The singer, who was ordained as a priest in 1999, has now changed her name to Shuhada' Davitt.

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has commended the Mr Voiceover Mentorship Initiative team for their activities geared towards job creation and empowerment.

Osinbajo stated this during his visit to Benin City in Edo State.

Godwin Obaseki, Governor of Edo State, who was present with Osinbajo at the Edo State government house applauded the team of students, Ifeanyi Dickins, Emmanuel Oluwasayomi Ahmadu, Ayodele Ayodeji, Akomolafe Jesutomi, Andrew Nwuzurike, and others for thinking out of the box on finding solutions to environmental pollution.

The initiative is aimed at creating jobs by converting waste nylon wrappers into creative paintings, as well as collage artworks for portrait, furniture design, interior decoration, monument and others.

The vice-president took one of the creative paintings for further review at the Aso Rock Villa, which he said would be shown to President Muhammadu Buhari.

In another development, Vice Chancellor of the University of Benin, Professor Faraday Orunwense and Dean of Arts, Professor Eddy Erhagbe, also celebrated the students for portraying the school in good light.

In an interview with our correspondent, the students spoke about their passion for empowering Nigerian students and unemployed youth by creating avenues for talent discovery and development leading to sustainable assets needed to tackle unemployment, as well as impact the lives of the physically challenged, orphans and internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Members of the team lauded the commitment of President Muhammadu Buhari for creating jobs and empowering youth. They pledged their unflinching commitment to the present administration's job creation initiative for youth empowerment through creative skills geared towards creating jobs and making a lasting impact in Nigeria and beyond.

Speaking further, they stressed the need for the government to support their innovative skills, thereby creating an enabling platform for more innovative graduates and youth to contribute their problems-solving ideas and expertise to bring substantial growth to the country.

Mr Voiceover Mentorship Initiative team consists mostly of students of the University of Benin, who recently bagged double international award recognition as an 'Organization Making a Difference in West Africa' and 'Student Brand Of The Year West Africa' on West Africa Citizens Awards 2018, for their sustainable impact on student/youth development programme with the theme: 'Talent Discovery and Development, A Panacea to Solving Unemployment Menace in Nigeria and by Extension Africa.

The vision of the initiative is to create a template for those in government to understand the dimensions of empowerment and job creation for the unemployed youth and graduates.

The group also noted the need to empower youth and unemployed graduates based on the talents or skills they have to offer the society or the talent/skill they wish to be trained in.

Peter Obi, vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said the fight against corruption should go beyond "shouting about it".

Obi, who affirmed that corruption "kills entrepreneurship, professionalism and hard work", highlighted some of his achievements when he was Governor of Anambra State.

He stated this in an interview with NAN in Abuja.

His words: “We should look at the effect of corruption and go on to deal with it in the way it should. It is important that everybody becomes part of those trying to stop it, because it kills three things that try to make society work.

“It kills entrepreneurship, professionalism and hard work; it is not about shouting about it, but dealing with it."

In his remarks on Nigeria's rating by the World Economic Forum, the former Governor said Nigeria could perform better with focus on the various key indicators.

“I have been a Governor, and I know how to change these things. We took education from being number 24 to number 21. So, you don’t say you are doing it; you need to show empirical evidence where it is done and done right. If you do the right things, you get the right results; it is simple.

“We need to get it better; the rating now is not where we should be. Nigeria is too important; it is the main driver of the continent. We must get it right and all we need is good leadership."

In her address, Elsie Kanza, Head of Africa, World Economic Forum, said: “Based on the different indicators, it is important to note that Africa is still lagging behind the rest of the world.

“So, it is not just Nigeria; everyone needs to improve so that the continent has a higher footing."

Jaafar Jaafar, Publisher of Daily Nigerian newspaper, has revealed that Abdullahi Ganduje, Governor of Kano State, had been collecting kickbacks from contractors in the state for a long time.

Jaafar made the disclosure during an investigative hearing on Thursday.

A video of Ganduje collecting money from a person purported to be a contractor had been published by Daily Nigerian, and Jaafar had been summoned by the House to a hearing on the matter. See Also Corruption EXTRA: Kano Assembly To Investigate 'Video Cliffs' Of Governor Ganduje 0 Comments 6 Days Ago

In his presentation on Thursday, the publisher maintained that Ganduje had been under investigation for more than two years, when he got a hint from his contractor-friend that the governor received amounts ranging between 15 to 25 per cent of contract funds for every project executed in the state.

He said: “More than two years ago, a contractor-friend of mine complained to me that the Governor had been receiving kickbacks, ranging from 15 to 25 per cent, for every project executed in the state from contractors.

“We then agreed to plant spy cameras on his kaftan lapel so that he can capture the brazen act in hard evidence.”

Jaafar maintained that the contractor who was used to trap the Governor captured at least 15 clips, nine of which fully showed the Governor’s face, body and hands collecting bundles of dollars.

He also stated that the video was released to public domain, and its authenticity was verified, adding that it was further proven genuine by other organizations.

“In the case of the video clips in question, our in-house technical expert, the editor-in-chief and editorial adviser certified that the videos were original and not doctored contents," he said.

“Experts from Amnesty International Nigeria, BBC and Premium Times also watched the clips and certified their authenticity before we went to press."

Jaafar maintained that his news platform is willing to share the video without any form of editing to assist the committee in its investigation.

On October 14, 2018, Daily Nigerian published a video showing Ganduje receiving money from a contractor in foreign currency.

The video also showed him tucking these monies under his outfit, as well as putting them inside an envelope.

The South East Renewal Group (SERG) has denied berating Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), over his position on the 2019 general election, stating that the group neither castigated Igbo leaders nor endorsed statements credited the IPOB leader.

One Charles Mbani, who had claimed to be the National President of SERG, had issued a statement on October 22, 2018, promising to "physically deliver him to the nearest police station for onward transportation to appear in court" if he ever sets foot on the country.

However, in a statement issued in Abuja and made available to SaharaReporters, Chief Willy Ezugwu, Convener and National Coordinator of the SERG, said Mbani is not known to the group.

He said: “For avoidance of doubt, the SERG has no such position as 'National President' and we have no member by the name Charles Mbani.

“As a group, we have never joined issues with Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB. The statement credited to the said imaginary Charles Mbani as published some media houses, including Sahara Reporters, is not from the South East Revival Group and we totally dissociate ourselves from the statement.

“Even though our group will not and can never support any form of lawless behaviour or threat to the peaceful coexistence.

“The issues surrounding the disappearance and alleged reappearance of Nnamdi Kanu are a legal issue, which we have refrained to interfere with. Therefore we never promised to 'physically deliver him to the nearest police station for onward transportation to appear in court if he ever sets foot upon the country' as security agencies in the country knows their job.

“The said Charles Mbani is fake and fictitious. We therefore urge the media to disregard the source of the story as harbinger of fake news."

Last night, I got so very hysterical about this news; I could not explain the set of emotions that enveloped me. Should I call it joy or pride? Maybe it's even a feeling of doubt and deceit. I seriously can not say till now. I am still laughing uncontrollably.

A few friends were with me, and those online reading through my Whasapp status were already teasing and tagging me a 'millionaire' — money-don-come, where's-my-share jokes all were coming to play.

If seven of us could be physically present to lay our lives down for the nation, (I must recognize all the other partners in this struggle who carried out the #ResumeOrResign protests worldwide - Lagos, UK, US) this has shown that when you dare to struggle, you dare to win.

The rulling gave me only one thing! IT GAVE ME VALIDATION THAT I DID THE RIGHT THING AND I AM STILL ON THE RIGHT COURSE TO LIVING A FULFILLING LIFE. Joining/starting the #OurMumuDonDo movement as a pioneer member came with a lot of fights against many 'opinions', family, friend, religious, societal, relationship, business and personal pressures. I went against most of these 'authorities' and focused on my set of values to please none but the very essence of living.

I remember my mum and siblings, they were scared and very clear about their message — COME BACK HOME! 

A one-week journey turned to two months, Akinsika Bukola would chat me till late midnight begging and crying that I should COME BACK HOME! (her boss kept pressing her with negatives at work about the personalities in the movement that I was protesting with).

Friends and pals of the DEFUTURES also were keen to ensure I CAME BACK HOME! Some older friends who never reached out to me in years, about half a decade, called too. Sogbanmu Oluseyi, he advised me to be careful and said also said COME BACK HOME! BUT I DID NOT LISTEN, we were just set and 'ready to die' (At some point, I wrote a goodbye note, thinking I would die in the struggle.).

After the attack by the Nigeria Police, the issue got escalated and Aljazeera was focused on us; artistes started coming on board, Jim Iyke was present, Daddy Showkey was calling but couldn't make it, Aisha Yesufu of BBOG joined, Oby Ezekwezili too was on the call with us, I think she was ill or some important engagement held her down. Many influential people started reaching us and promising to join as the Internet was agog that we trended with 'Charly Boy' and 'Wuse Market' after the second attack by Buhari apologists at Wuse market — that's another story for another day.

To us, THE REVOLUTION to save Nigeria has started. Any government who promises us anything must do it or we protest. The Shi'ites joined us. They were already against the Buhari government because of the massacre of their people by the military and the unlawful arrest of their leader Elzakzaky who is still in detention against court rulings.

A President who said he won't engage in medical tourism should not. We were to let them know that no form of promises should be made as lip service, the Buhari-led APC government as the case study!

Many Nigerians die daily from lack of basic health facilities in the country, yet the leader and even family gets the best medical attention in UK and Germany... So sad! So, after the attack, (Area Fada Charly Boy fainted, remember) a 67 years old man still fighting for a better country. These days, those in their 30s blindly support those who hold them in perpetual 'slavery' and servitude of the highest order; they support those who have made their source of survival from crumbs, leftovers and, to put straight, begging, gambling, betting and fraud a means of living.

The average 30-year-old Nigerian and above is out there living a life of uncertainty, whereas his counterparts in better climes are policy makers, industry leads, government heads and workers in technology, arts, sciences and many more fields; inventions here remain only on Facebook and Instagram. Yet, these youth can't see that the time to fight is just now!

Raise your voices, challenge them, get knowledge, win souls and unite as a living set of disenfranchised, oppressed, angry positive change seekers and vote out ALL THE OLD BAD GUYS who have led us to where we are right now in this country! This is the Nigeria of their dreams; this is all they could create. They should ALL leave (we should send them packing).

And to those who are asking 'how far' about the N50million. Should I say you should go have your own attack from the Nigeria Police, or tell you the truth that the Police will not pay? In what way has this government recognised court rulings and shown respect to human rights? Maybe 20%. I laugh!

The earlier the better for us to know that N50million is not enough to buy the lives we put at stake during the protests and that the ealier we all rise to challenge the government to be accountable and true to us is the real victory... N50 million will not bring back the lives of my Chibok girls, Dapchi girls, IPOB sisters, Python Dance and Crocodile Smile deaths; it won't bring back those who died of bad road accidents or singer NoMoreLoss (and many) who died of 'common' Malaria; N50 million won't make the lives of the Almajiri boys wholesome, the girls with VVF (Vestico Vagina Fistula) won't be whole too; it won't stop Nigeria from being the POVERTY CAPITAL of the world or make 8.6 million out-of-school youth educated or reduce the unemployment rate from 61.6% (7.9 million youths) to a barest minimum.

Let Buhari respect human rights and stop 'paying' fines. If I had died, I won't be here to rant! We better rise now or regret in future. I can't type much, for I am angry and sad! Dare To Struggle, dare to win! Let's Do This!
