Senate President appoints Sen. Galadu as his Chief of Staff

Apparently, Nigeria now has a Chief of Staff!

Senate President Bukola Saraki this evening announced the appointment of Senator Isa Galadu as his Chief of staff

"I have appointed Senator Isa Galadu as my Chief of Staff and also Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu as Special Adviser on Media. Please note the appointments take effect immediately" a message shared on his Facebook wall read

Senator Galadu represents Kebbi North in the Senate and is a member of PDP.

Just so you know, the office of the chief of staff is the most powerful office in the Presidency
not only in Nigeria but also in America where we borrowed the (presidential) system.

It is the clearing house for the president. He manages the president's schedule, and decides who is allowed to meet with the president. Because of these duties, the Chief of Staff has at various times been labeled "The Gatekeeper", or "the power behind the throne ".

Gov. Theodore Orji and Babatunde Fashola of Abia and Lagos states served as chief of staff to Orji Uzo Kalu and Bola Tinubu before becoming the governor of their respective states.

Wow!
Triple MG record label boss, Ubi Franklin, who has been in the news for sometime now following his messy relationship with ex label mate Emma Nyra and surprising engagement to actress Lilian Esoro, narrowly escaped death last night.
If you can't read the screnshot, read what he wrote below:

Thank You Lord For keeping me, I was almost Gone last nite you Kept me!! Its Now my Decision to take what I can and leave what in don’t have control over. It shall End well with Prayers. AMEN

I didnt belive this reports tho was trying to be careful reporting it. According to daily independent *sigh* see what they are reporting..

Via Daily Independent:

Bayelsa State indigenes and residents are wearing mournful look following the death of Ariwera Jonathan, the son of the immediate past President of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, at a London hospital on Monday, June 22, 2015.
Though no member of the ex-president’s family in Otuoke, Bayelsa State, could confirm the development, Jonathan has not been seen around for sometime.
Ariwera was said to have been sick for a while.
Meanwhile, it is believed that Jonathan’s family wouldn’t want the news spread as they want everything to be on a low key.

The family hasn’t released an official statement.

UPDATE:
Looks like all is well with Ariwera
Ariwera, a teenage son of former President Goodluck Jonathan, is hale and hearty, contrary to rumors of his passing, sources close to the former Nigeria leader said.
Several aides of the former President told SaharaReporters on Tuesday that his rumored death came as a surprise to them, as the boy is not even sick

The All Progressives Congress, Lagos Chapter has blasted the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Lagos chapter for asking Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to probe the immediate past Governor, Raji Fashola. According to them the new press statement confirms PDP is finished in Lagos and beyond and the party has outrightly become a joke....Continue…

“As laughable and childish as PDP’s latest rant is, we dare say that we are not in the culture of dignifying confused thoughts of a cabal that is yet to live down their continued horrible fate in the hands of Lagosians.

“With the historical defeat of the PDP from the center where they ran Nigeria to total bankruptcy and near collapse even with very bounteous oil earning, it is not difficult to locate why Lagos PDP is hit by a gale of total confusion that finds expression in the inchoate and disoriented ranting it spews out these days as press statements.

“The achievements in Lagos for the past 16 years of progressive politics need no repetition here. Lagosians know them and feel them. Nigerians know these and trumpet it but the woeful losers in Lagos PDP have chosen self denial in the vain thoughts that this will help their inordinate desire to corner power in Lagos when they have shown complete failure in the sixteen years they have misused and abused power in Nigeria.

“Fact is that for sixteen years, we have taught PDP a huge lesson in politics and leadership but they keep playing the ostrich thinking Lagosians are fools that will fall for their gimmicks. This is why PDP had been failing and will continue to fail in Lagos.”

Mr. Igbokwe said the PDP should, instead, prevail on President Muhammadu Buhari to probe and punish those who looted Nigeria’s treasury dry in the past 16 years.

“They are not, rather they are asking Governor Ambode to ‘probe’ the poster regime for productive and accountable governance in this republic. What a party?”

“We want to let the lost and confused parodists in Lagos PDP know that Governor Ambode has hit the ground running just because he has a rich template of productive governance to continue with.

“That Lagos PDP is not seeing these, which every other Nigerian sees, is not surprising for PDP has no known ability to recognize good governance anywhere. If it has, it wouldn’t have wrecked Nigeria in one demolishing spree that an oil rich country is today cringing on all fours as the treasury has been emptied by chieftains of PDP, among whom are those that now parade themselves as chieftains of Lagos PDP.”

Bayern Munich have confirmed that goalkeeper Pepe Reina has been released from his contract, allowing him to sign for Napoli on a free transfer.

The Spaniard joined the Bavarians last summer on a three-year deal having seen out his contract at Liverpool, but was restricted to just three appearances in all competitions in 2014-15.

As a result, the goalkeeper had been strongly linked with Napoli – with whom he had spent a year on loan prior to linking up with Pep Guardiola’s Bundesliga champions – and Bayern confirmed the deal for him to join the Serie A side was a reality.

Bayern deputy chairman Jan-Christian Dreesen told the club’s website on Tuesday:

“Pepe Reina has asked us to release him from his contract because he wants to sign for Napoli where he will have the chance to play as a goalkeeper on a regular basis,”

“Reina has fitted into our team in sporting – and above all human – terms so we more than happy to comply with his request. We wish Pepe and his family all the best for the future.”

Minutes later, Napoli echoed that an agreement had been secured with Reina and welcomed the 32-year-old to the club after he completed the medical which club president Aurelio De Laurentiis had revealed was going ahead.

The club’s website stated:

“Pepe Reina is a Napoli player. The goalkeeper had his medical on Tuesday morning accompanied by team doctor Dr. De Nicola and then signed with President De Laurentiis.”

Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike has ordered the immediate sack of the General Manager of Rivers State Broadcasting Corporation, Ms Mediline Tador.

In a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Opunabo Inko-Tariah, Mr Sampson Febresima, takes over immediately, as the General Manager of the Corporation.

Febresima was the zonal Manager of Silverbird Television and Radio Port Harcourt until his resignation months ago. No reasons were stated for the sack of Ms Tador.

Tador was once Commissioner for Information in the state, she was also a former editor with the defunct Daily Times in Lagos.

The new GM’s wife, Mrs Florence Fibresima of the Ministry of Justice was last week appointed Secretary of Judicial Commission of Inquiry that would investigate Governor Chibuike Amaechi.

Sampson Fiberisima stint in the Silverbird Radio and Television led to the growth of the broadcasting station in the region, making it a toast of its listeners in Rivers and environs. The reason for his resignation some months ago is unclear.

However, he is expected to bring his wealth of experience to Radio Rivers which wholly owned by the state government.

It’s no secret these days that a lot of disgruntled exes especially men, take to exposing their former boos nudes online in an attempt to get back at them for breaking their poor little hearts.

A couple of days ago a girl on Twitter simply known as kainenchukwu revealed that her ex was threatening to post nude pics she had sent him online.

Over the weekend on saturday June 20th, seyi shay reunited with members of her former girl band. it was managed back then by beyonce's father Matthew Knowles.

A security worker at the UK's main immigration centre tried to smuggle her deported lover back into the country in the boot of her car.

Custody officer Kelly Henderson, 39, started an affair with Fatos Demirneli during his detention at Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre in West London.

When the 'good looking' Albanian was deported, the besotted mother-of-one plotted to sneak him back into Britain from France.

In August last year she drove across the Channel and tried to smuggle Demirneli back into the UK hidden in the back of her Nissan Micra.

But immigration officials at the Channel Tunnel entrance at Coquelles searched the car and found the stowaway – as well as a quantity of amphetamines.

Police then raided Henderson's home in West Drayton, Middlesex and found MDMA, prosecutor Jim Harvey told Canterbury Crown Court.

Henderson, who has been sacked from the GEO Group which ran the immigration removal centre at the time, admitted people smuggling and two drugs offences.

But despite her crimes she escaped jail when a judge said what she did was 'silly but understandable'.

Speaking after she was handed a suspended sentence, Henderson said she 'deeply regrets' trying to smuggle her boyfriend into the UK but said she still loves him and hopes he will still get into the country legally to be with her.

She said: 'I'm over the moon with the sentence, I am extremely lucky.

'I'd prepared everything to go to prison, my bank accounts, direct debits, keys, and I'd sorted out my daughter Amy living with my mum.

President Buhari has assured Nigerians that he would recover billions of dollars stolen by past politicians and bureaucrats of the past administration. This was part of the agenda discussed as he met with Governor’s in the presidential villa in Abuja today. He said “The next three months may be hard, but billions of dollars can be recovered, and we will do our best,” the president told the governors.

He warned that the days of impunity, lack of accountability and fiscal recklessness in the management of national resources are over in Nigeria. “There are financial and administrative instructions in every government parastatal and agency. But all these were thrown to the dogs in the past. Honestly, our problems are great, but we will do our best to surmount them,” he stated.
