Album art for 'Mandy and The Jungle' by Santi.

Album art for 'Mandy and The Jungle' by Santi.
Album Review: Santi's 'Mandy and The Jungle' is a banquet in a slow-burn movie

The Nigerian alte crowd is misunderstood.

They're a generation with different ideals in ways that make them a paradigm in Nigerian conversations. They are idealistically creative and confident with tribe mentality and allegiance to each other.

For those reasons, they have problems with the Nigerian mainstream that struggles to understand them. Sometimes, one has to admit that some of them worsen matters for themselves with uncouthness, but that comes with personality and background, not necessarily megalomania.

But when Santi released Suzie's Funeral, it became one of the three seminal alte projects - alongside Odunsi's Time Of Our Lives and Tay Iwar's Passport - that made people genuinely question some of their previously held reservations. Suzie's Funeral was a potpourri of different genres of music – sometimes on one track.

It also found beauty in making distant abstraction seem attractive to critics. The album and the near-perfect execution of it made some refer Santi as the nucleus of the sonically avant-garde second generation of alte. [one of the leading acts of alte music].

When he released 'Freaky,' 'Rapid Fire' and 'Sparky,' critics were reluctant on the trail of fandom, but they definitely showered the adulation as necessary. 2018 was a solid Santi-ed year.

Everyone knew an album was coming, so when he released the artwork and track list for Mandy and The Jungle, everyone couldn't help but break a smile; the boy who was slowly but surely growing into genuine mainstream success was dropping, it warmed the heart.

His penchant for creative album titles again came back to roost – this time, louder. 

On Friday, May 17, 2019, Mandy and The Jungle dropped and here is a review;

This review won't touch songs as that might seem a disservice to the album. Instead, it address the album as one body or work.

Songwriting, Themes and Delivery
Mandy and The Jungle is an album incredibly focused on the themes of love, romance, sex, obsession and adulation. Santi's chameleonic technique flatters the songwriting that you almost don't notice how regular some of his lyrics are – that's a strength.

However, a strong issue is how Santi is usually not audible enough. Sometimes words feel mumbled, other times the mixing makes the voicing seem overshadowed by effects that words are inaudible. A good artist has to be audible. Listeners need words to be easily digestible. And no, it's not about his idiosyncratic style or patois.

Away from that, Santi's ability as a stylistic chameleon is seriously impressive. One minute, he's singing in baritone with a peculiarly Nigerian style on 'Freaky,' the next moment, he's mumble rapping on a trap&B beat. Before you know it, he's flipping out with ease.

Production
If a Santi album is going to be rich on anything, it's production. The steady growth in the kind of music GMK, Genio Bambino, Odunsi, Le Mav and Higo can churn out is quite interesting. It's so surreal sometimes because one can track their growth. These boys understand the importance of instrumentation and harmonies.

There is an original, uniform sound that makes up the album without making it boring for people that like it. But on subsequent listens, listeners might start skipping some songs.

That said, the drums and bass guitar harmonies on 'DSM' are just impressive, and so are with the drums and sampling on 'Freaky.' The afro-fusion/gbedu of 'Maria' and the all-out afro-house, faaji repete effect on 'Turn Down Mami' also soothe the soul.


Even on songs that I think should be cut, the production is faultless.

Features
There's not much to say, the features were impressive. None felt out of place, but while Tay Iwar didn't put a foot wrong on 'Settle Down,' the song would have been fine without him.

What does 'Mandy and The Jungle' mean?
I would say it means the many tales and topics that make-up Santi's life as a young man, trying to navigate this time called life. One gets the feeling that some of these stories are abstract and fictional, but they retain their allure for how relatable they are.\

Even when a story is as circumstantial and fictional as it seemed 'Sparky' is, the Nollywood element brings lustre for appreciation. But a central theme throughout the album is emotion; something that most millennials constantly grapple with, try to control or simply lose control of.

To emote is to live, and to live is to have perspectives. Sometimes you live, but you need a escape, so you create a theatre in your mind that gleans experiences and thoughts. Mandy and The Jungle seems an out-of-body experience in which you can barely find anyone who has 100% relatability.

Verdict
After my first three listens, this was going to be part of my verdict, "There is a feeling that this album might need time and constant plays to truly resonate with people like me, but anything you constantly play will eventually resonate with you – it's simple repetition bias, and I'm reluctant to subscribe to that for this album.

"By no means is this album a bad listen, Santi just promised so much with the release of 'Freaky,' 'Rapid Fire' and 'Sparky' that one felt like he was carving a niche for himself with unique sounds while reaching creative epoch after another. Either as a result of the listener's unrealistic expectation that was never going to be satisfied or the artist's work, this album is underwhelming."

I was wrong…
On a personal note and for one simple reason, it took five listens and a cloudy morning to finally be swayed by this album; it is mood music, it's either for you or not for you – there's no middle ground.

Before we go ahead, let's get one thing clear; this album carries what one might call 'alte' on its back, but fundamentally it is not 'alte.' While it is avant-garde, and reverberates creative freedom, it is just music from an artist who refuses to be boxed.

Why is the album a banquet?
A banquet signifies variety and Mandy and The Jungle is - like Suzie's Funeral - another potpourri of genres and subgenres in experimental mode. This potpourri of genres then finds itself part of a sonic and experiential minimalist adventure that requires cogent digestion before an opinion can be formed.

If you're not careful, you discard a slow-burner movie before its even genuinely started - these tendencies are worse when that movie is entwined in Quentin Tarrantino-esque lengthy dialogue scenes. That's what Mandy and The Jungle is.

On the one hand, judging this album seems a slippery slope, but when music is a part of you, it becomes a cause.

Mandy and The Jungle sees Santi doing Santi – a little bit of everything.

Equally, while Santi's evolution is definitely palpable, some might say he's still taking risks within his sonic comfort zone. But then, that might be unfair, we all have a sound. Sometimes, you can't rush evolution and there's no one way to evolve.

That said, I feel this album could have done without, 'Demon Hearts,' 'Raw Dinner' and 'Dime In The Water,' not because they're bad songs, but because if they were not in the album, the album would have been fine.


Most people will need like three plays in different moods to have their true verdict of Mandy and The Jungle. Your mood, what you've been consuming and other factors will determine whether or not you will like this album.

Personally, I would like to see Santi on more daring topics, painting pictures and telling real stories about life future albums. It feels like there are things he's not saying. There was a slight overkill of love stories on this album.

Wande Coal's new music video, ‘Spend Some Time,’ has a retro reflection

Posted: 22 May 2019 11:00 PM PDT

Wande Coal's new music video, 'Spend Some Time,' has a retro reflection.
Date: May 21, 2019

Song Title: Spend Some Time

Artist: Amaarae featuring Wande Coal

Genre: Afrobeats, afro-fusion, dancehall, UK funky


Producer: Obed and Rvdical Tha Kid

Album: TBA

Label: TBA

Video Director: David Nicolsey for Golden Pictures

Details/Takeaway: Asides SoundCloud aficionados, most people probably know Amaarae as the infectious, light lyric soprano that delivered echoes of sexuality with alluring ease on Santi's heatseeking hit, 'Rapid Fire.'

For those who don't know, she is a Ghanaian singer, DJ and sound engineer who delivers heavy lines with dreamy, sensual dexterity anytime she grabs the mic. She is also British rapper, Kojey Radical's cousin.

On this Wande Coal-assisted tune which shares similarities with Drake's mega-hit, 'One Dance,' Amaarae sings focuses on the theme of intimacy and unintentionally, how time makes love bloom. On another note, the video - which Wande misses - showcases a number of beautiful black women destroying steam with some good old companionship in a club.

The beauty of this song is its ability to soundtrack almost anything you want. The video, produced by Mutombo Da Poet, reflects generation x aesthetics, constume and props.

Ibinabo Fiberesima says many Nigerian entertainers care less about their health

Posted: 22 May 2019 10:30 PM PDT

Ibinabo Fiberesima says entertainers care less about their health
Ibinabo Fiberesima is of the opinion that many Nigerian entertainers care less about their health.

Nollywood actress, Ibinabo Fiberesima says entertainers in Nigeria give little or no attention to their health and it's worrisome.

In an exclusive chat with Pulse on the deaths and health scares in the entertainment industry, the first female and ex-president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria says many of her colleagues don't care much about their health until it becomes too late.

"I dare to take a leap by asserting further that research into a percentage of those who have gone for checkups this 2019 will yield shocking results. They simply don't care until it is too late," she says.


Fiberesima was quick to note that though she won't condemn her colleagues for relaxing if done with moderation, a situation where such becomes a daily way of life is absolutely unacceptable.

"So imagine your average entertainer who indulges in alcohol, substance abuse, a frequent wanton sexual activity sometimes backed with enhancers and caps it off with daily late nights and sleeps less than the required hours only to rush off the very next day as soon he gets the call to work.

"On location he eats whatever he sees and drinks whatever he finds, napping in between cuts. He decides to forget the damage such a lifestyle does to his body. He decides to ignore the danger of his steadily rising Blood Pressure, which by the way is now one of the foremost youth killers." she says.

Continuing, the ex-Miss Earth Nigeria says, "Your average entertainer has no idea what blood sugar tests are for, keeps no BP Monitor and feels it's needless to have one, pretends that heavy cigarette intake doesn't damage the lungs in an irreparable manner.

"The only issues they worry about is malaria and typhoid and even then, they resort to self-medication till it gets too late. The harsh truth is the same colleagues who drink and indulge with you will never bail out their buddies when the literal shit hits the fan. It's an unspoken rule. I mean they all knew what they were getting into ab initio, so once you're down it's your bad luck and everyone awaits your candlelight procession and an opportunity to drink further in honour of the fallen." 

The leggy mother of three stresses the need for entertainers to take their health seriously. She went further to advise her colleagues from indulging in unhealthy activities that might pose danger to their well-being.


"My candid advice to my colleagues is; you only have one life. Once it's gone, it's gone. It's irreplaceable. So you owe it to yourself at least for the sake of the family you'll leave behind to take care of yourself. No one else will do it for you," she says.

On the need for entertainers to strive hard to get on a health insurance scheme, Fiberesima expresses her take on the matter saying "I'd be a hypocrite to grant this session if I didn't have an insurance plan. Look, I have a lovely family and I owe it to them to make sure I take personal responsibility for myself. I am of no use to them if I'm broken with no respite in sight. So that inspired me to get a plan."

Fiberesima also shared her contribution towards helping ailing colleagues. She explained how she initiated a Health Maintenance Organization, HMO for actors in the industry within a hundred days in office as the President of AGN.

"As the President of the Actor's Guild of Nigeria AGN, I initiated a Health Maintenance Organization, HMO for actors in the industry within a hundred days in office. The practice of ailing practitioners going cap in hand for funds was painful to me not only as a practitioner but also as a human.  So while vying for leadership of the AGN, welfare and health topped my to-do list.

"The insurance aspect was a bit tedious because we had to practically carry out a data of the actors to make it work. It's one of my best moments of my tenure. We visited veterans round the country to educate them on the benefits of the scheme and educated them on the affordable annual premium packages, which I personally found fair a deal. There was also free medical checks for practitioners. In fact it was a popular notion then that being an AGN member was also tantamount to being an HMO holder. The health plan was that precise," she reeled.

The 46-year-old actress and pageant organiser says further that entertainers should always remember their health before indulging in various activities that affect their health. 

"Without apologies, there are a few of debilitating indulgences entertainers and other people can't do without. But like I always say, your health first. All these indulgences pale into insignificance when you hit the red zone," Fiberesima says emphatically.

Nollywood has lost 15 of some of its best in the first five months of 2019 and it's been a sad occurrence. Some of the deaths are as a result of health challenges that could have been maintained if the deceased got proper and desired medical attention. The 15 Nollywood stars, who have passed away in 2019, include practitioners from different tribes and sectors of the Nigerian movie industry.

INEC vs Rochas Okorocha: See What Happened In Court On Tuesday

Posted: 22 May 2019 02:38 PM PDT

Gov. Rochas Okorocha

An Abuja Federal High Court, on Tuesday, proceeded with the certificate of return case filed by Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo State despite a petition by the third defendant, Sen. Osita Izunaso.

Recall that Izunaso, had petitioned the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Adamu Abdu-Kafarati, saying he was shut out of the matter and was being denied fair hearing.

Justice Okon Abang, the trial judge, at the resumed hearing, said that he had received the petition but that hearing in the matter would proceed accordingly, since Izunaso had failed to serve the petition on other parties as required by law.

"The third defendant (Izunaso) wrote a petition to the chief judge of this court that this matter be reassigned to another judge that this court as presently constituted denied him fair hearing in this matter.

"He made reference to several decisions of this court and questioned those decisions.

"The law is settled that where a petition is written against the court or its judge in respect of a matter it is handling by a party in the case, it is the duty of the lawyer that wrote the petition to ensure that all parties in the suit are served with the petition.

"The proceedings of the court have been conducted in the open court and not in chamber and in line with the rules of court and the court records are duly kept and there is nothing to hide in the matter.

"The third defendant ought to have served his petition on all parties in the suit since all parties participated in the suit and are entitled to be heard before a decision is taken with respect to the petition

"It is immaterial that the petition was signed by the third defendant, it is my view that the petition was written by his lawyer who merely asked him to sign," Abang said.

The judge held that the law was clear on that issue and that except otherwise provided, a lawyer shall not deliver to a judge a petition without delivering same to the opposing lawyers.

Abang asked the registrar of the court to make copies of the petition and serve on the plaintiff's counsel, the first, sixth and seventh defendants counsel for their information.

He also said it should be served on them for them to ascertain if the facts represented by the third defendant represented the true position of proceedings of the court.

He ordered that the matter shall continue accordingly and called the fourth and fifth defendants' counsel to present their cases and they both urged the court in their submission to dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction.

The matter has been adjourned until May 22 for continuation of hearing.

Okorocha was in court asking for an order compelling the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue him with a Certificate of Return as the Senator-elect for Imo West Senatorial District.

Buhari tells tribunal, I’m not aware Bulkachuwa’s son campaigned for me

Posted: 22 May 2019 10:28 AM PDT

The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, was told by President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, that he was not aware that biological son of the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, Aliyu Haidar Abubakar, campaigned for his re-election.

Buhari, said he only got to know that Abubakar was his supporter, after he read a copy of the motion the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, filed to disqualify Justice Bulkachuwa from presiding over the five-man panel tribunal that is hearing petitions challenging the declaration that he won the February 23 presidential election.

President Buhari, who is the 2nd Respondent in Atiku's petition marked CA/PEPT/02/19, said his attention was further drawn to exhibits that contained newspaper cuttings, indicating that Justice Bulkachuwa's son canvassed for votes in his favour.

Nevertheless, in a written address he filed in support of an 11-paragraphed affidavit he lodged to counter Atiku's motion, President Buhari, insisted that the petitioners, failed to prove that Justice Bulkachuwa had in any way, exhibited any form of bias against them, since the petition was entered before the tribunal.

The counter affidavit was deposed to by one Kolawole Andrew Aro, a litigation officer in the chambers of President Buhari's lead counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN.

In the written address, President Buhari, who was represented at the tribunal on Wednesday by a team of lawyers led by seven Senior Advocates of Nigeria, SANs, said he had since his emergence to power, refrained from dabbling into the membership of any judicial panel.

He said he never interfered with the constitution of any tribunal, "whether the panel is adjudicating on election petitions relating to the office of President, Governor, National or State Assembly, or sitting in any civil or criminal matter howsoever".
President Buhari said he had no power whatsoever to decide those to be appointed into any judicial panel or tribunal, stressing that such interference would amount to a gross abuse of the principle of separation of powers.

He said he was aware that Justice Bulkachuwa had at the inaugural sitting of the presidential election petition tribunal on May 8, assured all the parties that in dealing with the petitions, the court, would be guided by the constitution, the law and international best practices.

Consequently, he maintained that Atiku and the PDP, had no reason whatsoever to be apprehensive about the involvement of the Court of Appeal President in the adjudication of their dispute with regards to the outcome of the 2019 presidential election.

READ: Justice Bulkachuwa Asked To Withdraw From Presidential Election Tribunal By PDP

He said: "Having said that, and bearing in mind the sole issue distilled for determination by the respondent supra, it is the Respondent's humble submission that whether or not the honourable President of the Court of Appeal should recuse herself from further sitting or participating in the proceedings in this petition and be replaced by another justice of this honourable court to sit in his place to hear and determine petition, as prayed by the petitioners, is within the prerogative and discretion of the honourable President of the Court of Appeal.
"What is to be taken into consideration in coming to one decision or the other in respect of the application is also within the exclusive discretion of the honourable President.

"This is not a decision that can be dictated to her by either the petitioners or respondent or any of their counsel.

"When it comes to matter of discretion, the judge or justice involved is the sole determinant.

"The honourable President of the Court of Appeal had not displayed any bias in favour of any or the parties, particularly the Respondent.

"For the respondent, it has no reason whatsoever to complain about any of the justices sitting on the panel or any Justices of Court of Appeal for that matter.

"It is not the constitutional responsibility of the Respondent to appoint or nominate Justices of the Court of Appeal sitting or adjudicating on a presidential election petition.

"We submit that the Respondent has no say, in whatsoever manner, in the appointment or Justices who are adjudicating on the present presidential election petition.

"As the Chief Executive of Nigeria, the Respondent respects the doctrine of separation of powers and does not dabble into the membership of any judicial panel, whether the panel is adjudicating on election petitions relating to the office of President, Governor, National or State Assembly, or sitting in any civil or criminal matter howsoever.

"The Respondent was not at any time privy to the said exhibits, he only became aware of them on being served with the Petitioners' present application".

"May we submit that from the totality of the Petitioners' processes, we notice that the Petitioners do not deny the truism as provided by the constitution, regarding the prerogative of the President of the Court of Appeal, to constitute this panel.

"In other words, it is still within the constitutional prerogative of the same President to either decided whether to recuse herself and if he does, to nominate or appoint a replacement or to leave the panel of four, having regard to the clear provision of section 239(1) (a) of the Constitution", President Buhari added.

READ:  Atiku Vs Buhari: Peter Obi Reportedly Storms Tribunal As Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa Heads Panel

On its part, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, which is the 1st Respondent in the matter, through its team of lawyers comprising five SANs led by Mr. Yunuz Uztaz, urged the tribunal to dismiss Atiku and PDP's motion, contending that it was in breach of section 42 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

INEC, argued that the motion was discriminatory in the sense that it sought to disqualify Justice Bulkachuwa on the basis that she was married to a politician.

Noting that many male judicial officers are equally married to politicians, INEC, maintained that granting the instant application would set " a very dangerous precedent".

"My lord we vehemently oppose the application. And we have filed a five-paragraphed affidavit to show that exhbit 2 to 4 that was attached my the petitioners, is of no moment.

"We urge your lordship not to be lured into accepting or succumbing to the argument of the petitioners. We humbly urge your lordship to dismiss the application", INEC's lawyer added.
Similarly, the All Progressives Congress, APC, through its team of nine SANs, led by Prince Lateef Fagbemi, accused the PDP and Atiku of engaging in "cheap blackmail".

While adopting its 15-paragraphed affidavit, the APC, said it was appalled that PDP was in the habit of engaging in "unpardonable and regrettable attacks" on Judges, saying it did so during a governorship election petition case that involved Osun State.

"This application is nothing but cheap blackmail. On facts and law, the application is most unmeritorious", Fagbemi argued.

Nevertheless, noting that Justice Bulkachuwa will retire by next year, Fagbemi, while concluding his argument, said, "My lord, we urge you to lead the matter".

Meanwhile, replying on point of law, counsel to the petitioners, Dr. Uzuokwu, SAN, argued that none of the Respondents disputed the allegation that Justice Bulkachuwa was connected to key members of the APC which is the 3rd Respondent in the matter.

After it had heard all the parties, the panel said it would reconvene by 2pm to deliver its ruling.

It will be recalled that PDP and Atiku had on May 15, secured leave of the tribunal to filed a formal application to ask Justice Bulkachuwa to recuse herself from the panel.

In a 19-paragraphed affidavit to subsequently filed, the petitioners, said they were not comfortable that Justice Bulkachuwa, who they described as "a wife and mother of card carrying members of the All Progressives Congress", nominated herself to head the panel.

The petitioners argued that there are over 80 Justices in the Court of Appeal that could effectively head the panel.

PDP noted that Justice Bulkachuwa had at the inaugural session of the tribunal, while delivering her inaugural speech, stated as follows:

"Elections are held in Nigeria every four years into elective positions. No matter how well the election is conducted there are bound to be complaints…"

According to the petitioners, by making that remark, it would appear that Justice Bulkachuwa had already prejudged the Presidential election as well conducted and that the petition is one of the complaints that come up "no matter how well the election is conducted".

More so, in the affidavit that was deposed to by its Deputy National Secretary, Mr. Agbo, the petitioners averred: "I know that Honourable Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa (PCA) who currently presides over the Panel baring the Petitioners/Applicants' Petition is the spouse of Honourable Adamu Muhammed Bulkachuwa, a stakeholder in the 3rd Respondent.

"Honourable Adamu Muhammed Bulkachuwa, the husband of Honourable Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa is a Senator-elect sponsored by the All Progressives Congress (APC), the 3rd Respondent in the extant Petition, for Bauchi North Senatorial District, Bauchi State.

"The election challenged in the Petition, that is the subject matter of this application held simultaneously in Bauchi North Senatorial District with the election of Honourable Adamu Muhammed Bulkachuwa, both on the platform of the 3rs Respondent.

"I know that in the said Petition, Bauchi State is one of the focal States in which the Petitioners/Applicants have alleged that electoral infractions occurred.

"Honourable Adamu Muhammed Bulkachuwa is not only a card carrying member of the 3rd Respondent and a Senator-elect under the sponsorship of the 3rd Respondent, he is also a staunch member and prominent stakeholder in the 3rd Respondent and has a stake in the election of the 2nd Respondent as President, having extensively campaigned for the 2nd Respondent.

"I know that as a spouse of Honourable Adamu Muhammed Bulkachuwa, the Honourable Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa is so closely related to Honourable Adamu Muhammed Bulkachuwa that she cannot fairly hear and determine the instant Petition without eliciting the suspicion and anxiety of all right thinking persons, including myself.

"The Court of Appeal has more than eighty (80) Justices who are able and competent to participate in the hearing and determination of the extant Petition in the absence of Honourable Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa (PCA).

"I also know that her biological son, Aliyu Haidar Abubakar is a card carrying member of the 3rd Respondent and he contested the gubernatorial primary election of the 3rd Respondent in the just concluded general election in Gombe State.

"Attached hereto and marked Exhibit 2 is a printout made today from the Facebook page named Aliyu Haidar Abubakar Volunteer Group containing his campaign posters, photographs and various posts showing his campaign messages for himself and the 2nd Respondent, both of whom contested on the platform of the 3rd Respondent.

"I also attach hereto and marked Exhibit 3 a print out of a Daily Post online news publication in which Aliyu Haidar Abubakar was prominently featured as the son of Honourable Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa and who contested the governorship primaries of Gombe State on the platform ofthe 3rd Respondent. (Sechttps://dailypost.ng/2018/09/16/gombe-2019-justicebulkachuwas-son-joins-race-succeed-dankwambo/ampl)

"On 27th October 20 l 8, the Daily Post online news also published reports that the 3rd Respondent had given its Senatorial ticket to Honourable Adamu Muhammad Bulkachuwa to curry favour with his wife, Honourable Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, whose court would handle election petition cases arising from primary elections.

"Attached hereto and marked Exhibit 4 is a print out of the said publication. (Seehttpszl/dailypostmg/ZOI8/]0/27/apcbauchi-stalwarts-claim-oshiomhole-gave-tuggars-ticket-appeal-courtpresidents-husband-bulkachuwa-documents/)

"I was present at the inaugural sitting of the Panel on 8/5/20l9 when the Honourable Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa (PCA) as the Presiding Justice, made the following statements;

"Elections are held in Nigeria every four years Into elective positions. No matter how well the election is conducted there are bound to be complaints…"

"Justice demands that Judges who will sit in the Panel of Tribunal be divested from all forms of bias."

"I was in the Court of Appeal, Abuja, on 15/5/2019 and when the Court sat and the Honourable Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa (PCA) led a Panel of five (5) Justices to hear the Petition.

"On that day, shortly after the matter was called, the Lead Counsel for the Petitioners/Applicants applied that Lead Counsel for all Parties be allowed to meet with the Justices in Chambers, to discuss an issue, which application was granted.

"When their Lordships and Counsel came out of chambers, the Presiding Justice addressed the Counsel and stated that he had earlier received a letter from the 2nd Petitioner/Applicant asking that he recuse himself from this Petition.

"His Lordship, Honourable Justice Bulkachuwa also said the Petitioners' Counsel had, in chambers, made a similar application but that since the matter was already in the public domain, the Justices had decided that the application be made in open court.

"His Lordship, Hon. Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa then invited the Petitioners' Lead Counsel to make an oral application for her to recuse herself.

"However, the Lead Counsel to the Petitioners/Applicants applied to the Honourable Court that the Petitioners/Applicants be allowed to file a formal application, which application the Court granted.

"I make this oath conscientiously believing the contents to be true and correct and in accordance with the Oaths Act", it read.

Both PDP and Atiku are challenging the declaration the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, made on February 27 that President Buhari garnered a total of 15,191,847 votes to defeat Atiku who it said polled a total of 11,262,978 votes in the disputed presidential election.

Dissatisfied with the result, Atiku had vowed to upturn it in court.

In their joint petition, Atiku and his party, insisted that data they secured from INEC's server, revealed that they clearly defeated President Buhari with over 1.6million votes.

The petitioners alleged that INEC had at various stages of the presidential election, unlawful allocated votes to President Buhari, saying they would adduce oral and documentary evidence to show that result of the election as announced by the electoral body, did not represent the lawful valid votes cast

Atiku alleged that in some states, INEC, deducted lawful votes that accrued to him, in its bid to ensure that Buhari was returned back to office.

The petitioners said they would call evidence of statisticians, forensic examiners and fingerprint experts at the hearing of the petition to establish that the scores credited to Buhari were not the product of actual votes validly cast at the polling units.

Likewise, in one of the five grounds of the petition, Atiku and the PDP maintained that Buhari was not qualified to run for the office of the President, contending that he does not possess the constitutional minimum qualification of a school certificate.
Aside asking the Tribunal to declare that he was duly and validly elected and ought to be returned as President of Nigeria, having polled the highest number of lawful votes cast at the presidential election, Atiku, in the alternative, urged the tribunal to nullify the February 23 presidential election and order a fresh poll.

Traditional Ruler Booted Out By Wike For Allegedly Harbouring Cultists

Posted: 22 May 2019 07:25 AM PDT

Governor Nyesom Wike

HRM Monday Frank Noryaa, Gbenemene Baabe, a traditional ruler, has been sacked by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State,  for allegedly harbouring cultists in his domain.

Gov. Wike reportedly approved the withdrawal of the Certificate of Recognition of the traditional ruler in the state following alleged indictment on cult-related activities within his kingdom.

The sacking of HRM Noryaa was contained in a statement issued and signed on Monday by the Special Assistant to the Rivers State governor on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu.

"The Traditional Ruler was also indicted for harbouring cultists, leading to insecurity in the area," the statement added.

According to the governor, his administration remains committed to the promotion of peace and security across the state.

The development comes after the Nigerian Army described as fake news, fresh allegations leveled against the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 6 Division and Land Component Commander Operation Delta Safe, Major General Jamil Sarham, by Governor Wike.

Wike is said to have in a video clip released to newsmen by his special assistant on electronic media, Simeon Nwakaudu, accused General Sarham of leaking proceeds of Rivers State Security Council meetings to criminals in Rivers State.

But responding in a statement on Tuesday, from Nigerian Army Headquarters signed by the deputy director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Aminu Iliyasu, the Army said there was no truth in Wike's claims against the GOC 6 division.

Nigeria Given 30 Years By World Bank To Repay $350m Rural Electrification Fund

Posted: 22 May 2019 06:49 AM PDT

The World Bank

Nigeria given 30 years by World Bank to pay back the rural electrification loan. The fund which is managed by the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) is expected to provide power to 2.5 million people and 70,000 small businesses.

Nigeria will have about 30 years to repay the World Bank $350 million it borrowed from it to fund the expansion of access and supply of electricity to rural communities, educational institutions and underserved micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the country under the Nigerian Electrification Project (NEP).

THISDAY gathered from the Bank that the country would, however, get an initial five years' grace on the repayment of the loan which was approved in June 2017, by the Bank, to be disbursed through it International Development Association (IDA) credit window.

According to the fact sheet on the loan, the NEP is to be managed by the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) and will leverage private sector investments in solar mini grids and standalone solar systems to provide electricity to about 2.5 million people and 70,000 MSMEs.

It will also fund the provision of reliable electricity to seven universities and two teaching hospitals under the Energising Education Programme (EEP).

"The program will help increase access to electricity services for households, public educational institutions, and underserved micro, small and medium enterprises," said the fact sheet in its description.

According to it, the project comprises of four components, with the first component being, solar hybrid mini grids for rural economic development which will be implemented under a market-based private sector led approach to construct, operate, and maintain economically viable mini grids.

This it added will be supported by subsidies that reduce initial capital outlays. "It consists of minimum subsidy tender for mini grids; and performance-based grants program," it noted.

The second component of the NEP, it explained would be stand-alone solar systems for homes and MSMEs with the intention to significantly increase the market for stand-alone solar systems in Nigeria in order to provide access to electricity to more than one million Nigerian households and MSMEs at lower cost than their current means of service such as small diesel generating sets.
"It consists of market scale-up challenge grants; and performance-based grants," the fact sheet added.

It said the third component of the NEP which is the energising education objective, will provide reliable, affordable, and sustainable power to public universities and associated teaching hospitals, while the fourth component will be technical assistance designed to build a framework for rural electrification upscaling, support project implementation as well as broad capacity building in the REA; Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC); Ministry of Power, Works, and Housing; and other relevant stakeholders in the industry.

Tiwa Savage Has Never Watched Game of Thrones, She Explain

Tiwa Savage Has Never Watched Game of Thrones, She Explain
Tiwa Savage says she has never seen Game of Thrones

Pop musician, Tiwa Savage, has revealed that she has not watched fantasy series, Game of Thrones.

The 39-year-old singer made this known in a post on InstaStories on Tuesday.

"I must be the ONLY one who hasn't watched GOT," she wrote.


Movie: Game of Thrones
The final episode of Game of Thrones aired two nights ago and didn't go without a fair share of praises and criticism.

However, not minding the criticisms, one of the stars of the show, Emilia Clarke, believes the show ended appropriately.

"After 10 years of working on this show, it's logical. Where else can she go?" she told Entertainment Weekly.
"I tried to think what the ending will be. It's not like she's suddenly going to go, 'Okay, I'm gonna put a kettle on and put cookies in the oven and we'll just sit down and have a lovely time and pop a few kids out.' That was never going to happen. She's a Targaryen."

Clarke went on to explain how the later stages of her relationship with Jon Snow proved integral to the story of Dany's death.

"She's too far down the line. She's killed so many people already. I can't turn this ship around. It's too much," she added.
"One by one, you see all these strings being cut. And there's just this last thread she's holding onto: There's this boy. And she thinks, 'He loves me, and I think that's enough.'… it's just that hope and wishing that finally there is someone who accepts her for everything she is and … he f—king doesn't."
