Glo hosts stakeholders to evening of razzmatazz as Asake, Chike, Gordons, others thrill





Digital and telecommunications services company, Globacom, on Saturday, November 25, hosted captains of industry, high networth customers and business associates, to an exquisite event at Eko Hotels & Suite, Victoria Island, Lagos, tagged ‘An Evening with Glo”.

At the event, the company’s new communication direction, “Powering Your Ambition”, was formally unveiled. The campaign showcases the preparedness and capability of Globacom to support businesses and individuals with the right tools and services to enable them to set ambitious personal and business targets and realize them to the full.

Executive Vice Chairman of Globacom, Mrs Bella Disu, paid tribute to Glo subscribers, partners, stakeholders and all those who have been with the company every step of the way for their support since inception. “Your contributions have been essential to Globacom’s success story over the past two decades, and our story would be incomplete without you. This event is special for many reasons, one being that Globacom celebrated its 20th anniversary this past August. We’re incredibly proud of this feat, which symbolises two decades of our commitment to excellent service delivery, quality, innovation, and outstanding communication strategies. This remarkable journey and the heights we’ve reached are all thanks to the visionary leadership and tenacity of our founder and Chairman, Dr Mike Adenuga Jr.”, she stated.
L-R: Chief Technical officer, Roll Out, Globacom, Mr. Remi Makinde; Director of Customer Care, Catherine Bomett, Executive Vice Chairman, Globacom, Mrs Bella Disu, and Managing Director, Huawei Nigeria, Mr. Chris Lu, at “An Evening with Glo” event held at Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos, on Saturday.

Mrs Disu noted that the current pace of digital transformation was far quicker than what it was when Globacom started. “What was once deemed impossible is now the norm. As a digital solutions provider, we embrace these unlimited opportunities to serve our customers by constantly investing in the latest tools and technology.

She explained that the new communication direction focuses more on powering and driving ambition, while ensuring success for Glo’s existing and future customers and commended the Marketing Communications team for the creatives. She added, however, that “The creative genius steering us and whipping up most of these ideas is none other than the great guru himself, our Chairman, Dr Mike Adenuga Jr. I’m not sure he would have wanted me to share that, but after 20 years of his creative direction, I think it’s fair to let the cat out of the bag!
“We are excited about the next 20 years of serving our customers by pre-empting and fulfilling their needs in ways that help them achieve their ambitions. We count on you all to be by our side as we write tomorrow’s success stories”, Mrs Disu concluded.
Showcasing the new commercials for the company’s new communication direction, Globacom said that every new business innovation, product and service the company deploy brings its customers one step closer to their goals, “‘Powering Ambition’ is much more than just a proposition, describing it as a promise which has seen Globacom partnering with its customers in delivering cutting edge digital transformation of their businesses and innovative ideas”.
“We amplify the voice and entrepreneurial spirit of that business start-up via Glo SME in A Box. We also accelerate the pace of that next tech giant and strengthen that already accomplished local businessman”. The company said.
According to Globacom, “Nigeria’s Unlimited Potential is forged in the Ambition of the Nigerian Spirit, it is only right that Nigeria’s one and only Unlimited Network is at the heart and forefront of Powering the Ambition of our great nation. Your ambition is Nigeria’s greatest resource, and we’re here to power it, so that it catapults us all from the realm of ideas into the plane of reality”.
This we achieve through our diverse enterprise and e-commerce offers, with super high way access to the internet via our high capacity Submarine Cable to the UK and an extensive national fibre optic backbone infrastructure, LTE advanced ultra high-speed streaming quality experience and huge investments in constantly ugrading our network.
It was also an evening of fun and entertainment with award-winning comedian, Godwin Komone (Gordons), anchoring the show which was attended by captains of industry, business executives, government officials, entertainment stars and Nollywood legends. There were also performances by master saxophonist Yemi Sax, humour merchant, Arinze Baba, and tap dancers from South Africa who all ensured it was an all-round fun for guests who filled the venue to the brim.

The climax of the show was the electrifying performances by Glo ambassadors and music stars, Asake and Chike. They had the audience on their feet, signing along with the artistes and dancing into the early hours of Sunday to Chike’s “Osondi Owendi”, “If you no love”, and “Roju” as well as “Sungba “Joha” by Asake.

Asake could have felt anything but lonely on the night as his hit track “Lonely at the top” sent the audience into wild ecstasy as many surged forward to show him love as he literally brought down the roof with his performance.

Earlier, Globacom hosted the media at a press conference held at the company’s headquarters, Mike Adenuga Towers, Victoria Island, Lagos where it expressed gratitude to the media for its massive support in the last two decades.
The company’s outstanding contributions to the nation’s telecoms industry since its rolled out services in 2003 was clearly showcased, thus setting the tone for another achievement-filled decade, as the digital services company marches confidently towards its 30th anniversary.

2023 elections brought Nigeria’s worst court judgements – Bwala

Welcome!!!


2023 elections brought Nigeria’s worst court judgements – Bwala 






Spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala




Daniel Bwala, spokesperson for the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar said the 2023 elections have brought about Nigeria’s worst court judgements in recent years.


Bwala said this in an interview with Arise Television on Monday,


According to him, the electoral tribunals of the 2023 presidential and gubernatorial elections led to the most inconsistent and worst judgements that the courts have delivered.

He expressed dissappointment over the sack of the Plateau State governor, the PDP’s Caleb Muftwang, by the Appeal Court in Jos.


Bwala said, “In 2023 elections, we have had the worst judgement of courts. We have not had so much of conflicting decisions by one tier of government, because if you look at the election tribunal this year;


“…you will notice that there were inconsistencies in one or two tribunal cases at the trial level, and probably at the Supreme Court, one or two complaints, but at the Court of Appeal is where almost all of these conflicting judgements have so far been experienced.”


Bwala further stated, “The court of Appeal is one court, so the court in Abuja can be relied on as the same court in Lagos, and as such, one will expect the court to be able to keep abreast of its judgements and keep consistent and constant judgements.


“The judgement by the court of Appeal in Plateau State that removed the governor, the appellate court dealt into the merit of a pre-election matter, and they said it also qualified as a pre-election and main election, and they delivered the judgement. 


“The same court of Appeal in Ebonyi state, the case of pre-election was canvassed. The court of Appeal in Ebonyi said it’s a pre-election matter, we do not delve into pre-election.”


Bwala said the decision taken in Ebonyi state was also taken in Benue state, as the Appeal Court refused to delve into pre-election matters.

He noted that in the case of the 2023 elections, the Supreme Court had made it clear that opposition members of a political party are not allowed to bring up a case of pre-election matters of other political parties to the courts.

The lawyer said that several retired justices have always, in their judgements, classified the decisions by lower courts that did not follow the judgement of the Supreme Court as “Judicial Rascality.”


He added that they are embarking on their own frolics contrary to the constitution that says the judgement of the Supreme Court binds all other courts together.

He said, “I have no doubt in my mind that the Court of Appeal decision in Jos, when it goes to the Supreme Court, that like the way, when we say ‘All eyes are on the judiciary,’ the people seem to think that you’re blackballing the judiciary. No, when you say ‘all eyes are on the judiciary,’ you’re saying our hope now lies on how they will interpret.

“So, this case of Plateau State, when it goes to the Supreme Court, it will be a case of the Supreme Court vs the court of appeal. It has more to do with the sanctity and integrity of that Supreme Court itself;

“…because Supreme Court will have to determine whether that judgement they delivered in Presidential election tribunal is to be carried out by subordinate courts in Nigeria. Because they made it clear that a decision by the final court is called a settled law. 


“Once a law is not determined by the final court, it is not a settled law. But once it is determined by a final court, it is cast in stone. So, the Supreme Court will have to determine whether the Appeal court is above it, or it is above the Court of Appeal.”

Tinubu To Present Proposed 2024 Budget In Few Days — Abbas

Welcome!!!

Tinubu To Present Proposed 2024 Budget In Few Days — Abbas
 



President Bola Tinubu will, in the next few days, present the proposed 2024 budget (Appropriation Bill) to a joint session of the National Assembly, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, has said.


Abbas, who disclosed this at a one-day capacity-building retreat for chairmen and deputy chairmen of House Standing Committees in Abuja on Monday, also said the Green Chamber will convene a town hall meeting with stakeholders on the 2024 budget.
The Speaker asked chairmen and deputy chairmen of standing committees of the House to consider and finalise the budget within two weeks without compromising the integrity of the process by engaging in haphazard and superficial considerations.

He said: “As we expect to receive the 2024 Appropriation Bill in a few days, I wish to state that the House will convene a Budget Town Hall Meeting to enable citizens to make inputs into the 2024 Appropriation.

“It is the first time such an engagement is planned at the national level. I invite our partners to work with us in preparing for a vigorous and all-inclusive budget process.

President Bola Tinubu will, in the next few days, present the proposed 2024 budget (Appropriation Bill) to a joint session of the National Assembly, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, has said.

Abbas, who disclosed this at a one-day capacity-building retreat for chairmen and deputy chairmen of House Standing Committees in Abuja on Monday, also said the Green Chamber will convene a town hall meeting with stakeholders on the 2024 budget.

The Speaker asked chairmen and deputy chairmen of standing committees of the House to consider and finalise the budget within two weeks without compromising the integrity of the process by engaging in haphazard and superficial considerations.

He said: “As we expect to receive the 2024 Appropriation Bill in a few days, I wish to state that the House will convene a Budget Town Hall Meeting to enable citizens to make inputs into the 2024 Appropriation.

“It is the first time such an engagement is planned at the national level. I invite our partners to work with us in preparing for a vigorous and all-inclusive budget process.

 
“To ensure speedy passage of the 2024 budget, I charge all committees to double their efforts and finalise all considerations in two weeks.

“However, this does not imply haphazard and superficial consideration of the budget. Rather, it is a challenge to you to deploy all resources and make the needed sacrifices to ensure we pass the budget in good time for the good of all Nigerians.”

Abbas reminded the committee chairmen and their deputies that the legislature is central to the nation’s democracy, emphasising that a strong House was integral to ensuring that governance is conducted in an open, accountable, and representative manner.

“As chairmen and deputy chairmen of various committees, we must ensure that the House delivers on its Legislative Agenda. All Committees should study the relevant sections of the Agenda and incorporate them into their work plans. You are encouraged to rely on the Agenda and generate Bills, Motions and other legislative interventions.

“The success of the Agenda hinges on the efficiency, effectiveness, and integrity of our committees. In order to encourage compliance, we established the Committee on Monitoring and Evaluation of Standing and Ad-hoc Committees for the first time in the history of the Nigerian legislature. Its mandate is to ensure that all Committees live up to their mandates and operate effectively.

“The Committee will submit regular reports to the House and Leadership on the activities of all committees. I wish to encourage Committees to operate as ‘teams, consisting of chairmen, deputies, and all their members, not just a few individuals.

“To be effective, Committees must hold regular meetings, develop and adhere to annual work plans, report regularly, and engage with the public. However, the general effectiveness of Committees is contingent on a clear understanding of your mandate and objectives,” he said.

While lamenting the challenges that impede overall effectiveness of the committees and the legislature as a whole such as the high turnover rate, Abbas said: “the 10th House of Representatives has recorded the highest attrition rate since the return to democracy in 1999. As a result, critical knowledge and expertise have been lost in the process.

“Other factors that limit the effectiveness of our Committees include insufficient resources, particularly inadequate funding, staffing, and resources, all of which limit their ability to conduct thorough analysis and research. Despite the widely held belief, the House and its Committees are grossly underfunded, making it nearly impossible for them to function optimally.”

He also noted that the theme of the retreat: ‘Improving Legislative Performance through Effective Committee Management’ was deliberately chosen to provide a comprehensive understanding of the tasks ahead, especially for many of those who were taking up the legislative responsibilities for the first time.

He stated: “The legislature is central to our democracy, and a strong House is integral to ensuring that governance is conducted in an open, accountable, and representative manner.

“As chairmen and deputy chairmen of various committees, we must ensure that the House delivers on its Legislative Agenda. All committees should study the relevant sections of the Agenda and incorporate them into their work plans. You are encouraged to rely on the Agenda and generate bills, motions and other legislative interventions.”

In his remarks, the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, said committees of the House were the engineroom of legislative oversight, playing a pivotal role in scrutinising government policies, investigating public misconduct, and ensuring that the executive branch remains accountable to the people.

He said, “As Chairmen and Deputy Chairmen of these committees, you bear immense responsibility. Your leadership, your expertise, and your dedication are essential in steering the legislative agenda, shaping public policy, and upholding the principles of good governance.”

In his goodwill message, the Chief of Staff to the President, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, also said the Federal Government’s budget would be presented to the National Assembly “in a matter of days.”

The former Speaker of the House urged heads and members of standing committees to synergise while scrutinising the budgetary proposals during defence sessions.

Gbajabiamila also noted that committees were key to the legislative process, urging the chairmen and their deputies to work harmoniously.

He said: “The legislature is the engine room of a democratic
government, and you, the chairmen and deputies, are the gears that
keep that engine running. It is a high honour and a profound
responsibility.

“More than at any other time in the nation’s history, all of us who hold office in government must put our best foot forward every day so that by our joint endeavour, we can advance the cause of our nation.”


Ex-PGF DG Lukman says Fubara at risk of emasculation with dissolution of Rivers APC exco

Welcome!!!


 Ex-PGF DG Lukman says Fubara at risk of emasculation with dissolution of Rivers APC exco



Salihu Lukman


Former Director General of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), Dr Salihu Lukman has sounded a note of warning to the Rivers State Governor, Mr Siminalaye Fubara, of an impending move to undermine him following the dissolution of the executive members of the Rivers state chapter of the All progressives Congress (APC).

 

Lukman, in a piece titled: “End of Progressive Politics” argued that argued that If dissolution stand, stage managed congresses will be organised to produce new party executives at all levels who will be loyal to the Minister of the Federal capital territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.


Lukman who was the immediate past National Vice Chairman North of the APC envisaged that by 2027, Wike who has already fallen apart with Fubara would produce the APC Governorship candidate for Rivers State.


He claimed that APC under the leadership of President Tinubu, as it is constituted today, wasn’t the APC the founding fathers sold to Nigerians both in 2015 and 2023.


Lukman contended that with a garrison brand of progressive politics being played with Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje at the helm of affairs of the party, problems of political divisions in the country will be entrenched.


He noted: “The strategy of APC in Rivers State for 2027 will be to further fragment the people of the state. Rather than working to unite political leaders in Rivers State, based on which APC being an envisioned progressive party will be seeking to unite Chief Amaechi and Barr. Wike to be members of APC, President Asiwaju Tinubu’s garrison politics will only seek to take advantage of the current division between Chief Amaechi and Barr. Wike.


“In addition, Barr. Wike will have to incur the political cost of separating from his political godson, Chief Fubara. Even if Chief Fubara achieved all that needs to be achieved as Governor of Rivers State, President Asiwaju Tinubu’s garrison politics will emasculate him.


“For all these to be imagined under the leadership of President Asiwaju Tinubu, who is regarded to be a progressive politician and a descendant of Chief Awolowo will make Chief Awolowo to turn in his grave. Even Chief M. K. O Abiola have difficulty relating with many of the political decisions taken by President Asiwaju Tinubu in the last six months.


“At this rate, President Asiwaju Tinubu is practically pushing Nigerians to bid bye bye to progressive politics. With such reality, it simply means, the structures of APC in FCT will also be dissolved to produce new APC leaders at all levels of the party who will be loyal to Barr. Wike.


“And any state where APC is led by people who might have opposed President Asiwaju Tinubu will similarly be dissolved. Once the circle of imposing stooges as APC leaders at all levels is completed, which started with imposing Dr. Ganduje as National Chairman, the next level of imposition will spread to all other democratic institutions to guarantee the supremacy of garrison politics, which will then affirm all the political choices of APC under the leadership of President Asiwaju Tinubu, whatever that means.”


Continuing, he argued: “Something must be done urgently to arrest the current drift towards garrison politics in the name of progressive politics. It is either APC leaders take the needed steps to call both Dr. Ganduje, the APC NWC and President Asiwaju Tinubu to order by restoring constitutional order and returning the party to its founding vision of progressive politics, which should be about unity of party leaders and Nigerians, or the party can as well declare an end to progressive politics in Nigeria.


” So long as the decision of the NWC to dissolve all party executives in Rivers State at all levels is allowed to stand, it simply means that anyone who is alleged to have worked against President Asiwaju Tinubu during the 2023 elections is expelled from the party.


“With such declaration, the culture of imposition of candidates at all levels will take over APC. Consequently, elections will not be about the votes of citizens. Winners in elections will only be produced through rigging, vote buying and other manipulative strategies.


“The earlier every genuine APC leader come to terms with this new reality and begin the process of mobilisation both within the party and at wider levels of national political mobilisation, the better for the survival of democracy in country. A stitch in time, saves nine!”


NCAA suspends all wet lease aircraft under United Nigeria Airlines

Welcome!!!

NCAA suspends all wet lease aircraft under United Nigeria Airlines




Few hours after one of the aircraft of United Nigeria Airlines (UNA), diverted to Asaba International Airport on Sunday, rather than the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), has suspended all the wet-leased aircraft under the airline.

A source close to NCAA, confided in Nairametrcs on Monday that the apex civil aviation regulatory body took the decision on Monday via a letter communicated to the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the airline.

Immediate suspension

According to the source, all the wet-leased aircraft in the operations of the airline would remain suspended pending the outcome of an investigation on the Sunday incident, involving one of the wet-leased aircraft in the fleet of the airline.

It was gathered that immediately the incident gained traction on social media on Sunday, the Director-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Capt. Musa Nuhu called an emergency meeting of the agency, where it was resolved that the excuse given by the airline was not tenable to the authority.

Besides, our correspondent further gathered that the report obtained from the Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs) of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), contravened the claim of the airline on poor weather situation in Abuja as at the time of the diversion.
No fewer than two wet-leased Airbus A320-200 aircraft are in the fleet of United Nigeria Airlines.

Wet-leased arrangement

A wet-leased is a leasing arrangement whereby one airline (the lessor) provides an aircraft, complete crew, maintenance, and insurance (ACMI) to another airline or other type of business acting as a broker of air travel (the lessee), which pays by hours operated.
Also, at times, the cabin crew may be indigenous people.

The source said: “NCAA has suspended all the wet lease aircraft in the operations of United Nigeria Airlines. The excuse they provided to us that the diversion to Asaba was due to poor weather in Abuja was not acceptable to us. So, we have to take the big step by suspending all the aircraft that are wet leased in their fleet.

“The aircraft will remain suspended until after investigation. We can’t allow this to happen. The fact is that their crews are foreigners and they are not familiar with Nigeria, which the airline ought to have done. So, we are suspending them until after the investigation.”

Diversion to Asaba

Recalled that United Nigeria Airlines flight NUA 0504, operating from the Murtala Muhammed Airport two (MMA2) in Lagos enroute Abuja on Sunday, diverted to the Asaba International Airport.

The airline in a statement by Achilleus-Chud Uchegbu, Head, Corporate Communications, had attributed the diversion to poor destination weather.

But, aviation experts, nullified this claim, saying that weather reports are released to pilots or airlines every 30 minutes.

The airline maintained that at all material time, the pilot of the aircraft was aware of the temporary diversion and was properly briefed.

However, a wrong announcement was made by the cabin crew upon landing safely in Asaba, creating confusion among the passengers, the airline purported.

The statement added: “Meanwhile, the aircraft has landed safely in Abuja following improvement on destination weather.

“United Nigeria Airlines remains committed to ensuring the safety of its passengers at all times.”
Delivery of wet leased A320 aircraft
United Nigeria Airlines  had last month taken a delivery of a wet lease A320-200 from Bulgaria’s Fly2Sky (F6, Sofia).

The air aircraft is expected to be in the fleet of the airline till March 31, 2024, to boost domestic capacity during the IATA winter season.

Under the contract, LZ-FSA (msn 4247) will be based in Nigeria and operate domestic routes, Fly2Sky announced in a statement.

“We are excited to bring our Airbus A320 LZ-FSA to the heart of Nigeria and provide winter operations support for United Nigeria Airlines. This collaboration is not only an expansion of our business but is also about strengthening ties with our partners in the African continent,” commented Fly2Sky’s chief commercial officer, Aleksandrs Gusevs.

FOREPLAY In Any Marriage

Welcome!!!

FOREPLAY  In Any Marriage Turning up the heat...🔥

Foreplay is everything that gets you in the mood for sexual intercourse… Kissing is foreplay. Flirting and intimate conversations are foreplay.
So is oral sex. Touching, hugging, playing games – almost everything that's sexual, except for penetrative sex, can be described as foreplay.
In fact, the word 'foreplay' is misleading, because it suggests that sexual intercourse is the main dish on the menu and the build-up is just the starter.


Force Play



Not true! Foreplay is sex. You can enjoy it on its own, and it doesn't have to lead to intercourse. Foreplay is equally important as intercourse, and sometimes even more so. Women don't usually enjoy sexual intercourse without some foreplay first. It also makes it much more enjoyable for men.

Almost anything you do with your partner that feels sexy is a kind of foreplay, but here are some of the most common ones:

1. Talking sexy...

Flirting can be very sexy, and it doesn't have to lead to anything. Being in a relationship doesn't mean you can't still flirt with your partner, and take it further by talking while you're kissing and touching each other. Tell them what you like, what you want them to do, what you'd like to do to them. Use your imagination! Language can build intimacy as much as touch.

2. Undressing...

Don't be in a hurry to get naked. Undressing in front of your partner can be a big turn-on for both of you – the slower the better. Or enjoy taking your partner's clothes off and showing them how much you love their body.

3. Touching and caressing...

You can enjoy the feeling of your partner's body, whether or not you've got your clothes on. Take it slowly and make it playful.

4. Finding the sensitive spots...
Explore your partner's body, and not just the obvious places. Everyone's different, so you can enjoy finding out what works for your partner as you touch and kiss your way around their body. Some people have very sensitive ears; others love it when you kiss their neck or their
