“My first assignment is to put together a team and get appropriation for next year because we have to hit the ground running.
“The focus will not change in terms of infrastructure and education. The added focus will be on job creation and empowerment. That is why I need to focus on the budget and ensure I get enough appropriation to emphasis the social aspects which I promised during my campaigns. We will continue to build roads and refurbish schools. What is important is how to get people to work.”

A source whose relative was among the detained students stated that “upon arrival at Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul, they were all escorted to a room and their passport confiscated by Turkish police.”
The detained Nigerians are mainly students of Fathi University, one of the private universities in Turkey. The school which is located in the metropolitan Büyükçekmece district of Istanbul, Turkey was founded in 1996 with a rela- tively high rate of international students from 102 countries.
“When they enquired why they were clamped in a dirty room, the police said they are students of a terrorist organisation. They offered to transfer them to government schools but on the condition that we will pay same fees as private universities,” the source added.
At least 700 women out of every 10,000 deliveries die annually in

He said Nasarawa State like any other state got $1.5m under the “Save One Million Lives” initiative established by the former President, Goodluck Jonathan.
Today – 1st October is a day of celebration for us Nigerians.
On this day, 56 years ago our people achieved the most important of all human desires – freedom and independence. We should all therefore give thanks and pray for our founding fathers without whose efforts and toil we would not reap the bounties of today.
• 2. I know that uppermost in your minds today is the economic crisis. The recession for many individuals and families is real. For some It means not being able to pay school fees, for others it's not being able to afford the high cost of food (rice and millet) or the high cost of local or international travel, and for many of our young people the recession means joblessness, sometimes after graduating from university or polytechnic.

'It was miscommunication on my end,' the reality star told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show.
I thought they weren't having Chyna at our baby shower. Chyna's baby shower is actually this Sunday, but they were trying to do a little surprise 'guy' baby shower for me and I was just upset trying to fight for Chyna like, 'Yo, she has to be at the baby shower. She's birthing my child. She needs to be there.'
'It was literally miscommunication and I probably shouldn't have went on Twitter, but I did.'
Kylie was forced to change her phone number after Rob's leak.
Pictures sweeping Imgur show how resourceful brides have donned gowns made out of cakes, bedding and tissue paper in a series of eye-popping dresses that had all parts of the female anatomy on show.
Left to right: a gown fashioned from a bed sheet that wouldn't look out of place at a toga party; one woman showcases her blossoming baby bump by cutting a hole in the middle of her strapless gown; a bride ensures all eyes are on her with an eye-wateringly low neckline; and taking the 'meringue' theme to dizzying new heights, one bride pairs a frothy skirt with a billowing train, lacy garter and patent platform shoes. Now see even more alarming photos below, lol.
The heartbroken partner of boxer Mike Towell has told how he 'fought right to the end' before dying from injuries he suffered in a bout. Mike Towell, 25, was stretchered from the ring in the fifth round of his match with Dale Evans at St Andrews Sporting Club fight in Glasgow on Thursday night.
Having suffered severe bleeding and swelling to the brain, the Dundee fighter was taken off of life support and died surrounded by members of his family. Towell's partner Chloe Ross paid tribute to the boxer on Facebook, and revealed the fighter had been suffering from weeks of migraines in the lead up to the bout, putting the headaches down to stress.
In a heartfelt message, she called her partner of eight and a half years her 'annoying best friend' and 'absolute plonker', adding that a part of him would 'be with her forever' because of their young son, Rocco. Among the sport's famous names to pay their respects to the fighter were former world champion Ricky Hatton and promoter Eddie Hearn, while Nick Blackwell - who retired from the support after going into a coma following a fight with Chris Eubank Jr - changed his Twitter profile picture to that of Towell as a homage to the boxer.

And that is the kind of spirit I want to urge you all to carry on. There would surely be light at the end of the tunnel for us, let us not lose hope.

Zuckerberg announced this expressing optimism that the addition has halted the disappearance of some of the added languages.
“Facebook is now available in more than 100 languages — with more than one billion people using a language other than English! Today we added Fula, Maltese and Corsican. Our community makes this possible. Over the last decade, hundreds of thousands of people around the world have worked together to find the right translations for words and phrases in the Facebook interface. Because the idea of a “Like” in English may mean something different in Arabic or Japanese,” he said.
The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has deployed helicopters along the Benin-Agbor Road in search of the kidnapped wife of Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele.
Idris, it was gathered, had also flooded the area with hundreds of police operatives and sniffer dogs in a move to put pressure on the kidnappers.

He also said he received calls from all over the world, stating that he had never received calls that much before in his life.
“I received calls telling me to check Facebook about news of my death. I saw reports of my death and people were commenting. I just laughed. I’ve never received such number of calls all my life. From US, UK, all over the world,” the Atlanta ’96 Olympics gold medallist said. Continue...
Operatives of the State Intelligence Bureau in Kaduna State have arrested three suspects in connection with the kidnap of the wife of a lecturer of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State.
Spokesperson for the Kaduna State Police Command, Mr. Aliyu Usman, an assistant superintendent of police, identified the suspects as Mohammed Tukur, Suleima Auta and Shuaibu Rabiu, all of whom were living behind the ABU campus.
Usman told Saturday Punch that Inusa was kidnapped on September 19, 2016 at her residence in Zaria. He explained that the police launched a manhunt for the suspects after the case was reported and that they were tracked down a week after at different hideouts in the state.
Two weeks ago, Comedian koffi wrote an open letter in which was majorly directed at Kiss Daniel, then he diverted to others, but the letter was actually focused on Kiss Daniel. A lot of his fans and people in the industry reacted to the letter, but Koffi has now explained exclusively to Saturday Beats why he wrote it and says to hell with anyone who does not feel comfortable with it, lol. His words;
“In every vocation, there is a society that protects them. Vulcanizers, conductors, have associations that protect them. Entertainment associations do not protect entertainers. That is how businessmen entered Nollywood, started doling out money and they crumbled that sector. The same thing is happening to the music industry and that is why I shouted. These people bring their money into the business, find young boys to sign to their record labels, then they begin to dictate their career path. Tomorrow if Kiss Daniel does not make it, they would drop him and pick another person. By that time, he would have lost his fan base and interaction with people. Timaya knows how hard he fought to get his career back. J Martins is fighting to get his career back. Continue...

A Federal High Court in Abuja today fixed October 21 for hearing in a suit filed by Abdulmumin Jibrin, a former Chairman, Appropriation Committee, House of Representatives, challenging his suspension from the House.
It will be recalled that the Kano lawmaker was on Wednesday suspended by the House of Representatives for 180 legislative days.
This happened while the embattled legislator’s suit which he filed earlier on August 9, 2016, then seeking a court order to stop any plan by the lower legislative chamber to suspend him, was still pending before the court.
The Abuja Environmental Protection Board, has arrested nine herdsmen and confiscated 25 cows and 51 sheep for illegal grazing in the Federal Capital Territory.
It stated that the herdsmen were penalised by the mobile court which imposed fines ranging from N3,000 to N7,000 on them.
The acting Director of the board, Mrs. Omolola Olanipekun, who disclosed this at a press briefing on Friday in Abuja, added that 589 street hawkers were also arrested and fined by the mobile court.
Responding to questions about the directive from the Chairman, Senate Committee on FCT, Senator Dino Melaye, that cattle found grazing in Abuja, should be slaughtered by the FCT Administration, Olanipekun said compliance with the directive may lead to violence.

The United States of America has congratulated Nigeria as it marks its 56th Independence Anniversary tomorrow, October 1st. According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the US message was conveyed on behalf of President Barack Obama and the American people by the US Secretary of State, John Kerry. It reads;
“On behalf of President Obama and the American people, I congratulate the citizens of Nigeria as you celebrate your Independence Day on October 1.

SaharaReporters has learned that a group of heavily armed kidnappers yesterday abducted Margaret Emefiele, the wife of Nigeria’s Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
A source close to Mr. Emefiele told them that Mrs. Emefiele was kidnapped along the Benin-Agbor Road. Their source disclosed that the kidnappers have made contact with their victim’s husband, adding that they were demanding a huge sum in ransom.
Mrs. Emefiele’s kidnap represents one of the most high-profile kidnap cases in 2016. Their efforts to reach the CBN governor was however unsuccessful.
Tuface Idibia has also joined the team of people saying OOni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi’s humility is next to none and he is such a kind hearted man. The singer who we believe was named ambassador for peace by the Oba (as announced on his record label page) shared the photo above on his IG with the words;
Wowwwww! I must say I've never been blown away in the presence of somebody like this. HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY The oòni of IFE. Such an intelligent and charming human being plus over handsome. Thank u so much for the honour. ONE NIGERIA. VIOLENCE FREE WORLD VFW. NMVA.
They are fine guys, most men in their family are handsome so it’s safe to say they took it from their dad. But one thing many Nigerians can’t stop talking about his their choice of WOMEN! Now note this, these guys love life, they have fun and what have you, but when it comes to their life partners, they chill and take a break and go for a homely girl. Now take a look at the first photo, that’s the popular actor and his wife. The second photo is that of his younger brother who got married this week. See any similarities?
N.B so many ladies have come out to say they have had one or two things to do with Odunlade Adekola (even though people have said he hardly cheats), but his wife has always stood by him, saying she remains with her man. Now back to the gist again, is there anything ladies need to learn? Is marriage more than bleaching, makeup and all dem sexy clothes? Over to you guys…
Happy New Year
