The minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, has described the right won by Nigeria to host the United Nation World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) conference in 2018 as an indication that the entire world has endorsed the programmes and efforts of President Buhari’s administration.
Speaking on Thursday, April 20, in Addis Ababa, Mohammed said the hosting right reiterated the confidence the global community has in Nigeria, The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
The minister, who led Nigeria’s delegation to Addis Ababa for the 59th edition of the meeting and a high level meeting on Chinese Outbound Tourism in Africa, said the country would leverage on the hosting opportunity.
“What that means really is that the entire world has endorsed the programmes and efforts of President Buhari’s administration,’’he said.
According to Mohammed, the hosting the conference should be seen in a bigger picture that “Nigeria “is once again on the global stage’’.
He said the event would provide the country, the opportunity to showcase its diverse culture and give its own narrative from its own perspective.
“Hosting this conference will give confidence to investors that this is a country they can come and invest in.
“It will also convince the entire world that Nigeria is serious in promoting culture, music, film and entertainment industry to diversify its economy,’’ he said.
The minister said that no amount of money invested in hosting the conference could be seen as waste because of the goodwill it will bring to the country.
He said so many other countries were bidding to host the event to boost their tourism industry and attract goodwill to their nations.

This is according to a letter, dated April 19 2017 with case file number CV-17-573595, signed by the registrar of the Ontario Superior Court, made available by Sahara Reporters. The letter, which is addressed to Apostle Suleman’s Ontario residence shows Miss Otobo claiming Canadian $5milion for damages resulting from breach of trust, breach of fiduciary relations, breach of contract, negligence, defamation, poisoning, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional stress, forcible confinement, multiple instances of battery, false imprisonment, fraud, assaults, sexual assaults, sexual harassment, harassment and malicious prosecution.
The lawsuit, which the Apostle is expected to serve and file within 40 days, also puts a restraining order on Apostle Suleman from having anything to do with Miss Otobo whether directly or indirectly.
In the court summon, Miss Otobo claimed that he was first introduced to her in June 2015 in Canada as one in need of spiritual help. As at this time, Miss Otobo was said to be a refugee in Suleman’s care, after which Otobo had been invited by Suleman to Italy and other European countries in continuation of the ‘spiritual grooming’ which later developed into a love relationship.
It further revealed that Apostle Suleman had invited Miss Otobo to his church in Nigeria in August 2015, after which they had s*x and she became pregnant. This , according to Miss Otobo, made Apostle Suleman meet with the family of Otobo (her mother, sister and other relations) with gifts and marriage promises.
This was said to have made Miss Otobo forgo her lucrative career and property in Canada to settle down in Nigeria with her ‘husband to-be’. Her bubble however got busted later when she allegedly met with the Apostle at the Definite Destiny Hotel in Lagos where she was allegedly given a concoction called “spiritual drink” by Apostle Suleman.
The drink led to the pregnancy being terminated after she lost lots of blood and was given pain-killers by Apostle. She subsequently returned to Canada to receive further treatment, even as she was then stalked by followers of Suleman who were also his church’s congregants in Canada.
It was when she came back to Nigeria to seek redress for her ordeal that she was arrested on March 17, 2017, in company of a male friend in Lagos.

NAIJ.com gathered that a 12-year-old 7th grader from Marietta, Georgia, discovered cancer-fighting chemicals in green tea through his research project that was originally focused on malaria virus.
The boy, Stephen Litt, has reportedly been conducting experiments since he was in 1st grade. His science project became more complex over the years and eventually grabbed national attention when it won the Georgia Science and Engineering Fair award.
The young scientist has made a fresh discovery in the course of his experiments. He is said to have found proof that chemicals in green tea have the potential to fight cancer.
He reportedly tested epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), an antioxidant in green tea, to determine whether it could prevent breast cancer tumors in planaria, a type of flatworms.
The latest discovery has put Litt in the limelight as senior scientists now want to meet him. Some are considering the possibility of partnering with the boy on his groundbreaking research project.
As a result of his extraordinary achievement, Litt recently received an invitation to go on a private tour of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University.
Litt’s science project won him an award.
Lesley Litt, the boy’s father, who has reportedly been supporting him in the project as he is a scientist himself, sheds more light regarding the hope-lifting discovery. He said:
“It’s not a cure for cancer. What he found is a way to prevent cancer in these worms from those specific carcinogens. Their DNA is not the same as humans, but a professor at Tufts and a few others would like to know what’s going on. They want to help.”
Young Litt was initially not interested in finding vaccine for cancer. He wanted to focus on the malaria vaccine that he had read about in school. That was in October last year.
His father says around the same time, two of their relatives were diagnosed with breast cancer, and that was when young Litt changed his mind from malaria to cancer.
“He started reading about cancer, specifically breast cancer. He found an article about how the Japanese might have lower cancer rates because of green tea. He then read an article in Livescience about anti-cancer secrets in green tea.”
Litt found himself reading and doing experiments as he researched on cancer, and more specifically breast cancer. He eventually discovered what could potentially become a cancer vaccine.

Secret Service agents detained a Brooklyn man who slithered into a Tribeca building where former President Obama’s daughter Malia interns — and begged the 18-year-old to marry him.
Jair Nilton Cardoso showed up on the fourth floor of the building on April 10, held up a sign in an office window and loudly begged for her hand in marriage, sources said.
The agents recognized Cardoso as a man who had repeatedly tried to get into the White House in the past, sources said. They told him to leave the Tribeca building and to leave her alone, sources said.
Two days later Cardoso, 30, followed Malia out of a building in the West Village where she also interns, sources said. Secret Service agents on April 13 went to Cardoso’s Brooklyn apartment and interviewed him, sources said.
They concluded he had psychiatric issues and took him to a Brooklyn hospital for evaluation. On Tuesday, the Secret Service reported Cardoso to the NYPD. It is unclear if stalking or harassment charges will be filed against him.

You might have assumed that cutting the junk from your diet is pretty much all you needed to do to lose weight. The problem is, though, that you may well have swapped junk for healthy foods that are high in fat and high in calories. Oh no!
This is literally the worst thing that could happen to anyone who is trying to lose weight. Rather than losing anything, you could find that you’re actually gaining even more. Despite, you know, eating healthier! What is going on?!
Well, a lot of the time serving size is crucial. But as well as this, let’s take a look at 10 healthy foods that can make you gain weight.
Avocado
Avocado is known as one of the super foods, and it really is. It’s rich in nutrients, antioxidants and fibre, as well as non-saturated fats. The bad news is that it’s also high in fat and calories.
A single serving of avocado is usually 1/5th of the fruit, which is essentially 50 calories. If you decide to eat the whole avocado in one go, you’ll be consuming a whopping 350 calories. Basically, rather than “snacking” on an avocado before your main meal, you’ll actually be eating a main meal.
Nuts
Nuts are great, and we here at beauty and tips are often promoting them for their health benefits. Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, fibre and protein, they’re the perfect replacement for unhealthy snacks, such as chips and dip, and candy bars.
The trouble is that a quarter cup of almonds contains 132 calories. So whilst we do recommend them as a healthy snack, we do advise that you eat them in moderation. If you munch on them throughout a film like you would popcorn, you might end up with a bigger belly by the final credits.
Dried Fruit
Dried fruit is actually pretty darn popular, and is quite tasty too. They’re dry because they’ve had the water removed from them. But what’s so bad about that? They’re still fruit, right?
Well, yeah. But because they’ve had the water drained from them, dried fruits are also much unhealthier, and contain up to eight times more sugar and calories than fresh fruit. To put that into perspective, a cup of dried raisins contains around 460 calories, whilst a cup of grapes contains just 60.
Bran Muffins
Because these muffins have “bran” as their prefix, we easily assume that they’re healthy. And, of course, there are also the apples and banana options. Rich in fibre, they fill us up and keep the weight off, right?
Not quite. See, these are still muffins, and like all good muffins they come rich in sugar and butter. It is these two key ingredients that ensures that these bran muffins are actually just cakes. Just a single bran muffin can contain 20g of fat, 420 calories and 34g of sugar.
Ready-Made Salads
Ready-made salads are super convenient. Rather than spend time in the kitchen putting the salad together yourself, you simply have to tip it into a bowl. Awesome!
The problem is that you are not in control of the calorie count, and ready-made salads are actually serial offenders when it comes to fattening you up. Sure, they’re salads; but they’re salads that are often combined with cheeses, meats, croutons, and unhealthy dressing. So whilst salads are convenient, we recommend that you avoid them if you’re looking to lose weight. If you don’t, you could end up consuming more calories than a Big Mac without even realising it.
Cranberry Juice
Cranberry juice, when produced yourself, can be really healthy. But pure cranberry juice is a really acquired taste and is too tarty for most people. For this reason, supermarkets pack it with sugars and sweeteners, which essentially make it more fattening than soda.
Yogurt
Yogurt can be a great snack for if we’re on the go and need to get some energy really quickly. Moreover, it’s also really versatile and Greek yogurt in particular is finding its way into a whole wealth of meals and wraps around the world.
But yogurt, despite its high protein content, is also pretty fattening if you eat too much of it. It’s often full of sugar that can lead to a carb content of 20g per serving. This is not exactly ideal if you’re looking to lose weight. Not all yogurts have such high sugar contents, though, so it’s well worth checking out the ingredients on the tubs before you buy.
Brown Rice
Rice is used by many of us in our dishes because it’s really convenient, and really inexpensive. We’re also told to swap white rice for brown rice because it’s “healthier.” But brown rice is still fattening, and has around 35g per serving. Hmm!
One of the problems is that when we dish out rice, we tend to dish out a lot of it. Restaurants and takeaways are the same. We advise that you don’t feel pressured into consuming all the rice on your plate, or that you swap it for something healthier, such as bok choy.
Diet Drinks
Although it isn’t the diet drink itself that causes you to put on the poundage, its sweet taste can cause you to pine for the real deal. So whilst you might not instantly head into the nearest store for a sugary drink, you might find yourself pigging out on a candy bar at some point later in the day.
Moreover, diet drinks are still soda drinks, and soda sippers are at risk of developing what is known as metabolic syndrome. This can lead to ab fat, as well as high blood pressure.
Stay healthy!

According to a report by Naij.com the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will commence a nationwide continuous voter registration on April 27 across the 774 local government areas of the federation.
The commission disclosed this in a statement signed by Mrs Amina Zakari, INEC National Commissioner, after a meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECS) and Administrative Secretaries from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
It stated that the exercise would take place from 9 a.m to 3 p.m on weekdays (Mondays to Fridays), excluding public holidays.
The registration centres, according to the statement, shall be the local government offices of the commission or such other suitable locations as would be made public by the State Offices of lNEC.
It stated that the decision was taken at the meeting following INEC consultations with stakeholders including political parties, civil society organisations and the media.
“The exercise is intended to enable citizens who have turned 18 years of age since the last registration as well as those who did not register during the last exercise to register as voters.
“It will allow those seeking transfer of their registration from one State to another or within a State from polling unit to another to do so.
“The exercise also intends to enable the distribution of uncollected Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to those who could not collect them before or since the last general elections.
“It will also enable citizens who have the Temporary Voter Cards (TVCs) but whose names are on the register to collect their PVCs,’’ it said.
However, the commission advised those who were already registered not to do so again as it is an offence to register more than once.
“The commission wishes to reiterate its commitment to consolidating our democracy.
`This we are going to do by ensuring that citizens are given the opportunity to register as voters on a continuous basis as enshrined in the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) well before elections.’’
It therefore appealed to all citizens to cooperate with the commission to ensure the success of the exercise.
The INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, had earlier said the registration exercise would continue to be a routine exercise once it commenced.
According to a report by Naij.com the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will commence a nationwide continuous voter r...
