FALZ GOES TO PSYCHIATRIST

                                 The House of Representatives on Thursday frowned at a plan by the federal government to built 40 houses for top Federal Government officials at a cost of N3billion. While former President Olusegun Obasanjo started a policy, where housing and car incentives to civil servants are monetised, the House therefore queried the change of policy by the present administration, arguing that the initial programme may have been jettisoned without due process. This was the position of the Herman Hembe-led House Committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT) during its 2016/2017 budget session with the Ministry of FCT. Hembe said, “When government comes up with a policy, it should follow it up. When you begin to build houses for ministers, permanent secretaries and directors, are they above the members of the National Assembly? “If you want to move for monetisation, it should be complete. I think it was wrong to sell the houses in the first place.

                                        The Presidency has refuted claims in some quarters that President Muhammadu Buhari will no longer return to his London doctors for follow-up but will instead bring them down to Nigeria to attend to him. This was made known by the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, during an interview with journalists on Thursday. Shehu, who was asked to comment on the news of the possibility of the President’s London doctors coming down to Nigeria for fellow-ups, said it was not true. He instead said the President will return to London, but refused to be specific on when that would be. “It is false news. We are not aware of the reported advance movements. The last time the President spoke about this, he said he would return to his doctors after some time. We are not aware that this has changed,” Shehu said. Soon after his arrival to Nigeria after a 49-day medical vacation in the United Kingdom,

DINO MELAYE  Dino Melaye In 2015 Dino Melaye has become the member of Nigerian Senate from the Kogi West Senatorial District. Formerly he was House of Representatives’ member and opposed President Jonathan Goodluck ruling, calling his government the most corrupt one in Nigeria. He was the governor of the Kogi State. At the same time, Melaye’s political career was not spared of scandals and accusations. He states that his income is related to real-estate and social work. He does not consider himself rich. At this, his Twitter account revealed people the level of life he has. He’s got a large mansion, a Harley Davidson bike and… $200 000 worth Lamborghini! That is way over the average level of life for the majority of Nigerians. Still, many consider him to be the human rights activist of Nigeria. This claim is highly controversial. In the past Dino Melaye had a misfortune to offend the ruling PDP party. That is why he shifted to the other side and created an opposition to Goodluck’s
