Senate President Saraki to President Buhari: "Sign the #ElectoralBill Now"
Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has advised President Muhammadu Buhari not to heed the advice of the anti-democratic elements who have now populated the political space and putting pressure on him not to give assent to the 2018 Electoral Bill.
Saraki in a statement in Ilorin today (Wednesday) signed by his Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Yusuph Olaniyonu, urged the President to rise above petty politics and act without further delay in the best interest of the country and its democracy by signing the Electoral Bill into law.
Saraki noted that he had been inundated with telephone calls and discussions by members of the National Assembly who expressed concern about the delay in the signing into law of the Electoral Bill as the one month period provided by the law for the President to sign a bill presented to him by the National Assembly is about to expire in the next few days.
He added that many of the legislators who contacted him were particularly disturbed that certain individuals who are said to be chairmen of political parties had approached the Federal High Court to stop the President from assenting to the bill.
He noted that the jaded tactic employed in the 90s to scuttle the return to democracy when groups like the Association for Better Nigeria (ABN) went to court to frustrate the announcement of the results of the June 12, 1993 elections is now being adopted by some masked groups and individuals to stop the signing into law of the Electoral Bill.
He urged President Buhari to dissociate himself from these ugly antics and sign the bill which he said has comprehensively addressed issues that usually clog the process of free, fair, credible and peaceful elections.
" It is the prerogative of the President to either sign a Bill into law or refuse it assent. He is free to exercise this prerogative the way he likes in this case. What I found surprising is a situation where some people now want to adopt a wrong tactic of abusing the court process to stall the matter. That will be unacceptable and I am sure our judiciary will rely on the lessons from the past and not allow itself to be used.
"We do not want the President to allow the setting of a bad precedent in which somebody will go to court in future to stop the passage of an appropriation bill or any essential law which will be important to the development of the country.
"My position remains that the President, his aides, the entire country and the international community are aware that all the concerns raised by the President on the past three occasions he withheld assent to the bill have been addressed by the legislature. We bent backwards on each occasion to accommodate the wishes of the President. We started work on this law since 2016 to prevent a situation where it would become part of the election controversies.
"Every sincere commentator, observer and analyst knows that what we have done with that bill is to raise the level of transparency, credibility and acceptability of our electoral process. We made sure that the law if assented to and honestly applied by INEC and all those concerned will give us an election that will be better than what we had in 2015.
"The President should know that the survival of democracy, its development and the future of Nigeria are far more important than the ambition of any individual or party. I am using this opportunity to call on President Muhammadu Buhari to put a stop to this uncertainty in the political process by signing without delay the 2018 Electoral Bill so as to allow INEC and the concerned parties know how to prepare for a credible process", Saraki stated.

Senate holds first plenary in 2019
The Nigerian Senate has reconvened in plenary for the first time in 2019 after their annual end of year recess.
President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki warned against making the upcoming general elections "a do-or-die affair" even as he insisted that Nigerians must be allowed to exercise their right to choose who will represent them at all levels.
Senator Saraki, who made the declaration while welcoming his colleagues from the Christmas and New Year break, said "all efforts must be made to ensure that the elections are free, fair and credible."
He stated that the 8th Senate having passed a record 257 bills as at the end of December 2018, must not be distracted but should rather remain focused in order to finish strong.
"Nigerians expect us to continue in this vein and we owe it to ourselves to meet their expectations. The legacy of the 8th Senate will be written in the legislative footprints that we leave and the foundation that we lay.
"Therefore, we must ensure that we continue to address issues affecting Nigerians and concerning which they seek our intervention. Issues such as Unemployment, lack of economic opportunities, insecurity and so on – these still require the attention of the National Assembly," he said.
He further stated that, "The 2019 elections are just over a month away and the expectations of Nigerians as the dates draw near, is that we continue to serve as the representatives they voted for. In our work in this chamber, we are expected to rise above the partisan paradigm."
Confirmation letter
The lawmakers were also welcomed with a letter from President Muhammadu Buhari, requesting its confirmation of the appointment of Modibbo Tukur as the Director of the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU).
President Buhari's letter seeking Senate's confirmation was read on Wednesday by President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki.

Members of the Board include, Mohammed Goni Alkali as the MD/CEO, Musa Yashi-Executive Director Humanitarian Affairs, Muhammed Jawa- Executive Director Administration and Finance, Omar Mohammed- Executive Director Operations and David Kente as member representing North East Zone.

Ekechi and Obasuke Mcdonald is the member to represent South South zone.
It will be recalled that President Buhari signed into law the establishment of the North East Development Commission (NEDC) in October 2017 with the mandate of spearheading the reconstruction and development of Nigeria's northeast which has been ravaged by the long years of insurgency.
Lawmaker's demise
Meanwhile, Wednesday's sitting of the senate did not last the usual hours following the lawmakers' early adjournment of plenary to honour one of their colleagues who passed on during the recess in December, 2018.

The Senate is expected to resume plenary on Thursday, January 17, 2019.

Legislator assures of speedy passage of 2019 budget
The member representing Arewa/Dandi Federal Constituency, Alhaji Hussaini Kangiwa, says the National Assembly would ensure speedy passage of the 2019 budget.
Kangiwa told newsmen on Wednesday in Birnin Kebbi that the lawmakers would avoid the mistakes that delayed the passage of the 2018 budget.
According to him, the passage will be in contrast to that of 2018 that was passed amid controversies and disharmony between the executive and the legislature.
"I think Nigerians should not have to worry this time around as we have all learned our lessons from what happened in 2018.
"I can assure you that the impasse that trailed the 2018 budget in the National Assembly before its passage will be avoided in 2019," the APC member, said.
Kangiwa assured President Muhammadu Buhari that APC lawmakers in the National Assembly were solidly behind him in spite of what happened during the presentation of the budget.
"What happened during the budget presentation was unfortunate; it was orchestrated and carried out by the opposition but we the APC lawmakers were able to check them.
"We are solidly behind our President because we are in support of his anti-corruption crusade," he said.
Kangiwa also lauded Gov. Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi for transforming the state to being a major contributor to Nigeria's economic growth through agriculture.
"Governor Bagudu left no one in doubt about the ability of APC to deliver on its campaign promises.
"His rice revolution has triggered massive rice production which has drastically reduced rice import to barest minimum," he said.
National Assembly's leadership wants adequate security for its striking workers
The leadership of the National Assembly has directed the Police and the Department of State Services, DSS to ensure adequate security within its vicinity to enable members and staff to come in and perform their legitimate duties without any hindrance.
The directive was handed over after a meeting of the joint leadership of the two chambers with the management and representatives of the security agencies in Abuja.
A statement signed by the Clerk of the National Assembly, CNA, Alhaji Sani Omolori said "the meeting was called at the instance of political leadership to listen to the management on the efforts being made to address the grievances of the striking staff."
Attending to striking issues
It said the meeting had resolved to attend to almost all the issues raised by the striking workers of the National Assembly.
The statement maintained that "the CNA and the management of the National Assembly have agreed and committed to address all the grievances of the workers and to ensure their happiness."
It further stated that the issues raised by the workers have been well attended to and that it was necessary for the business of the National Assembly to continue without any disturbance including normal plenary sittings of both chambers to prepare the ground for the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, to present the budget proposal to the joint sitting of the Senate and the House of Representatives.1
Activities at the National Assembly were paralysed on Monday following the commencement of a four-day warning strike by staff of the Assembly Under the aegis of Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, PASAN.
The workers are protesting unpaid allowances, promotion and other condition of service.

House kicks against privatization of Afam Power Plant
The Nigerian House of Representatives has directed the National Council on Privatization NPC and the Bureau of Public Enterprises BPE to suspend the sale of Afam Power Plant on a fast track transaction basis and allow for repair of the asset to enhance its value.
This was contained in a motion adopted on the need to investigate the planned privatization of the power plant.
Sponsor of the motion Mr. Ayodele Oladimeji from Ekiti, State maintained that the Sapele Power and Ugheli Power companies were also privatized in 2013 in the same manner but there were no results to justify the action.
He said: "The Sapele Power Plc and the Ughelli Power Plc were Privatized by the BPE in 2013 in the same manner as the planned privatization of Afam Power Plc and both are now in dire financial constraints along with other Generating Companies (GENCOS), resulting in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) intervention with N701 billion Payment Assurance Guarantee due to expire in December, 2018.
Aware that the Generating Companies (GENCOS) are still faced with problems of lack of gas and weak infrastructure which cannot take all the generated energy and also serious liquidity crisis."
Deputy Speaker Mr. Lasun Yusuff described the power sector as a critical aspect of the economy that ought not to be controlled by the private entities.
"The privatization process in Nigeria is awkward and skewed towards personal, not national interest. He queried the practice of selling off assets that are in critical sectors such as power, mines and steel, educational or technological development. He also pointed out that most assets privatized have not met up to the aims for which they were privatized," Lasun stressed.
Mr. Mohammed Monguno from Borno State stated that it would be a waste to sell it as is being proposed.
While decrying the fact that the assets previously sold off are not functioning optimally, he called for reinvestment by Government into the sector to boost power supply to Nigerians.
Other lawmakers who contributed during a debate also insisted that the Afam power plant should not be sold without due process not to talk of outright sale as scrap.

National Assembly Commends NNPC on Fuel Availability Plans at Yuletide
The Nigerian National Assembly has commended the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation on the strategies deployed so far to make petroleum products available to Nigerians throughout the end of year festivities and beyond.
Chairman of the House of Representatives' Committee on Petroleum (Downstream), Hon. Joseph Akinlaja, gave the commendation during an oversight visit to NNPC Towers yesterday.
The lawmaker expressed confidence that the elaborate measures put in place by the corporation to avert fuel supply shortage would be successful this year going by the painstaking efforts that went into the planning and execution of the zero-fuel scarcity strategy.
"We are impressed by the presentation and we are sure there will be no war room here again because of products scarcity, you have done very well and I'm happy that Nigerians are going to travel effortlessly at this period of the year", Hon. Akinlaja enthused.
On the threat by major, independent petroleum products marketers to ground the sector due to unpaid subsidy arrears, the Committee Chairman appealed to the Federal Government to do everything within its powers to pay up the arrears to forestall any crisis.
Speaking further on the need to support NNPC to sustain petroleum products supply, Hon. Akinlaja said the corporation was overburdened and "because of that, when it runs into hiccups, somebody will say their operations are opaque. Let's avoid fuel scarcity by supporting NNPC".
The Committee also expressed satisfaction with the improvement on the integrity of the pipelines and urged NNPC to expedite action on the remaining ones, especially those linking the Ore Depot from Benin City and to the Ibadan Depot.
In his presentation to the Committee, Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, reassured Nigerians of the corporation's preparedness to ensure zero-scarcity of petroleum products during the upcoming festive season and beyond.
The GMD who was represented by NNPC Chief Operating Officer, Downstream, Mr. Henry Ikem Obih, lauded the Committee for its support during the last fuel supply hiccups that occurred in the country from November 2017 to the early part of this year.
He disclosed that adequate measures have been deployed to avert any form of supply challenge, stressing that even if NNPC were to stop importing fuel as from today, there was enough stock of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in the country to last for 45 days.
On his part, Managing Director of the Petroleum Products Marketing Company Limited (PPMC), Mr. Umar Ajiya, disclosed that the company has returned to profitability with a trading surplus of N32bn between January and November 2018.
The other downstream subsidiaries that made presentations were NNPC Retail Limited, Nigerian Pipelines and Storage Company (NPSC) and NNPC Shipping.
One of the downstream subsidiaries of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the Petroleum Products Marketing Company limited (PPMC) has returned to profitability and has recorded N32bn profit between January to November, 2018.
The PPMC boss also stated that as part of the zero-scarcity strategy, the company has over 170 million litres of PMS in stock at some NNPC Depots across the country following their successful rehabilitation along with connecting pipelines to forestall dependence on private sector depots.

Race of the Day – 16 Oct
Race of the Day - 15:30 Windsor
Finale makes it onto The Shortlist for her race at Windsor, which is a one-mile fillies' handicap. She has a score of ten when it's on the 'Place' setting, with three sections of green and one of amber. She has never run here at Windsor previously, hence the grey section of the report.
If we take a look at her current form we can see that she has been racing consistently well, with two wins and two-second places from her six races to date.
She ran a good race to finish second last time out in a slightly stronger looking handicap than this one, and she stayed on strongly that day after being a little keen early on. Adam Kirby takes the ride again today and if he can get her to settle a bit better this time then that is sure to aid her chances.
Adam Kirby has been firing in the winners recently. Over the past couple of weeks, he's had 10 winners (23.26%) and 18 places (41.86%) from 43 runners, for level stakes profits of 19.98 and 19.38 respectively. This has also produced an Impact Value of 2.49, meaning he is almost two and a half times more likely than average to have the winner.
Finale's sire, Holy Roman Emperor, has an excellent record with three-year-olds. From 510 runners he's produced 77 winners (15.10%) and 178 places (34.90%) for level stakes profits of 92.50 and 59.92 respectively, and an Impact Value of 1.26.
The Instant Expert report confirms the good showing of Finale and she looks more suited to today's conditions than her rivals. It should be noted, however, that she is now seven pounds higher than for her last victory, so will probably need to put in a career-best performance to take this.
The Pace report shows that early leaders here over this distance have a brilliant record, with 23.96% of them going on to win the race, for a level stakes profit of 246.65 and an Impact Value of 2.17.
Arctic Fire and Killay appear the most likely to be setting the early pace and Finale is also usually quite prominent. Given the importance of getting a good position early on here at Windsor, I fully expect Kirby to make a real effort through the first furlong to get across from stall ten and grab a handy spot. If he can do this and not waste too much energy in doing so, then I think Finale has a good chance.

It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who already had an attack, if they do this process daily, are kept miles away from the next attack.
Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have reacted patients successfully and have found that as you Age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalizes the arteries and veins.

Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply on the aching tooth. This may be applied three times a day until the tooth stops aching.
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of cinnamon powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, were found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10% within 2 hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken 3 times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. As per information received in the said journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

I would like to start this blog with a brief history of Ryan's family. And for those of you who did not already know my younger brother, Ryan Keith Skipper, I would like to introduce you to him. Ryan and I were only separated by 4 years but our lives were in many ways very different. We were both raised by the same loving parents and during our childhood we shared many of the same experiences.
We were part of the new nuclear family which no longer is comprised of a mother, father and 2.2 children. Ours included a mother, step-father, father, step-mother, step-siblings and many aunts, uncles and grandparents. One of the more positive sides to a divorce can be the new relationships that are formed that transcend blood lines. These relationships can give new meaning to the phrase "blood is thicker than water". The melding of all of these families had a very positive effect on Ryan and me.
Where to start? So growing up in Central Florida seemed to be a fairly normal process to me. As far back as I can remember Ryan and I were celebrating holidays together, going on family vacations (mainly to Disney World and the beach) and following our parent's guidelines related to living well and getting an education. The holidays always consisted of way too many "pop culture" gifts in the form of He-Men and GI-Joe action figures. The most adventurous family vacation was a 1,500 mile drive to Canada from Winter Haven. Until this trip we were unaware that freezing temperatures were possible in mid-July.
Polk County always seemed to be a very normal place to grow up. I say normal with the inference that it was a place where everyone was free to be themselves and continuously learn about the world. Our parents sent us both to public schools and we were a lower-middle class family so I don't feel like we were coddled or sheltered from our surroundings. I truly believe that Polk County is a good place and that certain individuals should not define the character of a community. I am hopeful that this community can redeem themselves for the lack of outrage over the horrific death of one of their citizens for who he was.
On a side note I was let down recently when students at a Performing Arts high school in Polk County were told that they could not perform the "Laramie Project" on school grounds because the play was too controversial. Matthew Shepard's death is a very controversial topic. It happened nearly 10 years ago and people are still being murdered today because they are gay. Isn't it time that we address this 'controversial topic' with our children and discuss how to prevent these events from happening again? I was happy to see that the students did hold an independent production with the help of some recent graduates.
So Ryan and I grew up playing organized sports, mainly soccer and baseball, and getting into the kind of trouble that either of us could talk or smile our way out of. Ryan and I were very similar in that we were never short on friends. We both had many 'best friends' and as a result our parents were obligated to make many extra lunches for the neighborhood kids.
The difference that I mentioned earlier is that Ryan was gay and I am straight. I will not lie and state that this was never difficult for us to deal with during adolescence. Adolescence is probably the most awkward and confusing time in any one's life. Pimples, hormones, standardized tests, etc. So now imagine Ryan's additional and overarching dilemma of being gay in small town, USA. I only say dilemma because of the pressure that some of those in society place on gays to be straight. As if it is a choice. But Ryan met this challenge head on and was brave enough to come out while he was in high school. Looking back on my time in high school I do not recall one person that was openly gay. I have a good friend that fled Polk County because she was not comfortable expressing her sexual identity there. So four years after graduation my younger brother was a pioneer at the same school. That is pretty damn admirable.

I am not sure what you meant by you are not able to integrate. I tested the available integrations and they are working as expected on our end. Here's a quick screencast of Stripe in my end:
You can see that I need my account to be logged in. So I went ahead and opened a new tab and logged in from there before connecting Stripe in the payment wizard.
Please do make sure that the credentials you are using in the payment wizard is correct, it would be best to refresh the page when making a new integration. Try also hitting the save button after making changes. I noticed that you are removing integrations, re-adding new ones, closing the payment wizard then trying to add a new one again. It seems like you are doing a lot of actions and it is a causing problems on your end. Try refreshing the page when the payment wizard is not working properly or whenever you are trying to integrate. Please also note that you can only add ONE payment integration in a form.
Here are the links to help you integrate:
Let us know if that works.

Unhinged Joanne Cardsley is about to unleash terror as she takes an unnerved Louis Loveday hostage. As she gets closer to the edge, it looks like she might be capable of anything and, after smashing his phone, Joanne makes it clear that Louis' life is on the line.
Joanne has engineered a plot to try and get close to Louis again and orchestrates a false allegation to be made against him by his pupil Prince Hunter. After Louis is suspended from his job, Joanne offers to help him with legal advice but he understandably wants her to keep away. She offers up her close ally James instead and as Louis meets up with James, Joanne makes her move.
Interrupting the chat at James' flat, Joanne gets Louis exactly where she wants him and her angry and unsettling behaviour leaves him with no escape.
Meanwhile, Lisa and Zack are starting to figure out that Louis could be in danger while Simone makes a shocking discovery of her own about Joanne.
As the pieces fall into place, Joanne's actions get out of control – can anyone come to Louis' rescue or is Joanne about to do something terrible after realising that she can never have him back?
A dramatic chain of events unfolds at James' flat – but will everyone emerge alive?

Ever since I graduated from macro to micro beer (specifically Great Divide Brewing in Denver, CO), I've been blown away by the craft beer community and the passion that goes into the beer making process. Beer brings people together and so do online platforms. That's why I focus my passion for all things digital media – from website design to photography to social media management – in the craft beer industry. It combines two of my passions and I want to be passionate about my work.
I've always been an early adopter of technology and social platforms but when I created Hops About Beer 3 years ago is when I saw first-hand the power of an online community. I started Hops About Beer because I wanted to create a community around beer I loved and engage with other like-minded people. I loved seeing how the community grew to over 10k followers and I now have relationships with some of the leading influencers worldwide in the craft beer industry. Not only does this allow me to continue these relationships, it also allows us to share what is currently going on in the craft beer scene and stay up-to-date on the current trends. This is why I have chosen to do what I do, to not only help breweries grow their engagement but any other businesses in the food and beverage industry.
What makes Hops About Beer different from other marketing agencies or public relation firms is that I'm uniquely positioned to do this type of work. Even though I am someone who is very analytical and has a gift for technology, I also love to build relationships with clients and their customers. I truly enjoy engaging with people, collaborating and creating together. After working together, my goal is for clients to say that it wasn't only a successful campaign, but I was easy and fun to work with.
Between my wife being an Executive Pastry Chef at a local Patisserie and me working with local businesses, we have built many relationships in the Sacramento area and love watching the city grow. We have a young son and are excited to continue to grow our family. I not only want to provide for my family but love the work that I do – and that's why I've taken Hops About Beer from a fun project to a business.
I look forward to connecting with you and seeing what Hops About Beer can do to assist with any digital media needs that you might have. Cheers!
