Three Persons travelling at night have died in an accident along the Lagos-Ibadan highway on Wednesday.

The Road Crash, DAILY POST learnt, occurred around 3:15am at Mile 12 Market, Ogere axis of Ogun State.

Three vehicles were involved, namely a Micra car with registration number BDJ257XF, a truck registered as T4916LA, and another truck with no registration number.

Seven persons were involved in the crash, one of whom was a woman, it was learnt.

While three of the six men died, other passengers, including the female adult were rescued unhurt.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) confirmed the incident, saying the incident was caused by one of the trucks.

Okpe disclosed that corpses of the deceased victims had been deposited at the FOS, Ipara.

She added that the crash obstructed the highway, leading to traffic diversion being managed by FRSC personnel, who are making efforts to remove the obstruction away from the road.

Three Night Travellers Die In Ogun Road Crash

The funniest set of individuals are people who think Peter Obi's baby voice is a reflection of who he is.

The truth is, the title Okwute was not only because he was named after Peter the Rock but because the faint voiced, baby faced business man gave kidnappers, insurrectionists and armed robbers hell and chased them out of Anambra State.

I was born and brought up in Onitsha and I had prior to Peter's coming, lived through more than 30 daylight bank robbery.

If you lived in Onitsha then, you'd remember bikemen chasing after white or yellow Mitsbushi L300 bus popularly known and referred to as Onu Azụ to collect their own share of the loot.

Yes, their own share.

Bank robbers rob banks, bikemen and other brave road users go after them effectively blocking any attempts by police to chase them, bank robbers continue shooting in the air and then after a while, open the back of the bus and spray part of their loots for these men to pick.

We lived through the legend of the female bank robbers leader who was also their main shooter.

It was also the time when things like 'stray bullet' (Umunachi people call it 'strange bullet') entered our dictionary. Unfortunate bystanders get hit and kikled by bullets from these marauding thieves.

Upper New Market Road, New Market Road and Old Market Road which was effectively the Central Business District in Onitsha played host to most of the banks in the city was turned into a war zone at least once a month.

Police morale was so low that we all heard stories of police men and women wearing civilian clothes under their uniform, vigilante groups stepped into the lacuna created but with poor funding and legislation weighing them down, there was so much they could do and they most times paid the ultimate price (May the soul of Ideke and the souls of all the brave men and women who died protecting Onitsha continue to rest in peace). 

While armed robbers were rampaging on one end, kidnappers led by Evans and other kingpins were cherry picking the elites in the city, Ezego, GUO and a host of others were kidnapped, some kidnaps happened within church premises, schools, eateries and the rest.

And then the third end of the criminal trident was made up of petty criminals hiding under the flag of the rising sun and the name MASSOB to hold the commercial city hostage, most people who lived in Onitsha South area of the metropolis will most likely remember that MASSOB under Uwazurike was running an alternate government there, collecting duties and levies and enforcing their own laws.

And then there was Upper Iweka, yes, that Upper Iweka, the name alone sent chills down the spines of travellers and residents, people were robbed there during the day and at night and if they were unfortunate enough, they lost more than their possessions. 

Then in comes this 'baby faced, faint voiced former bank manager' who did the impossible and wrestled power from a sitting governor.

We were bemused to put it lightly and we called him names Adaobi Rita Obi, Ogbono Nkita Obi, amongst others.

Because we were a people in love with our chains, we fought against this new order, we composed mocking songs amongst others.

But this man ignored us and set out to work.

By the time he was done, Oso MASSOB has happened in Fegge, Evans and others abandoned the state, bank robberies and armed robbery effectively ended, and Upper Iweka got a new face-lift, even agberos self collect under Peter Obi, nobody going against the law had it easy under him.

He advocated for a law that gave the state the powers to confiscate and demolish premises belonging to kidnappers and other criminal elements and he followed through to the letter. 

I remember the midnight and early morning raids, living in Ime Ogbe then, we all woke up to hearing doors being broken and known criminal elements whisked away.

Community policing was strengthened as vigilant groups got operating vehicles and other supports from the government, citizens could report crimes and the locations of criminal elements without fear of being exposed.

We went from a state where thieves wrote open letters to homes and communities and still brazenly carry out their threats to a state where one could go to sleep with both eyes closed.

And all these happened under a man who you all said that he doesn't have chukwuka abi chutzpah.

Okwute aburo guy name ooo.

And if he says he no dey give shishi, don't believe him ooo, he gave criminals in the state hell.

Daddy Gachi.

Chutzpah Or Not: The Peter Obi That Evans Fears.

Yahaya Bello, the governor of Kogi State, has once again sparked conversation on social media, this time among Ghanaians as well as Nigerians, as the governor's standards for Kogi projects are being used by Ghanaians online to disparage their former president, John Dramani Mahama.

Bello's mobile clinic was utilized in a tweet by a Ghanaian named Kay with the handle @Kwesi Agyei_ to draw the former president's attention to the fact that the governor's mobile clinic is the benchmark required in Ghana.

The governor is currently being portrayed in the viral tweet as one of the best African leaders, making several Nigerians regret not backing him to become their country's next president. The post has received hundreds of replies.

Bello has publicized a number of his projects and accomplishments in Kogi State during the last few days. Nigerians and other Africans consider the majority of the projects to be of the highest caliber and the benchmark for contemporary society.

Due to this, some Nigerians have taken to social media to apologize for not supporting the governor during the primary elections when Bello ran for the position of the nation's next president.

Mr.Jollof fires back at Lawyers Criticising Malcolm from appearing in Olokun or traditional attire in court. 

Pix, Video

Lawyers move to stop their colleague from appearing in Olokun or traditional attire in court.

Again it was seen in a video where a Nigerian lawyer Malcolm Omirhobo storms Lagos court dressed in traditional worshippers regalia.

Last week, Malcolm Omirhobo, made news when he attended proceedings at the Supreme Court dressed in the same manner.

According to him, he is only following the approval of the Supreme Court in its judgment on June 17 allowing Nigerians to express their mode of worship which includes the use of Hijabs in schools and places of worship.

This morning, he stormed the Federal High Court in Lagos dressed in the same manner. He rebuffed an attempt by the court officials to storm from going in.

Mr Jollof Reacts To Lawyers Criticising Malcolm Over Traditional Attire In Court

Chairman, greetings.
Pls, here is a statement, countering the rumours and fake social media publications to the effect that Dr. Ayu has been suspended by the NWC.

RESS STATEMENT FOR URGENT RELEASE, PLS (29/06/2022):

Ayu still PDP National Chairman

Earlier today, mischievous stories broke on the social media to the effect that the PDP National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, has been "suspended over allegations of misappropriation."

The stories further add that the Deputy National Chairman (North), Amb. Umar Damagun, has been appointed in his place in acting capacity. This is supposed to have followed a phantom emergency of the PDP National Working Committee (NWC).

Even though we do not wish to dignify falsehood with a response, an official reaction is necessary in order to stem the tide of misinformation.

We, therefore, state as follows:

1. Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP National Chairman remains the PDP National Chairman.

2. Dr. Ayu took a well-deserved, two-week leave on 21st June, 2022. He will be back next week to resume duties, specifically on July 6, 2022.

3. A stickler for due process, Dr. Ayu formally handed over to the Deputy National Chairman (North), Amb. Umar Damagun.

4. And the Deputy National Chairman has held forth admirably since that day.

It was in that acting capacity that he (Damagun) today, presided over the inauguration of the Osun State Gubernatorial Campaign Council, headed by the Executive Governor of Bayelsa State, H.E. Douye Diri.

5. If not that the authors of the mischievous and baseless Facebook posts were out to serve nefarious interests, they would have heard when the acting national chairman, Amb. Damagun, said during the ceremony today: "On behalf of my able National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, I hereby inaugurate you."

6. The general public is, therefore, advised to ignore the mischievous social media publications as they are purely the work of mischief makers and idle minds.

ASAKE is the Nigerian Quavo because, from the little resemblance in swag, taste, facial expressions, hairstyle choice, charisma and drip.

Asake's style of delivery is a sonorous chorus undertone with an angelic voice, omg, its heavenly. It's like having ear orgasm, you know like rubbing your ears with feather. 

We can say that Asake and Portable started a New movement just like the Migos did in 2013, birthing a new era in Music which we are currently witnessing in 2022. In no time, we will have more artist doing the exact same style as Asake and Portable. To discover artists using the same style, search up Seyi Vibe, Balloranking, Lyta and others. 

Asake is pioneering a new movement just like in 2013 when Migos released their commercial debut single "Versace" taken from their mixtape Y.R.N. (Young Rich Niggas).

Migos introduced their iconic rap style, catchy and dynamic which was later to be adopted by the likes of : Trippie Redd, Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, Chief keef and Lil Pump, among others. It even got to a point where all the rappers were copying the Migos.

Asake is a future GOAT, he will inspire a lot of fuji musicians to go international as he's already proved the sky is the limit.

Saw video clip where Peter Obi is talking to Nigerians in America, he was saying hold your LG Chairman when u see him don’t celebrate him. Hold your Governor don’t celebrate him. That d FG gives each LG 100 million every month.

But come to think of it, is it not hypocrisy that when he was Governor for 8 years, he did not conduct LG elections in his case there would be no LG chairman to hold.

So what happened to d LG funds when he was Governor. B4 Peter Obi throw stones in d market place he must remember that he too lived in a glass house.

Former military Governor of Bauchi State, Maj. Gen. Chris Garuba (Rtd.), has felicitated with HRM. Pastor (Dr.) Elaigwu Odogbo Obagaji John, on the occasion of his installation as Agabaidu Och'Idoma (V) by His Excellency, Dr. Samuel Ortom, the Executive Governor of Benue State.

Recall that Dr. John Elaigwu, a 52-year-old Deeper Life Pastor was elected as the new Och’Idoma and Chairman of the Idoma Area Traditional Council (ATC), in December last year, following the hunting expedition embarked upon by the Och’Idoma IV, His Royal Majesty, Agabaidu Elias Ikoyi Obekpa last October.

The former military administrator, who holds the traditional title of the Okeno K'Idoma, in his congratulations letter, expressed confidence that the royal father is equal to the task of the revered office. 

As the monarch settles down for the challenges ahead, Gen. Garuba prayed God to bless him with the "wisdom of Solomon" to discharge his responsibilities of upholding the unity and peace of the Idoma people successfully.

He assured Agabaidu of his prayers and support, and that of his family, and entire Idoma nation always.

As a man I have noticed something, not having money will make you feel the full wrath of the female gender. We all Redpillars already know that only our mothers can love us unconditionally, for women that love is strictly for their children alone. 
When I was broke, women showed me hell. They mocked me for being broke, they broke shamed me every time they see me walk past, it was a nightmare. I couldn’t dare say hi to any of them without them making me feel like a failure with their eyes and body languages.
Last year I made my first big bag, and then I changed my wardrobe, changed my phone, bought a good skin care product. That’s when I noticed the change!
All of a sudden, I became the friend of all the women in my area. Even when I don’t greet them first, they would greet me and just try to make sure I noticed them. I started having girls that I didn’t know kiss me all because I acted friendly towards them and they saw my huge spending power. Imagine going to a restaurant daily and spending nothing less than 5k each day for months like that, the girls there literally started to kiss me when I walk in.

That’s when I figured it out, women are wired like this! They don’t truly love any man or hate any man, they react only to what they see..and if what they see looks like wealth and power they force their way into it. 

Be not be deceived! They don’t really like you, they like what they see. They will use you till you’re bled dry and the move on to the next target. Men to women are nothing but a jar of milk , they won’t stop milking till there’s nothing left. I understand the whole relationship between a man and a woman now, I used to think they didn’t like me till I started to shine in their eyes. I will never in this life put a woman before my dreams or my mother. All the love I have is now transferred only to my dear mom. And hopefully one day my beautiful child. I am a Strong red pillar, and I will never be deceived by the inncocent harmless look and mannerisms of the feminine gender.

Men please chase your goals and leave relationships alone, if you’re very comfortable already and don’t mind settling with a liability that you will spend each day impressing, that’s good for you. But this thread is for men who want to get every single thing this beautiful life has to offer before their days are over, AVOID USERS AND LIABILITIES. Women have several tricks to trap men into their world, they are very smart creatures. They know what to say or how to act to make you fall into their traps. Chase your dreams, love your mom, love your kids, follow God, make that money and be kind.

But never chase any woman, she will never love you unconditionally like you will love her. She’s not wicked, it’s just her feminine nature.

I have learned the greatest lesson of my life.

Men, Kings, My Brothers...please Open Your Eyes

Zambia, a country governed by corrupt and clueless leaders over the years woke up last year through a well coordinated and action packed Youth Movement, successfully removed Edgar Lungu of the LP, a man adjudged as one of the most corrupt leaders in Africa in the 2021 General Election.

The Zambian Youths trooped out and launched a well organised and massive campaign for Hakainde Hichilema of the UPND a younger and forward looking technocrat who is also a trader and farmer just like Peter Obi. He preached economic prosperity, unity and cohesiveness. He also promised to create jobs through industrialisation. The message sunk into the brains of every Youth in Zambia irrespective of his or her religious and ethnic background. The Zambian Youths got Hichilema duly elected as the their President. Since his election, Zambia has become very peaceful and the new government is quietly putting things in place to reposition Zambia positively.

If Zambian Youths could successfully launch such a democratic campaign against a repressive government that had held them hostage over the years, and remove Lungu in a landslide victory, what about the more sophisticated Youths of Nigeria? Nigerian Youths are more sophisticated, more courageous, technologically more advanced, more educated and above all fearless.

The rest of the African Youths are waiting patiently to see what their colleagues in Nigeria are capable of doing. If Nigerian Youths successfully installs a new order in the governance of Nigeria come 2023, then the gateway for the true emancipation and liberation of Africa would have been established, opened and strengthened. Let the wind of true change continue to blow.

Ladies that love mood swings... why?

So, we had this discussion in a meeting generally about relationship/gender. 
We got to this point and, the ladies were asked what causes their mood swings and why are some of them so obsessed or should I say used to this attitude.

To my surprise, they all blamed it on their menstrual flow, ovulation and some other things that goes between this cycle of menstrual flow and ovulation. 
This caused a serious debate between the guys and ladies.

So, I brought this question here. What causes your mood swings, and why are some of you so obsessed with it?

The Religion of Peace

> On the evening of June, 23, 2022, Muslim mobs attacked the homes of Coptic Christians, including by hurling stones through their windows, in al-Hilla, a village in Luxor governate, Upper Egypt.

The occasion of this latest Muslim mob attack on Egypt’s indigenous Christian minority was the legalization of the Church of Michael the Archangel. Although the church was originally built in 2003, it only received formal recognition last week. As soon as the decree (signed by the prime-minister) was issued, after years of waiting, to legalize the church —and in anticipation of expected fanatic Muslim ire—the local security department of the district dispatched a security force to protect, and set up barriers around, the church.

On learning that the church that had been built nearly two decades ago was finally going to start functioning as a “church,” Muslims throughout the village “rejected the matter,” says one report, “and the process of charging and inflaming the people’s feelings began,” as mobs cried out that the building or renovation of a church contradicts shari‘a , or Islamic, law (as well captured by the Conditions of Omar, a document purportedly drawn up by Caliph Omar I, which, among several other severe stipulations placed on Christians, holds that new churches can never be built, and preexisting but dilapidated churches can never be repaired).

Before long, the angry mobs, which were augmented by others from neighboring villages, had grown very large and, “amidst hostile chants”—which no doubt included Islam’s jihadist war-cry, “Allahu Akbar!”—began hurling stones through the windows of Coptic homes. According to the report, “the security force charged with protecting the church tried to rebuff them, but the number of assailants was too large .”

Before peace could be regained, many Christian h omes had been damaged; several vehicles and motorcycles parked in front of Coptic homes were also “smashed” or set aflame, including the village priest’s vehicle.

On the following day, Friday, Luxor police forces reinforced their presence in the village in anticipation of more Muslim anger following Friday mosque prayers—when imams habitually whip the faithful into a frenzy concerning the alleged sins of the “infidels” who need to be punished. Armed security and national forces—including several armored vehicles—were deployed all throughout the village, especially around the Church of Michael the Archangel, Christian homes, and surrounding mosques.

Meanwhile, and as the report notes, the traumatized Copts maintain that their “only sin” was to have “obtained an official decision to legalize the church. ”
It is worth noting that the above s cenario has played out countless times in Egypt: whenever a church is built, legalized, or repaired—or is merely rumored to be built, legalized, or repaired—local Muslims riot and attack the Copts. Authorities frequently respond by appeasing the rioters and rescinding the church’s legal status, effectively shutting it down.

Time will tell if the law will, once again, be subservient to Muslim mob rule, or if justice will prevail for the Church of Michael the Archangel.

> LAGOS – Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has turned down a proposal to pick either Senate President, Ahmad Lawan and Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello as his running mate, sources in the party informed Daily Independent on Wednesday.

Our correspondent gathered that both Lawan and Bello who contested the APC presidential primary with Tinubu earlier this month have been lobbying President Muhammadu Buhari and other stakeholders to prevail on the former Lagos state governor to choose them as his running mate.

While Tinubu won the primary with 1,271 votes, Lawan polled 152 votes while Yahaya Bello got 47 votes.

Our source, a former Minister in the South-Western part of the country said though Tinubu has no issues with picking a Muslim as his running mate, he flatly rejected both of them as they are direct contestants with him and they have their minds set on becoming president.

“Yes both men (Lawan and Bello) have been making moves to be nominated as vice-presidential candidates but I can assure you that Asiwaju is not considering them at all. He met with President Buhari shortly before his trip to France and I strongly believe that must have been part of their discussions as both men have been lobbying the president to prevail on Asiwaju to consider them”.

“ Even those of who are associates of Asiwaju Tinubu are against their choice as both of them are not strong personalities that can bring the needed votes in the North” he said.
Tinubu who used Ibrahim Masari as a placeholder in his nomination form to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) stated last weekend at the 60th birthday of the Speaker of the House of Reps, Femi Gbajabiamila that he is still in a search of a running mate.

Eight people in eastern Burkina Faso have been killed in an attack by Islamists on a baptism party, a security source and a local resident said on Tuesday.

The Religion of Peace <-Source

> “A terrorist attack” in the village of Sandiaga in Koulpelogo province “left eight civilians dead”, the security source said.

The toll was confirmed by a local resident, who said armed men burst into a baptism ceremony on Monday morning and opened fire.

On Sunday, six people died and two were injured in two villages in the northern province of Bam when carts carrying women were hit by roadside bombs, another security source said.

The landlocked Sahel state, one of the world’s poorest countries, is in the grip of a nearly seven-year-old jihadist insurgency.

Thousands of people have died and nearly two million have been driven from their homes.

On June 20, the army declared it would set up two no-go zones, banning all human activity and presence, to help its campaign against the militants.

The two areas, reputed to be a haven for the islamists, are in the northern Soum province bordering Mali, and the protected natural reserves between Pama and the “W” National Park in the east.

The announcement came after 86 civilians were massacred in the northern border village of Seytenga.

The military have given inhabitants two weeks in which to leave the area.

Muslims Invade Church During Baptism, Murder 8

We were all classmates in secondary school back in the days. 

It was my WAEC year, so I decided to rent one room near my school and concentrate on my studies. 
One of the most beautiful girls in my class who got married then, (she was between 20-22 years old) parked into the same compound. This is probably to have more time alone for her studies.
We were close as classmates who were leaving in the same compound but to my surprise, she wanted something else apart from the normal class discussion. I never entered her room.

She continued until she saw and confirmed (through my body language) that I was not interested in sleeping with her.

I am happy I avoided that temptation.

I have other experiences but let me leave here

No surprises that people like Fayose are openly coming out to endorse another candidate aside Atiku. It’s always been about personal interest for his likes and nothing more. A sour and failed loser who couldn’t even win his state in the last election for his party.

As it stands, PDP is the only party that has shown clearly that it is ready for the presidential election. Other parties are still getting their asses together and we don’t know how long this take them, even when the deadline is less than 3weeks or so.

Why Wike Cannot Work Against Atiku

Police in Anambra State has killed two persons alleged to be kidnappers, after a gun duel.

The State Police command’s spokesperson, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga who revealed this in a press statement said the incident happened Tuesday night, at about 12midnight.

Ikenga said: “Anambra State Police Operatives while on patrol along Obosi Nkpor road by Obosi town hall at about 11:39pm on 26/6/2022, accosted a gang of armed men in a white Toyota Hiace bus, a red Toyota Corolla car and a motorcycle.

“The operatives engaged the armed men in a gun battle, neutralized two of the hoodlums and recovered one pump action, one locally fabricated pistol and a red Toyota Corolla with reg number AKD 303 DW.

“During the gun duel with the hoodlums, the superior firepower of the operatives made the assailants flee the scene with the Toyota Hiace bus and a motorcycle.

“Meanwhile, Police has intensified patrol in the area and improved operational positioning to respond to distress calls, especially aimed at arresting other fleeing gang members.”

Ikenga said on the same day, the same set of operatives had while patrolling along central school road, Umusiomen Nkpor, Ogidi recovered a white Mercedes Benz 350 with reg. Nos RSH 836 BE suspected to have been abandoned by criminal elements.

Another exploit by men of the command listed is the rescue of two suspects from mob action along Zik’s Avenue Awka.

He said: “The suspects were caught armed with a locally made pistol as they attempted to dispossess a young lady of her cash, after withdrawing money from an ATM point.

“The suspects were already beaten to a stupor by the angry mob before police rescued them. The operatives also recovered the locally made pistol and one live cartridge from the criminals.”

Police Kill Two Gunmen, Recover Weapons In Anambra

> At the 2022 Men of Valor Conference organized by Revival House of Glory Church (RHOGIC) at Wuye-Abuja, last Sunday, Peter Obi was invited as one of three speakers.

The conference theme was ‘Navigating the Corridors of Power: The Church and Politics.’ During the panel discussion, the moderator posed this question to Peter Obi: “In terms of reaching the youth and reaching people, what are your thoughts about how the church can mobilize young people?”

Here’s Obi’s reply: “It’s a very simple thing. That’s what we are doing here. The church has to know that we’ve passed the time of praying. It’s not going to be solved by praying alone. It has to be solved by action. If you like, pray for the rest of your life. With this people? They will never go away. You must chase them away. They are not people you’ll remove by prayer. It is time to act; not to pray.”

He goes on to make a remark about the fact that the insecurity we see crippling Nigeria today has been caused by us. “The people we refused to educate yesterday are the ones chasing us out of our houses today.”

Then he returns to the theme of Christian-inspired political action. This is what he said: “Do you know how Marcos left office in the Philippines? Marcos left office because on a Sunday, Cardinal Sin finished church service. Instead of saying ‘The Mass is ended let us go,’ he told everybody, ‘Follow me and block the presidential lodge.’ After three days President Marcos and his wife left. It is time for us to close the church and deal with this people.”

For many years I have been interested in the question about how the church can positively impact politics and social development in Nigeria in an enduring way. Last Sunday at a zoom discussion with a couple of other priests, I made the point about how religion in Nigeria is diminishing personal and corporate social agency because we have resorted to using religion, in Eddie Iroh’s words, like a drunkard who uses a lamp post not for illumination but for support.

Here’s just one example: How do Nigerian Christians end their commentary on the frustrations they are enduring? “God will help us.” “May God save us.” And yet we know that God will not come down from heaven and do for us what he has given us the wisdom and intelligence to do for ourselves. We can pray, fast, do crusades, hold vigils and revivals, go up to the mountain or come down to the valley, if we do not make the connection between faith and political action, we have not started.

We need to wake up from the slumber of a distorted religious outlook that substitutes prayer for hard work. Prayer has its place; but prayer without action, faith without work, is dead on arrival. This is the time to dust our books on Catholic social teaching and put the “church’s best kept secret” to good use for the common good of Nigeria and all Nigerians. This is for me the surest pathway  to national rebirth.

Jaime Cardinal Lachica Sin tried it in the Philippines and it worked. Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, John Paul II’s mentor, tried it in Poland and it worked. Cardinal Francois Xavier Nguyen van Thuan spinned it in Vietnam and lacerated communism’s backbone. Each of these 20th century churchmen paid a huge cost for bearing prophetic witness and mobilizing their people for change in their countries, but ultimately, they and their people won.

Like Peter Obi has said, “It is time for us to close the church and deal with this people.” What happens after “Go, the Mass is ended” must now be a clearly defined program for political and social revolution!

Peter Obi: It Is Time For Us To Close The Church And Deal With These People

> President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has disclosed that a delegation from its Committee on Foreign Affairs would depart Nigeria on July 1, 2022, to pay a visit to Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife.

Lawan made this known on Wednesday, while giving details into the outcome of a closed session held by the upper chamber before the start of plenary proceedings.

According to Lawan, the decision to wade into Ekweremadu’s arrest and detention over allegations of organ harvesting was against the backdrop of a briefing received by the Nigerian High Commissioner to London.

He further disclosed that the Senate would engage the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Nigerian High Commission in London on the recent arrest of Senator Ike Ekweremadu by the London Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom.

He said, “I had a personal engagement with our Nigerian High Commissioner to Britain, Alhaji Isola Sarafa, who has done so well to establish contact with our colleague, who has been able to get his team to be in the court at Uxbridge  where Ekweremadu was taken to.

“The high Commission has also been able to provide some consular services that include the engagement of some lawyers who will defend our colleague.

“We commend them for giving attention to the issue at stake. Equally, the Nigeria Foreign Affairs Minister has been engaged here, so that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs takes steps to provide diplomatic support for our colleague.

“Because this issue is already in court, we have limited opportunity to discuss beyond what we have done so far.

“But I want to ensure the family of our colleague, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and Nigerians, that the Senate will continue to engage with our ministry of foreign affairs as well as our high commission in London.

“The High Commission has done so much but we still expect that it will continue to provide any other further consular services.

“We have also mandated our committee on foreign affairs to engage with the British high commission here in Nigeria, to find more details on this case, as  as far as the high commission is involved.

“There will be a delegation to London to see Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife. A delegation from the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Senate will leave in the next two days to London for that purpose.

“I want to urge all federal government institutions that can do anything to ensure that Justice prevails in this case, that they do so.”

EKITI GOVERNOR-ELECT, OYEBANJI VISITS FAYOSE

Ekiti State Governor-elect, Mr Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji on Wednesday paid a courtesy visit to the Lagos residence of former Governor of the State, Mr Ayodele Fayose.

The visit was sequel to the congratulatory messages sent to Oyebanji by the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the June 18 election, Chief Bisi Kolawole, Ekiti State chapter of PDP and Ex-Governor Fayose respectively, hailing the outcome of the election, won by the APC candidate.

Oyebanji said the visit was to extend courtesies to Fayose as a former governor of the state, who, according to him, demonstrated statesmanship by congratulating him shortly after he was declared winner of the June 18 election.

Former Governor Fayose, while receiving the Governor-elect, urged him be magnanimous in victory and to see himself as the Governor of Ekiti State and leader of the people regardless of their political affiliation.

He promised to support Oyebanji’s administration in whatever area his support would be needed, adding that the development of Ekiti State is a collective effort.

It is recalled that Oyebanji had earlier gone on a thank you visit to the Governor of the State, Dr Kayode Fayemi in Ado-Ekiti, a day after the incumbent Governor led two other APC governors to visit him at his Ikogosi Ekiti country home.

The Governor-elect has also visited the first civilian Governor of the state, currently Minister of Investments, Trade and Industry, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, at his Iyin-Ekiti country home earlier in the week. He had earlier visited Chief Deji Fasuan, the nonagenarian elder statesman who chaired the committee for the creation of Ekiti State, under whom he served as Secretary (to the committee) as well as the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, HRM, Oba Rufus Adeyemo Adejugbe.

> Why I made him the Jagaban - Dr. Halliru Dantoro, Emir of Borgu speaks

'I knew Bola Ahmed @officialABATwhen we were at the National Assembly as senators. He belonged to a different party (SDP) while I was in NRC. But we had a common interest when it came to telling the truth.

We said it as it was then. He knew my vision even when the June 12 issue was in the front burner. I could see the injustices and I stood by fairness because I detest injustice. 

You can see that I identified myself with the aspiration of Nigerians.

At one time he said he wanted me to go and see Late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola but I told him I never had any need from Abiola. If I went there, that meant I was going there for money. But what we were doing was right and posterity will judge us.

So we had a lot of things in common and we had been friends since then. He saw me as being straightforward, honest and sincere in all my dealings with him. Not for any material gain.

In fact, when I began my legal sojourn in the Emirship tussle he also supported me in terms of advice because it was a tough battle for me. It was tough taking on the government and we had to employ the services of a senior advocate of Nigeria in the person of Wole Olanipekun.

When God made me the Emir I said this man was there when I was in dire need of help so why can’t I use my position to make him what I feel will help him in future politically. That was why I honoured him with the title of ‘Jagaban.’ Jagaban means ‘Leader of Warriors.’

Why I Made Him The Jagaban

• Retired CJN entitled to gratuity that is 300% of N3.36m annual basic – Investigation

> By Adelani Adepegba, Friday Olokor, DeborahTolu-Kolawole, Sami Olatunji, Tope Omogbolagun, Solomon Odeniyi, Nathaniel Shuaibu and Lilian Ukagwu

The immediate past Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Muhammad, is expected to get a N2.5bn severance package from the Federal Government.

Muhammad’s resignation on health grounds was announced on Monday, less than a week after the 14 Supreme Court Justices accused him of financial malfeasance and maladministration.

Following the development, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Monday swore in Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, the next most senior Justice as the acting CJN.

As part of the package for the retired chief justice put together by the National Judicial Council, a mansion will be built for him in Abuja or any city of his choosing with a lump sum for furnishing.

This is in addition to a gratuity that is 300 per cent of his annual basic salary of N3.36m as well as a pension for life.

The National Judicial Commission had in 2019 recommended the payment of N2.5bn for Muhammad’s predecessor, Walter Onnoghen.

A former CJN, Alfa Belgore, was also reportedly paid about N2.8b after he retired from service.

Just like state governors, a retired chief justice is entitled to at least four domestic staff and sundry allowances for personal upkeep.

This includes allowances for accommodation, utilities, entertainment, medical, security, furniture, and vehicles.

Though the remuneration and severance package of political, public and judicial officers were published on the website of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, the full details of the allowances were not disclosed.

The PUNCH gathered that the former CJN would get the financial package based on the provisions of Section 291 (2) and (3a-c) of the 1999 Constitution as well as Section 2 of the Pensions Rights of Judges Act.

A senior lawyer said Muhammad, being the head of the judiciary, would be well paid so that he would not have to work again for life.

“The severance package is as humongous as the one paid to former Senate President. He would also be a member of the Council of State,” he added.

Corroborating this, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria who does not want to be quoted, stated, “His entitlements are enormous. He’s entitled to a house anywhere in Abuja, domestic staff, cars, salaries and allowances for life. Judges are being overworked because, by the time they retire at 70, they are not always looking young.”

A source in the NJC confirmed the severance package. He noted, “Honestly, his gratuity and pension will be intact, what he’s earning will continue. They will give him his official cars. He’s entitled to houses anywhere in the country. This is done by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission. All of them are choosing Abuja, but I don’t know the amount he would be paid.”

RMFAC could not be reached for comment. Its outgoing chairman, Elias Mbam did not respond to calls and SMS seeking his comment on the severance package for retired CJN.

This is as the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters on Tuesday received a fresh order to probe the newly retired CJN over the allegations of corruption levelled against him by 14 Supreme Court Justices.

President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, mandated the Committee led by Senator Opeyemi Bamidele to probe the allegations against the CJN and the crisis presently rocking the judiciary.

Announcing the probe of the former CJN during plenary on Tuesday, Lawan recalled that on June 21, he drew the attention of the Senate to the media reports on the state of affairs in the Supreme Court where Justices of the apex court in a petition raised issues bordering on deplorable welfare conditions and difficult working environment, which was addressed to the CJN and Chairman, National Judicial Council.

He emphasised the need for the Senate to urgently step into the matter as any issue that concerned the judiciary was of urgent national importance that the Senate could not afford to sit idly by and allow it to spiral out of control.

Accordingly, the Senate President directed the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters to unravel the root cause of the recent development in the judiciary and how best the upper chamber could address the concerns raised by the Justices.

Lawan said, “The chamber mandates the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters to go ahead with its assignment in the quest to find a lasting solution to the matter by interacting with relevant stakeholders to address the complaints raised in the petition by the Justices of the Supreme Court.

“Mandate the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters to interface with the relevant stakeholders in the three arms of Government as well as the Bar and the Bench and collate aggregate views and positions on the short-term, medium-term and long-term measures needed to decisively address the crisis facing the judiciary, including the immediate fiscal intervention as well as long-term and sustainable budgetary allocations required for the optimal performance of the judiciary, in line with global best practices; and urge the Senate to wish the Hon. Chief Justice well, following many years of meritorious service to the nation and to pray for his good health.”

Lawan noted that Justices were taciturn and reticent in handling issues outside their judicial domain but resorting to such measures to protect the Judiciary required the Senate to rise to the occasion to ensure that their demands were addressed.

The committee chairman, Senator Bamidele, said his team was taking steps to look into the matter as directed by the President of the Senate by making arrangements to interface with relevant stakeholders both at the Bar and the Bench.

Bamidele said, “The poor welfare of judicial officers would affect the delivery of the judiciary in respect of their output and will prevent them from performing optimally.

“The sacred image of the judiciary, which is the epicentre of the temple of justice, should be preserved by the Senate through appropriate legislative measures to safeguard this highly revered institution and prevent it from being ridiculed.”

Bamidele regretted that though Muhammad voluntarily resigned on Sunday, the development, he said, would not prevent the Committee from going ahead with its assignment in the quest to find a solution to the matter.

Muhammad battling condition before appointment, visits Dubai for treatment – Source

Meanwhile, more facts have emerged on memory disorder, the medical condition which precipitated the resignation of the former CJN.

According to the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, memory disorders are disorders of cognition, the ability to reason, remember, make decisions and communicate.

The illness may include dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, vascular cognitive impairment and hydrocephalus.

Sources disclosed that Muhammad had been battling the disorder long before he was appointed as the CJN.

“He has been travelling abroad, particularly, to Dubai for treatment for the illness. The government is aware of his condition before he was appointed as the CJN after former CJN Walter Onnoghen was booted out,” a source explained.

A Supreme Court official explained that the judicial circles were shocked and worried over Muhammad’s appointment in 2019.

He stated, “When he was appointed, the entire justice system was worried because he has been battling the sickness for long and workers were taking advantage of it because the man was forgetting things.

“Even now in the Supreme Court, there is a serious contest between the workers and the Justices because the workers had written to them for intervention but the Justices only used their complaints as grist for their own matter.

“There were some approvals for the workers which the CJN did not implement. When the workers wrote, they expected the Justices to intervene but they instead converted their protest letter into a source of information to fight for their interests. Though the man has gone, there is still tension in the Supreme Court.”

The PUNCH was further informed that the children of the former Chief Justice once brought a list of applicants to be employed in the apex court.

The director of administration was said to have queried the move but the applicants were reportedly employed, nevertheless.

“The director queried it, but despite that, they still gave them (applicants) employment without following the proper procedure,” the source stated.

The NJC spokesman, Mr Soji Oye, could not be reached for comment on the severance package for retired CJN and issues raised about Muhammad’s tenure as calls to his phone rang out. He had yet to reply to an SMS sent to him as of the time of filing this report.

The Convener, Adopt A Goal Initiative and Coalition in Defence of Nigeria’s Democracy, Dare Ariyo-Atoye, called on the National Assembly to halt the payment of the retirement benefits to the erstwhile CJN pending the outcome of the Senate investigations.

The NJC spokesman, Mr Soji Oye, could not be reached for comment on the severance package for retired CJN and issues raised about Muhammad’s tenure as calls to his phone rang out. He had yet to reply an SMS sent to him as of the time of filing this report.

NJC backs suit

Meanwhile, the National Judicial Council on Tuesday in Abuja threw its weight behind a suit seeking an upward review of salaries and allowances of judges in the country.

NJC through its counsel, Kunle Adegoke (SAN), prayed the National Industrial Court in Abuja, to grant all the reliefs sought by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief Sebastine Hon, who instituted the suit.

The organisation informed Justice Osatohanmwen Obaseki-Osaghae that the Nigerian government reviewed Judges’ salaries in 2008, a period of 14 years ago adding that the ugly trend had inflicted untold economic hardships on Judicial Officers in the Judiciary arm of government.

The NJC was listed as the 4th defendant in the suit, which was filed by the claimant, Chief Sebastine Hon SAN.

I just want to serve Nigerians & Go home

Nobody can be president without sitting down with the labour organisation to decide the future of Nigeria.

We can no longer have a situation where the leaders are here and workers are there. They must sit on the same table and talk. That is the beginning of the solution, that is what is happening all over the world.

He said that more than half  of the country’s youths of productive age are unemployed. ” This is what the Labour Party is seeking to sit down to discuss for the future of our country.

Okonjo-Iweala’s son, Uzodinma suggests Nigeria’s dissolution months to 2023 elections

Beasts of No Nation writer, Uzodinma Iweala, has stated that Nigeria needs another independence and should be dissolved.

Uzodinma made the declaration in his article,’Nigeria’s Second Independence: Why the Giant of Africa Needs to Start Over’, published in Foreign Affairs.

The American magazine of international relations and United States foreign policy is published by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

Uzodinma’s call comes as Africa’s most populous nation prepares for the general elections scheduled for February and March 2023.

The author insists that one of the solutions to the political troubles of the country is its dissolution.

As citizens face serious security and economic problems, he urged them to decide if they want Nigeria’s existence as a state to continue or to expire.

“Nigeria’s political system defies neat packaging”, stressed the son of ex-Finance Minister and WTO DG Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

“Scholars have labeled it everything from the facetious “chaosocracy” to the more benign “entrepreneurial democracy” to the pejorative “kleptocracy.”

Uzodinma said such tags wrongly suggest that Nigeria’s problems stem from individual moral failings within the political class.

Citing experts’ recommendation of good leadership and good governance, the Harvard graduate believes no individual, however well intentioned, can fix the challenges.

“Nothing should be off-limits for discussion – even the dissolution of the country”, he suggested.

“Before doing anything else, Nigerians need to decide: Do they want the patchwork entity named Nigeria to remain Nigeria?

“It is a reasonable question, given that the country is the arbitrary product of colonial boundaries.”

Uzodinma said in their quest to form a working system, citizens should not “limit their thinking to outdated and flawed U.S. and European models of democracy”.

The novelist won the Hoopes Prize and Dorothy Hicks Lee Prize for Outstanding Undergraduate Thesis while in Harvard, among other honours.

Okonjo-iweala’s Son, Uzodinma Suggests Nigeria’s Dissolution Months To 2023 Elec

Former Jigawa state governor and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Sule Lamido has named River state governor, Nyesom Wike “the natural heir” to the Presidential seat after Atiku Abubakar, the party’s candidate in the 2023 election.

This is even as Lamido described the governor as an asset to the PDP and a leader who has etched his name in glory given his performance as chief executive of the oil-rich state.

Lamido who stated this in an exclusive chat with our correspondent in his Abuja residence however blamed unnamed persons close to the governor for fuelling issues Wike has been responding to recently, stressing that the party must rescue the Rivers state governor and preserve him for the future.

He said: “Wike is a huge treasure for the PDP and one of the best materials. If we win (in 2023), he is the natural heir to the throne because he has the quality, the aura, the charm, the charisma and the age. I have been saying this: PDP is a family. There was a primary election and there were expectations but some of them were not met. So, it is natural for one to react. I can understand that. Governor Wike is somebody who is very forceful, who has done so well as a governor of PDP in his own state and who has been very supportive of the PDP. But again, he was made by the PDP. He is somebody we must make sure we preserve and we must rescue him from his own anger.”

According to the former Foreign Affairs Minister, whatever support Wike gives to PDP today is the party’s right, adding that “it is the party that made him” and not the other way round.

He continued: “Whatever support he is giving to PDP is PDP’sright because a son does not say ‘I am doing this for my father.’ The party that made him is like a father.”

Recall that a former governor of Niger state, Babangida Aliyu recently said that Wike lost the Vice Presidential nomination to Delta state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa because of the former’s penchant for talking too much. But for Lamido, Wike is right to be angry, insisting however that he must give peace a chance in the overall interest of the party.

“He is right to be angry for having not achieved his own personal interest or ambition but again that is what leadership entails. He is a party man and the party is not his enemy. The party is his home, is own group, his own support and therefore whatever might have been the failure of him to achieve his interest, should not be taken too seriously at a personal level.

“Wike is now like as a boiling pot. There is so much anger in him because people around him will not allow him to see clearly. People around him who he thinks are his own friends are his biggest enemies. It is a fact and he will see it later on and that is why they are putting more logs under the fire. By now they should be withdrawing all the logs under the fire, to allow the pot to cool down.

Lamido further counselled Governor Wike to be wary of those around him, noting that none of them has the capacity to make him realize his ambition.

“There is no one single person in Nigeria today who can say I can run on the platform of PDP and win election on his own, not even Atiku. It is the people of the PDP who will deliver such a person. Ask those around Wike, can they deliver their states to him? There are governors now using Wike but he is one of our best materials for the future.

“To me, we need to make sure that we assist him to calm down and stop him from spilling over with anger because the pot is literally messing up its body by this unnecessary heat.

At the right time, he will see the wisdom in what I am saying because we are all former governors. We know what we were in office and we know what we are out of office,” he added.

"I Have Never Raised My Hands On My Wife"

On June 9, following a closed-door meeting, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) issued a public statement that the Igbo-dominated southeast should be allowed to secede from the Federal Republic of Nigeria if it was necessary to avoid a civil war. NEF spokesman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed said “the Forum has arrived at the difficult conclusion that if support for secession among the Igbo is as widespread as it is being made to look, and Igbo leadership appears to be in support of it, then the country should be advised not to stand in the way.” His statement continued that secession was not in the best interest of the Igbos or of Nigerians. Rather, all should work to rebuild Nigeria. But, blocking secession “will not help a country already burdened with failures on its knees to fight another war to keep the Igbo in Nigeria.” The statement also suggested that northerners subject to harassment in the southeast should return to the north. There was no reference to secessionist sentiment in Yorubaland, in southwest Nigeria, to which former President Olusegun Obasanjo has referred. The former president said that Yoruba secession, too, would be unwise, but that maintaining unity should not come “at any cost.”

Though there is no specific reference to it, clearly animating the NEF statement is the memory of Nigeria’s 1967-70 civil war, successfully fought by Nigerian nationalists to keep Igbo-dominated Biafra in the federation; it left up to two million dead. It, too, involved massive population movements, with Igbos fleeing to the south a northern pogrom and fewer northerners leaving the southeast. In the civil war, northern elites strongly supported the nationalists. Current Igbo disgruntlement has its roots in defeat in the civil war and the belief that they are marginalized from the upper reaches of the Nigerian state. (There has never been an Igbo president of Nigeria.) Such feelings of marginalization are exacerbated by Nigeria’s nationwide epidemic of violence and economic malaise. The NEF, for its part, has responded to rising insecurity in Nigeria by calling for President Buhari to resign or to be impeached. Resignation or impeachment is a reversal of the NEF’s support of Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential candidacy in 2015.

It should be noted that the NEF statement in support of allowing secession had two caveats: that there be widespread support for it among the Igbo but also among their “leadership” (not further defined). While secessionist advocates will argue to the contrary, prima facie evidence for both either way is thin.

Do the views of the NEF matter? How representative is it of northern elite opinion? Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media Femi Adesina responded to its June 9 statement by dismissing the NEF as “a mere irritant” that hardly exists beyond its convener, Ango Abdullahi—a distinguished, former vice chancellor (president) of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. According to Adesina, the former vice chancellor is a general with no troops. Indeed, the influence of the NEF is hard to judge. But, its public statements attract widespread media attention. As with former President Obasanjo’s comments on Yoruba separatism, at the very least the NEF statements is an indication that rising insecurity is leading at least some of Nigeria’s elites to rethink the basis of the Nigerian state—and of the consequences of its civil war.

NEF: Igbo Should Be Allowed To Secede With Biafra.

Whenever one single politician decamp from apc,someone like jaxxy or sarkinyarki will say apc is dead but will keep quiet if two bigwigs leave pdp.in 2018,over most of the new pdp faction of apc went back to pdp with over 10 senators and 30 reps yet apc still won with a larger margin.infact,the biggest defection was the defection of alhaji babayo the deputy chair of pdp north to apc yet pdp fans said he was irrelevant....
Recently,senators like aliero,abdullahi yahaya,kaita,alimikhena etc who lost their senate primaries defected to pdp.they celebrated it but said nothing when senators abbo,ezenwa onyewuchi,istifanus gyang,abaribe,Ibrahim danbaba,Emmanuel bwacha,nwaoboshi etc left pdp to either apc,nnpp,apga or labour.does it mean that defections doesnt affect pdp? Anyway,it is political naivety.the biggest defection is that of a governor and apc has benefited most.this election is basically between apc and labour.pdp is most likely out of the picture.one of wike or obaseki will surely leave pdp....

The Ebonyi state Commissioner for Youth Development and Sports, Hon Charles Akpuenika has praised Governor David Umahi for ensuring steady construction work on the 30,000 capacity international stadium in Abakaliki.

Akpuenika gave the commendation in an interview in Abakaliki noting that it was astonishing that work could go on steadily on the project in the face of the current economic realities.

The commissioner said that with other capital projects such as the international airport, construction of flyovers, roads, the completed and functional David Umahi University of Medical Sciences, shopping mall among others, one wonders where the governor gets the money.

"In some states, construction of such project could be what their government would be battling with for eight years.

"The most astounding issue is that despite these monumental projects, the governor still initiates new ones everyday".

He noted that visitors to the state have all laid testimonies to the governor's Infrastructural strides and such lay credence to the fact that he is a prudent manager of resources.

"President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo among other top dignitaries who have inspected and inaugurated Umahi's projects can not finish seeing all his projects even if they have one month to do so.

"I come from Anambra and declare that what Umahi has done under seven years has not happened any where else in the country.

"I laugh when past governors claim they left huge sums of money in their states' treasury.

"Such funds which in most cases are not accounted for, could had been used to institute projects which would benefit the people.

If only Obasanjo was still in power – Fani-Kayode says days of good leadership gone

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has lamented the inability of the present government to tackle the security challenges rocking the nation.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday night, the human rights lawyer recalled the administration of the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo which fought criminal elements and ensured peace in the country.

According to him, the days of good leadership are gone, stressing that, except, Nigerians, through hard work, establish better government in the 2023 general elections.

He wrote, “One thing you cannot take from OBJ is that he fought for Nigerians. If it was OBJ that was President when Nigerians were being killed like flies in South Africa there would have been consequences. If it was OBJ that was in power when Morrocons and Libyans were humiliating.

“Torturing and killing our people there would have been a price to pay. During the OBJ/Atiku Govt. Nigerians all over the world held their heads up in pride and knew that they had a President and Government that would not allow them to be pushed around or be intimidated.

“Sadly those days are gone and unless we work very hard and get the right leadership they may have gone forever”.

Historians and researchers have come up with facts that women are more beautiful than men

God created man first. Sometime later, having acquired experience from all the mud huffing and puffing involved in the manufacturing of man, he perfected skills(the huffing and puffing became a melodious whistle).
God also procured quality material for the creation of women

That is when he created a woman, the beauty to behold

That's why the human females are more attractive and more resistant to wear and tear and live longer

The difference is the quality of material utilized in each of them.

Human females is magnificent, dazzling, glorious, stunning, beautiful, gorgeous and far more attractive than men and I love them

Rivers 2023: APC Aspirant Asks Court To Disqualify Tonye Cole

Reno omokri in a Facebook post has claimed to have documents to prove that the APC flagbearer for the 2023 presidential election, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a drug lord 

> The bigger issue with Tinubu is not his certificates, or lack of them. It is the fact that he is a KNOWN DRUG LORD who was involved in a heroin drug cartel in the US, and forfeited millions in drug funds to US authorities. As any lawyer will tell you, a forfeiture is an admission of guilt! 

We have the court documents. We have the names of those involved and their past and current addresses. I again challenge Bola Tinubu to sue me if these facts are not accurate. He is not a fit and proper person to occupy the office of the President of Nigeria.

BREAKING!! Peter Obi Is Winning, Atiku May Loose As Obasanjo Drop Another Bombshell

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo

Picking Atiku as VP, a mistake, Obasanjo says; mentions other ‘mistake’
"One of the mistakes I made was picking my number two when I wanted to become the president."

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described the choice of Atiku Abubakar as his vice as a mistake.

Mr Obasanjo spoke in Abeokuta on Saturday to students from selected secondary schools who participated in the final of the National Exhibition and Awards, organised by Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship (SAGE).

The former president and Mr Abubakar were in office between 1999 and 2007.

Mr Obasanjo said he had made several “genuine mistakes” in his life but God helped him overcome them.

“One of the mistakes I made was picking my number two when I wanted to become the president,” said the former president. “But because it was a genuine mistake, God saved me.”

Mr Obasanjo said another mistake he made was not leaving the country when he was told about the plans of the late military dictator, Sani Abacha, to arrest him.

“The second one was when Abacha wanted to arrest me. Abacha wanted to arrest me and I was told by the American ambassador that, they will arrest me and that America has asked that I should be given an asylum but, I said no. It could have been a mistake because I could have lost my life.

“I will say there are many things that could have been a mistake but God saved me from them all.”

“Another thing inhibiting youth from running is the amount of money involved in going into politics. I hope that things should not continue like this,” he said.

“I was 39 years old when I became the military head of state. 20 later, I came back as civilian president, but those there now do not want to allow the youths. If things continue like this, I do not know how you can come in.”
