Read below... Welcome to the beginning of a New Year of the continuation of CHANGE in our beloved nation. I am aware that Nigerians have experienced a number of significant hardships over the past months. Living in the State House has not alienated me from your daily sufferings. I am aware of the lengthy queues at fuel stations and of the difficulties businesses have faced in acquiring foreign exchange. These challenges are only temporary; we are working to make things better. When I presented myself to you as a presidential candidate and asked you to vote for me, I wanted to be a leader who keeps his promises. I wanted to be a leader who restores the people's hope in those elected to serve them. I wanted to be a leader who initiates positive and enduring CHANGE. I am still totally committed to being that kind of leader. Unforeseen circumstances and other distractions notwithstanding, I shall still do my utmost best to keep every promise I made to Nigerians during my election camp

According to a photojournalist Sani Maikatanga who posted the photos on Instagram, her name is Rahma Haruna, a resident of Lahdin Makole village, Kano. She has no functional limbs and arms. Her brother carries her around in a plastic bowl to beg for alms. After seeing this photo this morning i was happy and sad. First i was sad because of the condition this little girl is into. Everyone walking and working for a living but here she is unable to move or work. And i was happy because she might be a victim of misfortune but she is better than those that lost their lives in 2016, She can breathe and talk, that means one thing. There is hope. Message : This message goes out to you out that there, reading or hearing about this. Don't just laugh of cry rather take this as an inspiration and do something better for yourself this 2016 because a physically crippled person is far better than a man with two hands and legs that can do nothing for himself.

A court of appeal sitting in Abuja on Thursday, December 31, upturned the decision of the Taraba state election tribunal which declared the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s Aisha Alhassan the winner of the Taraba governorship election. The court decided in favor of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s candidate, Governor Darius Dickson Ishaku, ruling that Ishaku’s nomination by the PDP could not be questioned by a non-member of the party. The Justice Danladi Abubakar -led tribunal had on November 7 sacked the Peoples Democratic Party’s Ishaku and declared All Progressives Congress’ Aisha Alhassan the winner. But Governor Darius Ishaku , who expressed confidence in holding on to his position, following the possibility of going to the poll for a third time, filed an appeal asking the court to set it the judgement of the state tribunal aside. Ahead of today’s judgment, on December 21, the Justice Abdul Aboki-led five-man bench of the appeal court heard three appeals and

Nigerian political class is in for many tragedies in 2016, this is If prophesies coming from the spiritual leader of the Omega Fire Ministries are anything to go by. According to the President of   Omega Fire Ministries , Apostle Johnson Suleiman , who spoke in a statement signed by his media adviser, Mr Phrank Shaibu and sent to Naij.com , said the nation will witness many heart rending political developments this year. Apostle Johnson Suleiman The cleric said a sitting governor of one of the 36 states of the federation will not see the end of the new  year, declaring that, “we have to pray, if not a governor of one of the 36 states may not see the end of 2016, ” in a prediction which is one of his 30 Shocking Predictions for the Year 2016.

Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, who was recently released on bail by the Department of State Services (DSS) has been rearrested. As seen on Naij.com and composed by Daily Trust , Dasuki’s rearrest took place shortly after being released from the Kuje Prison in Abuja. The former NSA , who is standing trial in three different courts in Abuja for alleged money laundering offences running into billions of Naira, was taken to court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) but regained his freedom temporarily after being granted bail last week along with former Sokoto state governor, Attahiru Bafarawa and his son, Sagir , as well as a former NNPC top official, Aminu Baba Kusa . But, in a rather stunning twist of fate, Dasuki’s lawyer, Ahmed Raji (SAN) confirmed his re-arrest to Daily Trust last night. This report was also corroborated by Chief Olufemi Fani-Kayode in a tweet on Tuesday, December 29, 2015. View Tweet Below Dasuki met his bail condition

KoJaBole, a survivors’ mantra, represents the victory anthem, that comeback-strong message. In Yoruba Language and popular colloquialisms, it means “It Did Not Fall”. Mo Eazy comments, “The video for KoJaBole and the lyrics will connect with so many people today who face everyday struggles; I would like

William Shakespeare wrote that “all the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.” How we define the parts we play shapes the daily drama of our lives. Are we puppets, dancing to someone else’s tune or actors with a dynamic sense of agency, creating new possibilities in our lives? William Shakespeare Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck has found that our sense of self and our success in life are related to our “mindset.” People with a “set mindset” are stuck in the status quo, believing that their intelligence cannot be changed, while those with a “growth mindset” believe that their intelligence increases as they embrace new challenges.  Neuroscience research affirms a growth mindset, for our brains develop throughout our lives, growing new neural connections in response to stimulation. If you cannot use a new computer program or play a musical instrument today, regular practice will stimulate your brain to develop new connections. And after a series of clu

It is 3 a.m. in the morning: the time that is commonly referred to as the bewitching hour . This is the moment that darkness and silence stalks the land. This is the moment that is pregnant with fear, uncertainty and mystery.   This is the moment that evil is undone and that witches return home from their blood-drenched covens. This is the moment that hearts beat fast and that sensitive ears tingle at the slightest sound.   Femi Fani-Kayode   I love the stillness of this sacred hour. I love the power of the darkest morning and the blackest night. I love that bewitching moment when darkness gives way to light.  It banishes inhibitions and it kindles passion.  It heightens sensitivity and it excites the human spirit. It purifies the inner man and it sharpens the inner voice. It brings communion with God and it strengthens the soul. It stirs creativity and it brings peace.    O that that peace would last and that that beautiful stillness and silence would persist. It brings

Group Managing Director NNPC and Minister of State for Petroleum , Dr. Ibe Kachikwu , during his tour of Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical Company, KRPC , yesterday, said the country will still rely on 75 per cent importation of fuel throughout the whole of next year. According to him: “The future is that, Nigeria is still going to import fuel in 2016 and beyond. Best case situation is 25 per cent local and 75 per cent importation. Worse case is what we are experiencing now. “Until we begin to get individuals who can co-relocate, we are going to be doing a mixture of local and importation of fuel to meet up demands. In the next few weeks, however, queues will disappear in fuel stations.”The minister said that the Kaduna refinery will soon be producing more than two million litres per day capacity as soon as an Fluid Catalytic Cracking, FCC, unit is fully on stream. He said: “We need to get it back to re-kit it to work well. We will do that with some level of production

The thoughts in your head are a reflection of what your mouth says. How powerful can our thoughts be? Very very powerful. Has it ever happened that you thought of something, without having the intention of seeing it happen and the next minute you see it happen? Sometimes it might not be as fast as a minute; you might have gone for hours and the next thing you see, it happens. Most times, people even mistake it for a dejavu, but then it is just your thoughts. So if your thoughts can be this powerful, what then are we supposed to do? It’s pretty simple, guard them right. We need to think positive at all times. How does that work? It is a  conscious effort. I will list 2 major points of the conscious effort we have to make: By minding the things you let get into your head : Everybody has something to say, (the good, the bad, the ugly and the worse) but not everything everyone has to say is for you. You do not necessarily have to open up your mind to digest everything or every word that p

Some women sit silently in a house of pain afraid to open the door of possibility, afraid to face the breath of blessings waiting and pounding with the wind on the door. They stay clattered, constrained, confused in a space of familiarity as they face the pain and internal disaster that comes from walking with a partner that does not provide comfort, shelter, peace, prosperity but instead gives pain, pressure, doubt, distraction-all because they are afraid of that door. They stare at it sure enough-they stare at it and dream of the possibilities on the other side –what could happen if I ventured outside she silently wonders? She has no clue about the cost of her constraint on her true worth-value diminished in a house of dust, cobwebs clinging to walls of whispered promises that never weave into actions of warmth. But she still sits, waiting and hoping for some change-some chance to clean this house up again-misunderstanding there is no path for answers in the dirt road of disaster. In

Press statement as released by the Nigerian Army below.. Another catastrophe was averted in Kaduna State and other contiguous areas when troops of the Nigerian Army arrested 7 suspected Boko Haram terrorists bomb and Improvised Explosive making Devices (IEDs) specialists. The terrorists were arrested in Kaduna after painstaking surveillance and proactive intelligence operations over a period of time.

Recall that recently in Maiduguri some of them were arrested while trying to detonate IEDs carried in food containers in public places. The arrest of these suspects would no doubt assist in the fight against terrorism in the country, more so as the military have technically defeated the Boko Haram terrorists in the field, the terrorists have resorted to attacking soft targets through suicide bombings, IEDs an
