A group of supposedly former militants has hijacked a ship off the Bakassi Peninsula coastline and threatened to blow it up along with its foreign crew if the detained Director of Radio Biafra and Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu is not released.
The group of hijackers has given the federal government a 31-day ultimatum to release Kanu or deal with a destroyed ship and murdered crew.
The militants said they enjoy the support of local residents and of pro-Biafra agitators in the area.
The group’s spokesman, identified only as General Ben, even said the militants might not wait for the expiration of the 31-day ultimatum to carry out their murderous threat.
“We cannot wait till the end of the 31 days to tell the federal government that we are serious. The vessel and the crew are in our custody.
“Any noise, any delay from government, we will blow up everything. We will blow the vessel and everybody in the vessel will go down,” the so-called general said.

Tinsel star, Joju Maryam Muse, has disclosed that sex toys are more reliable and trustworthy than most boyfriends.Muse, who is still single, said most African men cannot stand a woman who is more successful than them.
In a recent chat with New Telegraph, the model and budding songstress hinted that she would rather satisfy her sexual urge with her own hands or employ the use of sex toys.
On the use of sex toys to avoid multiple sexual partners, she said, “A lot of people mistake using sex toys for an addiction to masturbation but to me, it’s not an addiction.
“Addiction to masturbation is when you allow the act to control your life. But we will only be silly as human beings to deny some facts. Even animals touch themselves; it would only be hypocritical for a human being to say, ‘I don’t touch myself’ or to say that he or she hasn’t used a sex toy before.

=> Nigeria declares French compulsory for all students
-Nigerianeye
Students from primary to tertiary institutions will henceforth learn French language compulsorily, the federal government said at the weekend.
It said it will embark on intensive training of more French teachers in its bid to make it the nation’s second official language.
The Minister of State for Education, Prof Anthony Anwukah, stated these in Abuja yesterday when the French Ambassador to Nigeria, Denys Gaver, paid him a courtesy call.
Anwukah said: “French language is a matter of necessity. We have to because we have Cameroon, Niger, Chad, Benin Republic, Togo Guinea, and Ivory Coast surrounding us and so there is need for us to get more Nigerians to become proficient in French language.
“This is good for the continent; it is good for us as a nation. It is good for our brothers at the borders because it will enable us to communicate with them effectively.

=> $2.1billion Arms Deal: 'Don’t drag my sons in the mud' - Obanikoro - Nigerianeye
Former Minister Musiliu Obanikoro yesterday sought to rubbish media reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) traced N4.7billion believed to be from the $2.1billion slush funds from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) to the account of a company in which his two sons –Gbolahan and Babajide – are directors.
The money was allegedly paid in tranches into the Diamond Bank account of Sylvan McNamara Limited.
Responding to the reports through his media aide, Jonathan Eze, Obanikoro challenged the EFCC to publish the names of directors of the company.
He wondered why his sons whom he called thorough bred professionals in their own rights could be so maligned when it would not have cost the media much to verify from the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) the directors of the company at the time the transactions were made.
He urged the EFCC to be straight and above board in its investigations while avoiding speculations and conjectures infringing on the fundamental human rights of his sons.
Obanikoro said: “Associating my sons to the Sylvan McNamara account that allegedly received funds from the office of the embattled National security Adviser is highly preposterous and unthinkable.
“I am particularly amazed by the fact that trials and investigations are being done using the media unconventionally just to satisfy the cravings of political entities who are desperate to rub my hard earned reputation in the mud.”READ FULL NEWS....
=> How To Boost Power Sector – Fashola Reveals
- Leadership
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola SAN, has explained that the new Multi Year Tariff Order due to commence on February 1, was aimed at correcting the whole system in the entire value chain of the power sector and remained the most viable means to achieve steady power supply in the country.
Fashola, who spoke in an interview with media men at the site of the 2 X 60 MVA 132/33 KV Sub-Station Kukwaba Power Project during a continuation of the nationwide inspection, verification and fact finding tour of projects under his ministry, said the ready acceptance of the new Tariff Order would also galvanize the sector and boost Power Sector investments which would in turn usher in more development in the country .
Responding to a question from one of the journalists who wanted to know if investors with interest in smaller Power Plants still had a role and a market in the Power Sector given the bigger Generating Plants inspected in the course of the tour, the Minister who took time to differentiate between the two Power Plants and a number of Transmission Sub Stations inspected said investors would only come into the Sector if the pricing was right.

Iheanacho’s brace in the first half gave the opposition the perfect start to this comprehensive victory against an abysmal Villa side on their own ground.
He later secured his first hat-trick for the Etihad outfit in the rout. Iheanacho scored his first from the first corner of the game snatching home Fernando’s headed goal-bound ball on the line.
The second via a penatly awarded after Bacuna was adjudged to have shoved Raheem Sterling. Iheanacho scored his hat-trick when he ran into an empty space before beating Guzan at leisure.
His acrobat overhead kick led to the fourth with sterling bundling in to complete the rout.
Nigerian striker, Odion Ighalo’s late goal put his team to the fifth round after coming on as a late substitute, his 15th goal of the season.
The match was full of efforts and endeavours, but with little quality. The home team came into the match having conceded only once in their last five games and equally less effective scoring goals, Watford on the other hand were neat and purposeful but missed the predatory instinct of the Nigerian.
Ighalo made the difference when he eventually came on by capitalising on Kelvin Wilson mis-kick to drive in the decisive goal.

» Lassa fever: Two die in Nasarawa, one under surveillance- Punch
No fewer than two persons have been confirmed dead at the Dalhatu Specialist Hospital in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, following the outbreak of Lassa fever in the state.
The state commissioner for health, Dr Daniel Iya, confirmed the incident in Lafia during a public hearing organised by the Nasarawa State House of Assembly’s committee on health.
Iya disclosed that one victim was still under surveillance while another has been discharged.
He said the state did not have an isolation unit but only isolation rooms at the DASH, adding that there was no single isolation unit for the treatment of Lassa fever across the state.
The commissioner also hinted that Governor Umaru Al-Makura had already released the sum of N5.9m to control the spread of the virus across the state, promising to build an isolation unit in the state capital to effectively isolate and treat persons affected with the virus.
He said, “We have already bought 2000 injections of Ribavirin, 1000 tablets of Rivabirin and we are tracking about 130 persons in the state.”

Prince Eze Madumere is the Deputy Governor of Imo State. Before his election as Deputy Governor, he has been Chief of Staff to Owelle Rochas Okorocha. In this interview, Madumere refutes reports that Imo State Government owes civil servants arrears of salaries. He also votes for an indivisible Nigeria, Sam Egburonu reports
Where is widespread belief that Imo State Government still owes civil servants several months despite the bailout from the Federal Government. Was the bailout for clearing of outstanding salaries not enough or as some state governments, like Ekiti State are saying, there was no bailout in the first place but quarterly allocation to the state?
Imo State government owes no salaries. His Excellency, the Governor of Imo State before December approved the arrears of salaries of MDAs, including parastatals and even paid December salaries in advance. So, whosoever that is still discussing non-payment of salaries does so in bad faith.

=> Nigeria declares French compulsory for all students
-Nigerianeye
Students from primary to tertiary institutions will henceforth learn French language compulsorily, the federal government said at the weekend.
It said it will embark on intensive training of more French teachers in its bid to make it the nation’s second official language.
The Minister of State for Education, Prof Anthony Anwukah, stated these in Abuja yesterday when the French Ambassador to Nigeria, Denys Gaver, paid him a courtesy call.
Anwukah said: “French language is a matter of necessity. We have to because we have Cameroon, Niger, Chad, Benin Republic, Togo Guinea, and Ivory Coast surrounding us and so there is need for us to get more Nigerians to become proficient in French language.
“This is good for the continent; it is good for us as a nation. It is good for our brothers at the borders because it will enable us to communicate with them effectively.

=> $2.1billion Arms Deal: 'Don’t drag my sons in the mud' - Obanikoro - Nigerianeye
The money was allegedly paid in tranches into the Diamond Bank account of Sylvan McNamara Limited.
Responding to the reports through his media aide, Jonathan Eze, Obanikoro challenged the EFCC to publish the names of directors of the company.
He wondered why his sons whom he called thorough bred professionals in their own rights could be so maligned when it would not have cost the media much to verify from the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) the directors of the company at the time the transactions were made.
He urged the EFCC to be straight and above board in its investigations while avoiding speculations and conjectures infringing on the fundamental human rights of his sons.
Obanikoro said: “Associating my sons to the Sylvan McNamara account that allegedly received funds from the office of the embattled National security Adviser is highly preposterous and unthinkable.
“I am particularly amazed by the fact that trials and investigations are being done using the media unconventionally just to satisfy the cravings of political entities who are desperate to rub my hard earned reputation in the mud.”READ FULL NEWS....
=> How To Boost Power Sector – Fashola Reveals
- Leadership
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola SAN, has explained that the new Multi Year Tariff Order due to commence on February 1, was aimed at correcting the whole system in the entire value chain of the power sector and remained the most viable means to achieve steady power supply in the country.
Fashola, who spoke in an interview with media men at the site of the 2 X 60 MVA 132/33 KV Sub-Station Kukwaba Power Project during a continuation of the nationwide inspection, verification and fact finding tour of projects under his ministry, said the ready acceptance of the new Tariff Order would also galvanize the sector and boost Power Sector investments which would in turn usher in more development in the country .
Responding to a question from one of the journalists who wanted to know if investors with interest in smaller Power Plants still had a role and a market in the Power Sector given the bigger Generating Plants inspected in the course of the tour, the Minister who took time to differentiate between the two Power Plants and a number of Transmission Sub Stations inspected said investors would only come into the Sector if the pricing was right.

=> Nigerian Starlet Iheanacho scores hat-trick, And Ighalo strikes again
Iheanacho’s brace in the first half gave the opposition the perfect start to this comprehensive victory against an abysmal Villa side on their own ground.
He later secured his first hat-trick for the Etihad outfit in the rout. Iheanacho scored his first from the first corner of the game snatching home Fernando’s headed goal-bound ball on the line.
The second via a penatly awarded after Bacuna was adjudged to have shoved Raheem Sterling. Iheanacho scored his hat-trick when he ran into an empty space before beating Guzan at leisure.
His acrobat overhead kick led to the fourth with sterling bundling in to complete the rout.
Nigerian striker, Odion Ighalo’s late goal put his team to the fifth round after coming on as a late substitute, his 15th goal of the season.
The match was full of efforts and endeavours, but with little quality. The home team came into the match having conceded only once in their last five games and equally less effective scoring goals, Watford on the other hand were neat and purposeful but missed the predatory instinct of the Nigerian.
Ighalo made the difference when he eventually came on by capitalising on Kelvin Wilson mis-kick to drive in the decisive goal.
