Wali is Nigeria’s Ambassador to China. In this interview, he says the
defection of the Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and other prominent
members of the PDP to the opposition APC is not a stumbling block to PDP’s
victory in the 2015 general elections in the state. He also speaks on other
issues in the polity. Excerpts:
maintains the flow of things inside the body, prevents constipation, and
decreases inflammation. Intake of carbonated beverages and alcohol increases the
risk of dehydration. Eat more fruit We should eat more fruit every day as they
contain natural sugars that help stimulate digestion. Seasonal fruits should be
eaten often as these fruits contain elements which are necessary to stay fit
that season. Apples are good for constipation. Grapes and oranges are good
remedies for diarrhea. You can also have a glass of 100% fruit juice. Stop
smoking Smoking and being around smoke should be avoided right after a meal.
Smoking creates excess air in the stomach and irritates the digestive tract. It
also creates excess acid which is bad for your health. Walk Go for a walk after
each meal, even a short one. This will help keep your digestive system fit and
it also improves digestive function. Exercise Moving your body or doing any kind
of activity or exercise aids digestion and helps to relieve constipation.
Working on a mini-trampoline is any easy way to enhance digestion. De-stress
Don't take on too much stress. If you are stressed you should try to de-stress
yourself, yoga and meditation can be very beneficial. Make sure you get enough
sleep. Drink green tea Green tea contains antioxidant polyphenols which aid
digestion. It also contains anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and
cancer-fighting properties. If you want to shed some weight, this is a great
choice. Change your eating habits This is the most important element we can
change. Food should be properly and thoroughly chewed. Don't overeat or eat
improperly cooked food. This can result in many digestive problems including
stomach ache.

investigated by the
police after reports that he was illegally in possession of weapons. The
Reverend Father is said to be in charge of a parish in the Dikenafai environs of
the Ideato South LGA of the state. He is said to have threatened members of his
parish and endangered their lives with three unlicensed guns believed to be in
his possession, without approval. As a result of the Reverend Father's action,
many are now afraid of going to the church. It was reliably gathered that the
guns which include one pump action riffle, one double-barrelled gun and a
locally-made pistol allegedly belonging to the priest were recovered from his
official residence by operatives of Special Armed Robbery Squad, SARS, Imo State
Police Command acting on a tip off from some concerned parishioners. Described
as a very controversial priest, the reverend father was arrested and detained
briefly but granted bail by the police following the intervention of some
influential religious and political leaders in the state. Police sources said
that the controversy surrounding the Catholic priest stemmed from a tragedy that
occurred in January 2010, after the death of a prominent indigene of the area.
Meanwhile, investigation into the case is ongoing by the police to ascertain the
source of the guns and possibly the actual purposes they are being used for. The
Rev Father may be charged to court after full police investigation had been
concluded.
Nigerian
inspired internet banking scam which could have netted a phenomenal £19 million
(N5 Trillion) after hacking the accounts of nearly 2,500 people. The Mail Online
reported, yesterday, that Aderoju Bammeke, 22, and his girlfriend, Jessica
Ogunyemi, 20, both of Manchester, were the UK 'platform' for a Nigerian
'phishing' scam that made £41,000 in just two months. The plot, alleged to be
masterminded by a gang based in Nigeria, involved sending fake emails to
customers of banks including Barclays and Halifax. According to The Mail report,
the emails told recipients that their accounts had been hacked and asked them to
complete a form with their log-in details. “But when victims obliged, Bammeke
stepped in and helped the gang log in to steal money. “Fashion marketing
student, Ogunyemi, his girlfriend at the time, helped him launder the proceeds
by putting funds in accounts, hiding cash and allowing him to buy her a £2,400
Vauxhall Corsa. “Bammeke has now been jailed for three-and-a-half years at
Manchester Crown Court after admitting conspiracy to commit fraud and
unauthorised computer use. “Ogunyemi admitted five counts of money laundering
and was given a suspended prison sentence. “Investigators found evidence of the
scam on seven devices at Bammeke's home, which had accessed 181 accounts from
his address. “But Barclays found 2,439 customers had been affected and
investigators say the true scale of the fraud will never be known. “Bammeke
admitted he had been involved in the scam for more than a year. He played a 'key
role' as England's 'platform' for the scam, the court heard.” “He said if the
gang had tried to log into accounts from Nigeria it would have triggered the
banks' alarm systems. “Simon Nichol, defending Bammeke, said he felt regret and
remorse for his actions. “He said his involvement – which began in an effort to
tackle student debt – was 'sporadic' and although the scam was large scale with
international dimensions, Bammeke's part was not. “He added: 'They needed a
platform in this jurisdiction and they needed someone to provide that platform.
He allowed them to use his computer remotely. He expresses further regret that
he got his girlfriend involved in this.' “Michael Lavery, defending Ogunyemi,
said she had brought shame on her family, including her train driver father and
mother who works for Manchester council. “He said she had been 'naive', was
predicted to get a first in her degree and was no longer in a relationship with
Bammeke. “Bammeke had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to conspiracy to
commit fraud and unauthorised computer use while Ogunyemi admitted five counts
of money laundering. “Sentencing Bammeke, Judge Recorder Gibson said: 'This in
my opinion was a sophisticated fraud, a clever fraud and a fraud which could
very easily have resulted in very much more substantial money being stolen.' “He
jailed Ogunyemi for a year, suspended for two years, and ordered her to complete
180 hours' unpaid work
