Almajiri, out-of-school children volcano waiting to erupt — Gov Abiodun

Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, has described the issue of Almajiri and out-of-school children in the country as a volcano waiting to erupt.....Read Full Article>>

Abiodun added that the issue is a national challenge that needs to be addressed before it gets out of control.

The governor spoke on Thursday while receiving members of the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children’s Education, who paid him a courtesy call in his office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

He stressed that this calls for concern, as they could easily be manipulated to cause havoc in the country.

Abiodun said: “The issue of Almajiri is a national challenge. It is not a challenge for a section of this country, but a national challenge. The National Security Adviser and I sat down to discuss this issue, and we deliberated on what actionable steps can be taken that are implementable, breaking them down into immediate, medium- to long-term, and sustainable steps to ensure that we collectively deal with the issue, which I described as a volcanic eruption that we can’t see now that appears dormant but is very viable.

“The last time we had protests, we saw an unusually high number of protests, significantly from the north. When you look at those protesters, they were Almajiri children. It was obvious that they didn’t have a clue about what they were doing. Some of them were carrying Russian flags, which means that they didn’t understand what that meant. They were tools in the hands of manipulators, willing and ready tools in the hands of manipulators who probably gave them a meal or something meagre, and they were ready to go for it.

“I assure you that, as the governor of Ogun State and the Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum, we will do our best to address this issue, even though we have a lower number of out-of-school children in the south.”

He attributed the high number of out-of-school children in the state to a large student population due to the influx of people from other parts of the country coming to work or live in the state, adding that his administration is taking steps to address the situation.

The governor assured that he would liaise with his colleagues to replicate similar commission in their various states.

Speaking earlier, the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Alternative Education, Almustapha Rabah, said Nigeria has the highest number of out-of-school children after Pakistan and India, urging all hands to be on deck to address the issue.

Also speaking, the Executive Secretary of the Commission, Dr. Muhammad Idris, disclosed that Nigeria has about 30 million Almajiri roaming the streets as a result of the irresponsibility of their parents.

He said the Almajiri, apart from constituting a nuisance, are manipulated and recruited into banditry, while some are made to join terrorist gangs, thus posing a security challenge to the nation.

By

Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, was on Friday grilled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), over claims of bribing some officials of the commission with the sum of ₦15 million.....Read Full Article>>

Naija News recalls that Bobrisky was heard in a viral audio released by social media critic, Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, claiming that some yet-to-be-identified EFCC officials collected ₦15 million from him to drop the money laundering charges against him.

A source in the anti-graft commission who spoke with Punch on Friday night said Bobrisky’s interrogation began immediately after he was moved to Abuja.

The source said, “He was interrogated for hours upon his arrival here. He is still with us as I speak (8:30pm).”
Why We Arrested Bobrisky

Meanwhile, the EFCC has shed light on the recent arrest of popular crossdresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky.

Naija News reports that Bobrisky was apprehended on Thursday night at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

He was allegedly trying to leave Nigeria for London amid ongoing bribery accusations.

Following his detention in Lagos, Bobrisky was subsequently moved to Abuja for further questioning.

EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, speaking with SaharaReporters on Friday, confirmed that Bobrisky was arrested after he failed to respond to a formal invitation from the Commission.

According to Oyewale, Bobrisky’s arrest is tied to an alleged bribery case, and the EFCC sought his cooperation to identify officials he claimed to have bribed.

When asked if Bobrisky would face bribery charges, Oyewale indicated that no official decision had been made on that matter yet.

I Did Not Give 20 Boyfriends My Body – Regina Daniels

Published

By

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has clarified her claim that she had 20 boyfriends before she met and married Nigerian Sena­tor, Ned Nwoko, the lawmak­er representing Delta North senatorial district.....Read Full Article>>

Earlier in the week, in a live session on Instagram Regina, 24, narrated her chance meeting with Mr Nwoko during a family out­ing. According to her, the entire family decided to go sightseeing, a decision she was not happy with. Howev­er, when they got there, she met the Senator whom she described as cute.

“When I started with my husband, I even forgot I was supposed to have boy­friends because I had twenty boyfriends at that time, one to buy water and one to do other things.

“When people think I didn’t have a choice and when people think mum­my forced me, not knowing that mummy was against the marriage and my entire family said no,” she said.

However, after the debate generated on social media, the actress and filmmaker has now come out to say that she was a virgin when she married her husband.

She wrote; “Hey everyone I want to clarify the 20 boy­friend ish solely to soothe my husband and also edu­cate young girls that having several male/boy friends willing to do things for you doesn’t mean you owe them your body. And oh yes. I did have a lot but I made a prom­ise to keep my virginity till my marriage. And guess what? I did!!!. It’s a big flex.

“But hold on! What did you guys expect na? It was your little beautiful sweet­heart, Regina Daniels. Of course men and ladies would admire. So everyone chill pls.”
