It cruises through the street with the wind in its hair as a man sits behind him, relaxing back into his seat. Passing motorists cheer on the unlikely friendship as the owner sticks his thumbs up at them. That is one talented dog.

JAMB Appeals To Candidates and Stake Holders To Remain patience And Understanding
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in a statement has
appealed to the public to remain calm and understanding following the
planned protest by individuals under the aegis of education
consultants.
The statement made available by the JAMB's public relations officer,
Dr Fabian Benjamin asked the aggrieved candidates to channel their
complaints to the public complaints unit of the board or visit JAMB
offices nationwide instead of allowing themselves to be used in
pursuit of selfish interests.
Part of the statement reads, "We are not perfect as an organisation
but we are working hard to ensure that Nigerian education is better
than it is.
We have taken the risk to do the unthinkable so as to change the paradigm.
"We will continue to call on all Nigerians to give us the benefit of
the doubt and with their collective support we will give them one of
the best CBTs globally."
The board added that the worst CBT is far better than the best paper
and pencil test (PPT), where candidates pouring acid on invigilators,
bolting with questions papers and engaging in all forms of gross
examination malpractices.

FG Apologises To Nigerians Over Blackout
The federal government has apologised to Nigerians for the persistent power failures, blaming the situation on gas failure as well as sabotage and vandalisation of power infrastructure.
According to a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by Segun Adeyemi, special adviser to Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, the government said that all efforts were being made to rectify the situation and ensure a gradual improvement in the power situation.
“There will be a decent improvement in the power situation from this weekend, thanks to ongoing remedial efforts that will double the current power supply to 4,000WM.
Getting back to the 5,074MW all-time high that was reached earlier will take a few more weeks,” Mohammed said.
The minister said that at a time the routine maintenance by the Nigeria Gas Company had affected the supply of gas to power stations, forcing down power supply from an all-time high of 5,074 MW to about 4,000MW, a combination of unsavoury incidents further crashed the power supply to about half that figure.
“The vandalisation of the Forcados export pipelines forced oil companies to shut down, making it impossible for them to produce gas. Then, workers at the Ikeja DISCOS, who were protesting the disengagement of some of their colleagues after they failed the company’s competency test, apparently colluded with the National Transmission Station in Osogbo to shut down transmission,” he explained.
“Finally, the unfortunate strike by the unions at the NNPC, over the restructuring of the corporation, shut down the Itarogun power station, the biggest in the country. Due to these factors, only 13 out of the 24 power stations in the country are currently functioning. It is this same kind of unsavoury situation that has affected fuel supply and subjected Nigerians to untold hardship.”
The minister condemned the situation in which some Nigerians, under the guise of the various unions in the oil and gas sector or sheer vandalisation, would continuously sabotage the country’s power infrastructure.
“The bitter truth is that for as long as these groups of Nigerians continue to sabotage the power infrastructure, Nigerians cannot enjoy a decent level of power supply. We therefore admonish all Nigerians who may be agitating for their rights in whatever form to refrain from any action that will further hurt the same people they claim to be protecting,” he added.
During the week, Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, had blamed Nigerians for sabotaging power infrastructure.
“On the issue of power, it seems Nigerians are their own problems. You can recall about four weeks ago, the power ministry came out to say that the megawatts we had was 5070, which is an all-time high in 16 years,” he said. “A few days after, some people blew installations in Bayelsa, we lost about 1600 megawatts immediately. After that, installation was blown in Delta and we lost another 1,000 megawatts. What would the government do in that kind of circumstance? “If the people who should be provided power are the ones sabotaging installations, they can’t turn round to say government is not providing power.
Nigerians need to determine what they want. If South Africa has about 50,000 megawatts, it is because their own people are not sabotaging their installations, they are not going to blow up the lines.
If Nigerians continue to blow up and sabotage, then they can’t come around to say that there is no power.”

Dasukigate: Jonathan, Metuh, Others Living On Blood Money – Senate Leader
Senate leader, Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume representing Borno South has called on the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to arrest former President Goodluck Jonathan, stating that beneficiaries of the siphoned $2.1 billion arms purchase fund are living on bloody money.
He made this assertion while addressing Journalists in Abuja adding that if the on-going anti-graft war by President Muhammdu Buhari must be seen to be a reality, the Commission should beam its searchlight on Jonathan.
Senator Ndume said, “As far as I am concerned, these people are living on blood money, the blood of so money innocent citizens of this country particularly from the North East.
No justice is too much for them, nobody is supposed to be spared. Because the case is judicial and I am not a lawyer to determine who should be brought to book, what I am saying is that justice should be served.
Over 10,000 people have lost their lives, at one time you could see my people were slaughtered like chickens and the reason why this happened was because our army was not equipped and not well kitted.
And somebody made away with the money meant for the procurement of arms and ammunition.
“I am not defending former President Jonathan, but he approved that this money be used for procurement of arms, so if the law says he should be part of those that should be held accountability or those that should face justice, I think nobody should be spared.
“If Olisah Metuh is using that as an excuse or a way to circumvent the law. I really don’t want to make comment on that but anybody that is involved in that blood money should be held responsible.
“If the former President approved that money in the name of buying arms while giving a directive that it should be shared among his cronies, then he should face the law. If anybody is supposed to buy arms and you gave them money to buy arms, as the president, after some time you should ask `where are the arms anyway’.
“Let me add and clearly that is my position, if because of this or any other criminality Jonathan should face the law, he should, I did, I am facing the law. Nobody is supposed to be above the law, if Jonathan is a culprit, he should face the law: if there is evidence that the former president should face the law then he should. After all he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.”
