While appreciating Aregbesola for the favour, Abbo urged President Muhammadu Buhari to give him a "big ministry" to oversee.


"I came to your house in Ikeja. You never knew me; you asked me to come to your office in Osogbo," the lawmaker said.
"You ushered me into your office where I explained my problem and you gave me the whole of your salary for that month to go to Adamawa and contest election.
"Today, through God's help, I am one of those confirming your nomination. My colleagues, please allow this detribalised Nigerian to take a bow and go.
"I want to also use this opportunity to ask President Muhammadu Buhari to give you a very big ministry," he added.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate.
