Security expert explains why VP Osinbajo cannot attend national security meetings for now

Security expert explains why VP Osinbajo cannot attend national security meetings for now

 
 
A security expert has explained why Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has so far not been allowed to attend any of the national security meetings President Buhari has had with Service Chiefs since he assumed power. On June 2nd and yesterday June 10th, President Buhari met with the Service Chiefs without Osinbajo and this has led to some media houses reporting that the Vice President was "locked out" from the Defence House, venue of the meetings.

A security expert explains why the pastor and lawyer can't be allowed into such meetings for now. See that after the cut...

The security expert explaned that Vice President Osinbajo is not a trained military officer and so it will take the military some time before sensitive intelligence can be shared in his presence. He also made reference to the Vice President's affiliation to Tinubu. What he said below...

"I am sure he would have been invited if he had security background. Being a Professor of Law is fine, but in terms of intelligence and access to security information, you are nowhere near the rank of Colonel or equivalent in the Nigeria Military. Look, I have watched some footages that if the VP gets to see, he would lose appetite for days. Now, we have someone who has been in luxury virtually all his life, attaining the position of VP and some people are clamouring for his presence in highly sensitive talks. The truth is that the military hierarchy would not even feel comfortable saying some things in his presence. I can tell you that they respect Prof. Osinbajo as VP but they cannot trust him with information yet.
You cannot compare him to Buhari who served in many military roles, chased away a militia that was threatening Nigeria security, overthrew a military government, became Head of State, fought corruption and went ahead to instill discipline among a stubborn citizenry. The VP would have to go through what is called ‘Stimulation’. This is a process where he is lectured on terms, dealings, operations etc. of the military. His inner strength, strong heart and ability to keep things to himself will first be put to test before he gets access to some classified materials and information. We must understand the fact that Osinbajo was a candidate promoted by Bola Tinubu (ex-Lagos Governor), he was not handpicked by Buhari. If the President had picked a vice, it is likely that such individual may get the access Osinbajo isn’t getting now. Everyone knows the VP has been loyal to Tinubu for decades and he cannot swear that he would not divulge details of these security meetings to his political godfather. So he has to earn it. Tinubu may have used his influence to put him in this position but he must draw a line between blind loyalty and national duty.” he told Daily Independent

  Imagine!!! Nigerian teacher stabbed by his 14yr old student in Bradford


Nigerian man Vincent Uzomah, 50, from Nkwerre, Imo state was stabbed this morning June 11th at Dixons Kings Academy, Bradford by his 14 year old student after a quarrel over a mobile phone.

According to reports, Uzomah, a Supply teacher who had worked at the school for just a month was stabbed after he attempted to seize a mobile phone from the student who was using it during science lesson. Uzomah was stabbed in the stomach with a kitchen knife after a shouting match with the student who then scaled the fence in the school and escaped.

Uzomah was rushed to the hospital where he's said to be in stable condition. The boy has since been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is currently being held in Bradford City Centre

Port Harcourt refinery commences operation by the end of June - NNPC

Port Harcourt refinery commences operation by the end of June - NNPC


The Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr Joseph Dawha today said the refinery in Port Harcourt will start refining petroleum products by the end of this month. Dr Dawha made the announcement while inspecting some petrol stations in Abuja today. He said;
"Presently, the refineries are undergoing rehabilitation and we are undertaking what we call a new strategy to carry out the turn around maintenance on them. Basically, what this means is that we are carrying out phased implementation of rehabilitation of the refineries. We are taking the refineries unit by unit and carrying out turnaround maintenance on them. So in other words, if the maintenance are being carried out on the run and we started a couple of months ago.  
Most of the refineries have advanced to a certain stage where they will be able to operate very soon. For example, the Port Harcourt refinery, which has reached an advanced stage, will start receiving crude by end of this month and then of course will start contributing to the available products in the country.”he said Dr Dawha denied claims that the oil corporation abandoned the four refineries in Nigeria - 2 in port harcourt, one in Kaduna and one in Warri “I’ve heard some people say we have neglected the refineries, no, farther from that. 
We hope that at the end of the exercise, these refineries will be fully back into operation and we will minimise some of the problems we have with importation. We decided that if the refineries were not in good state to process crude for maximum gain, then there was no point sending crude to the refineries. 
Therefore what you do is to try and fix it so that by the time you start processing the crude, you will get real value for the crude you are sending to the refineries. We are satisfied with the level of work that has been carried out so far in the Port Harcourt refinery, so that if you start processing crude now you will get real value."

See the British woman arrested for upsetting mountain gods with her nudity 

 
A British woman has been arrested in Malaysia for allegedly posing naked on top of a sacred mountain and upsetting mountain gods, causing a 5.9 magnitude earthquake on the mountain last Friday June 5 which killed 18 people. Eleanor Hawkins is being held with four other Westerners while they are investigated for indecent behaviour. The five face possible prison sentences. How do you blame an earthquake on someone's nakedness? Some things you hear eh...

Metro UK reports
They are believed to be part of a group of 10 people who stripped naked before taking photos at the peak of Mount Kinabalu on May 30 – an act which a senior minister in Malaysia has blamed for causing an earthquake that killed 18 climbers last week.
 
 
Miss Hawkins, a 23-year-old Southampton University graduate from Derby, was detained on Tuesday at Tawau airport as she was flying from the Island of Borneo to the capital, Kuala Lumpur.

Her father, Timothy Hawkins said last night: ‘We spoke to her this morning. She’s okay, she’s very scared, she’s very upset. She’s been arrested. It’s not a situation she’s been in before so it’s not good.
‘We’ve talked to the consulate and arranged a lawyer.’

 
 

Mr Hawkins, who runs a mechanical engineering business, said his daughter is ‘obviously in the photos’ but he did not want the situation to be ‘blown out of all proportion’.
‘It’s fair enough to charge for the misdemeanour committed,’ he said. ‘What we don’t want is her lumbered with further charges.’

After a 5.9 magnitude earthquake hit the 13,400ft-high mountain on Friday, Sabah deputy chief minister Joseph Pairin Kitingan blamed the tragedy on the tourists for showing ‘disrespect to the sacred mountain’ by posing naked at the peak.

He has said a special ritual will be conducted to ‘appease the mountain spirit’ after 18 people were killed in the disaster.

Holly Madison opens up about having suicidal thoughts at Playboy mansion

Holly Madison opens up about having suicidal thoughts at Playboy mansion

 
 
Holly Madison who was Hugh Hefner's number 1 girlfriend along with Bridget and Kendra Wilkinson reveals in her new tell-all, 'Down the Rabbit Hole': Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny that she was so miserable when she lived in the mansion that she attempted suicide.
In the book, out June 23, Holly explains that dating the Playboy mogul, "a man who was old enough to be my grandfather," drove her to despair.

 
 
 
Facing homelessness in Los Angeles, the aspiring actress and model turned to Hugh Hefner and the Playboy Mansion for sanctuary, she reveals.
It was 2000 when Madison, now 35, first met Playboy magnate Hefner, now 89, at a mansion party and soon befriended his girlfriends.
Despite having been told that only Tina Jordan, Hefner's then-No. 1 girlfriend, slept with him, Madison soon discovered what actually happened behind the doors of Hefner's bedroom.

Madison recounts how Jordan first ushered her into a bathroom, where all the girlfriends sat with their feet dangling in a black marble bathtub. She was then led into the bedroom and given pink flannel pajamas to wear – along with the rest of the girls.

The girlfriends, Madison says, all hated the bedroom routine "and tried to get it over with as quickly as possible."

Madison was told to "fake" everything.

"When I think about it now, it's almost comical. Every red-blooded American male has no doubt fantasized about what went on in Hugh Hefner's bedroom with his harem of blond bombshells. The answer? Not a whole lot," Madison says.

As one of a slew of girls who would get intimate with Hefner during any given evening, Madison writes, "My turn was over just as quickly as it had started." There was zero intimacy and no kissing.
 
 
 
She recalls lying in the bath at the Playboy mansion in 2002 contemplating drowning herself. "If I just put my head under water and take a deep breath in, it would all be over," she writes. "I wondered, would anyone even miss me?"
 
"Maybe it was the pot and the alcohol, but drowning myself seemed like the logical way to escape the ridiculous life I was leading."
For anyone who tuned into the reality show.. The Girls Next Door, it seemed like Hugh's seven gals had a lavishly fun life, but according to Holly they were all actually "vacant," and just "going through the motions."

"Everyone thinks that the infamous metal gate was meant to keep people out. But I grew to feel it was meant to lock me in."

Holly said that Hugh, now 89, cultivated a hostile environment in which the women were pitted against each other.
When Holly ultimately decided to leave, she says in her book that Playboy Enterprises tried to bribe her to stay by offering to put her in Hef's will.
"The will stated that $3,000,000 would be bestowed to Holly Madison at the time of his death (provided I still lived in the Mansion). At the time, it was more money than I'd ever know what to do with … But I didn't want it. I actually pitied him for stooping to that level," she said.
Holly is now happily married with a 2-year-old daughter, Rainbow, who she hopes will someday read her book.

"I want her to understand why I made the choices I made," Madison told Us weekly. "And hopefully learn from them and not make stupid mistakes herself."

NASS ELECTION: 28 APC Senators Walk Out Of Senate Session

  NASS ELECTION: 28 APC Senators Walk Out Of Senate Session

 
 
Members of the Barnabas Gemade -led Senate Unity Forum have threatened to take a legal action against the emergence of Bukola Saraki on Tuesday as the President of the Senate.

They told a news conference in Abuja on Wednesday that the election of Saraki did not follow due constitutional procedure.




They addressed the journalists after walking out of the Senate chambers when Saraki overruled Gemade and Kabiru Marafa while questioning the process that produced the new Senate leadership.

Saraki had administered oath of office and allegiance on 28 All Progressives Congress lawmakers, who were absent at the inauguration of the Eighth Senate but when plenary commenced, Gemade and Marafa raised a point of order on the issue.

Gemade, a former Peoples Democratic Party national chairman, demanded full integration of the SUF members who were absent from the formal inauguration on Tuesday.

He said,
“I will like to appeal to the President of the Senate that driving for a united Senate, it would be reasonable to accommodate everyone. But if the desire is not to accommodate all, then you are heading for a divided Senate. 
“That would not be good for your leadership, for the senate as a whole body, and it will also not be good for the nation. It behoves on you, Mr. President, that due recognition must be given to all concerned.”
Marafa, who raised a point of order protesting the way and manner Saraki emerged as the Senate president, demanded full investigation.

He said,
“The news was that the Senate was inaugurated with 57 senators while 51 senators-elect were absent. 
“The news portrayed me and many of my colleagues as irresponsible members of this hallowed chamber. That we were absent from an event that was announced and which we were to attend with our spouses and well wishers, showed us as irresponsible people. 
“That caused unwarranted embarrassment to me and other members of this Senate and our family members. I want to put it on record that after the swearing in today (Wednesday), I was handed down Senate standing orders as amended. 
“I want to say that as an active member of the former Seventh Senate, I cannot recall where and when the Senate orders were amended or tabled for any amendment or corrections. I think it is worthy of notice that this act was perpetrated and the Senate should call for a full investigation of what happened and where this document emanated.”
After they were overruled, the 28 senators, including the APC choice candidate for the Senate Presidency, Ahmed Lawan, went to address journalists. They did not return until the session rose.

Gemade,who spoke for the forum, said that 51 senators were denied the right to take part in the election of Saraki because they were at the International Conference Centre in Abuja for a scheduled meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said the group had resolved to challenge the “ illegality” in court “since it takes two-third of members to impeach the Senate President, two third of the members should also, have been in attendance before he(Saraki) was elected on Tuesday”

The Benue State-born lawmaker, said, “Our right to participate in the election of the Senate President is a constitutional right which cannot be taken by any person or group of persons.

“The Clerk of the National Assembly (Salisu Maikasuwa), knowing full well that the quorum for election of the Senate President was not met, went ahead to conduct an election that shut the door against about 51 other senators. This will remain unacceptable until what would meet democratic parameters is done.

“The insinuations in some quarters that we boycotted the election is totally unfounded. As loyal party members, we would take all necessary political and legal means to strengthen our democracy and democratic process in line with the change that we promised our teeming supporters during our electioneering.”

Gemade insisted that the election of Saraki was null and void because “a quorum was not formed , which should be two-third of the senators present.”

He said, “53 senators were out and the remaining 56 were not enough to elect the President of the Senate. That is a clear position that we take. We are not considering the attendance of that day to connote the quorum in the Senate because many Senators came there after the event was done.”

Saraki had after his election on Tuesday administered oath of office and allegiance on 75 senators.

When he was elected, there were 23 APC senators and 34 PDP senators in attendance. But when the election of his deputy(Ike Ekweremadu, a PDP lawmaker) was being conducted, the number rose to 75.

But at about 8.30pm on Wednesday, Gemade, Lawan and 26 other members of the forum gathered at the Senate chamber waiting for Saraki to formally swear them in as senators.

The senators, after the votes and proceedings of the previous legislative day were adopted, took turn to take their oaths by reading it out aloud and appending their signatures.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Like Minds Senators, Dino Melaye, has clarified that former Senate President, David Mark, was not sworn in as the Majority Leader of the Senate as reported by the media (The PUNCH not inclusive).

He said, “It is not possible for a minority senator to be a Majority Leader. What happened is that out of respect for the former Senate President, he was sworn in as an individual instead of the groupings that took place. So, we are using this opportunity to correct the erroneous impression out there that he was sworn in as the Senate Leader.”

The Kogi State indigene also dispelled reports that 12 APC senators joined the PDP to elect the new Senate President.

“That is totally baseless and not true. To start with, not all the 49 senators of the PDP were present when the election of the Senate President took place. This is malicious, capricious and there was no voting in the case of Senate President,” Melaye said.

He described as untrue, reports that 54 senators were present during the inauguration.

“That is totally baseless and not true. To start with, not all the 49 senators of the PDP were present when the election of the Senate President took place,” the lawmaker added. 





APC May Sanction Atiku And Tambuwal (Read)

APC May Sanction Atiku And Tambuwal (Read)

 
 
Over the outcome of the National Assembly elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC)  may introduce sanctions against Atiku Abubakar, the former vice-president of Nigeria, and Aminu Tambuwal, the governor of Sokoto state.

According to sources within the APC, Atiku allegedly colluded with Senator Bukola Saraki to undermine the will of the party.

Meanwhile, Tambuwal, who is the immediate past of speaker of the House of Representatives, supported Yakubu Dogara who emerged as Tambuwal’s successor.

The Punch reports that the suspicion of the APC leadership was reignited when after emerging as the head of the Senate Saraki paid a visit to Atiku, apparently to thank him.

Another source within the party, who pleaded for anonymity, revealed that the APC was aware of moves by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to secure key positions in the National Assembly. That was why the party chose Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila as its candidates for Senate president and speaker respectively.
“We started keeping tabs on Atiku in January when he showed that he was not interested in the success of President Muhammadu Buhari, when Buhari was our presidential candidate. Our fears were reignited when the then President Goodluck Jonathan paid Atiku a visit shortly before the elections.
“A large section of Atiku’s supporters defected to the PDP a day after that meeting with Jonathan and that was why Jonathan’s special adviser on political Aaffairs, Rufai Alkali, said shortly after that meeting that Atiku would soon return to the PDP. Atiku even admitted himself that he did not attend Buhari’s rallies.
“Don’t you find it curious that the first person that Saraki visited after emerging as Senate President was Atiku? We have information that Atiku told his supporters in the Senate to vote for Saraki and that was what happened. We know that Atiku is still nursing a presidential ambition for 2019 and he is now beginning to build blocks,” the source said.
The source further stated that the APC had evidence that Tambuwal supported Dogara so that he (Tambuwal) could retain influence over the lower chamber of the National Assembly.
“Tambuwal is also nursing a presidential ambition and needs to retain control over the House. He will not be able to retain such influence if Gbajabiamila is the Speaker,” he added.
When contacted, Mallam Imam Imam, the media aide to Tambuwal, declined to comment over the allegations

For children breastfeeding offers a wide variety of health benefits, including increased intelligence, decreased likelihood of contracting middle ear infections, cold and flu resistance, lower risk of childhood onset diabetes, decreased risk of asthma and eczema, dental problems, obesity, developing psychological disorders and a tiny decrease in the risk of childhood leukemia.

Former President Jonathan's Campaign Chief Arrested

  Former President Jonathan's Campaign Chief Arrested

One of  former president Goodluck Jonathan's campaign coordinators during the last presidential elections, Aminu Abubakar, was remanded in prison custody today, June 10, Premium Times reports.

Abubakar, chairman, Goodluck support group, was thrown into custody by an Abuja high court over allegations of blackmail leveled against him.

He was arraigned in court alongside Okechukwu Geoffrey by the independent corrupt practices and other related offences commission on a three-count charge under the penal code for extortion and conspiracy to extort from innocent persons.

Abubakar and Geoffrey were said to had some vital documents relating to some officials of the federal ministry of petroleum resources in their possession, with which they used to blackmail with threats that the documents were going to be published except they were paid the sum of N25million naira.

Reacting to the charges, the lawyer representing the duo, E. A. Egbedu, challenged the court’s jurisdiction to entertain the case while calling for the charges against his clients to be thrown out. But the prosecuting counsel, George Lawal, objected and said the application was premature.

The court, however, examined the possibility of dropping the charge with its jurisdiction under challenge, as canvassed by Egbedu, without prejudice to the right of the defence, ordered the accused plea to be taken.

The presiding judge, Ishaq Bello, adjourned the case till July 9. He also said the accused bail application will be taken on June 11.

Following their loss at the 2015 elections, the PDP has been enmeshed in crisis across the states. The chairman of the Lagos state chapter of the PDP, Tunji Shelle, had also been relieved of his duties for misusing election campaign funds.
