Sanusi calls for the sack of 50% of civil servants in Nigeria

This Man and Him wahala.......chai!!!!!!

The Central Bank governor on Monday called for the sack of 50% of civil servants in Nigeria because according to him, 'the country spends 70 per cent of its earnings on salaries and entitlements of civil servants.'
“You have to fire half of the civil service because the revenue of the government is supposed to be for 167 million Nigerians. Any society where government spends 70 per cent of its revenue on its civil service has a problem. It is unsustainable,” he said.
Organized Labour, including the Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress, Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, the Civil Liberties Organisation and Radio, Television, Theatre and Arts Workers Union, have all condemned his statement, some asking for his immediate sack.

Freeze Names D’banj, 2face, Psquare, Davido, Wizkid, Ice Prince As Top Nigerian Nigerian Acts

Radio presenter Freeze has been getting himself in the news quite frequently in recent weeks. After conducting an eye-opening interview with D’banj he got into a Tweet fight with maverick producer Don Jazzy but they’ve settled their differences and moved on.

The COOL FM OAP was a guest of UK’s Factory 78 and was asked to give his list of ‘Top 5 Nigerian Artistes’.

Freeze gave an interesting list mentioning the likes of D’banj, 2face, Psquare, Davido, Wizkid, Ice Prince.

Here’s his list below and reason for picking them…

5. Ice Prince: (No comment)

4. Wizkid: Freeze says the 22-year-old EME pop singer is ‘great’ and hardworking but takes fourth position because he feels he is not really in touch with his reality as compared to Davido.

3. Davido: Freeze explains he is placing Davido a step higher than Wizzy because he feels the 20-year-old is more in touch with his reality as a musician making reference to the ‘All of you’ track the singer recorded on his debut album.

2. 2face and Psquare: Freeze says Mr Idibia and the pop duo tie on his number two position – while not making further comments on Peter and Paul Okoye, he does have a few words for 2face.

Freeze says 2face is a ‘talented musician’, makes brilliant music although he doesn’t understand his recent songs that have to do with ‘freedom fighting’, ’2face is meek like Moses in the Bible’, Freeze says. ‘He is also an inspiration to the generation, contributing his quota to making sure the next generation is not underpopulated‘, he jokes.

1. D’banj: Freeze places D’banj in number one spot. His reason? ‘I think he has gone through a lot, signing with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music’, Freeze explains and continues by giving props to The Entertainer’s former label partner Don Jazzy.

Freeze also makes reference to faded stars like Style Plus, The Remedies and Eedris Abdulkareem but then dampens the reminiscence by saying he’s ‘not here to resurrect any careers’.

Ivy Blue is back again

The Best Detail of Beyonce's New Photo of Blue Ivy: Did You Miss It?

Okay, so the adorableness factor of Beyonce's recent mama-baby snuggle shot with 11-month-old Blue Ivy is, not surprisingly, off the charts. There's the tender kiss on the head, for starters, and then the crazy-cute color-coordinated (blue, of course) outfits.

But knowing moms everywhere will see this candid photo, which the singer shared on Tumblr, will laugh about something else: the sight of Beyonce's chunky earring in her toddler's chubby little fist.

That's because it's a universal truth of motherhood that if you wear shiny, dangly jewelry, your tot will immediately grab it and try to stick it in her mouth. It doesn't matter how many cute organic wooden teething toys or Sophie the Giraffes or sets of plastic keys you give your baby; what mama's wearing is always more interesting.

That obviously hasn't stopped Beyonce from accessorizing (unlike many moms -- myself included -- who stopped wearing dangly earrings after their babe's first painful yank). But we see she's also learned the savvy-mama trick of taking off the jewelry before accommodating grabby little hands.

HALLE BERRY Secretly Selling Hollywood 'Fight House'

Halle Berry has VERY quietly listed her Hollywood Hills mansion for $15 million ... the same home where Gabriel Aubry and Olivier Martinez faced off in a violent Thanksgiving Day showdown  ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple real estate sources familiar with the deal tell TMZ ... a few weeks back Halle gave a prominent realtor a pocket listing -- a fancy term for property that isn't advertised.  The broker -- Billy Rose with the high-end company, The Agency, has history with the house.  He owned it a decade ago, renovated it and then sold it to actor Frankie Muniz, who sold it to Halle several years later.

Sources tell TMZ ... Rose has quietly put out feelers to other realtors and potential buyers ... with some success.  We're told last week Halle got an $11 million offer, but she's holding out for more.

In case you're in the market, it's a 5-bedroom, 5,900 sq. ft. Tuscan-style estate, with a huge backyard, a 1,400 sq. ft. guest house ... an awesome pool and spa ... fireplaces galore ... incredible landscaping ... and oh yeah, a motor court -- where Gabriel and Olivier settled their score.

Police Raided clubs in Lagos

Police raid mainland clubs, Basketmouth's Embarssy lounge affected

On Friday November 23rd, the Nigerian police, without warning or any particular reason, raided four clubs located on University Road, Akoka, Yaba Lagos. The raid, led by the DPO from Yabo-Sabo police station, affected Basketmouth's EmBARssy lounge located at 12 University Rd, where at least 10 individuals were arrested without any reason. They were released the next day.

The police officers were said to have harassed and arrested people at will in the midnight raid which saw them roving all around the clubs and lounges in three Black-Maria and two Hilux vehicles.

However, one club (Road Runners) which was relaunching that same night was not raided like the others in the neighbourhood, prompting other patrons to ask questions.

People are alleging that the owners of Road Runners (Diran and Sobowale) may have deliberately used the police to frustrate EmBARssy Lounge, which has since become the most patronized fun spot in in the area.

 

Basketmouth and owners of the other fun spots affected by the raid are planning to petition the Lagos State Commissioner of Police against the action of the Sabo-Yaba police station officers, as the raid reportedly scared away many patrons which has led to loss of millions of naira in revenue.

 

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command has described the allegation of being biased as unfounded and an act of wickedness. Reacting on the police raid, the PPRO, Ngozi Braide told reporters that the affected club owners were only being sentimental.

"It is not possible for any club or lounge to control the Lagos State Police Command and the commissioner of Lagos. That is wickedness on the part of anybody insinuating this. It was a joint operation by Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and Area C. It happened in the early hours of saturday. They targeted black spots" Braide explained.

Not again Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting Woman at New York City Nightclub

Looks like Lindsay Lohan may have a hit on her hands—and not the good kind.
The critically savaged Liz & Dick star was arrested early Thursday morning after allegedly punching a woman at a New York City nightclub, E! News has confirmed.
According to an NYPD spokeswoman, the 26-year-old actress got into a fight with the woman at Club Avenue in downtown Manhattan and allegedly punched her in the face.
LiLo getting sued for Liz & Dick? Not so fast...
Cops arrested Lohan at around 4 a.m. outside the club, and she was charged with assault.
A source tells E! News the woman LiLo allegedly clocked is a tourist visiting from West Palm Beach, Fla., and was at the club with her husband. The source also claims that the star had been banned from the club previously.

Lohan was subsequently released from custody shortly before 8 a.m., covering herself with a black jacket as she left the precinct. Authorities say they expect Lohan to be issued a desk-appearance ticket.
It's the latest legal headache for the embattled comebacking star, who was also arrested in early September for allegedly swiping a man with her car at another downtown Manhattan club, and, a few weeks later, was allegedly assaulted at a New York City hotel.

OMG!! 2 little Children Died In JTF Custody In Maiduguri

Two brothers, Babagana Mustapha and Hassan Mustapha held by men of the Joint Task Force (JTF) in Borno State have died while in their custody, father of the boys told a Maiduguri high court yesterday.

Two boys were arrested and detained since April this year by soldiers during house to house search in Shehuri north area of Maiduguri.

The father of the two brothers, Mustapha Bukar, had earlier filed a case of enforcement of fundamental human right at a Maiduguri high court over the detention of his children.

In the suit, which was brought before Maiduguri High Court 11, the Chief of Army Staff, Inspector General of Police and the Borno State commissioner of police, were joined as co-defendants.

In the case, which was filed by Barrister Babagana Shettima on behalf of the applicants, they want the court to declare that their continuous detention without arraignment before a competent law court is illegal and void.

Also in an affidavit to support the suit the father narrated how men of the Nigerian Army raided their home in Shehuri and arrested his children.

When the case came up for hearing yesterday, the father of the deceased through his counsel told the court that his children had died in custody of the military and sought for the case to be struck.

The presiding judge, Justice Alkali Wakil Gana, then struck out the case.

Counsel to the Chief of Army Staff said he agreed with the decision to strike out the case, saying however that the children did not die in the custody of JTF, which he said is not directly under him.

NHIS says: Our Drugs Are Not Substandard

The NHIS also said it had developed new and modern strategies for providing risk protection mechanism in the health sector.

The acting Executive Secretary of NHIS, Abdulrahman Sambo, represented by the organisation’s General Manager (Technical Operations), Hope Uweja, stated this in Abuja, during its third enrolLees’ forum to respond to the concerns expressed by clients.

The forum is part of NHIS’ strategies to ensure that stakeholders are updated on the scheme.

According to him, the drugs prescribed under its scheme are “generic not fake.”

Sambo said, “Once drugs are genuine, they are efficacious, whether branded or generic. It is only when they are fake that it becomes a problem. In most health systems, the move is towards the use of generic drugs.

“Increasingly, the cost of drugs is improving. If you can get efficacious good drugs at the best price, you go for them. We always get those complaints but we need to educate them to know the difference between generic and fake.”

Today Babalakin’s Trial Begins

After a week of indecision, Bi-Courtney Chairman Dr. Olawale Babalakin (SAN) has agreed to face trial over the N3.4billion allegedly laundered for ex-Governor James Ibori to buy a Challenger aircraft.

Also to face trial are Stabilini Vision Limited, Bi-Courtney Limited, Alex Okoh and Renix Nigeria Limited.

It was learnt that a team of Senior Advocates of Nigeria will defend the suspects, whose trial is likely to take place in the court complex built by Babalakin’s company.

They are to face a 27-count charge in the High Court of Lagos State, Ikeja Division.

The charge borders on the alleged laundering of $11.3million abroad for Ibori through Erin Aviation Account in Mauritius.

The charge sheet, dated November 21, was filed by A.M. Yusuf, Esq., on behalf of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Attorney-General of the Federation.

A top source in EFCC, who spoke with our correspondent in confidence, said: “We have received assurances from Babalakin that he will appear in court for arraignment on Thursday (today). He offered to come for arraignment; we have no reason to doubt him.

“We may, therefore, have no reason to arrest him before trial. What is important is to serve the cause of justice.”

Responding to a question, the source added: “There is an understanding that all the suspects will be at the EFCC office in Ikoyi by 7am and it is from there that they will be taken to court.

“Babalakin has been cooperating with the EFCC in its investigation; there is no problem at all.”

Another source, who also did not want to be named, said Babalakin relocated from Abuja to Lagos on Wednesday evening for his trial.

“He is innocent of the charges but it is normal to arraign any suspect in court. This investigation has been on in the last seven years without anything found against Babalakin.

“The arraignment might be an attempt to break his spirit but justice will prevail at the end of the day.

“It is going to be a major legal battle and we have assembled a crack team of lawyers to defend him and four others.

“Ironically, Babalakin will be arraigned in the same court complex which his company built to taste. That is life, everything has a purpose.”

Court Dismisses IBB $12.4 Billion Gulf Oil Windfall Suit

A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed the suit filed by civil society groups against the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, and the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.

The judge, Gabriel Kolawole, delivered the ruling on Thursday in Abuja. He said the applicants lack the locus standi to institute the case.

Mr. Kolawole however said the plaintiffs should not be seen as busy bodies but patriotic citizens.

Six civil society groups, including the Socio-Economic and Accountability Project (SERAP), sued the Attorney- General of the Federation (AGF) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) over the much publicised $12.4 billion oil windfall, which the country recorded between 1988 and 1992, while former military dictator, Ibrahim Babangida, was in power.

The groups wanted the court to compel the government to release a report of a probe panel headed by Pius Okigbo which probed the spending of the money by the government.

The Federal Government raised many arguments against the suit including: that the report was missing, only the AGF could demand for such a report, and the court had no jurisdiction to entertain the suit.
