Bode George Reveals What He Will Do If Tinubu Ever Becomes President Of Nigeria by Folake(f) : 1:02 am On Feb 17 |
Bode George A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olabode George, speaks with MUDIAGA AFFE on the state of insecurity in the nation, his plans to contest the 2023 presidential election, and the problems in his party, among others What is responsible for that? So, what is responsible for the rising debates about the 2023 election? You had also recently expressed desire to challenge the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in the next election. Why did you make a direct challenge? But Tinubu is one of the pillars of the APC and people believe he can lead the country… Your party is trying to realign ahead of the 2023 election. What are the best ways to achieve this? Specifically, as one of the leaders of the party in the South-West, what are you doing to bring the PDP together? What is the problem of the PDP in Lagos that has made it difficult for the party to win elections in the state since 1999? You had wished to contest the presidential election with Tinubu, are you not worried that the APC in which Tinubu belongs had been winning in your local government area all these while? So, are you saying with credible conduct of elections, you can win the APC in your Lagos Island LGA? There is a general clamour that if the Presidency rotates to the South, it should be the turn of the South-East? But some members of the PDP believe that the 2019 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, could still clinch the ticket in the 2023 election. If this happens, what would you do? What is the caveat? There was a change of leadership in the structure of the Lagos State PDP. Are you in support of the new state executive members? The state of insecurity in Nigeria had topped the front burner in recent months, as a former military officer, do you think our security agencies are doing well in the fight against kidnapping, banditry, and insurgency? As a result of this insecurity, the six governors in the South-West came together to set up a regional outfit code named Operation Amotekun, was it a right step? With regards to insecurity, there was a recent call for the service chiefs to be removed, would you subscribe to that? In the recently conducted governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states, there were complaints of heavy involvements of security operatives and people are getting worried that such development should be curtailed ahead of the 2023 general elections, what do you make of that? What is your position on the ban of okada and tricycles in some parts of Lagos State? *** Source: Sunday Punch

Demolition: Ugwuanyi Should Not Be Crucified by Folake(f) : 2:47 am On Feb 17 |
By Mazi Omife I. Omife I was with some of my friends the other day at Obiagu where the issue of demolition of illegal structures by the Enugu Capital Territory Development came up. Some spoke against the government action, which they said was inhuman and insensitive to the current economic hardship facing the masses by destroying the means of livelihood of so many people. Others supported the government action on the grounds that that was the only way to bring discipline and order in Enugu metropolis. My take on the matter was that in as much as the demolition exercise was bound to affect the means of livelihood of many people, in the long run, it was in the best interest of the greater majority of the citizens if we recognize that illegal structures pose many kinds of problems, both social and environmental, some of which can be dangerous to lives and property. Take for instance, in the recent past, Enugu metropolis was not known for heavy flooding which has now become the order of the day, even with the slightest rainfall, posing a serious threat to buildings and public utilities. And one of the major causes of this new phenomenon is the erection of illegal structures both within private and public spaces, against the original plan of the urban city, which causes blockage of water channels and drainages. With the increase in population in Enugu and the increase in illegal structures, many of these water channels and drainages are being blocked, leading to heavy flooding. Every time there is rain, places like Liberty Estate and Ebeano Tunnel link road become dangerous spots for both vehicular and human traffic as well as residents in the area and a serious threat to the roads. Apart from flooding, illegal structures also cause a serious obstruction on urban roads leading to heavy hold up, especially during peak hours at places like Abakpa Nike, Agbani road, Obiagu road, Artisan market area, Coal camp and other places. In case of a fire outbreak, illegal structure often leads to avoidable loss of lives and property by preventing fire service vehicles from timely access to the scene. The recent Onitsha fire disaster is a perfect example. Illegal structures also encourage crime in many areas such as Obiagu and Asata slum areas where make-shift shanties prevent police vehicles from reaching crimes for necessary intervention. Many illegal structures are also used for criminal or unlawful purposes including sale of illicit drugs and even wayside prostitution among other nuisance such as noise pollution. I recall two years ago when I had a head-on the battle against one of such illegal structures operating a music shop beside Obiagu Council primary school, causing a serious distraction to pupils with double heavy loudspeakers. The teachers had become helpless, as they had pleaded with the operator to no avail. When I personally approached the shop owner, he also became defiant, claiming that he had a right to do his business without let or hinder. After my fruitless effort to engage him reasonably failed, I took the matter to the noise pollution department of the Ministry of Environment, which charged him to the environmental court after he failed to stop the noise nuisance and the court ordered him to relocate in addition to a fine. It is important to recognize that illegal structures constitute a contravention of the law and for any government to look the other way when people disobey laws is to encourage a state of anarchy, especially when such disobedience becomes a serious threat to the safety of lives and property. It should be noted that the erection of illegal structures that block water channels are done by obstinate members of the public who flout rules and regulations of urban planning and defy the warnings and contravention notices from ECTD and the State urban planning agencies. These illegal structures pose environmental and ecological hazards to society, which no responsible government should ignore or condone. Which is why the recent demolition exercise was not the first time in the history of Enugu State as it had happened in all previous administrations since 1979 until date, the simple reason being that no administration worth its name will sit by and watch the lives and property of its citizens put on the line by unscrupulous citizens. However, some blame should go to some unscrupulous government functionaries from the Ministry of Lands who collude with devious members of the public to make land allocations and approvals for property erection on areas that such structures are prohibited by law. Such unethical actions and distortion of the approved urban master plan are a threat to lives and property. It is in this regard that the Government should investigate the claims of some victims of the demolition that they had approval for their structures from appropriate government agencies and deal with any government functionary found liable. In the same vein, government should as well look into the citing of hazardous infrastructures such as fuel stations and communication masts, which currently litter Enugu metropolis to ensure they are not located in vulnerable residential areas as these also pose serious threats to lives and property in case of fire or collapse among other alleged health issues. The bottom line is that the ECTD demolition exercise is for the good of the government and people of Enugu State for which the present administration should not be crucified. Although many people suffered the effect of the exercise, the general benefit of the demolition outweighs the collateral damage and should be seen as such.

The Police Special Strike Force on Social Miscreants has arrested a suspected Aiye Confraternity leader, Sikiru Samuel, 24, a.k.a Samora, and eight members of the gang in Ikorodu. Lagos police spokesman, Bala Elkana, said in a statement on Sunday that one double barrel gun was recovered from the suspects. Mr Elkana also said the police commissioner, Hakeem Odumosu, had deployed more officers “to sustain the ongoing onslaught on cultists and other social miscreants in Ikorodu, Imota, Agbowa, Owutu, Ijede, Ipakodo and Owode Onirin.†Other suspected members of the gang arrested are Adegboyega Ismaila, 19; Sunkanmi Shonubi a.k.a Napel, 19; Adigun Faruq, 18; Rilwan Akinwale, 30; Victor Uju a.k.a Zino, 18; Juwon Idowu a.k.a Lighter, 18; Rasak Adebola a.k.a Bobo, 20; and Kehinde Keshinro, 18. Elkana alleged that the gang was responsible for series of violent attacks and gang violence in Imota and environs. “One of such violent attacks happened on 12/02/2020 at about 0830hours which led to the death of one David Nwanga ‘m’ 30 years old of Araro Adamo area,†he said. The suspects were handed over to the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Yaba for discreet investigation. The spokesman said the suspects would be charged to court. Also, Elkana said that on Friday night a team of police officers from Oke Odo Police Station on patrol along Lagos/Abeokuta Expressway intercepted some hoodlums at Katangowa refuse dump smoking dry weeds suspected to be Indian hemp. On sighting the police, Elkana said the suspects took to their heels. Following a hot chase, five suspects were arrested with one double barrel short gun and three live cartridges. He said the suspects would be prosecuted. In addition, the spokesman said that on February 8, police officers from Oke Odo Police Station acting on credible intelligence arrested a notorious car snatching suspect, Yusuf Akinradewo. The 33-year-old allegedly took a Mitsubishi Montero Jeep with registration number GGE 620 AQ to a man named Wasiu Ogunsola of Omolojuwo Street, Dalemo, Sango-ota, Ogun for purchase. Elkana said that when the buyer demanded for the original papers of the vehicle, the suspect abandoned the vehicle and ran away. He said police detectives eventually arrested the suspect and recovered another vehicle from him, a Toyota Camry saloon car with registration number AGL 480 EC, belonging to a man named Nurudeen Rasaki of Isiaka Adekoya Street, Igbogbo, Ikorodu. The police spokesman said the owners of the vehicles have been contacted. He added that the suspect would be charged to court, while the two recovered vehicles would be handed over to the owners on bond.

Bandits Killed Katsina Farmers Out Of Revenge – President Buhari by Folake(f) : 7:18 am On Feb 17 |
President Buhari has condemned the latest round of attacks on farmers by bandits in Damkal and Tsanwa villages in Batsari local government area of Katsina state, saying that killing people in the name of revenge is not acceptable. 33 people were reportedly killed in the attack carried out by suspected bandits in two villages in Batsari local government area of Katsina state on Friday February 14th. The bandits who struck at the time of prayer around 6:30pm in Tsauwa and Dankar villages, burnt several houses, animals and properties in the attack. Reacting to the incident, the President in a statement released by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Garba Shehu, warned that “no one in the country has a right to take laws into his hands by the way of self-help or revenge. Local communities that catch bandits should hand over the suspects to law enforcement authorities instead of meting out capital punishment, leading to a cycle of revenge and counter revenge.†He urged community leaders and the local authorities to continue their efforts in partnership with law enforcement agencies that bring the surrender of bandits, leading to peace between farmers and herders. “The authorities must be allowed to investigate and deal with any breach that occurs. There is no place for violence in a decent society,†said the President. President Buhari prayed that God will comfort families that have lost loved ones in the attacks and repose the souls of the victims.

14-Year-Old Boy Arrested For Stabbing Student To Death by Folake(f) : 5:18 pm On Feb 17 |
A 14-year-old boy has been arrested and charged in the stabbing death of a New York university student, authorities said Saturday, in a case that is being closely watched due to its racial dynamics. Tessa Majors, 18, a freshman at Barnard College, was attacked by three teens as she walked through Morningside Park on December 11. The park separates the prestigious Barnard College and Columbia University from Harlem, the predominantly black neighbourhood in Manhattan’s northwest. Majors, who was white, was found just outside the park bleeding heavily, the criminal complaint said. She had been stabbed multiple times in the chest and died at a hospital. Rashaun Weaver, 14, who is black, was accused of stabbing Majors. He had been wanted for several weeks and was arrested without incident Friday night. Related Posts Weaver will be tried as an adult on second-degree murder and robbery charges, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said.
Vance said investigators have video and DNA evidence and suggested the suspect had incriminated himself on an audio recording. A 13-year-old alleged accomplice was also charged but will be tried in juvenile court. The events evoke memories of the 1989 “Central Park Five†case when five black and Hispanic teens were wrongly convicted and sentenced to prison for the rape and assault of a white female jogger in the famous park. Vance suggested the sensitivities of the latest case contributed, in part, to the delay in charging Weaver.

Fr. Mbaka Finally Breaks Silence On Controversial Bayelsa Governorship Prophecy by Folake(f) : 1:47 am On Feb 18 |
Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has denied prophesying that the new governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, would only govern for two months. Mbaka denied the allegation in a statement on Sunday by spokesman of the ministry, Ike Ugwuoke. Mr Diri was sworn in on Friday 24 hours after the Supreme Court nullified the election of David Lyon, and his running mate, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, over the latter’s forged certificate. Mbaka was in a report alleged to have made the prediction in “Delta State at the ceremony to mark his friend and colleague who clocked 68 years.†“For the sake of justice and fairness, we challenge the originators of this false and mendacious report to mention the name of the so-called Fr Mbaka’s friend and colleague whose ceremony he attended in Delta State. The truth is that Fr Mbaka has not even been in Delta since this year,†the statement said. “Fr Mbaka has never at any time, place or circumstance made any prophecy about Bayelsa or who becomes the Governor of the state or his duration in office. The report is obviously the handwork of mischief makers and wicked idiots who are on demonic and satanic assignment to damage Fr Mbaka’s reputation and brand him a false prophet. “Fr Mbaka has been preoccupied with the charitable and miraculous works God has been using him to do in the ministry. He has been immersed in thanksgiving to God for the fulfilment of his prophecy on Hope Uzodimma becoming the Governor of Imo State and so he never attended any such ceremony in Delta State or anywhere else where he could have made such prediction as alleged by these satanic agents. During Fr Mbaka’s Sunday mass, he refuted this report himself publicly at the altar.†The statement also read that “those who impersonate Fr Mbaka on the media should be careful else they are attracting the wrath of God upon themselves.â€

Ex-SGF Babachir Lawal Slams Oshiomhole, Accuses Him Of Disorganising APC by Folake(f) : 3:17 am On Feb 18 |
Babachir Lawal Babachir Lawal, Nigeria's former Secretary to the Government to the Federation, SGF, has criticized the leadership of the All Progressives Congress under Adams Oshiomhole saying the party has become a 'funny organization. Lawal made the remark while lamenting that APC members are not being carried along by Oshiomhole. Addressing journalists in Abuja over the weekend, the former SGF said the Northwest and the Northeast have lost their privileges in APC after Lawal Shaibu and Inuwa Abdulkadir who are the national Vice-Chairmen of the party were suspended. According to Lawal: “This APC is funny, as we speak, the chairman and his loyalists have suspended the deputy national chairman (north), the whole north, the chairman, national vice-chairman (north-west) which is the largest geographical zone with seven states has been suspended, he is no longer attending national working committee meetings. “The national secretary of the party who is from the north, from Yobe, has left to become governor of Yobe state as we speak, there is no firm decision to his replacement. “For more than one year or so. A very substantial part of the country is not represented in the decision making.†The SGF stated that the APC National Chairman no longer carry members of the party along when it comes to decision making. “I’m quite close to members of the NWC, they always complain about not being carried along so the chairman of a party is not an executive president where whatever you say is, you need to carry everyone along. “That is the essence, a national vice-chairman north-east for example, he is for north-east and there are things unique to the area which he is aware of, which his own exco has brought to him for processing at the national secretariat. If he does not get the proper hearing and opportunity to present those things they are disenfranchised,†Lawal said.

“No one can change your name or turn your face away from me†Churchill writes lengthy birthday message to his son as he accuses Tonto Dikeh of keeping them apart by Folake(f) : 12:17 pm On Feb 18 |
Olakunle Oladunni Churchill took to Instagram on his son’s 4th birthday to write an open letter where he made a lot of revelations and accusations. Sharing photos of King Andre, 4, Churchill wished him a happy birthday and said he wrote the note to “shed more light on the darkness created by bitterness.†Churchill added, “The same blood runs in us, nothing can change that. No one can change your name or turn your face away from me. You are my blood and for ever you will be mine.†This part of his statement is in reference to Tonto Dikeh giving her son her last name. Churchill went on to claim that two days to King Andre’s second birthday, he won the judgement in court to have access to his son whenever he wanted, but in the presence of a nanny. He claimed that since then, Tonto has kept him from seeing his son by claiming Andre doesn’t have a nanny. He vowed to take up the case in court to see that the court reviews the judgement again. He wrote: It is with the deepest and sincerest love, not just as a man, but as a father that I celebrate the one after my heart. Today marks the blessed day that my son King Andre breathe his first air in this world. On this special day, there are some things I’d like to share….. even though my heart feel so heavy to say this but it’s basically to shed more light to the darkness created by bitterness… son its is very imperative to speak to you at this point. He added: I remembered winning the judgement in court to have access to you two days before your 2nd birthday in 2018. The court insisted that your mother should grant me access to see you whenever I want through a Nanny, you can even visit me on holidays and other special events, also I was given your international passport and all your credentials after showing payment proves. The condition was fine by me as a caring father, even though I have always wanted to have you by my side all day and all night, play together, tell tales and assist in your home works, instill the needed discipline but the situations at hand couldn’t, because we need to respect the judgement to avoid contempt of the court. Unfortunately my dear son, the agreement was breached by for flimsy excuses, I couldn’t forget in a hurry the the fun we had together the last time we met; but today I must reiterate that all the excuses for the denial is basically unacceptable to me because I can’t imaging the saying that you have no Nanny till this present moment simply because the court said we should always meet through the nanny. I’m taking my time to see that the court’s judgement is handled without troubles, I hope the court will have to review those conditions again . This is my prayer for you: I love you with every fiber of my being.

Who is the President of Nigeria? Reno Omokri raises question by Folake(f) : 7:18 pm On Feb 18 |
Reno Omokri, the former spokesperson to Ex-president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has raised question on who is the President of Nigeria. He wrote via his Twitter handle, “Who is truly the President of Nigeria between Abba Kyari and General Muhammadu Buhari? One rigged himself into power, while the other is using the rigged power. Anyone who knows the answer should say, because Nigerians and Aisha Buhari don’t know the answer.†“After the revelations in the NSA’s memo, General Muhammadu Buhari must demonstrate that he is in charge by sacking either the NSA, Major General Monguno (rtd) or the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari. If none of them is sacked, then we know that Buhari is NOT in charge!†he added.

‘My beauty is a curse, it drives men away’ – Lady cries out by Folake(f) : 7:47 pm On Feb 18 |
A beautiful lady is in a state of dilemma as she cannot understand why she drives away men instead of attracting them. Hauwa said she lacks the ability to get or keep a man as they are all intimidated by her looks. In a post making rounds on social media, the gorgeous lady described her beauty as a curse that has turned her into a lonely woman. She admitted guys often tell her they are in love with her and would love to spend the rest of their lives by her side but as soon as reality checks in, they dash and never reach out again. Their fear is dating Hauwa and living to see a better man take her off their grip. This makes them feel unsafe and unworthy and they often try to guard their egos. “They say with my beauty, another man can take me, and this can cause them trouble since they are not safe with me,†Hauwa reportedly complained. Growing up, Hauwa always got a lot of attention from people around her who always claimed they were appreciating God’s creation. That disappeared as soon as she checked in to adulthood. “Growing up, people always gave me special attention because of my beauty, I always enjoyed that thinking they were just admiring Allah’s work on me, but when I became a woman I began to think my beauty was more of a curse than a blessing on me,†Hauwa said. The beauty had to watch as her agemates got married to men who were head over heels for her. For her, this reality never came to pass and she could just admire the idea of marriage from afar. “I literally saw all my mates get married to a lot of guys tripping over their doorsteps, but the reverse was the case for me. Men always distanced themselves from me citing that I am overly pretty and they know another guy would definitely take me from him because I would always be the topic of cynosure and so many eyes would be on me hence making me an easy take away. I am Hauwa, a Fulani girl from the Adamawa plains and these are my pains,†she sadly wrote.
