This Is A Disregard For Tinubu’s Call For Peace’ – Pro-Fubara APC Members Counter Call For Impeachment

'I Will Not Bend To Govern Rivers State' - Fubara Declares

Some members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, under the aegis of the Solidarity and Development Forum in Rivers State, have countered calls for Governor Siminalayi Fubara‘s impeachment.

Recall that the APC state chairman, Tony Okocha, directed the Rivers State House of Assembly on Tuesday to immediately commence proceedings to impeach Fubara.

The latest development follows the political crisis rocking the state amidst the face-off between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

Naija News reports that the APC members, who are believed to be Fubara’s loyalists in the state, in a statement signed by its conveners, Kabir Matazu and Igwe Ude-Umanta, described the call for the Governor’s impeachment as “reckless and irresponsible.”

The group noted that the renewed crisis in the state was no longer needed, stressing that President Bola Tinubu had settled the matter.

The APC members frowned at Tony Okocha’s unguided utterance toward Fubara, stating that it showed a disregard for Tinubu’s call for peace and threatened to destabilize the government and create chaos in the state.

The statement added, “The President himself, in his wisdom, has called for all parties involved in the disagreement to maintain the status quo and work towards a peaceful resolution.

“Governor Fubara has heeded this call and has demonstrated his commitment to the vision of inclusivity and good governance that our dear president has upheld since assuming office.

“It will be unfair, and unwise for any party member, or individual not to resonate in the same frequency as our president.

“It is very disheartening to witness Chief Tony Okocha’s unguided utterances, which not only disregard the president’s call for peace but also pose a threat to the stability and progress of our beloved party.”

11 Injured As Boeing Plane Skids Off Runway In Senegal

A Boeing 737/300-passenger aircraft operating under Air Senegal, chartered by the privately-owned Transair, veered off the runway during an early morning takeoff in Senegal, injuring 11 people and leading to the temporary closure of the international airport near Dakar.

Naija News reports that the incident occurred around 1 am (0100 GMT) Thursday, disrupting operations for nearly 12 hours.

The aircraft, destined for Bamako, Mali, was carrying 78 passengers when it failed to successfully take off at Blaise Diagne International Airport, located 50 kilometres from Dakar.

According to airport management group LAS, which includes Turkish firms Limak and Summa and the publicly owned airport operator AIBD, four of the injured passengers sustained serious injuries, while six others required medical check-ups within the airport facilities.

In response to the accident, the airport’s emergency plan was promptly activated, facilitating the evacuation and immediate care of passengers.

“All the airport emergency services have been mobilized for the evacuation of passengers and their care, as per the plan,” stated a representative from LAS.

The aircraft was subsequently immobilized away from the runway, and images circulating online showed significant damage to the left engine and wing, which was covered in firefighting foam.

The airport confirmed that operations resumed normally shortly after midday.

The LAS group announced, “We inform you that Blaise Diagne International Airport has reopened. Airport operations have resumed as normal.”

Authorities have initiated an investigation to ascertain the precise cause of the incident.

Aviation specialists, along with airline representatives, are currently examining the airline log data and interviewing crew members to determine why the aircraft departed from the runway.

This incident adds to a challenging period for Air Senegal, which has faced ongoing criticism over delays affecting both domestic and international flights.

The airline commenced operations in May 2018 following the collapse of Senegal Airlines in 2016 and aims to transform Dakar into a regional air hub, leveraging the newly inaugurated airport facilities.

Established in 2010 and based at Blaise Diagne International Airport, Transair serves several destinations across West Africa and transports approximately 90,000 passengers annually.

This event follows closely on the heels of another incident involving a Boeing aircraft. A FedEx Boeing 767 cargo plane landed at Istanbul airport without its front landing gear, as reported by the US Federal Aviation Administration, although no injuries occurred in that instance.

Minimum Wage: ‘If Subsidy Was Not Removed, We Would Have Suggested ₦80,000 – NLC Boss Ajaero

Minimum Wage: ‘If Subsidy Was Not Removed, We Would Have Suggested ₦80,000 – NLC Boss Ajaero

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) national president, Joe Ajaero, has explained why they proposed ₦615,000 as the minimum wage to the federal government.

According to Ajaero, the union would have probably suggested ₦80,000 if the fuel subsidy was not removed.

Naija News recalls that the NLC President noted that governors can afford to pay the proposed ₦615,000 minimum wage if they get their priorities right.

During a courtesy visit to The Nation headquarters in Lagos on Thursday, May 9, Ajaero emphasized that the proposal to the government was influenced by the economic realities in the country.

He said though there were misconceptions about the proposal, the NLC arrived at the figure to make lives better for the workers.

Ajaero stated: “There are misconceptions about the proposed ₦615, 000, but we don’t have choice and if we are asked to represent it today it will increase. The tarrif was not there when we made the proposal but things are hard now.

“We looked at food, medicals, education, and other utilities. We didn’t make provision for communication, offering and the likes. Those are some of the things we took into cognisance before we arrived at ₦615,000.

“We think it is better for us to explain to Nigerians for them to understand us better. The removal of subsidy also affected everything. Probably, if the subsidy was not removed, we would have suggested ₦80,000.”

NPFL Plans To Enforce New Minimum Wage For Footballers

< 1 mn read

The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) is planning to increase the minimum wage of players in the league due to economic hardship across the country.

Reports claimed that players in the NPFL earn nothing less than N150,000 and above depending on their status and the nature of the club they play for.

This means that the lowest earner in the professional football league earns about 105.75 dollars per month (based on March 9, 2024 exchange rate) which is not close to what the lowest paid in the English Premier League earns per week.

NPFL Chairman, Gbenga Elegbeleye said in a statement that the said amount which is the league’s minimum wage should be increased to a yet-to-be-disclosed amount.

He said the economic hardship across Nigeria has made such a salary benchmark insufficient for professional footballers in the country.

“The last NPFL players can earn is N150,000, by next season, we will upgrade it because even N150,000, we discovered that some clubs are paying below it. Some players accept it just to join such clubs,” the NPFL chairman said.

“That is why compiling your account now is part of our clubs’ licensing.

“We want to see where and what you are paying each player and it has to be through banks.”

Hardship: Over 31 Million Nigerians Will Face Severe Food Crisis From June – Report

 

Igboho: Northern Group Threatens To Stop Supplying Food To The South

A troubling report from the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and its partners forecasts that approximately 16 per cent of Nigerians (32 million people) will grapple with severe food insecurity between June and August 2024.

Naija  News reports that the study signals an escalating crisis in hunger and deteriorating living conditions not only in Nigeria but across West and Central Africa.

The report indicates an increase from last year’s figures, with the 2024 projection showing a concerning rise in food insecurity during what is traditionally known as the lean season.

The report read, “Looking ahead, the projected outlook for the period June-August 2024 appears even more severe: nearly 52 million people across the 17 analyzed countries are anticipated to face phases 3 to 5 during the lean season of June-August. This translates to 12% of the analyzed population struggling to meet their basic food and nutrition requirements.

“These countries include Mauritania (656 652, 14%), Burkina Faso (2 734 196, 12%), Niger (3 436,892, 13%), Chad (3,364,453, 20%), Sierra Leone (1,569,895, 20%), and Nigeria (31,758,164, 16%).”

A staggering 52 million people across the region are expected to face acute hunger during this period, constituting about 12% of the population analyzed.

For Nigeria specifically, the figures are even more dire, with an estimated 32 million people facing crisis-level or emergency food insecurity conditions.

The situation is particularly critical in the northern states of Sokoto and Zamfara, where over 15% of children are reported to be suffering from acute malnutrition, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis.

The report also highlights that several other countries within the region are expected to suffer significant food security challenges.

These include Chad, where 20% of the population could face severe food shortages, and Sierra Leone, which shows similar percentages. Mauritania, Burkina Faso, and Niger are also on the list of nations facing daunting food security challenges.

The IRC has attributed the rising severity of food insecurity across the Sahelian belt to a combination of factors, including increased insecurity, adverse effects of climate change, and deteriorating macroeconomic conditions marked by high inflation rates.

In January 2024, the average inflation rate in the region was recorded at 21%, up from 18% in the previous year. Sierra Leone, in particular, has experienced a dramatic increase, with inflation rates soaring to 54%.

Ayra Starr dodges shady question about Cardi B, American rapper responds

Cardi B said that the reporter was trying to be messy.

The Tmz reporter asked if Cardi B was disrespectful for forgetting her designer's name at the Met Gala. Ayra Starr dodged the question

In a new viral video on X, Ayra Starr was stopped by a TMZ reporter who asked her about Cardi B forgetting the name of the designer of her 2024 Met Gala outfit on the red carpet.

“So Cardi B just went after the former Vogue director Gilbert. The dress that she wore to the Met Gala took months to make and she didn’t remember the name of the designers who made the dress,” the reporter said.

Starr immediately interjected, highlighting how nerves could be the reason. “It happens sometimes because of the nerves,” she said.

However, the reporter probed further saying, “She said she was supposed to stand and pose on the podium and that there was a lot going on. But you’ve been on a lot of red carpets, is it disrespectful not to know the designer’s name?”

The singer then laughed, raised her hands in defeat and said, “I don’t know to be honest but I feel like nerves would definitely make you forget. Love to Cardi B though, always. So I don’t know.”

Cardi B responded to the clip on X, supporting Ayra Star and stressing that the media outlet was trying to be shady.

Her reply read, “Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa try to be messy and mission failed…also why put a superstar like Ayra in such a weird and uncomfortable position?”

This comes after the rapper was criticised for forgetting the name of the designer who made her dress, Sensen Lii, and calling him “Asian.” During the heat of the backlash, a former director at Vogue called her out for calling her designer Asian, highlighting that Sensen Lii was Chinese.

Cardi B then made a video to explain what happened, stressing that she was not trying to be racist. “I kind of forgot how to pronounce the designer’s name because his name is a little bit complicated…My mind was just racing,” she said.

E-Money Reacts to Report of Police Probe Over N1.2bn Dispute With Lagos Firm

Music executive E-Money has responded to a recent report alleging that the police have declared him wanted in relation to a N1.2 billion dispute with Autocrop Limited.

In order to address this report, he utilized his Instagram platform to express his thoughts.

In a statement released on Thursday, May 9, he emphasized that the online stories circulating are “misleading and do not accurately depict the true nature of the situation.”

“Our attention has been drawn to the Punch Newspaper publication affecting the person of E-Money, the CEO of Emy Cargo & Shipping Services Limited. The pieces of information contained in the said publication are misleading and do not represent the facts of the matter.

“Unequivocally, the news alleging a Police probe into a N1.2 billion dispute between E-Money and Autocorp Limited is not an accurate representation of facts. The Nigeria Police is investigating a report by Autocorp Limited against Emy Cargo & Shipping Services Limited on a business transaction regarding the clearing of vehicles in the year 2019/2020.’

“Unreservedly, E-money and Emy Cargo & Shipping Services Limited have visited the Police as a law-abiding citizen to give accurate details of the business dealings.

Accordingly, we urge the public to refrain from spreading unfounded rumors and sensationalized information. The truth of the situation is far more nuanced and does not warrant the sensationalism portrayed in recent reports. Thank you. #itistoolatetofailamen.”

My trad is on May 25 and wedding on May 27th.
My Fiancé just canceled everything because I lied to him. I went to give my ex boyfriend my wedding Invitation.
My intention wasn’t to sleep over. He started begging me that we have a lot to talk about. That I should allow us talk now that I’m still single.
He begged me to sleep over and I did. One thing lead to another, we had sex all through. l didn’t tell my fiancé and he has never
questioned me about that.
Not knowing that he hacked my phone and he’s waiting for the time he will be with me to talk about it. He asked me and I lied.
Then he provided an evidence. There was no way out so l started apologizing.
In my presence, he called both parents and asked them to cancel any wedding preparations.
When they asked why, he told them I will explain better. He left me in his house and went to a hotel and he’s going back to Abuja from the hotel.
He instructed his gate man to make sure I leave tomorrow and I should drop the house keys with him. I’ve called him over 800 times, he’s not picking.
Please what can I do to remedy this. I don’t want to loose my man. We love each other so much. I need help please. My fragile heart can’t survive this. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

2024 UTME: Mass failure demands national concern – Peter Obi

 

The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party at the 2023 general election, Peter Obi has expressed displeasure over the massive failure recorded in the 2024 Joint Admission Matriculation Board, JAMB, UTME examination.
In a post on his official X account on Thursday, Obi pointed out that the shocking statistics paint a troubling picture that demands urgent national attention.

The former Governor expressed worries that the country’s education sector was far behind countries like Iran, Bangladesh, and Egypt.

The post reads, “The recent revelation regarding the JAMB UTME 2024 results and percentages has sparked deep concern about the state of education in our country.

“These statistics paint a troubling picture that demands urgent national attention and discussion.

“The distribution of scores is alarming, with only 0.5% of candidates reportedly scoring 300 (75%) and above, while a staggering 76% scored below 200 (below 50%).

“This brings to limelight an obvious gap in the quality of education provided nationwide. Education remains a critical determinant of a nation’s progress on the Human Development Index, HDI.

“Unfortunately, Nigeria has continued to lag behind in education, reflected by its low HDI ranking of 164 out of the 191 countries measured. This places Nigeria far below other comparable nations like Iran, Egypt, Indonesia, Bangladesh and the Philippines which are within medium and high HDI.

“Though we claim as a nation that our literacy rate is above 50 percent, which is far below the global average of about 80% and continues to lag behind other comparable countries like Iran, Egypt, Indonesia, Bangladesh and the Philippines with literacy rates of above 70%. This again, underscores the systemic challenge in access to quality education, particularly in rural areas”.

According to Obi, “One of the consequences of the reported general poor performance in UTME is that with our population of over 200 million, Nigeria can only boast of about 2 million full-time students in different universities, while Iran with a population of over 89 million has over 8.2 million students in one University alone, Islamic Azad University, Bangladesh with a population of about 173 million boasts of over 2 million enrolled undergraduates in the National University of Bangladesh”.

He called for urgent attention to be given to the education sector by aggressive investments, enhancing teacher training programs and implementing inclusive policies.

Rivers crisis: Pro-Fubara APC members counter call for impeachment

Rivers crisis: Pro-Fubara APC members counter call for impeachment

Some members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State have countered calls for the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Recall that the APC state chairman, Chief Tony Okocha, on Tuesday directed the Rivers State House of Assembly to immediately commence proceedings for the impeachment of the governor.

The call followed the political crisis rocking the state in the wake of the face-off between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

The APC members, under the aegis of Solidarity and Development Forum, described the call for Fubara’s impeachment as “reckless, and irresponsible”.

They also said it threatens the very fabric of the country’s democracy.

The APC members, who are believed to be loyal to Fubara, said the renewed crisis was no longer needed, stressing that President Bola Tinubu had settled the matter.

The group in a statement signed by its conveners, Comrade Kabir Matazu and Igwe Ude-Umanta, said the call was a clear attempt to destabilize the government and create chaos in the state.

“The President himself, in his wisdom, has called for all parties involved in the disagreement to maintain the status quo and work towards a peaceful resolution,” the statement said.

“Governor Fubara has heeded this call and has demonstrated his commitment to the vision of inclusivity and good governance that our dear president has upheld since assuming office.

“It will be unfair, and unwise for any party member, or individual not to resonate in the same frequency as our president.

“It is very disheartening to witness Chief Tony Okocha’s unguided utterances, which not only disregard the president’s call for peace but also pose a threat to the stability and progress of our beloved party,” the statement added.
