Gov El-Rufai sues Union newspaper for defamation

By


The Kaduna state governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai has filed a case of defamation against the Union Newspaper based in Lagos, for publishing a false story on his declared asset with Code of Conduct Bureau.
The Union newspaper had on June 1st published a story on its front page alleging that “El-Rufai declared 90 billion naira and 40 Mansions” as assets.

The governor who filed his petition today at the state High Court Kaduna, was accompanied by his Deputy, Bala Bantex, his lawyers and top government officials to sign the writ of summons.
Speaking to journalists shortly after signing the writ at the court registry, El-Rufai denied having N90 billion asset and however, described the story as untrue, ‎malicious and damaging.
“I hope I lose the suit because if I have all these money, I would do a lot more for Kaduna State with the money.” El-Rufai stated.
Though he disclosed that he has declared his asset even before his swearing-in on May 29, 2015, he however did not disclose the total amount of asset declared at the Code of Conduct Bureau.

It will not work you will surely get an invalid response. After dialing the code, your are still on the right track, don't be afraid; Change your date to 01|01|2000 and change it back to the correct one immediately... After that remove your sim and put it back. Then check your data... Please be sure your victim has enough gb/mb, dont steal from an individual who is just managing his megabyte please... Goodnews is that this cheat works for atleast 70% of mtn sims... Badnews is that this operation must be carried out u...

What African Leaders should not do to save their Economies after COVID-19

By
Originally published on Herald Newspaper.   “When men attain power, they go crooked.” This piece is coming from an author, I, and the introductory quote is quite dubious enough but the truth is perpetually bitter. To open the curtain on this important discussion, I would like to congratulate several African leaders on the various precautionary measures they have instigated to hamper the raging spread of this plague. They should know that this is the dawn of a new era and certainly not the time to cast aspersions on who bears the onus or play politics on the suffering proletarians. Those residing in the hinterlands have successfully lost their sources of livelihood as almost every country has embarked on complete lockdown. The private sector, considered as elites, are even battling on how to pay their employees who are now on official vacation. The government as a whole cannot import their needs and have to dig into their reserves to try to keep every Tom, Dick, and Harr...
