 I’ve always been mocked, insulted over my huge size — Angel Babaorobo A comedian and skit maker, Usman Taiye, aka Angel Babaorobo, tells FAITH AJAYI about his journey as a content creator, his size and other issues  What is your educational background? My journey into the world of content creation has been shaped by different experiences and challenges that have influenced my life. I managed to finish primary school, which I considered a significant milestone in my early life. However, continuing my education beyond that point was a daunting task, due to the financial constraints my parents faced. The lack of resources meant that I could not further my education beyond that point; and, that actually defined much of my life. When did you become active on social media? In 2016, I made my entry into the world of social media. This marked a significant turning point in my life. Social media opened up a world of possibilities and opportunities that I had not previously imagined existed. It

ELECTORAL ACT: WE’RE BEQUEATHING A LASTING LEGACY WITH NEW ELECTION LAWS, SAYS PRESIDENT BUHARI   *ASKS THAT SECTION 84 (12) BE DELETED  President Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja said The Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill 2022, passed by the National Assembly, holds a lot of promise for improving the election processes in the country, with introduction of new technology, and efforts to engender clarity and transparency.   At a signing ceremony held at the State House, President Buhari, however, highlighted the need to amend section 84(12), which contravenes the rights of political office holders  to vote, or be voted for in political party conventions and congresses. “Distinguished Senators and Honourable Members of the National Assembly, from the review it is my perspective that the substance of the Bill is both reformative and progressive. I am making this bold declaration because I foresee the great potentials of the Bill. Worthy of note include the democratic efficacy of the Bill wit

WE ARE GLAD MR PRESIDENT HAS BOWED TO PRESSURE AND SIGNED THE AMMENDMENT ELECTORAL ACT INTO LAW- GOV. WIKE.(PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE.

We are glad Mr President has bowed to pressure and signed the ammended electoral act into law but he shouldn't have allowed Nigerians pass through this level of emotions and tension before doing the right thing.  This ammendment is a victory for Nigerians as it would reduce electoral violence, give credibility to our electoral process and make popular acceptance the route to public office.  Mr President's call for an ammendment of the clause which requires political appointees to resign before contesting party primaries is questionable. It is obvious he is trying to influence the process in favour of his appointees that might want to contest elections.  Laws should be made in the interest of Nigerians and not for a few cronies. If he believes in free and fair elections and for everyone to have a level playing field Mr President wouldn't demand for an ammendment of the clause which requires political appointees to resign before participating in party primaries.  I commend th

February 25, 2022 Press Statement PDP Dismisses Purported Impeachment of Zamfara Deputy Governor …says Mohammed Gusau Remains Legitimate Deputy Governor After an extensive review of the issues, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dismisses the claims by the Zamfara State House of Assembly that it has impeached the democratically elected Deputy Governor of the State, His Excellency Mahdi Aliyu Mohammed Gusau.

Leicester-born Ashleigh Plumptre Made her official debut for Nigeria on Friday, February 18, against Ivory Coast women’s national team in Abuja. She helped the Super Falcons to a clean sheet and a two-goal lead ahead of the second leg in Ivory Coast.  Plumptre has played for England’s U-15, U-17, U-19, and U-23 teams but she publicly declared her interest in playing for Nigeria in 2021. She told the BBC, “What it will mean for me as somebody who is British born but with Nigerian heritage is huge. People look at me and they think I’m tanned and that I’ve been on holiday, they don’t think that I’m Nigerian.  “I don’t think that should be significant in saying whether somebody is Nigerian or not because it’s in your blood, it’s not about what you look like.”
