2019 ELECTION :PDP acuses APC for importing thugs!
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state was importing thugs and ammunition into the state.
The PDP said APC embarked on this in a desperate bid to win Saturday’s bye-election into the vacant House of Representatives seat of Oke Ero/Irepodun/Ekiti/Isin Federal Constituency.
However, the APC, in its reaction, described the allegation as baseless and said the PDP was only raising a false alarm.
Chairman of the PDP in the state, Kola Shittu, who spoke in Ilorin on Monday, alleged that the APC was importing the thugs from Lagos and Osun states. He said that the motive behind the importations was to disrupt and manipulate the election.
While stating that he had it on good authority that some suspected political thugs were already in the state, Shittu alleged that a leader of the NURTW in Lagos would arrive the Federal Constituency with many others from Tuesday.
He said: “The imported thugs, we learnt, will be camped at different hotels in Ekiti, Oke Ero, Isin and Irepodun local government areas from where they will be operating. The plan of the APC is to deploy these thugs to harass and intimidate members and supporters of the PDP from turning up at voting centres, especially in areas considered to be the stronghold of our party. This will also give the APC leeway to carry out their planned rigging.”
The PDP chairman also said that there was plan by The Federal Government to deploy about 20,000 policemen and soldiers for the bye-election and described the plan as a ploy to create fear in minds of the voters.
“We also believe that this heavy deployment of security officers is deliberate because Kwara is the home base of the Senate President. Our party condemns in its entirety this unnecessary show of force,” he said.
After been elected as the first female director of socials, she dared to surmon the most vibrant and highly intellectual personalities in her team, the ''Team Social Waka'' which includes :

Trump Says Germany Is ‘Captive’ to Russia: Live NATO Updates
Getting ready to leave for Europe. First meeting - NATO. The U.S. is spending many times more than any other country in order to protect them. Not fair to the U.S. taxpayer. On top of that we lose $151 Billion on Trade with the European Union. Charge us big Tariffs (& Barriers)!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 10, 2018
Right Now: Chancellor Angela Merkel rejected President Trump’s claims about Germany.
• President Trump is in Brussels as part of a seven-day, three-nation European trip that highlights the ways he has utterly transformed United States foreign policy.
• Mr. Trump has disparaged NATO,
and a meeting on Wednesday with the alliance’s secretary general got
off to a confrontational start when he said other nations must spend
more on defense and that Germany was a “captive of Russia” on energy.
•
Mr. Trump has upended generations of American diplomacy, antagonizing
and belittling traditional allies over issues like defense and trade,
while refraining from criticizing Russia, a traditional adversary.
• After the NATO summit meeting, he is to travel to Britain and then to Finland to meet with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
•
The New York Times will have live coverage from Brussels throughout the
meeting, from our White House reporters and European correspondents.
In combative start, Trump belittles allies, especially Germany
Mr.
Trump kicked off his meetings on a contentious note, calling allies
“delinquent” for failing to spend enough on their own defense and
attacking Germany as a “captive” of Russia because of its energy
dealings.
“Many
countries are not paying what they should, and, frankly, many countries
owe us a tremendous amount of money from many years back,” Mr. Trump
said at a breakfast with Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO secretary general,
at the residence of the United States ambassador to Belgium. “They’re
delinquent, as far as I’m concerned, because the United States has had
to pay for them.”
He
singled out Germany for particularly sharp criticism, saying the
country was “totally controlled by Russia” because of its dependence on
Russian natural gas. The United States spends heavily to defend Germany
from Russia, he said, and “Germany goes out and pays billions and
billions of dollars a year to Russia.”
In
March, Germany gave approval for Gazprom, the Russian energy titan, to
construct the Nord Stream 2 pipeline through its waters, a $10 billion
project.
“Germany
is a captive of Russia” because of the oil and gas issue, Mr. Trump
said. “I think it’s something that NATO has to look at.”
Mr. Stoltenberg countered that “despite differences,” NATO was about uniting “to protect and defend each other.”
But
Mr. Trump shrugged off the collective defense principle, saying, “How
can you be together when a country is getting its energy from the
country you want protection against?” — Julie Hirschfeld Davis
Merkel reminds people that she knows what Russian control looks like
Merkel reminds people that she knows what Russian control looks like
Chancellor
Angela Merkel of Germany offered a reminder that she learned firsthand,
growing up in the former East Germany, what it means to be a “captive”
nation. Modern Germany, she said, is not one.
“I
have experienced myself how a part of Germany was controlled by the
Soviet Union,” she told reporters who asked about Mr. Trump’s comments
as she entered the NATO leaders’ meeting. Now “united in freedom,” she
said, Germany “can make our own policies and make our own decisions.”
In
her typical polite-but-firm fashion, Ms. Merkel showed no sign of
irritation at Mr. Trump’s remarks and did not say directly that he was
wrong, but she made her position clear.
She
noted that Germany was the second-largest provider of NATO troops,
after the United States, and had thousands of troops supporting the
American-led effort in Afghanistan.
“Germany does a lot for NATO,” she said, adding that, in the process, Germans “defend the interests of the United States.”
On military spending, Trump cites a real imbalance in misleading ways
American
presidents have long pressed other NATO nations to increase military
spending. But Mr. Trump’s insistence that they owe money to the
organization or to the United States misstates how the alliance works,
and the figures he cites are misleading. (Our reporters fact-checked the president’s claims on the financial relationship between the United States and NATO countries.)
NATO
has a budget to cover shared costs and some equipment that is used in
joint operations, and all 29 member countries contribute to it according
to their gross national income. None of the allies has failed to pay
its contribution.
Mr.
Trump’s complaint is that, while NATO has agreed that each member
country should spend at least 2 percent of its gross domestic product on
defense, most of them do not. But none has failed to comply with that
agreement, because the 2 percent figure is a target to be reached by
2024.
According to NATO,
all member countries have significantly raised military spending since
2014, and eight of them are expected to meet the goal in 2018.
Mr.
Trump tweeted on Monday that the United States accounted for 90 percent
of military spending by NATO countries, but the alliance says the real
figure is about 67 percent. And most American military spending is not
NATO-related.
Even
so, the organization says on its website, “there is an overreliance by
the alliance as a whole on the United States for the provision of
essential capabilities, including for instance, in regard to
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; air-to-air refueling;
ballistic missile defense; and airborne electronic warfare.”
Mr.
Trump has a point about the outsize burden the United States shoulders,
a commitment that previous presidents have considered vital. But are
other countries in arrears in paying for their defense? No. — Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Steven Erlanger
NATO struggles to deal with its biggest critic: Trump
Mr. and Mrs. Trump before departing for Brussels.

Even before the meeting between Mr. Trump and Mr. Stoltenberg, NATO leaders were trying to figure out how to be polite but firm with a United States president who disparages multilateral alliances, and dispenses with the usual platitudes in favor of lashing out on Twitter.
Generations
of United States policymakers have seen NATO as a bedrock of Western
security, but Mr. Trump describes its members mostly as a bunch of
freeloaders, riding on the coattails of American military spending
without holding up their end of the deal.
“NATO countries must pay MORE, the United States must pay LESS,” Mr. Trump tweeted on Tuesday,
before departing for Brussels. He also reiterated the claim he has used
to justify tariffs he recently imposed: That unfair practices are to
blame for the U.S. trade deficit with Europe and other regions of the
world.
Where his predecessors have spoken warmly of the allies and warned of Russian aggression, Mr. Trump has had harsh words for NATO, which he has called “obsolete,” and member countries like Canada and Germany, while rarely criticizing Russia.
Privately,
leaders of other NATO countries wonder if the president just wants to
goad them into raising military spending and strengthen the alliance, or
if he would prefer to abandon it. Either way, his approach, using overt
threats and insults, is a far cry from the usual diplomatic
give-and-take, and his counterparts are wary of provoking Mr. Trump.
Aside
from military spending, NATO allies are more at odds with American
policy than they have been many years, disagreeing on issues like his
withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris climate accords, and
the trade war he has started.
Stoltenberg shrugs off Trump’s scolding, insisting the alliance is strong
If
Mr. Stoltenberg felt ambushed by Mr. Trump, he gave no sign of it,
declining to get drawn into an argument with the president in front of a
clutch of reporters.
Instead,
the secretary general, a generally unflappable Norwegian, stuck to his
mantra of recent days: NATO members are united on the principle of
collective defense, whatever their disagreements.
Rather
than confronting Mr. Trump, he has repeatedly given nods to the
president, praising his “direct language” and “plain-speaking,” and
saying that “we all agree” that more military spending is needed.
Mr.
Stoltenberg gamely stuck to his insistence that dissension does not
undermine the alliance, even as Mr. Trump continued to denigrate it.
“We
see differences, disagreements between allies,” he said on Wednesday.
“I’m confident that despite discussions, disagreements, we will decide
and we will deliver.”
“Two World Wars and the Cold War taught us we are stronger together than apart,” Mr. Stoltenberg said.

President
Trump will have brief private meetings with Chancellor Angela Merkel of
Germany and President Emmanuel Macron of France on the sidelines of the
NATO summit meeting, his spokeswoman said.
The “pull-aside” talks are to come after the president attends formal meetings with NATO allies. .
Sarah
Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, said the president
would use his session with Ms. Merkel to reiterate concerns he raised
Wednesday morning about Germany’s energy dependence on Russia.
The talks could be awkward, given Mr. Trump’s recent criticisms of Europe, and Germany in particular.
But
if they are, the public may never know about it. Ms. Sanders said the
White House would not allow any media coverage of either encounter. — Julie Hirschfeld Davis
With an eye on Russia, Baltics fear cracks in a security bulwark
With an eye on Russia, Baltics fear cracks in a security bulwark
Perhaps nowhere is European fear about American intentions more pronounced than in the Baltic States — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Long
ruled by the Russian giant to the east, these small nations gained
their independence in the early 1990s with the collapse of the Soviet
Union, and they see a very real danger in Russia’s assertiveness under Mr. Putin.
The countries joined NATO in 2004 to ward off that threat, and the alliance has recently stationed troops in the Baltic States as a kind of tripwire for any Russian incursion.
But
when asked two years ago, before he was elected, whether the United
States would defend the Baltic countries against a Russian attack, Mr. Trump equivocated. “If they fulfill their obligations to us,” he said, “the answer is yes.”
There
are significant ethnic Russian minorities in the Baltics, and people
there are acutely aware that protecting Russians was the reason the
Kremlin gave for its incursions into Ukraine.
As Trump snipes at Europe, a European snipes back
As Trump snipes at Europe, a European snipes back
With
heads of state taking care not to poke Mr. Trump, Donald Tusk,
president of the European Council, has emerged as the Continent’s most
prominent and pointed critic of the president.
Mr.
Tusk, one of the leaders of the European Union, has no formal role in
NATO, but the two groups have a large overlap in membership. On Tuesday
they signed a statement of cooperation.
Mr.
Tusk has made clear that he is paying close attention to the summit, he
has a megaphone, and he’s not afraid to use it. Tweaking and refuting
Mr. Trump, often slyly and sometimes quite directly, his comments are
widely seen to reflect what other European leaders are thinking but are
unwilling to say publicly.
The
United States “doesn’t have and won’t have a better ally than EU,”
whose members combined spend more on defense than Russia, he tweeted on Wednesday. “I hope you have no doubt this is an investment in our security.”
In June, after Mr. Trump’s angry exit from the Group of 7 summit and his broadside at Justin Trudeau,
the Canadian prime minister who played host to that meeting, Mr. Tusk
tweeted, “There is a special place in heaven for @JustinTrudeau.”
He used sharper language in May, after Mr. Trump withdrew from the Iran agreement and announced trade sanctions. Mr. Tusk tweeted, “with friends like that who needs enemies.”
Idle thumbs? Meeting rooms will be a Twitter-free zone
Mr. Trump enjoys sending Twitter barbs at his adversaries, but he will be restrained during the NATO summit meeting.
In
NATO’s new building, in the massive high-tech meeting room, no mobile
phones are allowed — not even for a president. Even if they were
permitted, they probably would not work, because NATO jams signals in
the building to prevent eavesdropping or hacking.
So at least for the hours he is with other leaders, Mr. Trump will be under a cone of silence.
Mr.
Trump will have to wait until he’s outside the NATO building to get to
his Twitter account in order to reassure his many followers that he
remains the @realdonaldtrump. — Steven Erlanger
A show of solidarity with Ukraine
NATO leaders are set to meet with their Ukrainian counterparts on Thursday to show solidarity with Kiev, in the face of the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, and Moscow’s continuing military support of rebels in eastern Ukraine.
The
meeting is pointed reminder from the West of the principle that one
nation should not violate the territorial integrity of another, before
Mr. Trump’s meeting with Mr. Putin in Finland. Talks on resolving the
dispute in Ukraine have essentially stalled, and Western diplomats do
not expect significant progress on the issue at the Helsinki summit
meeting.
NATO
leaders are also to meet with the leaders of Georgia on Thursday, in a
similar show of support for Tbilisi against Russia, which has occupied
parts of Georgia since 2008.
Ukraine and Georgia will be invited to discuss their progress in security and defense overhauls and their cooperation with NATO.
Membership
is a different matter, however. In 2008, at a summit meeting in
Bucharest, NATO promised both Ukraine and Georgia eventual membership in
the alliance, infuriating Mr. Putin. Those plans have been put on hold.
— Steven Erlanger
After NATO: The queen, Theresa May and Vladimir Putin
After NATO: The queen, Theresa May and Vladimir Putin
Military
spending and NATO’s stance toward Russia will be central topics at the
summit meetings, at a time when leaders of other Western countries worry
about a reduced American security role in dealing with Moscow.
Russia is waging a proxy war against Ukraine, has forcibly annexed part of that country, has meddled in other nations’ elections, gives crucial support to the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, and stands accused of using a chemical weapon on British soil.
After
the NATO meeting, Mr. Trump will travel on Thursday to Britain, where
he is scheduled to meet with Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister
Theresa May. He will spend little time in London, where thousands of
people are expected to attend protests against the president, who is not
popular in Britain. The American Embassy warned U.S. citizens to “keep a
low profile” during his visit because of the protests.
On
Saturday, Mr. Trump will travel to Scotland and stay at one of his golf
resorts, Trump Turnberry. The next day, he will fly to Helsinki, before
his meeting on Monday with Mr. Putin.
With
Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign under investigation for links to Russia, and
American relations with traditional allies strained, analysts will keep a
close eye on whether a friendlier mood prevails when the two presidents
meet.

Why Nigeria loses N300 billion every year – Obasanjo
A former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has said that the country loses about N300 billion every year to the prevention and treatment of malaria and other endemic diseases.
Obasanjo spoke yesterday at the launch and endowment for the proposed University of Medicine and Medical Studies to be built by the management of the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta.
The event took place at the site of the proposed varsity at Ajibayo village, OGTV-Ajebo Road, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
According to Obasanjo, the country was facing the challenge of dismal health issues like maternal mortality, infant mortality, non-communicable diseases and other life-threatening diseases.
The former military ruler also noted that 43 per cent of the population lacked access to safe water and adequate sanitation.
Obasanjo, who ruled Nigeria for eight years as a democratic-elected president after serving as head of state, said that the country loses N300bn to the treatment of diseases that could be prevented if the health sector was well funded.
According to him, “Nigeria loses about N300bn annually to the prevention and treatment of malaria, including the loss of man-hours and diminished productivity.
“These alarming statistics are further worsened by a number of infrastructural deficiencies.
“It is common knowledge that 43 per cent of the population lacks access to safe water, 37 per cent lacks access to adequate sanitation and about 40 per cent lacks access to public health services.
“Apart from the endemic diseases , the rising number of non-communicable and life-threatening diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic kidney diseases, cancers of the breast and cervix among our women, prostate and colon cancer among men is alarming.
“There is also a challenge of malnutrition and food security in the country,” he said.

World Cup 2018: FIFA to pay Super Eagles £6.1 million after crashing out [See other prizes]
The Super Eagles of Nigeria and other teams that crashed out on the group stages of the 2018 World Cup will be paid only £6.1 million each by the football governing body, FIFA.
Nigeria would have received £9.1 million if the match against Argentina ended in their favour.
This is because any team eliminated from the round of 16 stage will receive £9.1million.
The World Cup winning team will receive £28 million in prize money from FIFA, with 2nd, 3rd and 4th place teams receiving £21million, £18million and £16million respectively.
This means that for the World Cup winners, each player in the 23 man squad would pocket £1.2million.
The 32 teams were also given £1.1million each to prepare for the tournament.

Cheating Husband Gets Stuck Inside His Landlady During Sex (Video)
By Mafat David - June 12, 2018
Maybe they were just discussing house rent matterz
A man and his landlady got stuck in each other while having sex, after the man's wife, who suspected her husband of infidelity, sought the services of a native doctor.
The pair were carrying out the clandestine affair in a room in Baraka hotel, Kitale, Kenya on Friday, 8 June 2018, when things took a mysterious turn. They were soon heard shouting from the locked hotel room and begging for help and when the management of the hotel opened the door, they saw the couple stuck.
After the management of the hotel found the co-joined bodies, they contacted the police who arrived the scene and took the pair to the police station after which they invited the man's wife.
According to reports, the man is a businessman whose wife hails from Lodwar. The wife reportedly informed the police that she noticed her landlady went missing every time he went to Kitale for business appointments. She became suspicious and confronted her husband but he denied it. As a last resort, the wife sought the help of a witch doctor who cast a spell on her husband.
Watch the video below.
The Dean of Faculty of Law, University of Jos (UNIJOS), Prof. Dakas C. Dakas, has revealed that the University awarded First Class degrees to about 20 graduands in error.
The error, which occurred on the university’s convocation ceremony web portal, saw several graduands of the department’s 2015/2016 academic session bagging First Class degrees.
The 2015/2016 set of Law students at the university produced only one First Class graduand, Olusegun Pelumi Adewunmi, but several other graduands from the Law Department said they logged on to discover they had been awarded higher class of degree.
About 20 graduands from the Department of Law at the University were said to have been erroneously awarded First Class degrees by the university.
Reacting, Prof. Dakas told newsmen in Jos on Monday that the incident was due a technical error from the ITC department.
“The degrees were awarded to the graduands in error. It was an internal problem that would be resolved soon. The students have attested to the fact that their class of degree was awarded in error,” he said.
Prof. Dakas said the university authority was working round the clock to resolve the problem ahead of the 29th and 30th Combined Convocation coming up on June 23.
