Xenophobic Attacks: South Africa begs Nigeria
The government of South Africa has pleaded with Nigeria and other nations in Africa affected by the ongoing xenophobic attacks in the country. ECOWAS has condemned the attacks and demanded urgent actions from the South African government.
South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Maite Emily Nkoana-Mashabane, who met with Ambassadors and High Commissioners from African countries in South Africa, noted that “it is therefore with a deep sense of pain and regret that we as the South African Government humbled ourselves before the African diplomatic community; and we expressed, through them, our heartfelt apologies to the African continent and people for the actions of those of our citizens who have behaved in a shameful manner”.

Huge debts await Buhari, in-coming govs
BY CLIFFORD NDUJIHE
AFTER the euphoria of their electoral victories, one of the major challenges that will confront the President-elect, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), and 20 or 21 new governors is the level of debt stock the out-going administrations will leave behind.
According to the Debt Management Office, DMO, the Federal Government has a stock of $6.445 billion in external debt (N1.29 trillion at the rate of one dollar to N200)) and another N7. 9 trillion domestic debt totalling N9.19 trillion, as of December 31, 2014. This is the equivalent of two years budget.
The huge debt stock, if not properly managed, can hamper the delivery of democracy dividends.

Why black South Africans are attacking foreign Africans but not foreign whites
Sibusiso Tshabalala
April 15, 2015
The attacks on migrant shop owners in Durban this week reminds us the
position of foreigner in South Africa is a complex one. After decades
of isolation from the rest of the African continent, and the world,
during apartheid, South Africa finally opened up to the rest of world in
1994.
Under apartheid, South Africa’s immigration mirrored the narrow mindedness and prejudice of the National Party. Several laws made visiting or living in South Africa unpalatable to many. Particularly those of non-European descent.

Buhari will reduce petrol to N40/Litre - Tam David-West Boasts
Former Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Prof. Tam David-West, in a telephone conversation with Vanguard said Buhari will reduce the current fuel price which is N87 to about N40 per litre when he becomes president.
Excerpt from what he said! “I want to assure you that by the time he takes over, petrol will be dispensed at N40 per litre. This is possible and he has the credibility to make it work. The major assignment of the president-elect when he's eventually inaugurated is to restore confidence to the industry. As military head of state, he dealt with the Federal Executive Council with the tenets of democracy. Buhari will build new refineries to make petroleum products available for the masses. No responsible government will allow the masses to suffer. He will strengthen the refineries within a year. It is possible as we won’t spend any amount in setting up a green field refinery. We already have a blueprint as we shall use what we have to get what we want." He said

We Can't Cancel Rivers And Akwa Ibom Results - INEC
The Independent National Electoral Commission has
said it has no power to cancel the results of the governorship and state
Houses of Assembly elections in Rivers and Akwa Ibom states.
It made this known to The PUNCH a few hours after the European Union Election Observation Mission to Nigeria on Monday called for a probe of the “severe problems” that characterised the polls in the two states.
The Chief Press Secretary to the INEC chairman, Kayode Idowu, said those calling on the commission to cancel the results were misdirecting their request.
He explained that once results had been announced by INEC , only election petition tribunals had the power to cancel and order fresh elections.
Idowu said, “The law does not allow us to cancel any result after it has been announced. Everyone knows this.
“It is only the election petition tribunals that can order that or even cancelled the elections. We would advice anyone who is aggrieved to go to the court. “
Also in Abuja on Monday, EU EOM said the elections in Akwa Ibom and Rivers states needed to be probed because of accusations of rigging, intimidation and violence by opponents of the winners.
Udom Emmanuel won the governorship in election in Akwa Ibom while a former Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike, triumphed in Rivers.
The Chief Observer of the EU EOM, Santiago Fisas, said at a news conference that even though the elections witnessed “more efficient polling, “there were “increased incidents of violence and interference.”
He added, “On April 12, INEC referred to 66 reports of violent incidents targeting polling units, INEC officials, voters and election materials in 19 states in all geopolitical zones except for the North-East.

Must Read- Five men that influenced Ambode’s victory (By Kola Popson)
A day to April 11, 2015, it would have been quite difficult for
anyone to say confidently who would emerge the Governor-elect of Lagos
State between the two major contestants, Akinwunmi Ambode of All
Progressive Congress (APC) and Jimi Agbaje of Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP). Though the supporters of both candidates would probably tell you
that they were sure that their candidates would emerge the winner, the
truth is that inside them, they were very doubtful of what the outcome
of the results would be. However, now that Akinwunmi Ambode has been
declared the winner of the 2015 Lagos State Gubernatorial election, it
is pertinent to note those personalities whose traits, contributions and
influences had helped swing the pendulum in favour of Ambode. There are
many of them, but for the purpose of this piece, five key players would
be considered.

Gen. Buhari Vows to Prosecute Election Offenders
According to him,that is the only way to prevent offenders from reaping from where they did not sow.
“I think it has to be totally exposed so that Nigerians will know which of the law enforcement agencies and at what levels is undermining the Constitution of Nigeria because the Electoral Act is derived from the Constitution of the country, so that in future, those who are in position will know that they are not beyond the law. I think that is what will bring more stability into the system. In view of that, I will try and work with the National Assembly to make sure that we do something about it.
Football- Unstoppable Arsenal cut Chelsea's lead to four points
England's Aaron Ramsey was the saving grace for the second place Arsenal
as they cut down Chelsea's lead on the English Premier League table to
four points on Saturday following their 1-0 victory over Burnley at the
Turf More stadium.
Ramsey 12th minute strike gave the Arsene Wenger-led side the all important three points over Mike Dean's men, who defeated the defending champions, Manchester City at the Ethiad a fortnight ago.
The two teams needed the game badly- Burnley, to get away from the relegation zone but the Gunners gunning for the title as well as guarantee a comfortable place ahead of next season's champions league qualification.
Meanwhile, Yannick Bolasie's hattrick turned the stadium of light into darkness as Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace demolished 16th place Sunderland 4-1.
Glenn Murray gave the visitors the lead in the 48th minute of the game after which Bolasie put three goals in the net in 11 minutes to keep Palace 11th on the league table.
Tim Sherwood's return to White Hart Lane was unpleasant for the home team as Aston Villa stole all three points in their game on Saturday with Christian Benteke's 35th minute goal.
Tottenham had fired Sherwood following his poor performance at the club but it seems the Villa manager had paid them back with the victory that has kept them two places clear of relegation.
Swansea City 1 - 1 Everton
FT Southampton 2 - 0 Hull City
FT Sunderland 1 - 4 Crystal Palace
FT Tottenham Hotspur 0 - 1 Aston Villa
FT West Bromwich Albion 2 - 3 Leicester City
FT West Ham United 1 - 1 Stoke City
FT Burnley 0 - 1 Arsenal
