Osinbajo:The Second Niger Bridge Is In Our Budget

The Vice President of Nigeria,  Prof Yemi Osinbajo was in Awka today to flag-off the APC campaign for the governorship candidate,  Tony Nwoye. The State governorship election comes up next month and here is what he said below. 

Osinbajo's speech 

I have come on behalf of Mr. President, many people know already that our President is a man who loves this State, and if you are looking for evidence that he loves this State, I am sure that you will not look very far.

The first time that he ran for President, his running mate was from this State, yes, Chief Chuba Okadigbo. The second time that he ran, his running mate was from this State also, Chief Ume-Ezeoke. So I want you to give Mr. President 3 Gbosas! (Crowd responds!)

The APC government is a government that will do everything it has promised. We are not making promises for nothing. The second Niger Bridge, we have been talking about it for a long time, but for the first time, the President went by himself to negotiate the facility to do that second Niger Bridge. That is why the second Niger Bridge is in our current budget and we have provided for it.

In fact, I am being reminded that just two days ago, the Sovereign Wealth Fund paid N2billion for that same project. (Sum paid to the contractor Julius Berger for early works) We will definitely see our second Niger Bridge, we will not make promises we cannot keep.

When we were talking about railways, Lagos – Calabar railway, under the old administration, I will not mention them by name, they said Lagos will go to Calabar, there was no connection to the Southeast. It was when President Muhammadu Buhari came, that we re-designed the Lagos – Calabar, in order to pass through Onitsha in the first place. That new design is what we also have- the Port Harcourt – Maiduguri railway, which has a connection to Umuahia, Owerri, Enugu, and Awka. So we will not make promises we cannot keep, we will keep our promises.

This State was the first to receive our Home-Grown School Feeding Programme, we gave this State money first for that programme. And we have already in 807 schools, here in Anambra State, fed young children in primary schools. We have over 103,000 children that are already being fed here in Anambra. The school feeding programme is an APC programme and we have engaged over a thousand cooks.

Also, we have our N-Power programme for young graduates. Already we have employed 4,518 young graduates and we intend to increase the number. We will not make any promise we cannot keep.

That is why I am so sure you will be making the right choice, you will be doing the right thing. How many people know that when you do the right thing, you will get the right result? One plus one is two not two and a half, two plus two is four not four and a half. If you make the right choice, you will get the right results.

When we made the right choice and voted the APC, we are getting the right results. By the grace of God, you in Anambra State will also get the right results.

So it is my very special pleasure now, to invite the National Chairman to present our flag, I am going to join him. The proper person to present the flag is our Chairman, so that it will be valid, because we don’t want any invalid presentation of our flag, and I will also accompany him and all of us here will accompany him.

He is set to answer to a three count charge of child molestation, four counts of sexual battery and five counts of child solicitation, as seen on the charging document. 

The Indiana Pastor of Rushville Baptist Temple was investigated after series of disturbing complaints by a local mother to higher authorities prompted the investigation which begun since September. 

The mother said she became worried her daughter may have been sexually abused by pastor but was still sceptical at first.

Kourtney Kardashian Reveals The One Appliance She Never Makes Use Of.

Kourtney Kardashian is unarguably a big brand in the entertainment but she Dosent settle for less especially when it involves her family.

The 37-year-old who has three children , has a very strict diet and she goes for organic, gluten-free and diary free foods as the choice of food in her home.while sugar and soda are simply a no no for her. One last thing she never uses.  Guess what? It's the microwave. Here's what she's got to say. 

“One kitchen appliance I never use is a microwave,” she writes on her app and website.

“If anything needs to be heated up, I prefer to use the oven, stovetop or toaster oven instead.”

The health wise advocate says she had to change a lot when she had her baby. “When I had Mason, I did a lot of health-related research and decided to get rid of my microwave when I read that toxins from plastic containers can be transferred to food when reheated (this applies to BPA-free plastic containers too),” Kourtney says.

Even swapping out plastic containers for glass and stainless steel didn’t do it for her.  “I didn’t want to risk having something reheated in plastic when I wasn’t around,” she adds.

A lot of people can't do without the microwave because it's gets your food hot in no time and always seems reliable. But the producer of the KUWTK has a different view and prefers the toasters instead. She says. 

“It only takes a few more minutes and the toaster oven heats food evenly (whereas microwaves can sometimes heat food unevenly, so some parts are scorching hot and others are cold, which is obviously a concern for babies and children),” she says.

“Also, I’ve heard that microwaves can leach nutrients from food and use radiation to heat food,” she continued. “I’m not sure how accurate this is, but when it comes to my family I play it safe.”

The police chief said police officers must embrace the risks in their job and review the security priorities accordingly.

“Our officers have to be concerned about their personal safety first because this issue is becoming an embarrassment,” Mr. Idris said at a meeting with state commissioners in Abuja Wednesday.

Commissioners would also be held “liable for any policeman that is just picked up like a fowl or anything, it is very annoying.”

It's now becoming a trend as Emmanuel Adeniyi, Zamfara State Assistant Commissioner of Police, found himself in this entangled position just last month. He, his orderly and family members were kidnapped in Kaguna state while on transit to Kwara state.
