The change in law follows the cutting of diplomatic relations and borders with Qatar, who the Saudi Kingdom this week accused of supporting ISIS.

US Senators block sale of Fighter Jets to Nigeria


Two US senators have written to the secretary of state not to sell fighter jets to Nigeria

– They claimed issue of human rights concern was a reason for this blockade

– Nigeria was accused of not following court orders in the detention of El-Zakzaky

Nigeria has suffered long to break up now – US don‎, Richard Joseph laments

A Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University, Illinois, United States of America, Richard Joseph, has stated that despite the many problems facing Nigeria, it should not contemplate disintegrating.

Joseph made this comment while delivering a public lecture at the University of Lagos on Friday.

The lecture was organised by the Public Affairs Section of the United States Consulate General, Lagos in collaboration with the University of Lagos.

Speaking on the theme “Are Changes in the Federal Structure of Nigeria Required for Better Governance?”, the don said lots of sacrifice had been made by Nigerians, which should not be allowed to be in vain.

He said, “Nigeria has had by far a modest constitutional government. The democratic governance has lasted three times longer than any of its predecessors. This is a very important achievement.

NIGERIANS ABOARD DOING GREAT: SEVEN NIGERIANS ELECTED TO BRITISH PARLIAMENT


Seven of the newly elected members of the British Parliament are persons with Nigerian heritage.

United Kingdom-based Nigerian university lecturer, Dr Adebisi Adewole, who is also the Managing Editor of African Pulse Magazine told The Nation that Nigerians across the UK feel elated over the development.


According to the university lecturer, the celebration of the elected MPs success appears justified as they have broken various forms of historical barriers, while some Nigerians at home still feel preoccupied with barriers of ethnic, religious and other forms of division.

One of them, 49 years old Kate Ofunne Osamor, whose two parents are Nigerians, was re-elected as Member of Parliament of Edmonton.

She read Third World Studies at the University of East London, got elected on Labour platform in May 2015 and was appointed Shadow Secretary of State for International Development in June 2016.

Also, Chinyelu Susan “Chi” Onwurah, who has a Nigerian father, was re-elected as the MP representing Newcastle upon Tyne Central constituency.

Born in April 12, 1965, Chi was first elected on the platform f Labour Party in 2010 when she became Newcastle’s first-ever black MP and she became Shadow Minister for Business, Innovation and Skills, as well as Shadow Minister for Culture, Media and Sport two years ago.

Another re-elected British MP is 39-year-old Chuka Umunna, a graduate of Law from the University of Manchester who has been representing Streatham constituency since 2010.

Among the newly-elected MPs with Nigerian heritage is a graduate of Law, Fiona Onasanya, who now represents Peterborough constituency.

Bim Afolami, who also became MP representing Hitchin and Harpenden constituency on the platform of the Conservative Party, has a Nigerian father.

Also, Helen Grant, who made history in 2010 as the first black woman to be elected as MP on the ticket of the Conservative Party, won again this time to represent Maidstone and The Weald constituency.

Olukemi Adegoke, Olufunto Badenoch, who describes herself on her website, http://kemibadenoch.org.uk as being born in Wimbledon and bred up in both Nigeria and the United States, is a 37-year-old mother of one daughter.

A graduate of Engineering and Law, she is MP for Saffron Walden constituency.

According to Dr. Adewole, Nigerians need to learn from the liberal democracy they claim to be copying.

“In Nigeria, they would have been asked, ‘Who knows your family’? ‘Ah, you are Igbo and you have Yoruba blood with your mother known to have dated an Hausa man’, ‘You are a woman’ ‘You are too young’, ‘How much do you have?’, ‘Who is your godfather?’, You are muslim’, and so on.

“No one would have bothered much about the question of competence for the job,” he stated regretfully.

Congratulations to the seven candidates of Nigerian heritage for winning the election to become members of parliament in U.K.

The seven candidates are:

Chuka Umunna -Streatham

Bim Afolami – Hitchin & Harpenden

Fiona Onasanya- Peterborough

Chi Onwurah – Newcastle Central

Kate Osamor – Edmonton

Kemi Badenock – Saffron Walden

Helen Grant – Maidstone &  The Weald

Herdsmen attacks responsible for high cost of garri- Farmers complain

The Nigeria Cassava Growers Association says the unending attacks by herdsmen on farmers and their products nationwide, is largely responsible for the scarcity in cassava products such as Garri and Fufu and the increase in prices of these food items. In the last two months, there have been over 100% increase in the prices of staple foods such as Garri, Fufu and others.

A paint bucket of Garri which used to go for N400, now goes for N1000 or more, depending on the location.

Cristiano Ronaldo has rubbished claims he is playing as a striker and insisted he will never be deployed in that position.

The 32-year-old has received a lot of praise recently after many believing he has adapted to the number nine role for Real Madrid brilliantly

Previously, Ronaldo was always used in a wide position, where his devastating pace would allow him to cut in on either foot and shoot. However, with the star now in his 30s, the Portuguese has assumed a more central position where pace isn’t as much of an issue.
