So therefore, I have decided to compare his government with that of Borno State, which is the epicenter of insecurity in Nigeria, and how both governors are tackling insecurity. Our people need to understand that poor leadership leads to insecurity. The quality of governance is central to any state’s ability to maintain order and bring peace to its territory. The

Tinubu: Why People Should Stop Talking About Muslim-Muslim Ticket -Deji Adeyanju News Hub Creator Jul 21, 2022 11:02 PM Since the APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu declared Kashim Shattima as the party’s vice presidential candidate, various organisations and people have expressed conflicting perspectives. While many have defended and justified the choice, others, including many APC members and Mr. Tinubu’s close colleagues, have spoken out against it. Speaking on the Muslim-Muslim ticket, Deji Adeyanju, a human rights activist, has encouraged Nigerians to stop talking about Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket, claiming that the more the matter is being raised, the more Nigerians indirectly campaign for Tinubu, making him more popular in the country’s north. He further warned that debating the Muslim-Muslim ticket would cause some Nigerians (Muslims) to feel that it was a campaign against their faith. He remarked, “People should stop addressing the Muslim-Muslim issue before some people assume it is a against their religion. It’s sufficient. I already made my point. The more we talk about it, the more we campaign for Tinubu up North.” He also asked Nigerian pastors and priests to cease discussing the same faith ticket. “I am pretty familiar with politics and politicians. Not everything may be spoken on social media, but a word from the wise is enough. Pastors around the country should cease preaching about the same faith ticket and instead do whatever they choose on Election Day.” From Opera News Content created and supplied by News Hub Creator .

Breaking: Coalition of Bishops, Pastors storm Shettima’s unveiling as Tinubu’s running mate Blueprint Jul 20, 2022 12:08 PM Contrary to the position of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), a coalition of Bishops and some pastors have arrived at the Musa Yar’adu centre, venue of the official unveiling of Senator Kashim Shettima as the vice presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The Bishops in their numbers were seen dressed in their cassock. CAN had rejected Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC. The Christian body Tuesday issued an official statement to reject selection of Kashim Shettima as the running mate to Bola Ahmed Tinubu. One of the Bishops who pleaded anonymity told Blueprint correspondent that they were at the event to declare their support for Tinubu-Shettima presidential ticket. Presidential candidate of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the leadership of the APC led by Senator Abdullahi Adamu and several other party leaders are expected at the event. Meanwhile, the security situation in and around the venue is tight with mammoth crowd of supporters and praise singers have beiseged the venue, making it difficult for invited guests and Journalists to gain entrance.

Magnus Abe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a member of the committee that recommended the former Governor of Borno State, Senator Kashim Shettima, as the running-mate to the presidential candidate of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said that the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal is on his own. Abe also revealed that the choice of Shettima was based on the recommendation of the committee, adding that there would always be a reaction, no matter the choice made. Abe stated this Thursday night while featuring on ARISE News Channel, where he stated categorically that what would bring unity to the country is not the position of the vice president. He said: “With all due respect to my friend and brother, Lawal, I think that the path he has chosen is his personal path. First of all, the way he talks down in Asiwaju in public every time things are not going the way he likes them to go I considered it very disrespectful.” Asked if Lawal does not have the right to freedom of speech, Abe noted, “Lawal has the freedom of speech as guaranteed in the constitution, but he does not speak as a citizen who is talking as guaranteed by the constitution but speaks as an associate of Asiwaju. That’s what gives prominence to what he’s saying. “If you are speaking as an associate of somebody who you publicly proclaim is your friend, you are his supporter, you are working to make him president, you should show him some respect.” While Abe refused to go into details of the criteria used in recommending Shettima as the most qualified running mate, he said there were several things the committee took into consideration before arriving at the decision. He added: “Anybody who is a student of Nigerian politics understands that in a situation where the presidential candidate has come from a section of the country that is traditionally Christian, you have to choose a running mate from the other section of the country. You have to look at the possibility that it could go either way and that depends not just on religion but on a lot of factors.” Abe explained that what Nigeria needed was a united, prosperous, and economically viable nation, adding that to be able to achieve that, there was a need for a structure that is strong enough to deliver on that. Abe stated: “Everybody is talking that the country is disunited; the country has never been so divided, but we’ll have a Christian vice president. So it is clear that what will bring unity to our country is not the position of the vice president. It is the things that we do and how we manage ourselves moving forward. “The only position in the government is not the position of Vice President, you have other positions, you have Senate President and you just said Babachir Lawal arguing that a Christian cannot be Senate President, but that decision has not been made. “So it is clear that there are other positions that if given would help to bring that sense of unity. It is not only the position of the vice president that will bring unity. So, if a Christian and a Muslim ticket was to guarantee unity, the Nigeria should be very united. So, it is clear that there are other factors that

Tinubu Will Win 2023 Presidential Election – Dimka Leadership Jul 14, 2022 8:45 AM Bola Ahmed Tinubu Former Plateau State governorship aspirant under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) David Victor Dimka has tipped presidential candidate of the APC Bola Ahmed Tinubu to win the 2023 presidential polls. Dimka, an ex-controller of Customs in an interview with newsmen in Jos, said Tinubu is a political colossus that believes in the unity and continuity of Nigeria as a nation. He said going by his political tract records, Tinubu is someone who has what it takes to bring the best for Nigeria, looking at his developmental strides which he said have touched all facets of life across the country. According to Dimka, Tinubu is a goal getter, a dogged fighter and a politician that is stable even under pressure. “If it comes to a political playground, he has what it takes to change the narrative because of his political experience, exposure and connection which he has all over the world,” he stated. On the choice of Muslim running mate by Tinubu, Dimka said he believes in one thing that “if you have a leader look at the leader and his pedigree and not the person of his running mate because deputies are not elected but nominated.” Stressing that politics is a game of numbers, one thing that must be considered is loyalty, tract record of performance in his choice of running mate. Dimka urged Nigerians to look at the achievements of Tinubu in Lagos while serving as governor and how he joined forces with pro-democracy groups in the country to bring about the current democracy into place in Nigeria in 1999 in casting their votes for him in 2023.

: Ganduje Replies Babachir Over Claim On Foundation Independent Jul 13, 2022 3:22 PM Kano State government on Wednesday dismissed the claim attributed to the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, that the Ganduje Foundation, a philanthropic organisation, is being used by the governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to force some Christian faithful to join Islam. A statement issued by the commissioner for information, Malam Muhammad Garba, indicated that the comment was as unjustifiable, and totally false considering that, while there is no compulsion in religion, Islam gave individuals the freedom to choose their own religion, and also provided non-Muslims with considerable economic, cultural and administrative rights. He said there was never a time any Christian or non-believer is forced to embrace Islam by the foundation because it negates the teachings of Islam, but are called to Islam at their wish just as the missionaries go to villages in Kano to invite non-believers to embrace Christianity. Malam Garba said it was unfortunate that at a time when the country need to be united for national development and religious tolerance, a man of Babachir’s calibre, who is highly respected, would spread falsehood without much consideration to his position in the All Progressives Congress (APC) and closed relationship with the party’s flagbearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The commissioner pointed out that going by its activities, the foundation is not faith-based but purely philanthropic in which case, non-Muslims also stand to benefit from the services it renders. He explained that the Ganduje Foundation was set up about 40 years ago and is engaged in philanthropic, humanitarian and charitable activities that included medical, support and assistance to the needy in society, particularly the orphans and the physically challenged, medical outreach to attend to those with diabetes, hypertension, malaria, dental as well as ante-natal and maternal care. Malam Garba added that since its establishment, the foundation has built many schools, and healthcare centres, distributed free school uniforms and instructional materials to new intake in primary schools, and construction of boreholes and mosques. Others include distribution of food items to the orphanage and Muslim communities during Sallah and fasting period, Christian community during Christmas and Easter period, provision of medical assistance to the needy as well as other philanthropic activities. The commissioner stated that available statistics indicate that no fewer than 380, 000 people have benefited from the foundation’s Eye Care Programme which included treatment for cataracts and glaucoma, as well as distribution of medical glasses. He stated that Governor Ganduje always stands for religious harmony in Kano as exemplified by the administration’s creation of the Ministry for Religious Affairs, where the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is a partner and enjoys a good working relationship with the governor as well as the introduction of an Inter-Faith Dialogue that promotes religious harmony between Muslims and Christians in the state. Malam Garba further said that Governor Ganduje’s disposition on religious tolerance informed his administration’s stance on guaranteeing religious freedom and association for ethnic nationalities in the state, which earned him recognition and conferment of the traditional title of Agu Na Eche Mba of Igbo land by the Chairman, Abia state/South East Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Eberechi Dick and another chieftaincy title conferred on him and his wife as Aare Fiwajoye of Ibadan by Olubadan, Oba (Dr.) Senator Mohood Olalekan Ishola. The governor, according to the statement, assured that the Muslim Muslim ticket is not going to in any way resulted in the neglect of Christians in the country, and appealed to the former SGF, Christian party members and other Nigerians to be mindful of their utterances, especially on religious matters and support the APC for quality leadership that will deliver the country from its challenges.

HOMENEWSPOLITICSMETROSPORTENTERTAINMENTOPINIONEDUCATIONHEALTHINTERVIEWDAILY POST GHANA CONNECT WITH US SEARCH Daily Post Nigeria NEWSMusic can mitigate insecurity – Force PRO, AdejobiPublished on July 4, 2022 By Ishola Oludare The Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the security challenges facing the nation could be mitigated with music. If properly managed, Adejobi opined that the Nigerian entertainment industry can salvage insecurity to some extent. The police spokesman, spoke in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, at an event marking King Wasiu Ayinde’s 50 years on stage. At the event organised by the Freelance and Independent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria (FIBAN), led by its President, Desmond Nwachukwu, Adejobi said, “entertainment and security will go together. There is nobody who will be at this event today that will go and fight or plan how to rob in the society. “Entertainment brings joy and succour to the land. I am a Christian and I have been told and read what King David used music to do in the Bible. “And the same thing is applicable these days. You can imagine the young talents who are singing today, award winners across the country who are Nigerians.” He noted that if some youths had not been engaged in entertainment, the level of insecurity plaguing the country would have been more than the present situation. He said, “Many talents are coming up. If those ones are not in the entertainment industry, I am sure it is going to be an additional problem to me on the field and other security agencies.” Adejobi, however, appealed that the entertainment industry should further be strengthened to accommodate more talents. He lauded the feat achieved by the music maestro in the country and beyond, saying “some of us that who are in the security know that music normally helps in curbing crime and criminality in our society.” The Police spokesman urged youths to abstain from crime and illegal means of livelihood but instead develop their talents and make a living from it. “I want to urge the youths who have talent, everyone has a talent, develop your talent and use it wisely for your own good and for the good of the society.” In his remarks, the FIBAN President, Desmond Nwachukwu, said the association decided to celebrate the Fuji Maestro, KWAM 1, for his contributions to the entertainment world. by TaboolaPromoted Links You May Like Owo church massacre: Defence Chief, Irabor makes fresh revelation Daily Post Biafra: Obasanjo tells Buhari what to do with Nnamdi Kanu Daily Post Ogun: Man who stole money to lodge in hotel stabbed to death by female friend Daily Post Smart Beds Clearance Sale: Price Might Surprise You Search Ads Search Now Work A USA Job From Home in Nigeria Work From Home Jobs What is CoolSculpting – It’s Not What You Think CoolSculpting | Search Ads RELATED TOPICS:ADEJOBIFORCE PROMUSIC UP NEXTASUU strike: Empty school buildings make me feel like crying – ABU VC DON’T MISSEPL: Cristiano Ronaldo spotted in training ground in Portugal, Moutinho extends contract YOU MAY LIKE Top creative avenue for online music promotion in Nigeria Ajisebutu is new Lagos Police PRO, Adejobi moves to Force Headquarters Hannibal Brumskine III: Second generation entrepreneur brings online therapy to music industry’s youth I’m the new Moses – Kanye West shades NBA, music labels Singer Samklef warns of fetish people in Nigerian music Industry Music is show business, most top artistes not talented – Jim Iyke ADVERTISE ABOUT US CONTACT US PRIVACY-POLICY TERMS Copyright © Daily Post Media Ltd

Nigerian journalists not technologically equipped for practice’ By Margaret Mwantok 19 November 2019 | 3:45 am Journalists. Photo: PIXABAY Technology is transforming the way journalists work, but it is also changing the way governments are able to censor the media, according to Joel Simon, executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). Though the Internet appears a valuable new source of information, cases of online harassment, the monitoring and surveilling of critics and deliberately sowing confusion and mistrust through propaganda and false news have also become common. Journalists are constantly under attack by terrorists to limit news coverage, the imprisonment of reporters and photographers who refuse to toe the official line, withholding access to officials and public documents and the wielding of financial leverage such as advertising and credit scores are also on the rise Amidst all these, journalists around the world are increasingly turning to digital technology to help address daunting challenges such as the spread of misinformation and growing attacks on reporters. According to the 2019 survey by the International Center for Journalists’ of the State of Technology in Global Newsrooms, based on responses from more than 4,100 newsroom managers and journalists from 149 countries, which was updated and expanded upon ICFJ’s pioneering 2017 report. 2017 revealed that journalists were struggling at that time to keep pace with the digital revolution. “There is a major shift afoot as news outlets come under attack digitally and physically,” said ICFJ President Joyce Barnathan. The findings show that newsrooms are embracing a range of digital tools to secure their communications and ensure the veracity of their information. More than two-thirds of journalists and newsrooms secure their communications while less than 50 per cent did so two years ago. More than 50 per cent of journalists surveyed say they regularly use digital tools to fact-check information. While only 11 per cent used any kind of social media verification tool in 2017 that number has more than doubled this year. Currently, one-quarter of journalists say they use the tools at least weekly, and more than one-third of news managers report the same. One-third of news organisations have dedicated fact-checkers on staff. Additionally, 44 per cent of newsrooms and 37 per cent of journalists have engaged in more fact-checking activities over the past year. The influx of young people into the profession is also changing the practice, as they deploy about 70 per cent of technology to help their reporting. The question is, how technologically equipped are journalists in Nigeria? Journalists in this part of the world are already limited with so many factors to meet up with the pace of technology. Apart from the low or no salary they receive, which they cannot afford the gadgets to make easy their jobs, most of the media outfits they represent are unable to provide these tools for them, hence it is easier for a camel to enter a needle hole than for a journalist to properly practice in Nigeria. Director, International Press Centre (IPC), Lanre Arogundade told The Guardian that real journalism practice requires some forms of research to gather empirical evidence on the level of maximization of digital tools. Adding, “What cannot be denied however is that a significant number of journalists have been exposed to knowledge through training on digital reporting although there are many who have not been so privileged. If therefore, the level of usage is considered low, the foregoing may be a factor. Be this as it may, one could easily point out media outlets like Daily Trust, Premium Times, The Cable, ICIR, etc, which have demonstrated a capacity for digital reporting. More still needs to be done though. He, however, noted that the working environment of many journalists in Nigeria was such that they are not as equipped as they should when compared with counterparts elsewhere For Goddie Ofose, brand builder and social media influencer, “Technology have helped in curbing fake news, as writing, reporting and reading fake news is optional. Technology has provided the room for immediate fact-checking.” Ofose said the increase in fake news was as a result of people being mischievous. “Any news that has not been confirmed is fake news, and confirming news is just a phone call away,” he said. It has also been argued that technology has helped to reduce crimes against journalists. A journalist said technology has become an everyday tool for practice, as it provides more opportunities of getting news ideas, develops multimedia content, connects to all source of media information faster and ease the stress of engaging in one-on-one interaction with the news makers and readers. He said, “On a daily basis, l use my computer, laptop, camera, smartphone, internet, technology-enabled platforms like the social media and tablets among others for purpose of news gathering and dissemination. Smartphones, in particular, have become a potent tool for conducting interviews, taking pictures and filing reports.” He noted, “Traditional journalism is gradually fading out as technology has arrived to positively enhance how journalism works by bringing a lot of different advantages. Although, we are in an era where all journalism has been slowly transforming into digital/tech journalism, we are hopefully getting there.” He, however, pointed out that journalists in Nigeria were not technologically equipped to make ease of their practice. “Accessibility to the latest technological equipment and availability of high-speed internet facility is a concern in this part of the world because of the high cost. “Many countries are already deploying undersea cables to bring down the cost of internet connectivity but we have not gotten to that stage. It’s important to note that highly efficient internet access aids news-gathering and content production processes. “The use of pen-cameras, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and drones among other latest tools are being deployed by journalists in advanced countries for investigative newsgathering but these tools are not yet accessible in Nigeria,” he said. For ThisDay correspondent, Raheem Akigbolu, his entire operation revolves round technology. “I keep asking what Journalism would have been without tech. I work in a very clumsy area in Lagos, Apapa, where vehicular traffic has become a nightmare. Today, with internet access I sene material to my editor and page planner from anywhere in the world without much hassle. Then from androids to other mobile telephoning platforms, I have gotten a lot to relax on for recording, Microsoft application, and photography. Besides, research has been simplified with the aides of finding tools like Google,” he said. He lamented that journalists in Nigeria were not equipped for today’s practice, saying, “Technology is not cheap and Nigerian media practitioners are not well remunerated. Nigeria journalists still rely on obsolete devices. In a country where only a few senior editors can afford new phones, one can imagine the quality of their work. Every day, technology trend changes, consumers, including journalists, are also expected to change.” In this article Daily Trust ICIR ICPC journalists Premium Times Technology The Cable From Around The Web Nigerian Millionaire Reveals: How to Get Rich with Bitcoin, Without Buying Bitcoin Daily Finance | Sponsored Nigerian Millionaire Mom Exposes How to Become Rich Without Leaving Home Daily Finance | Sponsored Verified Ghana Urologist Shares Permanent Solution To Enlarged Prostate In Men Zubic Nutrition | Sponsored Diabetes: Proven Solution To Type 2 Diabetes Discovered By Ghanaian Expert Makajeet | Sponsored Nigerian Millionaire Reveals: How to Get Rich with Bitcoin, Without Buying Bitcoin Daily Finance | Sponsored Nigerian Millionaire Mom Exposes How to Become Rich Without Leaving Home Daily Finance | Sponsored PROMOTED CONTENT Those With Pain In The Joints Of The Knees And Hips, Read This!
