…calls on go’vt to implement tobacco control measures

As the world celebrates the 2018 World No Tobacco Day, WTD, today, the Regional Director, World Health Organisation, WHO, Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, said tobacco epidemic constitutes one of the biggest public health threats, killing over seven million people yearly.
‘‘Tobacco breaks hearts. Its use and exposure to second hand smoke contribute 12 percent of all heart disease deaths, adding that there is no safe level for people, particularly children, women and workers who have to be in the same room as smokers.’’
Moeti said this in her message to celebrate the 2018 WTD, adding that World No Tobacco Day is a chance for government and the public to take a firm action.
In Africa, about 146,000 adults aged 30 and above die every year from tobacco related diseases, adding that when users die prematurely in their productive years, families lose loved ones and income, and economic development is negatively affected.
‘‘Today, I call upon member states to implement measures that we know would strengthen tobacco control as found in WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.’’
She called on government to promulgate policies that regulate tobacco, promote smoke-free environments and encourage people to quit smoking as this will improve the health and well-being of all people.
According to her, this can only be achieved through strong political commitment and an informed civil society working together to press for heart- healthy policies and the right to health.
Moeti assured that effective measures for tobacco reduction can be accomplished in a short time if government implements increasing tobacco taxes and prices, adding that this would save lives and generate income for government.
Other steps to reduce tobacco demands include creating completely smoke-free indoor workplace and public places, instituting hard-hitting warnings and graphic pictures about the dangers of smoking on cigarette packets and banning tobacco advertisement, promotion and sponsorship.
She called on individuals to promote healthy hearts by committing not to use tobacco, helping others to quit, protect all people including family members, workers and children from tobacco smoke.
Eliminating tobacco use will help to protect hearts from breaking. Let us choose health, not tobacco, Moeti advised.

Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole, would today commission a world class pharmaceutical grade warehouse for the storage of medicines and other health commodities in Oshodi, Lagos State.
According to a statement signed by Mr. Oshundun Olajide, Assistant Director, Media and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Health, yesterday, the launch of the project is aimed at strengthening the National Warehousing System for adequate storage and distribution of essential medicines towards improving the availability and accessibility of medicines and other health commodities for Nigerians.
The National Drug Policy stipulates that all medicines for public health should pass through an efficient National Warehousing System to ensure proper storage for maintenance of quality, efficacy, and safety and also for ease of recall, should there be need to do so.
The Federal Ministry of Health in collaboration with the United States for International Development, USAID, and The Global Fund, TGF, identified the need for a warehouse expansion project to provide additional storage and proper management of medicines and pharmaceutical products in accordance with international best practices and to relieve the significant gap in the supply of central storage to serve the country’s health programmes.
Following this vision and objectives, the Federal Ministry of Health in collaborated with USAID and Global Fund built two warehouses one in Abuja (Abuja Premier Warehouse) and Lagos respectively.
Abuja Premier Warehouse which was commissioned on July 17, 2017 caters for medicines and other health commodities needed in the north, while that of Lagos will serve the southern zone. The federal government still hopes to replicate this in other geopolitical zones to enhance better access to medicines by the public.
According to the health ministry, benefits of the warehouse include increase in the storage capacity and improved storage conditions of medicines, reagents and other health commodities, improved accessibility of these products to the public.
Enhancement of efficient distribution and maintenance of distribution channels, effective and efficient management of medicines and other health commodities, others are to provide service as capacity building outfit for professionals. Cost of logistic components, especially transportation will be reduced due to nearness to health facilities.
Donors and partners can now be assured that their resources will be properly handled, kept and utilized in accordance with international best practices.
Commodities would be managed by professional pharmacists. Substandard and counterfeit products will completely eliminated from the system.

Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Young Progressive Party, YPP, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu has blamed Nigeria’s socioeconomic woes on the ageless and clueless politicians who have dominated the nation’s political landscape over the years, even when they have nothing meaningful to offer.
Moghalu, a former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, made the assertion in Owerri this week while speaking at 8th Annual New Era International Leadership Lectures organized by New Era Company with the theme, “Reinventing the Nigerian Mind.”
The aspirant who warned the ugly trend of recycling old political warhorses must stop in 2019, criticized the practice of reelecting members of the long ruling cabal in the country also dismissed the clamour about zoning of elective political offices as misguided and unfounded in the law.
Insisting that zoning as being canvassed in certain quarters is not contained in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic, he alleged that the proponents are only being selfish because they cannot face the competition with the younger generation.
The issue of zoning, according to him, has remained the cheap instrument often used by the ruling political class to pave way for themselves into public office even when they are not fit to do the job stressing that the trouble with Nigeria is that the worst rule the best.
He declared, “Zoning is but a figment of the imagination of the politicians who want to hang on it to continue the exploitation of the system and the people. There is no provision for zoning in the 1999 Constitution of the country.”
“Ninety-five percent of the problems of Nigeria were caused by the old politicians who are here again to seek reelection. They hide under zoning to perpetuate themselves in power. In the last three years, over nine million Nigerians have lost their jobs because of nepotism borne out of lack of vision.
Moghalu further contended that democracy is meant to be a “competitive process of leadership selection by the electorate through which the best emerges insisting that the trend whereby mediocrity is being glorified in the name of zoning will only continue to draw the nation back.
He described the successive rulers of the country as persons without the requisite mental infrastructure for leadership pointed out that they have been mere watchers of movement of crude oil price in the international market who know practically nothing about economics.
For Nigeria to join in the league of developed nations of the world, the YPP chieftain and financial expert posited that Nigeria urgently needs a leader with a vivid worldview to turn the economy around and earn global respect for the country by ending poverty.
Prof. Moghalu urged the youths to rise up to the occasion by renewing their mindset and end the reign of clueless rulership in 2019 by voting for him assuring that he would run an economy based on clear vision and innovation, if elected.

Senate President, Dr. BukolaSaraki, on Thursday, reacted to the signing of the #NotTooYoungToRun Bill# by President MuhammaduBuhari, describing the occurrence as a historic moment that young people will look back on someday.

In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, YusuphOlaniyonu, Saraki said: “More than half of our over 180 million population is made up of people under the age of 30. Today’s signing of the #NotTooYoungToRun Bill represents many years of hard work and signals a new era of youth inclusion and participation in our governance.

“Now more than ever, as young people across the country bask in the moment and celebrate the signing of this Bill, they must not see this as the final destination. It is one thing to be able to run, but, it is another thing entirely to be able to serve.

“This is why, it is incumbent on our youths to register, get their PVCs and move on to the next phase of this journey — which is getting their peers elected in legislative and executive positions. You must all take part, to take charge.

“Nigeria needs the energy and innovation of our young people. On this note, I congratulate the Youth Initiative for Advocacy, Growth & Advancement, YIAGA, and all other groups that championed this cause for more youth inclusion. I also commend my colleagues in both the Senate and the House for making sure that this Bill passed its first milestone during the Constitution Review Process,” Saraki said.

Issues surrounding
$22billion take off funds
of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation’s
Brass Liquefied Natural
Gas, also known as Brass
LNG is to be investigated.
A special committee to
probe the implementation
of the money and report
back for further legislative
action is to be announced
by the Speaker, Yakubu
Dogara soon.
The resolution to launch
the Inquiry followed a
motion on the urgent need
to carry out investigation
on the implementation of
$22bn Brass LNG project
sponsored by Honorable
Kingsley Chinda.
During debate the House
frowned at the several
reports before it over
allegations of abuse and
massive fraud of the funds
earmarked for the takeoff
and running of the project
originally set up in 2003,
with the NNPC owning
49%, and other affiliates,
Conoco Phillips, ENI and
Chevron holding 17%/
each.
According to the
lawmakers, it is worried
that over a decade the
project was to take off, it is
stuck over mismanagement
forcing the foreign
partners to pull out in
addition to operating in
tough conditions and
unfavorable investment
environment.
They noted their
constitutional powers to
investigate as provided
in sections 88(1)(a)(b)
(1)&(ii)and (2)(b) for which
they have launched the
probe, adding that their
Senate counterpart had
long raised the alarm of
over massive fraud in the
NNPC as it relates to the
Brass LNG project but did
not come up with anything
“We note the Federal
government’s enormous
investment in the Brass
LNG”, the lawmakers
argued and stressed that it
would not treat the current
state of the project with kid
gloves or swept aside.
Unless the issue is
investigated, the essence of
the fight against corruption
by this administration is
defeated and the Nigerian
economy and indeed the
teeming masses would
suffer, the lawmakers
said further. The motion
was overwhelmingly
supported and a probe
approved

Opposition Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, yesterday said it is a
welcome development that President
Muhammadu Buhari now knows
that he has become unpopular among
Nigerians.
During the May 29 Democracy Day
broadcast, President Buhari had told
Nigerians to vote for any presidential
candidate of their choice.
Reacting to the declaration, the
PDP national publicity secretary, Kola
Ologbondiyan said Nigerians have
noted and accepted President Buhari’s
pronouncement that Nigerians should
vote for candidates of their choice,
come 2019.
“The PDP notes that the President
made this important declaration
after his thorough assessment of
his diminished popularity among
Nigerians due to his poor performance
in the last three years.
“Though Nigerians, on their own,
have since reached a consensus not to
support President Buhari’s re-election
bid in 2019, it is good that President
Buhari, by himself, admitted this fact,
hence this declaration.”
PDP, however, advised Buhari to
rein-in his close aides who might be
desperate to use state apparatus to
ensure they return him to office at all
cost.
“President Buhari has seen the flow
of our nation’s political tides and the
PDP urges him to show statesmanship
by reining-in his cronies to shed their
desperation and lust for power, which
will, in any case, be firmly resisted by
Nigerians.
The PDP also charges the All
Progressives Congress, APC, the
Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, particularly the
blood relatives of President Buhari in
INEC, as well as security agencies to
note the determination of Nigerians;
their desire for another President,
come 2019 and as such desist from
any act that will pitch them against the
people.
“It is imperative to note that the APC
is already stuck with an unpopular
candidate and PDP remains open as
the only credible democratic platform
for all Nigerians across board to rally
and produce that truly Nigerian
President of their choice.
“The PDP therefore urges all
democrats, in all political formations
and alignments across the country
to come together on the repositioned
PDP to actualize the wishes and
aspirations of Nigerians for a president
that genuinely cares and truly have the
capacity and competence to restore our
nation to the path of good governance,
peace, national cohesion, equity and
economic prosperity.”

President Muhammadu
Buhari has called for intensified
and sustained security operation
across the West African subregion
to tackle the rising threats
of insurgents and bandits,
warning that only a collective
fight will halt the threats to lives
and property.
Receiving the Letter of Credence
of the Ambassador of the Republic
of Mali to Nigeria, Mr Moustapha
Traore, at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja on Thursday, President
Buhari said the sub-region would
continue struggling with the
basics of development so long as
people live in fear and uncertainty.
“The problems of terrorism and
banditry have persisted in our
countries, and we are doing our
best to secure lives and property,
but we tend to underestimate
cross-border influences.
“Take for instance, the external
influences on Boko Haram, and
the impact of what happened
in Libya. These are very critical
issues that must be looked into
because they are all at the expense
of development,’’ he said.
In his remarks, the Ambassador
of Mali said that he would work
hard to strengthen bilateral
relations in areas of intelligence
sharing between the security
agents of both countries, and
issues related to trade and
economic development.
“My President holds you in
very high regard Your Excellency,
and he praises your achievements
in security and the economy since
2015,’’ he added.
President Buhari, who also
received a Letter of Credence from
the Ambassador of the Republic
of Serbia, Mr Dura Likar, assured
him of Nigeria’s full commitment
to improving bilateral relations,
especially in the areas of trade and
security.
Mr Likar told the President
that Serbia remains interested in
building relations with Nigeria
in security, education, sports and
trade.
“Let me say Serbia is ready to
help and support the Nigerian
armed forces and we have had a
long standing relationship,’’ the
Serbian Ambassador said

A group of organised young Nigerians known as ‘Youths in Politics’ on Tuesday held a National Local Government Walk in Abuja, to sensitise Nigerian youths on active participation in politics through the ongoing Continuous Voters Registration, CVR, exercise in the country, as part of this year’s May 29 Democracy Day celebration.
Publicity secretary of the group, Comrade Charles Ezekiel Hamidu, who spoke to Nigerian Pilot during the walk at Wuse Market, said the group is a youth-based non-governmental organisation, registered with relevant authorities all over the country, under the national leadership of Comr. Mike Odeh, with a view to rejuvenating the status of Nigerian youths towards participation in politics.
“Youth in Politics is an organisation that was founded by youths nationwide to rejuvenate and bring them together in consensus, to see how they can better involve in politics; and we are registered with all the necessary authorities like the CAC, PCC and other relevant agencies in the country. So we are very recognised.”
He noted that the walk, with theme as ‘Tomorrow is Now,’ was basically embarked on to educate the “relegated” Nigerian youth on the need to enroll in the PVC exercise which is ongoing all over the country as a way to brighten the future of Nigeria.
Hamidu lauded President Muhammadu Buhari’s promise to sign the ‘Not Too Young to Run’ bill in a few days, as he noted that both the Not Too Young to Run movement and Youths in Politics were in collaboration to ensure that power was transmitted to youths in Nigeria.
“Looking at how our leaders have so relegated and oppressed the youths which they always call the leaders of tomorrow, it has become necessary for us to emphatically encourage them to participate in politics; and one of the ways through which we can achieve this is by staging this campaign where we are urging them to turn out massively to enroll for and get their PVCs which is the only sure ticket to wipe out the current trend of recycled old leaders.
“We are glad that President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to sign the Not Too Young To Run Bill in a few days and other groups haves been working in collaboration with Youths in Politics to make sure that we replace leadership in Nigeria with the youths,” he said.
Recall that President Buhari in his Democracy Day broadcast on May 29 this year, announced that he was expecting some Nigerian youths to join him in signing the ‘Not Too Young to Run Bill passed by the National Assembly, in few days to come.
The bill seeking to amend sections of the 1999 Constitution to reduce the age limits for eligibility for elective offices in Nigeria, known as the Not Too Young To Run bill, has secured the endorsement of 24 states.
Both the Senate and House of Representatives in July last year passed the amendment bill, with some state Houses of Assembly replicating the move while its metamorphosis into law had since then been held down due to the inability of the president to append his signature on the document.
The age reduction bill is expected to enhance the chances of young Nigerians to participate in politics and to seek for elective positions as candidates.

A socio-political organization, Generation Next Movement, GNM, has berated President Muhammadu Buhari for calling on the Nigerian youth not to participate in the 2019 general elections, saying it was a deliberate policy thrust of the All Progressives Congress, APC-led federal government to shoot the youths out of politics.

In a statement issued yesterday in Abuja, by the national coordinator of the group, he described the statement as counter productive, anti-youth and abuse of politics.

President Buhari had while signing the Not Too Young to Run bill into law on Thursday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, urged the youth to suspend their ambition, especially for Presidency until 2023 when he must have completed his second term in office.

But the GNM national coordinator, Olusola Afuye, explained in the statement that the nation’s political space is large enough to accommodate all interest groups, challenging the President to open the space and allow all Nigerians to participate in 2019.

According to him, Buhari’s appeal is a misplacement of priority, adding that “the President should come out and test his popularity if he has not over stayed his usefulness in the administration of the country”.

Afuye said: “The President’s appeal is not only unacceptable, unlawful, undemocratic but a clear confirmation of his disdain belief that the Nigerian youths are lazy.

“We want Nigerians, particularly, the youths, to see President Buhari’s position as a reflection of the APC policy designed not to allow our youths the opportunity to aspire to any position of authority at all levels in the country.

“The APC still want to apply use and dump approach by depriving, frustrating the youths from the front line participation.

“It is unimaginable for a President to sign a law and immediately seek to suspend it. Buhari’s posture and attempt to talk down, intimidate the youths from contesting against him in 2019 shows that he is not in support of the Not Too Young To Run law and only assented to it because he is left with no other option under the 1999 Constitution (as amended) to assenting to the bill.

“We in Generation Next Movement admonished all Nigerians to be alert and wary of body language of the president, APC traps and the Presidency will set to scuttle the quest by the youths to participate and aspire in the democratic process in 2019.

“The Nigerian youths have come of age; and are free, under all political structures to contest for any position, including the office of President in 2019 general elections.

“We therefore calls on all Nigerians and the youths in particular to support PDP to return the country to a society where where children of school age can go to school, where nigerians will stop selling their children to feed, pay rents, and pay hospital bills amongst others”.

“Be wise to note that President Buhari and the APC have nothing to offer the nation at large. The youths should spare no thoughts in jettisoning all support for President Buhari and the APC in their 2019 re-election bid”.

Fashion designer Toyin Lawani has just gifted Big Brother Naija Finalist, Nina with a car gift for her birthday.. and we are just as surprised as you are.

Toyin has been Nina’s stylist after the show’s season finale.. For Nina’s birthday, Toyin bought her a car:

Toyin’s friendship with Nina apparently, didn’t go down well with cross-dresser, Bobrisky.. So, he cut ties with Nina… Seeing how her new friendship with Toyin is affecting the love Bobrisky had for her, Nina apologized to the cross dresser.

She wrote:

I’m generally a cheerful person. I’m usually full of love, life, and happiness. I open my eyes in the morning and feel excited to be alive.

There was a time, though, when it wasn’t so easy in the big brother naija house When blinking and breathing and speaking all took so much effort that I thought I may as well give up: I was in a dark hole of sadness and anger and confusion.

I didn’t think I was gonna make it, but you rooted for me
For the friend who stood by my side through the storm for you Bobrisky the person who could see through my darkness when I wasn’t able to.

For the beautiful soul who believed in transformation, who believed in healing, and time, and growth. Who never once judged me for my heartache, grief, and anguish ,naevity .

Who, when the world gave up on me , gave me a piece of hope, a breath of fresh air, and a tiny scrap of faith that things might begin to change.

For the friend who was delicate with their words and capable of pushing me forward. Who didn’t mind what people where saying against me in dark corner, who actually stood his ground to help me

You endured and took alot of insult for my sake, You pulled me through an impossible tornado that I thought was going to eat me whole.

You loved me at my worst. You never gave up on me. You saw through my opaque pain.

Dear friend,
Thank you.

But I’m trying to build up my life,I didn’t know you had all this difference with Toyin Lawani,but then again when i found out i said to myself..i should’nt involve myself it’s between you two..
And am free with both of you..I hate having enemies….

I’m never ungrateful I have always been grateful for all you did for me and will always be..

I hope you see through my point and understand

Senate has admonished journalists against jeopardising national security with their reportage just as it also advised them to stop “undue sensationalisation, exuberance and excitement which tends to undermine national interest and security”.

Reacting to a media report which linked the rising level of insecurity in the country to insubordination as allegedly claimed by the National Security Adviser, NSA, Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno (rtd.), the Red Chamber said nothing of such transpired at a closed door meeting between the NSA and senators on Thursday in Abuja.

A national daily had on its front page on Thursday used “Insubordination, cause of rising insecurity – NSA” as its lead story, claiming to have been the major revelation by the NSA during the executive session.

But the Senate spokesman, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi (APC Niger North), said in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, that the story “does not represent anything discussed in the executive session”.

He, however, disclosed that the matter has been referred to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions chaired by Senator Sam Anyanwu (PDP Imo East) for I and appropriate recommendations.

The statement reads in part: “The attention of the Senate has been drawn to a front page story in the Vanguard newspaper of June 1, 2018 with the screaming headline “Insubordination, cause of rising insecurity – NSA” which claims to be revealing the discussions the Senate had in executive session with the National Security Adviser (NSA), Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno (rtd.).

“The Senate will want the general public to know that the Vanguard story is a mere fabrication as it does not represent anything discussed in the executive session. None of the claims made in the story occurred during the executive session.

“Also, the story represents a breach of the privilege of the Senate as an institution and that of its members.

“The Vanguard story is equally an irresponsible journalism as it seeks to undermine national security and set top officials against each other. Our view is that with the speculative story by the newspaper, the progress the Senate has recorded in finding lasting solutions to the security problems may have suffered a big set back”.

The statement further said the media should be able to place state security, national interest and the need to respect, dignify and protect the integrity of our public institutions, especially, the security institutions and its operators, above the urge to sell their news.

“After all, security is everybody’s business and when there are security crises or breaches, nobody, no matter his profession, is exempted from the consequence”, it stated.

Few hours after celebrity stylist and fashion entrepreneur, Toyin Lawani got Big Brother Naija 2018 finalist, Nina a car for her birthday, there’ve been lots of controversy over the news.

From trolls saying her gesture has an ulterior motive , to people  attacking Bobrisky too over the report and all.

It was also alleged by an Instagram blogger Chinny, that according to a close source who spoke to her, the car was actually from Miracle who begged Toyin to present it to Nina to avoid issues with his family.

Toyin however reacted to the claim as she says ‘Ogun will kill Chinny and her source’.

Ogun will kill you and your source, miracle ko, menopause ni, car I used my money to buy.
