President Muhammadu Buhari says he will head the Ministry of Petroleum Resources in the new cabinet. Addressing some select reporters in New York, United States, on Tuesday, after addressing a Global Leaders' Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism, he said: "I wil remain Minister of Petroleum. I will appoint a minister of state for petroleum."

Buhari restated his determination to sanitise Nigeria's oil industry and free it from corruption and shady deals. He said that the first step in this direction had already been taken with the appointment of a new management for the NNPC and its subsequent reorganisation. The president said that the prosecution of those who misappropriated NNPC's revenue under past administrations would soon commence. On corruption, h...

Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe has rejected calls from the United Nations (UN ) to implement gay rights in his country. Speaking on September 28, at the 70th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meeting, Mugabe said that upholding human rights is the obligation of all member states, but vehemently rejected the imposition of what he called “new rights” for gay marriage that have been advocated elsewhere in the world. The 91-year-old Zimbabwean strongman said: “We equally reject attempts to prescribe new rights that are contrary to our norms, values, traditions and beliefs. We are not gays. Cooperation and respect for each other will advance the cause of human rights worldwide. Confrontation, vilification and double standards will not,” he told members of the General Assembly. Mugabe has previously called homosexuals “worse than pigs and dogs.” A spokesman for his ruling party, Zanu-PF, has said same-sex marriage had no place in Africa. Currently chairman o...

Sen. Oluremi Tinubu on Tuesday said that she did not get the support of her husband, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to run for second term in the past National Assembly elections. Tinubu, Lagos Central Senatorial District, made the disclosure while answering questions at the ongoing “Women in Government’’ conference organised by the South-West Region of the Department For International Development (DF ID). The conference was organised in collaboration with the Lagos State Office of the Deputy Governor. She said that it was her district leaders who got the form for her and talked her husband into allowing her to run for the position. According to her, Asiwaju likes his wife to be at home and what is more confusing to me is that most Muslim men do not want their wives to work, but I am a hard worker. “People have been saying that I got to this position because I am Asiwaju’s wife. “What they did not realise is that in the past election, my husband asked me not to go for a se...

Pope Francis on Monday admitted that Catholic Church hierarchies shielded the crimes of paedophile priests. The Pontiff stated this hours after meeting people who were abused in their youth by members of the clergy. Speaking to reporters on the return flight from Philadelphia to Rome, at the end of his pilgrimage to Cuba and the United States, Francis said abusing children was “almost a sacri lege’’ and a betrayal of the call of God for a priest. “And those who have covered up these things are also guilty, even some bishops have covered up, it is a very bad thing,’’ the pontiff stressed. On Sunday, the leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics spent about 30 minutes with three women and two men who were sexually abused by clergy members. “I promise that all those responsible for the sexual abuse of children will be punished,’’ Francis later told a gathering of bishops, saying he felt “deep shame’’ about the acts. The pope told the audience that “these crime...

FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, is adamant he will continue in his role at the world football governing body. The 79-year-old is facing prosecution, for allegedly making a “disloyal payment” of two million Swiss francs – around £1.3m – to UEFA president, Michel Platini which was “at the expense of FIFA.” Blatter is also being investigated about a TV deal with Jack Warner. Despite calls for the embattled Swiss to step down, he has made it clear he is going nowhere. He reiterated that, “he had done nothing illegal or improper,” after criminal proceedings were opened against him last Friday by the Swiss Attorney General.

United Nations (CNN)President Barack Obama slammed adversaries in Russia and Syria -- and political foes at home -- while defending the use of diplomacy over force in his address to the U.N. Monday. In a speech at times defensive and accusatory, Obama sought to use his favored weapon -- oratory -- to beat back his international challengers as well as conservatives in the U.S. who've branded him a weak leader presiding over a legacy of declining power abroad. He also took the unusual step of harnessing the global stage to rebuke the views of Republican presidential candidates on immigration and religious pluralism, perhaps mindful that this was his penultimate speech to the world body and the last before the race to replace him overwhelms the national dialogue. Obama slammed "the building of walls to keep out immigrants" and "demonizing" of those of different religions, an oblique reference to some of the incidents that have cropped up on th...

He said the kidnappers only freed him after they received payment, adding that he trekked for 15 kilometres before he was picked up by the police in Owo, several kilometres from Akure, the Ondo State capital. The former minister’s disclosure has put a lie to the claim by the Nigeria police that no ransom was paid before his release. Details of Mr. Falae’s speech today will come shortly. Background Mr. Falae was released Thursday, four days after he was abducted by unknown gunmen.

 Any wonder why they blamed Africans for the stampede? One of the survivors from the recent stampede in Saudi Arabia, an indigene of Osun State, resident in Warri, Delta State revealed that paramedics ignored African pilgrims and concentrated on rescuing white and Caucasian victims which resulted in a high casualty rate among Africans. He said he was stuck in the midst of dead bodies for more than two hours and there was no help from paramedics, who favoured whites over blacks. "I tried to escape but it was impossible as I was stuck in the midst of many dead bodies and some people were climbing over me to find an escape. I struggled to get myself up to the waist level. From my toe to my waistline, people were all over and I could not get up. I was calling the Saudi police and paramedics on the scene to help me but they didn’t respond and I was stuck there for more than two hours as they were busy helping whites, with no response to my plea,"

According to Jesus, many of the so-called churches today that are large and famous are actually spiritually dead. In many churches today, pastors are preoccupied with the size of their congregation. Some take a census every church-service. Others keep statistics of the number of people who answer their altar-calls. When pastors meet socially, how big their church is determines their social status and prestige; ensuring that many are prone to exaggerate their numbers. The bigger the church, the more highfalutin and celebrated the pastor. However, the wisdom of God is contrarian, she shouts in the street; she lifts her voice in the public square: “No king is saved by the multitude of an army; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety; neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.” (Psalm 33:16-17). Let me apply this scripture more precisely to the context of mega-churches. No man is saved by the size of a church, neith...

  Youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, the Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, has advised those spearheading the agitations of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra that seceding from Nigeria would not be in the interest of Ndigbo. The OYC National President, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro stated this on Saturday during a press conference in Umuahia, the Abia State c apital, while unveiling plans for this year’s Igbo Youths Day slated for Monday in Umuahia. He stressed that it is better for Ndigbo to remain in Nigeria and struggle for their fair share of the ‘national cake’ than fight for self-determination which is bound to come with consequences. “It is better we remain in Nigeria and fight for our rights than secede. We have been patient enough and in 2019, it will be our turn to produce a Nigerian President. It will take a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction to heal the wounds of Biafra,” he stated. Isiguzoro howeve...

  As speculations mount over the future of embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki, plots by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to supplant the majority All Progressives Congress (APC) and take over leadership of the senate are intensifying. The Nation had reported a few days ago the PDP was plotting a sensational take-over of the upper chamber of the National Assembly in the event that Saraki is consumed by his ongoing trial by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

The Nation also learnt that the three senators are being supported by various groups within the party and the senat...
