‘Bring back our daughters’, chant protesters in Abuja

Nigerian protesters marched on the National Assembly Wednesday to demand the government and military do more to rescue scores of schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram gunmen at Government Girls Secondary School, in Chibok,Borno State, more than two weeks ago.

Dubbed “a million woman march” and promoted on Twitter under #BringBackOurGirls, the protest was not expected to draw a massive crowd and turn-out was hindered by heavy rain in the capital Abuja.

But several hundred women and men, mostly dressed in red, marched through the rain towards the National Assembly carrying placards that read “Find Our Daughters.”

Protest organiser Hadiza Bala Usman had earlier said that the size of the protest was less important than raising awareness about the plight of the hostages whose April 14 abduction at gunpoint from their school in the northeast has outraged Africa’s most populous nation.

SHOCKING: The Names Of Boko Haram Sponsors Exposed

We are living in interesting times in Nigeria and nothing should be taken for granted any more:
Few days after a popular spiritualist, Alhaji Goni who his based in Adamawa State, threatened to make public the names of Boko Haram sponsors in the North, another spiritualist said he has already exposed them.

“I had told President Goodluck Jonathan those behind these nest of killers (Boko Haram) through several publications. I have asked the President to arrest them before now because they said that since power did not return to the North after the 2011 general elections, they would make the nation ungovernable.

“The spirit of the creator is against them. They are going to be dealt with. I will call them to order in the interest of innocent Nigerians, enough of the bloodletting.
“If President Jonathan had listened to the advice I gave him two years ago when I was at Aso Rock, all the killings by Boko Haram would have stopped. After my visit to the villa, the bombings stopped but because those in government did not continue to tap from my spiritual grace, the bombers returned…

“Nigeria belongs to all of us. As Living Perfect Master, I cannot be here and all these continue. I am challenging the Northern leaders to an open debate in a national television. Let them swear by the name of the Creator and all the seven elements of the earth that their actions were not the direct reflection of Boko Haram onslaught.”

These are the words of the Guru Maharaj Ji, the Spiritual Leader of One Love Family with headquarters in the capital of Oyo State, Ibadan. He said he had already told President Goodluck Jonathan who the sponsors of the sect are. Guru concluded by saying that some former military rulers, a former Vice President, and some leaders in the North are the ones funding the deadly group.
So, what is Oga Jonathan waiting for before taking action? Or could it be that he doesn’t believe the man?

ANTP Has Been Dissolved -New Faction Claims

‘They Are All Thieves’- Asaolu

It is no longer news that the Association of Nigerian Theatre Practitioners has been facing crisis in the past few years. According to records, the crisis started towards the tail end of Jide Kosoko’s administration when effort to install his own person as the new president failed. After the general election, both Asaolu and Dele Odule claimed the election was not a free and fair one as both went to court for legal intervention. At the court, we gathered the judgement was in favour of Victor Asaolu as he was pronounced the authentic ANTP president. Prior to this, we learnt some factions of the association rejected the declaration of Victor Ashaolu as its national president and have suggested that the state governors should meet with Jimoh Aliu, Lere Paimo, Dele Odule and Ashaolu to find an amicable solution to the 18 months old crisis. Over 700 members, except Paimo, Aliu and Ashaolu who were conspicuously absent, attended the meeting which was called to find a solution to the crisis.

A 31-year-old woman, Idowu Akinwunmi, has narrated how the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Onikan Police Station, SP Adekunle Awe, allegedly rapéd her, extorted and threatened her life in the station.

The victim said the incident occurred on April 15, 2014. She explained that on April 14 she was arrested by the police for “spurious” reasons. In her words:

“I work at an eatery on Keffi Street, Obalende, as a cook. The eatery also has a tailor’s shop in the compound and it belongs to the same person. There is also a quarters where we all live in the compound.

“Most of the workers are from Cotonou, Benin Republic. On Monday, a popular customer, known as Friday, came to eat. He later left, but some moments later, he returned to say he could not get a bus home. Friday had been making advances at me, but we were not a couple. I allowed him to sleep over.”

According to what Akinwunmi told Punch, at 1am, her boss, who discovered that someone was sleeping over, called the police to arrest her and the customer, Friday. She said two other people, who slept over at the tailors’ quarters were also rounded up.

She said, “My madam called policemen to arrest all of us. I had only a pair of shorts, a shirt and a wrapper on. I had N11,000 in my pocket and my phone was not with me. On getting to the station, I got the phone of a policewoman and used it to call one of the tailors to come and help.

Customized i-phones Shared At The Presidential Wedding Stirs Up More Controversy!

The photos above hit the blogosphere yesterday to a lot of backlash 

but the Malivelihood boss - who broke the news and announced that 

he customized the i-phones - has now deleted all his statements.

After ranting about how he got the contract to design the customized items 

for the wedding and thanking GEJ for giving him the contract, 

the Malivelihood boss is now saying something else.

He is now denying that they were gifts and just actually 

about 10 in number #yimu.

Many peeps have reacted by mocking the dude 

- he had probably bn contacted by SSS for exposing 

the heavy spending of GEJ so he's bn forced to retract

 his statement, they say!

Snapshot of what he wrote yesterday....now see snapshot of his tweet today!

   

"I give many people free gift for wedding , ceremony, birthday all that time , 

Don't understand why this is a problem. 

Don't understand why giving out Free gift is a problem 

#Nigeria new" he tweeted.

So what do we believe now?

We Have Too Many Quacks Masquerading As Teachers— Oshiomhole

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State says the question  of his party, All Progressive Congress (APC), zoning the presidency in the 2015 general elections does not arise as the party has no provision for it. The governor also, in this interview, speaks on his running battle with teachers over qualification, his efforts to address infrastructural deficit in Edo and the National Conference, among other issues. Excerpts:

The burning issue right now in Edo State is your effort to reform the educators. You have rebuilt schools but the people who make good education possible – the teachers – you have been having running battles with them over the need to identify the qualified ones among them through competency tests. Even though the problem is there all over the country, can you describe the peculiar situation in Edo State?
We have abandoned the idea of competency test for what we now call assessment test. The basic difference is that we want to assess the teachers in our employment to find out what is the level  of their competence. That way we will be able to establish the level of assistance they require. For instance, a man who has a National Certificate of Education (NCE) but can’t teach will be put in the hands of experts to determine the kind of training he requires to make up for his deficiency.

Speaking at the wedding of President Goodluck Jonathan’s foster daughter Faith on Saturday, the renowned cleric said:

"If you marry the modern way like on Facebook, you may likely divorce the modern way. Marry traditionally and involve God."

Moreover, according to him, a husband bears full responsibility for the success or failure of the marriage, because a man is the head of the family.

Adeboye advised the groom not to criticize his wife but correct her in love and also advised both mother-in-laws to let the newly-made couple handle their family life issues by themselves.

Finally! Laide Bakare’s Husband Sues EFCC For Declaring Him Wanted Over MTN Fraud Case

Alhaji Mutairu Babatunde Oriowo, husband of Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare, has debunked the fraud and theft story against him occasioned through a declaration by the EFCC and published recently in a national daily. The businessman, who is the CEO of Primavera Construction & Engineering Ltd, added that, contrary to EFCC’s statement declaring him wanted, he is not on the run because he has not committed any offence to warrant running away from his fatherland.

The businessman said that he was miffed by the EFCC declaration because he could not understand what the interest of EFCC was, as no court of law has indicted him for any offence and no warrant of arrest has ever been issued on him.

Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare, has also said that she is standing by her husband on the matter, believing that the EFCC publication was meant to destroy his hard-earned reputation as a philanthropist who derives joy in helping people, adding that the story was also a calculated attempt to smear her own name as a celebrity.

According to Mr. Orilowo, the EFCC and MTN were only out to blackmail him because the court case he instituted against EFCC, seeking an injunction to restrain the agency from arresting him or declaring him wanted, will be determine on the 28th of March 2014. Yet he was declared wanted on no basis many weeks before the hearing date.

Explaining the issue further, Mr. Orilowo said that “there was this MTN Cooperative whose membership is of MTN workers. Their union came together with this idea of a project called ‘Y’ello Estate’ to be built at Okun Ajah. That is my home town and where I do most of my businesses. So, based on my popularity and as a philanthropist who commands respect in the area, my company, Primavera Engineering & Construction Limited, was approached by MTN to help buy five hectares of land, which we did. Later, they came to us again and said oh, there are more demands, get us five hectares more. We did. The subscribers now became much interested in the project because they were going to make it the best of such Estates in Lagos”.

“We had an agreement from the beginning because they trusted us to deliver. The agreement was for me to; one, buy the lands; two, to ensure that the lands acquired were validly documented, and three, to be the sole developer of the Estate”.

“But some powerful people at MTN then came in after the agreement with the aim to hijack it. They saw the project as a laudable one and they were shocked that I was the only man handling the project. They came with an excuse that many people were bidding for it and it should not be a one-man thing. But I have spent close to one billion naira on this project. The agreement was for me to collect from MTN 20 percent of the money for mobilization and then go ahead to complete it with my personal money. And I have spent a lot on it. You know how big a project like an Estate can be; talk of roads, bridges and other amenities”.

“So, since the MTN had decided to bring in another developer and my company has committed so much into executing the project, I asked that the money I have spent so far be refunded. But when they were not forthcoming, I took the MTN Cooperative to court seeking to retrieve my money. We got judgment from Hon. Justice Olateru-Olagbegi. We then had negotiations with MTN based on the court judgment. Under the terms of settlement, MTN was to pay us substantial sums of money”.

“But MTN still refused to pay us, so we commenced third-party involvement proceedings against MTN which resulted in the issuance of an order freezing the bank accounts of MTN. While we await action on our money, MTN went to EFCC to lodge criminal complaints against us, alleging theft of money without disclosing the court proceedings on the issue. This was after the EFCC, on its own, had gone to court to institute criminal proceedings against us based on MTN’s complaints, which is still pending before the court”.
