Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has emerged as the best distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, among 108 Senators elected into the Upper Legislative Chamber in the 8th National Assembly.

This must have come as a shock to the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, who had opposed the emergence of Saraki as the Senate President.

Saraki emerged the best Senator in an online poll organised by an online medium, to rank the performance of the 109 Senators in the Hallow Chamber.

The record breaking award came barely two weeks when he really proved that he is a man of his words, by delivering on his promise to make budget details of the National Assembly, public.

The runner ups are: Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe representing Abia South Senatorial District, followed by Senator Shehu Senator of Kaduna Central.

This makes it the first time Nigerians will have access to how monies are disbursed in the Legislature, since the beginning of the Fourth Republic, in 1999.

The latest of Saraki’s feat, was the recent passing of the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill, thereby breaking the 17-year old jinx.

Recall, that the bill had been at the doorstep of the Legislature, since 2000.

The bill passed by the Senate, is expected to produce reforms in the petroleum sector, one of which is the scrapping of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the nation’s oil company, which has been riddled with scandals over the decades.

This achievement by the Senate under Saraki’s leadership, is worthy of recognition, as the eighth Assembly has done what previous Assemblies left unattended to for seventeen years.

Where is Omar Borkan Al-Gala? | The man who was “deported from Saudi for being too handsome”

By Roqeebah Olaoniye You may remember his face from April 2013 when almost every news outlet reported that the Saudi Arabian Police deported three men from the Kingdom for being too handsome. “Earlier this week, three men were forcibly removed from a culture festival in Saudi Arabia after religious police deemed the men “too handsome”. – UK’s Independent reported on the 26th of April 2013 . The Independent’s report relied on an “Arabic language newspaper Elaph”, which reported that a “festival official said the three Emiratis were taken out on the grounds they are too handsome and that the Commission [for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vices] members that concerns that female visitors could fall for them.” One of these three illegally handsome men turned out to be Omar Borkan Al-Gala: Ridiculously handsome right? Within a few hours, the internet was ablaze with photos of identifying Omar as one of the deported handsome men. Omar did nothing to quell the rumours. In

Cheick Tiote, 28, who earns £45,000 a week playing for Newcastle United, reportedly wed Laeticia Doukrou in a traditional ceremony earlier this month, saying taking another wife was ‘nothing unusual’ given he is a Muslim. But news of the second wedding came as a surprise to his first wife, Madah, 25, who is said to have only found out about it on Facebook. Madah, who lives with Tiote and their two children in a £1.5m house in a village outside Newcastle, reportedly fainted with shock when she saw the photographs of her husband marrying another woman. Meanwhile the midfielder also has a one-year-old child with mistress, 33-year-old Zimbabwean Nkosiphile Mpofu, known as Nikki.  (pictured above).
