The senate has finished screening Senator Udoma Udo Udoma from Cross River state. During his presentation, Udoma said he will be bringing his experience in the private sector to bear when he is confirmed as Minister. He was asked a few questions which he answered very well. He was asked to take a bow and go. They definitely approved of him!

Drake goes on date with Serena Williams look-alike (photos)
Days after shooting down rumours of an engagement to Serena Williams, Drake was seen with popular instagram model Ravie Loso at The Nice Guy in Hollywood. Drake exited his limo first and she followed shortly after. I wanted to go stalk her on instagram but she's made it private after Serena fans attacked her for going on date with Drake.

Falling Pole in Harmony Estate, Gbagada fixed (photos)
On Sunday, I shared photos of a falling electricity pole in Harmony Estate Ifako Gbagaga that was a danger to residents of the area (read here). Someone in PHCN must read LIB because they have since fixed the issue...:-). A resident sent me the photos above of the pole fixed with the write up below...
"The estate is in deep gratitude to you for the positive effect your platform has had in not just our lives but millions likewise. The PHCN sent their team last sunday evening for inspection and on Monday to remove the pole, yesterday they installed power after replacing the pole." Thanks PHCN! :-)

Nigerian Army Tells Boko Haram Members to surrender or they'll face Serious Consequences
This is to warn all Boko Haram terrorists wherever they are, to desist from all acts of terrorism, surrender themselves and face the law now.
We wish to inform them that we are aware of all their hideouts, camps and enclaves.
They should follow their colleagues who have so far surrendered.
Failure to surrender will result in serious consequences as our troops are fast closing up with them.
We equally appeal to the parents, families and friends of all those involved in Boko Haram terrorists activities to kindly persuade them to desist and renounce their membership of the terrorist organization forthwith.
We also wish to appeal to the good people of the North Eastern part of the country, in particular those of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States to prevail on these terrorists to renounce their evil ways immediately.
You are please requested to disseminate this information to the public through your medium.
Thank you for your kind and usual cooperation.

Senate ready for 50% pay cut
The Senate has agreed to the decision of the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to review downward the salaries and allowances of federal lawmakers at the National Assembly by 50 per cent.
This was disclosed yesterday by Senator Umaru Ibrahim Kurfi ( APC Katsina Central) during a chat with senate correspondents.
The Senate had recently rejected the pay cut in their salaries and allowances by suspending consideration of the report of its Finance Committee following sharp disagreements among senior lawmakers over recommendation by the committee.
But Senator Kurfi said the upper chamber of the National Assembly had agreed to the 50 per cent pay cut in line with the policy of President Muhammadu Buhari administration to ensure prudence in public spending and restore dignity to governance in the country.
“The Eighth Senate is doing its best to ensure the success of the present administration. In line with policy of President Muhammadu Buhari to eradicate corruption in all sectors of the economy, we (senators) have already agreed to implement 50 per cent salary cut.
“We are in a change regime and we are ready to key into the zero tolerance for corruption policy of the present administration. Similarly, we have agreed to support all other policies and programmes being embarked upon for the benefit of Nigerians”, Kurfi said
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain assured that the Senate would continue to help the executive arm to build on democracy, implement the change promised Nigerians by the party and ensure that President Buhari surpass the records of his predecessors.
e allayed the fears of some Nigerians that the APC-led federal government would not spread the dividends of democracy across Nigeria, saying the President as a man of integrity would ensure even development of the country.
On the crisis in APC since the party came to power, he said the leadership has not been leaving any stone unturned in keeping the party as one despite “misunderstanding among some leaders over certain issues”.
“We are trying hard to ensure that things take shape in the party. We are not divided, what we have is just misunderstanding among some leaders. Misunderstanding is bound to take place in any large party like the APC and this will be settled”, he assured.
Senator Kurfi expressed hope that democracy would thrive with more development in the country under President Buhari, saying “he is an honest, transparent and Godfearing leader that will make things work again in Nigeria”.
He therefore urged Nigerians, irrespective of tribe, religion and political party affiliation to rally round the number one citizen to succeed for the benefit of all.
