The Kogi state chairman of the Association of Local
Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, Mr. Toufiq Isah, has
called on the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission EFCC, and other anti-corruption agencies to
investigate and prosecute Senator Dino Melaye for
allegedly stealing items meant for Internally Displaced
Persons, IDPs, in the North West on December, to his
home town Ayetoro-Gbede.
Toufig said this on Monday in a interview with newsmen
‘Daily Post’ in his home town Okoro–Gbede in
Ijimu, concerning an alleged attempt to assassinate Sen.
Dino Melaye in his house, which Melaye accused him of
chairing the plans to kill him. According to Toufig, Dino
entered Ayetoro with policemen shooting guns
sporadically to scare people. Toufig said that Melaye has
turned the story around to claim that he was attacked.
” It is Melaye’s responsibility to protect the lives and
properties of his people, in-tandem with improved living
standard, but if he can not do it he should allow them to
have peace instead of causing unnecessary distraction”.

However, Toufig called on the EFCC to investigate and
prosecute Dino accordingly for taking to his house items
meant for IDP’s. He stressed that Dino has never
empowered anybody in Okunland since he became a
Senator representing the Zone. On the IDP’s items Dino
usurped he said “I am using this medium to call on the
EFCC and the Presidency to investigate how items
meant for IDPs in the North-east got to the hand of a
senator who ordinarily is supposed to contribute to
ameliorate the sufferings of the people.
“The items, according to information, were packed in his
house at Ayetoro- Gbede. EFCC should also investigate
and uncover the staff of NEMA who might have aided
and abated Dino in that shoddy deal.
“If you go to some villages, within our local government
area, you will notice dearth of basic social amenities.
“The Governor Yahaya Bello-led administration has made
it compulsory to all the councils’ administrators to go
down to the hinterlands and touch people’s lives
positively through the New Direction Agenda of the
government, and that is exactly what I am doing in my
council area” he added.

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Posted By
Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...

Awaiting the death and burial of recession

Posted By
Judging by how confident the governor of the Cen­tral Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele was as he made the announcement, we can only but agree that, all things being equal – like econ­omists the world over always posit – Nigeria will be out of recession latest by the third quarter of this year. Accord­ing to his well-heeled argu­ment, there was nowhere else for the nation’s beleaguered economy to head on account of the abiding positive indica­tors but out of recession. Who indeed would doubt him with inflation trending down­wards, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) improving and foreign exchange going to the real sector as and when needed? What is more! This opti­mism is no less supported by the recent release of the na­tion’s economic position by the National Bureau of Statis­tics (NBS). According to the release, though the nation’s GDP con­tracted by 0.52 per cent in the 1st Quarter of 2017 repre­senting the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction since the first quarter...
