The Federal Government has asked Nigerians to raise funds for the treatment of those who sustained injuries when bandits attacked a train heading to Kaduna State from the FCT. NAIJALOADED recalls that the bloodthirsty bandits gunned down at least nine persons, while many others sustained different degrees of injuries during the attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train. The incident has triggered reactions since Monday, as Nigerians lament the level of insecurity ravaging the nation at the moment. The Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, who spoke when he visited the victims who are being treated at the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital in Kaduna on Wednesday, revealed that the army had not charged the patients a dime. Amaechi asked Nigerians to liaise with the hospital to contribute money as some of the patients who have bullets in their body may need surgery. He said, “They said they have only seven (patients) left and the rest have been discharged. The ministry, and I thin...

The Plateau State chapter of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has set up a seven-member reconciliatory committee to help reconcile aggrieved members ahead of the 2023 general elections. The party has also set up a seven-member disciplinary committee to help address issues of indiscipline that may arise in the party within the said period. Chairman of PDP in the state, Hon. Chris Hassan, while inaugurating the two committees at the State Secretariat of the party in Jos, said “to whom much is given, much is expected”. Hassan said, “The reconciliatory committee is to reconcile those who want to be reconciled; because there are people who do not want reconciliation because the ruling party are giving them money. “So, for them, if reconciliation is achieved, that conduit pipe from the government of the day will cease.” On the disciplinary committee, the chairman said, “For the disciplinary committee, it will take care of all disciplinary cases that will arise in ...

Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has identified two terrorists in Nigeria. Omokri alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari and bandits are terrorists in Nigeria. He made the claim while berating Buhari over the inability to protect the Abuja-Kaduna rail. The socio-political activist wondered why Buhari who has 10 presidential jets, with other vehicles worth over N1 billion, can’t acquire a bomb detector for the Abuja-Kaduna rail six months after it was first bombed. In a tweet, Omokri wrote: “Buhari has 10 presidential jets and more than 10 Mercedes Benzes worth over ₦1 billion. Yet, he can’t provide even one bomb detector for the Abuja-Kaduna rail, 6 months after it was first bombed on October 22, 2022. Nigeria has 2 terrorists. Buhari and the bandits!” On Monday, gunmen believed to be bandits had attacked a Kaduna-bound train. The bandits bombed a rail line between the Katari and Rijani train station along the Kaduna-Abuja route. The post Buhari,...

ThE President of the African Development Bank Group, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, says hunger has become a way of life in many African countries. He said this in a statement he wrote, which was published on the AfDB’s website on Tuesday. Adesina said, “Africa’s food systems are failing to deliver diets that are healthy, affordable, secure, and safe for vast swathes of its population. For many in Africa, persistent food shortages mean that they struggle to put food on the table — hunger has become a way of life. “Almost 250 million men, women, and children across the continent go on an empty stomach from dawn to dusk.” He called for the need to invest in sustainable, healthy diets to ensure the advancement of the health and well-being of Africans. “For too long, African countries have failed to make the investments necessary to provide sustainable, healthy diets for their citizens. We cannot go on in this way. Better nutrition in African countries is the foundation to advance health an...

Barcelona could part ways with at least eight players in the summer transfer window, AS reports. The LaLiga side has improved considerably since Xavi Hernandez replaced Ronald Koeman. Xavi brought in Adama Traore, Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the January window and they have all made immediate impact. There is expected to be a high turnover of players at the end as Xavi and Barca look to put together a squad capable of challenging for trophies in the long term. For that to be achieved, sales will have to be made, and the Catalans are prepared to let eight players depart Camp Nou ahead of 2022/2023. Neto, Sergi Roberto, Clement Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti, Oscar Mingueza, Riqui Puig, Martin Braithwaite and Luuk de Jong are all said to feature on that list. Memphis Depay, whose current deal expires in 2023, may also leave, but that depends on whether Barcelona view the Dutch forward as a long-term option. The post JUST IN!! 8 Players To Leave Barcelona This Summer a...

Ghana national team coach, Otto Addo has boasted that his strikers are good enough to score goals against Nigeria’s Super Eagles when both nations lock horns again on Tuesday for a place in Qatar 2022. It is Nigeria’s turn to host Ghana at the National Stadium in Abuja, after the reverse fixture ended 0-0 in Kumasi last week. Ghana has found it difficult scoring goals of late, with just three goals in their last four competitive matches. Their goalscoring problems were glaring in the first leg in Kumasi , as they failed to convert the few chances that came their way. But Addo, who addressed the press on the arrival of his team to Abuja on Monday, assured that it would be a different ball game in Abuja. “Our attackers can score, you will see…” He said when asked if he was worried about the situation. “I think we had some chances, some situations where the last pass was missing and if we improve that, you’ll see us scoring, but nobody knows,” he added.

The immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, has explained why he tried to leave Nigeria on March 17, the same day he handed over to his successor, Chukwuma Soludo. Mr Obiano was intercepted by law enforcement at the airport in Lagos as he tried to board a flight to the United States. That development triggered speculations that the former governor tried to evade arrest and possible prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which had in late 2021 placed him on its watchlist. But speaking exclusively to PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday, Mr Obiano, through his lawyer, Patrick Ikwueto (a Senior Advocate of Nigeria), said he was not fleeing Nigeria. He said he was rather hurrying to keep a doctor’s appointment to treat a “semi fatal condition”. “He was not running away,” Mr Ikwueto said. “Why will he run away when his family is here and he has a lot to do here? The fact is that he (Obiano) has a medical condition for which he had a prior appointment to see ...

Not everyone who enjoys music is a stan on Twitter always talking about their faves. But the ultimate characteristic of a real fan is embedded in the makeup of our individual playlists. That is, what songs do you play when you’re alone? What songs do you have on your phone? What songs can’t you delete no matter what happens? And really, that’s what makes us fans. It doesn’t matter if you don’t even go to their concerts or if you’re not out every Sunday preaching their gospel on the streets of Twitter. Anyone who claims to be a fan of a particular artist but doesn’t have such artist’s songs on their devices is just a fake and that’s just the truth. And you can tell what kind of a person someone is by the songs they keep on their phones. I, for one, have most of Olamide ‘s old albums on my phone and no matter how much I need space, I ain’t deleting any of it. But that’s still not the artist with the most songs on any of my devices. That prize goes to Brymo , a guy who I think I have...

Workers in some states of the federation are currently groaning under hardship occasioned by salary cuts and rationed salaries amid inflation and general economic hardship in the country. Daily Trust findings revealed that the most heavily hit are teachers and workers at the local governments. The pay cut is biting hard on the workers even as transportation fare has gone up and purchasing power of their earning dwindle amid biting inflation occasioned by continued fall of Naira at the exchange market. In Kano, civil servants and political appointees suffered cuts in their February salaries with many of them spoken to by Daily Trust admitting that the cut had further plunged them into untold hardship, especially with the increasing cost of almost all commodities in the country. The state’s chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) had kicked against the slash in February salaries before payment began with its Chairman, Kabiru Ado Minjibir, revealing that the labour leaders were t...

I saw a thief in action two days ago. It happened at the main gate of a 4-Star hotel called BEGONIA hotel in Oyo town. The hotel is located along Oyo-Ibadan expressway. About 8:20 pm that day, I was passing by the main gate of the said hotel when a guy standing in front of the gate signalled to me for a ride; I’m into Okada riding business. The street was without any passerby at the time except me, who was loitering to pick up passengers. The guy asked me to wait and he quickly went back into the hotel and resurfaced about 3 seconds later with a loaded 50 litres jerrican probably filled with diesel or engine oil. He quickly sat on my bike, dragged the jerrican, and placed it on the passenger’s foot rack. “Speed off in this direction”, he shouted at me without telling me his destination let alone giving me the chance to negotiate the price for the journey. “To where?” I asked. “Express”, he shouted at me again with the air of mounting irascibility. That ‘Express’ he mentioned is...

President Muhammadu Buhari has remarked that the All Progressives Congress (APC) should not sell its tickets to the highest bidder or force candidates on the party ahead of the general elections in 2023. Following the withdrawal of six other candidates from the competition, the President’s chosen candidate, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, was elected national chairman of the APC.

To me, I consider His act of dying and rising again from the death His greatest miracle. Prior to that, He had been raising people from the death. He decided to show to the world that He could conquer death, so He allowed Himself to be crucified, lost all His blood which is necessary for life, yet He resurrected and live without any blood to show to the world that there’s nothing He cannot do. He conquered death by dying and rising again. The blood He shed is still available somewhere in the universe to wash the sins of people and to protect people. Because in the old testament time in Israel, blood of animals was used to wash sins and to protect people. So Jesus Christ Himself decided to provide a more perfect blood by providing His own blood During the final supper with His disciples, He gave them bread and wine which He called His body and blood. So He was the perfect sacrifice. Before then, the body and blood of animals were used for sacrifice while parts of the body was th...

Omah Lay has actually done pretty well for himself in these past two years. Since his sensational debut in 2020 with the iconic “ Get Layd ” EP, the guy has been on a roll.

Only a few of his peers come close to him when it comes to achievements, and that’s why the “ Bad Influence ” singer’s forthcoming debut album is one of the most anticipated albums in recent time.

  Super Eagles interim coach, Augustine has insisted that a referee cost his move to play in England during his career as a football player. Eguavoen said this while giving his verdict on the penalty incident during Nigeria’s 2022 FIFA World Cup playoff first leg against the Black Stars of Ghana at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, on Friday night. He was careful not to criticize the referee’s decision during the penalty incident involving two of his players and Black Stars’ player, Iddrisu Baba, adding that past incident cost him a West Brom move. Recall that a year before the 1994 World Cup, Eguavoen had agreed to terms to join West Brom, but the deal was not completed because he was suspended for six months after falling out with a referee in Belgium. However, during the second half of the match in Kumasi, Moroccan referee, Redouane Jiyed awarded a penalty after a handball inside the box by the Mallorca midfielder from Oghenekaro Etebo’s effort. Jiyed, however, changed his ...

As a Nigerian, you would have heard this phrase a number of times, “Yoruba people love to party” . They go all out to celebrate anything worth celebrating, be it wedding ceremonies, birthdays, housewarming, retirement, funerals of the old and aged, and even graduations.
