamentary caucus in the House of Representatives have raised alarm over bloody attacks of Fulani herdsmen and strongly criticized President Muhammadu Buhari for downplaying the “genocide” happening to the Agatu people in the state.
Vanguard reports that 11 lawmakers condemned Buhari and Abdulrahman Danbazzau, the minister of interior, while briefing journalists on Thursday, March 17.
“A genocide that typical of the Nigerian state has been downplayed or ignored until it spirals out of control. After the Agatu mass massacre, a few headlines were recorded, a few sympathetic comments in high places but concrete moves to stop the killings have not been made.

“We decry the lukewarm attitude of the federal government towards this ‘jihad’ being waged against our people by the herdsmen. We condemn the belated reaction of President Muhammadu Buhari and his minister of interior, Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Danbazzau (rtd) who broke their unholy silence a week after over 500 people were killed and 10 villages razed in Agatu area of the state,” they said.
The lawmakers wondered why the federal government has not made public the report of the investigative panel and has not inaugurated it in the first instance.
They lamented that every planting season is heralded by serial attacks by Fulani herdsmen who also return during the harvesting season.
Earlier this week, Dambazau promised to deal decisively with the perpetrators of the killings in Agatu community. He also ordered the inspector general of police, Solomon Arase, to carry out an on-the-spot assessment of the situation in the communities.
Meanwhile, Senator David Mark visited some parts of Benue state in the aftermath of the Agatu killings.
He called on local people to refrain from any form of reprisal attack on herdsmen in any part of Benue south district to prevent an escalation of the crisis between Fulani herdsmen and Agatu farmers. He also urged the state and federal governments to intervene by rebuilding the war ravaged communities as well as rehabilitating the survivors to resume their routine farming business.

Illegal CBN

– CBN’s secret recruitment of 909 staff comes under scrutiny
– Reps says the process which brought in the workers is against recruitment laws
The House of Representatives has mandated its committees on Federal Character and, Banking and Currency to investigate the alleged secret recruitment 909 staff by Central Bank of Nigeria into various cadre of the bank without the required authority.
The committee is to submit its report to the House within three weeks for further legislative action.
The House faulted the alleged recruitment by the apex bank saying the exercise was in violation of the Federal Character principle.

Reps to investigate illegal recruitment of politicians’ relatives
While moving the motion, Rep. Aliyu Sani Madaki (APC-Kano) told the green chamber that the alleged recruitment had generated a lot of negative reaction from a good number of Nigerians.

Madaki said that although the bank had the power to recruit, other laws of Nigeria stipulates that such recruitment must be subject to approval by other relevant authorities.
He said there was a clear case of non-adherence to the principles federal character as enshrined in the country’s constitution, a conclusion he said was predicated on available data on the recruitment exercise.
“This recruitment was done secretly without due advertisement carried out. The principles of fairness, equity and justice as enshrined in our constitution was not respected in the recent exercise by the CBN.
“Sometimes last year when members of the public got wind of the secret recruitment exercise, the CBN came out and, outrightly denied any such recruitment or planned recruitment.”
The move by the House of Representatives comes on the heels of discovery showing how the CBN unlawfully hired a daughter of former vice president Atiku Abubakar, a nephew of President Muhammadu Buhari and many others relatives of top officials.
The leaked document shows a list of people tied to powerful or highly placed Nigerians, who were recently proposed appointments.

Ocholi death

– President Muhammadu Buhari says Late Ocholi taught him and others fidelity, commitment and loyalty to party, to government, and to God
– Buhari reveals how he backed Late Ocholi for Governor of Kogi state in 2011
– Buhari says Ocholi will be sorely missed
President Muhammadu Buhari has issued a tribute to Nigeria’s late minister of state for Labour and Employment, Barrister James Ocholi.
According to Buhari, the late Ocholi was fully committed and loyal to Nigeria, loyal to the All Progressives Congress, and loyal to his administration.
Buhari noted that Ocholi was part of the change cabinet determined to bring Nigeria out of the trying times and place it among the greats in the comity of nations.
The President declared that Ocholi will be ‘sorely missed’.

Read below:
James Ocholi Taught Us The Meaning Of Loyalty
How do I begin to pay this tribute to a man who was the epitome of civility, the archetype of intellectualism, and the paragon of loyalty? How do I begin to mourn James Ocholi, whom you can describe as one of my right hand men in the quest to reposition our country, and fashion a land of peace and prosperity, where no man is oppressed?
A lot has been written about Ocholi since the tragic event of March 6, 2016, which took the life of our Minister of State, Labour and Employment, his wife, Blessing, and his son, Joshua. And a lot more will be written, for Ocholi was no mean man.
He was a man among men, an Iroko in a forest of trees. How are the mighty fallen!
Among many other positive and pleasant things, I will always remember Ocholi for his loyalty to our beloved country Nigeria, loyalty to our party, the All Progressives Congress, and loyalty to our administration, in which he had served for just about 4 months, before death took him.
In 2011, Ocholi ran to be governor of Kogi state on the platform of our then party, Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). I believed so much in him, and in his ability to add value to the governance of his state, that I followed him round the state on campaign. We visited all the local governments, visited the paramount rulers, and urged the people to vote in a worthy man as governor. But politics is a peculiar game in Nigeria. The best often does not win.
Ocholi did not win. But he bore it gracefully.
In 2015, he threw his hat into the ring again. He sought to be governor on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), a party he had helped midwife.
He still did not win at the party primaries, an eventuality he bore gracefully again.
When the APC was being negotiated into existence among the Legacy Parties, Ocholi did a yeoman’s job, contributing his quota to the legal processes. This he did under a junior lawyer, who was not a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) like him then. But what mattered to Ocholi was the birth of a strong, solid party, which could wrest power at the centre, and bring change to our country.
Hierarchy is important in the legal profession, just as it is in the military. But Ocholi subordinated pride and ego, served under his subordinate, and APC was born.
Dream became reality.
Steadily but sure-footedly, he was part of the Change Cabinet, resolved to bring our country from out of the woods, and pedestal Nigeria among the greats in the comity of nations.
Then the unthinkable happened. The Grim Reaper harvested Ocholi. What a pity! Sad and tragic. But we have this consolation: the departed has taught us fidelity, commitment and loyalty to party, to government, and to God.
He will be sorely missed.
