Like his daily routine, he went to work the next day and coordinated his staff. His bank later realized they made a mistake and quickly removed the money from his bank account. “I was definitely surprised when I looked in my account and saw that much money in there.’I looked it up and there’s never been a trillionaire before.” – Reggie told KLTV

First, let’s kill all the herbalists! ( MUST READ)

She was carrying a big coffeemaker on one hand and a bag of plastic cups on the other. From the way she walked and darted her eyes around expectantly, it became apparent that she was a peddler of some sorts – maybe an itinerant beverage brewer, or one of those new-product canvassers.

A workman in a nearby garage called her, she stopped at the front, laid down the giant flask, carefully brought out a cup from her bundle, poured out a fuming hot, dark liquid into the cup, and handed it to the customer, who gingerly took it from her and began to sip with total concentration. The lady, noticing that I was engrossed by the transaction, turned to me with a sweet smile,

“This is herbal tea. It is very good for your health. It has authentic medicinal properties; many people now drink it every day. It is from China.”

First ladies’ impunity should stop — Falana

Click banner for more info

Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Femi Falana, in this interview with LEKE BAIYEWU, says the office of the First Lady is illegal and the roles of president/governors’ wives should be limited

W hat does the Nigerian constitution say about the office of the First Lady and what are the roles assigned to the occupant?

The post of the First Lady is not a creation of the constitution. In other words, there is no mention or reference to the post in the constitution or any other statute in the land. So, the question of assigning responsibilities to the office does not arise. In the first and second republics, there was no office of the First Lady. Even under successive military regimes up to the Muhammadu Buhari/Tunde Idiagbon era, the post was unknown. It was under the Gen. Ibrahim Babangida junta that the wife of the military president created the post, albeit illegally. There was no decree to back it up.

Senate stops N4bn first ladies’ mission house project

Click banner for more info

The Senate on Wednesday dropped the controversial African First Ladies’ Peace Mission House project when it passed the N259.65bn budget of the Federal Capital Territory for the 2013 fiscal year without approving the N4bn appropriated for it.

In February when the budget proposal was brought to the National Assembly, it contained N4bn vote for the construction of the mission house in Abuja, a development that attracted a lot of criticisms from members of the public.

The Senate, during the second reading of the bill, questioned the rationale of committing scarce resources to prosecute a less important structure.

Civil rights groups and political parties had also berated the Federal Capital Territory Administration for budgeting N4bn for the construction of the building for a non-governmental body headed by the wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan.
