Angel

Despite the fact President Muhammadu Buhari has not signified interest in seeking re-election in the 2019 Presidential election, the Minister of Communications, Alhaji Adebayo Shittu, on Wednesday, January 3, who rated the president’s performance high says he must run again.

Shittu said this in an interview with State House correspondents shortly after a meeting he had with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The minister said those of them who he described as the President’s ardent supporters would prevail on him to seek re-election.


He said they would help Buhari to make up his mind so that Nigeria can continue to enjoy stability and progress.

Specifically on whether the President will contest, Shittu said, “It goes without saying. I mean if you have a child who goes to primary school and he does well; he proceeds to secondary school and he does well, and you keep asking if he will be going to university. It goes with out saying.

“By the grace of God, we his (Buhari’s) ardent supporters who appreciate his worth on behalf of millions of Nigerians would urge him to re-contest.

“I know he has not made up his mind but I can say that some of us can assist him in making up his mind so that Nigeria can continue to enjoy stability and progress in our land.”

Officials from Ukraine and abroad report that the spouse of the country's top military intelligence officer is hospitalized due to what appears to be heavy metal poisoning. Western officials have been suspicious from the start that Russian agents may have paid off a staff member to carry out the poisoning. Marianna Budanova is the wife of Kyrylo Budanov, whose military intelligence agency GUR has been heavily involved in Ukraine's efforts to drive Russia from its territory. According to test results, Ukrainian Defense Intelligence staff members have also become ill, and Ukraine is looking into the matter, said agency spokesman Andriy Yusov. Chief of the toxicology division at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Dr. Edward Boyer, stated that it is impossible to determine the likelihood that any of the victims were purposefully poisoned without knowing more about the test results and patient history, including symptoms and possible food exposure. It's going to be ...

Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Vote Casting Restrictions

 The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld balloting restrictions in Arizona in a decision that could make it more difficult to challenge other voting limits put in place by Republican lawmakers following last year's elections. The court, by a conservative-majority 6-3 vote, reversed a lower court ruling in determining that Arizona's rules on who can return early ballots for another individual and for the state's refusal to count ballots cast in the wrong precinct are not racially discriminatory. The federal appeals court in San Francisco had held that the measures disproportionately affected Black, Hispanic and Native American voters in violation of a part of the landmark Voting Rights Act regarded as Section 2. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the conservative majority that the state's interest in the integrity of elections justified the measures. The court rejected the concept that displaying that a state regulation disproportionately affects minority voters is sufficient t...

The Residence Of Prince Andrew's Accuser In The United States Is At Stake In Her Sex Abuse Case Against Him.

In a court filing, Virginia Giuffre's legal team called Prince Andrew's lawyers' decision to halt her lawsuit a "transparent attempt to postpone discovery into his own records and evidence." The Queen's second son has been accused of sexual assault, which he denies. Lawyers for the woman who has accused Prince Andrew of sexual assault have dismissed allegations that her lawsuit against him cannot proceed because she is not a US citizen. The Duke of York's lawyers demanded last week that the legal lawsuit against him in Manhattan be postponed or dismissed since his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, lives in Australia. She is claimed to have spent all but two of the previous 19 years there. In a court statement on Thursday, Ms Giuffre's team described Andrew's lawyers' decision to halt the lawsuit as a "transparent attempt to postpone discovery into his own records and evidence." Ms Giuffre, formerly Virginia Roberts, has accused Andrew of for...

In The Attack Hoax Case, Jussie Smollett Was Sentenced To 150 Days In Prison

After a jury convicted him guilty of lying to police about being the victim of a hate crime, Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in prison. After fabricating false claims about the hoax attack, the former Empire star, 39, was convicted guilty of five counts of felony disorderly conduct in December. The punishment also includes 30 months of probation and restitution and fines totaling $145,000 (£110,000). "I did not do this!" Smollett exclaimed after the sentence. The case came from a three-year-old incident in which Smollett said he was attacked by two people. While walking late at night in January 2019, the actor, who is black and gay, alleged the attackers shouted racial slurs and a Trump slogan at him, dumped a "chemical substance" on him, and tied a noose around his neck. Authorities launched an investigation, but Smollett was charged with filing a fake police complaint in February of that year, stating he orchestrated the incident. Last year, a jury of si...

After officials from both nations gathered in Geneva for high-stakes negotiations, Russia told the US that it has no plans to invade Ukraine. Both sides agreed to continue efforts to decrease tensions following a seven-hour meeting on Monday. Following the talks, however, there was little hint of a substantial breakthrough. Around 100,000 Russian troops are thought to be near the Ukrainian border, raising concerns of an assault and eliciting warnings from the West. If Russia attacks Ukraine, the US has stated that sanctions will be imposed. Meanwhile, Russia has urged the United States not to "underestimate the risks" of its confrontation with the West. Following the discussion, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters, "We conveyed to our colleagues that we have no plans, no ambitions to attack Ukraine." He stated that the Russians had informed their American counterparts that "all steps for combat training of soldiers and forces are carri...

 ENGLAND captain Harry Kane last night stated they can beat Scotland on Friday evening — and then go on to win the Euros. The Three Lions striker, 27, believes they have “a top notch opportunity” to raise the trophy on home soil — whilst cooler temperatures at Wembley tonight will be a relief. Kane revealed it was a childhood dream to lead England to its first major trophy since 1966. He said: “Of course we trust we can win it. We additionally understand it hasn’t been achieved for our country for a long time and there’s a lot of challenging work alongside the, hopefully, seven games that we play. “From my point of view, of course it’s been a dream since I was a child to win a tournament and lift a trophy with England and to have that chance now is exciting.” He added: “It’s very uncommon to have a home tournament and for me personally this is as close as it’s going to get. We’ve got to attempt to use that to our advantage.” The aspect roasted in last Sunday afternoon’s 1-0 win ove...

The United Nations Has Condemned A Deadly Air Strike On A Yemeni Prison

The United Nations has criticized a Yemeni detention center air strike that killed more than 70 people. On Friday, a facility in Saada, a stronghold of the Houthi rebel organization in northwestern Yemen, was attacked. The "escalation must cease," UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in a statement. The Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen denied carrying out the air strike in a statement on Saturday. The coalition further claimed that the site was not on a UN-approved list of targets to avoid, and that the Red Cross had not notified it. Since 2015, Saudi-led coalition forces have been fighting Houthi insurgents. As a direct result of the war, tens of thousands of civilians have been killed or injured, including over 10,000 children. Millions have been displaced, and a large portion of the population is on the verge of starvation. Rescue workers were still hauling dead out of the rubble hours after the air hit, and prospects of finding survivors are dimin...

Danielle Thornton was waiting for her children in the school pick-up line when she discovered she might have to choose between getting the Covid-19 vaccine and losing her nearly nine-year employment at Citigroup. She and her husband had been watching for months as bosses around the United States imposed vaccine mandates, knowing that their family would be affected. Then it arrived in the form of an email on her phone "We had a lot of discussions about it," she admits. "However, in the end, we concluded that our liberty was more important than a paycheck Danielle is one of thousands of people in the United States who have chosen to forfeit their jobs rather than receive the Covid-19 vaccine.
