Veteran actor Peter Bruno died on May 1 after battling with stroke for several years. His son, Peter Jr, who is also an actor took to Facebook to announce his passing.
“In the early hours of today, my father, friend, teacher, confidant passed on.” he wrote
Peter Bruno had complained for years, accusing his colleagues, even the ones he mentored in the industry, of abandoning after he fell ill.
“Since this thing happened there has been no single actor that called me to ask about my condition. It is a shame on their part. Would they say they don’t know that I am sick? ‘I had a stroke and that was the end of it” He told Vanguard in 2013.

Ayiri Emami Urges Buhari To End Amnesty Program For Ex Militants
Former Niger Delta militant leader, Chief Ayiri Emami, has called on President-elect Muhammadu Buhari to scrap the ongoing amnesty programme initiated by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua for ex-militants of the Niger Delta.
Emami, now a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State and a former Itsekiri warlord, said on Thursday that Buhari should also probe the operations of the Amnesty Programme.
“If the layman’s understanding of the word amnesty is anything to go by, then it presupposes an arrangement where militants who genuinely turn in all their arms and ammunition are

Presidential Election 2015: Jonathan Questions Buhari’s Victory
President Goodluck Jonathan has, for the first time, questioned the results of the March 28 presidential election, maintaining that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is still the dominant party in Nigeria. Jonathan had congratulated Muhammadu Buhari, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), before the final result was announced but has now said he only did it for the unity of Nigeria. He said the PDP could not have recorded the low scores recorded for him in some areas, and attributed the loss in Benue and Kogi to infighting.
The president was speaking on Thursday at the submission of the report of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation (PPCO) at the new banquet hall of the presidential villa. Jonathan said: “PDP is still the dominant party. If you look at the result, the difference is just over two million votes. And if you look at the areas where it is perceived that PDP scored so low, PDP couldn’t have gotten those kinds of scores.” He said now that the elections are over, “I put the country first”. That Nigeria is at peace is worth celebrating, Jonathan said, appearing to confirm reports that

An investigation by SaharaReporters has revealed that several top civil servants and political figures in Delta State are involved in a fraudulent scheme by the state’s civil service commission. The fraud entails the sale of civil service jobs to desperate job seekers for as much as N1.5 million each.
Our investigators discovered the sale of employment slots began several weeks ago. Initially, slots
Whither Pet Projects By Former First Ladies?

However, many of these pet projects die with the exit of their founders. In this piece, Bukola Ogunsina looks at those that have gone into oblivion as well as those that have stood the test of time
These pet projects of former first ladies rooted in brilliant ideas are usually met with mixed feelings, some sweet and some sour.
