Video Clip: Impeachment Looms As Kano Assembly Summons Ganduje

Ganduje

The Daily Nigerian, an online Newspaper published the controversial video clip.

Mr Mujtafah Adamu , the Secretary of the seven-man ad-hoc Committee, disclosed this in an interview  on Thursday in Kano.

He said that the committee had invited the governor via a letter of Oct. 31.

“The letter which was signed by the Chairman of the Committee, Alhaji Baffa Danagundi and issued to the governor, is requesting his appearance and to hear the matter from his own perspective.’’

A copy of the letter, according to Adamu, is asking the governor for his statement as part of the proceedings on or before the day of the hearing.

The letter reads in part; “You may wish to appear together with your lawyers for the hearing, and enclosed is the copy of the video clips for your perusal�.

If the Governor is found guilty, he may be impeached, sources among the lawmakers disclosed.

NAN recalled that the publisher of Daily Nigerian, an online Newspaper, Jafar Jafar, who on Oct. 25, appeared before the committee, had insisted that the published video clips were genuine and not a doctored document.

Jafar had during the public hearing admitted his failure to contact the government officials on the genuineness or otherwise of the video clips before releasing it in the media.

The Publisher, however, disclosed that he had received the clips from a top government official,whose identity he refused to disclose.

PDP chieftain lauds South-South Govs for maintaining regional peace

PDP chieftain lauds South-South Govs for maintaining regional peace

The party chieftain urged leaders at all levels in the country to carry followers along and to live by very good examples for peace to reign.

Mr Emmanuel Ogidi, Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), South-South, has commended Governors and other leaders in the oil-rich region for maintaining peace and stability in the zone.

Ogidi made the commendation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Abuja.

He said though only God gives absolute peace, the Governors had consistently reached out to the grassroots.

“First, it is God that gives lasting peace but I must commend the Governors in the region; they are always reaching out to the people, particularly the youth.

“They make information available to the people; they give regular updates on government activities and carry the people along; they do not threaten them or ignore them,� he said.

The party chieftain urged leaders at all levels in the country to carry followers along and to live by very good examples for peace to reign.

Speaking on the progress of the PDP, the chairman said that Nigerians now had very high sympathy for the party, adding that the party hoped to sustain it and win the 2019 elections.

“We assure Nigerians that this PDP will not only redeem its image but improve the lives of Nigerians by the grace of God,� he added.

The PDP stalwart also said that the party would ensure strict observation of the principles of democracy and the rule of law, respect for court orders and the sanctity of human life.

Speaking on the late PDP chieftain, Mr Tony Anenhi, Ogidi said that he learnt a lot form the late elder statesman whom he came to know closely in 2005.

He said that Anenhi had gone through betrayals and disappointments in his political career but that he remained resilient.

According to him, Anenih did not believe in violence and that he was always ready to share his experiences with younger politicians to guide them through their career.

Ogidi recalled that during the PDP leadership crisis, Anenih was one leader who stood out, calling the warring parties for several meetings at his residence to settle the disputes.

“His advice to me that I should always do what is right has kept me going in spite of all the challenges faced in politics.

“Even when he left active politics, though I was taken aback and wondering why he was leaving, but he always made himself available when we needed him.

“He always wanted me to keep in touch, he was that open and sociable irrespective of class. I will really miss him.

“I will say we shall see again at the resurrection, my faith tells me that,� he added.

Take a chilling tour of some of the world's most haunted places

world's most haunted places

Reading about these places alone is guaranteed to make the hairs on your arms stand.

In the spirit of All-Hallows' Eve, we're taking you on a chilling tour of the world's most haunted places.

From abandoned fortresses to gruesome murders, some beings have blurred the lines between the physical and the supernatural, hence choosing to haunt places they once set foot in. These places have become some of the creepiest places in the world, depending on how many ghosts inhabit them or how scary the stories get.

1. Poveglia Island, Italy

 

This island is just as beautiful as it is haunted. A small island located between Venice and Lido in the Venetian Lagoon of northern Italy, Poveglia is a no-go area for most locals in the area. Visiting the island might pose the problem of no local/guide to show you around the area as most are scared to be cursed. Even fishermen are scared to fish in the area. In the 14th century, sufferers of the Black Plague were sent to the island to die and later burnt on giant pyres. During the 1800s, the island served as a mental asylum where patients were tortured and killed.

ALSO READ: Ever heard about the massacred souls that haunt Enugu?

Now, voices and screams from the island, as well as, fleeting shadows have been reported to be heard and seen on the creepy island.

2. Banff Springs Hotel, Alberta, Canada

 

This popular Scottish resort in Canada is considered the most haunted building in Canada. There are three ghosts that have been reported to be seen at the castle. A bride who broke her neck from a staircase fall after she freaked out from her dress being on fire, has been seen in the ballroom dancing with her dress on fire. Room 873 of the hotel has since had its doors bricked up after a family was murdered inside. However, guests have reported to have still seen the family in the hallway outside the room. Also, a former bellman, Sam Macauley, still roams the halls, helping guests up to their rooms and if one tries to make conversation with him or tip him, he vanishes.

3. Myrtles plantation, USA

 

Ten whole murders have occurred in this plantation. In the house, there is a mirror that allegedly holds the souls of Sara Woodruff and her children who had lived in the house a long time ago. The ghost of a former slave, Chloe, in a green turban peers at visitors while they're asleep and has also been photographed. The most spooky sighting is the ghost of a former owner, William Winter, who was reportedly shot on the front porch. Severally, his ghost has been seen writhing from the wound and crawling up the stairs, only to disappear at the 17th step.

4. Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan, India

This fort, also known as "Bhoot Bangla" or "Fort of Ghosts", was built in the 17th century. It contains three storeys for you to explore, including temples, bazars, royal palaces and lots more. However, the fort is said to have been cursed. There are two stories behind the curse. A princess, Ratnavati, turned away the advances of a wizard called Singhia who cursed the palace, condemning the inhabitants to death, without any hope of rebirth. The other story suggests a local ascetic cursed the fort because its shadow overpowered his property. The result of this is that any attempt to build a roof for the fort fails as the roof will always collapse.

5. Castle of Good Hope, South Africa

 

One of the most preserved 17th century buildings in the world, the Castle of Good Hope reportedly has the ghost of a giant dog who pounces on unsuspecting visitors and vanishes into thin air. A mysterious woman, Lady in Grey, has also been seen running around the castle crying hysterically and holding her face. However, the woman has not been sighted since the body of a woman was discovered during excavations.

Hodgson promises Zaha full backing over online attacks

Soccer Football – Premier League – Everton v Crystal Palace – Goodison Park, Liverpool, Britain – October 21, 2018 Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha reacts Action Images via Reuters/Carl Recine 

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has promised Wilfried Zaha the club’s full backing after the forward received racist abuse and threats on social media following his side’s Premier League draw with Arsenal.

Zaha, who has found himself at the centre of an ongoing debate over simulation in recent months, was targeted after winning a late penalty to help secure a 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday.

Hodgson, who left the Ivory Coast international behind nursing a shoulder problem as the rest of the squad headed north for Wednesday’s 1-0 League Cup fourth-round defeat at Middlesbrough, condemned those who had abused him.

“As far as Wilf is concerned, the club will do everything they can to support him in this way,” said the former England manager.

“I don’t think there are many people out there, except perhaps the odd Twitter troll who knows no better, who believe that racially abusing people or threatening people is the right way to go.”

Zaha took to social media to stand up for himself following the Arsenal game and revealed on Instagram Tuesday that the abuse had escalated.

He wrote: “For all the people taking it one step further and being racist and wishing death on my family I wish you and your families the best too x p.s my life is still very good despite your hate.”

Zaha won a late penalty at Selhurst Park when he was caught by Granit Xhaka, with Luka Milivojevic converting the resulting spot kick to earn his side a point.

Xhaka said in a post-match television interview he thought the incident had been a “clear penalty”.

When asked how Zaha was, Hodgson replied: “Well, he was fine the last time I saw him.

“He took a bang on the shoulder at the weekend, which will be fine by the game with Chelsea — it would have been very difficult to have played him today with that knock on the shoulder anyway.

“But when I spoke to him yesterday, he was fine.”

Don advocates effective town and gown relationship

GownA professor of Food Science and Technology, Ladoke Akintola University (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, Nigeria, Isaac Adebayo Adeyemi, has identified carrying out a critical analysis of the current operations in both the public and private institutions and evaluating the merits and demerits of each of the operations within each system as the key to repositioning the educational in Nigeria.

Professor Adeyemi, who is also the chairman, Governing Council, The Polytechnic Ibadan, Oyo state stated this last week Thursday while delivering his valedictory lecture, entitled: “The Ivory Tower: Town and Gown in Contemporary Nigeria,� which was the second in the series of valedictory lectures in the university.

 Speaking further, he said: “From the results of the analysis, it would be feasible to fashion out the way forward at bringing afloat the sinking ship of quality education in the country.�

While he highlighted the historical and emerging trends in town and gown relationships and the tremendous benefits it had brought to universities, particularly in the advanced countries, he emphasised the place of evaluating the town and gown relationship within the Nigerian context and identifying the missing gaps that needed to be addressed in repositioning Nigerian tertiary institutions for global competitiveness.

The principles and ideas of town and gown, he observed had been entrenched in the Nigerian university system as reflected in various forms, adding that “the university organs, academic units, and students bodies, directly and indirectly, have been playing significant roles in bridging the gap between the town and gown.�

ALSO  READ: ‘FG should halt brain drain in mathematics, science and technology’

This he also noted had enabled such bodies to sell the university, faculty, department or unit to the community and the outside world, which tend to strengthen town and gown relationships.

The former, national president of the Nigeria Institutes of Food Science and Technology (NIFEST), reminiscing said serving in this capacity gave him the opportunity to build an excellent town and gown relationship, which he had always found useful in fixing his students for industrial attachments as components of their learning.

Professor Adeyemi, who was also the first deputy vice-chancellor of LAUTECH therefore challenged the management of the institution to take a retrospective look at the university and come up with strategic plan at rebuilding its structures, saying “in doing this  we have to come down from the ivory tower, carry out  internal surgeries and thereafter launder the institution’s image.�

“The university must come up with principles and application that would restore confidence in town and gown relationships. This no doubt would enhance improved levels of funding by the owner states and other relevant stakeholders,� he said.

Is it too much to ask for integrity from Nigeria’s 2019 presidential candidates?

Once again, Nigeria is at that auspicious moment where it is expected to choose its next set of leaders for the next four years across all strata of government. At the federal level, more than seventy individuals are expected to slug it out with the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The scorecard of President Buhari is already public knowledge while many of these candidates have presented themselves as an alternative for Nigerian voters to choose in 2019. That any one of them will be chosen over the incumbent is left to the voting populace.

As a close monitor of the political process, it seems some of these individuals jostling to take over the job from President Buhari in 2019 have not shown themselves to be a better option. While Nigerians are fixated on the non-submission of President Buhari’s WAEC certificate, a news report by TheCable on Wednesday, October 31, 2018, revealed that more than fifty presidential candidates for the 2019 elections did not file their tax returns in the forms they submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Let it be known that non-submission of tax details to INEC is not enough grounds for disqualification from participating in the election but why does this non-submission matters to me? It matters because payment of tax is a compulsory duty by any responsible citizen as this is what the government uses in providing the necessary basic amenities to make life more meaningful for citizens. Tax evasion is a criminal offence punishable under law. That individuals presenting themselves for the Presidential office can’t disclose their tax details to Nigerians means something is wrong somewhere.

There is no rationale for over fifty individuals to keep away their tax details from Nigerians. Considering the fact that they are presenting themselves as a better alternative to the incumbent, they must display uncommon integrity that is worthy of emulation. If they can’t disclose their tax returns as a presidential candidate, how will they enshrine transparency in the handling of the nation’s treasury? This matters a lot and it speaks volumes about their integrity.

Togolese Cook Brutally Murders Lagos Socialite Days After Resuming Work

A Togolese cook has been declared wanted by the police for murder.

The cook, police say, stabbed his boss, Chief Ope Bademosi, to death on Wednesday, just three days after he resumed work at the Ikoyi residence.

Bademosi had reportedly brought him to Lagos from Ondo on Sunday.

The cook, named only as Sunday, allegedly made away with Bademosi’s properties after severally sticking a knife into him.

A witness said the cook strategically played loud music in the house to prevent  Bademosi’s agonising scream from being heard by neighbours.

“In fact, that guy must be a devil itself. He stabbed the man in multiple places,” the witness, who was first to see Bademosi in a pool of blood, said.

“In fact, the music was so loud that even if you were to be killing 20 people here, no one would hear them scream. After committing the act, the guy went to the toilet and pulled off the white uniform meant for cooks he was wearing because it was all stained with blood.”

Sunday also left behind his weapon, which the witness described as “long and sharp”, one that could “only be authorised for military personnel.”

“Afterward, he ransacked the whole apartment and carted away all valuables he could lay his hands on including an unaccountable sum of money, jewelries and the deceased phone,” the witness added.

Bademosi was, until his death, a socialite, and Chairman of Credit Switch Technology.

Police urge anyone with information on his whereabouts to report at a station.
