I made a mistake coming at Wizkid --Skales

When Baseline artist, Skales, made an
appearance on Multi TV’s ‘Let’s Talk
Entertainment‘ programme.

The singer admitted he made a big mistake for
coming at his former EME label mate, Wizkid.

Skales revealed that he now sees himself
growing in the eyes of the public and also some
other people look up to him as a role model.

“That’s one of the mistakes I made and I feel
like I’m growing in the eyes of the public so
definitely, I know that you can never benefit from
things like that. So I’ve become a better person
now, I’m more grown now, I’ve realized that I’m
a role model, a lot of people look up to me and
so there’s some mistakes I cannot do,” Skales
Said.

Meanwhile, with the ongoing allegations of song
theft in the country, Skales said that he is so
certain that nobody can steal his intellectual
property and if anyone does, he will not spare
the fellow.

his account was hacked or something.

Buhari rejects devaluation of Naira

President Muhammadu Buhari declared late Wednesday in
Nairobi, Kenya, that he was yet to be convinced that Nigeria and
its people will derive any tangible benefit from an official
devaluation of the Naira.

Speaking at an interactive meeting with Nigerians living in
Kenya, President Buhari maintained that while export-
driven economies could benefit from devaluation of their
currencies, devaluation will only result in further inflation and
hardship for the poor and middle classes in Nigeria’s
import-dependent economy.

The president added that he had no intention of bringing further
hardship on the country’s poor who, he said, have suffered
enough already.

Likening devaluing the Naira to having it “killed”, President
Buhari said that proponents of devaluation will have to work
much harder to convince him that ordinary Nigerians will
gain anything from it.

The president also rejected suggestions that the Central
Bank of Nigeria should resume the sale of foreign exchange to
Bureaux de Change (BDCs), saying that the Bureau de
Change business had become a scam and a drain on the
economy.

“We had just 74 of the bureaux in 2005, now they have grown
to about 2,800,” President Buhari noted.

He alleged that some bank and government officials used
surrogates to run the BDCs and prosper at public expense by
obtaining foreign exchange from government at official
rates and selling it at much higher rates.

“We will use our foreign exchange for industry, spare parts and the development
of needed infrastructure.
“We don’t have the Dollars to give to the BDCs. Let them go and get it from wherever they can, other than the Central Bank,” President Buhari told the gathering.

The president reaffirmed his conviction that about a third of petroleum subsidy
payments under the previous
administration was bogus.

“They just stamped papers and collected our
foreign exchange,” he said.

The president appealed to Nigerians studying abroad to bear with his
administration as it strives to address the challenges they are facing as a result of new
foreign exchange measures.

He said that he was optimistic that the Nigerian economy will stabilize soon with
the efficient implementation of measures and policies that have been introduced by
his administration.

Nigeria Army commenced training for 600 soldiers

In order to ensure that soldiers live a comfortable
life after serving their father’s land, the Nigerian
Armed Forces Resettlement Centre (NAFRC),
Oshodi, has commenced training for over 600
soldiers.

The Nation reports that Commandant NAFRC, Air
Vice Marshal Mike Iloenyosi, on Thursday, January
28 told newsmen that the training was to ensure
retired military personnel have decent and
sustainable livelihood.

Iloenyosi, inaugurated the soldiers into the six
months pre-retirement course, disclosed that about
80% of the trainees were from the Nigerian Army,
adding that the vocational training institution was
set up to ensure smooth transition for retiring
military personnel.

He said the trainees will be equipped with skills
and trades that would enable them live a good life
after retirement. He noted that the centre does not
prepare officers for re-engagement in the military
after retirement, reiterating that the lectures the
trainees will receive are meant for profitable, self-
sustainability and easy integration into the civil
society.

“The training they get here is not to be redrafted for
active service. The essence of this course is to give
them vocational skills and entrepreneurial knowledge
to be able to manage their resources more efficiently,
as well as easily adapt to post – service life.

“These gallant soldiers have been in service for an
average of 35 years and so, redrafting them into
active or combat service is not the essence, rather, it
is for them to be adequately prepared to manage
their resources and package, so that if some of them
have cottage industry, for instance, they will be able
to run same well.

“You must call to mind that their capital base is
minimal and so, we are interested in their being able
to harness it through low capital budget ventures,”
he said.

Arms deal: Bank workers, PR consultant open up on deals with Oliseh Metuh.

A public relations consultant and prosecution
witness in the ongoing trial of the National
Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, Mr. Olayinka
Okunsanya, yesterday told a Federal High Court
how Destra Investment Limited, owned by Metuh
paid him N77.5 million to carry out publicity jobs
for the PDP.

Okusanya is the managing directors of CMC
Connect, a public relations consultant firm that is
into publicity, promotions, image management
and media-related services.

In his evidence in chief, the witness (PW6) said
Metuh, through Destra, paid him the money “for
jobs we did for the PDP.

He said: “In December 2014, Metuh, through
Destra, paid N7.5 million in cheques in my name
which was transferred to my company
“On December 15, 2014, he transferred N70
million through his company again after which we
commenced publicity work for the PDP.”

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) has arrainged Metuh on a seven-count
charge of money laundering to the tune of N400
million.

The anti-corruption agency alleged that he
received the money from the former National
Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki (retd), which
it claimed was part of the $2.1 billion meant for
the purchase of arms.

Another witness, Kabiru Ibrahim, a Bureau De
Change (BDC) operator, said he received $1
million from a previous witness, PW1, Nneka
Ararume.

In her testimony as PW1, Ararume, a staff of
Assets Resource Management Company (ARM)
and an investment officer to Metuh, said the
money was given to Ibrahim to sell.

Ibrahim told the court that he was called by PW1,
who gave him $1 million to sell at the rate of
N183 in early December 2014.

The money, totalling N183 million, was later
transferred to the account of Destra Investments
Limited, Olisa Metuh’s company.

He said he had never personally sold dollars to
Metuh at any point in time.

According to the witness, “She paid me in cash,
through my account with Diamond Bank and I
transferred the money to that account, Destra,”
The witness also said he never did anything
wrong in selling dollars to Ararume.

“I don’t know, I don’t have limit.”
Ibrahim also agreed that the huge fund transfer
he made was done legitimately by his bank,
Diamond Bank.

Meanwhile, a staff of Diamond Bank, Eno-Mfon
Effiong, who is also an account officer of the five
accounts belonging to Metuh and his company,
also told a Federal High Court how N400 million
was paid into the company’s account by the
Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).

The witness, who was testifying as prosecution
witness on Wednesday, said on November 24,
2014, the account of Destra Investments Limited
was credited with N400 million from the office of
the NSA under code CBN/CIFTS/MAT SEC ADBIS,
which in simple terms means that it is a credit
from the ONSA.

Metuh’s trial has been adjourned to February 4 at
the instance of his counsel.
