If eloquence or elocution was all that is needed to prove one’s bona fides or demonstrate competence, President Muhammadu Buhari would prove a woeful failure. In his maiden media chat last week, he struggled to communicate, and worse, even struggled to form his thoughts. He did not have problem with his tenses, nor if he did should that worry us. At least the country understood their president, and from his responses, the president in turn claimed and indeed appeared to understand his countrymen, especially how sometimes difficult they can be It was his first media chat, and doubtless his coaches must have worked on him, schooling him on difficult and anticipated questions, and gently admonishing the ramrod straight retired army general to rein in his emotions, soften his taciturnity, and crack some jokes. His coaches will now need to do more, and if need be, ensure he can tell the difference between excise and exercise, for one has to do with customs and the other military drill. ...

The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has offered the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, free form to resit her mathematics exams after a major goof during budget defence at the National Assembly last week. During the defence, she alleged that one of the exams body in the country made N16 billion from sale of forms and other services, and got additional N6billion from the federal government bringing the total to ‘N24billion’ yet remitted onlyN2million to the federation account. Responding to the allegation, the registrar of WAEC Dr. Iyi Uwadiae, not only faulted the minister on the allegation, but also offered her chance to have another go in maths given the poor summation of the figures. Uwadiae said: “It’s not enough to go to the Senate and reel out figures. The minister should know, that what Nigerian students pay to sit for WAEC examinations is simply an operational/management cost, that covers registration, data keeping and management, printing of examination papers...

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has said that mere sacking of the Director General of Budget, Yahaya Gusau and appointment of new one would not erase the national embarrassment generated by the errors of the 2016 budget, insisting that the budget must be withdrawn from the National Assembly and a new and error free one represented. In a release issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said what the controversial 2016 budget required was a holistic approach, not just making one person scapegoat. He maintained that padding of the budget with strange figures, now being denied by Ministers was a clear intention to steal in advance, adding that; “Though it is good that the President listened to my call for the punishment of those responsible for the national embarrassment, mere sacking of officers at the Budget Office will not remove the stain splashed on Nigeria by the shameful budget.” The governor said; “Sackin...

By Elizabeth Hanes A man named Valentinus was martyred on February 14 late in the third century A.D.—this much we know. But when it comes to details about the life of St. Valentine, legend often supersedes fact. As you celebrate this Valentine’s Day, find out the truth about the man for whom the day is named, as well as some other intriguing facts about history's most romantic holiday. 1. The St. Valentine who inspired the holiday may have been two different men. Officially recognized by the Roman Catholic Church, St. Valentine is known to be a real person who died around A.D. 270. However, his true identity was questioned as early as A.D. 496 by Pope Gelasius I, who referred to the martyr and his acts as “being known only to God.” One account from the 1400s describes Valentine as a temple priest who was beheaded near Rome by the emperor Claudius II for helping Christian couples wed. A different account claims Valentine was the Bishop of Terni, also martyred by Claudius II on ...

California, U.S. – Tupac Shakur who was supposedly killed at the age of 25 is now admitting he has been hiding this whole time. It was Shakur who in 1996 was reportedly attending a special event in Las Vegas, the Mike Tyson-Benson fight, and then afterwards was brutally murdered.

By Daily Post Staff Dr. Jibril Abudullahi, a gynaecologist at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano, says change in position during sex can help reduce the probability of urinary tract infection in women. Abdullahi told the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja that urinary tract infection could be easily contracted when women indulge in harmful lifestyle. He added that good personal hygiene coupled with other healthy lifestyle of an individual could help women in preventing urinary tract infection. He said: “A change in position during sex may help reduce the possibility of being infected because it reduces the friction on the urethra. “Having multiple sexual partners contributes to the risk of having urinary tract infection. “Too frequent and intense sexual intercourse could result to it. “The use of diaphragms and un-lubricated condoms are contributory factors.” Abdullahi explained that urinary tract infection is a bacterial infection that occurs when bacteria invades th...

Dear Sir, BETWEEN US, WHO IS A CRIMINAL? It is with utter dismay and unfeigned consternation that I wish to succinctly albeit humbly, express my displeasure and disappointment at your constant ridiculing of your countrymen and your obvious disdain of them. Your derogation of their personae before the international community has sadly become an embarrassing characteristic of your maladministration, and by extension exposes the insecurity and low esteem you have of yourself. Isn't it sad, Mr President, that you cower behind the tattered cloak of blames to hide your inefficiency? There's an adage that says that when you point a finger at someone, the remaining four fingers point back at you. Whoever comes to equity should come with clean hands. This rule of nature, you have failed! Mr President, in light of your recent character defaming statement before the international community, I'm forced to remind you of your disgraceful and crime tainted antecedents. I humbl...

Punch Editorial Board FOR a government that projects change, the 2016 national budget proposals are in certain respects an outright mess. Its authors exhibited an unpardonable level of slothfulness, while President Muhammadu Buhari, who dutifully presented it, was inattentive. The proposals should be withdrawn and amended to remove the in-built waste, extravagance and fraud smuggled in by bureaucrats. Buhari’s reputation for honesty, frugality and fiscal responsibility has taken a hit from the self-indulgence embedded in the proposals. How can a government of change justify spending N3.8 billion on the State House Medical Centre, over N1 billion on the purchase of vehicles and N89.17 million on canteen/kitchen equipment at a time of austerity and belt-tightening for the State House? To be sure, the overall budget has noble intentions and targets. The N1.8 trillion, or about 30 per cent of the N6.08 trillion plan, set aside for capital expenditure, is an improvement on the paltry ...

By Daily Post Staff A Gynaecologist at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital Kano, Dr. Jibril Abdullahi, has advised women to avoid cleaning the vagina with soap and alum as such could do more harm than good. Abdullahi gave the advice against the backdrop of general understanding among women that such cleaning was the best way to keep the female part healthy. He told the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday that the vagina had a pH level that needs to be maintained between 3.5 and 4.5 in order to prevent the growth of unhealthy bacteria and maintain the growth of good bacteria. He said washing the vagina with harsh chemical could hurt the pH (potential of hydrogen) balance around the organ and could lead to irritation, infection, as well as offensive odour. According to Abdullahi, women can use lukewarm water to clean by wiping from front to the back instead of using harsh chemicals in the area. He explained that “the use of simple clean water is enough to keep the vagina clean because...
