Nigerians In London Protest Fulani Herdsmen Killings In Enugu State

Nigerians living in the United Kingdom staged a protest at the Westminster Parliament building in London to condemn the recent wave of killings carried out by Fulani herdsmen and to bring global attention to the conflict.

The protest came two weeks after herdsmen attacked an Enugu State community, killing at least 48 people.
According to Chidi Ughonu, the coordinator of the London Protest Against Fulani Herdsmen, the group had planned protests in the United States, Canada, and cities across Europe.
The protesters numbering in the hundreds carried Nigerian flags and placards with slogans reading “Buhari – Stop the Massacre” and “Stop Bloodthirsty Fulani Herdsmen Now.”
It was gathered that several of the protesters were members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a Biafran separatist group. However, several members of IB lined up behind the Nigerian flag to protest the Fulani herdsmen killing apparently to forge a common front with other Nigerians who might be suspicious of their agenda.
The increase in violence committed by the herdsmen has sparked outrage among Nigerians across the world, with protesters calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to take action against the attackers. In response to the public outcry, the president has announced that he ordered all Nigerian security agencies to “deal decisively” with the attackers.

Learning how to cook -Oha Soup

Hey guys or should I say ladies, because this is strictly for my ladies in the house. Oh well, let’s not be stingy, we do not mind sharing with our bachelors too.
So I know some of my ladies out there look all hot, dressed up in wonderful colors and clothing and have all that sugar and spice in the bedroom but know nothing about kitchen spices. You know all the 5star Chinese restaurants in town and can locate them faster than Google map but cannot turn meals from your 1star kitchen to a 10star one. I know I sound really mean but the old saying “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” still stands and I know it sounds so cliché but it stays valid.


Thankfully, we have social media to the rescue, to help us in various ways even in the kitchen too without having to air our dirty laundries in public.



Today’s first cooking lesson will be on the Igbo delicacy OHA SOUP, eaten by most people in the east and south east and loved by many from diverse cultures.


What you need

Meats (whatever kind)
Stock fish
Dried fish
Ogiri (Igbo iru)
Egusi
Achi(optional)
soup cocoyam
Black pepper
Oha leaves
Crayfish
Palm oil(3 cooking spoons)
Seasoning
Salt




How to prepare

Wash and boil your meat till it’s a bit tender, then add your stock fish and dried fish. Cook till a bit soft.


For those using the cooking cocoyam for thickening, when buying make sure it is cocoyam used specifically for soup cooking. Wash and boil the cocoyam till soft, while it Is still hot, drag out the back using your hands and pound immediately into a smooth consistency.


Take out the meat, stock fish and dried fish and place the stock (water of the meat) on the fire.


When it starts boiling, pour your palm oil into the stock and allow to cook for 5 minutes.


Pour your crayfish and black pepper and stir.
If you are using achi, take a little of the stock on the fire and add to the achi in a bowl; then stir till it is smooth and pour back into the pot and stir again.


Add your seasoning and please taste first before adding salt.

Wash your oha leaves clean (the oha leaves should be shreddedwith your fingers not sliced with a knife).

Add the oha leaves to the stock, and then add your stock fish, dried fish and meat.
Cover and leave to boil for about 5 minutes.
Your oha soup is ready to be served. Tastes better with fufu but can also go with eba, pounded yam, semovita and wheat.


So ladies, no more excuses on my man eats out a lot or he doesn’t eat my food at all or he complains about too much salt in my cooking and you sticking to one type of food always. Stop being his Google map to the restaurants; let eat outs be totally his idea, he’d be fine with his GPS.


Be diverse in your choice of cooking; go put this to test and work your way to his heart NOW!!

Alibaba says no to grazing grounds

Nigerian comedian Atunyota Alleluya Akporobome popularly known as Alibaba has added his voice to the controversy over granting grazing grounds in different parts of the country to Fulani herdsmen for their cattle.
Alibaba posted a fingerprint on Instagram citing that humans are different but problems stem from people forcing others to be like them. He related the analogy to the herdsmen who have been rampaging in several communities in the country over grazing rights.
‘I either let you to graze all over my livelihood or you go craze and destroy my livelihood and even kill all those I am working to keep alive,’ he wrote in his post.
‘Then I am beginning to hear that I should find a way to tolerate your excesses because you, in the process of looking for your livelihood, have run out of grazing land where you came from. I should now vacate my own territory where I am also trying to earn a living to allow you earn a living. And this matter is so serious that NASS of the land wants to tolerate the excesses by giving them a FED approval that will mark out some areas for grazing. Let me ask one stupid question, when there was oil spillage and the people in the Niger Delta did not have a place to fish for a living, did NASS move a motion to creating fishing waters for the fishermen? Or are Herdsmen better than Fishermen?
‘Oh let me ask another question, when these same fishermen could not fish or farm, did NASS move to secure their lives? Or are some people just more important than others? Much as we all have been brought up to tolerate one another, let us keep it that way. In my community, #agbarhaotor , in Ughelli North, Delta State, there are over 40 flow stations scattered… In short, NO to grazing grounds. And that is that!’

Buhari returns 2016 budget to National Assembly

President Buhari has reportedly returned the 2016 budget to the National Assembly. According to Vanguard, the decision to return the budget may not be unconnected with some discrepancies in the figure Buhari noticed in the reviewed budget documents sent to him by the Assembly members.
The re-worked budget was reportedly sent to Buhari in the early hours of today at about 1: 15am but was returned to the National Assembly at about 12.00 noon.
A source in the presidency who spoke to Vanguard said
“The budget got to the State House at about 1.10am and Mr. President went through it early this morning and still had some issues with some of the figures. I can not tell you exactly what it was but I think the insertions made by the lawmakers were not significantly altered. You know the lawmakers had moved some allocations for key projects that are dear to the president to other areas especially to their constituency projects. Of course, they have changed some but I believe Mr. President is not satisfied with the reconciliation they made. I think this is one of the reasons why it was returned. I can assure you, Mr. President is desirous to sign the budget because he is aware and has acknowledged that Nigerians are going through hardship. He is also concerned so if the budget is cleaned up this night and sent to him, he will sign it as soon as possible. That I know very well”.

NANS Gives Education Minister Ultimatum to Reinstate 13 Sacked VCs

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has given the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, 14-day ultimatum to reinstate the 13 Vice Chancellors who were wrongfully sacked by the federal government in February.
National President of NANS, Comrade Tijani Usman Shehu, in a letter to the minister, dated April 27, 2016, explained that the ultimatum became necessary following the failure of the minister to take advantage of the window of opportunities provided by Nigerian students to resolve the issue amicably.
In the letter, which was entitled, “NANS Demands Immediate Reinstatement of the Vice Chancellors of 13 Federal Universities Within Fourteen Days,” the students described the refusal of the minister to reinstate the sacked Vice Chancellors as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari as nothing but, “A bold-faced attempt to politicise our Universities and arrest academic progression by the jugular and we have vowed to stiffly resist this.”
Describing the sack of the 13 Vice Chancellors as unilateral and unconstitutional, the students noted that the action is unhealthy for the Nigerian educational system
