Buhari, Osinbajo disclose assets

Posted: 03 Sep 2015 01:08 PM PDT

 


The assets of President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo have finally been disclosed. Below is a press statement from the presidency.

"Documents submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), show that the retired General has indeed been living an austere and Spartan lifestyle, contrary to what many might expect of a former Head of State of Nigeria and one who has held a number of top government positions, such as governor, Minister of petroleum and the head of the Petroleum Development Trust Fund (PTDF).
"The documents submitted to the CCB, which officials say are still being vetted and will soon be made public, show that prior to being sworn in on May 29, President Buhari had less than N30 million to his name. He also had only one bank account, with the Union Bank. President Buhari had no foreign account, no factory and no enterprises. He also had no registered company and no oil wells.
"The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) who had been a successful lawyer before his foray into politics declared a bank balance of about N94 million and 900,000 United States Dollars in his bank accounts.
"President Buhari declared however that he had shares in Berger Paints, Union Bank and Skye Bank.
"This is entirely unlike what one might expect from a former head of state of a country like Nigeria.
"The documents also revealed that President Buhari had a total of five homes, and two mud houses in Daura. He had two homes in Kaduna, one each in Kano, Daura and in Abuja. One of the mud houses in Daura was inherited from his late older sister, another from his late father. He borrowed money from the old Barclays Bank to build two of his homes.
"President Buhari also has two undeveloped plots of land, one in Kano and the other in Port Harcourt. He is still trying to trace the location of the Port Harcourt land.
"In addition to the homes in Daura, he has farms, an orchard and a ranch. The total number of his holdings in the farm include 270 heads of cattle, 25 sheep, five horses, a variety of birds and a number of economic trees.
"The documents also showed that the retired General uses a number of cars, two of which he bought from his savings and the others supplied to him by the federal government in his capacity as former Head of State. The rest were donated to him by well-wishers after his jeep was damaged in a Boko Haram bomb attack on his convoy in July 2014.
"As revealed by the same forms, highlights of the Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo's asset declaration include his 4-bedroom residence at Victoria Garden City, Lagos and a 3-bedroom flat at 2 Mosley Road, Ikoyi. The Vice President also has a 2-bedroom flat at the popular Redemption Camp along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and a 2-bedroom mortgaged property in Bedford, England. Aside from these, the Vice President has no other landed properties on the form.
"Apart from his law firm, known as SimmonsCooper, the Vice-President also declared shareholding in six private companies based in Lagos, including Octogenerium Ltd., Windsor Grant Ltd., Tarapolsa, Vistorion Ltd., Aviva Ltd. and MTN Nigeria.
"According to details shown on the form, the Vice-President has about ninety four million naira, nine hundred thousand US dollars and nineteen thousand pounds in Nigerian Banks with the foreign currencies kept in local domiciliary accounts. His personal vehicles are one Infinity 4-Wheel Drive SUV, one Mercedes Benz and a Prado Jeep.
"As soon as the CCB is through with the process, the documents will be released to the Nigerian public and people can see for themselves."

Pics: Refugee couple throw themselves on train tracks to avoid being taken to camp

Posted: 03 Sep 2015 12:17 PM PDT

Heartbreaking pictures show a man and his wife with their infant baby laying on the tracks with their baby as Hungarian police officers attempt to drag them away to a refugee camp.



ITV reporter James Mates, who witnessed the whole incident, reports that refugees on board the trains leaving Budapest's Keleti station believed they were going to Austria.
However, the train soon stopped at the small town of Bicske 30 miles down the line where police were waiting. Police tried to clear the train by carriages, 100 people or so at a time and push them through an underpass before backing down.
It was when riot police attempted to remove the refugees from the train that the man and woman threw themselves onto the track with their baby.

Nigerian Army vows to defeat Boko Haram in 3 months

Posted: 03 Sep 2015 09:24 AM PDT

The Nigerian Army has vowed to defeat Boko Haram sect within 3 months. This was stated in a statement released by the acting spokesperson of the Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman. Part of the statement reads
"I have no iota of doubt in my mind that our troops will wipe out the insurgents in the shortest possible time and we are committed to this target. You are aware that our troops recaptured Gamboru Ngala last Tuesday and are now consolidating, mopping up and preparing for the next offensive against the terrorists.
It is gratifying to note that most of the terrorist group leadership, has been decimated, while foot soldiers are abandoning their masters, burying their weapons in the forest and seeking solace. It is the achievements from harmonized efforts that have confirmed our stand that the insurgency would be ended as soon as possible. We would like to reassure @MBuhari Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and indeed the good people. of our great nation that we would definitely meet up with the 3-month deadline and do the nation proud." the statement said.

The Oprah empire is really expanding. 61-year-old Oprah Winfrey's network has just unveiled The O Store, an online retailer with a focus on exclusive Oprah merchandise, but also including a variety of items off the TV legend's O List from her magazine.

Just as in her annual Favorite Things list, the O List items are not for the bargain shoppers. From $125 cakes to $200 earrings, the products run from gadgets to sweet treats, but only for those who are heavy in pocket.

The main part of the new site features products from the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) shows including the Super Soul Sunday and the Peace Love World clothing line that came out of The Life You Want Weekend tour.

The store will also feature online learning classes from OWN's O Courses platform.
And the O List section will certainly draw plenty of attention with it's varied sections including food, beauty, jewelry, clothing and even home and garden.
