Cost of living rising not only in Nigeria - Fashola

 

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has defended the rising cost of living in Nigeria and worsening economic indicators.

 

In an interview on Channels Television, Fashola who was confronted with a chart showing indices such as a 220 percent increase in fertiliser prices between 2020 and 2022, decline of the naira’s value by 59.45 percent, and rise in the cost of cooking gas by 129 percent within the same time period, stated that the cost of living is not only rising in Nigeria but across the world.

 

He said; 

 

“I think it is perhaps not helpful to publish that spreadsheet in isolation. What you should do is to compare it with the rest of the world. Tell me anywhere in the world where the cost of living is not rising, whether it is UK, US.

“Just three days ago, CNN was showing a footage of Americans stealing fuel and they would not be stealing it if it was cheap; these are very challenging times globally for the entire world.

“So this is not an isolated occurrence that affects Nigeria only.”

 

Fashola also insisted that the Nigerian government is responding to the economic challenges. He added; 

 

“When Covid happened, we responded and put up an economic sustainability committee, and we cushioned the impact of the difficult times on Nigeria through a suite of measures. And the impact and result is now there for us to see.”

I was poisoned in Abuja at an entertainment event but I'm recuperating - Mr Ibu

 

Nollywood star, John Okafor popularly known as Mr Ibu has revealed that he is currently in the hospital because he was poisoned. 

 

The actor who spoke to Saturday Beats, said he wasn't poisoned in the village but in Abuja at an entertainment event.  He also disclosed that he is recuperating. 

 

Mr Ibu said; 

 

“I just got poisoned again. It seems my enemies are using me to rehearse (their powers). This time, I wasn’t poisoned in the village. I was poisoned in Abuja last week at an entertainment event. I really cannot explain how I was poisoned because it was a gathering of people, though it was not a big event.

“I am recuperating, although I have neither worked out nor driven since I got ill. However, I intend to take a walk this (Friday) evening, because I am hopeful that I would get better. I am eating well now, and I’m prepared to go back on set any moment from now.”

 

The actor also bashed those soliciting for funds on his behalf without his consent. Mr Ibu added; 

 

“Some people have sold me. They have not heard from me and all they want to do is ‘sell me’. But, their plans won’t work because God has raised me up. I am not begging anybody for money. My condition is not as critical as some people are making it seem. Anybody who has made it a point of duty to talk about my sickness and take advantage of it should stop. I am here (hospital) with my wife. I am not saying all my friends that are supposed to visit me and bring me money cannot do that. But, I have never asked anyone to beg people for money on my behalf. They should stop. If I want to die, I would let them know, since they seem to be so interested.”

Woman's lips swells to 'eight times the normal size' after allergic reaction to fillers

 

A woman's lips became extremely swollen after she suffered an extreme allergic reaction to her lip fillers.

 

Kailee Jones, 23, got the injections because she thought her lips looked too small.

 

 

She had 1ml of lip filler placed across her upper and lower lips, but claims that within an hour of the treatment her lips began to "balloon".

 

Kailee believes that she had an allergic reaction to the lip filler and says applying ice to her mouth only made the swelling worse.

 

The technology consultant spent the next 48 hours unable to speak, drink or eat normally because of her sore "sausage lips".

 

 

Kailee has shared the photos of her allergic reaction to warn people about the possible side effects of lip filler.

 

The graduate, from the US, said: "I've always had thinner lips and they disappear when I smile so I wanted to make them fit my face a little bit more.

 

"Everything went well at the appointment and the first hour after it started swelling but I think it was just normal because they do swell.

 

"I kept icing them and I think that the ice might have made it worse because then they really started to blow up.

 

"Once it hit after an hour or two they were really big and then it was 48 hours of them being that big."

 

She added: "I couldn't drink anything or even open my mouth to talk - I couldn't speak.

 

 

"I would say they were eight times the size of my normal lips, it was unreal. I looked like the Monsters, Inc. character."

 

Doctors gave Kailee oral steroids to bring the swelling down, but wanted her that the swelling may close her throat if it travelled from her lips to her neck.

 

Luckily, Kailee’s lips began to calm down after three days and she didn’t need further treatment or for the filler to be dissolved.

The catholic church has the most organized structure on the earth - Oyedepo

 

Bishop David Oyedepo has said that the Catholic Church has done a good job in terms of putting up a structure to run the church system.

 

Speaking to other men of God recently, the Senior Pastor of the Living Faith church opined that the Catholic church is the longest organized system on earth.

 

In his words

 

''In my own view, the Catholic has done a good job in terms of structure.  An extremely good job. Amazing good job. Where you can sit down and pull out materials of 50-60 years ago, in its original form. How many of us in ministry today can pull out materials from 10 years? 

It (The catholic church) is known to be the longest, organised system on the earth. About 2000 years in existence.

And then came the major protestant, the Church of England. They made a good deal of organization.

If we keep going like this, not one material will be traced to the Charismatic . If we keep going like we are going without reviewing our steps, without seeing the place or order, it will fizzle out because many are running it like a shop, you make sales on Sunday, spend it during the week and then come back the next market day.''

CHEI..........India police bust Nigerian gang that allegedly duped 700 girls looking for abroad-based grooms

 

A Nigerian gang allegedly involved in duping girls looking for non-resident Indian (NRI) grooms, has been busted by the Madhya Pradesh Police in India. 

 

According to officials, the gang has been operating for the past several years and has duped nearly 700 girls across the country, including in Madhya Pradesh and New Delhi. 

 

Two members of the gang identified as Nonase and Cris, were arrested from New Delhi and brought to Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday, March 22, a senior police official told the media.

 

A Gwalior-based woman lodged a complaint at a local police station alleging that the gang duped her of around Rs one lakh in lieu of providing a gift from London, the police said.

 

Based on the complaint, a team from the Crime Branch of Gwalior police launched an operation to nab the persons involved in the alleged duping case.

 

Their location was traced in New Delhi and subsequently, the police team was sent there.

 

"Their location was traced through bank details in which the woman in Gwalior had transferred Rs one lakh. Delhi Police was informed immediately for support,” Rajesh Dantotiya, Superintendent of Police, City, said at a press conference on Tuesday.

 

A joint team of the Madhya Pradesh and Delhi Police raided their residences and arrested two of the accused.

 

The police also said that they had confiscated 17 mobile phones, 10 international SIM cards and laptops from their possession.

 

During interrogation, the arrested persons told the police that they were operating the racket from New Delhi from the past several years and targeting girls across different states, Dantotiya said.

 

"They accessed details and contact numbers of women through matrimonial sites and then targeted them. First, they would chat with the victims on various platforms, then dupe them on the pretext of sending surprise gifts,” he added.

Peter Obi gives reasons why he attended Atiku Abubakar's Presidential declaration event (video)

 

Former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi, has given reasons why he was at Atiku Abubakar’s presidential declaration event on Wednesday, March 23.

 

Peter Obi had been Atiku's running mate in the 2019 presidential elections under the flagship of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but they lost to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

 

Now, many have been speculating that Peter Obi would declare his intention to run for the presidency in 2023, hence, it came as a surprise when he made a surprise appearance at Atiku's declaration event.

 

Asked why he decided to attend the declaration ceremony of someone many perceive as his political rival, Obi explained that he has nothing but respect for Atiku.

 

Obi said at the International Conference Centre, Abuja: "The reason why I am here is that this is new, as you know I play politics differently and to me, politics is not a war, it is a relationship and Atiku is my leader, he is my boss, he is a senior brother.

 

"If he invites me for anything I will attend, aspiring for anything does not say I should not keep my relationship that is very cordial and everything."

 

Obi added that despite aspiring to be the Nigerian president himself, he sees Atiku as a unifier.

 

He said: "I am aspiring but remember I always say it  Atiku Is a unifier, he believes in Nigeria, he is a good man and every time he invites me for anything I will be there; that notwithstanding I am aspiring  I want to serve Nigeria."

 

Asked if he will declare his intention to run for presidency, Obi replied:  "You will see very soon."
