The SGF was in Owerri on Friday where he was conferred with a Fellowship at the 5th Convocation of Imo State Polytechnic, Umuagwo.

Lawal said the Federal Government had already engaged over 30,000 youths through its numerous programmes and job creation, adding that one million youths would be gainfully employed before the end of
2017 .
He said the president inherited a lot of challenges ranging from insecurity to corruption, adding that the situation needed support and patience to fix the economy.
He said that everybody must join hand to rediscover the nation and to put it back to where it rightfully belong.
He said, “We have commenced a new journey of rapid and sustainable economic growth that will usher us prosperity despite all the challenges.
“Our economy should have been among the strongest in the world if not for the high level of corruption which is more evident in key sectors like education and health care delivery.”
The SGF said the administration had recorded huge success since it started the fight against corruption and had prosecuted many public office holders.
He added that the Whistleblowing policy had helped the administration recovered millions of naira from corrupt Nigerians, adding that the huge sum would be reinvested to boost the economy.
Lawal said that government was aware of the pains Nigerians were passing through. He assured that government was doing everything possible to address it.
“This government has introduced diversification policy and very soon we will begin to witness changes as we have witnessed in
rice and wheat production,” he said.
Gov. Rochas Okorocha said that this was not the time for Nigerians to weep or complain in the struggle for nationhood, but a time to comply.
According to him, Nigeria must write the history of this recession, just like other advanced nation did in their own struggle to greatness.
Okorocha further said Buhari’s main job was not to build skyscrapers but to lay a solid foundation for other successors to build.
He said Nigerians should continue to pray for the president as his emergence was divine and the purpose must be fulfilled.
Okrocha also admonished youths to de-emphasize the search for civil service jobs, but to see agriculture as the fastest means to create wealth.

You must start from listening to other people; you don’t just discover your talent.”

Multi-award winning Nigerian indegenous rapper of Yoruba decent, Olamide Adedeji popularly known as Olamide Baddo , has last Saturday at Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, won ‘The Sun Creative Personality of the Year award’ and described it as one of the greatest things to happen to his career.
The afro hip-hop superstar who won alongside Azubuike Chibuzo Nelson, also known as Phyno, said he would forever be grateful to the newspaper for the honour bestowed on him.
He was quoted as saying:-
“I feel very honoured, humbled and grateful to be recognised as The Sun Creative Personality of the Year. For someone like me coming from the ghetto, from nothing to something, to be recognised by an institution like The Sun, that also honours big politicians and big businessmen and women in the country; for me to be on the same platform with them, is a big deal. May God bless The Sun newspapers.
“Yes, this is the very first time that a major newspaper like The Sun would be giving me an award and I’m grateful. It goes a long way for a newspaper like The Sun to recognise me; you see my talent and you blow it out to the world, that for real, this guy is good; it goes a long way.
“I have been seeing The Sun right from when I was young; my daddy used to buy it. And for musicians like us to be recognised like this is not common.”
For a man who is familiar with The Sun, which column or pull out in the newspaper is his favourite? His response: “Most times I go to the business pages before anything else. I read the business pages first because I want to know what’s going in the business sector in our country. I’m more a businessman than a musician.”
Only recently, Olamide released his sixth studio album entitled, The Glory. But what actually inspired the 16-tracker and how is it doing in the music market?
He explained:-
“The Glory is doing very well, great as expected. Big shout out to all the fans that have been supporting me. The album actually made it to number six on the Billboard chart. It’s the very first Nigerian album to make it to Top 10 of the Billboard chart, and you know it can only be God.
“And God is greater than everyone of us. Because some people refuse to acknowledge and give glory to God when they get to where they prayed for, they get carried away and all that. I am trying to be an exemption; I’m trying to let the ghetto kids know it is not because I’m skillful or whatever, it’s because of God’s grace.
“I want the ghetto kids to believe in God. If someone like me from the ghetto of Bariga (in Lagos) can make it with the support of God and good people that believe in me, I believe anyone can also achieve success. Yes, the album is called ‘The Glory’ because it’s high time I let people know that God has been great and wonderful in my life.”
Famously known as Baddo by his numerous fans across the country, many will wonder how Olamide came about the nickname. And is he such a ‘bad guy’ that he’s nicknamed ‘ Baddo ’?
“I got the nickname from the street. People have been calling me that name right from the time I was in school. But then, I am not a bad guy. It’s just a nickname,” the musician said with a boisterous laughter.

Before You Think Of Taking Heavy Marijuana (Weed), Guys Read This!
Medical experts have warned against heavy marijuana usage as there is a growing occurrence of a rare illness that causes vomiting and abdominal pain among users.
The number of reported cases of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), also known as cyclical vomiting syndrome, are low compared with the overall number of marijuana users.
“When the decriminalization of medical marijuana occurred and the number of medical (marijuana) licenses in some
US states went up dramatically, we started seeing more and more cases of young, otherwise healthy people who would have multiple recurrent episodes of severe abdominal pain and vomiting and often end up in the
emergency room,” said Kennon Heard, chief of medical toxicology for the University of Colorado Anschutz medical campus in Aurora.
“If you talk to anyone who practices emergency medicine in the state of Colorado, they’re going to tell you they’ve seen this and they see it fairly frequently, and we see it in our emergency department on a daily or weekly basis.”
According to a study, CHS was first discovered in 2004 in Australia, where drug laws are liberal and physicians saw more heavy users of marijuana having bouts of vomiting and abdominal pain that lasted for years. All had been daily marijuana smokers for multiple years and quitting made the symptoms go away.
Only a small percentage of marijuana users had CHS. The Australian study consisted of just nine patients, and Heard’s study identified 36 people with the illness.
Heard says it often takes several hospital visits to confirm it because patients aren’t always open about their marijuana use.
The other major challenge for physicians is that nobody understands how or why marijuana use leads to vomiting or how much marijuana use causes the syndrome.
Heard says long-term use of high-grade marijuana may lead to changes in a system in the body that helps regulate the gastrointestinal tract.
Experts say that users who developed the syndrome had been smoking for years. But there has been nothing found to indicate why some users have CHS and others don’t.

Traders at the market expected the Naira to sell for less than N400 to a dollar if the boost in liquidity by the CBN was sustained.
