       Senate President Bukola Saraki took to his social media to write '' We noted the verdict of the Court of Appeal Court today in which it agreed with the decision of the Code of Conduct Tribunal that Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki has no case to answer on 15 of the 18 charges filed against him by the Federal Government. We believe that upholding the no case submission by Dr. Saraki with regards to 15 of the 18 counts charges vindicates the innocence of the Senate President. At least, today's j udgement has confirmed the position of the Tribunal that the prosecution's case was entirely based on hearsay, not on any concrete evidence. The verdict of the Court of Appeal, just like that of the Tribunal before it, aligned with our position that the preposterous claims made during trial by the prosecution concerning operation of foreign accounts, making anticipatory declarations, collecting double salaries, owning assets beyond his income and failure to dec...

       The pioneer chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Nuhu Ribadu has urged financial institutions to actively contribute their quota to the fight against corruption by resisting and exposing corruption through anti-money laundering policies.

While urging everyone to think twice before being involved in corruption, the former EFCC boss warned on the conse...

     This sunday was very interesting,from going to church to attending a red carpet event.Sunday morning I wore a deep brown dress with multicolour flower design on it.I just picked up a flower colour on the dress which is yellow that is why am wearing a yellow shoe and yellow purse.It could be red or white or even brown.So when next I want to wear this dress,I don't have to wear yellow shoes and purse again that is the advantage of wearing or having a multicolour dress or outfit.When I came back from church,I wore a pink and blue,black and white swuade gown for the 12th Ikeja city awards.I carried a pink stud purse and pink swuade shoe.Is not magic,I only planned ahead.I started planning a month ahead and a week before the event I knew exactly what I wanted to wear.The event is a very matured gathering,so wearing a dress that makes you look very hot might not be very ok for the event because the event is for Obas,Commissioners,House of Rep,Governors etc.More photos be...
