Prof. Zhang Yong-Peng, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), in Beijing, China on Tuesday said that for more Chinese development assistance to be extended to Nigeria, both countries should become active partners. Yong-Peng told a Delegation of visiting Nigerian Journalists in Beijing, while making clarification on “The Belt and Silk Road: Creating New Development in Africa,’’ that it was imperative for Nigeria to become more active with China. “China knows Nigeria as a major power in Africa and would continue to create more opportunities to access her development assistance and funds. Let me say that Nigeria can benefit a lot more from the Chinese government. “The Chinese Government’s Belt and Road Initiative currently covers 100 countries, including Ethiopia, South Africa and Egypt. “Nigeria should give us good development plans, because China is ready to provide more support to Nigeria. Therefore, Nigeria needs to be more active with the Chine

President Donald Trump wants to retool the fabled H-1B visas for skilled workers sought by Silicon Valley heavyweights, a White House official said Monday. There are, however, limits to the scope of his action in the absence of a broader legislative plan. These time-limited work permits meant for scientists, engineers and computer programmers are an important gateway for many Indians attracted by Silicon Valley. Trump on Tuesday will sign a decree while in Kenosha, Wisconsin, ordering the Labor, Justice and Homeland Security departments to propose reforms so that the H-1B program goes back to its roots. Its “original intent (was) awarding visas to the most skilled and highest paid applicants — crucially, at such time as these reforms are eventually implemented, it will prevent the program from being used to displace American workers,” a White House official said. “For too long, rather than just allowing the best to come (…), the H-1B program has been applied in a bad way fo

The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II, has recounted how he supported his daughter, Shaheeda when she slapped a man during her school days. Saunsi said his daughter, who represented him at the BBOG movement’s third anniversary lecture for missing Chibok girls in Abuja last Friday, April 14 said the girl is a strange being.

Shaheeda is a graduate of African Leadership Academy in South Africa and a graduate from New York University as a Biology major. “But long before she went to African Leadership Academy, when she was in Form 3, I remember an incident that is probably relevant for today.

Pope Francis urged an end to “horror and death” in Syria and implored God to bring peace to the Middle East as he delivered the traditional Easter Day mass in Rome on Sunday. The Easter mass, the highlight of the Christian calendar began under a cloudy sky where worshippers had gathered since the early hours to gain access amid tight security. After a short bout of heavy rain, the pontiff gave his traditional Urbi et Orbi blessing, to the city and the world, in which he prayed for those suffering from war, famine and political unrest, highlighting Syria, but also Ukraine and conflict zones in Africa. He expressed hope that Jesus’ own sacrifice might “sustain the efforts of all those actively engaged in bringing comfort and relief to the civil population in Syria, prey to a war that continues to sow horror and death.” And he prayed for peace “beginning with the Holy Land, as well as in Iraq and Yemen.” He also spoke out against the hostilities and famine in Africa, notably i

•’You’re struggling to fear God unlike other royal fathers’ Governor Abdu-laziz Yari of Zamfara State is squaring up to a fresh face-off with the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, after accusing the traditional ruler of playing to the gallery. Sanusi, he said, should practice what he preaches for Nigerians to believe him. Yari, Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), wondered why the Emir rides a Rolls Royce in the midst of poverty in his kingdom. The governor made his feelings known in a statement through his Special Adviser ((Public Enlightenment and Communication), Mr. Ibrahim Dosara, 24 hours after the Emir claimed that some vested interests in the North were putting pressure on him to stop talking following his recent comments on national issues. It also came less than two weeks after their first spat when the Emir dismissed a statement by Yari that the meningitis outbreak in parts of the country, especially the North, was caused by sin. He said the outbreak wa

HOW IT WORKS Cma40office.com   https://cma40office.com/login/create?i=xri s https://chat.whatsapp.com/KUDKbw8LTmAImGAnIhrphQ CMA is all about creating and fulfilling each other's financial dreams. One member of the community creates a dream (this can be anything, buy a house dream, buy a car, pay for school fees, pay up a loan, whatever) when the dream is created another member of the community can fulfil that dream buy helping or contributing toward the dream, this is done selflessly, completely voluntarily without being forced.
