W hether  a Freudian Slip or not, the assertion by an unrecognised presidential aide that President Muhammadu Buhari is shy around women has again captivated the imaginations of Nigerians on the persona of the president. Though presidential spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina was quick to disown the supposed aide, and also deny his claim, the issue has refused to die. However, the facts speak for itself on the issue. Against the estimated 31% involvement of women at the onset of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration in 2011, President Buhari on his part, has started his course with what many are protesting as a miserly 17%. Even worse, the incumbent has proved even more restrained in appointing women into other executive positions. Erstwhile minister in the Jonathan regime and National Women leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mrs. Josephine Anenih says “It really rankles me when Nigerians trivialise important national issues just to divert attention to them. ...

The National Union of Textile and Garment Workers of Nigeria (NUTGWN) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to listen to those advising him to devalue the naira and remove fuel subsidy. The Secretary General of the union, Mr Isa Aremu, made the call in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna. Speaking at an award ceremony in Lagos, Emir of Kano, Muhammdu Sunusi II, who is also a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), had stressed the need for the Federal Government to completely remove fuel subsidy. He also urged the Presidency and CBN to reconsider their stance against naira devaluation. Also, the Emir called on those appointed to serve as ministers under President Muhammadu Buhari to always have the courage to advise him honestly.

Cynthia Morgan and fellow dancehall singer, Burna Boy. The German Juice singer revealed in a chat with Vanguard that she fancies afro pop star, Davido. Recall that a few weeks back she was seen kissing fellow dancehall star Burna Boy in a music video, an act she confirmed as true. She spoke to HipTV on it saying: “ Yes, the kiss between me and Burna boy was real, though we are working together on a project at the moment. The kiss was part of the video we are shooting and yeah, the dude is a talented artiste.” Cynthia Morgan is famed for her eccentric lyrics and persona. She once said she would not be involved in a relationship with a fellow artiste, which is why her recent comment comes as a surprise. Interestingly, she emphasised Davido’s hardworking nature as her reason for crushing on him. She spoke further:  “ Over the years he has been able to prove himself that he is talented and not all about being a rich kid and I think he is cute too.” Morgan also ...

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) raises a rallying cry to all its members, supporters and lovers of democracy across the country to rise up and use all lawful means to resist anti-democratic forces, now using the judiciary and security agencies in their desperate scheme to subvert the will of the people and destroy the nation’s democracy. The party said though it seeks peace, it is not ready to accept the peace of a graveyard, neither is it willing to surrender the mandate freely given to it by the people in any part of the country, particularly in Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Abia, Taraba and other states where it won in the last general elections. “Let it be known, and clearly too, that no matter the strong-arming, threats and manipulations by the APC government, the PDP is not willing to, and will never surrender the mandate freely given to us by the people in states where we won in the last general elections, neither are the people of those states willing to allow sect...

Read below, the personal statement from Barrister Nyesom Wike following the judgement from Buhari's tribunal. Whoever is the tribunal judge that delivered that black market judgement should know that there is no peace for hawks and vultures of People's mandate. Rivers State is 100% a PDP State. There will not be any rerun elections!

Popular Nollywood yoruba actress, Tayo Sobola, few hours ago, posted a photo on her Instagram page which got her followers pissed off that her bleaching went horribly wrong.  Although the actress claimed it was an application she used that gave her face a fair complexion while her feet got black (wonder which application does that), her followers still didn't swallow the excuse.  Lol! see some of the banters below;
