Suya is a Northern Nigerian delight that has become a delicacy that is
consumed all over the country. It knows no ethnicity, no religion and no
tribe. This said, one thing you may have observed is that this street
food is usually prepared in the evening. Why not in the morning or
afternoon? Well, whoever, decided to kick off the preparation of Suya in
the evening must be a genius because the marketing strategy is working.
You find Nigerians buying Suya at this time. Accordingly, Jumia Travel,
the leading online travel agency shares 5 reasons why Suya is prepared
in the evening.
It more attractive in the evening
When
you returning from in the evening and you see the mallam or Aboki the
fire of the suya blazing in the very busy or hectic evening. There is no
way you will not be attracted or tempted to buy. Even when you didn’t
plan to buy, you will.
It is when Nigerians hang out and relax
It
is in the evening that most Nigerians hang out and relax. That is when
they are close from work. Some don’t go home straight away. They hang
out at your favorite hotel bar in Lagos with friends, and if there is a
Suya spot around, they buy. If you setup in the afternoon, very few
people will patronize you. You will be forced to move your suya business
to the evening.
It is very tasty at that time
Suya
is very tasty normally. But there is no way you can compare afternoon
suya with evening suya, they are not mates. The warm evening weather,
the stress of work and traffic all combine to make you savor the taste
of suya. It is very yummier!!!

NIGERIA IS IN FREE FALL AND FREE FOR ALL - PERRY BRIMAH
Let’s be candid, Buhari currently knows only one subject: fighting
Boko Haram. That’s all he appears to still be in good command of, and
that, we admit with reservations. With due respect, if today Secretary
to the Government SGF Babachir Lawal was to tell the president, “Sir,
good news, out of six we only lost half-a-dozen,” I do not think
president Buhari would have the patience to realize he just got played.
We must be real with ourselves here, it is our lives at stake. Indeed
Buhari has admitted to his weaknesses himself so why should we still be
in denial. “I have age and military background behind me,” Buhari said,
“Osinbajo has youth and intellectual capacity.” Age is not necessarily a
merit especially when it comes to governing a NIGERIA. And the
medically certified global functioning depreciations of age are rapidly
complicated and aggravated by the stress and toil of chronic ailment.
Old school military skills is what we have left and this important
problem is telling on the nation. Astute critic, or better put, adviser
Junaid Mohammed earlier this month said “the Buhari presidency is dead.”
Let’s just be kind and say it is weak.

The clergy man was said to have travelled from Rwika Village, Mbeere South sub-county with his followers.
On arrival at Gakwegori funeral at 8am, he asked the mortuary attendants to remove his wife’s body from the morgue and put it in an open place for prayers.

FG TO GRANT INCENTIVES TO INVESTORS IN A BID TO RESUSTICATE THE ECONOMY
The Federal Government will grant incentives to encourage investment
in the priority sectors listed in the recently released Economic
Recovery and Growth Plan.
Minister of Budget and National Planning, Sen. Udoma Udo Udoma, said in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, James Akpandem.
Udoma gave the assurance in Abuja when he received the Japanese Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Sadanobu Kusaoke in his office.
He said the plan focused on achieving macroeconomic stability, transforming agriculture, driving sufficiency in energy, improving transportation infrastructure and growing industrialization with attention on small and medium scale enterprises.
According to him, implementation is paramount in the realization of the plan’s objectives, therefore attention will be on prioritizing the identified strategies and establishing a clear system of accountability.
He said attention would also be given to allocate resources to prioritized interventions, creating an enabling policy and regulatory environment and developing an effective monitoring and evaluation system to track progress.
The Plan, he explained, would be driven by some fundamental principles, including a focus on tackling constraints to growth.
He said it would also be driven by leveraging the power of the private sector and promoting national cohesion and social inclusion as well as allowing markets to function.

Personal Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has described the Nigerian senate as “clowns” who have turned itself into a chamber that works with blackmail.

WRONG MEDICATION KILLS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ANUALLY - WHO
Medication errors kill and injure millions of people while an
estimated 42 billion dollars is lost annually, the World Health
Organisation (WHO) said, on Wednesday.
Director-General of WHO, Margaret Chan, at a new campaign, “ Global Patient Safety Challenge on Medication Safety,’’ said that medicines should fulfil their real purpose to help people and not harm them.
Chan said the campaign was seeking to reduce severe and avoidable medication-associated damage across the globe by half over the next five years.
“According to estimates, the global cost associated with medication errors has been estimated at 42 billion dollars annually or almost one per cent of total global health expenditure.
“In terms of impact on the health of people, for instance in the United States, medication errors cause at least one death every day and injure approximately 1.3 million people annually,” she said.
The WHO chief added: “We all expect to be helped, not harmed, when we take medication.

Nigerian Pop Star TEKNO to Break In North America?
Last year, the Nigerian star Tekno heard an instrumental that reminded him of his breakout hit, "Duro." Though the producer, Krizbeatz, was planning to send the beat elsewhere, Tekno asked to take a crack at it. "Then I went upstairs and ate the beat up," the singer tells Billboard. "The feeling I had when I recorded that? I fell in love with my own song like it wasn't mine."
That single, titled "Pana," has gone on to entrap other listeners the same way it conquered its creator, accumulating 30 million streams between YouTube and Spotify. Veterans like Trey Songz and Ludacris have posted clips of themselves listening to the song on Instagram, and "Pana" also caught the attention of Imran Majid, senior vice president of A&R at Columbia, who signed the track and re-released it in December.
Tekno's connection with Columbia is the latest step forward in an inch-by-inch acknowledgement of the commercial viability of Nigerian pop in the U.S. Most of those steps have come via collaborations sprinkled over the last five years -- P-Square and Rick Ross, D'banj and Kanye West, Davido and Meek Mill, Wizkid and Major Lazer, Wizkid and R. Kelly. Nigerian-born Ayo Jay had a minor hit with "Your Number" last year, which got some attention when Fetty Wap appeared on one remix, and Chris Brown and Kid Ink on another. The best-known recent example of a Nigerian-Western team-up is Drake's "One Dance," which included Wizkid. Wizkid is now signed to RCA -- also the home of Davido and Ayo Jay -- with an album due out on the label this summer.
PRESIDENTIAL GOLF BREAKS: GOOD FOR AMERICA
On March 27, CNN reports, US president Donald Trump left the White
House for a day at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, his 13th
trip to one of the numerous golf courses he owns. The implication of the
media’s mild obsession with his trips is that Trump is wasting time
playing cow pasture pool when he should be attending to the duties of
his office.
Former president Barack Obama came in for similar criticism from Republicans — including Donald Trump — over the 333 rounds of golf he played as president according to Golf News Net. That averages 41 outings per year, or one every nine days.
Personally, I don’t see the problem. I wish Obama had played more golf, and I’d be happy to see Trump spend seven days a week on the links.

HEALTH ALERT: SICKLE CELL ANEMIA A SILENT KILLER
Raipur, Chhattisgarh - Thirty-three-year-old Ramnath Sahu looks visibly distressed. The day before, his four-year-old son, Kuldeep, was diagnosed with sickle cell - a hereditary disease affecting the red blood cells.
"Don't worry my child, nothing will happen to you," says Kuldeep's 54-year-old grandmother, Ramvati Bai, as she caresses the boy in front of their home in the village of Akola, in Bemetara district.
Kuldeep's seven-year-old brother, Harsh, was diagnosed with the disease last year.
According to a 2013 report by the Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Medical College in the state's capital, Raipur, 10 percent of Chhattisgarh's population is affected by the disease, with the state's indigenous tribal population disproportionately affected.
INSURGENCY: ABUBAKAR SHEKAU STILL ALIVE - MINISTER OF DEFENCE
The Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan Ali, has declared that the
wanted leader of the Boko Haram terrorist group, Abubakar Shekau, is
still alive and hiding in his fortress in Sambisa Forest.
He said that Shekau wears masks to evade being captured by security operatives.
Before the minister’s declaration on Tuesday that Shekau is alive,
the military authorities had maintained that the Boko Haram leader had
been killed by troops.
Ali said that Shekau’s tactics notwithstanding, the fugitive
would be eventually caught, especially as the military had decimated
the core of the forest, which served as the communication and spiritual
base of the insurgent group that has killed and maimed thousands of
Nigerians over a six-year orgy of violence.
Ali spoke to journalists after he met with President Muhammadu
Buhari in a closed-door security briefing at the State House, Abuja.
IPOB: SENATORS MOVES FOR THE RELEASE OF NNAMDI KANU
A group of Senators have initiated moves in the Upper House to
secure the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous Peoples of
Biafra (IPOB), Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, and former National Security Adviser
(NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd).
The Senators plan to invoke the relevant orders and rules of the
Senate to compel the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mallam
Abubakar Malami, to direct the immediate release of Kanu and Dasuki.
Their argument is that if Malami could order the
Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Col. Hameed
Ali (rtd) not to honour the summons of the Senate because of a court
injunction, the Executive arm of government has no moral justification
to disobey the court ruling on Kanu and Dasuki.
The first attempt by the leader of the Concerned Senator Mohammed
Ali Ndume had on Tuesday last week alleged the importation of the
vehicle by Saraki with fake documents.
PRESIDENCY: NEW MINISTERIAL NOMINEE LIST SENT TO SENATE
President Muhammadu Buhari has sent names of two new ministerial nominees to the Senate for confirmation, the News Agency of Nigeria reports
A source close to the Senate told a NAN correspondent that the letter arrived the Senate late Tuesday.
The source revealed that the two nominees are from Kogi and Gombe states.
Our correspondent gathered that the Kogi nominee will be replacing the late Minister of State for Labor, Barr. James Ocholi while the nominee from Gombe would be replacing former Minister for Environment Ms Amina Mohammed who had gone to serve in the United Nations as a deputy Secretary General.
NIGERIA RANKED 6TH HAPPIEST COUNTRY IN AFRICA
By Yemisi Adegoke
The World Happiness Report (WHR) is out and it turns out Nigerians still seem quite happy.
The report, which
ranks 155 countries by their happiness, ranked Nigerians as the 6th
happiest people in Africa and the 95th happiest in the world. I guess it
shouldn't come as a big surprise as Nigeria has a long history of being
happy. Or as Fela put it, 'Suffering and Smiling.'
In 2003 the World
Values Survey revealed that the world's happiest people lived in
Nigeria. The study, which was carried out over a period of three years,
reported that Nigeria beat more than 65 countries to claim the top spot.
In 2012, a Gallup poll revealed that Africans were the world's most
optimistic people. In Nigeria specifically, 88% of people were
optimistic about their futures.

Peter Tenkwa, Controller of the Adamawa State Command of the Nigeria
Prison Service, has disowned the “mystery medical report” used by a Yola
High Court in granting bail to convicted ex-Governor of the state, Bala
Ngilari, on health grounds.
Justice Nathan Musa of Yola High Court on Monday granted bail to
Ngilari, currently in the prison for a five-year jail sentence, on
health grounds, after he appealed against his conviction.

the contentious letter and that he had communicated same to the prison
headquarters.
He said the headquarters directed him to issue a query to officials
involved in the matter, including the Deputy Controller of Yola Prison,
Abubakar Abaka, and a Superintendent of Prisons, John Bukar, in charge
of health.

Magu: Leaked SSS report vindicates us – Nigerian Sen
The leaked report of the State Security Service to the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has vindicated the Senate on its repeated rejection of Ibrahim Magu as substantive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, its spokesperson said.
The SSS report, leaked on Friday, was a response to Mr. Malami’s request that the security agency back its earlier allegations of integrity deficiency against Mr. Magu with documented evidence.
According to the report, the SSS dispatched 12 documents to Mr. Malami, including 11 that tried to link Mr. Magu with Mohammed Umar, a retired air commodore on trial for money laundering and illicit possession of firearms, and one on how he was “severely reprimanded” by the police after official documents of the EFCC were found in his private residence.
POLICE DEPLOYED TO SOUTHERN KADUNA LAMENTS FOR LACK OF WEAPONS AND WELFARE
Members of the unit, trained in Belarus, were drafted to check the persistent clashes between herdsmen and residents of Southern Kaduna communities.
But many told PREMIUM TIMES exclusively that their operational condition had become so unbearable that they now rely on extorting motorists in the area to survive.
“Before we eat now, we need to be tapping vehicles for N50 and N100,” one of them said. “Imagine, we special forces that are not supposed to be seen anyhow.”
Asides the poor living conditions they are subjected to, the officers, who spoke on the condition of strict anonymity, also alleged being poorly equipped to bring the situation in the restive Southern Kaduna under control.
