By  Gbade Ogunwale

Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, the Director of Media and Publicity of the organisation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, urged Buhari to withdraw from the contest and to apologise to Nigerians.

Consequently, Buhari had said he would contact authorities of the Government College, Katsina, to furnish him with copies of the certificate.
But the PDP insisted that the APC flag bearer had committed a “grave criminal offence” under the law and constitution.

Meet The World’s Oldest Mother of Triplets At 70!!!

The world’s oldest mother is dying just 18 months after giving birth at the age of 70.
Rajo Devi Lohan says she is too weak to recover from complications after her IVF pregnancy.
News about her condition came as it emerged that a 66-year-old has become the oldest woman in the world to have triplets.

Frail: Rajo Devi Lohan is too weak to care for her 18-month-old daughter Naveen.

Some experts fear Bhateri Devi could suffer the same fate as Mrs Lohan.
Both women received IVF treatment at the same controversial clinic in India after being unable to bear children throughout their married lives, which is regarded as a stigma in their culture.
Mrs Lohan, who gave birth to her daughter Naveen in November 2008, is now confined to bed and so frail she cannot lift the little girl.

A soldier with a rifle cannot claim to be under-equipped- Badeh

The Chief of Defence staff, Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh, says any Nigerian soldier with a riffle cannot complain of being under-equipped. According to him, Nigerian soldiers enjoy free accommodation, transportation, Electricity and other pecks which those in the civil service do not enjoy. Badeh said this and more in an interview with the Defence Headquarters magazine recently.

We live in houses we don’t pay for accommodation, we have buses that bring troops to work every day and take them back home, we don’t pay for light, we don’t pay for water, our salaries are good compare to what is paid in the civil place, if someone with school certificate joins the Army, by the time he is five years in the service, his salary has doubled that of a graduate. Why do you think Nigeria is doing that for us? Nigeria is doing that for us because we have vowed that we will defend our nation if need be with our blood; so for a soldier to come up and say am not well equipped, yet you have a riffle; what do you want? You want APC, you want tanks? The basic weapon of an infantry man is riffle, so why should there be mutiny…” he said

Much Ado About Osinbajo’s Twitter Photo Of Kano Rally

Hmmm. So yesterday, APC’s Vice-Presidential candidate tweeted a photo showing a tremendous huge crowd claiming it was the crowd that turned out for APC’s presidential rally in Kano, but the opposition party and observing Nigerians were quick to remind him the picture was taken at one of Reinhard Bonke's crusades.

Some Nigerians even felt embarrassed that the professor can join in the lies.

Osinbajo who then realised they had sent him a wrong photo quickly came back online and corrected the impression he lied, saying people who sent him the photo are Nigerians just like them, and he believed they had taken the picture for the rally. He however took some with his phone and re-posted them, to still prove Kano people love APC and they all turned out for the rally. He even tweeted some at Obanikoro who also doubted the photo. More after the cut.
