- August 17, 2016

The Federal Government today announced that four out of the five Aje oil wells have been approved for production of crude oil in Lagos. A team led by the Chairman of the Indices and Disbursement Committee of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Aliyu Mohammed, paid a courtesy visit to Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, at the Lagos House, Ikeja. Mohammed told Governor Ambode that the committee was in Lagos to verify crude oil and gas production from Aje Oil Wells for the purpose of disbursement of the 13 per cent Derivation Fund to the state in line with the Nigerian Constitution. He said the Commission had set-up an Inter-Agency technical Committee comprising of the RMAFC, DPR, Office of the Surveyor General of the Federation and the National Boundary Commission to determine the location of the Aje Oil Wells. Mohammed said the Technical Committee recommended that for the purpose of the Derivation Fund as spelt out under Section 162 (

Lagendary Boxer Muhammad Alli Died at 74

- June 04, 2016

Muhammad Ali, the eloquent, colorful, controversial and brilliant three-time heavyweight boxing champion who was known as much for his social conscience and staunch opposition to the Vietnam War as for his dazzling boxing skills, died Friday. Ali, who had a long battle with Parkinson's disease, was taken to a Phoenix area hospital earlier this week where he was being treated for a respiratory issue. He was 74. Once the most outrageous trash talker in sports, he was largely muted for the last quarter century of his life, quieted by a battle with Parkinson's Disease. Born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. on Jan. 17, 1942, in Louisville, Ky., Ali learned to box after his bicycle was stolen when he was 12 years old. When young Clay vowed to "whoop the behind" of the thief, a local police officer encouraged him to learn to box to channel his energy.

Lionel Messi and his Father could face jail terms of up to 22 months.

- June 03, 2016

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Soccer's five-times World Player of the Year Lionel Messi arrived at a court in Barcelona on Thursday to testify against charges of tax evasion. A few bypassers applauded the arrival of the Argentina and FC Barcelona player while several people shouted at him, but in contrast to when he appeared at a local court in 2013 to give evidence, there were no Barcelona supporters present. Messi and his father, Jorge Horacio Messi, entered the court immediately without speaking to reporters. The trial began on Tuesday although Messi missed the first and second day, which he was not obliged to attend, citing a back injury sustained in Argentina's international friendly with Honduras last Friday. Lionel and Jorge Horacio Messi are accused by the Spanish tax office of defrauding the government of 4.2 million euros ($4.7 million) between 2007 and 2009. They could face jail terms of up to 22 months if found guilty, although it is customary in Spain that off

Robert Lewandowski agrees to Real Madrid switch

- June 03, 2016

Amid intense speculation over his future, Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has reportedly signed a pre-contract agreement with Real Madrid. The Polish international had hinted at a move earlier this week, by conceding that given he had won everything on offer after six years in Germany, perhaps a fresh start was needed. Although that was met with a staunch rebuttal from the Bavarian giants, AS have reported that a pre-contract has been signed with Los Blancos. The agreement is believed to be for a contract worth €25m gross per season, with the former Borussia Dortmund hitman set to move to the Spanish capital after the conclusion of Euro 2016, where he will lead the line for Poland. His arrival will force Real to consider their options though, with Karim Benzema and James Rodriguez expected to be sacrificed in order to create space in the squad for the prolific Bayern star. By selling that duo, the club will be confident of having the required funds to finance a mo

- June 03, 2016

The Federal Government has scrapped post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME, as a pre-condition to gaining admission into universities in the country.

These decisions were reached at the 2016 Combined Policy Meeting on Admissions to Universities, Polytechnics and other higher institutions in Nigeria. The Minister of Education , Malam Adamu Adamu,while declaring open the meeting, said since the federal government and stakeholders had confidence in the examinations conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, there was no need for other examinations to be conducted by universities after JAMB exams. He said: “As far as I am concerned, the nation has confidence in what JAMB is doing, the universities should not be holding another exa

Lil Kesh, explains that he was not influenced by any external forces to leave #YBNL

In an interview published in the May 14 edition of Punch Newspaper, the 21-year-old clears the air on rumours that the move was advised by people around him, and that he was not ready to stand alone at this stage of his career.

I am still very much around in the industry and good stuff is still going to come out from my stable and YBNL.
