He said: "You will be able to link up to seven SIM numbers to only one. I have already downloaded the app, launched the app, and already linked some of my numbers immediately. This is part of digitalisation."

Fayose Questions Buhari's Recent CJN Appointment
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has raised the alarm over possibility of preventing Justice Walter Onnoghen from becoming the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), saying his appointment as Acting CJN was "either a grand plot to deprive him of .......
his well-deserved appointment as CJN because he is from the South-South region or those cabals in the Aso Rock Presidential Villa want to hold him in the jugular, using his confirmation as substantive CJN to get him to assist them to pervert justice."
In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said it was strange that despite that the National Judicial Council (NJC) recommended only Justice Onnoghen to President Muhammadu Buhari for appointment as the CJN in line with its rules, since October 13, his name was not sent to the Senate for confirmation.
The governor said that Nigeria is having an acting CJN for the first time in its history despite that Justice Onnoghen's name was sent to President Muhammadu Buhari early enough.
He said: "As at the time the NJC recommended Justice Onnoghen to President Buhari, it was 28 clear days to the November 10, 2016 retirement date of Justice Mahmud Mohammed.
"Why then was his (Justice Onnoghen) name not sent to the Senate for confirmation? Why appointing him as Acting CJN when his name should have been sent to the Senate between October 13, 2016 that he was recommended to the president and November 10, 2016 that Justice Mahmud Mohammed retired?
"Obviously, there is more to this acting CJN appointment than meet the eyes and in my opinion, it could be that President Buhari never wanted Justice Onnoghen as a substantive CJN because he is from the South-South or that they want to use his pending appointment as substantive CJN to make him do their biddings."
He lamented that "They have subdued the national assembly and are now in the last stage of muscling democracy by subduing the judiciary.
"If men of good conscience, especially leading lights in the legal profession refuse to raise their voices against this tyranny, they will all be consumed by the tyrant."
Governor Fayose, who said playing politics with the judiciary, especially at the CJN level was dangerous to the survival of democracy, urged Justice Onnoghen to do his job without fear or favour, "bearing in mind that it is only God that put people in positions."
"I am sure those who made sure Justice Onnoghen's name was not sent to the Senate for confirmation until the tenure of Justice Mahmud Mohammed expired knew what they were doing. They obviously needed a situation where the CJN, being in acting capacity will be subservient to them, using his appointment as substantive CJN as bait.
"However, Justice Onnoghen must live above that temptation of wanting to be the substantive CJN at the expense of strict adherence to the rule of law and principles of democracy.
"He must resist any attempt to further gag the judiciary even if that will cost him his appointment as the substantive CJN," the governor said.

"I Don't Think I Am Ready For Marriage", BBN's Kiddwaya
BBNaija star, Kiddwaya has said marriage is not on his to-do list at the moment because he is not ready to give his all to any woman. Speaking in an interview with This Day, he said, "I don't think I am ready for marriage. I think I have so much to achieve and so much to do. I am not saying you can't do that with marriage, but for me, I'm not ready to give myself 110 percent to somebody else and I believe when you enter marriage you need to be willing and absolutely committed to that person. I'm not in that position right now. I feel it is very important for people out there to understand that: don't force yourself into marriage unless you are ready mentally. It is not by force to get married . A lot of people force themselves to get married when they are not ready that is when they commit adultery. One has to be ready mentally before going into such commitment. For me, I am not ready. I will say God's time is the best time. One day, you will wake up and you will know that it's now ti

African Tourists Will Now Pay A Bond Of N5.7m Before Being Granted U.S Visa
The outgoing administration of US President, Donald Trump, has issued a new temporary rule for African tourists. According to Reuters, the new rule could require tourist and business travelers from two dozen countries, most in Africa, to pay a bond of as much as $15,000 (N5.7m) to visit the United States. The U.S. State Department said the temporary final rule, which takes effect December 24 and runs through June 24, targets countries whose nationals have higher rates of overstaying B-2 visas for tourists and B-1 visas for business travelers. The Trump administration said the six-month pilot program aims to test the feasibility of collecting such bonds and will serve as a diplomatic deterrence to overstaying the visas.
