IMF Backs Nigeria On Border Closure

TonyGists App 3 Out Now. Download from Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TonyGists.TonyGistsapp He was responding to a question on whether the closure negates the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, AfCFTA.   International Monetary Fund   The International Monetary Fund has backed Nigeria’s closure of its borders with some neighbouring countries over issues bordering on illegal trade. Mr Abebe Selassie, the Director of the African Department at the IMF, gave the position at a media briefing on the sidelines of the World Bank/IMF Annual Meetings in Washington D.C. He was responding to a question on whether the closure negates the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, AfCFTA. Selassie said although free trade was critical to the economic growth of the continent, it must be legal and in line with agreements. “On the border closure in Nigeria which has been impacting Benin and Niger, our understanding is that the action reflects concerns about smuggling that has been taking place. “It is about illegal trade, which is not what you want to facilitate,’’ Selassie said. He said the IMF was hoping for a speedy resolution of the issues as the action was already taking a toll on the economies of the country’s neighbours. “We are very hopeful that discussions will resolve the challenges that this illegal trade is posing. “If the border closure is to be sustained for a long time, it will definitely have an impact on Benin and Niger which, of course, rely quite extensively on the big brother next door,’’ he said. On Wednesday, the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, said the borders were closed to curb illegal trading activities by Nigeria’s neighbours.

Singer Zlatan's Running Battle With Cultists

The scary altercations have, however, not distracted the 24-year-old singer who was nominated in four categories of the Headies Awards holding today.   Zlatan Ibile   Music artiste, Omoniyi Raphael, popularly known as Zlatan Ibile, is obviously having a good year. However, the singer, who is famous for his catchphrase, ‘Kapachumarumarichipaco’, seems to be having trouble with a cult group. Few days ago, a video showed some alleged Aiye cult members attacking Zlatan, during his show at DonRecky Hall, New Jersey, US. A shirtless Zlatan could be seen trying to leave a rowdy hall while some members of his crew formed a tight circle around him, apparently to protect him from being assaulted. The clip also showed Zlatan being shoved hard from the back while a man could be heard appealing to the rowdy audience to remain calm. However, that wasn’t the first time the Illuminati singer had been harassed by suspected cult members. In April, soldiers whisked Zlatan out of the Gateway Polytechnic, Saapade, Ogun State, after some cult members tried to attack him. The scary altercations have, however, not distracted the 24-year-old singer who was nominated in four categories of the Headies Awards holding today. His bromance with superstar singer and DMW boss, Davido, also earned him a loud ovation from fans during the week as he was gifted a customised necklace by the former. An elated Zlatan then took to his Instagram page to appreciate Davido. When Saturday Beats reached out to one of Zlatan’s handlers, Esther Igbuan, she didn’t respond to the calls and messages sent to her phone.

Sexually Transmitted Degrees: 7 Things You Should Know

TonyGists App 3 Out Now. Download from Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TonyGists.TonyGistsapp

Unfortunately, they are also packed with sexual predators and malevolent creatures destroying lives and wrecking destinies.   The term sexually transmitted degrees refers to degrees, diplomas and certificates obtained not by academic or intellectual prowess or capacity but through granting of sexual favours in an academic setting. The term was first used by Ademule David December, 2012 and became recently popular following the undercover report by BBC which exposed some Nigerian Lecturers. Nigerian institutions are populated by fantastic lecturers many of whom labour extremely hard under unfriendly working conditions to transfer knowledge to their students. Unfortunately, they are also packed with sexual predators and malevolent creatures destroying lives and wrecking destinies. In this piece, I have tried to capture all the issues around the sex for grades scandal with the hope that society will rise for up for what is right and make our institutions a place we can all be proud of. 1. The Excuse of Skimpy Dressing Our educational system has become almost useless because sex and money have become a weapon within a system that is meant to groom individuals both in character and learning. While it is true that students of tertiary institutions in Nigeria are legends of provocative dressing, that must never be the yardstick to sexually harass and humiliate them. While not making excuses for the Unclad nonsense and nudity on our campuses, it must be said that if Western students , their South American counterparts and their lecturers can interact without molestation, especially in summer when the ladies wear little to nothing, Nigerian lecturers should not use this excuse. They can wield their moral powers by sending such crazy dressers out of class or their offices, instead of plotting to a sexual collabo. 2. Non Academic Students and Slay Queens Also Harass Lecturers Sexual harassment on campuses is not one sided as many claim , ask any reasonable graduate of Nigerian University and he or she will tell you that Non Academic students who got into the system through “voodoo” means will always use ‘voodoo’ means to secure a degree. Slay queens with nothing but ‘akamu’ in their brains are not left out, they party all night running from one club to the other while their colleagues are taking lectures. Such fellows will be off campus often for weeks spending valuable time with yahoo boys , politicians and money bags . These class of students hound lecturers for grades with offers most cannot resist and blackmailing those who resist sex or money. When results are out they end up with an A or B, thanks to the settling schemes that has become a tradition in our institutions. 3. Course Rep Usually knows everything The class /course representative or captain often knows more than he is ever willing to tell. Having spent more than 10 years in that role, I must assert that female students some times are the architect of their own misfortune. Many of them visit lecturers taking a course at unholy hours often alone to seek for one help or the other. During these sessions they try to use their feminine charm to form a platonic relationship with these lecturers. However, this signal is often misinterpreted by the male lecturers as a signal for a relationship often sexual and when the other party withdraws the green light and takes off often after getting what they wanted, these lecturers feel betrayed and unleash their venom either directly or through their colleagues who are also co conspirators. 4. Demons Posing as Lecturers This category of persons are the ones that insist on seeing the pants of a female student or she will not graduate, no matter how brilliant she is. These group of lecturers have all the blackbook tactics used by lecturers of the underworld. These range from giving a student who scored distinction in a course D or E simply because she refused advances or asking a colleague to out rightly fail her. These lecturers prey on girls as young as 16, many of whom are barely the age of their children or grand children. Have you ever wondered how the exam script booklet of a student suddenly gets missing after she turned down the advances of a lecturer in another department when evidence clearly shows that she signed in and signed out of the exams and all students that took part in the exams submitted their scripts as confirmed by the examination officers? The cabal that molest students are in different departments, they know each other and share these girls among themselves. They often protect each other and go to extreme limits to ensure that they get what they want, it does not matter how many times a girl spills over. 5. Religious cover most times used One of the most disappointing aspects of this trend as we have seen is the use of the religious organizations to cover or commit atrocities. Persons parading as pastors, imams hide under these cloaks to destroy the lives of young people leaving them scarred for the rest of their lives, forgetting that their own children will one day pass through the four walls of institutions like theirs. This practice is more prevalent in polytechnics and colleges of education where students are lured in the name of religion and transformed into sexual slaves by their demigod pastors-lecturers, most times leaving them infected with sexually transmitted diseases. 6. The NYSC Disaster Although this is applicable to both male and female students, it is more rampant among persons who obtained their degrees by the settling schemes in our schools. This group of people are grossly incompetent and many are either unemployable or declared incompetent by their employers after a trial period because they bypassed the necessary training and skill acquisition process during their higher institution days. At the extreme level, you will find a 2:1 graduate of English and Linguistics committing grammatical blunders and malapropisms in every sentence they utter. Some cases are so severe that they cannot even read, write or spell simple words correctly. 7. HIV /AIDS Angle As a disease control specialist I have seen countless cases of HIV Carriers being raped by randy men lecturers and the so called men of God inclusive. One recurring decimal in all these cases is that a randy man on heat will not mind inserting his manhood into the mouth of a viper disguised as a female reproductive organ. Unfortunately, most of our schools have become brothels and centers for breeding criminals, yahoo boys and cultists. This piece will not be complete without celebrating the intellectual capacity of the Nigerian student. History has shown that Nigerian students especially our sisters and daughters have blazed the academic trail since independence. From America to India, from the United Kingdom to Gods own country, Nigeria, the convocation of any institution is never complete without Nigerian ladies carting away awards for academic excellence. This spirit must not be destroyed on the altar of sex, money or ego. History has shown that the Nigerian woman has contributed most when called upon for National assignment than all men combined. As a Nation, we remain eternally grateful to Professor Dora Akuyilli for saving us from menace of fake drugs , to Dr Stella Ameyo Adadevoh for sacrificing her life to save millions of Nigerians from Ebola, and to Ngozi Okonjo Iweala for rescuing us from the bondage of Paris Club Loan. To every Nigerian girl out there, striving legally to earn an education and make a living, your labour will not be in vain.

Onitsha Tanker Explosion Not Ordinary, It's A Terrorist Attack - IPOB Declares

TonyGists App 3 Out Now. Download from Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TonyGists.TonyGistsapp

Indigenous People of Biafra has described the devastating tanker explosion in Onitsha as a terrorist attack. Onitsha tanker explosion According to The Nation, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has described Wednesday Onitsha tanker explosion that claimed lives as terrorist attack. It said nobody should be deceived that such incidents were mere accidents, insisting that it was designed to exterminate Biafrans from the face of the earth. In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB said the repeated mishaps in the southern part of the country were a clear demonstration that they were being clinically executed by certain people. Commiserating with the families of the deceased, the group wondered why such incidents were not happening in certain parts of the country where even the owners of such articulated vehicles hail from. The statement partly read, “With a profound sense of deep sorrow and sadness we commiserate with all the families and communities that lost loved ones over the terror attack in Onitsha on the 16 October 2019. “This is not the first time an articulated lorry or a tanker driven by terrorist laden inflammable liquid has been involved in mass fatalities in Onitsha or other parts of Anambra State. “The story is always the same, it’s either their trailer had brake failure or their tanker exploded, all resulting in massive loss of lives and destruction of individually owned businesses. “We the Indigenous People of Biafra call these callous and wicked acts for what it is- a cowardly terrorist attack designed by those evil men determined to exterminate we Biafrans from the face of the earth and carried out by those that think they are serving a Jihadi cause that will bring about the Islamisation of Biafraland through terrorism. “At a time when herdsmen sponsored are actively engaged in the forceful acquisition of our lands in Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra and Abia, aided by the Nigerian Army under the guise of Operation Python Dance 4, this massive loss of lives and businesses in Onitsha is most unwelcome. “The question we keep asking is, why are there no exploding tankers in crowded streets of Kano, Kaduna or Sokoto? “Why must tankers driven by northerners always explode in the south or the brakes of their trailers always fail in Biafraland? “It is time now for our people to wake up to this new reality of population reduction by those intent on the destruction of the Biafran race”.

Justice Bello said, after reviewing arguments by parties, “the view of this court is that the application for a no-case submission is lacking in merit. It is hereby dismissed.” The judge ordered Metuh to enter defence in respect of the prima facie case already established against him by the prosecution, led by Sylvanus Tahir. Details shortly...

The task force is expected to send monthly reports of its activities to the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe. The University of Lagos has set up a task force to address issues of sexual harassment with a view to stemming the ugly tide. The university’s Principal Assistant Registrar for Communication, Mrs Taiwo Oloyede, said in a statement that the move“is in continuation of the institution’s unrelenting campaign against the menace of sexual harassment and other forms of inappropriate behaviours. The institution recently suspended two senior lecturers exposed in alleged sexual harassment in a BBC investigative documentary video, ‘African Eye’ . The documentary also exposed some lecturers of the University of Ghana, Legon. “The task force has the mandate to examine the extant University of Lagos policy on sexual harassment, receive complaints from faculties, departments and other units concerning matters that border on sexual harassment. “It is to also receive oral and written testimonies from staff and students involved in cases of sexual harassment and recommend appropriate sanction for offenders. “The task force, in addition to other functions, will put forward counselling and other therapies for mitigating the adverse effects of sexual harassment on victims and carry out other duties aimed at eradicating the ugly trend from the institution,’’ the statement read in part. The task force is expected to send monthly reports of its activities to the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe. Oloyede reiterated the institution’s commitment to stamping out the menace of sexual harassment and related offences from its campuses. She noted that the university “would spare no effort in ensuring that it remained a foremost citadel of learning and promoting excellence in character’’.

Lagos Bows To Pressure, Says Killer Cops Will Be Prosecuted

The families of the victims had accused Martins of being an accomplice in the murder of their sons and called for a review of the advice. FSARS officers who allegedly killed two young men The Lagos State Government has bowed to pressure to prosecute four cops, who were involved in the killing of two young men, who were labelled as phone thieves, in the Igando area of the state after it had said they had no case to answer. Inspector Fabiyi Omomayara, Sergeant Olaniyi Solomon, Sergeant Solomon Sunday and Constable Aliyu Mukaila were captured on video shooting dead Segun Sholaja and Ogheneovo Ebobo after they had been arrested and restrained. The clip, which went viral, drew wide criticisms as many called for the arrest and prosecution of the cops. The Lagos State Police Command, in a swift reaction to the outrage, had subjected the policemen to orderly room trial, which found them guilty, and dismissed them and arraigned them for murder. The case file was subsequently duplicated and sent to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions for legal advice. However, the DPP, in its advice dated September 16, 2019, with reference number CB: 3514/LSXD4/Vol.6/31, exonerated the cops, saying the victims were hit by bullets during an exchange of gunfire with the police and taken to the Iba Police Station, where they died of gunshot injuries. In the advice signed by the Director of the DPP, Babajide Martins, on behalf of the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, the DPP noted that the policemen had no case to answer as they acted in self-defence. The families of the victims had accused Martins of being an accomplice in the murder of their sons and called for a review of the advice. However, the Ministry of Justice, on Wednesday said fresh facts had shown that the cops were culpable and would be prosecuted. The statement said, “This is to inform the general public that sequel to a petition received from the families of the late Segun Sholaja and Ogheneovo Ebobo alleging extra-judicial killing of the deceased persons by four personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Moyosore Onigbanjo, has directed the immediate investigation and review of the case. “In the course of the investigation initiated by the office of the Attorney-General/Commissioner for Justice, fresh evidence came to light indicting the concerned policemen. This has necessitated a review of the earlier legal opinion issued and the Attorney-General/Commissioner for Justice has directed that the suspects be charged for the killing of the deceased persons. “The Attorney-General/Commissioner for Justice assures the general public of the resolve of his office to uphold the rule of law in the state.”

We must teach the children to know that life can be decent, because money is not everything. “Here, we have zero tolerance for homosexuality. Immorality cannot be accepted here, same for cultism.
