Give Us: President Buhari - Dead or Alive?...Read It All On Tafia World

 

Two major issues dominated public discourse in the past week. First, is the raging rumour on the “death”, or otherwise, of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is officially said to be on a 10-day vacation in the United Kingdom.

I first chanced on the news of the president’s supposed death on the social media about two weekends ago, and immediately waved it off as one of the fake news for which that medium of communication is becoming quite notorious.

The Struggle to overcome Political Insanity, Audacious impunity and Mindless looting in Nigeria took a Negative hit last night not just because Tuface Idibia called off the 6th of February, 2017 Protest; because most of the demons we are Fighting against hijack the Peoples Protest and Anger at the Establishment.

The Nigeria Political Elite are Vampires Feeding off the Blood of a Willing and Docile Populace.

Setback for Trump: Appeals court rejects demand to resume travel ban -- for now read all on Tafia world.

Sunday morning denied the US government's emergency request to resume President Donald Trump's travel ban.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has asked for both sides to file legal briefs before the court makes its final decision after a federal judge halted the program on Friday.

What this means is that the ruling by US District Court Judge James Robart, who suspended the ban, will remain in place -- for now.

The US Justice Department filed an appeal just after midnight Sunday, asking to pause Robart's sweeping decision that temporarily halted enforcement of several key provisions of Trump's executive order.

The order bars citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries -- Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen -- from entering the US for 90 days, all refugees for 120 days and indefinitely halts refugees from Syria.

Buhari To this end, the president is expected back in the country any moment to resume his official duties baring any last minute eventuality. Efforts made by our correspondent to ascertain the time of his arrival today yielded no positive results as officials wouldn’t disclose the information. It will be recalled President Buhari jetted out of the country on Thursday, January 19, 2017 after transmitting a letter to the National Assembly, notifying the Senate and the House of Representatives of his journey. He also transferred the functions of his office to Vice President , Professor Yemi Osinbajo, who had been acting on his behalf. Buhari’s trip however elicited controversy following speculations that he has died in a London hospital. The presidency had long refuted the claims, saying that the president was hale and hearty.
