President Buhari says Nigeria is paying for messed up economy

President Muhammadu Buhari has described the current economic problem in Nigeria as the result of a mismanaged economy in past years.

The President stressed that the country and her past administrators refused saving for the current situation, thus, mismanaging high revenue that accrued from oil in the past decade.

Buhari made this known to the public during his speech when the Chief Global CEO of Unilever, Mr Paul Polman, paid him a courtesy visit at the State House in Abuja on Monday, June 27, 2016.

In his words,”We refused to save for the rainy day. Now the rain is beating us. No money, no savings, nothing. And we are thoroughly wet from the rains.”

“We want to create jobs, and supporting manufacturing is one way to do it. As soon as we have stabilized our budget, I would personally be interested in the manufacturing sector, particularly in the generation of essential raw materials,” the President said.

However, the President assured that the Federal Government would fast-track the implementation of strategies to ease doing business and attract more investors into Nigeria.

Read What Toke Makinwa Singer has to say about cheating cycle

Media personality, Toke Makinwa covers the latest edition of Glam Africa Magazine. In it she talks about having a member of the opposite sex as a best friend and second chances.

According to her, having a member of the opposite sex as a best friend can’t work as feelings would start to creep in at some point.

 
The OAP who recently filed for divorce from her husband, Maje Ayida after he got his mistress pregnant, believes that a couple can come back from infidelity if they are both willing to work on it.

She said, "Matters of the heart are tough, incredibly tough. Cheating is bad; it is a cancer that eats you up; it destroys everything. You see a confident woman become a shadow of herself when she has been cheated on. It is one of the most painful things, ever and though some people make it work, it definitely cannot be the same again. It is like a broken mirror, the cracks will always be there but in time, the scar can become beautiful and a place only of reference, not a destination.
People can come back from it. If both parties are willing and if the cheat understands what his or her actions cost their partner. And of course, with the grace of God, watching another person suffer for the choice you selfishly made is so heart breaking – that is what cheating does. People grow up, people change [and] everyone deserves a second chance as we ask God for forgiveness daily, but it may not be with each other. Sometimes the brokenness is irreparable and you can forgive someone without being in their lives."

Toke and her estranged hubby dated on and off for about 12 years and got married officially in a secret ceremony in December, 2013.

E-Money: The Secret Behind The Wealth Of The 5-Star Music Boss

Money bag CEO of 5 Star Music, Emeka Okonkwo AKA E-Money, is known for his money spree galore that has been rocking the social media platforms of late.

Call him Mr. Flamboyant; E-Money lives in a gold-furnished mansion, owns fleets of cars and has a lot of money to throw around, even in the midst of the current economy in Nigeria.

He has been so much in the news for lavishing money, especially during public events. Earlier this week, he was sighted in a video footage showing his latest upgraded style of using a money gun spraying device. The money rain took place at a wedding reception of professional football player and Super Eagles member, Onazi Ogenyi.

E-Money launched his money gun in April, which helps him flaunt his riches easily. The multi-millionaire was first seen in his common act at the Quilox birthday party of Fuji icon, K1 D Ultimate. The second time was at the wedding reception of actor Mike Ezuruonye’s sister.

Surprisingly, other millionaires such as Dangote, Adenuga and Otedola, whose wealth have been around for a longer time, are yet to lavish money the way the 5 Star boss does. This leaves most people no option but to ask ‘what does E-money do for a living, aside managing 5 Star Music’.

In 2014, Vanguard described him as a billionaire, whose business stretches from real estate to the music industry. There should be more to that, as his extravagant lifestyle is second to none.
First of all, Emeka Okonkwo was born and raised in Ajegunle and is the younger brother of pop singer Kcee Limpopo. He is the official sponsor of Kcee’s music career plus that of Harrysong and Skiibii.
Emeka Okonkwo is also the head of a shipping company called Emmy Cargoes Nig. The company was established in 1997 and was formerly called Borisa Nig. Ltd. He is also into real estate as well as oil and gas, as stated earlier.

Unlike his elder brother, E-Money is married. He has three sons with his wife, Juliet, whom he’s been married to for six-year now. According to him, he met Juliet in 2003 when he was still struggling to make money and she was just what he was looking for – a God-fearing and non-materialistic woman.
In a nutshell, we really can not say for sure the secret of E-Money’s wealth or where the bulk of it comes from. However, we are aware that he has a lot of money and is ever ready to spend it.
