2019 elections: PDP plotting to operate ‘container economy’ – Tinubu

2019 elections: PDP plotting to operate ‘container economy’ – Tinubu
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was plotting to operate “container economy” if voted into power in 2019.
Tinubu made the allegation while reacting to the Vice Presidential debate.
Speaking at the Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi’s Roundtable entitled: ‘The Imperatives of Building Institutions for Lasting Legacies,’ held at Ibadan, yesterday, Tinubu said the outcome of the debate has shown that the ‘developmental economy’ of APC cannot be compared with the ‘container economy’ of PDP.
The former Governor of Lagos State argued that the developmental economy would take Nigeria to a secured next level of economic prosperity.
He, however, stated that the container economy would return the country to perpetual slavery and poverty.
The former governor also assured that he would support the APC governorship candidate for the 2019 poll in the state, Chief Adebayo Adelabu.
He said: “I saw the debate yesterday, to crown my remarks. You could see the difference between a developmental economy and a container economy.
“Is Oyo State going APC? Oyo State is APC. It is progressive politics. I said in one place before, our Moses has crossed the Red Sea, no going back to Egypt. Success all the way.”
He stated that he did not feel bad if opposition parties in the State associated him with the process that threw Adelabu up as governorship candidate.
“If we do indirect primary again, I will still vote for your (Governor Ajimobi) choice of successor, because reforms, re-engineering, reinvigoration of the institutions can only continue beyond us. If the foundation is bad, the house will crumble,” he said.

5 Most Rugged States In Nigeria

Today we’ll be going through 5 of the most Rugged States in Nigeria. First and foremost let me clear this up for you, Ruggedity doesn’t translate to Violence.
The People of this Seven states might be Rugged but not necessarily violent And life in Nigeria actually needs Ruggedity, but for this 5 States its a way of life . And in Numerical order from 5 to 1 we give you the most Rugged States in Nigeria.
5 Lagos State: owing to its diversity and being Nigeria’s Economic and Commercial capital, Lagos makes this list by Default. I liken Lagos to Newyork City. A large population Of Crazy people why wouldn’t anyone be rugged . Especially in places like Ajegunle, Mushim,Bariga,Ojuelegba,etc
4. Bayelsa: The Dream Jerusalem of the Ijaw Nation, Bayelsa is miles away more Rugged than Lagos which is only rugged in some Neighborhoods, In Bayelsa even the Villages are Rugged From villages like Peremabiri to Amassoma to Yenagoa places like Down Yenagoa , Obele, Amarata, Ekeki, owns Ruggedity in Bayelsa but no other states to fill the Gap so it stays in No.5. Bayelsa is one of the States in the South along with Rivers which has turned Cult OT Slangs like “Wida” into a normal Pidgin Word. That tells you something right? And Most Bayelsans were actually citizens of Places like Boro-kiri Portharcourt, Ajegunle etc when this people came back to Bayelsa coupled with the Effects of Niger delta Bayelsa crises. Ruggedity flows in their Veins.
3 Delta: 10 Gboka for Una. Warri Warri Warri. Una no de karri last kpata-kpata na draw! Normally Delta should have been number two or even one. But this is New Warri not Old Warri. Don’t be deceived Delta is peaceful now. The Warri Crises is far over but still Ruggedity still flows in their veins and they don’t hide it and that’s one reason I love this peeps.
2. Rivers: Home to Port Harcourt which I liken to L.A or Compton. Who no go no know. This state is called Lagos of the South and it can prove it actually is. Rivers is the Father of Bayelsa its to Bayelsa what Edo is to Delta. Its has been a hot Bed of Cultism, Militancy in the past so you know it flows in the Blood. The State still has lots of Serene places but……….
1. Edo : If I forget Baffi wetin I gain? The Ancestral Home of most Nigerdelta Groups. Edo with a population of 8 million people is the Host of the City Benin. Edo is like Delta in everyway but in Ruggedity? The other Four states are learning. In Benin if you’re not Rugged then you’re OYO on your own. Although One can argue it was the Deltans that made Benin Rugged because they were all one once. but Still Twale for Baba!!!!

I Don’t Live Fake Life, I Can Afford Whatever I Want – Angela Okorie

Many Nollywood actresses (and even actors) have often been accused of living fake lives in order to impress people on social media. A lot of them allegedly buy things on credit or claim other people’s property as their own.
However, actress, Angela Okorie, stated vehemently that she didn’t belong to that group. In a chat with Sunday Scoop, she said, “For the people who live fake lives, that’s their personal decision and they should continue living that way (if it pleases them). Why would I live a fake life when I have money to lavish on myself and do whatever I want? Backbiting and envy are normal things in the movie industry. You’re welcome to a world where being fake is a routine. When we see them (people who do such), we know them.”
Okorie, who was recently involved in an online altercation with one of her followers, says she has grown a thick skin to criticisms. “I am used to cyber bullying. Sometimes, I keep quiet. But if someone does something wrong, I have to address it. If I post something and you make a bad comment about it, or you try to shame me, I will give it back to you in the same manner,” she said.

Badmus Akeem O, popularly known as Baddyoosha in the Nigerian music industry and Nigerian top music site, Naijaloaded have gone into partnership to initiate a challenge tagged ‘Who Dey’ to scout for upcoming music acts who need a good platform to break into limelight.
Baddyoosha
The challenge ‘Who Dey’ has been made open to all classes of artistes since December 11, 2018 and will close on December 24, 2018. For any aspiring artiste to take up the challenge, all they have to do is go through four steps and pronto the winner will get a video shoot of any of their song with ace video director, Lucas Reid.
The first step as described by organisers entails downloading the official instrumental via www.naijaloaded.com of the song ‘Who Dey’ (The challenge) with hook and chorus produced by Young John.

The step two entails the artiste making a video with their own version of rap, song or freestyle, using any language of their choice.
The step three enjoins the artiste to upload on Instagram with the hashtag #baddyooshawhodey and also tag and follow @baddyoosha and @naijaloadedcomng.
The step four gives the artiste entry when the artiste repost the flier of the challenge on the page of baddyoosha @babbyoosha.
Over the years the head honcho behind Oosha Empire, Badmus Akeem O a.k.a Baddyoosha has discovered many faceless talents and transformed them into a force to reckon with in the industry. Fondly referred to as Daddy Street, he’s been instrumental to the success of many popular street artistes ruling the scene now.
“Most of these street artistes were known and blown via my influence. I discovered many of them and made people listen to them to give them attention. I don’t want to mention names here but you would be surprised that I was a part of the story of many street singers. So far it has to do with the street, I was the brain behind so many things, but I always kept mute and don’t grant interviews. But everything I’ve done so far is base on my love for the street music itself,” Baddyoosha once said in an interview with Vanguard.
Through this challenge Baddyoosha and Naijaloaded are giving upcoming artistes opportunity of a lifetime by simply dropping their lyrics or vibes, following the steps above and stardom may just be knocking at their doors.

Canelo Alvarez knocks out Liverpools Rocky Fielding in third-round

On Saturday night, Canelo Alvarez viciously went after Rocky Fielding and knocked him out in the third round of their super middleweight title fight at a sold-out Madison Square Garden. Alvarez knocked down Fielding once apiece with left hooks to the body in the first and second rounds, and twice in the third round once with a right hand to the head and again with a left hook to the body.   Referee Ricky Gonzalez stopped the fight at 2:38 of the third round, immediately following that fourth knockdown. Mexico’s Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs), who went off as roughly a 15-1 favorite, won the WBA world super middleweight title from England’s Fielding (27-2, 15 KOs).  Alvarez, 28, fought for the first time at the super middleweight limit of 168 pounds. Fielding, 31, has exclusively competed at super middleweight and light heavyweight (175 pounds) throughout his eight-year pro career.  Alvarez technically became a champion in a third weight class and won the WBA’s secondary super middleweight title from Fielding, though.

Ogun APC governorship candidiate Dapo Abiodun enmeshed in certificate scandal

Billionaire businessman and oil magnate, Dapo Abiodun is currently enmeshed in a certificate scandal. This is according to a report by TheCable. Read below.Dapo Abiodun, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun state, is enmeshed in allegations of perjury over his post-secondary school qualifications, TheCable can report.According to documents seen by TheCable, Abiodun declared only his West African School Certificate (1978) in the Form CF001 that he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on October 23, 2018, ahead of the 2019 general election.However, when he ran as the APC senatorial candidate (Ogun east) in 2015, he claimed to have attended the University of Ife, Ile-Ife (graduating in 1986) and Kennesaw State University, Atlanta Georgia, US (1989) in his INEC form CF001, backed by an affidavit he swore to at the high court, Abeokuta, Ogun state.Curiously, while he listed B.B.A. (hons) accounting as the degree he got in 1986 as at then, he was silent on what he studied at Kennesaw State University.However, in his official curriculum vitae, he claimed to possess another degree, B.Eng (hons) in civil engineering, presumably received in 1989 from the American university.Also, on the website of Heyden Petroleum Limited where Abiodun is MD/CEO, underneath his name were listed B.Sc civil engineering and BBA accounting.If he proceeded immediately to Kennesaw after graduating from Ife in 1986, he would not have finished before 1990 as civil engineering is a four-year course at the university.There are strong suspicions that he did not do the compulsory national youth service, even though he finished his first degree in 1986 — going by the INEC form CF001 that he filled ahead of the 2015 election, supported by an affidavit.Abiodun was born on May 29, 1960 and was 26 in 1986 when he claimed to have finished his first degree. The age limit for national service is 30.Apart from the possibility of having committed perjury either in 2014 or 2018, there is also the possibility that he skipped the compulsory national service, which is punishable under the law.SECTION 13 OF THE NYSC ACT STATES:(1)Any person (b) who refuses to make himself available for service in the service corps continuously for the period specified in subsection (2) of this section, is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of N2,000 or to imprisonment for a term of twelve months or to both such fine and imprisonment.A criminal conviction will also mean the offender is barred from holding public office.SECTION 182 OF THE 1999 CONSTITUTION STATES:182. (1) No person shall be qualified for election to the office of Governor of a State if – (e) within a period of less than ten years before the date of election to the office of Governor of a State he has been convicted and sentenced for an offence involving dishonesty or he has been found guilty of the contravention of the code of Conduct.Earlier this year, he was appointed chairman of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) by President Muhammadu Buhari.In 2012, he was appointed chairman of the Depot and Petroleum Product Marketers Association (DAPPMA), a position he still holds.Abiodun has been having a running battle with Ibikunle Amosun, governor of the state, and the state working committee of the APC over his endorsement by the national body of the party for the 2019 governorship election, instead of Adekunle Akinlade, the governor’s choice.The APC candidate had accused Amosun of plotting to upturn the decision of national working committee (NWC) of the ruling party to recognise him as the guber candidate of the state, while accusing the governor of being “desperate to install” Akinlade at all cost.All calls and SMS to his phone by TheCable went unreplied and unreturned.
