The Police in Cross River have arrested a staff of Cross River Ministry of Education for allegedly conspiring with others to steal a trailer load of text books worth millions of naira.
Mr Hafiz Inuwa, the State Commissioner of Police, told newsmen in Calabar that the text books belong to the Ministry of Education.
Inuwa said the suspect was arrested on the Ikom-Ogoja highway while heading to Lagos with the items for disposal.
He also said the suspect was arrested along side the truck driver and a Lagos-based businessman.
“The items included cartons of French, Christian Religious Knowledge, Physical Education, Welding and Technical drawing text books belonging to the state government,’’ Inuwa said.
He said that upon investigation, the police discovered a shady deal between some staff of the Ministry of Education and their accomplices to dispose off the materials without the approval of the state government.
A Minna Magistrates’ Court on Friday ordered the remand of a labourer, Samaila Bala, over alleged kidnap of a six-year-old boy.
Bala is standing trial on a three-count charge of conspiracy, theft and kidnapping.
The prosecutor, Insp. Abdullahi Maiyaki, had told the court that one Mr Shehu Abu reported the matter at the Sarkin Police Station on December 24, 2017.
Maiyaki said that the accused and two others, now at large, invaded Abu’s house, kidnapped his six- year-old son and absconded with him to an unknown destination.
He said that the suspected labourer and the others released the boy after 10 days in captivity.
The prosecutor said that the accused had previously stormed the complainant’s house and carted away two cows and four sheep.
President Donald Trump has questioned why the U.S. would want to have immigrants from Haiti and African nations, referring to some as “shithole countries,” according to two sources familiar with the comments.
Trump’s remarks, made in the White House, came as Democratic Senator Dick Durbin and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham briefed the president on a newly drafted immigration bill being touted by a bipartisan group of senators, according to the sources, who asked not to be identified.
Sources said government officials were present during the conversation.
The lawmakers were describing how certain immigration programs operate, including one to give safe haven in the United States to people from countries suffering from natural disasters or civil strife.
One of the sources who was briefed on the conversation said that Trump said, “Why do we want all these people from Africa here?
“They’re shithole countries … We should have more people from Norway.”
The second source familiar with the conversation, said Trump, who has vowed to clamp down on illegal immigration, also questioned the need for Haitians in the United States.
Many Democrats and some Republican lawmakers slammed the president for his remarks.
Republican U.S. Representative Mia Love, a daughter of Haitian immigrants, said the comments were “unkind, divisive, elitist, and fly in the face of our nation’s values”.
Love called on Trump to apologise to the American people and to the countries he denigrated.
Another Republican Representative, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who was born in Cuba and whose south Florida district includes many Haitian immigrants, said: “Language like that shouldn’t be heard in locker rooms and it shouldn’t be heard in the White House.”
Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, a frequent Trump critic, said the president’s comment “smacks of blatant racism, the most odious and insidious racism masquerading poorly as immigration policy.”
In an apparent response to his critics, Trump took to Twitter late on Thursday night.
Trump tweeted: “The Democrats seem intent on having people and drugs pour into our country from the Southern Border, risking thousands of lives in the process.
“It is my duty to protect the lives and safety of all Americans. We must build a Great Wall, think Merit and end Lottery & Chain. USA!”
The programme that was being discussed at the White House is called Temporary Protected Status.
In November, the Trump administration decided to end the status for immigrants from Haiti and Nicaragua.
It gave the approximately 59,000 Haitian immigrants who had been granted the status until July 2019 to return home or legalise their presence in the U.S.
Nicaraguans were given until January 2019.
On Monday, Trump moved to end the status for immigrants from El Salvador, which could result in 200,000 Salvadorans legally in the United States being deported, beginning in September of 2019.
Uber and Careem, a Dubai-based ride-hailing app, is planning to hire no fewer than 10, 000 female drivers in Saudi Arabia by June 2018.
CNN reported that the companies have already launched training sessions targeting Saudi women who have already obtained driver’s licenses from abroad.
Female customers currently represent the majority of Uber’s rider base and its local counterpart, Careem, the report said.
In September 2017, Saudi Arabia announced in a royal decree that it would allow women to drive, ending a long-time policy in the Middle Eastern country.
Currently, all drivers employed by the two ride-hailing firms are male, and many working Saudi women spend much of their salaries on drivers or must be driven to work by their male relatives.
U.S. President Donald Trump canceled a visit to London scheduled for early this year, saying he was disappointed with the “Obama administration having sold” the U.S. embassy in the British capital.
“(The) reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for “peanuts,” only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars,” Trump said in a tweet late on Thursday.
However, the embassy website showed that the decision to move the location was taken months before Barack Obama took office in January 2009.
The U.S. Embassy & Consulates in the UK said in October 2008 the embassy would be relocated for security reasons.
“Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!,” Trump said on Twitter.
The Daily Mail earlier reported the cancellation of Trump’s UK visit in which he was expected to inaugurate the new embassy.
The U.S. is leaving behind an imposing 1960 stone and concrete embassy in London’s upmarket Grosvenor Square, an area known as ‘Little America’ during World War Two, when the square also housed the military headquarters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The new embassy on the South Bank is a veritable fortress set back at least 100 feet (30 meters) from surrounding buildings, mostly newly-erected high-rise residential blocks, and incorporating living quarters for the U.S. Marines permanently stationed inside.
The one billion-dollar-edifice, overlooking the River Thames, was wholly funded by the sale of other properties in London. (Reuters/NAN)
Mr Sidney Osahon, 35, Engineer from Edo, who won the ‘Give ‘n’ Take N20 million’ National Jackpot Bonanza said, his landlady almost ejected his family hours before he won the lottery.
Osahon, who disclosed this at a news briefing organised by Give `n` Take National Lottery in Abuja, said he was threatened by his landlady on his way to claim the prize.
He said that his family was being threatened by his landlady before he received the call that changed his life.
He said, “My mother is still alive, my father passed on last year. So we couldn’t pay our rent and we were almost thrown out of our house.
“My landlady gave us quit notice. As I was coming out to claim my prize she sent a text message that she will soon be at the house to give me a show down.
Osahon revealed that he had been playing the Give `n` take National lottery from the beginning in June 2017, but just got lucky now.
“Last week Sunday while watching the jackpot, and I saw my ticket number, I was in tears, I told God that I was tired of embarrassment of rent and I am moving into my house.
“The interesting thing about this win is that there was another bonanza draw the first one, I did not win. But the person who won apparently did not show up to pick his ticket.
“What this means is that if the person had showed up, I wouldn’t have been the winner, but God just got it for me. Today I am twenty million naira richer.
“The whole thing is like a dream but I am living that dream. I say a big thank you to Give ‘n’ Take national lottery; they have changed my life for good. Now I am a landlord,” he said.
In his address, Jolly Enabulele, Managing Director, Give ‘n’ Take National Lottery, said the N20million lottery prize from available records is the biggest in the history of lottery in Nigeria
He added that a winner emerged for the N20 million bonanza of National Jackpot after 29 weekly Rollover.
“Today we are bold to inform you that so many millionaires have been made in this lofty venture of giving back to the society through lottery business and good courses.
He noted that the bonanza was done to reward the loyal players who trusted the brand and identified with it since its inception in June 2017.
He added that the cheque will be officially presented to him on Sunday, January 14 during the live National Jackpot Game show by the Director-General of National Lottery Regulatory Commission.
Studies have found Viagra which is the trade name for Sildenafil Citrate to have dangerous side effect on both short term and long term use.
They Include;
Stroke and Heart Attack
It affects the gastrointestinal tract and Genito-Unrinary tract.
Psychological Dependency
Abnormal Vision
Muscle pain and Back pain.
And if you are still stuck in Viagra as a solution for Premature ejaculation then let me give you this personal advise..
Quit Viagras and use a natural approach because Viagras don’t cure premature ejaculation on the long run. You are only opening yourself to various health risk.
Let me explain most of these side effects.
Stroke and Heart Attack
Short-term serious side effects of Viagra are strokes and heart attacks. Vascular side effects are seen in long term users of Viagra, such as, cerebrovascular hemorrhage and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). Cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart), arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), and heart palpitations have been reported.
Gastro-intestinal and Genito-urinary systems
Viagra affects the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract and the genito-urinary tract (GU). Long-term use can increase the frequencies of dyspepsia and intestinal problems, such as, diarrhea and gastritis.
Additional side effects can include issues relating to urinary tract functions, for example, incontinence, increase risk for urinary tract infections, and cystitis. Some reports of anorgasmia or the inability to ejaculate, including abnormal ejaculation, have been documented.
Psychological Dependency
Long-term Viagra use can increase the potential to develop psychological dependency.
An article published on Biopsychiatry.com, dated April 2004, in the Anchorage Daily News, cited that men who do not have erectile dysfunction problems are taking the drug for recreational purposes and are at risk for developing psychological dependency for the medication.
This is the reason I will chose a one time treatment for Premature ejaculation anytime any day.

The Kaduna State Government plans to spend N33 billion on capital projects in the education sector in 2018.
This figure is contained in the state’s 2018 budget obtained from state Planning and Budget Commission.
The document indicated that the amount was however lower than the N44.8 billion budgeted for the sector in 2017.
A breakdown of the figure shows that N20 billion would go to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and N13 billion to State Universal Basic Education Board ( SUBEB ) and tertiary institutions.
The ministry is expected to spend N6.3 billion on school feeding programme in public primary schools, Islamiyya, and Quranic schools, as well as the 31 boarding secondary schools in the state.
The N6.3 billion was less than the N14.7 billion allocated to the programme in 2017.
According to the document, primary and secondary school rebuilding and equipping programme would gulp N5 billion, while the Global Partnership for Education was allocated N1.9 billion as against N2 billion in 2017.
The document indicated also that the education ministry in partnership with Islamic Development Bank (IDB) would spend N761.7 million on the construction of six science secondary schools in the state.
Also in the document, N1 billion would be spent on supply of furniture in secondary schools across the state and N511 million on the provision of school uniforms.
“N377 million was earmarked for teacher development programme, a joint project with United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID).
“Procurement of science equipment will cost N177.8 million, N400 million for procurement of books, and N2.3 billion for fencing of government-owned facilities.
“N138 million was allocated for the construction of computer laboratories and supply of 20 desktop computers each to 50 secondary schools.
“N50.2 million was set aside for development of three Computer Based Test centres, one each in the three senatorial districts,’’ the document added.
According to the document, N50 million will be spent on the supply and installation of LGP tanks, burners, and industrial boiling pans in 29 boarding secondary schools.
It also indicated that N14 million was allocated for the construction and equipping of a multipurpose workshop at the headquarters of the education ministry.

“Development of scientific glass technology got N2.5 million; while technology-based school management solution services got N120 million.’’
For tertiary institutions, the budget provided N2.1 billion to Kaduna State University (KASU); N1.5 billion to College of Education, Gidan Waya; N670 million to Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria and N110 million to College of Midwifery, Kaduna.

The Controller-General, Nigerian Prisons Service ( NPS ), Mr Ja’afaru Ahmed, has decried the influx of awaiting-trial inmates in the nation’s prisons.
Ahmed raised the concern at a media briefing after a facility tour of Dukpa Prison Farm Centre in Gwagwalada, FCT, on Wednesday.
Represented by spokesman of the Service, Mr Francis Enobore, the NPS boss said the situation was a potential threat to efforts to de-congest prisons nationwide.
“Although the population of inmates awaiting trial shows a considerable reduction, the rate of influx, if care is not taken, will sooner than later make a travesty of the present decongestion effort.
“Some state task forces arrest minor offenders like street hawkers and even those without proof of means of livelihood and send them to prison without a corresponding mechanism for further care and support.
“Managing this category of inmates has always been fraught with risks and myriad of problems even with the deployment of large toll of Service’s human and material resources,” Ahmed said.
He reiterated the NPS’ call for alternative custodial punishment through the domestication and implementation of the 2015 Administration of Criminal Justice Act by states.
As of December 15, there were 48,527 awaiting-trial inmates nationwide, representing 66 per cent of a total prison population of 72,384, according to the NPS.
Ahmed also raised concern over the “rejection of ex-convicts by members of the society,” noting that it was pushing former inmates back into crime.
“It is sad that the sanctimonious attitude of some relations of offenders has remained a bane in ex-convict reintegration into the society.
“These offenders often return to crime due to continuous discrimination and unfriendly disposition of members of the society.
“We believe that ex-offenders that have served term in the prison have received due punishment for their wrongful behaviour and therefore should be forgiven so that the circle of criminality can be broken,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Dukpa Prison Farm Centre, operated by the FCT Command of the NPS, fetches the Federal Government N3 million annually, according to the officer in charge, Mr Benjamin Jatau.
Leading journalists on a tour of the facility, Jatau, an Assistant Controller of Prisons, said the revenue was generated from the sale of products of the farm.
He stated that the facility, established in 2006, was one of the 17 integrated farm centres run by the NPS nationwide.
According to him, the farm which sits on 27 hectres of land in Dukpa community, Gwagwalada Area Council, was designed to teach inmates vocation in poultry, cattle rearing, fishery and piggery.
“Besides, we grow some crops, mainly rice and maize, and then we have some subsidiary crops like soya beans.
“All these activities are done by the inmates under the supervision of staff and professionals.
“The aim of the farm is to affect the communities around on cropping techniques and modern livestock farming methods,” he said.
Jatau said the that every season the farm produced between 40 and 6o bags of maize, including Quality Protein Maize, “which is good for diabetes patients”.
Ibrahim Abdullahi, one of the inmates held at the farm, said the facility was more of a school than a detention/labour centre.
Abdullahi, who is serving one-year jail term since July, state that he had learnt a lot of farming skills which he intended to put to use after his stay in prison.
The German Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Bernhard Schlagheck has pledged to collaborate with the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution ( IPCR ), to strengthen peace building and other interventions to mitigate conflicts in Nigeria.
According to a statement by the IPCR Media Officer, Michael Abu, on Wednesday, Schlagheck made the pledge in Abuja when he visited the Director-General of the IPCR, Prof. Oshita O. Oshita.
Schlagheck who expressed concern over the spread of dysfunctional conflicts in the country, expressed his willingness to support all conflict management activities especially as they relate to the 2019 general elections.
Oshita in his remarks said that the Institute in collaboration with the German Embassy would embark on series of intervention towards peaceful 2019 elections.
He said that IPCR was open to creditable organisations and entities for collaboration for peace building activities including various interventions for conflict resolution.
The DG said that the institute in collaboration with the Embassy would train journalists on peace journalism in the monitoring and coverage of elections.
“IPCR will train of a number of media practitioners from all the geopolitical zones of the country on peace journalism and conflict-sensitive reporting,” he said
The DG said that the intervention would also include election conflict management for Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) officials and others handling various aspects of the election processes.
He added that the Institute established the National Peace Academy to build capacities in the country and Africa to support the Infrastructure for Peace and to encourage the spread of peace ambassadors and practitioners.
He said that the Institute was already putting up election conflict management programme, countrywide peace campaigns and sensitisation programmes to ensure peace during the 2019 general elections.
Oshita expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing Chairman and members of a Governing Council for the Institute for the first time.
He stated that through this, the Institute would be properly mobilised and supported towards fulfilling its mandate for peace promotion and conflict resolution in Nigeria.
