THE FRAME

The first argument in PBAT's presidency is the total removal of Petroleum Subsidies. Already heated debates have started on whether the New President should just announce that in his inaugural speech, meanwhile knowing fully how wicked Nigerians are.  One day into the Presidency, petroleum Marketers started hoarding the products thereby willingly shutting down their filling Stations to have a chance of price hiking.  Fuel scarcity is not a new thing in Nigeria, for decades, Nigerians are acquainted with the hardship of fuel scarcity due to excessive and massive corruption in the Petroleum industry. For years, the only three refineries owned by the government are not functioning properly, which resulted in another corrupt business of importing PMS, AGO and other petroleum products to cushion the lives of the citizens. But the negativity of such activity plunges the Country that happens to be rich in crude oil into uncertainty in the petroleum supply to c...

By Muwaffiq Fa'izu Saleh.  The 2023 elections are here and they came with a partially satisfying young talent amongst the Movers and Shakers of the polity more than any other political season since the advent of democracy in Nigeria. From the party leaders, delegates and aspirants/candidates in all the political parties. Though we (the youths) are far behind what we are aspiring for in youth participation, we are getting there by the day. Thanks to the "Not Too Young To Run Bill". It has made a positive impact on encouraging us to get involved. One of those talents is a young aspiring and promising, emerging leader in the person of Hon. Engr. Abdullahi Sirajo Jibrin. Coming out from the famous Jibrin family and descendants of the famous Mallam Muhammad Mai Zanko. These lineages dated back to 300 years of greatness and impact on Humanitarian gestures, job creation for the teeming populace, educational services to the community (both Islamic and western), and t...

QUEEN ELIZABETH II  The Queen's Ancestral lineage goes back to have a connection with Muslim.  Writer Abdelhamid Al-Aouni, who wrote the Moroccan article, states: "It builds a bridge between our two religions and kingdoms" It is thought that the Queen could be a descendant of a Muslim princess called Zaida, who was forced to flee her home town of Seville and eventually converted to Christianity. According to My London, Zaida was believed to be part of the ruling Abbasid Dynasty, which was founded in 1023 by Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abbas, a known descendant of Prophet Muhammad. Zaida is said to have converted to Christianity after supposedly becoming a concubine of King Alfonso VI of Castile and together they had a son called Sancho. It is said that a descendant of Zaida later married the Earl of Cambridge - a direct ancestor of the Queen. These findings were also published in 1986 by royal genealogy experts (Burke’s Peerage) However, ever since the claim was...

What is a Pi network? Developed in 2018 by a team of Stanford University graduates, the Pi network was invented with the goal to simplify access to cryptocurrency for the public. Pi crypto is introduced as easily mineable on any desktop or mobile device without the need to equip strong computers and the consumption of mass-energy. Network participants can play several roles including running a node on their personal computers, referring new members, or mining Pi coins on their phones. According to the Pi core team (PCT), during the beta stage of the project, the application works by simulating the mining process which will run properly when the Pi goes mainnet. Users take part in block validation and receive rewards in Pi coins.

By   Muwaffiq Fa'izu Saleh  Amb. Baba Sadique Abubakar is known to all as the master repositioner of the Nigerian Air force because he has made it far better prepared in combating multiple fronts of war and most importantly, he has made it more apolitical. He has succeeded in inculcating the indispensable values of excellence, integrity, and sincere service delivery in the force.  Further, into the successes he has recorded, one cannot pass without mentioning the provision of the much-needed leadership and necessary guidance for effective and efficient actions in curtailing the menace of the various terrorist groups in Nigeria.  It could be recalled that after taking over the mantle of command and control of the NAF, this great man altered positively the story of the force by gradually creating highly professional and disciplined men and officers via capacity building for effective, efficient, and timely employment of Airpower in responding to...
