If you have opportunity to legally relocate abroad, do it - Presidency fuels 'japa' wave

The presidency encourages Nigerians to take a shot at relocating abroad if a legal opportunity makes itself available.

Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari made this known on Sunday, November 27 in a chat with Channels Television.

If you have opportunity to legally relocate abroad, do it - Presidency fuels 'japa' wave

According to the presidential aide, the mindset of relocating abroad is common among citizens from Third-World countries over the belief that it's greener elsewhere other than their country.

"The average Nigerian had always wanted to leave. And it is not just in Nigeria. It is in most countries of the world, particularly in the third world," Femi Adesina stated.

They always believe that it is greener on the other side. You see, the truth is that if you have an opportunity to better yourself in any part of the world, there is nothing wrong with it. If you think migrating legally is good for you, all well and good. By all means, go!"

But you cannot now say that because people are leaving, then it is a sign that something is fundamentally wrong. There are Nigerians who would never leave the country no matter how things are."

Ramadan: Respect Muslims and do not eat in public during fasting hours — Cleric tells Nigerians

 Ramadan: Respect Muslims don't eat in public during fasting hours — Cleric tells Nigerians  The Chief Imam, Falomo Lagos Central Mosque, Dr Tajudeen Adebayo, said the public should respect the sensibility of the fasting Muslim faithful by avoiding eating in their presence. Adebayo said that eating in public during the hours of fasting debases the sensibility of those fasting and could discourage people from the self-denial ritual. The Cleric spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Thursday, against the backdrop of some Muslims that were caught eating when they should be fasting. It was reported that Hisbah, the Islamic Police, on Wednesday in Kano arrested 10 men and a female groundnut vendor for allegedly eating in public during the hours of fasting.

Osun State Primary School Feeding Programme: How Governor Adeleke's govt stopped free meals in public schools

Osun State Primary School Feeding Programme: How Governor Adeleke's govt stopped free meals in public schools in osun. 30 days after, vendors, pupils await govt's next move *By Waheed Adekunle* Saying nothing is working in Osun State since the inception of Governor Ademola Adeleke's government is to say the obvious, judging from the palpable woes and decadence that is enveloping every stratum of the economy in the state, in the last fifteen months. There is a philosophical cliche that says, "a house built with saliva will definitely collapse by the dews" - this is a typical aphorism to illustrate the feeble, discrepant and deceptive leadership under the present administration led by Governor Ademola Adeleke in Osun State. It is now over a month that the newly-recruited Osun food vendors had vacated their places of primary assignment and stopped providing meals to the pupils in all the public schools across the state as government kept mute and turned deaf ears to
