Governor Ayade says Why I’ll no longer appoint older people into my cabinet –


Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State has said that he will no longer appoint people older than him into serious positions of responsibility in his government.
Ayade clocked 52 last March.
The governor was explaining why it was taking him many weeks to name his commissioners and other appointees since he was inaugurated for second term last May 29.
Ayade said it was not in his nature to talk harshly to his elders, the reason he said he was unable to shout at older members of his government in his first term.
“I am looking for younger people to appoint into my government. I will no longer appoint older people. I need younger people so that I can shout at them in order to fast track my government.”
The governor was particular that the new secretary to government will be a younger person. The former, Ms Tina Agbor was much older than the governor just as his deputy, Professor Ivara Esu, who was his former lecturer.
During his pre-inauguration speech in his office, Ayade also said he will not continue with a bogus cabinet of 29 commissioners and over 6,000 appointees.
“I want to work with a cabinet dominated by young technocrats I can be able to talk to and keep them on their toes,” Ayade said so.

Girl from Nigeria: revealed the secret of how she in 50 years looks like on 25. More powerful than...

Girl from Nigeria: revealed the secret of how she in 50 years looks like on 25. More powerful than...goji creamTop story of the month: "The story of my beauty"
Hi there, dear readers. Today, I would like to tell you the story of how I managed to find my beauty far-far-away, and how I was able to bring it back home.
First things first, let me introduce myself. I'm Hanna Tibbots, 47 years old, currently living in Abuja.

This is my story

I woke up one day and when I looked in the mirror, I broke out in tears. My forehead was just absolutely full with deep wrinkles and fine lines - that day was a rigid, cold autumn day, but my heart longed for warmth and light. For some reason, I recalled a story I had read way back in the past about a woman who managed to rejuvenate her face at the specialized spas of Tunis. This former French colony is just full of expert cosmeticians who use great local products to help people. These experts work 2-3 times cheaper than the Nigerian beauticians. I guess this is why Tunis trips are so popular all over the world, including Nigeria too :-)
"I deserve to be beautiful, right?!" - with that in mind, I started to ask around about Tunisian tours. Soon enough, I already got seduced by a 50% off discount trip at one of the travel agencies. To cut to the chase, 2 nights later I booked in to the Bio Azur Spa Center in the peaceful resort town of Hammamet. The local magicians started to do their jobs the minute I got there. I don't want to waste your time with all the stories of algae and mud masks or hydromassage tubes. This isn't the point. I wanted to tell you about the things they did to my face.
The course was designed to be 12 days long. I made a picture of my face to be able to see the difference later visually too. So, back to the story, I was sitting in the luxurious chair of a great cosmetician, enjoying the treatment - it was a great pleasure! Quiet soothing music, spicy aromatic smells filling the air, and a great massage with a unique cream. The whole process took about 15-20 minutes. This went on for 12 days. As for the results, you can see it for yourself in the pictures. Here, just take a look.
The bags under my eyes, the wrinkles, and the fine lines were all gone! 15 years have disappeared completely from my face! I was in shock and awe! My cosmetician was just smiling, she already got used to the reaction of her clients. I asked her the name of the product that was so effective, and she said it is called Goji Cream.
What happened next was pretty much the usual, I flew back to Abuja, and my friends and family just absolutely bombarded me with all the questions! I honestly told everyone about what happened, but deep down... I was sad. Everyone was really happy, but I saw the sadness in my mother's eyes. I knew what was happening. A woman is a woman as long as she's alive - and my mother wanted to become beautiful too. But I cannot send away a 71 years old woman to Tunisia alone. I made enquiries about the cream in the different stores in the city, but no one heard about it...

Turns around you could order the cream from everywhere

Half a year passed, and suddenly - a miracle happened! I stumbled upon a familiar name on the Internet - it was the Goji Cream! I checked it and everything was right. The packaging was different than the one I had saw in Tunisia, but the price was also much lower too. Could it be that the Tunisian people overcharged me for the extra services? Back to the point, I had my doubts, but I still ordered the product! I knew how effective it was, and should it be the real deal, then we can't just simply miss it!
The package arrived in 5 days. My mother and I started the course together. I already knew everything about how it was done. Of course we missed out on the fancy chairs and the great fragrances of that awesome spa in Tunisia, but Goji Cream worked nevertheless. My mother was able to erase 15 years of her face in just 12 days. That's more than one year off each day!!!
This is the fruit of my labour:
I instantly ordered 6 more tubes of cream - for my mother, a friend, and myself. It will surely come in handy, since I have yet to find a better skin care product. The results come really fast. It's simply amazing!
So this is my story. I really hope that my experience will help a lot of people. Women should look gorgeous, regardless of their age!

some Igbo youths fault Ohanaeze, CAN on Buhari’s IOC trip


The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council has said those calling for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari for attending a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Saudi Arabia, are inviting anarchy into the country.
The group’s President-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said this in a statement on Sunday in Abakaliki.
The group said no group had powers to attack Buhari for merely exercising his right to freedom of association.
It said the position of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the Christian Association of Nigeria on the President’s trip was capable of fueling religious war.
Recall that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and CAN had on Saturday criticised Buhari for “disappearing” from the country, 24 hours after he was inaugurated for second term, to attend a meeting of the OIC in Saudi Arabia.
But the Igbo youth body’s statement read, “The leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide is amazed by the call for President Buhari’s resignation by an Igbo platform and the CAN, for attending the OIC meeting in Saudi Arabia.
“It is barbaric for anyone to call for President Buhari’s resignation using Igbo platform, as such rhetoric is capable of plunging the nation into a religious war that will consume the Igbos and other minority groups living in the North.
“We disassociate ourselves from any call for the resignation of President Buhari few days after his swearing in, and urge those behind the call to have a rethink.

“We should be forming alliances and building bridges across Nigeria, instead of creating enemity with our predominantly Northern Muslim brothers. That is what is being unknowingly done and this is capable of igniting religious war and making us and properties preys.”

Speaker of the House of Representatives Dogara seeks Korea’s help to tackle unemployment



Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has urged for South Korea to invest in agriculture and solid minerals to help create job opportunities for Nigerians.
He also said Africa  needed  partnership  with developed nations, not aid.
Dogara  said it was such partnership that would develop the potential of  the continent.
The lawmaker  urged foreign investors to look beyond the oil sector  and explore the opportunities in agriculture and solid minerals with emphasis on agriculture  to help  create jobs  for Nigerians.
Dogara  said  these while receiving members of the Korea National Assembly led by its Deputy Speaker, Mr Lee Ju-Young,  accompanied by the Korean Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Lee In-tae, at the National Assembly on Friday.
He  called for support for Nigeria’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan geared towards sustaining economic growth.
He added that Korea could  exploit the plan to deepen the economic relations of both countries.
He said, “Right now, the balance of trade between Nigeria and South Korea obviously favours your nation.
“It is like you are most interested in the area of oil and that is what South Korea buys most from Nigeria.”

Ohanaeze attacks Buhari over OIC meeting

President Muhammadu Buhari


The  Igbo sociocultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has  slammed  President Muhammadu Buhari for attending a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Countries  in Saudi Arabia less than 24 hours after his  swearing-in for a second- term.
In a  statement by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, the group  said Buhari owed Nigerians an explanation.
Ohanaeze said, “Why immediate attendance of Organisation of Islamic Countries, OIC, meeting in Saudi Arabia a day after his swearing in. Mr President Buhari owes Nigerians that explanation.’’
Ohanaeze said, “This is a secular country and a leader that wants to be a mullah or fanatic is free to resign rather than plunge us into a religious crisis.”
The group  also attacked the Majority Leader of the  House of Representatives,  Femi Gbajabiamila, for  travelling to Saudi Arabia for lesser Hajj.
The statement said, “Femi Gbajabiamila, a born again Christian turned into Muslim  for political reasons is dangerous to our democracy.
“Although people have  a  right to change their religion, the sudden change from a Christian to a Muslim  and his umrah journey to Mecca just to be Speaker is a bad omen.
