Wife of the Vice President, Hajia Amina Sambo, on Saturday in Abuja, said she would go back to the classroom to acquire more knowledge after the expiration of her husband’s tenure on May 29.

Hajia Sambo, a graduate of Political Science from the Bayero University, Kano, spoke at a ceremony organised in her honour by the Coalition of Nigerian Muslim Women at the National Mosque, Abuja.

The CNMW said they were honoring Hajia Amina and the wife of the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Hajia Aisha Mohammed, for their strive towards uplifting humanity.

The group also hailed them for being pious and not allowing the demands of office to sway them from the right path.

She said there could be times in future when the demand of her academic engagements would not allow her to honour invitations to public engagements.

“I will like to continue to leave my doors open in case you will call on me. In case I say I am having exams (I am going back to school); so, do not be offended, I might be studying, but be assured that I will always be with you,” Hajia Sambo stated.

She added that all was now set for the inauguration of the first Islamic Library in Nigeria, which is located in Kaduna State, urging the women to strive to donate a book each to the facility.

She commended the Muslims for their support for the current administration, and called on them to extend the same hand of fellowship to the incoming administration of Buhari.

The vice president’s wife however begged the women to forgive any real or imagined shortcomings of the outgoing administration, assuring them of her continued support even as a private citizen.

“I want to assure you that on my part, in my own little way, I will continue to be of service to humanity. I will continue to help the less-privileged in the society, the downtrodden, the physically challenged, and most importantly, to my Deen. Please, always pray for the incoming administration,” she said.

Another Nigerian Man Arrested In Thailand For Drugs Trafficking (Photo)

This is so embarrassing! Why can't Nigerians stop this drug trafficking for crying out loud! This is too bad!
Onyejiekwe Morgan Chinemerem, 29, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police in his rented room in Bangkok for masterminding the sale of crystal methamphetamine and cocaine.

The charges leveled against him include the possession of crystal methamphetamine (31.47g) and cocaine (889.63g) with the intention to sell. The police got tips that Nigerian men living on the 9th floor of Building 17 of the HR Residence have been involved in the sale of hard drugs.

They do this by hiring a Thai man, who was identified only as ‘M’ as their courier/delivery boy. Thus, the police set up a sting operation that involved police informant getting across to M asking him to purchase the crystal meth and cocaine from him.

M then told the Nigerian men that a customer would like to buy 30g of crystal meth and 200g of cocaine for about $14k (almost N3m). M led the detectives to the room of the Nigerian men to buy the drugs and it was there the police found two Nigerians in the room. Once the police identified them, two Nigerians ran out of the room, one fled the scene.

Chinemerem was arrested at the stairway and later confessed that he and his friend were responsible for smuggling the drugs to sell mainly using post parcels.
