President Muhammadu Buhari and the Vice President Yemi Osinbanjo have announced a 50% pay cut on their salaries. The President and the VP said they will only be receiving only 50% of the approved salaries by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission.
"I think they were trying to disrupt the result ... the high court decided that the election was illegal," Wike said.
"It (the blast) was close to the high court, nobody was killed and it didn't affect the building."

The ace comedian Julius Agwu who has been ill for sometime, underwent a brain surgery in US in May. This Story is credited to Yes International Magazine. Read details below;
7 minutes had just jumped past the hour of 12 when I arrived his residence (in highbrow Lekki Phase 1, Lagos) that Sunday, June 21, 2015. It was drizzling and so the street looked deserted.
A hard knock on his gate and the security man came rushing out; sleepy-eyed and of course sad.
In fact, so sad because his sleep had been rudely interrupted. With the frown still occupying his face, he asked who I wanted to see; I said Julius and he went back to his room.
However, before he could reach him on the intercom, I already had Julius’ voice on my phone, which I handed over to him. ‘Open!’ He said, and the security man immediately ushered me into the compound, and from there the sitting room.
An unusual thing happened to me a few years ago. I spoke casually with a woman who served tables at a restaurant I frequented. We knew each other by first name only, but usually chatted for a few minutes each time I dined there.
