The result of the National Assembly election declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission on Tuesday has pushed the opposition All Progressives Congress to the majority status in the 109 membership Senate. Before the election, the Peoples Democratic Party enjoyed the majority status in the red chamber with 64 members while the APC has 41. Other parties, like the Labour Party, the Accord Party and the Social Democratic Party, shared the remaining five seats. The APC will now have 64 senators; the PDP, 45; and the Labour Party, one. The development, our correspondent observed, will obviously alter the configuration of the Senate leadership in the 8th Senate which would be inaugurated in June this year, because the opposition APC which is currently in the minority, would constitute the principal officers. For instance, the current Senate President, David Mark who is returning to the Senate for the fifth time, will lose his seat to an APC member while the change in gear will

RIVERS State Governor Rotimi Amaechi escaped unhurt in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area on Thursday when gunmen, suspected to be political thugs, fired shots at his convoy. Two members of the All Progressives Congress were however unlucky as they were seriously injured in the incident, which happened at about 6pm on Thursday. The governor was on a door-to-door ward campaign of the area. An SMS sent to our correspondent by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. David Iyofor, indicated that the attackers made bonfire along a major road in the area to prevent the governor from leaving. The SMS read, “This evening, gunshots were fired at the convoy of Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi at Rumuolumeni, Obio/Akpor LGA by PDP thugs. “Obio/Akpor is the home of the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Nyesom Wike. The thugs attacked the governor’s convoy and his entourage with bottles, stones and other dangerous objects. Then gunshots were fired at the convoy. “When the gove

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission on Thursday declared that most residential customers would not enjoy the benefits of the recent cut in electricity tariff. According to the commission, most residential electricity consumers in the R1 and R2 categories did not experience any increase in tariff when electricity rates were hiked on January 1, 2015. It said the increase on the first day of the year only affected industrial, commercial and high-end residential consumers, stressing that most people in the R1 and R2 categories would begin to pay increased tariffs from July 1, 2015. The Chairman, NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, gave the clarification at a meeting with members of the Electricity Consumer Association of Nigeria. Amadi said, “Majority of the residential customers in the R2 and R1 categories did not experience the January 1, 2015 increase in tariff. They will not also see any reversal or reduction in tariff as the industrial, commercial and high-end residential consumers whos

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Wole Aboderin, has urged Nigerians to vote for the experience of the party’s presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). Aboderin, who spoke on Thursday, explained that Buhari has what it takes to lead Nigeria to greatness. Describing Buhari as an upright and disciplined man with the love of the country at heart, Aboderin urged voters to troop out en masse and vote for the country’s symbol of change. He said, “Buhari is in the best position to deal with the situation. Luckily, he has always surrounded himself with intellectuals, one more reason Nigerians of different backgrounds are supporting his candidature. If Nigeria truly desires a break away from the current stagnation and economic downturn, Buhari is certainly the option. “Buhari wants to contribute his gifts and talents. He is no longer interested in material acquisitions. He has realised that life is transient. He has stepped out in love to address the challenges

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Wednesday took on President Goodluck Jonathan for falsely listing Lagos projects as parts of what he had achieved in the last six years in office. The governor described as an act of deception and deceit the listing of Adiyan Water Works (Phase I and II) projects fully implemented by the Lagos State Government as parts of the president’s achievements. He disclosed this during the fourth anniversary of Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme (Lagos HOMS) raffle at City Hall, Lagos Island, where he faulted the advertorials in which the projects were listed as Jonathan’s initiatives. He said: “I was reading Page 64 of The Guardian, President Jonathan listed as part of his achievement the ongoing construction of the Adiyan Water Works (Phase I and II) projects. That advertorial is a lie. The Lagos State Government under this administration is the one building the waterworks. “If the president wants to lie in order to win election, it is a very

Says president, PDP not keeping to peace accord Rivers governor is a pathological liar, says Fani-Kayode Rivers State Governor, Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, on Wednesday said at an emergency news conference in Lagos that President Goodluck Jonathan has approved his assassination by security agents for this Saturday, March 28, when the presidential poll is due. Amaechi, who had rushed down to Lagos following an alleged tip-off by concerned security agents, said the reality of the assassination came this time for the second term because it was meant to have been executed by February 14, the first date of the presidential election before the six weeks postponement. According to him, the plan to kill him on March 28 was hatched by the Director-General of the State Security Service (SSS), who has asked for military cover whenever they invade his community in Ubima, Rivers State to assassinate him on the day of the presidential election. According to Amaechi, 30 soldiers from Division 2 led

Bill Maris has $425m to invest this year, and the freedom to invest it however he wants. He’s looking for companies that will slow aging, reverse disease, and extend life. “If you ask me today, is it possible to live to be 500? The answer is yes,” Bill Maris says one January afternoon in Mountain View, California. The president and managing partner of Google Ventures just turned 40, but he looks more like a 19-year-old college kid at midterm. He’s wearing sneakers and a gray denim shirt over a T-shirt; it looks like he hasn’t shaved in a few days. Behind him, sun is streaming through a large wall of windows. Beyond is the leafy expanse of the main Google campus. Inside his office, there’s not much that gives any indication of the work Maris does here, Bloomberg Markets will report in its April 2015 issue. The room is sparse—clean white walls, a few chairs, a table. On this day, his desk has no papers, no notepads or Post-its, not even a computer. This story appears in the April 2015

The Dr. Fredrick Fasehun-led Unity Party of Nigeria has dumped its Lagos State governorship candidate, Mrs. Dupe Onitiri-Abiola, who is the wife of the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, MKO Abiola. The UPN subsequently endorsed the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje at a rally on Wednesday. Fasehun, who is also the Founder of the Odua Peoples Congress, openly called on supporters at a rally at the Tafawa Balewa Square to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday and Agbaje on April 11. While delivering his speech titled, ‘Why Nigerians want Jonathan back on March 28, 2015, and should vote Jimi Agbaje of the PDP, Fasehun, told the crowd that “Jonathan is the best man for the job because as President he has recorded unassailable achievements in the area of education, infrastructure, agriculture and others.” He said, “Jimi Agbaje is the best of those available for the job of Governor of Lagos State. Agbaje comes with a soun

# WhyIvoteBuhari  has been trending all day on twitter and PDP couldn't have any of it any longer and had to cough out N2.5 Million just to have the hash-tag  #ifBuhariWinsNigeriaLoses promoted to the number 1 trending Hash-tag. A tweet joked about the promotion saying "If PDP could have the Promoted Sign removed, they would have it done" and another tweet says "Money in Action vs People in Action". As the elections are to take place come this saturday, many are geared towards casting their votes and the major outcry from all corners and agencies is everyone should have a VIOLENCE FREE election.

(Reuters) - Boko Haram militants have kidnapped more than 400 women and children from the northern Nigerian town of Damasak that was freed this month by troops from Niger and Chad, residents said on Tuesday. There was no immediate official confirmation of the figure, but the Islamist group has previously carried out mass kidnappings. Boko Haram's abduction last April of nearly 300 schoolgirls in the region stirred international outrage and drew global attention to the group's six-year insurgency. "They took 506 young women and children (in Damasak). They killed about 50 of them before leaving," a trader called Souleymane Ali told Reuters in the town. "We don’t know if they killed others after leaving, but they took the rest with them." Troops from Niger and Chad last week found the bodies of at least 70 people in an apparent execution site under a bridge leading out of Damasak, where the streets remain strewn with debris and burnt-out cars after the figh

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Tuesday, disclosed that he has uncovered another plot by the Presidency to handover to the Nigerian military if it loses the coming Presidential election. Obasanjo said this alleged plot would undermine the integrity of Nigeria among the comity of nations. The former President stated this yesterday while playing host to the South West women of the All Progressives Congress led by the wife of the party’s presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, Hajia Aisha Buhari. Obasanjo had recently warned against introduction of Interim National Government by the Presidency which he said could plunge the country into chaos like the former President of Cote d’l voire , Laurent Gbagbo who refused to hand over after he lost the election did. The former President said, he was happy that Nigeria has gone beyond the rumour of Interim National Government, saying that, he hopes the country will also survive the rumour of handing over

Nigerians will Slave to PAY for all the Money spent by Jonathan if he Wins this coming Election It's obvious the Jonathan presidential campaign team have overshot their budgeted amount of N21billion naira raised for the campaign with all these money being shared in large sums and different currencies both local and foreign, the team can't categorically say it's all from the N21billion raised. The fallout between the President and the SURE-P chairman that led to his sack wasn't only based on the sentiment of he asking for "CHANGE" but many quarters said it was because the President asked him to deep his hands into the SURE-P funds for he (President) personal use for political benefits. How many are we to mention, is it the monies given to the PASTOR (7Billion), IMAMS (Undisclosed), OBAS (250 Thousand Dollars each), BLOGGERS (25 thousand Dollars), YOUTH LEADERS, AFENIFERE (100Million), OPC (100Million), AIT (10Billion) MASSOB, NIGER-DELTA MILITANTS and

This is truly Inspiring... New Delhi – A 70 year-old farmer in northern India survived a 15-minute battle with two leopards but lost an eye in the fight, a news report said on Tuesday. Dhan Singh, from a village in mountainous Uttarakhand State was walking home on Sunday when the big cats pounced on him from the bushes. The septuagenarian fought the leopards with his walking stick for nearly 15 minutes before villagers who heard his cries for help arrived at the scene and scared away his assailants. Singh lost an eye during the fight and was being treated for multiple injuries including, lacerations on his legs, waist and back. Report says in August 2014 a 56 year-old woman in the same region staved off a leopard attack and killed the cat using a sickle and spade. According to forest officials, the northern state of Uttarakhand has a growing leopard population and conflicts with humans are becoming increasingly common.

Former President, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, has dispelled rumours making the rounds in the social media, that he was dead. The elder statesman maintained that he was hale and hearty by the will of God, just as he enjoined the political class to unite the country. Reading from a signed terse statement made available to journalists in Sokoto, yesterday, Shagari appealed to all Nigerians to continue to give peace a chance, especially during the forthcoming elections. He stated: “Let me use this opportunity to appeal to you and through you to all Nigerians to continue to give peace a chance, especially during this election period. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.” The former president reminded politicians in the country of the need to put Nigeria first, no matter their ambition, stressing that nobody should sponsor or perpetrate violence in the name of politics, as it is not a do-or-die affair. He emphasised that anybody, who sponsors or perpetrates violence is working against th

Few days after alleging that the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) was planning to release a documentary through an illegal radio station, “APC Radio,” to discredit the Jonathan administration and key figures in his cabinet, the Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO), Femi Fani-Kayode, has again raised another alarm. Addressing newsmen yesterday in Abuja, he said the APC was planning to release a video four days to the general elections with the intention “to denigrate, bring into disrepute and shame the Nigerian people, the Nigerian government and key government officials as we prepare for the presidential election scheduled for March 28.” Unlike the ‘APC Radio,’ which he mentioned former Ambassador to Spain, Yusuf Mamman and erstwhile Ekiti State governor, Kayode Fayemi, as the alleged masterminds, he did not mention the individuals behind the purported video, but said “ APC’s new video, was quietly procu

Nigeria's President made a public announce to reduce Electricity tariff by 50% but many subscribers have come out to say that only the monthly bill was cut in half as the tariff stays the same. Even some have claimed that payments made on their last bill haven't reflected on the recent bill given as many stay angry as to the fulfilment of his promises by the DISCO's. Read the submission of an aggrieved customer. President Jonathan acted swiftly, much to the relief of long suffering Nigerians, to direct the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission to reduce the tariff. But it seems the discos are slashing the bills grudgingly. What the Federal Government intended with the slashing of the electricity bills is that there is a genuine reduction in tariff, not window dressing as it seems the discos are doing. As I stated in that letter, those who are on prepaid who use air-conditioning systems, and even pump water for commercial purpose pay on average N4000 a month.

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has asked Lagos residents not to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party in the forthcoming elections, saying doing so would turn the state into “a theatre of unending war and violence.” The opposition party, which accused President Goodluck Jonathan of courting “violent militia groups” in his bid to win the polls, said Lagosians needed to be alerted to the grand plan by the PDP to provoke violence in Lagos State, where “peace has endured for years.” The APC, in a statement by its Lagos State Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, said the recent rally by members of the Oodua Peoples Congress, with attendant vandalism of APC campaign posters and billboards signalled a return to the days of insecurity in the state, should PDP be voted in the forthcoming March 28 and April 11 general elections. The statement read in part, “We want to alert the good people of Lagos to the grand design by the PDP that has supervised the worst security cri

Presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, in Owerri reviewed the downward slide of the nation’s economy and called on Nigeria to rise and say bye to the government of President Goodluck Jonathan. Buhari, who buhari-Nairaspoke as chieftains of the party and members of the APC Governors’ Forum, stormed Owerri, Imo State capital for a meeting, in their last minute campaign, said Nigeria would witness unmitigated disaster, if President Jonathan was re-elected. While the APC Governors’ meeting was the first in the year, which they also tagged “March for a New Nigeria”, Gen. Buhari used the opportunity to plead with Nigerians to shun ethnic tribal and clannish sentiment in electing a new president for the country. After taking a critical look at the performance of the nation’s economy in the last 16 years, Gen. Buhari said: “We   should all rise and say goodbye   to PDP because   no amount   of sentiment will justify voting for the PDP ag

President Jonathan was admitted into the Department of Zoology (now renamed Animal and Environmental Biology), University of Port Harcourt, in 1977, where he graduated with Second Class Honours (Upper Division). In 1985, Mr. Jonathan obtained a Master of Science degree in Hydrobiology and Fisheries, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Zoology 10 years later. Both degrees were also from the University of Port Harcourt. Lately, Mr. Jonathan’s academic qualifications have come under increased scrutiny ahead of the forthcoming general elections. Critics have accused the president of failing to complete his doctorate programme. In a response to an enquiry by Punch Newspaper in January, the university dismissed such claims as having “neither legs nor grounds to stand on”. The university had also told any person or organization seeking additional information on Mr. Jonathan’s qualifications to contact the school authorities. “We have absolutely nothing to hide as an institution that has a

INEC on Friday made it known on Channels TV that voters can stay behind to monitor their votes after casting it on the day of election.

24-year-old Ibime Belema-Jonathan is reportedly claiming that President GoodluckJonathan is his father. According to reports making rounds, Ibime who is from Nembe, Baylesa state claims: “his mother was a receptionist in a Port Harcourt hotel (which shall remain undisclosed) when she met Goodluck nearly 25 years ago. Their relationship was made private because of the risks it posed to Goodluck’s then fledgling political career. He has decided to disclose this information after recently being informed by his mother, who had just passed away. It is his desire for his father to assume and fulfill his fatherly duties after a lifetime of absence.”

You can tell when there is still a little youthful exorbitance shown by the Raggae/DanceHall artiste because I see no reason why she should even go to such length to debunk such rumour peddled by some unscrupulous blogger who tarnish the image of other bloggers...

How can something like this happen?
