Naira Marley Finally Granted 2 Million Naira Bail To Be Out Of Prison

Nigerian Musician, Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, has been granted bail by the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos At the resumed bail application, his lead defense counsel Olalekan Ojo, SAN, urged the court to accept the bail application based on the presumption of his innocence in accordance with Section 162 (1) The defense also pleaded that a liberal approach is taken in hearing the bail application. The prosecution counsel, led by Rotimi Oyedepo, however, argued that it is not the temporary release of the singer that mattered but the final judgment. He, therefore, urged the court to grant accelerated hearing rather than bail. He added that since the lawyer of the defendant said the defendant is a celebrity, then his actions and inactions have a multiplier effect on youths in the entire federation. Justice Nicholas Oweibo who presided over the bail hearing after listening to the defense and prosecution arguments granted the singer bail to the sum of N2

Governor Of Oyo State Scraps School Fees Though N30,000 Minimum Wage Can't Be Met By His Administration (Read Full Gist)

The newly inaugurated Governor of Oyo State, Mr. Seyi Makinde, has said he would scrap the N3, 000 being paid by pupils of all public primary and secondary schools in the state and also promised to donate his salary to pensioners. He admitted that the greatest challenge confronting the state was the issue of poverty and promised to tackle it with a drastic leap in agriculture, just as he pledged to look into the issue of over 400, 000 out-of school-children in the state. Makinde stated this in his eight-page inaugural speech shortly after he and his deputy took the oath of office at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, Ibadan. However, Makinde said the state was not capable of paying the new N30, 000 minimum wage but was quick to add that, “I believe in true federalism. “I believe the states should decide the minimum wage of their workforce based on individual realities. All states are not created equal; so, it is against the principle of fairness to apply a blanket rule t

BREAKING: NYSC To Implement Inclusion Of Date Of Birth On Certificates

The National Youth Service Corps says it has decided to henceforth include the date of birth of corps members on the certificate of national service as a measure to guard against age falsification. The NYSC said its decision was informed by the West African Examination Certificate and the scheme’s Exemption Certificate which included the dates of birth of the holders. The NYSC Director-General, Brig Shuaibu Ibrahim, stated this in Abuja at the 2019 Batch B pre-mobilisation workshop, noting that the scheme observed that some tertiary institutions were guilty of presenting over-aged graduates for mobilisation. Ibrahim said on Tuesday that the rising number of corps-producing institutions and the “attendant rise in corps members’ population pose a great challenge which we must address.” The DG said, “We have observed that some institutions present over-aged graduates for mobilisation. Such graduates falsify their age in order to avoid appearing on the exemption list.

Ambode’s Four Years Better Than Tinubu’s Eight Years – APC Chieftain Says

Alhaji Biliaminu Mustapha, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Epe area of Lagos, has described Governor Akinwunmi Ambode as one of the best governors Nigeria has ever produced. Speaking with Daily Independent, Mustapha said Ambode’s Four years in charge of governance in Lagos was an eventful one as he achieved what some state governors couldn’t achieve in eight years. Specifically, he said Ambode’s four years was better than the eight years spent by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu from 1999 to 2007 in terms of infrastructure, reduction in crime rate as well as other key sectors. “I think the governor should not have any regret about not getting a second term because he has achieved a lot during his four years reign. As Muslims, we believe nothing can happen without Allah’s permission. Maybe Allah wants Ambode to serve just for one term and he just used the leaders who opposed him as the instrument to make that happen”. “Ambode did a lot in just four year

ASUU Threatens Strike As FG Falls To Hold Up To Agreement

The ASUU National President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, stated this at a briefing in Abuja, to give an update on the ongoing renegotiation with the government and to clear the air over the N25billion confirmed by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, to have been approved for universities. Ogunyemi said the N25billion was meant to be a part-payment of the Earned Academic Allowances and should have been released between February 15 and 28, 2019, as agreed. But this was not done. He said, “Since information on the amounts mentioned in the media went round, the ASUU has been inundated with enquiries on the union’s perspective to the story. “Funding for the revitalisation of public universities has for ye

2019 UTME Candidate With Highest Score Calls For Use Of Local Languages In Teaching Maths

Ekene Franklin, the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) top scorer has called on the Federal Government to amend the method of teaching mathematics so as to benefit students and make them successful. Franklin said mathematics and science subjects should be taught in local languages which students could easily understand. This, he said would bring out the genius in the learners. Franklin who scored 347 marks said in an interview with Daily Trust that students should learn mathematics by memorising steps and formula. The inability to learn by heart, he said tended to develop the fear of mathematics. “Mathematics should be taught informally; we must put aside this formal method of teaching maths to make it appealing to many. In China, they learn maths using their language, and I think that has really helped them. There are a lot of geniuses, but mathematics becomes difficult to learn because of the technicality of the way it is being taught,” he said. C

"There Is Nothing To Be Afraid Of If You Have Nothing To Hide, We Are Just Doing Our Job" - EFCC Tells Bukola Saraki

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has in a riposte pontificated that the commission has the constitutional right to investigate whomever it wants, noting that the President of the eight senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, should calm down if he has nothing to hide. Disclosing this in a statement obtained by Vanguard, EFCC dismissed the notion that the commission wants to witch-hunt Saraki intentionally. Recall that Saraki had in a statement signed by his special adviser on media and publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, said that  EFCC’s fight against him is a mere witch-hunt exercise, aimed at settling scores, laced with malicious and partisan motives.  He advised the commission to desist from further ‘label to damage’ plots against him. In view of Saraki’s statement, EFCC averred, “The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has taken note of the reactions of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki to the Commission’s inquiries regarding his earnings as Kwara Stat

"My Tariffs On Chinese Goods Is Causing Companies To Move Production Out Of China" - U.S. President Donald Trump Says (Read Full Gist)

U.S. President Donald Trump said his tariffs on Chinese goods are causing companies to move production out of China to Vietnam and other countries in Asia, and added that any agreement with China cannot be a "50-50" deal. In an interview with Fox News Channel recorded last week and aired on Sunday night, Trump said that the United States and China "had a very strong deal, we had a good deal, and they changed it. And I said that's OK, we're going to tariff their products." No further trade talks between top Chinese and U.S. trade negotiators have been scheduled since the last round ended on May 10 - the same day Trump raised the tariff rate on $200 billion worth of Chinese products from 10 percent. Trump took the step after China soured the negotiations by seeking major changes to a deal that U.S. officials said had been largely agreed. Since then, China has struck a sterner tone in its rhetoric, suggesting that a resumption of talks aime

10 Players Retiring This Summer: Van Persie, Cech, Barzagli & A List Of Other (See Full Details)

As we enter the summer months, most supporters are looking ahead to new players they may welcome to their clubs – but it’s also time to remember those who will be waving goodbye to the game. All good things must come to an end, and the list of players retiring at the end of the season makes us realise we really are getting old. We’ve taken a look at 10 notable names and familiar faces who have decided to hang up their boots. #Robin van Persie Van Persie retiring at the age of 35 is a shocking reminder of our own mortality, but it’s a testament to the man himself that he has lasted so long after so many injury problems during his early years at Arsenal. When he was fit and firing, few strikers in the Premier League could match the Dutchman, especially during his final season in north London and debut campaign at Manchester United, when he struck 67 goals in all competitions. #Petr Cech By all accounts a nice man and definitely a great goalkeeper, Cech has se

Finaly, EFCC Files 11 Charges Against Naira Marley (Read News In Full)

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has preferred 11 charges bordering on fraud against upcoming musician, Azeez Fashola, commonly  known as Naira Marley, for alleged credit card fraud. The musician effectively risks seven years in jail if found guilty, as Section 33 (2) which he was accused of breaching, reads: “Any person who uses: a counterfeit access device; an unauthorised access device; an access device issued to another person; resulting in a loss or gain commits an offence and shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term of not more than seven years or a fine of not more than N5,000,000.00 and forfeiture of the advantage or value derived from his act.

Premier League Players To Get Yellow Cards If They Request For VAR Next Season

Premier League players may be shown a yellow card next season if they gesture for a referee to check a decision with VAR, Sky Sports understand. Referees will be encouraged to show common sense early in the season as players adapt to the new technology, which will be introduced for the first time for all Premier League games. All managers and Premier League squads will be visited by PGMOL officials over the summer, to warn them about their conduct. Referees will stress VAR officials will be monitoring the game constantly, so there is no need for players to call for a review. If a player mimics the outline of a TV screen with their hands, they are likely to be booked, but much will depend on the manner and body language of the player at the time. However, the new advice does not constitute a new rule – it comes under existing FA laws on dissent, whereby any show of aggression or overt questioning of a referees decision will result in a yellow card.

Breaking: The Future Of Barcelona Coach, Ernesto Valverde In The Club Is Uncertain (Read Why)

Barcelona president, Josep Bartomeu, has expressed his full backing for manager Ernesto Valverde, despite calls for his sack. The Spanish champions wrapped up back-to-back La Liga titles with a 1-0 win over Levante on April 27. After this weekend’s league fixture against Eibar, they will switch their attention to a Copa del Rey final against Valencia six days later. Despite being within touching distance of another domestic double, Valverde’s position has come under scrutiny since his side were dumped out of the Champions League in dramatic fashion at the hands of Liverpool. Barcelona have drawn up a three-man shortlist of possible options to replace under-fire boss Ernesto Valverde, according to a report. Valverde's future at Camp Nou is in doubt following Wednesday's shock Champions League exit at the hands of Liverpool, losing 4-0 in the semi-final second leg at Anfield to crash out 4-3 on aggregate. Barca chucked away a hefty first-leg advantage for the secon

Stop Eating Imported Rice, It’s Poisonous – Customs Warns Nigerian Citizens

The federal government has cautioned Nigerians over the unhealthy status of imported rice smuggled into the country. At a media briefing in Lagos on Monday, Lai Mohammed, minister of information, said the government could not guarantee the healthy status of the rice having spent months on the high seas and warehouses. He appealed to Nigerians to complement the efforts of the government by consuming only locally-grown and processed rice which he said “is fresher, tastier and healthier’’. “We don’t know where or how imported rice is made or how old it is. It is reported that most of the rice dumped on us are old and probably rejected. The citizens of those countries do not eat this rice. The citizens of Benin Republic also do not eat it. But they send it to us,” he said. “Unhealthy foods are dangerous to our health. So, let’s eat what we can vouch for.’’ He, however, noted that rice smuggling was the biggest challenge facing rice production in Nigeria. Quotin
