General Buhari Will Reduce Petrol From N87 to N40 Per Litre- Prof David West

Former Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Prof Tamunoemi David-West said when Muhammadu Buhari gets on seat, he will reduce the price of fuel from N87 to N40 per litre.

In a telephone interview with Vanguard, David-West said “I want to assure you that by the time he takes over, petrol will be dispensed at N40 per litre. This is possible and he has the credibility to make it work,”
 
David-West served as Minister of Petroleum and energy under Buhari’s regime from 1984-1985. He also said that “The major assignment of the president-elect when he is eventually inaugurated is to restore confidence to the industry,” 

David also stressed that Buhari will do everything to ensure the industry is back to normal. He said Buhari is capable since he’s familiar with the petroleum industry.

According to him, “As military head of state, he dealt with the Federal Executive Council with the tenets of democracy. Buhari will build new refineries to make petroleum products available for the masses. No responsible government will allow the masses to suffer.

“He will strengthen the refineries within a year. It is possible as we won’t spend any amount in setting up a green field refinery.

“We already have a blueprint as we shall use what we have to get what we want,” 

On Buhari’s stance on fuel subsidy, David said the people’s general has always said that the subsidy is a scam.

65-Year Old Mother of 13: Pregnant with Quadruplets!

According Germany's Bild newspaper, this 65-year old is over five months into a pregnancy that will yield her four children, a fact that would be stunning enough on its own... until one considers:
Raunigk is already the mother of 13 children!!!


Raunigk is also a grandmother of seven kids and gave birth at age 55 to her now-youngest daughter.
Thus far, the expecting mother of quadruplets is progressing at a normal and healthy rate.

"Any pregnancy of a woman over age 45 has to be considered a high-risk pregnancy; over 60, this is naturally extreme," Dr. Holger Stepan, head of obstetrics at the University of Leipzig said, tells to The Associated Press.

Stepan adds that the 65-year-old body is definitely not designed to carry a pregnancy, not of one child and certainly not of quadruplets," but Raunigk is defiant:

"How does one have to be at 65? One must apparently always fit some cliches, which I find rather tiring. I think, one must decide that for oneself," she told a German publication.

AFP reports that Raunigk is due this summer, which will reportedly make her the oldest mother to ever give birth to quadruplets.

Let's hope everyone comes out of it happy and healthy.

Bruce Jenner to Appear as a Woman in Diane Sawyer Interview

Here is what we know about the upcoming Bruce interview with Diane Sawyer:
 
It will air on Friday, April 24. It will be titled “Bruce Jenner: The Interview.” Oh, and now there's this:
It will give viewers their first look at Bruce Jenner as a woman.

According to TMZ insiders, Jenner will "present himself" publicly as a female at some point during the ABC special. What does that mean, exactly?

Not that we’ll learn his new name and now that he’ll actually dress differently. Instead, sources say jenner sees this sit-down as the most "significant" event associated with his sex change.
It will mark his coming out. To Bruce, it will be more important than any of the procedures associated with his gender transformation.

As for the actual content of the Q&A?
Look for Jenner to go all the way back to his life at the age of five, when he first identified himself as a woman. He’ll discuss the difficulties he has faced living like a man… but feeling like someone else.

Jenner will also go into detail about the impact his decision has had on KIM and all his loved ones.

The interview, which Bruce hopes will "free" himself and "educate" the public on transgender topics, is just the first step in this star's journey.

He is still booked to anchor a docuseries that will actually track his life as a woman.

Jenner has been trying to get out of the show, but we believe contracts are signed and E! still plans on airing the program. Because of course it does.

OPC Warns Nigerians Against The Unbecoming Comments Directed At Oba Akiolu

 

Press statement from OPC;

The attention of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) has been drawn to some unruly and unbecoming comments purportedly in reaction to alleged comments by the paramount ruler of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu and warn all those involved to desist from such unbecoming acts forthwith. 

The institution of the oba is one the Yoruba race hold in high esteem, and the OPC as irredentist defenders of Yoruba culture and heritage would therefore not tolerate anybody -irrespective of their places of birth of conviction- to denigrate what their hosts (Yorubas) hold sacred.

 While we accept that that institution should remain non-partisan, it must also be acknowledged that the Palace of the Oba of Lagos has already claimed that the royal father was misrepresented in the press and pleaded for understanding.
Be that as it may, the Yoruba’s accommodating and loving nature should not be misconstrued as timidity. As hosts, we have given all our visitors enough space and opportunity to bloom and flourish without molestations, and of all the tribes and visitors in Lagos, none has enjoyed the benevolence of Lagos and indeed all of Yorubaland as much as the Igboman and nation.
The evidence of the claim above can be found in the fact that Yorubaland as a whole is the most cosmopolitan area in Nigeria. We Yoruba have allowed other tribes to own businesses, properties and even contest and hold political positions on Yoruba soil in a manner unreciprocated anywhere else in Nigeria.
Using the same Lagos as an example, the fact that the likes of Pastor Ben. Akabueze and Joe Igbokwe have become an integral part of the political frame work of Lagos State for years now is proof enough that Lagos and indeed the Yoruba are excellent hosts. Akabueze has for the last ten years been directing and coordinating the economic direction of the state from his enviable position as the honorable commissioner for budget and planning while Igbokwe has held sways general manager at LASIMRA and head, UFRU.
Others such as Ngozi Nwosu the popular actress from Imo State who got N6million for overseas surgery, the late comrade Chima Ubani whose family got cash and a gift of 3bedroom accommodation at Marwa Gardens as well as First Consultant Hospital that got N50 million as compensation for involvement in the Ebola case are evidence that the Igbos are not despised in Lagos.
Nowhere in Nigeria -east of the Niger- is the Yoruba or any other tribe accorded the kind of gesture the Igbos have been enjoying in Lagos in the last 12 or so years since these bonafide Igbo men entered into the Lagos political scene. As for the likes of Bode George, Fani-Kayode, Musiliu Obanikoro and their party the PDP, their outcry is the reaction of a person or group without shame and critical thinking (arojinle).
Is it that they have a case of memory dysfunction or are they just plain mischievous. Have they so quickly forgotten that it is their party that started the politicization of the institution and monarchy with the president’s visit to the same Oba of Lagos earlier this January as the forerunner to visits to many other obas in Yorubaland. None of the PDP members complaining now saw any thing wrong with the attempts to involve our obas in partisan politics until it backfired against them and their party.
This brings us to the warning we issued earlier, when Gani Adams in his treacherous, sycophantic and reactionary move turned on the good people of Lagos unleashing violence and threat of violence against the perceived enemies of his paymasters. If Adams had not behaved like an omo ojuorolari, he should by now be defending the sacredness of the stool of the Oba of Lagos or any other one in Yorubaland for that matter. If Adams had not collected the billions he did, along with MASSOB and other ethnic groups, his co-travellers would now be degenerating and abusing our hospitality the way no one can replicate in their homelands.
In closing, we enjoin all members of the OPC and indeed the Yoruba nation to beware of the enemies within like Gani Adams and with one voice condemn all fifth columnist within our fold. And with the foregoing it is abundantly clear that Gani Adams who brought this odium upon us must quit the OPC.
