Below is a statement from FFK's spokesman, Jude Ndukwe
''We read the newspaper advert in Thisday newspaper in which Ali Modu Sheriff has threatened to sue Chief Femi Fani-Kayode. Though we have not received a formal letter from his lawyers to that effect we wish to inform him and members of the public that we stand by everything that we have said about Sheriff, we have briefed our lawyers, we welcome the suit and we shall gladly meet him in court.
The days of silencing people with arrogant threats and frivolous litigation are long over. We cannot be silenced by Modu Sheriff's threat to sue and we are not losing any sleep over it. Such a course of action will prove not only to be counter-productive for him but by the time it is all over he will get the shocker of his life''- Mr. Jude Ndukwe, spokesman to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode.

#KeepTheNairaGrowing: CBN targets N200/$ parallel market rate

Posted: 28 Feb 2016 09:48 AM PST

The strident calls by the IMF and some foreign interest for Nigeria to devalue its currency and the artificial spike in forex rate created by Bureau De Change operators appears to have tanked. This has been linked to a complex and integrated currency management approaches deployed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). 

According to a top source in the apex Bank, "The aim of CBN is to ensure that the divergence between the official and parallel rate does not exceed N3, so we are looking at a parallel market rate of N200/$ because the downward trend in the pressure on the naira will be sustained." 

"The CBN has the capacity to sustain the downward pressure and will deploy further currency management initiatives, while capitalising on fiscal policies of the federal government to remain in support of non-devaluation of the Naira. The current stand of the federal government on Nigeria's legal tender is Non-Devaluation. It will be unwise for anybody to be hoarding dollars because we can assure you that Naira appreciation is going to trend upwards going forward."

So far, the CBN in a bid to manage the pressure on supply has deployed over $11.7billion to support Agricultural Sector, SMEs, manufacturers and others. This has reduced patronage of black market by end-users and has forced rent seekers to dump the greenback thereby creating a dollar-glut in the black-market.

The source noted that it has been observed that most of the imports that were draining forex resources have since found local substitutes with attendant savings in forex and shortage of demand for the greenback, which was fuelling the pressure, this is also coming on the heels of the CBN instruction to commercial banks to publish allocation of forex to end-users, this has in recent times ensure that real sector of the economy and genuine users for education and medicals have been able to access forex at official rate. 

In the same vein, industry analysts have described the development as a game changer for majority of local manufacturers in Nigeria. The manufacturers acknowledged that the impact of CBN policy on forex since, its inception has more than double their productive capacity, with attendant benefits in terms of expansion to meet increasingly higher demands for their products and services.

The Analysts said, "Conveniently, since the CBN foreign exchange policy came into existence, production capacity by local manufacturers has increased from 50%- 70%. This has impacted on their propensity to increase exports with higher volumes which is expected to also earn Nigeria commensurate higher foreign exchange earnings." 

Speaking further, the analysts are of the opinion that the policy has helped the local manufacturers to realise the urgent need to expand because of increasing demands for their products. Some of the manufacturers have submitted proposals for expansion and creation of new manufacturing plants, which the CBN has agreed to provide commensurate foreign exchange requirements to finance such ventures that will create employment and improve Nigeria's capacity to attract more foreign exchange earnings.   

The analysts also revealed that some of the local manufacturers are now developing capacity to also attract foreign investors, who are exploring investment opportunities in local firms to enjoy economies of scale and direct access to some of the raw materials required for production without increasing the cost of production.

Man U coach Louis Van Gaal theatrically falls on the floor during Man U's 3-2 win over Arsenal, to signal to the assistant referee that an Arsenal player simulated a fall. To see that from a 64 year old man was pure comedy!

Man U 3-2 Arsenal (18 year old rookie Rashford becomes internet sensation after thrilling display)

Posted: 28 Feb 2016 08:54 AM PST

Arsenal started the match knowing that a win against the Old Trafford side will put them within touching distance of league leaders Leicester City, but were not helped by the damning statistic of having won just once in the last thirteen visits to Old Trafford.


Arsenal had a full strength team to choose from with the core of Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez, Welbeck, Coquelin and Walcott too much for comparison with Man Utd's youngsters Varela, Lingard, Depay and Rashford.

Arsenal with more to fight for, pressurized Man U from the start while Man U were happy to concede possession and counter attack on the break, De Gea made an important save to keep Man U in the game.

An early counter attack just before the halfway point of the first half resulted in a superb strike from 18 year old rookie Marcus Rashford who was just making his second start for the club.
Two minutes later , the same Rashford surprised the Arsenal defence and his header gave Man U a two goal lead. Arsenal were stunned . It was a huge shock for Arsene Wenger's men.


His two goals came in the space of 2minutes, 25 seconds, such was his alertness and sharp taste for goal mouth action which officially made him one of the youngest Man U players to score on his Man U debut behind James Wilson ,Anthony Macheda and Wayne Rooney.

Arsenal continued to pressurize albeit spells of confidence from Man U before the home team gave away a free kick close to the 18 yard area. The resulting free kick was headed by former Man U academy product Danny Welbeck resulting in a goal for the away team.
As at half time the score was Man U. 2- 1 Arsenal. The Gunners had 7 attempts while Man U had 4 attempts. United had 44% possession, while Arsenal had 56% possession.

The second half began with new hero Marcus Rashford picking up a slight injury at kick off but he still continued playing after shaking off the injury scare much to the delight of the Man U faithfuls.

After some inter-play, Marcos Rojo just back from an injury lay off, fractured his ankle and was replaced by another new youngster Fosu-Mensah .Depay's shot was well saved by Cech ,whose defence tried to tame United's forwards.

Walcott ineffective for most of the match was substituted for tall man Olivier Giroud as Wenger opted for a more physical approach to the game.

Man U just over the hour mark, counter attacked and man of the moment Rashfor confused the Arsenal defence with a pass to Herrera which entered the net via a Koschielny deflection.
Arsenal retaliated with a left footed strike from Mesut Ozil after De Gea punched out Welbeck's effort. At this point with 25 minutes to go it was 3-2 to Man U's favour.

Van Gaal , Man U's coached produced what could be dubbed 'entertainment piece' of the season after he theatrically fell on the floor to signal to the fourth referee about an Arsenal player's possible simulation. The crowd at the stadium went hysterical.
At the 80th minute , the 79,000 people at the stadium gave match hero Rashford  a standing ovation as he was replaced by Adnan Januzaj.

Nigerian player Iwobi replaced Welbeck with ten minutes to go as Wenger looked for more attacking options. Arsenal tried to rally late and save their EPL title dreams, but Man u came out top on the day with 18 year old Rashford voted man of the match.

Discover why your food is causing you to gain more weight and Belly Fat

Posted: 28 Feb 2016 06:30 AM PST

This is a sponsored post. Read below...
Please continue reading, because I'm going to share with you a few simple and easy tricks to turn your "Fat gaining Kitchen" into a "Fat Burning kitchen," while also showing you some deceptive "health" foods that are not only making it impossible for you to lose fat, but also make you age faster.

If You follow the general rule of thumb for a well rounded healthy diet, most recipes can be modified to become "Healthier". Sponsored by = => http://adhealthy.com

Here are some useful tips you can start with right now:

1. Stews:The way stew is prepared can easily make it one of the worst offenders; especially for us Nigerians… the presence of Palm oil and fried meat in most stews is enough to drive calories and fat content overboard. 
Simple modification on stews will be:
Eliminate the use of Palm oil and replace that with Groundnut oil
Replace fried meat with roasted meat
Make use of fresh fish, goat and chicken
Add some "Ponmon" to enhance the "meatyness"

2. Rice:Rice being a grain is fundamentally healthy, where rice offends on the diet scale is in the use of "white Rice". White rice can simply be described as "Empty food" as it is nutritionally void; high in carbohydrate and low on essential vitamins.
The simplest modification on rice would be:
Replace white rice with Brown rice. Brown rice has 2x the manganese and Phosphorus, 2 -1/2X the iron, 3x the vitamin B3, 4x the vitamin B1, 10x the vitamin B6 and 4X the Fibre (which is essential for keeping you fuller longer)

3. Soups & Sauces: The basic composition of most soups are similar (earthy broth with meat and fish plus vegetable), again this should be fundamentally healthy but two main factors affect the health composition of most stews and sauces;
1) the use of excessive Oil 
2) the presence of excessive high fat proteins.
Although most of the calories from protein are healthy; excessive consumption can lead to weight gain and other health risks.
Some modifications for soups will include:
Reduce the amount of oil used (a good trick is to add oil after cooking not prior)
Be cautious of the amount of fatty proteins added (cow/ pig meat are huge culprits)
Use more goat meat and chicken
Use a variety of vegetables for greater health benefits
Replace frozen/ dried vegetables with fresh once that are in season


Find Below Some Local Fat Loss Food (Swallow) For a lot of us that loves swallow, this will really do…
Solids:Solids are a great source of carbohydrate, the problem with solid consumption comes in the type/amount consumed. Excessive carbohydrate intake eventually leads to weight gain and other ailments. It is important to note that Carbohydrate is essential; the problem isn't with carbohydrate itself but the types of carbohydrate.
Highly processed sources like white grains are vitamin deficient and encourage excessive eating. Instead of the popular three solid sources (Garri, pounded yam and corn fufu), here are excellent alternatives that you can make in your own home with better nutrition:

Oat Fufu: Oat is high in fiber and has the magical power to remove bad cholesterol from the body. Oat is also a good source of manganese, selenium, phosphorus, fiber, magnesium and zinc. Buy unflavored whole oat, mill and run it through a sieve.
Prepare the same way as semolina or Tuo

Unripe Plantain Flour: Plantains are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A, b-complex vitamins (particularly – B6) and other minerals including potassium, magnesium, phosphorous and iron. To make Plantain flour, simply dehydrate (or sun dry) raw unripe plantains, mill and sieve into a powder. Prepare the same way as semolina (use less water)

Sweet potato flour: sweet potatoes are low in Sodium, and very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. They are also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin B6, Potassium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Manganese. To make sweet potato flour, Simply dehydrate (or sun dry) raw unpeeled sweet potatoes, mill and sieve into a powder. Prepare the same way as semolina or amala.

Nigerian Mum shares photos of her set of twins with different skin colour

Posted: 28 Feb 2016 06:18 AM PST

The LIB mum sent in the photos and wrote;
"I Just came across your posts on the identical-unidentical twins and I wish to share my experience. I had a set of twins last year March. When my son was brought out, he was so dark, and then came the twin girl looking really fair. The boy looks exactly like his dad, while the girl looks like me. If they don't wear the same colour clothes when we go out, people don't really ask if they are twins unless they start to want mummy. Then the questions start flooding "why is one so dark?, they don't look like twins etc."

Shocking Revelation! See The Most Overlooked Cause Of Belly Fat

Posted: 28 Feb 2016 05:50 AM PST

This is a sponsored post. Read below...
"If you've been working out regularly and watching what you eat, but you still can't seem to get rid of that stubborn belly fat, there may be a "hidden" cause - and it has nothing to do with diet or exercise.
So, today I want to talk about why it's so hard for you to get rid of belly fat, explain what could be the hidden cause (most people never consider this), and give you simple and effective ways you combat your stubborn "ab flab" Alright, let's dive right in…  www.healthandwellnessplan.com


Don't get me wrong…your stomach fat isn't the only area that's controlled by your hormones, but it happens to be the most sensitive.

So what does this mean?
It means that exercising and eating right may not be enough to get rid of your stubborn belly fat.

And here's one hormone in particular, that most people don't even consider…which could be causing you to retain belly fat.

Your cortisol hormone.
Cortisol is your stress hormone.  It's an important hormone that's essential for human survival.

Whenever your body experiences any type of stress (whether it be mental or physical) your body secretes cortisol, which then initiates a cascade of other physiological responses necessary for your body to keep functioning.

You can look at it like an emergency generator.  If the main source of electricity goes out in your area from some unforeseen incident, the emergency generator kicks in to give you power until the main source is fixed.  But the emergency generator isn't meant to provide power for the long term.  And that's a lot like your cortisol.  Cortisol turns "off" many of the normal physiological mechanisms and turns "on" many temporary physiological mechanisms (the operative word being "temporary").

In a normal situation, cortisol production only lasts for a short period of time and afterwards, all metabolic functions go back to normal.  But this is where things can go wrong, because in many cases these stresses that cause your body to secrete cortisol occur way too often and stay "on" for way too long.

When you're body experiences constant stress, it continuously secretes cortisol and that's when cortisol becomes counterproductive to your body.

And depending on how long and how much cortisol you have circulating in your body, it can seriously compromise your health and alter your metabolic process causing you to gain stubborn unrelenting belly fat!  Researchers at Yale University found slender women who had high cortisol also had more abdominal fat.

So, if you tend to gain belly fat easily and have a difficult time getting rid of it, there's a strong likelihood that you're producing too much cortisol.

Here are 2 questions I want you to ask yourself to see if there's something other than diet and exercise that may be hindering your progress:

Are you sleeping enough? Getting enough quality sleep is the most important thing you can do to minimize stress, optimize your health and help your body to burn more fat!  During your sleep, your body utilizes fat as it's primary source of fuel.  So getting enough sleep is key to making sure that your body burns off more fat!  If you have a hard time sleeping, try reading a book (non-fiction or self improvement type of books tend to work best).  Sleeping in complete darkness also helps you sleep more soundly.  Get rid of electrical equipment like phones, computers, TV's, and radios in your bedroom (or at least switch them off when you go to sleep).  Studies have found that the less electrical magnetic field you're exposed to, the better your mind and body rests.

Do you feel tired all of the time? If you're constantly feeling tired, it means you're not recovering enough. Inadequate recovery means that your body still has cortisol coursing through your body. In situations like this, it's best to give yourself a break and and let your body rest.  Your only going to do your body more disservice by pushing through the fatigue.  In fact, you'll only be increasing your cortisol production and making your belly fat even more difficult to burn off.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, cortisol may be to blame.  And if so, the solution is pretty easy…sleep, rest and recover!  Improving these three seemingly unrelated (but very important!) factors can help reduce your cortisol, so you can finally start burning fat off your stomach.

And if you feel like you're already getting enough sleep & rest, then let me reveal to you A Natural Method To Get A Flatter Belly, Lose Weight, Overcome Food Cravings, Enjoy Nutritious Nigerian Diet, Achieve A Dream Body In 4 Weeks Without Ever Starving Yourself.
