N13.5bn Monthly School Feeding Premeditated Fraud — Group Alleges, Seeks EFCC’s Intervention

May 16, 2020

A civil society group, Coalition Of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) has alleged that the reported daily school feeding at the cost of N679 million is a ploy by individuals in the Presidency to milk the country dry, saying it laughable.

The group said it is unbelievable to assume that the Federal government spends a whopping N13.5 billion monthly on school children at a moment when they are at home, insisting that it is a program designed to loot the nation’s treasury.

In a release jointly signed by Hon. Goodluck Egwu Ibem, the President General and Comrade Kanice Igwe, the Secretary General of the group, it called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate the claim and bring to book anyone involved in looting the nation’s resources.

“The purported spending of N679 million daily on feeding school children during the lockdown when the schools are not in session is a fraud perpetrated by some persons in the Presidency to liquidate the economy of Nigeria. It is laughable for anyone to come out in broad daylight to say that the federal government is spending N13.5 billion monthly to feed school that are at home.

“One is meant to believe that the essence of the entire lockdown is to enable some corrupt persons to loot and defraud the government of money meant for feeding school children. Even the most corrupt countries in the world will never come up to say that they are spending money on school children that are not in session.

“The recent looting spree has exposed the primary aim of the school feeding programme. The founders of the programme introduce it just to loot the treasury and now that the school are closed, the looting and fraud must go on . To them they must remain focused in their objective which is looting.

“We demand for immediate probe and prosecution of those who are looting our collective wealth in the name of feeding school children. The perpetrators of this wicked plan wants to ensure that Nigeria is brought to its knees. No sane country will allow such broad daylight robbery to stand.

“We call on the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, whose duties is to probe matters of corruption to move in immediately to arrest and prosecute all those involved in this unholy dirty dealing.

“This is not the time for selective prosecution by EFCC were only persons from the South East or Christians are prosecuted while Muslims and Fulanis are allowed to work free after committing huge fraud that can grand the economy.

“Enough of this insult on Nigerians. Nigeria is too big for a selected few to be playing with it. This huge corruption must not be swept under the carpet. The must be a thorough investigation and probe of this high level corruption. It has never happened anywhere in the world were a government will claim to spend money on feeding school that are not in session. Are they now feeding spirit school children? We need to know if ghosts and spirits are they ones they are feeding when the same FG made it very clear that everyone should stay at home and remain indoors.

“The time to unravel this great fraud is now. We are watching.” it says.

This news might be on the top of the list of the most shocking things you will see on the internet.

A couple was able to pull off a real naked wedding after getting about 40 family and friends and an officiator who agreed to go naked for their dream natural wedding.

Nigel Seymour, 59, and his now-wife Rachel, 30, reportedly met on a nudist holiday three years ago. They enjoyed a whirlwind romance before getting engaged after six months.

Nigel, a car restorer, proposed to Rachel in front of 400 naked strangers while on a trip.

The holiday was organized by British Naturism – a society for people who prefer living naked.

Rachel, a care assistant, and her husband Nigel decided they would be married while naked, surrounded by their closest friends and family.

Rachel said: “Our naked wedding made perfect sense, as it meant I didn’t have to spend £1,000 on a wedding dress.

“Getting married in the buff with your friends and family is still just as magical an experience. It felt really freeing.

“We met in the buff, Nigel proposed in the buff and we had a ceremony naked. It closed the chapter.”

Rachel joked that all guests had to bring to her “fun” naked wedding was a towel and sun cream.

Nigel added: “The reaction we’ve had from friends and family who did not attend the blessing was very much, ‘That’s not for us but you carry on and let us know how you get on’.

“But we loved every minute of it.”

The couple had asked around to find an officiator who would conduct the ceremony naked.

The person they found was not a naturist but agreed to go nude for the occasion.

After their wedding, the couple set off for a naked honeymoon in the world’s largest naturist village in France.

Being naked feels normal to Rachel, who grew up with a naturist father named Harvey Allen.

Harvey Allen, 74, was the photographer at his daughter’s wedding.

Whereas, Nigel only entered the lifestyle nine years ago at the age of 50.

He said: “What I liked was that you had no idea what people did in their day-to-day lives – whether they were a judge, a doctor, or a police officer.

“Being naked just levels everyone out.”

Nigel says it doesn’t matter what race, size or career you have in the nude as “nobody judges you”.

However, for their legal ceremony, the couple decided to wear clothes, Daily Star reports.

ABN TV EDITOR

May 15, 2020

Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau says a federal wage subsidy for employees in businesses hit hard by COVID-19 will last at least until the end of August.

The subsidy was set to expire in the first week of June, only a few weeks after the first payments rolled out.

Trudeau says the idea is to give employers more runway and confidence to resume operations slowly if they have to.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau is to reveal details of a broadening of the program later today.

Trudeau also says the government will make adjustments to the program, including changes to the threshold for how much qualifying companies’ revenues must have declined, to ensure employers can access the help as business kicks back up.

The subsidy covers 75 percent of wages for employers that have seen sharp declines in revenue since the novel coronavirus pandemic hit Canada hard in March, up to $847 per worker, per week.
