Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles because they look alike. if God had wanted us to be equal to blacks and Arabs, he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect.

Today in Abuja, President Buhari said all those found culpable in the Osborne Towers scandal will be made to account and appropriately sanctioned. Receiving a report of the panel established to review the operational, technical and administrative structure of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), President Buhari described the discovery of monies in the flat at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos, in April this year, as an ‘‘unfortunate incident which rightly aroused public interest and outcry.

An Egyptian military court sentenced a colonel Ahmed Konsowa to six years in prison after he announced plans to stand in the 2018 presidential election. Konsowa was given the jail term for “stating political opinions contrary to the requirements of military order”, his lawyer Asaad Heikal said. The colonel had announced he would be a candidate for president in video messages and a statement on Facebook on November 29. He was also accused of “appearing on the social network website Facebook in military uniform, contrary to the requirements of military order,” Heikal said. The 42-year-old has been in custody since his arrest on December 2 as military prosecutors investigated the case, Heikal said. On Tuesday, the lawyer said he will appeal the verdict. In his videos, and without mentioning President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi by name, Konsowa criticised Egypt’s policies in education, health and the economy. Heikal has said Konsowa followed Sisi’s example in announcing his candidacy. S
