2019 presidency: Buhari again fails to submit school certificates as Atiku presents credential, declares income

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, President Muhammadu Buhari, has again failed to submit his credentials to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Buhari’s Secondary School certificate controversy made the headlines in 2015 when he entered the race for Nigeria’s number one seat, a position he won amid all odds.
The various candidates’ credentials were made available to reporters in Abuja on Thursday and President Buhari only submitted an affidavit where he claimed that his credentials were with the Secretary of the Military Board.
Buhari said in his affidavit, “I am the above-named person and the deponent of this affidavit herein. All my academic qualification documents as filled in my Presidential form, APC/001/2015 are currently with the Secretary of the Military Board as of the time of this affidavit.”
However, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku submitted all relevant documents, with a Diploma in Law in 1969 from the Ahmadu Bello University being his highest qualification.
Atiku also represented his tax returns indicating that he had paid N10.8m in tax from 2015 to 2017.
He also declared his income within the period as N60.2m.

Street named after Tuface Idibia in Kenya

Last Updated: 1 hour ago Tuface Idibaia is currently in Kenya with his beautiful wife, Annie Idibia. The couple seems to be having a great time in the country. Photos of the duo have been surfacing on line since their arrival in Kenya. Though he is there for a show, but a little relaxation is also cool, just like a little get away. Kenyans seems to be in love with the Ace singer, as they decided to name a street after him and calls it, ‘Innocent Idibia Street.’ This is actually a great achievement for the living legend, as he gets honoured and appreciated in this manner. Having a street named after someone is a form of respect that shows how much that individual is loved and respected. No doubt Tubaba is loved and respected in Nigeria, but no street in Nigeria has been named after him. Isn't this a shame to our country? Just like the saying goes, 'a prophet is not known in his home' is exactly what played out, our own is been valued more outside the cou...

Guess who is talking with Cleveland Cavaliers...Dwayne Wade!

 Imagine an NBA defence trying to stop a driving Kyrie Irving and Dwayne Wade , while LeBron James is free to roam in and out of the paint. Although somewhat far-fetched, the possibility is not out of the question.   Despite being offered the $20 million annually he was seeking, from the Miami Heat , Wade is chatting up the Cleveland Cavaliers . Huffington Post sports columnist Jordan Schultz reported the news. "League source: Dwayne Wade in preliminary talks with #Cavs to reunite with LeBron. Talks still early," Schultz tweeted. Wade, 34, is scheduled to meet with the Milwaukee Bucks Wednesday. There could be bad blood between the 12-time All-Star and the organization he has spent 13 seasons with. His wife, Gabrielle Union, alluded to that with a tweet last week saying: "When u waiting for a text/email/skywriting and nada... thanks for being crystal clear." The Heat was silent with Wade as it pursued free agent big-fish Kevin...
