By the standards of sub-Saharan African leaders, Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari is dirt-poor.
According to a statement released by his government, he has $150,000 in
his savings account. He owns five homes and two mud houses, an orchard
and ranch with 270 head of cattle, 25 sheep, five horses and a variety
of birds. He has bought two cars from his savings
"President Buhari had no foreign account, no factory and no enterprises.
He also had no registered company and no oil wells," reads the
statement released by the spokesman, Garba Shehu, describing the
president's assets as "Spartan."
The question on many minds is this: Is Buhari, Nigeria's former military
ruler and ex-head of the oil ministry, telling the truth?
Corruption, after all, is a major problem in Africa's largest economy.
Buhari himself has publicly said that more than $150 billion is missing
from the government's coffers. Still, the public declaration appears to
be an attempt to show some much-needed transparency. Buhari was elected
in March largely by promising that he wouldn't tolerate corruption.
What's clear is that Buhari has done what his predecessors — and most other African leaders — have never done.
Consider these five other African leaders. They have been labeled by Forbes Magazine as the "five worst leaders in Africa."
1. Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, president of Equatorial Guinea
He's Africa's longest-serving ruler, an autocrat who leads the tiny,
oil-rich West African nation of Equatorial Guinea. Despite its vast
natural wealth, the majority of its people live in deep poverty with no
access to clean drinking water, proper educational or health facilities.
One fifth of children die before age 5. The money has gone into the
pockets of Mbasogo and his family. They own luxury properties in the
United States and other countries, a private jet and a fleet of luxury
cars.
2. José Eduardo dos Santos, president of Angola
He's Africa's second-longest-serving leader. Angola is the continent's
second-largest oil producer, and one of the biggest suppliers of oil to
the United States. It also has massive diamond deposits. Dos Santos's
relatives hold key positions in his government and control a huge share
of Angola's economy, amid widespread allegations of corruption. Nearly
70 percent of the population lives in dire poverty, and a third of the
nation's children are malnourished.
3. Robert Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe
He has ruled the southern African nation for a quarter-century. He was
the architect of controversial policies, most notably the seizure of
white-owned commercial farms. Though the country in recent years has
seen an economic rebound, Mugabe remains one of the continent's most
autocratic rulers. He wields nearly total control of government
institutions, and his loyalists have used violence to retain control.
Human rights abuses are rife, while unemployment remains among the highest in sub-Saharan Africa.
4. Omar Al-Bashir, president of Sudan
Bashir seized power in a bloodless military coup in 1989 and has since
disbanded political parties, the nation's parliament and many
privately-owned media outlets. Under his rule, civil war erupted, in
which more than 1 million people were killed. Bashir is wanted by the
International Criminal Court at the Hague on charges of war crimes and
crimes against humanity for his role in the killing and rape of
civilians in Sudan's Darfur region. A U.S. diplomatic cable, leaked by
Wikileaks, unveiled that Bashir may have stolen as much as $9 billion
from state coffers and deposited it into his private bank accounts in
Great Britain.
5. King Mswati III, king of Swaziland
He is the continent's last reigning monarch, presiding over a nation
with one of the world's highest HIV rates, where average life expectancy
— 33 years — is among the lowest in the world.
Despite his people's suffering, the king leads a lavish life with a
taste for luxury cars, first-class travel and expensive parties,
The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has claimed that the
improved power generation currently experienced by Nigerians is not
likely sustainable.
Joe Ajaero, the body general secretary, provided the reasons for the
improvements and explained why the things would soon get back to the
previous point. He was quoted as saying by Vanguard:
“During this time of the year, there is always a slight improvement in
power supply because of the rise in water level. That is, the lake goes
up and hydro power stations generate more power.
Second is the Buhari factor which has made operator to sit up and added
to that, before now, the gas pipelines were usually vandalized.
“We suspect it may be in collaboration by some highly placed individuals
who award contracts for the pipelines to be repaired which runs into
billions of Naira. If the pipelines are vandalized and the contracts are
awarded for repairs,
almost every two months, it is big money for them. I think that because
of the fear that those who engaged in the business may be caught, for
now there is relative peace and the gas pipelines are delivering gas to
the power plants.
“But we fear the current power situation may not be sustainable. Once
the rainy season ends and the water level drops, there will be problem.
Again, today all power being generated is being pumped into the system,
there is no reserve in case of any break down, and there is no reserve
in case of maintenance and so on. We ought to have reserve for
emergencies. Sadly, we do not have that at the moment.”
It should be noted that improvement in power generation has been
attributed to the successful performance of President Muhammadu Buhari
in his first 100 days in office. Several groups and some individuals
have commended the presidency for having fulfilled one of its elections
campaign promises.

The 32-year-old South African woman named Mosiea Moosa who initially
lied that she was 7 months pregnant, was actually carrying packages of
the drugs in her stomach and her urogenital tract. She was arrested on
August 30 when she landed at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport,
Hyderabad, India from Dubai on an Emirates flight,The Times of India
reports.
Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) sleuths became suspicious after looking
at her passport and travel pattern over the last one week. On subjecting
her to medical examination, they discovered that she had swallowed the
banned drugs which were packed in small polymer packets.
She was rushed to Osmania Hospital by the NCB sleuths to get the packets
of drugs out of her body. The NCB sleuths intercepted Mosiea at the RGI
Airport after she arrived from Dubai by Emirates flight EK-526 on
Sunday morning.
"When we intercepted her, Mosiea said she was walking with difficulty as
she was seven-month pregnant. When we shifted her to a corporate
hospital at he airport for preliminary examination, she admitted that
she was carrying narcotics in her stomach," a NCB officer said.By giving
laxatives, the hospital staff managed to extract 16 pouches of
narcotics substance. The NCB officials confirmed that no surgery was
performed on the woman and she was under medical supervision.
"We have not yet conducted checks on the narcotics recovered from the
culprit. However, by looking at her travel pattern and the narcotics
market, we suspect that the substance could be cocaine from Brazil," a
NCB official said.According to the NCB, Mosiea landed in Dubai from
Johannesburg on August 23. The next day, she took a flight to Sao Paulo
City (Guarulhos International Airport) in Brazil. On August 28, she
returned to Dubai from Sao Paulo. On Sunday, she reached Hyderabad from
Dubai.
"As a major portion of cocaine consumed the world over is manufactured
in Brazil, we believe that she was carrying the contraband. Her return
journey to Johannesburg has been booked from Hyderabad via Dubai on
September 10," the NCB source said.The NCB sleuths believe that Mosiea
brought the banned substance from Sao Paulo, and after a break in Dubai
for two days, she landed up in Hyderabad.
"She is returning to Johannesburg only after a gap of 10 days. So, the
receiver could be somewhere close to Hyderabad, but the final receiver
of the product could be anywhere," the NCB official supervising the
operation said.

I have lots of male friends,in fact I love to keep them as friend even
my parent know that very well. In my little study about guys and my
interactions with them,I discovered that guys actually could get
seriously in love with a girl and when they do,these are the signs
1. He will always want to be with you
It is possible for a guy to be always busy but the truth is,if a guy
truly loves a girl,he will try to create time out of his busy schedule
just to be with her.
2. He feels so confident about you
That moment when you step into a place and he walks up to you and tell
you how georgous you look even though you are not putting on the best of
clothes.If he sees beauty in you when others think of you as
ugly,That's a sign.
3. When he is willing to wait
He may be one guy who loves sex and loves making out with whoever he
dates but when he decides to wait till he is committed "married" before
he dig it down with you then it means he thinks of you as special.He
loves you..
4. When he introduces you to his friends and family
When a guy loves you,he wont hesitate to do the needful because He feels
lucky having you and he is scared of loosing you to another guy.
5. He always want to be seen in public with you by his side
When he takes you out to every occasion he attends,it doesn't mean he is
selfish/overprotective of you. It means he feels confident about you
and he loves you. He doesn't see the relationship as just a joke and he
is ready to invest his time and his resource to build up lovely
memories.
6. When he sees you and smile even though he is upset
When your guy seem to be upset with everything and everybody around him
but immediately you show up he smiles like kilode........That is a sign
that you mean a lot to him.
7. When he respect your privacy and is concerned about your success
when he respect the fact that you need to work or study and in most
cases he's willing to burn the night with you just to make sure you
achieve your goal successfully. Then he loves you
8. When he tell you crazy things and does crazy things
When he tells you how many times he purged that morning after eating
something funny,how had to sneak into the kitchen to taste what you were
cooking when you were not looking,when he still kisses from you wen you
are not looking....That means he sees you as a friend,confidant and as
his love

Growing up, we would watch various news reports on Newsline with Frank
Olize. Some of these reports were happy, while some were immensely sad.
We vividly remember watching numerous reports on women doused with acid
by their boyfriends or husbands. Many were left scarred for life.
Years later, acid attacks against women still occur in Nigeria and countries around the world such as India.
An Indian woman named Reshma is
raising major awareness on the issue. Reshma who is from Mumbai in
India was attacked her by her brother-in-law and other men. She was
allegedly doused with sulphuric acid and as a result of this attack, her
left eye is gone and her face is severely disfigured.
She is now bravely facing the world via a YouTube series called “Beauty Tips by Reshma.”

The Nigerian Army has reaffirmed its stand on ending terrorism in three months as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, stated this while giving an update on the counter-insurgency operation, at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday.
He stated:
“I have no iota of doubt in my mind that our troops will wipe out the
insurgents in the shortest possible time and we are committed to this
target. You are aware that our troops recaptured Gamboru Ngala last
Tuesday and are now consolidating, mopping up and preparing for the next
offensive against the terrorists. It is gratifying to note that most of
the terrorist group leadership, has been decimated, while foot soldiers
are abandoning their masters, burying their weapons in the forest and
seeking solace. It is the achievements from harmonised efforts that have
confirmed our stand that the insurgency would be ended as soon as
possible.
I would like to acknowledge the commendable role the Nigerian Air Force
plays in the fight against terrorism, alongside sister service and other
security agencies. The bombardment of identified Boko Haram terrorists’
location, close air support, air surveillance and interdiction by the
Nigerian Air Force, have enhanced the ongoing operation’s efficiency and
successes. In addition to providing water and airlift of other
logistics to the war front, the air force has been a force multiplier as
troops are confident that they would receive quick medical attention
when necessary.”
The director assured that the military would do its part by ensuring
that recaptured territories were secured well enough for the government
to commence reconstruction work.
A few days ago photos of Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose,
talking to late State workers surfaced online and caused quite a
controversy as some of them were kneeling down and lying down to beg
him.
