Kemi Adeosun resigned her job

Kemi Adeosun, the minister of finance, resigned her appointment so as not to be a baggage to President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid, her associates have told TheCable. Daily Trust broke the news of her resignation on Friday following a report by Premium Times that she presented a forged NYSC exemption certificate as part of her credentials. But TheCable learnt that she was still working in her office as at noon on Friday, casting doubts on her resignation. However, two of her close associates told TheCable that she “toed the path of honour by choosing to step down so that her NYSC issue will not be used against the president and the party” in the 2019 electioneering. “Posterity will judge her for going the honourable thing by resigning,” one of the associates said. However, many have argued that she should have resigned long before now after Premium Times broke the story of her certificate scandal. The presidency is yet to officially confirm her resignation. Calls to her spokesperson rang out. Adeosun graduated from the Polytechnic of East London in 1989, at 22. According to her curriculum vitae, she was born in March 1967. Nigerians who graduate after 30 years of age get exempted from NYSC. NYSC certificate is a requirement for government and private sector jobs in Nigeria.

Ikokore : An Ijebu Food

Ifokore, is a Yam Pottage dish made with Water Yam  not White Yam. It is a pottage recipe from the Ijebu people of Ogun state and ijebu from Lagos state , Nigeria. I’m yet to come across an Ijebu person who doesn’t love Ikokore,  Ikokore remains a staple in an ijebu household. To really enjoy Ikokore, you’ll need to incorporate as much proteins as you possibly can to enrich it. Your best bets are Shaki, ( intestine ) Ponmo, Chicken, Goat meat, Gizzard, Smoked Turkey, Smoked Fish, Panla, Eja Kika, the more the merrier. The authentic Ikokore recipe requires no blended pepper, it calls for just Scotch Bonnet (Ata rodo) and in some cases, dry ground pepper but I’m not too keen on hot and spicy dishes so I settle for Shombo. Ingredients: A Tuber of Water yam 3 Cooking spoons Palm Oil 4 Cups Chicken or Beef Stock/ Water #100 Shombo/Tatashe or 4Tablespoons dry ground pepper #50 Scotch Bonnet (ata Rodo) Smoked Fish (Eja Kika) or Shawa (Bonga fish)Shredd...

MY FACT ABOUT BIAFRA.

This is a part some people will not like to hear, but we will say it here for historical purposes. When the great Biafran leader, Col. Dim Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu was granted a state pardon by President Shehu Shagari in 1982, the Ikemba soon contested for Senate under the then National Party of Nigeria (NPN), but did his people vote for him? Lest we also forget, he contested for the presidency, how many votes did he got even in Anambra? Let us bring in Chief Alex Ekweme. We recall, despite being founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),he contested for the party nomination for president in 2002. We all remember how the South-East governors then did all they could to outdo themselves to be seen to be more loyal to President Olusegun Obasanjo than even his own ministers. There was nothing wrong in all these for these people as long as it all guarantees fat bank accounts and unmerited rewards. No one talks about Biafra when contract figures are inflated; Biafra makes no sense ...

STRAIGHTalk with Dr. Doyin Okupe

One major characteristic feature of a Representative Democracy is the ability of the government to be accountable to the citizens. Since elected public office holders assumed power through public votes, it becomes imperative of them to remain accountable to the public. However, Public Accountability in governing the affairs of people and management of public asset especially in Nigeria has remained questionable. Public Institutions such as, EFCC, ICPC and indeed Code of Conduct Bureau/Tribunal established to hold public office holders accountable to the electorates have become political machinery to whittle-down the power of oppositions. Notwithstanding all these, the present administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria has consistently promised to be more accountable to the electorates.
