President Buhari says ending corruption would lead to a new Nigeria.
President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to end corruption in all ramifications in Nigeria.
Buhari made the promise at the launch of an anti-corruption campaign, tagged “The Value Project” in Abuja on Thursday, February 16.
The president who was represented by the minister of state for education, Professor Anthony Anwukah, said looting of public funds, bribery of public officials and other vices associated with corrupt practices constitute more than half the real problems of the nation, Tribune reports.
The event which was organized by the federal ministry of education in collaboration with a non-governmental organization (NGO), Youth Health and Social Reforms (YOHESOR), was designed for building a corrupt-free generation through education, value re-orientation, skills training and awareness creation in primary and secondary schools across the 36 states of the federation and Abuja.
The president expressed the believe that ending corruption would lead to a new Nigeria.
He said: “I stand to be corrected but I strongly think that if we get it right with corruption, we almost will get it right with the new Nigeria of our desire.
“In the last one year of this administration, we have made relentless efforts to make our position clear that we must all join hands to kill corruption before corruption kills what is left of our dear country.
 “I have no doubt in my mind that the vices associated with corrupt practices, such as budget padding, miracle exam centres, sorting of lecturers, contract inflation, looting of public funds and bribery of public officials, constitute more than half of the real problem of this nation."
He urged Nigerians with genuine love and passion for the country to support this government in its drive to change the orientation of Nigerians, particularly the children about corruption and its attendant social vices.
Meanwhile, a federal court in Lagos has ordered the final forfeiture of N23.4 billion, N9.08 billion, and $5 million (about N34 billion in total) linked to Nigeria's former petroleum minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, Premium Times reports.
Justice Muslim Hassan, on Thursday, February 16, gave a “final forfeiture order” on the funds.
The judge said he was satisfied with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) argument that the monies were proceeds of illegal activity.

ARE WALL GECKOS REALLY POISONOUS?

  Few days ago I got a shared post from a friend on the poisonous nature of Wall geckos. As usual I copied and shared in a Whatsapp group without any prior search. Not sooner than later had I dropped it that I got a striking question from another friend, any empirical evidence to support this?".  At first I felt why would one need evidence to support the widely accepted notion of the 'poisonous' nature of wall geckos. Why look for evidence for something that has killed people in most parts of Nigeria? Was it not better one took cover? Three days later I decided to give it a thought. I went back to search like the Berean Christian. After a critical study, I found out there are NO scientific evidence to support that wall geckos are poisonous. It's an illusion. The superstitious beliefs about the innocent Hemidactylus frenatus has really gone wild. My findings : 1.Wall gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) is non-poisonous. 2. The superstitious beliefs a...

VTU AIRTIME BUSINESS

  Is it really possible to earn 45% interest in pure profits just selling airtime? Absolutely yes. This is because people consume airtime as much as they consume water today. If you are still reading this post then it is certain that you are also using airtime (converted to data-MB/GB). Do you know according to NCC, we have over 130 million active GSM LINES in Nigeria as at June 2014. Telecoms Average Revenue Per User in Nigeria is N2000 per month, therefore monthly airtime usage per month is N260 Billion. The popular way of loading a phone with airtime or credit is by buying a recharge card or voucher and then loading it on your phone with a USSD code. e.g *555*XXXXXX# for MTN subscribers. The other way is the digital method called Virtual Top Up (VTU). With VTU, the phone will be directly credited by the vendor and there will be no need for scratching a card or loading with USSD. The buyer will just receive an alert that his phone has been topped up. The buyer also rece...
