Merkel Warns Trump Against 'Destroying' UN

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday (Sep 30) warned US President Donald Trump against "destroying" the United Nations.

"I believe that destroying something without having developed something new is extremely dangerous," Merkel said at a regional election campaign event in Bavaria.

The veteran leader - a close ally of Trump's bugbear Barack Obama while he was president - added that she believed multilateralism was the solution to many of the world's problems.

Trump failed to see the possibility for win-win solutions, she said, instead seeing only one winner from any international negotiation.


In his second appearance before the UN's annual gathering last week, Trump told the General Assembly that he and his administration "reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism".

"Global governance" is a form of "coercion and domination" that "responsible nations must defend against", he charged.

Merkel's opposing view to the US leader puts her in the same camp as UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, who warned before Trump took the podium in New York Tuesday that "today, world order is increasingly chaotic".

The Niger State Child Right Agency has arrested a 40-year-old businessman, identified simply as Ashiru, for allegedly r*ping his neighbour’s nine-year-old daughter.

An official of the agency, Mr. Ezekiel Gana, said the girl’s grandmother discovered that she had been injured when the old woman noticed the abnormal way the girl was walking.

The incident occurred at the New Market area of Maitumbi in Minna, the state capital.

The grandmother reported the matter to the agency, whose director general, Mariam Kolo, ordered for the arrest of the suspect.

Gana said the suspect refused to give any other name apart from Ashiru but admitted to have defiled the small girl inside his shop.

He said the suspect had been taken to the State Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department (SCIID) for further interrogation while the girl was taken to the police clinic for examination and treatment.

The girl complained of stomach pain and was treated for it.

The Nigeria Labour Congress has suspended its seven-day warning strike following promises by the Federal Government to reconvene the tripartite committee on national minimum wage on October 4, 2018.

The labour movement said the suspension took effect from Sunday, and further directed its affiliate unions and state councils to maintain “a high level of mobilisation and readiness until the struggle for a reasonable minimum wage is achieved.”

He stated that the two-day meeting would be the final session of the committee after which a final report would be submitted to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The NLC President said, “We invite you here today (Sunday) to inform you that we have received a firm and formal invitation to a reconvened meeting of the tripartite committee scheduled for the 4th and 5th of October, 2018.

Ambode's World Press Conference: The Core Text

Akinwunmi Ambode, governor of Lagos state, has stated that Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the man being propelled by Bola Tinubu and others to secure the ticket of the APC in 2019, is not fit for such high office.

At a press conference in on Sunday, Ambode said: 

“We have never responded to the campaign of calumny on social media. We have one family in APC. The aspirant being put up to compete against us is not a fit and proper person to take this job.

"I have done everything in the last three and half years to serve people selflessly and to serve the poor.

"This particular aspirant is somebody that has been arrested for spending fake dollars in a nightclub in America, and he has been detained for months.

"He doesn’t have the competence to do what he is being propelled to do. This is somebody that has gone for rehabilitation before. The records are there at the Gbagada General Hospital. we don’t want to go too far. Our leadership should have a rethink.

"I plead with our leaders to have a rethink, It is not about me, it is about the opportunity that APC has.”

Ambode Hints At Press Conference That APC's Favourite Sanwo-Olu Was Detained Over Fake Dollars In US

The Peoples Democratic Party on Sunday said it reviewed the world press conference held by the Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, and surmised that the governor validated its position that the All Progressives Congress allegedly consists of those it described as fraudsters and election riggers.

Governor Ambode had in the press conference stated that his opponent in the race, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, was arrested for spending fake dollars in the United States of America. Ambode further stated that Sanwo-Olu was detained in the USA on account of the alleged crime.

The governor further alleged that his party, the APC, was disenfranchising its members by insisting that registered members of the party, who were yet to be issued with membership cards, will not be allowed to participate in the gubernatorial primary election.

The PDP,  in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary,  Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan in Abuja on Sunday, said that by  “this, the whole world can see that the APC is nothing but a den of fraudsters and corrupt persons who not only cheated their way to power through lies and propaganda in 2015 but have also continued to bleed and defraud our nation with humongous sleazes and massive corruption in very high places.”

He added, “That is why the APC will have no scruples to project persons of questionable character and those with allegations of corruption hanging on the necks as their National Chairman and governorship aspirants.

“We challenge President Muhammadu Buhari to show his claimed integrity by ordering an open investigation into this huge allegation against his party’s governorship aspirant.”

Ologbondiyan called on Lagosians and Nigerians to note “this ugly trend in the APC and ensure that they throw this undesirable party to the dustbin of history, come 2019.”

You Did Not Serve NYSC Like Me - Shittu Exposes Gov. Ajimobi

Following his disqualification from the Oyo gubernatorial race by the APC for skipping NYSC, Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu has disclosed that Governor Abiola Ajimobi equally skipped the mandatory national youth service scheme.

If you expose me, I will expose you...

The ruling APC had on Friday disqualified Shittu after the minister admitted that he deliberately skipped NYSC because he felt his membership of the Oyo House of Assembly after he graduated from the university had served as national youth service.

But in a revelation he made on Channels Politics Today program on Sunday, Shittu said Ajimobi, who recently indicated that he would be running for senate after his tenure as governor, allegedly does not have NYSC certificate.

The minister said the NYSC saga over which he was disqualified was allegedly ochestrated by Governor Ajimobi to get him out of the race because the governor knows that he will jail him if he becomes governor of Oyo State.

He equally claimed to have petitioned the National Working Committee of the APC over his disqualification. He dedcribed the indirect governirship primary as an exercise in futility.

Shittu further stated on the programme that he has gone to court and that he believed he would get justice. The minister described his NYSC saga as a constitutional crisis that would be resolve by the court.

But as the election began, the legal icon announced his withdrawal from the race.

Adelabu is the grandson of the Ibadan notable politician, Adegoke Adelabu, popularly known as Penkelemesi.

Tinubu Releases Statement On APC Primary Against Ambode

Bola Tinubu takes a stand against Governor Ambode Over "Master-plan":

1. (Monday), our party and the people of Lagos will have an encounter with destiny. We shall hold our governorship primary.

2. With the holding of direct primaries to elect governorship candidates in Lagos and other states, the APC takes a groundbreaking step toward greater internal democracy and progressive governance for the benefit of all people.

3. While our party is young, it has grown fast and has travelled far in a short time. This speaks well of the character of you, the party’s rank-and-file members. What, in other nations, has taken political parties generations to achieve, we have done in a few brief years.

4. No other party in Nigeria dare attempt what we have already dedicated ourselves to do. I thank and commend all APC members and all Lagosians who have lent their support to this historic and humane mission upon which our party has embarked.

5. We are democrats in the truest sense of the word. As such, we forever search for what is good and right for the people. With this ideal as our guide, tomorrow’s primary cannot be shaded by selfish ambition or the perceived personal grievance between this or that person.

6. Something much greater waits in the balance. What is at stake is nothing less than the future of the people of this state and how we can best maximise our collective destiny. By resort to direct primaries, the party places the people’s future soundly in their hands.

7. As democracy would have it, you shall be the authors of the party’s nomination and hopefully our next state government. I trust in the wisdom of the people and will abide it. However, as a leader of the party and as a former governor of our beloved and excellent Lagos,

8. I would be remiss if I did not make a few observations regarding the primary. My goal is and shall always be a better Lagos. To this objective, I have dedicated the greater part of my public life.

9. Roughly 20 years ago, a corps of dedicated and patriotic Lagosians, put aside personal interests and rivalries, to put their minds and best ideas together for the good of the state.

10. Out of this collaborative effort, was born a master plan for economic development that would improve the daily lives of our people. Bestowed on me was the honour of a lifetime when I was elected to be your governor in 1999. My administration faithfully implemented that plan.

11. The government of my immediate successor, Tunde Fashola, also honoured this enlightened plan. Where state government remained true to that blueprint, positive things happened.

12. During my tenure and Governor Fashola’s, Lagos state recorded improvements in all aspects of our collective existence, from public health to public sanitation, from education to social services, from the administration of justice to the cleaning of storm and sewage drains.

13. Businesses, large and small, invested, hired millions of workers and thrived. All Lagosians were to fully participate and justly benefit from the social dividends and improvements wrought by this plan.

14. From the common labourer, to business leaders, to professionals and our industrious civil service. We all were to be partners in a monumental but joint enterprise.

15. None was to be alienated. None was to be left out. And none were to be pushed aside. This is especially true for those who contributed so much to our development, whether as a business leader who has invested heavily in Lagos...

16. the homeowner who struggles to pay his fair share of taxes or as someone employed in the hard work of keeping our streets and byways clean so that others may go about their daily tasks unimpeded.

17. I make no pretence that the master plan is perfect. It can always be fine-tuned. However, whenever a government departed from this plan without compelling reason, the state and its people have borne the painful consequence of the improper departure.

18. I am encouraged by the emergence of a candidate in this primary who has served the state in senior positions in my administration, the Fashola administration and even in the current one.

19. While possessing a wealth of experience and exposure, he is a young man endowed with superlative vision and commitment. Most importantly, he understands the importance of the blueprint for development...

20. ...He esteems it as a reliable and well-conceived vehicle for the future development of the state. He also knows the value of reaching out and working with others in order to maximize development and provide people the best leadership possible.

21. We walk into this primary strong and confidently believing in the right course we are to take. We shall emerge from this primary even stronger and more confident that we have taken that course by returning Lagos and our party to their finest path.New

Babajide Sanwo-Olu Cries Out: Ambode Lied Against Me

Anointed Lagos APC Governorship aspirant, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has responded to claims made by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, during his world press conference on Sunday.

Sanwo-Olu, in a statement, called for respect and insisted that “my pursuit of office will continue to be based upon issues that matter to Lagosians and not on attacks against someone’s character, even when he attack mine”.

He also stated that he has forgiven Ambode ahead of Monday’s primary and “hopes he regains his balance and proper comportment no matter the outcome of tomorrow’s contest”.

The full statement read: “Let it be heard by all that I hold the people of Lagos state with great respect and affection. Their welfare is my utmost concern and it is what drives my pursuit for the governorship nomination of the APC. 

As such, I also hold the office of governor of our state in high esteem. I shall never consciously do anything that will undermine the dignity of the office nor will I engage in personal attacks against the holder of that officer. My pursuit of office will continue to be based upon issues that matter to Lagosians and not on attacks against someone’s character, even when he attack mine. For anyone to engage in unwarranted character attacks against me, reveals more about that person’s character than it says about mine.

Thus, I felt sad for Lagos as I watched Press Conference by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. Many things he said was beneath the dignity of our people and the exalted office he now holds. Perhaps the tension and anxiety of the moment got the better of him. If given a chance at cooler reflection of what he said, I am sure he would regret his descent into such low conduct. In this vein, I forgive him and hope he regains his balance and proper comportment no matter the outcome of tomorrow’s contest. After all, we are both here to improve Lagos not to wrestle in its streets.

However, I must clear up some inaccuracies in the Governor’s statement. His allegation that I was arrested for spending fake dollars at a night club in the United States was untrue. In fact, the governor knows I travelled to the United States just last month. I would not have been allowed to travel or even get a visa if I had been involved in what the Governor falsely alleged.

That the Governor claimed I underwent some unidentified type of “rehabilitation” at the Gbagada General Hospital was also shameless and untrue. Promulgation of salacious rumor should not be part of the job description of a governor. This is not the stuff of high office. People should question whether it's ethically right for the Governor to turn what should be confidential medical information about a citizen into a weapon of political warfare? But for avoidance of doubt, let it be stated that I never received any treatment whatsoever at the Gbagada General Hospital.

Today, instead of making a convincing defense of his performance, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode sought to sow fear into the hearts of Lagosians.

But Lagosians are an intelligent and brave people. They can see through the smoke and the fog. I am here not to tear my opponent down but to help build Lagos up. With me, you will hear about progress on education, health, sanitation, proper tax levels, economic development, infrastructure, jobs, public services and other things that enhance the lives of people. I am a serious person and this primary is a serious matter. I have not the time or inclination to attack character when there are so many real issues to address.

We will continue to focus on the issues that matter in the lives of the people of Lagos. Lagosians want an answer to the sanitation crisis cast loss of jobs caused by Mr. Ambode’s Visionscape misadventure. Our people will want to know why Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has not been able to build a single General Hospital in the State when his immediate predecessor Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) built 11 General Hospitals. Lagosians are waiting to hear what our solutions are. They want to know why hundreds of competent civil servants got summarily dismissed and how this has undermined public services.

As a candidate for the party’s nomination and hopefully as your next governor, my approach will not be to sling insults but to propose solutions to the problems of the day.”

British Ministers' Phone Numbers Leaked In App Flaw

Phone numbers and other personal details of senior ministers from Britain's Conservative party were made public by an app security flaw on Saturday, including those of top Brexiteers Michael Gove and Boris Johnson.

Several top MPs reportedly received nuisance calls after their profiles were accessed on the official mobile application for the annual party conference.

The security breach saw members of the public able to enter the profiles using just the politicians' email addresses -- easily available online -- to view and edit the data stored within.


Former foreign secretary Johnson had his profile picture briefly swapped for pornography and his job title changed to an profane insult, according to several Twitter users.

Meanwhile Environment Secretary Gove's picture was changed to one of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, his former employer when he was a journalist.

Among the first to report the flaw was Dawn Foster, a columnist for daily The Guardian.

"The Tory conference app allows you to log in as other people and view their contact details just with their email address, no emailed security links, and post comments as them," she wrote on Twitter, using a colloquial name for the party.

"They've essentially made every journalist, politician and attendee's mobile number public. Fantastic."

A Conservative party spokesperson apologized for the breach, saying the technical issue had "been resolved and the app is now functioning securely".

But the opposition Labor Party said the blunder showed the ruling party could not be trusted in matters of security.

Nigeria's Independence: A Message From Olu Famous

Happy Independence Nigerians. Our country is today a shame to other Nations in terms of human capital and infrastructural development. Many are ready to die in the desert or sea, than remain in a Lifeless country without much hope for the average youth. The government has failed and is still failing. No deliberate efforts to empower Nigerians with the Right Skills and Resources to Transform our Nation for the good of all.

What will it take Nigeria to cut the Salaries and Allowances of ALL PUBLIC OFFICE HOLDERS from the President down to the councillor by 75%? And whoever cannot serve Nigeria with 25% of what he/she is getting presently should simply resign and go face their private business.

What will it cost the Federal Government to build REAL Technology Training facilities in all states of the Federation and train our teeming youths to manufacture things like Microwave, Pressing Iron, Freezer, Television, Camera, Laptop, Cars, etc. and make all necessary raw materials available to achieve this?

This is the way to change Nigeria. Every other thing is child's play.

Big Battle In Lagos: VP Osibanjo Denies Endorsing Sanwo-Olu

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has not endorsed Babajide Sanwo-Olu in the Lagos All Progressives Congress governorship primary scheduled for Monday.

Contrary to the impressions created by pictures on the social media that shows the Vice President with Sanwo-Olu, Osinbajo is neutral in the Lagos power battle.

He merely came to plead with the party leaders to allow a level playing field for the two contestants, including the incumbent Akinwunmi Ambode.

According to a statement by Osinbajo’s office, Osinbajo yesterday attended a meeting of the Lagos State General Advisory Council, GAC, where he had been invited by the elders on the council.

Before the meeting, the Vice President who had been in Lagos to participate in the Presidential primaries in the State had met with Governors Ambode and the APC National Leader Ashiwaju Bola Tinubu.

APC gubernatorial aspirants Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Obafemi Hamzat were also at the premises of the GAC meeting ahead of the Vice President’s arrival.

At the GAC meeting, Prof Osinbajo, who is believed to be supportive of a second term bid for Ambode, conveyed the view of the Buhari presidency that there should be a level playing field in the overall conduct of the primaries.

Informed sources at the meeting said the purpose of VP’s attendance at the GAC was to report on a previous meeting held between him and Governor Aregbesola on how to resolve some of the outstanding issues around Governor Ambode‘s second term bid and its fallouts.

“It was while he was coming out of the meeting that Mr. Sanwo-Olu and Mr. Hamzat took advantage of the VP’S presence to take the photos which are now being falsely paraded as proof of endorsement.

“The VP did not go to endorse the candidate, they only took advantage of his presence,” a source at the meeting confirmed last night.

Lagos Police Commissioner faces urgent transfer over Ambode?

The disposition of many leaders of the APC in Lagos, loyal to Bola Tinubu, before and after a stakeholders meeting at the party’s secretariat, showed that they were not satisfied with the level of security provided for them.

From the moment date of the party’s primary election was made known publicly, members of the APC had continue raising concerns and drawing attention of their leaders to the relationship between Governor Ambode and Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, and how the latter could manipulate and influence security process in favor of the governor, after leaders of the party turned their backs at his second term bid.

The claims were that the if the incumbent governor would not be getting favored on his second term request, his school mate, who is a CP in Lagos, would not deny him of assistance at the expense of the party leaders.

On that ground was their raised concerns that the state was not in safe hands and that Edgal would cause unrecoverable damage if he is not transfered before the APC’s governorship primaries.

On that insinuation, bulk of calls between the leaders over the night, after the tensed stakeholders’ meeting, centered on the need for immediate transfer or swapping of the CP, on ground of allegation that Edgal had been compromised and that he should no longer be trusted with security of the state.

Undoubtedly, crisis has continued rocking the state chapter of APC over who becomes flag bearer of the party, the fight of which is between Ambode and leaders’ anointed candidate, Babajide Sanwo-olu, in governorship race, ahead of pronounced direct primary slated 1st of October, the process of which was twice shifted due to undisclosed reasons.

Continuous pressure over the matter was said to had forced the party’s National Leader, Bola Tinubu, to reach out to the right quarters at the presidency, on need to have the CP transferred from the state within 24 hours.

An insider who put call through to The Guild confided that the CP’s transfer was imminent.

Meanwhile, a source from office of Chairman, Lagos state chapter of APC, Tunde Balogun, stated that the party was not satisfied, particularly the chairman, over level of security witnessed yesterday and that unknown faces and thugs were allowed to take over the party’s secretariat due to inadequate level of police presence.

He claimed that members of the party were of strong conviction that the action of police commissioner was deliberate and that APC leaders no longer feel safe with Edgal and Ambode, who is his school mate.

AMBODE EXPLODES: Babajide Sanwo-Olu Is A Criminal, Mentally Unstable To Govern Lagos

The crisis rocking APC Governorship race took a dangerous turn on Sunday. Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is ready to face the gang up against him. He literally went for broke, throwing all his arsenals into the ring ahead of the governorship primary today.

Ambode, believed to have the support of Aso Rock, threw in a bombshell: his only rival in the primary, Babajide Sanwo-Olu was once arrested in the United States for spending fake dollars in a night club.

Ambode said, Sanwo-Olu, who is being backed by APC national leader, Bola Tinubu and some special interests in the state, has psychiatric issues and is not well...

Sanwo-Olu is not a fit and proper candidate for the position of Lagos governor, Ambode said.

“He has been arrested for spending fake US dollars in an American night club. He lacks competency and health wise, he has gone through mental rehabilitation."

The governor disclosed that Sanwo-Olu served time in US prisons in connection with a string of counterfeit bill-passing incidents in the country.

At the press conference in Lagos the governor said he is under no illusion about the battle ahead in the APC primary for governor, but said "We shall overcome.”

He said he is ready for a free and fair primary elections, but warned party thugs to keep away from the wards.

He said as Chief security officer of the state, he would ensure security at all the wards.

Davido Reacts To INEC's Declaration Of APC’s Oyetola As Osun Governorship Election Winner

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, last week Thursday declared Gboyega Oyetola of the APC as the winner of the governorship election in Osun State after he polled a total of 255,505 votes after the collation of the results of the supplementary election in seven polling units across four local governments, while PDP's Ademola Adeleke polled a total of 255,023 votes to come second.

This came after Nigerian music superstar, Davido's uncle, Ademola Adeleke scored the highest number of votes, beating Oyetola with 353 votes at the initial election that held last Saturday, but INEC declared the election inconclusive and ordered a rerun because the number of cancelled votes in the seven polling units was far higher than the margin by which Adeleke beat Oyetola.

And following this supplementary votes held on Thursday, APC's Oyetola overtook and beat Adeleke with a total margin of 482 votes.

Music Critic, Osagie Tried To Reach Us After Saying Teni Has No Business With Music- Manager

Singer, Teni Apata, was recently the centre of attention on social media when a music critic, Osagie Alonge, said she had no business being a singer because of her looks.

When Sunday Scoop reached out to Teni, her manager, Edobor Redman, said they were not disturbed about the comment, as it was just an opinion. Redman said, “It is normal and everyone has their different opinions on an issue or about an individual. In a way, it was good for Teni too, as it has made her more popular among Nigerians. An opinion of someone cannot stop Teni’s focus.”

He stated that when the story circulated, Osagie sent messages to tender an apology. He said, “You know Teni has crazy fans; all the reactions online were in our favour. We were just relaxed about it and we didn’t need to say a word. They have been sending people who know us to beg us and I think he (Osagie) tried to reach us himself too.”


Speaking on Teni’s reaction to Osagie’s comment on her, Edobor stated, “She just felt it was his own opinion; she is not bothered about it. For her, she is only focused on where she is going. She made a promise to Nigerians that she would bring home a Grammy award and she is working towards that.”
