Reno called him a traitor who lacks integrity for contesting against his benefactor and accuser the firmer VP of not handling his position well.

His statement didn't go well with a lot of people and they came for him. @Malcominfiniti said, “Reno and who are you to talk about integrity? You are worse than Yemi Osinbajo” @retweet_repostz said, “This is the usual Reno Ozuor we all know. The biggest traitor of all times. The one and only ass licker. Hypocrite. You not qualified to even mention Osinbajo’s name.”

PS: Was Osibanjo a traitor? #Osibanjo #RenoOmokri

President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima have been quite the globetrotters in their first 17 months in office. They've embarked on an impressive 41 trips, spanning across 26 countries, and spent a combined total of 180 days - equivalent to six whole months. on international engagements . To break it down further, President Tinubu has been on 29 trips, visiting 16 countries and accumulating 124 days abroad, with over 127 flight hours under his belt. That's some serious mileage.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is taking significant steps to enhance accountability, transparency, and effectiveness in Nigeria through its State Accountability, Transparency and Effectiveness (State2State) project. Recently, they organized a comprehensive three-day workshop focused on Adamawa State's Internal Control Manual and Self-Assessment Tool.

The primary goal of this workshop was to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to effectively implement the Internal Control Manual and leverage the Self-Assessment Tool. This would ultimately lead to improved governance, increased efficiency, and better service delivery in Adamawa State.

The State2State project aims to increase accountability, transparency, and effectiveness in targeted states and local governments in Nigeria. To achieve this, the project focuses on

China Unveils A Train On Magnetic Levitation Capable Of Reaching 1000 Km/h. China has introduced a magnetic levitation train that can achieve speeds of 1000 km/h, following successful tests conducted in a vacuum tube. This innovative technology is set to transform future transportation systems, as reported by the railway news portal Railway Supply.

The new high-speed train, developed by CASIC, has demonstrated its capabilities in a vacuum environment that minimizes friction and enhances efficiency. This advancement could potentially replace airplanes for shorter routes, offering speeds that exceed current expectations. The ultimate goal is to reach theoretical speeds of up to 4000 km/h.

**Impact of High-Speed Magnetic Levitation Trains on Global Transportation**

This breakthrough is expected to significantly alter transportation networks both in China and around the world. However, the main challenges lie in the infrastructure and energy costs necessary for its full implementation.

Establishing magnetic levitation trains will require costly low-vacuum tunnels, which demand substantial resources and space, making construction difficult in densely populated areas. Additionally, the existing railway infrastructure is not compatible with the maglev system, necessitating the development of an entirely new network. This will substantially increase both construction and operational expenses compared to traditional rail systems.

Despite the high initial costs, magnetic levitation trains have the potential to significantly lower carbon emissions.

Governor Mbah Flags Off Tractor Assembly Plant In Enugu On Tuesday, Dr. Peter Mbah, the Governor of Enugu State, inaugurated the construction of the Nortra Tractor Assembly Plant and Service Centre, a project backed by the ODK Group from Denmark, in Enugu city.

On the same day, the governor also launched the New-Watson Doors Industry, established by a Chinese company in Nachi, Enugu State. While inaugurating the Nortra Tractors Plant and Service Centre, Governor Mbah emphasized that this initiative is a crucial part of his administration's goal to elevate the state's economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion.

"What we are doing today is not just a symbolic gesture; it is a significant step towards realizing our vision of having at least 1,000 tractors in Enugu State by next year. "We have always envisioned Enugu as a prime destination for investors. However, we understand that this will not happen merely by wishing for it. That is why today’s event demonstrates our commitment to making Enugu an attractive place for investment. We have also placed an order for at least 1,000 tractors, which we aim to produce through this assembly plant.

"While it would have been simpler to order 1,000 fully assembled tractors, we recognized that this approach lacked long-term value. Therefore, we are initially importing 200 assembled tractors, while the remaining 800 will be manufactured right here in Enugu State. "Moreover, initiatives like the one we are launching with Nortra not only create job opportunities but also contribute to the overall development of the region

US Election: Post-Election Unrest Looms As Intel Report Warns US To Be Ready For Adversaries Actions A newly declassified report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) warns that U.S. adversaries may attempt to exploit post-election tensions following the upcoming November 5 presidential election.

The report highlights the likelihood that foreign actors will try to undermine confidence in the election results, incite unrest, and possibly support candidates they favor, even after the polls have closed. According to the ODNI assessment, adversaries such as Russia, China, and Iran may use a range of tactics, including misinformation campaigns, cyberattacks, and social media manipulation, to erode public trust in the electoral process and fuel political divisions within the country.

These efforts could aim to delegitimize the outcome of the election or promote narratives that align with their strategic interests. The report underscores the ongoing threat posed by foreign interference in U.S. elections, building on concerns that emerged during previous election cycles.

The ODNI’s findings come as federal and state agencies work to safeguard election integrity and counter any potential disinformation or interference that could disrupt the post-election period. PS: Can US avert the plans of its adversary?

Governor Bala Mohammed finally Supports Umar Damagum as the National Chairman to Avoid Party Collapse and Nigeria Becoming a One Party Country Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, who also serves as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors' Forum, has made a significant U-turn in his stance regarding the party’s acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum.

Previously, Mohammed had been pushing for Damagum's replacement and advocating for a national convention to elect new leadership. However, at a PDP stakeholders meeting on Tuesday, October 23, Mohammed officially recognized Damagum’s leadership, signaling a shift toward party unity.

This change comes after a faction aligned with Mohammed had attempted to block the PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from moving forward with a planned National Executive Council (NEC) meeting through a court order. Despite earlier efforts to disrupt the leadership, Mohammed’s support for Damagum at the meeting demonstrated a more cooperative approach to addressing the internal crisis within the PDP.

The governor emphasized that the party must remain vigilant and not allow Nigeria to become a one-party state, reaffirming his commitment to strengthening the PDP's position. This development is seen as an effort to ease tensions wiv athin the party and project a more unified front.
PS: Do you see PDP getting stronger with this action of his?

House of Assembly Wants to Create a New State in Southwest; Oyo to be divided. The House of Representatives is advancing a bill that seeks to split Oyo State into two distinct entities: Oyo State and Ibadan State.

This constitutional amendment bill, sponsored by Akeem Adeyemi, son of the late Alaafin of Oyo, along with six other federal lawmakers, has passed its second reading. The proposed division would create a new Oyo State, with Oyo town as its capital, and Ibadan State, which would retain Ibadan as its capital.

This move is part of the ongoing constitutional amendments and reflects growing advocacy for decentralizing governance in large states like Oyo. The potential creation of these two states is seen as a way to improve administrative efficiency, political representation, and the distribution of resources across the southwest region. The proposal is still under review, and further legislative procedures are required before any final decision can be made.

PS: Should this be allowed to happen? Won't it cost the government more?

FG to Sanction 8 States and Governors Over Non Compliance With LG Autonomy The federal government of Nigeria is planning to sanction eight state governors over their failure to conduct local government elections and implement local government financial autonomy in line with a Supreme Court judgment.

This action, as announced by Lateef Fagbemi, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, comes as these states are unlikely to meet the federal government’s October 31 deadline. The Supreme Court ruling mandates that local governments receive their financial allocations directly from the federation account, bypassing state governments.

The affected governors and their states are:
-Dapo Abiodun (Ogun State)
Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa State)
Dauda Lawal (Zamfara State)
Governor Aiyedatiwa (Ondo State)
Ademola Adeleke (Osun State)
Umar Dikko Radda (Katsina State)
Bassey Otu (Cross River State)
Alex Otti (Abia State)

These sanctions aim to enforce compliance with the court's decision and strengthen local government autonomy by ensuring that funds reach them without interference from the state governments.
PS: Is this a good move by the FG?

Workers celebrate sack of Uju Kennedy as Women Affairs minister A viral video making the rounds on social media depicts a group of employees from the Ministry of Women Affairs celebrating on Wednesday evening after the announcement of Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye's removal as minister in President Bola Tinubu's cabinet.

The footage shows the workers expressing joy, suggesting a shared sense of relief or happiness about the leadership change.
This celebration prompts inquiries into the internal dynamics of the ministry and reflects the staff's feelings towards Kennedy-Ohanenye's time in office. In a video posted on X by Abubakar Sidiq Usman, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the workers are seen dancing and cheering in the hallways of their office.

Chants of "finally" can be heard as they rejoice over the minister's departure. Kennedy-Ohanenye was in charge of the ministry until President Tinubu removed her on Wednesday as part of a cabinet reshuffle. She was one of five ministers dismissed during the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, alongside Lola Ade-John, Minister of Tourism; Jamila Bio Ibrahim, Minister of Youth Development; Tahir Mamman, Minister of Education; and Abdullahi Muhammad Gwarzo, Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development

Israel has announced the death of Hashem Safieddine, who was seen as a potential successor to the assassinated Hezbollah leader, following a strike in a southern suburb of Beirut three weeks ago. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed Safieddine's elimination on Tuesday, stating that he and Ali Hussein Hazima, the Commander of Hezbollah's Intelligence Headquarters, were killed during an operation targeting Hezbollah’s main intelligence center in Dahieh.

According to the announcement, Safieddine was a member of the Shura Council, Hezbollah's highest military-political body, which is responsible for making decisions and setting policies for the organization. He was also the cousin of Hassan Nasrallah, the former leader of Hezbollah, and held considerable sway in the group's decision-making processes. When Nasrallah was not in Lebanon, Safieddine acted as the Secretary-General of Hezbollah. Over the years, he was involved in orchestrating terrorist attacks against Israel and played a key role in Hezbollah's central decision-making.

In addition to Safieddine, Ali Hussein Hazima, who led Hezbollah's Intelligence Headquarters and was responsible for planning numerous attacks on Israeli Defense Forces soldiers, was also killed in the strike.

Church has to be dismantled in Nigeria – Peter Obi

Peter Obi, who is running for president under the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, said that in Nigeria, politics and the church need to be taken apart. He talked about this on the Honest Bunch Podcast with Nedu. He thinks that politics and church are interesting but should be taken apart, and night vigils should become night shifts so that people can work more.

He stated that combining politics and religion is appealing, but it needs to be changed. He proposed converting night vigils into night shifts to increase productivity. He attends church and has faith in God, but he believes that people cannot spend their mornings and evenings at church from Monday to Friday. "When I walk home, I only see signs for churches. If you go East, all you see are graves and that's not a good place." Peter Obi criticized a video circulating online showing undernourished kids appearing in court for taking part in the #EndBadGovernance demonstrations. The kids appeared in front of a federal high court in Abuja for ten charges related to treason.

During the hearing, some of them started fainting, causing a bit of a scene. The suspects have been in jail since August when the protests happened and they got arrested. Obi said the situation was worrisome. He argued that the children appeared to be poorly taken care of while in custody. The ex-governor of Anambra State stated that suspects should be treated respectfully, as the law sees them as innocent until proven guilty in court. He asked the judge to stop what he called a shameful situation.

Once You Are More Than 7 Years Old You Can Be Charged To Court” - Police PRO

The spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stated that individuals under the age of seven cannot be prosecuted in court. He explained that anyone over the age of seven can face charges if they are found to have committed an offense. Adejobi made these comments during an interview with Channels TV in response to public concerns regarding the prosecution of 67 minors in Abuja for alleged treason and vandalism during the End Bad Governance protests.

In the interview, he clarified, "Those who are not criminally responsible under the law are those below the age of seven. Once you turn seven, you can be charged in court, although there are specific procedures to follow. None of the minors in question are under seven; the youngest is likely 13. Being 13 does not exempt you from being charged in court. According to the Children and Young Persons Act, we can still bring charges against you.

We have initiated legal proceedings against them on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria. The police are taking decisive action

According to a so-called Nostradamus of presidential elections, Kamala Harris is set to defeat Donald Trump and become the first female president.

The current polls are close, and many are considered unreliable. Reports suggest that the betting markets are manipulated. So, who should voters trust when trying to predict the outcome of the presidential election on November 5: Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump? Allan Lichtman, who has accurately predicted every presidential election since 1984 except one, is standing by his earlier prediction made months ago, despite unfavorable polling for Harris at the time.

Lichtman stated that Harris will win against Trump on Tuesday. He previously predicted Trump’s victory in 2016 when most polls favored Hillary Clinton and forecasted Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in 2020, as reported by USA Today. “Nothing has changed to alter my prediction from September 5, despite the polls,” Lichtman mentioned in a YouTube video. A historian at American University, Lichtman based his September prediction of Harris's victory on a series of true-or-false questions, referred to as “keys,” regarding the candidates rather than on current polling data.

Regarding the midterm elections, he noted, “The Democrats performed better than anticipated in 2022, but they still lost House seats, making that key false.” On incumbency, he remarked, “Biden's decision to withdraw from the race cost the Democrats this key, which is also false. If Biden had remained in the race, they could have retained that key.

Challenger Charisma "While some view Donald Trump as a deity, his appeal is limited to a small group, making that statement accurate." Lichtman noted that eight of the "keys" were considered "true" for Harris and had not changed since September. Three were classified as "false," which worked in Trump's favor: the ruling party gained seats in the House during the 2022 midterms, the incumbent president is seeking reelection, and Harris was not seen as a particularly charismatic candidate. The outcome of foreign policy was uncertain and could be crucial.
