Nigerian President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari while receiving a delegation of people who came to congratulate him from his home state, Katsina has given them and the whole of Nigeria that under his government state resources will be handled with care and looting will not be condoned.

Buhari said savings from his war against corruption would be ploughed into education with the objective of empowering citizens.

Boko Haram bombs Gombe motor park, 20 killed

No fewer than 20 persons have been reportedly killed after suspected Boko Haram members attacked a bus station in Gombe.

The latest attack, which occurred on Thursday also left 15 people injured, according to AFP.

This renewed attack is coming barely five days after the successful conduct of the 2015 presidential poll.

An indigene, who gave his name as Muhammad Garkuwa, told newsmen that the incident occurred around 8pm.

His words, “We had an explosion outside the motor park (bus station) this evening around 8:30 pm (1930 GMT) which killed five people and injured 15 others.

“The explosion was from an explosive left by a woman in her handbag beside a bus waiting to convey passengers to Jos.”

Another food vendor, Yusuf Darazo, also confirmed the report.

He said, “No-one suspected her. People around assumed she was making calls before the bus filled up.

“As she was talking on the phone, she moved away from the bus towards a row of kiosks, as if she wanted to buy something, leaving her bag where she was standing.

“She disappeared and the bag exploded soon after, setting the bus on fire. I saw five dead and several injured.”

Meanwhile, the defence headquarters was yet to react to the development at the time of filling this report.

UPDATED: Kano INEC Commissioner, family die in mysterious fire incident

The Kano State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Alhaji Abdullahi Minkaila has been killed in a mysterious fire outbreak.

The deceased was burnt along with his wife, Zulaiha and two children, Aisha and Asmau, in an inferno when his residence was engulfed by fire early Friday morning.

The late Minkaila and his family were rushed to the Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital where they gave up the ghost Friday morning.

Spokesman of the Independent Electoral Commission, Mallam Garba confirmed the incident.

He said the bodies of the victims were already being conveyed to the late Commissioner’s native Dutse in Jigawa, for burial, in line with Islamic tradition.

Similarly, the Public Relations Officer of the Kano State Police Command, Magaji Majiya, confirmed the sad incident.

According to him, the fire might have been caused by a spark in the family’s generator set at about 4a.m.

He said the fire later spread to other parts of the house and that the INEC Commissioner and his family tried to escape through the window of one of the toilets in the building but were blocked by a burglary barrier.

Majiya said the State Police Commissioner, Ibrahim Idris, and the Deputy Police Commissioner in-charge of Criminal Investigation Department (CID), arrived the scene almost on time.

They were the ones that rushed the INEC commissioner and his family to Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital, where they were confirmed dead.

Neighbours, however, wonder how a generator spark led to the kind of fire that engulfed a whole building killing all occupants.

Minkaila presided over last Saturday’s presidential and national assembly elections in Kano.

How TB Joshua Predicted Kenya Terror Attack

As the world joins the nation of Kenya to mourn the nearly 150 victims of a brutal massacre by Al-Shabaab terrorists at Garissa University College, a YouTube video has sensationally claimed that Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua predicted the attack several years ago. 

The short clip, uploaded by the YouTube channel of Emmanuel TV, shows the controversial cleric addressing his congregation on Sunday 11th March 2012.

I have a message for Kenya now,” Joshua begins. “It is not yet over because I am seeing school children being targeted.”

The cleric, who has allegedly predicted several previous attacks perpetrated by Al-Shabaab militia, continues, “They attacked in a school - a situation where you learn something happened to the children. A touch on the children is a touch on God. They should pray fervently."

T.B. Joshua has gained a large following, especially in Africa, mostly due to the popularity of his Christian television station Emmanuel TV. His YouTube channel has 165,000 subscribers.

The clips description ends with a prayer: “We pray that God would strengthen and comfort the people of Kenya and all those involved in this tragic incident, in Jesus' name.”

French President Congratulates Buhari; Invites Him To Paris To Discuss Trade Expansion With Nigeria

The President of France, Francois Hollande has felicitated with Nigerian President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari. The french President placed a call to Buhari in the early hours of today, 2nd, April 2015.

A statement by the French Embassy in Abuja, said the French leader congratulated Buhari on his success and noted the generally smooth electoral process, which solidifies Nigeria’s democracy.

“The French head of state assured the President-elect of France’s wish to continue the close relationship that existed with his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan and reiterated France’s support for Nigeria and its neighbors in their efforts to combat the terrorist sect Boko Haram,” the statement added.

Hollande also expressed his wish to expand trade between France and Nigeria and invited his Nigerian counterpart to Paris.

South East loses out in producing Nigeria's next Senate President

According to political analysts, the South East has lost the opportunity of producing the next Senate President or the Speaker of the House of Representative in the Gen Buhari-led administration come May 29th. According to political calculations, anyone who is to occupy these positions must come from the ruling party. Since the number one and two positions have already been taken by Gen Buhari a Hausa man and Prof Osinbajo, a Yoruba man, the Ibos were favored to produce the third key official, the Senate President.

But with all the 15 senatorial seats in the South East states of Anambra, Abia, Imo, Enugu & Ebonyi won by the PDP in last week's elections, the Ibos may have lost out in producing the next Senate president. Senator Chris Ngige representing Anambra Central senatorial district who many believe was being positioned by the APC to be the next Senate President lost his bid to return to the Senate to PDP's Uche Ekwunife.

Epic Throwback Of Ibrahim Babangida & Abdusalami Abubakar When They Were Youths – PHOTO!

Nigerian political giants, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdusalami Abubakar have been friends from their youthful days and are still friends till this day.

Here's a little information about the two of them, just for those who are not very familiar with them.

General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (born August 17, 1941), also known as IBB, is a retired Nigerian Army officer who was the military ruler of Nigeria. He ruled Nigeria from 27 August 1985, when he overthrew Major General Muhammadu Buhari in a coup, until his departure from office on 27 August 1993, having annulled the elections held on June 12 that year. General Babangida was a key player in most of the military coups in Nigeria (July 1966, February 1976, December 1983, August 1985, December 1985, & April 1990

General Abdulsalami Alhaji Abubakar (rtd.) was born 13 June 1942) is a Nigerian general who was President of Nigeria from 9 June 1998 until 29 May 1999. He succeeded Sani Abacha upon Abacha’s death. It was during Abubakar’s leadership that Nigeria adopted its new constitution on 5 May 1999, which provided for multiparty elections. Abubakar transferred power to president-elect Olusegun Obasanjo on 29 May 1999.

Buhari Vows To End Boko Haram Within Two Months

President-Elect, Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to wipe out Boko Haram within two months when he resumes office. The APC politician told Christiane Amapour from Abuja last night in an interview with CNN.

“We know how they started and where they are now and we will rapidly give attention to security in the country. And I believe we will ef­fectively deal with them in two months when we get into office. We will be needing the cooperation of neighbour­ing countries such as Cam­eroon, Chad and Niger. There were efforts made by the President Goodluck Jonathan administration, but it was not good enough and it came rather late

We expected the Federal Gov­ernment four years ago to sit down with these coun­tries andmake sure they do not allow the terrorists free movement across bor­ders, training facilities and movement of weapons. These were only done a few months ago and we have seen how Cameroon, Chad and Niger are fighting Boko Haram more than Ni­geria is doing until recently. Really we have seen enough and we have enough law enforcement to face Boko Haram squarely.”

Buhari said the military didn't perform as well as they should have because of corruption in the system

“They will…if you re­call, the Nigerian soldiers out of all ethical expecta­tions were granting inter­views to foreign journalists, saying they were being sent to fight terrorists without proper weapons. And then the National Assembly attempted to conduct a hearing to find out how much money was approved for training and weapon in the last three years but that hearing was scuttled by the administra­tion.”

Mercy Johnson Reveals Her Husband Asked Her To Cook For Him The First Day She Visited Him

Mercy Johnson is a superstar actress and she's one of the several Nollywood stars that are happily married and happy with kids.

In a recent interview with Leadership, the actress speaks on her marriage, relationship with husband and how she managed to make it work. Read excerpts from the interview below:

There is a general notion that actresses do not make good wives. Do you agree with this submission?

Well, I can only speak from my own perspective and when I say my perspective, I mean from my personal experiences, marriage and relationship with my husband. One of the biggest lies anyone can tell himself/herself is using one or more random experiences to judge and stereotype others. We all have our different stories to tell. I have two children for my husband today and he has not stopped talking about how down-to-earth I was yet I am an actress; not just any actresses. I had a large following at that time yet I did not go around pouting my lips or playing the snub.

My husband later confessed to me that for him, it was love at first sight but that did not stop him from asking me to cook for him the first day I set foot in his house. At first, I was stunned that a Nigerian man was asking me to enter his kitchen to cook him a meal.

A part of me whispered to me that perhaps, he was not aware of who I was and when I said to him: ‘You must be joking. My name is Mercy Johnson’. What shocked me even more was his response when he said: ‘I know’. Rather than take offence, I was drawn closer to him. We have been married since 2011 and we love each other to bits till date and have consciously decided to spend the rest of our lives together. As I said earlier, I am an actress who is correcting the rigid stand that actresses cannot have happy homes when they get married. Also, bear in mind that there are several Nigerian actresses like me who are happily married. Having a happy marriage is a choice a woman has to make. When you decide to have a happy marriage, you focus your thoughts, actions, words, work and everything else around protecting that happiness.

What do you think is responsible for the high divorce rate among celebrities?

In marriage, you must have trust and you must also have love. The moment you lose these two, then it is just a matter of time before you embark on a calamitous countdown towards the end of your marriage. My relationship with my husband has been very special. He is not just my husband or father of my children. He is my friend

Apart from love and trust, what other secrets would you attribute to the stability of your marriage?

I don’t even have to think about it. It is honesty. I remember the words of my pastor to me even before we got married. He advised me never to have a marriage built on lies and I listened. I don’t lie to my husband. We have agreed to tell the truth to each other regardless of how painful or scary it might be. I remember one instance when I found myself crying when I had to tell him the truth. That day, I had attended an event wearing a lovely dress that had a slit but unfortunately, at that event, the paparazzi captured a wrong image of me. I picked up my phone and I don’t think I have to tell you who I called first. My husband, of course, and guess what? I was crying and sobbing even before I started talking to him because I felt really bad about it. Rather than lie to him, I told him the complete truth and it helped in no small measure. I remember him asking how bad it was and I remember telling him that it was really bad. I sent him the photo and he consoled me. That is what a husband who is also a friend does. He did not rub it in my face, insult me, make me feel bad or dent my self-esteem. He was there for me when I needed him and he has not stopped till date. This is one of the reasons I do not hide anything from him. He loves me just as passionately and as fiercely as I love him and I have no doubt in my mind that our marriage was ordained. God had a hand in it and that is why everything just works out between us. That is the only thing I can consider the secret of our love story, which continues to blossom. I have two children, an amazing husband and millions of fans who have held my back over the years and of course, God who has watched over my affairs from the very first day I arrived in this world till this moment.

Jega set to quit as INEC chairman

Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega, has declared that he is not interested in another term when his current tenure expires in June.

Jega was appointed by President Goodluck Jonathan in 2010 to replace Prof Maurice Iwu.

Speaking in an interview with the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC Hausa) Thursday night, Jega said having played his role in the political space for five years, it was time another person to contribute his or her own quota.

He said: “I am grateful to God. I was asked to come and contribute my own quota to the national development and I have done my bit to the best of my ability.

“Whatever assignment one will do for five years – just like this difficult one, to me if one is able to successfully accomplish the task, someone else should be given the opportunity, because for me I am not interested and if I am requested to serve again, I will not do it, by God’s grace,” Jega said.

He pointed out that the introduction of the card reader device in the 2015 general elections had significantly helped to make the presidential election transparent, adding that challenges recorded would be looked into in the forthcoming governorship/state assembly elections.

On the allegations of bias against him by PDP chieftain, Mr Godsday Orubebe, at the National Collation Centre in Abuja on Tuesday, Jega said he was unperturbed because he knew he had nothing to hide.

“I maintained my calmness because I knew all the allegations were false. There is nothing that frightens me or disturbs me because, of all our actions, we have explanations for them,” he added.

Please, let me stand on existing protocol.

At exactly 5:15 yesterday (Tuesday) evening, President Jonathan called to congratulate me on my victory. For this, I want all Nigerians to join me in congratulating and appreciating Mr President for his statesmanship. President Jonathan was a worthy opponent. I extend my hand of fellowship to him. I look forward to meeting him soon, as we plan the transition from one administration to another. He will receive nothing but cooperation and understanding from me, who led this nation to democracy. You stood in line patiently for hours; in the rain, in the sun and then in the dark to cast your votes. Even when the vote was extended to Sunday in some places, you still performed your civic duties.

You did so peacefully. You voted with your heart. Your vote affirms that you believe Nigeria’s future can be better than what it is today. You voted for change and now change has come. INEC has released the official result of the Presidential Election. INEC has declared that I gained the most votes with the required spread and won this election. In a more profound way, it is you, Nigerians that have won. The people have shown their love for our nation and their believe in democracy. The declaration of INEC accurately reflects the will of the people.

While there might have been some logistical obstacles and irregularities associated with the exercise, the result shall stand as what the people want. I thank all Nigerians who have made this day possible, our country has now joined the community of nations that have used the ballot box to physically change an incumbent president in a free and fair election To me, this is indeed historic. Most people will welcome the result because it is the one they voted for. Others will literarily be disappointed. I ask that we all be circumspect, respectful and peaceful in these times. This was a hard-fought contest. Emotions were high.

We must not allow them to get the better of us. This is not the time for confrontation. This is a moment that we must begin to heal the wounds and work toward a better future. We do this first by extending a hand of friendship and conciliation across the political divide. We hope and pray our friends in other parties reciprocate. I thank all the members of the All Progressives Congress, the APC, for their commitment and their hard work through the formation of the party, the campaigns and the presidential elections. Let me equally express my appreciation to the media, civil society and security agencies for their selfless service.

The international press and our friends abroad deserve a fair commendation for their support throughout the process. We promise a robust and dynamic engagement with your countries in matters of mutual interest. In the interim, I call on all Nigerians to be law abiding and peaceful. The eyes of the world were focused on us to see if we can vote in a peaceful way and carry out elections in an orderly manner. We have proven to the world that we are a people who have embraced democracy and a people who seek a government by, for and for the people.

We have put one party state behind us. We have voted for a government that will serve and govern, but will never rule over you. CHANGE has come and a new day and a new Nigeria is upon us. The victory is yours and the glory is that of our nation, NIGERIA. I will make a more formal address to the nation, later in the afternoon after I receive the certificate of return from the INEC.

May God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Nigeria’s President Elect
Muhammadu Buhari

2015 Election: Barack Obama Praises Jonathan, Buhari

President of The United States, Barack Obama has praised President Jonathan and his successor Muhammadu Buhari on their commitment to non-violence throughout the campaign.

Obama also said he looks forward to working with Jonathan for the rest of his tenure while also urging Buhari and GEJ to repeat their calls to their supporters to continue to respect the election outcome.

His full message below

The last few days have shown the world the strength of Nigeria’s commitment to democratic principles. By turning out in large numbers and sometimes waiting all day to cast their votes, Nigerians came together to decide the future of their country peacefully. I commend President Goodluck Jonathan and President-Elect Muhammadu Buhari for their public commitments to non-violence throughout the campaign. President Jonathan has placed his country’s interests first by conceding the election and congratulating President-Elect Buhari on his victory.

I look forward to working with President Jonathan throughout the remainder of his term, and I thank him for his many years of service and his statesmanlike conduct at this critical juncture. I urge President-Elect Buhari and President Jonathan to repeat their calls to their supporters to continue to respect the election outcomes, focus on unifying the country, and together lead Nigeria through a peaceful transition. Nigeria’s Independent National Election Commission (INEC) and its Chairman, Attahiru Jega, deserve special recognition for what independent international observers have deemed a largely peaceful and orderly vote.

I commend INEC for its extensive efforts to increase the credibility and transparency of the electoral process. Looking ahead to the gubernatorial elections on April 11, it is imperative that national attention turn to ensuring isolated logistical challenges are overcome and peace is protected, even in the most hotly contested races.

On behalf of the American people, I extend congratulations to the people of Nigeria and to President-Elect Buhari and look forward to continuing to work with the newly-elected government on our many shared priorities.

What Obasanjo Had To Say About Buhari’s Victory

12th President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo sent a message to the winner of presidential election, Muhammadu Buhari yesterday after his victory became obvious.

Mr.  Obasanjo said Buhari's experience in leadership will undoubtedly stand him in good stead and urged him to fix corruption above anything else.

"With so much harm already done to many national institutions including the military, which proudly nurtured you and me, you will have a lot to do on institution reform – education, healthcare, economy, security, infrastructure, power, youth employment, agri-business, oil and gas, external affairs, cohesiveness of our nation and ridding our land of corruption."

"Your varied and wide experience will undoubtedly stand you in good stead. is blessed with men and women of goodwill, character and virtue across the board that you can mobilise to join hands with you in the reform, repairs and re-direction that will be imperative to put Nigeria back on the fast lane of good governance, unity, cohesiveness, development and progress."

"For me, the totality of 2015 elections hold many lessons for our democracy and democratisation process, which are both maturing. On this occasion, the system has been unnecessarily overheated before and particularly during the campaigns when emphasis was more on trivialities and hate, divisive, undignifying and disrespectful statements and comments rather than on pressing issues requiring attention. I know that in victory, you will be magnanimous to start binding the wounds and bitterness occasioned by the campaign and the evil disciples, ” he said
