  Waking up to news about so many natural disasters happening around the world has been extremely devastating. The most recent ones that struck me were 'Hurricane Harvey' in Houston Texas, the mudslide's in Sierra Leone, and now the flooding in Makurdi. Many families have lost everything, and even worse, many lives have been lost.  I've once lived as a refugee, and I know what it means to work for something, and lose it all in the blink of an eye. Hence my decision today, to donate. Starting with the most recent and nearest, I will be donating the sum of 500,000 Naira and another 500,000 Naira on behalf of The Juliet Ibrahim Foundation, to the Makurdi flood victims. I am also using this opportunity to challenge my fellow colleagues, friends, and fans tojoin in. Let's help out by donating to this cause. #MakurdiFloodReliefChallenge  I need my friends to step up to the challenge. Once you've accepted the challenge, simply post or tweet stating you have accept...

The Nigeria Farmers Group and Cooperative Society, on Tuesday urged the federal government to set a time line to ban the importation of maize into the country. The group’s National Coordinator, Redson Tedheke, said in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja that the suspension of the import would protect local farmers and encourage massive production of the commodity. According to him, unchecked importation of maize remains a major threat to local production and President Muhammadu Buhari’s agricultural revolution drive. He said local farmers must be protected to invest more, so that Nigeria would become self-sufficient in maize production. “The federal government must set an immediate time scale to ensure that maize is not imported within months, like was done with rice. “You cannot tell people to go to farm and then allow massive importation of the same thing they are conveniently producing. “We feel that is insincerity of purpose, and we are telling gove...

This is getting out of hand....  “The worst mistake Buhari ever made was to arrest me. I will break the zoo into pieces. I am taking IPOB to Abuja on the 17th of next month for my court case.

Speaking with members of Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) yesterday, the leader of the group Nnamdi Kanu alleged that we all have been  deceived by the Presidency, as the man presently ruling the country is not President Buhari but a Sudanese national who had undergone plastic surgery in order to look like President Buhari. “I can stand and prove who I am but Buhari cannot do the same thing. The man you are looking at on the television is not Buhari. His name is Jubril, he is from Sudan. After extensive plastic surgery, they brought him back. They taught him Buhari’s mannerisms and he came back deceiving all of you. He cannot deceive Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB,” he said.
