Teen rapper Megabyte, has revealed that Femi Otedola has paid his school fees for the current session, after the billionaire promised to sponsor his education up to the university level.

Otedola has paid my school fee for this session – Megabyte
In a chat with Sunday Scoop, Megabyte said:

“I’m in a better school and I have everything I need for a successful academic session. I thank God for bringing me close to Otedola. He has vowed to take responsibility for my education till I graduate from the university. This is a great relief for my mum as she doesn’t have to worry about school fees anymore.”
While saying he had not changed his friends since he came to the limelight, he admitted that he loved to be alone sometimes.
The young singer stated:

“I don’t usually keep many friends. I like to be alone many times because that’s when I get inspiration. But I still have the same few friends I used to have. Since I became popular, people have been showing me love and I appreciate them as well.
“I was brought up in a humble home. As a matter of fact, I still live with my mum and she teaches me how to remain responsible no matter how rich I become. I love my mum so much and I will do anything to always make her happy.”

For his new song, he said he had decided to challenge dancers in secondary and tertiary schools to a dance competition.
He said:

“They are doing 60-second videos of them dancing to my new song and they will be uploaded on my social media pages. The winner will appear in my music video and get a surprise prize.”

  Declare October 1st day of mourning – Group pressurizes FG
User Avatar Forum: General Discussion
Posted by: Gimbiya - 09-30-2018, 09:51 AM - No Replies

A pressure group, Builders of New Nigeria, has appealed to government to declare The Independence Day on October 1st  as a day of mourning across the country, amidst the incessant killings of citizens across the country, Guardian reports.
The group’s Convener and National Chairman, Mr. Yinka Quadiri, who made the appeal, while addressing newsmen at the Internally Displaced Persons’ (IDP) Camp at Geo-science Institute in Jos, appealed to government to do everything in its powers to stop the killings.
[Image: Declare-October-1-day-of-mourning-Group-...00x300.jpg]
He said:

“The sad situation, where government is suspected and accused of complicity, is undesirable and dangerous. The government must do everything needful to set the right impression.
“Any government or leadership that routinely arouses suspicion of its own people would soon lose its legitimacy.”

Quadiri enjoined every patriotic Nigerian, home and abroad, to urgently rise up to do whatever is peaceful, legal and amicable to resolve the present crisis and prevent the country from degenerating into a failed state.
He said:

“This chaos in the Middle Belt and in other minority ethnic groups in Nigeria must be brought to an end and this destructive trajectory reversed. The failure to intervene, stop and reverse this scary trend may result in individual, communal, national, continental and global consequences of dire dimensions.
“Our appeal goes to President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the father of the nation, to do everything within his powers to stop the killings. So far, he has fallen short of as the country’s Chief Security Officer. We are convinced he could do much more than he is currently doing. Nigeria is burning and it is consuming its own people. This has to stop.”

The group enjoined the President to listen to the people’s cry demanding withdrawal of the military from crisis areas, as a result of perceived lack of bureaucratic neutrality.
It implored government to allow creation of vigilance groups in states to check the menace.

  I’m The Only Candidate That Can Defeat APC –atiku

Former Vice - President Atiku Abubakar tells SUNDAY ABORISADE his strategies to win the 2019 presidential poll if he emerges the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party

What do you think qualifies you to be Nigeria ’s President?

Atiku Abubakar has experience in both the public and private sector . As Vice President, my support for democracy is without match . My headship of the economic management team propelled the era of privatisation which stimulated the economy to grow at 7seven per cent annually.
In the private sector , I have a track record of job creation and I had created more jobs than any other aspirant . I have the ability to see opportunities and turn them to wealth creating opportunities .
I have the ability to pool the best minds together to move the country forward and has proven that both in the public sector and my private businesses .
I am a detribalised leader who sees Nigeria as his constituency .
Atiku has a great understanding of governance ; he is a person with vision, passion , policies and political will to get things done.

How do you hope to defeat others in the primaries ?

Atiku Abubakar is the one candidate with experience across the regions , states and local governments of Nigeria ; he is not the candidate of one area or denomination. He has support across Nigeria – from youth, farmers and business people . The delegates of PDP, from across Nigeria will recognise Atiku as the one candidate who can defeat the APC and bring jobs and opportunities , unity , security and development to all of Nigerians.

Do you have faith in the PDP’s ability to conduct a free and fair primary?

Yes , I have faith ; PDP is one . We should all remember that it was a PDP government that , in 2015 , held the freest and fairest elections in Nigeria ’ s history . The PDP also understands that if it is to win in 2019 , the elections must be free and fair . So , this primary will be free and fair .

What should Nigeria expect in the election if you win the primary ?

In 2015 , Nigerians voted for change and in the last three years, they have grown increasingly distressed about the change they received – job losses, businesses closed , farmers impoverished , our people being divided more than ever before and rising insecurity . Atiku Abubakar will run a campaign across all of Nigeria that begins addressing these issues . His campaign will be like his government talking and working with the states and people of Nigeria to restructure and create jobs , wealth for farmers , and business opportunities for youths and lifting Nigerians out of poverty . The campaign will be the start of getting Nigeria working again .

  Love portion turns woman to sex addict, sleeps with 47 men
User Avatar Forum: General Discussion
Posted by: Gimbiya - 09-30-2018, 09:46 AM - No Replies

A 36-year-old Zimbabwean woman Cynthia Mvhuma, who took a love portion to get back her husband who left her, has now become a sex addict.
[Image: Love-portion-turns-woman-to-sex-addict-s...asnews.jpg]
The Zimbabwean woman was given the love portion, after she was dumped by her husband Douglas Nyoni (46) six years ago after being married for five years. The love portion took a different twist by turning her into a sex addict, instead of getting her husband back.
Speaking wit B-Metro, Cynthia Mvhuma disclosed that she now sleeps with every man that comes her way, because she can’t reverse the ‘curse’ as the native doctor who gave her the love portion, is dead.
“I always feel the urge for sex every time. A few years back when my husband left me I went to see a traditional healer who gave me juju to help win him back.
I poured it all over my body as instructed and waited for the miracle to happen. After two days I started feeling weird and my private parts were wet,” she said.
“He said everything would be fine, it was just part of the process. In the first week I slept with three different men from my area. I thought it was normal for me because I was going through a hard time,’’ she added.
“I can’t help myself for feeling this way. I just want to have sex all the time,’’ said Mvhuma.
[size=undefined]She further disclosed that she has slept with 47 men so far, and is even scared of testing for HIV.[/size]
‘‘I have slept with many men and I stopped counting when I had slept with 47 men. Now I just sleep with them and not feel any emotional connection like before.
“Sometimes I sleep with two men at the same time,’’ Mvhuma added. I am afraid to get tested because I don’t want more stress,” she said.

[size=undefined]It was further gathered that her ex-husband has since left the country.[/size]

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

SUNDAY, 30TH SEPTEMBER.


YOU’RE ON A MISSION.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (Mark 16:15-16).


The Lord has given us a vision, a very clear vision, and each of us is on a mission, and the clarity of that mission is so important. Everything you’re about must be in pursuance of your God-given purpose on earth. Read our opening scripture again, and see your purpose on earth: it’s the salvation of lost souls. You’re the one ordained and appointed by God to take the message of Christ’s salvation to your world and beyond.

2 Corinthians 5:19-20 says, “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ….” This is your mission on earth. Refuse to allow anything to distract you from it, for it’s your primary responsibility; it’s the purpose for your life; be focused on it.

The Lord needs you; He’s kept you on this earth because He has many others He wants to reach through you. Take the Gospel to your world. Keep sharing the good news with those around you, because like Paul, “Necessity is laid upon you to preach the Gospel” (1 Corinthians 9:16); therefore, do it with boldness and fervency.

The salvation and well-being of mankind is the most important thing to God, and it was for that reason He gave His Son to be crucified for the sins of men. 2 Peter 3:9 says, God “…is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” But God can’t save anyone without the Gospel; His power to save is wrapped up in the Gospel of His grace which He’s committed to you to preach and teach.

Let your life count for the Gospel. No matter where you’re functioning; no matter what you do, take that as your mission field; that’s the place God has given you for the now, for the moment, to minister His Word.

PRAYER

Dear Father, you created me as your workmanship, in Christ Jesus unto good works. I’m on a mission of establishing your Kingdom in the hearts of men, bringing them out of darkness into your marvellous light! Thank you for this awesome privilege of being a partner with you in soul winning, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN


30TH SEPTEMBER.

I affirm that my life is the expression of the glorious realities of the Gospel of Christ. I’ve been chosen and ordained by the Father to be productive in every area of my life! My mind is anointed for growth and supernatural success! I am mightily blessed of the Lord with all things that pertain to life and godliness; therefore, I know what to do, I know when to do what to do; and I know how to do what to do, through the guidance and light that I receive from the Holy Spirit and the Word.

All things are possible to me; for my faith is working and producing great results! I’ve overcome the world, the devil and the forces of hell because I am a product of the incorruptible Word of God, which lives and abides forever. I am seated with Christ in the heavenly realms—a place of authority, victory, safety, and deliverance—far removed from all earthly distractions. Hallelujah! I am the seed of Abraham and the world belongs to me.

I refuse to worry or fret over anything because all things are mine already. By acting on the Word, my faith grows and prevails, and I move from glory to glory, and from victory to victory. Blessed be God. Hallelujah!

SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES NOW

• Be bold to say the same things that God has said concerning you in His Word. That is what takes you beyond salvation, to enjoy the benefits of salvation ~ Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.

God bless you.

  Labour Yields To Fg’s Pressure, May Call Off Strike Monday
User Avatar Forum: General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 09-30-2018, 08:38 AM - No Replies

Quote:mololu Omololu Ogunmade and Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja



The organised labour may call off Monday the strike action it embarked upon last Thursday, THISDAY learnt last night. A top government official who did not want to be named said this followed talks between Federal Government officials and labour leaders at the weekend. He disclosed that organised labour might announce the suspension of the strike on Monday ahead of the tripartite committee meeting scheduled to hold on October 4.

It was gathered that labour leaders, which insisted on guarantees that Thursday’s meeting will be used to strike a deal on the new minimum wage, were prevailed upon to soft-pedal to allow the committee to conclude action on the matter.

The decision to call off the strike might not be unconnected with the intervention of the Presidency on Thursday through the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, who tried to persuade labour leaders to end the strike.

At the meeting of the chief of staff with the leadership of the organised labour on Thursday at the State House, Abuja, the Presidency pleaded with labour to end the strike, which has affected economic activities in different parts of the country.

After the meeting, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Ayuba Wabba, told journalists that the meeting was fruitful. Wabba promised that the meeting’s outcome would be tabled before relevant organs of the organised labour to determine the next line of action.

According to him, the federal government, through the chief of staff, had made a promise to the group that their agitations would be addressed. However, Wabba failed to disclose the nature of the promise made by Kyari.

“The Chief of Staff tried to give us details of government position which we will have to go and convey to our members and then we can revert back to him,” Wabba had said.

But on Friday, Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in a statement, said the federal government was working assiduously to ensure the strike was called off.

“The Presidency wishes to assure that the federal government is taking every step necessary to get the unions to call off the strike,” Shehu said.

He said the organised labour had accepted the federal government’s demand to reconvene the tripartite committee meeting on the proposed new national minimum wage.

According to him, the meeting between the leadership of labour and representatives of various employers of labour, including the federal and state governments, has been rescheduled to reconvene on October 4.

He also explained the tripartite nature of the meeting, saying it is so called because it is made up of representatives of the public sector, that is, federal and state governments, as well as the private sector, which he said comprised the largest private employer group, the Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA).

Shehu listed other members of the body to include the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), and Nigerian Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMES).

Various labour unions, particularly in the public sector, had on Thursday mobilised their members to embark on a warning strike action following the breakdown in negotiations on a new national minimum wage between the unions and the federal government. The organised labour had demanded an upward review of the current N18, 000 monthly minimum wage to N65, 500 across board.

But THISDAY learnt that at the meeting of the Tripartite Committee on the new National Minimum Wage, chaired by former Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ama Pepple, the organised private sector had proposed N25, 000 as its next minimum wage while other unions in the public sector insisted that the least they could accept from the federal government would be N43, 000.

While the private sector and the labour unions have come up with proposals on the next minimum wage, the federal government has till date failed to come up with its own proposal, thus compelling labour to proceed on strike last Thursday.

Although Vice President Yemi Osinbajo recently met with the Economic Management Team (EMT) in the presidential villa to brainstorm on the new wage, details of the meeting have not been made public.

When contacted on the latest position of Labour, General Secretary of NLC, Peter Esom, said the organised labour was yet to suspend the strike action, adding that until they consult with the affiliate unions no such decision can be taken.

  ICYMI: Osun Election: INEC Not Independent, Says Adegboruwa
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-30-2018, 08:34 AM - No Replies

Activist lawyer , Mr Ebun -Olu Adegboruwa , has alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission was sympathetic to the ruling All Progressives Congress rather than being neutral in the Osun State governorship election .
According to him, the handling of the Osun State governorship poll by the electoral umpire underscored the claim that many loyalists and relatives of President Muhammadu Buhari are occupying very high positions in INEC .
Adegboruwa said this on Friday in a statement he titled , “Osun governorship election : Back to the trenches .”
INEC in the early hours of Friday declared the APC candidate , Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola , winner of the poll with 255 ,505 votes , ahead of the candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ademola Adeleke , who recorded 255 ,023 votes .
READ ALSO : INEC declares APC Oyetola winner of Osun gov election
Adeleke had in the main election held on September 22 come top with 254 ,698 votes while Oyetola trailed him with 254 ,345 votes, but INEC declared the election inconclusive and called for a supplementary poll on September 27 .
In the supplementary poll , Oyetola garnered additional 1 ,160 votes to eventually overtake Adeleke , who polled only 325 votes in the rerun election .
Adegboruwa , who said he monitored the rerun election from situation rooms of civil society organisations and on traditional and social media and also relied on reports from local and international observers, said the exercise had opened up the weaknesses of Nigeria ’ s electoral system , which needed to be fixed by the National Assembly.
He said , “First , the election has shown that INEC is not independent .
“The influence of the ruling party on INEC cannot be overemphasised , especially as it has constantly been trumpeted that there are many loyalists and relatives of the President , occupying very high positions in INEC .
“It is thus almost certain that in keenly contested elections , such as the Osun governorship, INEC will be reluctant to declare a candidate of the opposition party, as the winner . Thus , the general view in respect to the Osun governorship election is that it became inconclusive because the opposition candidate was leading.” https://punchng.com/osun-election-inec-not-independent-says-adegboruwa/

  "Wake Up And Take Your Country Back In 2019" - Father Mbaka Tells Nigerians
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-30-2018, 08:31 AM - No Replies

Quote:Vocal Catholic priest and Spiritual Director of Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka at the weekend called on Nigerians to wake up and reclaim the country from wicked and mindless politicians seeking to destroy it due to their greed and selfishness.
Mbaka, who made a scathing criticism of political leaders in the country across party lines said both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have betrayed and squandered the confidence and trust of the people.

While reviewing the state of the nation as Nigeria marks it’s 58 Independence anniversary tomorrow, Fr Mbaka, who spoke during his weekly prayer programme at Adoration ground, Emene, Enugu, said the only option left was for the people to rise up and confront the oppressors with a view to effecting real change.

“Those of you keeping quiet should check oh. If we allow these people the situation will remain like this till we all die. Our leaders are wicked and Satanic. I have looked around and noticed that all of them are selfish. They are not thinking for the wellbeing of the people they should be leading and taking care of. And wickedness will attract evil to them.

“Wicked to the level of allowing their subjects to be dying of hunger, dying out of poor medical assistance and when any of them is sick they will fly abroad, shame! When you are hungry you go and eat Mama-put and your children are dying in the house, why don’t you cook the food in the house?

“People of God stop being silent even if the priest is silent, because they can punish the Bishop, but they cannot they cannot punish you people. Your destinies are at stake, wake up and say no to this evil nepotism in the name of democracy.

“Our leaders have failed us, and all of them visit abroad when they are sick and come back. One day God will raise a government. One day God will raise a government that will punish all the past leaders that have not done well.

“Like this case of Buhari and co, all this money they said they have recovered, where is the money, from who and who did they recover the money from? When will the recovered money be made use of? Who actually is fooling who?

“By Monday now we will celebrate independence; how many years, 58? A man who is 58 years and still wearing pampers! Zero power stability. Go to this Kenya of yesterday, go to this Ghana of yesterday; and the worst is that most of what they use to develop their wealth come from this country. What wickedness.



“That is why all of them are fighting Buhari, because he said stop looting, but the corruption he came to fight started fighting him; and fought him down. Now you people cannot be silent again.

“APC, PDP and they are now deciding the destiny of everybody! Its better you don’t even travel out, if you travel out and come back your mentality will change, you will ask yourself are we still staying in the same world?

“We know all of them. The hour has come when you people should tell A, B, C, D don’t go even if you rig the election you will not be our so, so, and so. It’s not a matter of rigging it and continuing and we keep silent. You think God will come down and bath you by himself? God will come down and put your cloth upon you? God will come down and cook food for you? After defecating God will clean your stool for you? There are many things God will not do for us. We must stand up and resist these evil forces. This is criminality.”

The priest further alleged that during former President Jonathan’s time no federal road was built in the entire South East zone of the country.

Fr. Mbaka also kicked against the former Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani being given the PDP ticket to contest Enugu East senatorial district election in the coming poll, saying that it was under his administration that 14 worshippers died mysteriously in his adoration programme, even as he alleged that the former governor’s regime was characterized by violence.
The fiery priest charged Nigerians to wake up and challenge the powers that be, saying that even if they want to use the security agencies to intimidate them, there must be a limit to their impunity.
He said it was the silence of the people that was fueling the brazen impunity, corrupting and electoral malpractices.

  Missing Army General Alkali Car Found Inside A Pond In Plateau State. Photos

Fresh report has it that the Joint Task Force constituted by the chief of army staff, Lt Gen TY Buratai, has found the vehicle belonging to Maj Gen. Idria Nur Alkali (rtd), at a pond in Paddock in Lafendeg Du Plateau State. 

The joint task force comprising of officers and soldiers from 3 Division Quick Response Team, Operation Safe Haven, Nigeria Police Force, Vehicle Inspection Office, Fire Service, as well as local divers, found the vehicle today after weeks of searching for the missing general. 

The army general went missing after leaving his house in Abuja on Monday 3/09/2018 for Bauchi where he has a farm but is yet to be found. He was alleged to have been kidnapped in Plateau state.

According to a military report, several logistics issues including the alleged sabotage from the host communities have hampered the success of the operation.

Due to the terrain in the general areas of Paddock in Lafendeg Du Plateau State, the task force consulted a Chinese construction company working in that area who promised to assist in drilling out water from the pond where it was suspected that the vehicle belonging to the senior officer was pushed into.

In the midst of this challenge however, the Task Force continued with its search and rescue operation which led to the recovery of an 18-Seater Hummer Bus door.

  Adebayo Shittu Backtracks, Says 'it'll Be A Pleasant Thing To Go For NYSC'
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-30-2018, 12:18 AM - No Replies

Adebayo Shittu, Minister of Communication, has said it would be his pleasure to participate in the National Youth Service Scheme (NYSC).

The minister, who was recently screened out of participation in the governorship primary of the party, for not participating in the NYSC scheme, had earlier insisted that he didn't need the certificate since he had done "higher service" in the Oyo State House of Assembly.However, on the programme, State Affairs, which was a interview by Edmund Obilo, recorded on Tuesday, Shittu said he would be willing to participate in the scheme.

Asked if he would be ready to participate in the NYSC scheme, he said: "Of course, I would go. It would be a pleasant thing to go. After I'm a governor by the grace of God."

He also said he would be ready to serve wherever he was posted, stating that "I'll serve in any place, if it becomes necessary for me to go."

When asked if he would still participate in the NYSC scheme, even if he doesn't become governor, he said: "If it becomes necessary, I will. Courts would have to decide whether serving in the House of Assembly and being minister is not superior and does not replace service in the NYSC."

  Olu Okeowo's House: Man Shocked After Visiting His Friend’s Mansion In Lagos
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 09-30-2018, 12:04 AM - No Replies

A man was left stunned after visiting the mansion of his friend whose father is a billionaire in Lagos. The multi-billion naira mansion belongs to Nigerian philanthropist and estate mogul, Sir Olu Okeowo, located in Parkview, Ikoyi area of Lagos state.

This trending video was recorded by a friend of Okeowo's son based in the UK , who was visiting the house for the first time.

In this video, the son (guy without a shirt on) seemed to have avoided the camera but, his “hype-man” brought a twist of fun with his jokes while taking the visitor round the house.

The mansion named, Palacio De Okeowo, is a three-floor Victorian building overlooking the sea. It was gathered that the mansion which is reportedly valued at $12 million was completed in a period of eleven months.

Palacio De Okeowo stands on five acres of land reportedly worth $3 million. It also claims 5,000 square metres of the sea that was sand-filled to situate the mansion’s swimming pool and other leisure areas on the land. It also includes a helipad, a jetty, basketball and tennis courts and chapel.

Olu Okeowo is not only a noted real estate billionaire, he is also popularly known for his eye-whopping car collection. Do you know that the total value of Olu Okeowo cars are around ₦2 billion, if not more.

His latest Rolls-Royce was bought late last year to commemorate the completion of his new 16-bedroom palace. It is said that the garage that keeps Sir Olu Okeowo’s colony of Rolls-Royce is fully air-conditioned..

  Ambode Might Face Impeachment For His Insistence To Re-contest

APC primaries: Tension in Lagos over Ambode’s fate



Quote:By Abdullateef Aliyu


There is palpable tension in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state over Sunday’s governorship primary of the party as the chance of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in securing a second term ticket still hangs in the balance.

A stakeholders’ meeting of the party called by the National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is underway as stakeholders are currently gathered at the APC secretariat along ACME road where Tinubu’s arrival is still being awaited.

Most roads leading to the secretariat were blocked with many vehicles diverted to alternative roads within Ikeja axis.

The all-important meeting is expected to seal the fate of Ambode who is being rivaled by one of his aides, Babajide Sanwo-Olu who has continued to receive a groundswell of support and endorsement.

36 out of the 39 APC lawmakers in the House of Assembly endorsed the candidacy of Sanwo-Olu this Saturday even as there are speculations that the governor might face impeachment for his insistence to re-contest despite losing the goodwill of party stakeholders.

57 local council chairmen had earlier queued behind Sanwo-Olu. And to further brighten his chance, another APC governorship aspirant, Babafemi Hamza earlier on Saturday stepped down for him.

The Director General of Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu Campaign Organization (BOSCO), Mr. Tayo Ayinde in a statement welcomed the decision of Hamza to step down for Sanwo-Olu.

“As a group, we wish to profoundly acknowledge and commend Dr. Femi Hamzat for his show of sportsmanship to our common cause.”

“We once again use this opportunity to urge our teaming party members to come out in their numbers to vote Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the flagbearer of our party for the 2019 Gubernatorial Election”, he said in a statement.

According to an online report, a pregnant woman and her sister were allegedly gang raped by four persons including a soldier at Mami Barracks in Effurun, Delta state.

According to human rights activist Israel Joe, the alleged rape happened earlier this week (on Tuesday) as he also accused the army of avoiding to hand over the one of the suspects who is alleged to be a soldier - for prosecution by the police. 

Read the report he shared on Facebook; 

On the issue of gang rape at Mami barracks where three persons and one alleged soldier raped a pregnant lady and her sister on Tuesday this week, we are following keenly. The other lady that took ill critically and was rushed to the Navy Hospital Effurun yesterday and she is still on admission.

The soldiers at 3 battalion Effurun has stampeded us for about an hour this morning refusing to hand over the suspect that was caught yesterday to the police ably led by a woman DSP. Their integrity does not worth the lives of innocent Nigerian girls.

I'm not threatening the Army authority but my promise is on the premise of justice that we shall get the suspects and prosecute them whether they like it or not. If the army doesn't want a sour on the cordial relationship we enjoy, upon this issue our stand remains for justice.

If all avenues are explore and the army remains adamant, there will be a PRESS statement address straight to the Chief of Army staff. A stitch in time saves nine.

It is now game over for incumbent governor of Lagos State Akinwunmi Ambode as Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and APC national leader Ahmed Tinubu have endorsed Sanwo-Olu for the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress.


In the APC primaries held in the state on Saturday, it was confirmed that Ambode will not fly the flag of the party come 2019.


This means Ambode’ s second term ambition has now hit the rock.


Many Ambode supporters kicked against the decision of APC to dump the incumbent governor, causing hostility at the primaries.


He may however seek to get the ticket from another party.

Oyo APC Primaries: Akala withdraws, urges leaders to save party from imminent collapse

A former governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala on Saturday announced his withdrawal from governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) slated Sunday.


He alleged that the governor of the state, Senator Abiola has concluded his plans to imposed one of the aspirants on the party, urging the National secretariat to save the party from total collapse.


Akala who stated this in a statement signed by his media aide, Jeremiah Akande said his decision to withdraw from the race was due to the high-handedness and Imposition of candidate on delegates who will vote at the Primary Election of the party taking place tomorrow (Sunday) by Gov. Abiola Ajimobi.
 


In a statement tagged: “Save Oyo from imminent collapse”, The former governor noted that Governor Abiola Ajimobi has perfected plans to Impose one Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe on delegates as he has sent his foot soldiers around to coerce and Intimidate delegates to vote for the said Tegbe tomorrow at the party primaries against their free will.
 
The statement read “The Former Governor of Oyo state and Gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress in the State Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala has called on the National Leadership of the Party, President Mohammadu Buhari and other Leaders of the party to come to the aid of the Oyo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress which is on the brink of collapse due to the high-handedness and Imposition of candidate on delegates who will vote at the Primary Election of the party taking place on Sunday by Gov. Abiola Ajimobi.:
 
“Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala wishes to state categorically and put the leadership of the party and the General Public on Notice that Governor Abiola Ajimobi has perfected plans to Impose one Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe on delegates as he has sent his foot soldiers around to coerce and Intimidate delegates to vote for the said Tegbe tomorrow at the party primaries against their free will.
 
“His Excellency, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala, a true party man and committed loyalist to any cause he believes in wishes to state categorically that he is not a push over in the game of Politics and as a well grounded and groomed politician who has occupied the number one seat of a Politically conscious state as Oyo state will not be part of any move or attempt to subvert the true will and wish of the people by the selfish interest of an Individual.”
 
“The General Public should also note that Gov. Abiola Ajimobi has clandestinely offered Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala the Ministerial slot of Oyo state in an attempt to pitch him against Barr. Adebayo Shittu, an offer he has rejected in it’s entirety as he is not one to be tailored or shown the way round in the game of Politics.
“His Excellency, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala has therefore decided to “STAY AWAY” from tomorrow’s macabre dance taking place at a yet to be disclosed venue due to the Insensitivity and selfishness of Gov. Abiola Ajimobi who is hellbent on Imposing his stooge as his successor.
“In view of the above, His Excellency has also directed that all his teeming supporters, well wishers and party faithfuls who believe in him should stay away from the sham taking place tomorrow and await further directives.”

  President Buhari Slams Elite For Allowing Nigeria Get ‘mismanaged For 16 Years’
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-29-2018, 06:17 PM - No Replies

President Muhammadu Buhari has slammed Nigeria’s elite for what he thinks is their complicity in the mismanagement of the country. He said this while meeting with Nigerians in diaspora in the United States. Read the press release by the presidency next…

PRESIDENT BUHARI ASSURES NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA: IF I WIN THE NEXT ELECTION, I’LL LEAVE SOME DIFFERENCE IN THAT OFFICE

President Muhammadu Buhari told Nigerians living in America that if he won the 2019 election, and he spent another four years in office, “I will leave some difference in that office.”

Meeting with the Nigerian community in the United States of America Thursday on the margins of the 73rd United Nations General Assembly in New York, the President regretted that the elite allowed Nigeria to be mismanaged for 16 years of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rule, without as much as raising a voice in consternation.

“They didn’t say a word,” President Buhari declared. “Under the PTF (Petroleum Trust Fund, of which he was Chairman), we did roads from Lagos to Abuja, to Onitsha, to Port Harcourt. Since then, the roads were not done, between 1999 and 2015, yet the elite did not say a word.

“I was called Baba Go Slow. Those who were going fast, where did they get to?

“In 1983, military officers gathered, and made me Head of State. I packed the politicians into jail, told them they were guilty until they could prove their innocence. We seized what they had looted, but after I myself was put in detention, the politicians were given back what they had looted. How many elite complained about that?

“Three times I contested elections; three times I went to court after the elections were rigged against me. No justice, but I said ‘God dey.’

“It was mainly the ordinary people that stood by me. That is why I am always conscious of them. They are my constituency. Even pregnant women on the queue would fall into labour, go to have their babies, and still come back to vote for me. I will keep doing my best for the country.”

The diaspora Nigerians, in their scores, are top flight professionals, drawn from fields like medicine, engineering, sports, the arts, investment, academia, politics, agriculture, transport, education, publishing, and many others. Most expressed the wish to come back home, and contribute to the change making a headway in Nigeria. To which the President replied:

“You are contributing to this great country (America). If you want to help back home, invest in education in your constituencies. If you educate people, they won’t then accept nonsense from anybody.”

President Buhari said the administration he leads has by and large kept faith with its three key campaign promises; to secure the country, revive the economy and fight corruption.

“I’ve tried to do my best since I came,” he stressed, adding: “Security-wise, we are better. Boko Haram still conducts cowardly attacks, but the insurgency is not the same as it used to be. They are terrorists, and have nothing to do with religion. We will continue to deal with them. Ask people in the North-east, especially in Borno State, they will tell you they can sleep with two eyes closed now.”

The parley was put together by Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Diaspora Matters, and the Nigerian professionals were drawn from different parts of the United States and Canada. Representatives of USA chapters of Nigerians in the Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) also presented awards to President Buhari in appreciation of his performance, urging him to do more.

The Presidency Friday stepped up efforts to convince labour unions in the country to call off their strike following the earlier meeting at which the government accepted their demand to reconvene the tripartite meeting on the proposed new national minimum wage.

The meeting between the labour leadership and the representatives of the employers of labour is now scheduled to reconvene on October 4.

The meeting would involve representatives from the federal and state governments; the Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA); the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce Industry Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) and the Nigerian Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMES).

Invitation letters have since been dispatched to all the participants.

“At the moment, the Presidency understands that the combined leadership of the unions, having met and deliberated on the position of the government have now set in motion a process of consultations with their constituent members to determine their next line of action,” said a statement by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.

Nigerians across the nation have reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s remarks that he was called ‘Baba go slow’ by some elites who watched the misrule of the past administrations but said nothing.

President Buhari was quoted in a statement as saying this at a meeting with Nigerians in the diaspora on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

However, citizens have taken to social media to express their feelings about the President’s speech.

DAILY POST pooled some of them below:

@glriabije: “Stop this vehicle, we are not going again.. Baba Reverse not go slow”

@Lboogie_k: “Even the Israelites on their way out of Egypt criticised Moses and preferred to return to Egypt.”

@dezzonyilo: “The only thing that changed between this government and the last is the nomenclature, mantra and the face of leadership. It’s still same crop of peeps and ideas. Old wine in new bottles. How different is Sure-P from N-power???”

@theonce001: “Shameless president with no WAEC certificate ruling over 190million people with more than five degrees and PhD’s. What a shame on Nigeria to have you head the affairs of the nation. I curse the day I was born in Nigeria and having you as a president. Shame on you!”

@Naijaour: “Those who went fast like Donald Trump have created over N7m jobs, you have lost 7.9m. Ethiopia is among the fastest growing economies in the world, you have made Nigeria poverty capital. You are yet to conduct one generally accepted election. You paid £3m to Boko Haram…”

@ahmedsempire: “Thank God we have a President that understands governance is a continuous process. It is the mentality of politician wanting to start something new (some with the intent of using it as an avenue to siphon public funds) that has led to so many abandoned projects in Nigeria.”

@dgemstone69: “They forgot that; Slow and steady win a race. Going slow with a fast pace of infrastructural development.
@shittumoney: “Abegi. Na fast and furious means of national development we want. I don’t care which party as long as they sense enough to get it done.”

@Obasi_felixxy: “What kind of insensitive comment is this? I feel so ashamed been governed by a president who lacks the dignity of such office.. Who did we offend?”

@Mbaka_Ogonnaya: “In a fast paced world where different nations progress in supersonic speed, Baba continues to go slow, plunging Nigeria into deeper poverty, insecurity and institutionalizing electoral vices. Go slow all you like but be sure to stop & park by 2019. We want to get the hell out!!”

  Osun Rerun A Show Of Shame - INEC And Police Compromised
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-29-2018, 06:07 PM - No Replies

[Image: PIC-2-Osunx.jpg]

Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, yesterday, described the Osun State governorship re-run election last Thursday as a show of shame. Fayose also alleged that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and his ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) have killed democracy in Nigeria with the outcome of what he described as “electoral fraud” in Osun State.

The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, decried the conduct of the poll as well as its outcome, alleging that it was a perversion of the will of the people and a rape of democracy.

Reacting to the declaration of APC’s Gboyega Oyetola as the winner of the September 27 re-run poll by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Fayose said Nigeria has now become a laughing stock before the international community.

“With the show of shame that happened in last Saturday’s Osun State governorship election in general and Thursday’s re-run in particular, there is no other conclusion to draw than that democracy is now dead in our beloved country,” adding that by its actions, the APC has killed democracy with alleged rigging machinery deployed in Ekiti State on July 14 and Osun on September 22 and 27, respectively.

Fayose stated: “With what happened in Osun state, democracy is actually dead in Nigeria and we are in critical times. The Osun supplementary election was just a repeat of what happened in Ekiti State on July 14. And it is unfortunate that, again, the will of the people has been perverted.’

“It was obvious even to the blind that the Osun election, as was the case with Ekiti, was a contest between the PDP and the security agencies, supervised by a compromised INEC.” The governor alleged that the university professors used as returning officers by INEC have, ab initio, been allegedly compromised and only serve the interest of those he described as their paymasters, adding: “Therefore, we want to believe that the survival of Nigerians and the survival of this country as a whole are at the mercy of God and of the judiciary.

“And if the judiciary fails to rise up to the occasion, Nigerians will be among men the most miserable.”Reviewing previous elections, Fayose said the ruling APC has perfected various forms of what he called “rigging plans, beginning with Edo, going forward to Ondo and Ekiti and now Osun state,” but commended Senator Ademola Adeleke for having fought a good fight, as “you did not lose, but your mandate has only been stolen.”

Fayose, who condemned the violence that attended the election, sympathised with the families of those killed and enjoined PDP members to refrain from taking the law into their own hands, assuring: “Help will come soon.”

  "No Candidate From The Core North Can Defeat Buhari In 2019" — Dele Momodu
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-29-2018, 01:35 PM - No Replies

concluded Osun State governorship election saying what transpired 'was not a Gubernatorial, but prelude to Presidential election'

In the article, Dele Momodu also said, 'let me say with every emphasis I can muster, no candidate from the core North can compete against, and defeat, Buhari simply on the basis that they come from the core North. It is practically impossible'.

Read His Full Statement Below:


Quote:Fellow Nigerians, let’s not mince words today and go straight to the crux of the matter. What transpired in the State of Osun, as my dear Brother, the Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, loves to refer to our State, was not a Gubernatorial, but prelude to Presidential election. The interest and resources galvanised for that election demonstrated that it was a civil war and not a civilised election.

The election was seen and executed as a referendum on the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari and its wobbly government. While the ruling party appeared determined, or maybe ‘desperate’ is the appropriate word, to win, the main opposition party looked jazzed and disinterested. But for the merciful interventions of former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the President of the Nigerian Senate, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the PDP candidate, Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke, could as well have been a virtual orphan. It was that bad.

What manner of opposition would sit at home, arms akimbo, after seeing how the President, Vice President, Governors, Ministers and party Chieftains all invaded, and flooded, Osun as if their lives depended on it? I fail to understand how PDP can parade over a dozen Presidential aspirants yet only few of them are showing irrevocable commitment to serious party matters while the rest are only pursuing personal agenda.

Adeleke was just lucky to be blessed with a family that had the means to fund his campaign and in particular a megastar, David Adeleke (aka Davido), who unleashed his monstrous talent on the campaign. The ways of politicians are certainly not the ways of ordinary mortals. I could not believe how they turned Osun into a theatre of war because of a few thousand votes. I thought that, by now, Nigeria had passed this disgraceful and embarrassing stage.

I have no doubt that APC merely used the elections in Ekiti and Osun as dress rehearsals of what to expect in next year’s general elections. A former President had told me months ago that we should not expect President Buhari to lose the election and quit quietly like President Goodluck Jonathan did in 2015, but I disagreed most vehemently. Thank God, we did not take a bet because with what happened in Osun, in particular, I don’t see the APC apparatchik agreeing to vacate power without a truculent fight.

Many people, Nigerians and non-Nigerians have come to the incontrovertible conclusion that what we currently have is an army of occupation and we should accept our fate with equanimity. But no country can afford not to have a virile opposition. This is why it is sad and tragic that those who were in opposition only yesterday are perpetrating the same unfortunate acts we collectively rejected and dismissed not too long ago.

It is also a shame that political parties have become over-proliferated in our dear beloved country. This has made it difficult for us to have a unified resolve to challenge what may ultimately turn into a Gestapo and most oppressive civilian regime. The PDP that should fight back stoutly to give a good fight is already gasping for breath because of multiple ambitions of individuals who may choose to turn coat at the drop of a hat. From the multitude of PDP aspirants and even the cacophony of permutations about who can challenge Buhari to a duel, it is becoming clear, to discerning minds, that there are only two, possibly three serious challengers and no more.
Of these three, two currently stand tall. 

One is old and the other is young. It seems patently obvious, from the recent shenanigans that we have seen, that President Buhari and his people would do everything humanly possible to avoid confronting either of these two candidates at the polls next year.
Moving on, let me say with every emphasis I can muster, no candidate from the core North can compete against, and defeat, Buhari simply on the basis that they come from the core North. It is practically impossible.

The jejune argument that PDP should pick a candidate who can divide the core Northern votes is either a joke carried too far or a deliberate decision to hand power back to the incumbent on a platter of gold. What the PDP needs urgently is a candidate who can explode its votes in the entire South and the North Central. I do not hereby advocate for any candidate. I make my thesis only on the basis of empirical analysis.

Buhari lost elections three consecutive times because he couldn’t saunter across those zones. If you doubt my assertion, let’s examine the figures, in practical terms. In 1999, PDP scored 4,226,330 in South South while ANPP/AD recorded 1,205,087. PDP 2,307,712 in South East and ANPP/AD 978,997. PDP 1,092,216 in South West and ANPP/AD 4,366,993. This was Chief Olu Falae versus General Olusegun Obasanjo.

The Yoruba can mobilise humongous votes when they feel they have their own in the race. The sentiment was in favour of Falae. PDP 3,675,027 in North Central and ANPP/AD 1,461,840. PDP 3,552,354 in North East and ANPP/AD 1,412,426. PDP 3,887,536 in North West and ANPP/AD 1,684,934. In 2003, PDP jumped to 6,953,679 in South South and ANPP 365,161. PDP 3,161,150 in South East and ANPP 253,079. PDP 5,031,288 in South West and ANPP 195,024. PDP 3,257,956 in North Central and ANPP 1,993,705. PDP 2,941,208 in North East and ANPP 3,694,367. PDP 2,764,846 in North West and ANPP 6,453,437.

This was the year Buhari started contesting the Presidency. On this occasion he contested on the platform of ANPP. In 2007, PDP had 6,118,608 in South South and ANPP 365,161. PDP 4,985,246 in South East and ANPP 253,079. PDP 2,836,417 in South West and ANPP 195,024. PDP 3,376,570 in North Central and ANPP 1,744575. PDP 1,832,651 in North East and ANPP 3,660919. PDP 3,466,924 in North West and ANPP 6,453,437. Buhari again contested as ANPP Presidential candidate.

In 2011, PDP recorded 6,118,608 in South South and ANPP 49,978. PDP 4,985,246 in South East and ANPP 20,335. PDP 2,786,417 in South West and ANPP 321,609. PDP 3,123,126 in North Central and ANPP 1,612,999. PDP 1,832,622 in North East and ANPP 3,624,910. PDP 3,395,724 in North West and ANPP 6,453,437.

Buhari was again the flagbearer of the ANPP. In 2015, PDP secured 4,714,725 in South South and APC 418,590. PDP 2,464,906 in South East and APC 198,248. PDP 1,821,416 in South West and APC 2,433,193. PDP 1,715,818 in North Central and APC 2,411,013. PDP 796,580 in North East and APC 2,848,678. PDP 1,339,709 in North West and APC 7,115,199. The import of these figures is that whosoever can checkmate Buhari from the Middlebelt downwards would always defeat Buhari.

This does not necessarily mean such a candidate should come from these regions, but it would be ideal. A candidate with cross-over appeal from the North East and North West would also do well provided he does not believe that his place of origin means he should concentrate his effort in that region or adjunct region. PDP should forget the pipe dream of competing favourably against Buhari in the North East and North West.

He has consistently won overwhelming in those two regions. However, if President Buhari can be restricted to those two zones while opposition locks down the other four zones of the country, then the prospects of the opposition PDP resoundingly beating the APC candidate becomes much brighter. PDP or any intelligent party must apply Isaac Newton’s third Law of Motion: “actions and reactions are always equal and opposite.” Buhari would be 76, his opponent must be the opposite by being much younger. 

70 percent of the electorate are under the age of 45. Opposition requires a candidate who can readily galvanise a multitude of first-time voters.
Nigeria is long overdue for a candidate in the mould of Barack Obama, an energetic and cosmopolitan leader. Politics as a game of numbers must be approached meticulously. 

Buhari has stupendous State appurtenances and resources to deploy, his opponent must have access to similar armoury or have sufficient wherewithal to match the substantial resources of State and not be a scavenger in search of morale, audacity and finance. I’m not sure about what the third force can produce. I have expressed this publicly and privately.


There are those like my dear friend, former Governor Donald Duke, Frank Nweke Jnr. and others who feel a third force can fly next year. I sincerely doubt this. Indeed, I would like to dismiss this as mere wishful thinking. There may also be a fourth force, the Take Back Nigeria Movement being propelled by Omoyele Sowore who has worked extremely hard across Nigeria, but I believe he still has a lot of distance to cover.


The reason is simple. He would have gone very far if he could muster the support of other younger candidates. Same with Fela Durotoye, Kingsley Moghalu and others. I truly wish there could be a consensus candidate, but alas! Where do we go from here, realistically? I think the toughest opposition can still come from PDP if it can rescue itself from certain interests and manage to pick a kamikaze candidate who is not docile and who is ready to fight all the way with everything at his disposal.

No meek or lily-livered gentleman can fight and conquer Buhari next year. The lesson to pick from Osun, while litigation processes are being cooked, is that the next Presidential election is not going to be the stuff of conventional warfare. A serious opposition must prepare for the use of ballistic and anti-ballistic missiles. This is the reality of what to expect.

  Maurizio Zanfanti Dies While Sleeping With A 23-Year-Old Tourist
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 09-29-2018, 01:30 PM - No Replies

Women will rest now. A famous Italian playboy who slept with thousands of women has died aged 63 while having s-x with a 23-year-old tourist, it is reported.

Maurizio Zanfanti, dubbed the 'Romeo of Rimini', was getting intimate with the woman when he had a heart attack, according to local media.

Realising something was seriously wrong, the Romanian tourist alerted the emergency services, but the nightclub manager could not be saved.

Also known as 'Zanza', he died on Tuesday night "after doing what he did best - loving women", the Italian newspaper Il Resto Del Carlino reported.
Zanfanti, who is rumoured to have bedded more than 6,000 women in his lifetime, had reportedly known the tourist for a couple of years.

In the moments before he fell ill, he was having s-x with the woman in a car in Via Pradella, Rimini, in the country's Emilia-Romagna region.
Some reports claim the tourist was getting dressed when Zanfanti's illness became apparent, prompting her to alert the medical services.
Paramedics rushed to the scene, but the playboy was dead.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

SATURDAY, 29TH SEPTEMBER.

THERE’S A MEANING TO YOUR LIFE.


For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).


As a Christian, predestination is at work in you. The Bible says you’ve been “...predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” (Ephesians 1:11). You’re not of this world. You’re from heaven. There’s a meaning and value to your life. There’s a glory in, and on your life. You’re God’s answer to the cry of pain and suffering in today’s world. You might ask, “How’s that?” I’ll tell you!

Psalm 74:20-21 says, “…for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.” God’s answer to the cries coming from these dark regions of the world was Jesus; He sent His Word (Psalm 107:20), in the Person of Jesus. John 1:14 tells us that the Word became flesh, and dwelt amongst us. God’s solution was packaged in the man, Christ Jesus, who came as the Saviour of the world.

After His death, burial, and resurrection, He ascended to heaven; but not without commissioning us, the Church, to continue the work that He started. Isaiah 53:10 says, “…he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.” We’re the seed of Jesus Christ; His reproduction; and through us, His ministry continues. He said in John 20:21, “…as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.”

Today, you’re God’s light to the dark regions of the world, just as Jesus was the light of the world (John 8:12). He said in Matthew 5:14, “Ye are the light of the world….” The dark places of the earth might have been filled with the habitations of cruelty, but you’re the one to do something about it. You’re the light of the world; so, don’t be quiet. Shine the light of the Gospel into the dark regions of the earth, turning their hearts from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God.

PRAYER

Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for guiding me in the path of life and leading me through your Spirit in the direction of your perfect will for me. Your wisdom propels me to walk in the paths of victory, joy, prosperity and peace that you’ve prepared for me ahead of time. I’m the light in this dark world, bringing succour, hope, and blessings to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

1 Peter 2:9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Philippians 2:14-16 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

1-Year Bible Reading Plan
Ephesians 5:3-21 & Isaiah 27-28

2-Year Bible Reading Plan
2 Timothy 4:1-10 & Jeremiah 47



#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN

29TH SEPTEMBER.

I affirm that I am a solution provider, a lifter of men, a dispenser of God’s grace, excellence, righteousness, and wisdom! I am established on the path of success, righteousness, and glory. I am God’s outstretched arm of love and salvation to the world. I was born as the answer to the cry of millions, and through me, God’s blessing flows to others.

I am led by the Spirit; synchronized with Him to always walk in tandem with His plan and purpose for my life. I’ve been brought into a place of honour and promotion; for the Father had predestined me to be called His son through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will, to the praise of His glorious grace. By the anointing, which I’ve received and which abides in me, my fruitful field is turning into a forest, and my life is glorious everyday.

I am exceptional and full of glory because I am continually filled with the Spirit. I function from a vantage position of boldness, audacity, and victory in Christ Jesus, where I do not struggle but enjoy a blissful life of success, and an unending stream of the miraculous. Blessed be God. Hallelujah!

SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES NOW

• Be bold to say the same things that God has said concerning you in His Word. That is what takes you beyond salvation, to enjoy the benefits of salvation ~ Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.

God bless you.

  Almighty Wike And PDP Caging
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-29-2018, 09:23 AM - No Replies

By George Fabrisimo

Once again, Nigerians are faced with the herculean task of choosing who heads and steers the ship of the affairs of the nation. In the context of our democracy, the choices at this stage are between the choices that the two parties make and this case, it is whoever the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presents that faces incumbent president who seeking to return to office in 2019.

So, the PDP delegates are saddled with the responsibility of either getting it right by choosing the Right and the Best the party could offer at the moment or selfishly dash the hopes of the masses, who earnestly yearn and dream for a true change by selecting a mediocre for sentiments that would at best serve only the insatiable quest of a select few at the party level.

The scenario currently playing out points to the fact that some “powerful” individuals in the PDP are hell bent on thwarting the hopes and aspirations of the electorate by orchestrating an agenda that will make the PDP come off with a weaker candidate as its standard bearer.

I watched with utter disgust, how the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, dared a whole party, which he is a member of by insisting the party must either play to his whims and caprices or be taught a bitter lesson.

The question is how did the party, PDP, got to that level? It is unheard of and unthinkable that a sitting governor would threaten a party that boasts of a Senate President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, sitting Governors and former Presidents, Vice Presidents, Governors, Senate Presidents, Speakers, ministers and, hosts of other eminent Nigerians.

Even if the speculation that Wike is the main financier of the party is true, that is still not enough for him to disparage a political party of this size with its popularity and track of achievements. One is inclined to think that perhaps, the reason why Gov. Wike is taking the issue of the venue for the presidential primary personal, is because he’s neck deep into the agenda or plot to field a weaker candidate against the All Progressives Congress, APC candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari as a bargaining chip for him to remain the governor of Rivers State beyond May 2019.

Come to think of it, in Rivers State today, under Gov. Wike’s watch has sold out PDP’s stronghold to the APC. Two of the three Senators from the state are in APC already and the remaining one; is shaky. So, it suits Gov. Wike to trade the prospect of the party, PDP, under which he’s a governor with APC in order to maintain the seat that he currently occupies.

By the way, isn’t it a travesty for Gov. Wike to insult the intelligence of the people he governs who have stated unequivocally that it is either restructuring or nothing? I was shocked with the kind of comment Wike made about restructuring. He sounded as though, he belonged to the APC, who have maintained a clear opposition to the issue of restructuring.

As delegates of the PDP head to the convention ground wherever it takes place, they must bear it in mind that the enemy the party is faced with is bigger than an individual or group of persons of parochial like minds. Nigerians place a huge responsibility on the shoulders of the delegates of PDP, who are today in a position to decide where the country heads.

As such, they must resist any temptation of monetary inducements and an entreaty to do what their consciences feel is right for the country and the party in a week’s time.

The world is watching us as a people. We have for over 3 years plus cried and wailed and waited for this time to present itself to us again; so as to atone for our mistakes and miscalculation of 2015, when we had limited choices.

In 2019, the PDP must give Nigeria and Nigerians the right choice of candidate across board especially at the presidential level. Nigerians are tired of lamenting the inappropriate choices they make at the polls. They deserve to be given opportunity to choose between a competent presidential material, who would not only work the talk but be treated and accorded respect in the comity of nations and a candidate whose low performance in terms of governance has made the country the butt of all jokes.

Indeed, Nigerians would not forgive the PDP in a long time to come should they scuttle the valid expectation of the people.

  Lagos 2019: Ambode Dares Tinubu, Says I Won't Step Down
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-29-2018, 09:14 AM - No Replies

APC leaders to endorse Sanwo-Olu, Hamzat joint ticket today


Quote:“Ambode was told in plain terms that the party will not support his second term ambition and as such should step down for the candidate the party members are clamouring for.”


Quote:The battle for the soul of Lagos State took a strange twist yesterday when Governor Akinwunmi Ambode boldly told a meeting of leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, at the Bourdillon, Ikoyi home of the party’s National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that he will not step down for their preferred candidate in the 2019 governorship race in the state.

The meeting chaired by Tinubu and called under the banner of Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) the most powerful clique in Lagos APC also had in attendance outgoing governor of Osun, Rauf Aregbesola, his newly elected successor, Gboyega Oyetola, Ambode and other members of the 22-member council.

A reliable source at the meeting told Saturday Sun that “Ambode was told in plain terms that the party will not support his second term ambition and as such should step down for the candidate the party members are clamouring for. But throughout the whole discussion and till the meeting ended, the governor stood his ground, explaining why he must run and that he will run if APC desires to win the state.”

The governor was said to have listed his achievements to convince the party leaders who equally failed to shift ground. “He was busy speaking grammar when no single member at the meeting supported him. We wish him luck”, the source added.

The meeting however ended with a directive to the State Working Committee of the party to address a press conference today, Saturday at the party’s secretariat on Acme road, Ikeja where the preferred governorship candidate Jide Sanwo-Olu and his running mate, Femi Hamzat will be officially presented to party members to vote for at the governorship primaries scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday.

The Ambode camp however appears determined to enter into full battle with Tinubu and his men. A source close to the governor told Saturday Sun yesterday that, “Tinubu and his men are jokers, if they fail to present Ambode for second term, they will lose Lagos like they lost Osun, forget the eventual manipulation of the final result.”

“Ambode is the party’s poster boy, and that’s why President Buhari asked the SGF, Boss Mustapha to wade into the Lagos ticket issue but if they ignore even the president’s intervention, they will be doomed like Osun. Nigerians will see that Tinubu is overrated as has shown in Osun. You can see that the president had to send Fayemi, Oshiomhole and others to step into the Osun election, the presidential emissaries didn’t go to meet Tinubu and Aregbesola who were in Osogbo before they went straight to meet Omisore in Ile-Ife, that shows how less they regard him”, the source added.

The Ambode camp had hoped that yesterday’s meeting will end in their favour but was shocked by the insistence of the party leaders that the governor must step down.

  APC, PDP Pick Governorship Candidates Tomorrow
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-29-2018, 09:06 AM - No Replies

Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will, tomorrow, pick the governorship candidates of the two parties for next year’s elections.
The primaries will be held in all but six of the 36 states.
Excluded are Anambra, Bayelsa, Ekiti, Kogi, Ondo and Osun states because governorship elections in those states will be held in later years.

The acting National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr. Yekini Nabena, said direct primaries will be used in Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Cross River, Edo, Ekiti, Imo, Kano, Lagos, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Taraba and Zamfara.

Adamawa, Benue, Borno, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Oyo, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto and Yobe are to use indirect primaries.
The two parties have had to adjust their timetables for the primaries several times in the last one month to accommodate inputs of various vested interest groups and to ensure rancour-free voting.
Ahead of its primaries,the APC in Lagos State yesterday commenced the distribution of identification cards to its members.
The state chairman of the party, Alhaji Tunde Balogun, led other executive members to distribute the cards at the ACME Road secretariat of the party in Ikeja.

The cards were distributed to members through selected party leaders across the different councils in the state.
Addressing the selected party leaders, Balogun said the move was to enable members participate in the governorship and subsequent primaries.
He said no fewer than 1.7 million cards were issued based on the data of members.

He appealed to the representatives to ensure the cards were delivered to registered members in their respective areas immediately, saying: ”We have carefully selected you because of your good records in your areas and because we believe you can deliver in getting these cards across to our members .
“I implore you to do your best in delivering on this assignment so that our members can get their cards before the governorship primary on Sunday.”

Balogun directed them to distribute the cards to identified party members immediately in the presence of their council chairmen and council party chairmen in their respective areas.
He said the distribution must also be done in the presence of the state executive members representing each of the 20 constitutionally-recognised councils.

The chairman said that the party arrived at the arrangement to ensure that cards do not fall into the wrong hands.
Balogun warned that for no reason should the cards be given to the wrong people and urged the leaders to return unclaimed cards to the secretariat.

He added: ”Please make sure you check the photographs on the cards before giving them out.
“We do not want a situation where these cards get to the wrong hands. In case you cannot get the owners of some of the cards, please return them to the secretariat; we will know what to do.
“And for some of you who cannot get all the cards because of bulkiness, please do come tomorrow, as that is the deadline for distribution.”

Issa-Onilu: We’re working to end the dynasty of Saraki in Kwara


[Image: Issa-Onilu.jpeg]


Lanre Issa-Onilu, former group political editor of  THISDAY, is a leading corporate and political communications expert in Nigeria. A member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Issa-Onilu contested the position of the national publicity secretary of the APC at the last convention of the party but lost to Bolaji Abdullahi, an ally of Senate President Bukola Saraki.
He had said the story of his loss may never be knownIn this interview with THISDAY, Issa-Onilu spoke on strategies to put an end to the reign of Saraki in Kwara politics.


[size=undefined]
There is the widespread notion that without the approval of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, nobody can attain any political office in Kwara State. Do you share this view?[/size]


That is a wrong notion. There have been people who held political offices without paying any obeisance to Senator Bukola Saraki. The current Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Muhammed, is one of such persons. You could say it was difficult in the past. Saraki’s politics is set up to stifle competition. It is a brutal hegemony that abhors any attempt by anyone to independently rise into political relevance. It has been an extractive political system that seeks to be in complete control of the political space in Kwara State. It is a system that is being nurtured to deliver droplets to its followers in exchange for their personal integrity. It is a system that feeds on the sheepish submission of its members who expect to derive benefits by so doing. Such system naturally attracts people who are self-centred and greedy, who do not mean well for the generality of the people.
We can understand why many otherwise intelligent people find themselves ensconced in that system. But there are many people in the state who could not submit their conscience to such an anti-people political model. They have continued to maintain their own political course and owe their modest achievements to personal efforts and the grace of God. In any case, it is a system that doesn’t make anyone a leader. The system they run is such that ensures that each time you’re thrown up the ladder of leadership, you are returned to the base after your office. It keeps you in perpetual want, moving from the front of the patronage queue to the back of the queue. It is a cyclical political model.


What do you think has changed?


What you have under Senator Saraki is unlike the situation under his father, the late Dr. Olusola Saraki. Baba Saraki’s political structure was such a strong force that if you didn’t align then you are not likely to make it as a politician in Kwara State. But it was largely a voluntary thing and it was because the late ‘Oloye’ earned the right over the majority of Kwarans. He was such a kind and selfless political leader. He made huge contributions to the lives of a lot of Kwarans and even communities for nearly four decades. It was not about himself. Perhaps, that is why he didn’t die a billionaire. But what he lacked in monetary term, he had in his good name that is worth more than all the monies he could have made. So, it was a reciprocal thing, which was what was passed on to the Senate President in 2003. We expected him to even transform the dynasty to a modern and benevolent political machine. He did not do that. But Bukola Saraki has left those of us who agitated for a change during the times of his father to feel nostalgic about that era. The nearly 16 years that he has been in charge of governance in Kwara State are easily the worst era since Kwara State was created. Even his supporters cannot deny that.


Some would say that he has been able to manage the dynasty effectively because considering the fact that even after his father’s demise, nobody has been able to challenge his authority politically in the state.


People make serious mistake by what they call 

[size=undefined]“Saraki dynasty.” The same Senate President decimated the Saraki dynasty in 2011. He took over in a very hostile manner and the first victim of that political coup was the late Oloye himself. What you have with Bukola today is not the same dynasty that Baba Saraki held so beautifully for nearly four decades. What he has with him now is essentially a Bukola Saraki thing. The real ‘Sarakites’, are not with Bukola. You can’t mention any real Sarakite who was with Baba who are still with Bukola today.
I think if we want to be fair in our assessment of the Kwara situation, we must separate the dynasty that Baba Saraki built, which to a large extent served the people, from the Senator Bukola Saraki’s extractive political system. Whatever has happened to our state in the last 16 years has nothing to do with the Late Senator Olusola Saraki. I would push this argument further that it would even be unfair to blame Senator Bukola Saraki alone for the misgovernance of the last 16 years. I have always disagreed with people who blame a family, the Saraki family at that, for our predicament in Kwara State. I am aware that only one member of the Saraki family has held a political office with control over our commonwealth and authority to make decisions that affect our lives during this period. If we are putting every person whose surname is Saraki in the dock over the misuse of our resources, what happened to those several Kwarans who were commissioners during this period? Are they not part of the infamy? Are all these people also from the Saraki family? Why are we not mentioning their fathers’ names in this roll call of politicians who have messed up our socio-economic and political lives? I do not think we should allow anyone hide under Saraki family. They should step forward for their own garlands for bad leadership, in which they played active roles.[/size]


Are you saying that the APC can undo Saraki in Kwara?


In fact, Saraki is not even our focus. He had the opportunity to be the leader we all want. He chose not to be. Our concern now is how to ensure we do not disappoint the majority of Kwarans who have faced the unfortunate consequences of the bad leadership. The people of Kwara State have desired a change long before now. To be fair to them, they have demonstrated this in a very clear term. The challenge has been with the opposition politicians whose personal interests have continued to becloud their involvement in this struggle. Our hope is that we will all rise this time by subsuming individual ambitions under the collective interests of the people of Kwara State. The only hurdle we have in this effort to free the state from the painful and dehumanising political grip of Senator Saraki is the manner the opposition has been conducting itself. Our focus is how to get Kwara out of the doldrum. We know Saraki is not an issue. He knows himself. It is left for us in the APC to do the right thing. We know that the people are ready.


Some people have said the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed is not on ground. Others say he is a paperweight politician. How would you react to that?


You will hear that from those who are following the Senate President. You know quite well, when you talk of political leadership, then you are talking of the people that surround such a leadership. You need to look at all of the people working with Alhaji Lai Muhammed in Kwara State. If you isolate the Senate President from the politicians following him, you would call him a paperweight politician. Alhaji Lai is the leader of APC in Kwara State and you would have to be completely ignorant about Kwara politics to underrate the APC that the Minister is leading in Kwara State.


By your own estimation, do you think the APC leadership at the national level is still good for Nigeria?


By far, this is the government Nigeria requires for this period and President Buhari is the person that can lead Nigeria from the dark past to the promising future. We will not be doing ourselves any good by going back to the year of the locust when impunity was the order of the day. The last three and half years have seen tremendous progress in infrastructure. A solid foundation is finally being laid for the emergence of a robust 21st century economy riding on the concrete steps being taken through diversification of our productive economy.


Your party has been debating either to opt for direct or indirect primary in electing political office seekers. Which side of the divide do you belong?


I will tell you that whether direct, indirect or consensus, they are all part of democratic steps you could take to present candidates for an election. What is important is the process. If the process is transparent, free and fair, we are good to go. This is what the current APC leadership is all about.


You were one of the leading contestants for the post of National Publicity Secretary of the APC, which you lost. What do you think happened in that contest?


It was not about Lanre Issa-Onilu. It was about the collective desire of those who believe Kwara deserves a better deal. The only reason we came up to vie for that position was to challenge a system that is not serving the interest of our state! To stop imposition, to ensure that every Kwaran is inspired, to rise and take position on any issue and vie for any office they desire.


Our plan was that no matter what position was zoned to Kwara at that convention, we would have looked for a competent person to contest it to square up against whomever the Senate President was bringing. He doesn’t own us. Not everybody is ready to go through whatever they go through to work with him. What they do doesn’t represent the best for us in the state.


The issues are not personal. They are about governance. It is about service delivery and we think he has been dealing with us with the short end of the stick. And the only way we can stop that is to take our own destinies into our hands.
It was just a coincidence that what was zoned to Kwara was Publicity Secretary. The opposition group pushed me forward and I stood up. We showed courage and we are happy that many people in Kwara were inspired by that.

  Osun Streets Devoid Of Celebration Despite Oyetola’s Victory
User Avatar Forum: General Discussion
Posted by: Edoman - 09-28-2018, 04:24 PM - No Replies

September 28, 2018
Femi Makinde, Osogbo

The streets of Osogbo and other major towns in Osun State have remained calm, devoid of jubilation by supporters of the All Progressives Congress despite the declaration of the candidate of the party, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, as the winner of the governorship election.

Our correspondent observed that the kind of wild jubilation that usually follows such electoral victory is lacking in the state.


As of 10:45 am, Olaiya Junction, which is usually the meeting point for protest and jubilation was clam but security men were stationed there to prevent the breakdown of the law and order especially from residents who believed that the election was openly rigged in favour of Oyetola.

Army patrol vans are stationed at Okefia Motor park and other volatile areas in a bid to prevent protest which some people believe may trail the announcement of the poll results.


The candidate of the Propels Democratic Party, Senator Ademola Adeleke, led in the first ballot by 353 votes but the APC candidate came from behind to win the poll amidst allegations of intimidation of voters and brazen rigging with the cooperation of security agents.

Local and foreign observers and many residents of the state have criticised the APC led Federal Government over the election.

  Fayose Reacts To 2018 Osun Election

Posted by: Edoman - 09-28-2018, 03:20 PM - No Replies

The awaiting is over, the current governor of Ekiti state,Ayo Fayose as finally reacted to the 2018 election held in Osun state.

He took to his twitter handle with caption saying...

Quote:With the show of shame that happened in last Saturday's Osun state governorship election in general and the Thursday rerun in particular, there is no other conclusion to draw than that democracy is now dead in our beloved country.

The Osun supplementary election was just a repeat of what happened in Ekiti state on July 14 and it is unfortunate that, again, the will of the people has been perverted.

It was obvious even to the blind that the Osun election, as was the case with Ekiti, was a contest between the PDP and the security agencies supervised by a compromised INEC.

Therefore, we want to believe that conscionable Nigerians and the survival of this country as a whole are at the mercy of God and of the judiciary. And if the judiciary fails to rise up to the occasion, Nigerians will be among men the most miserable..

  Private Jet Breaks Into 2 In South Carolina, Two Pilots Dead! (Photos)
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 09-28-2018, 03:08 PM - No Replies

Two people have died and two have been seriously injured after a private jet sped off runway in South Carolina airport and crashed into a fence.

The private jet landed at 1.40pm on Thursday at the Greenville Downtown Airport, but instead of coming to a stop it ran off the runway and crashed into a fence, breaking the aircraft into two.

The Greenville Police Department says there were four people on board, three men and one woman. Two were pilots and the two passengers were a married couple.

Greenville City Fire spokesman Tristan Johnson confirmed that the two people who died in the crash were the pilot and the co-pilot of the plane, according to WSPA.

The passengers are in the hospital in critical condition. The victims are yet to be named.

Police spokesman Donnie Porter announced after the crash:

For some reason, we're not sure why, [the plane] was not able to stop, went off the end of the runway, and crossed to the grass on the runway, that's about another 200 feet, then down an embankment and finally came to rest at the airport road.

I believe that one of the pilots, not sure which, was either temporarily unconscious or what not but was leaning on the throttle.

Police spokesman Porter said that this was the biggest accident the airport has seen in a long time.

By Thursday evening the FAA was en route to take over the investigation.

  Deji Adeyanju Exposes Wike As 'The APC Mole In PDP'
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 09-28-2018, 03:05 PM - No Replies

Deji exposed Wike as working for the emergence of Buhari second term with the following tweets



Quote:As promised,
I will now tell you how Governor Wike is working with Buhari and his men for second term. Wike had constantly met with the former DSS DG, Lawan Daura & in July 2017, he signed an agreement with the former DSS DG in the presence of Chief of Staff Abba Kyari.


10 out the 12 presidential aspirants opposed PH as convention venue, but Wike’s puppet -Secondus connived with Delta governor who is Wike’s friend to take the convention to PH against objections just to pave the way for the manipulation of the convention in Wike’s domain.

The BoT of the party opposed taking the convention to PH since Wike has a vested interest & is supporting a candidate. But Secondus still took the convention to PH on the instruction of Wike the mole.
Today, Wike is threatening the party because God has exposed his plans.

Wike the mole is trying to play the same game Asiwaju Tinubu played in 2011 with Jonathan when he signed an agreement to produce a weak opposition candidate -Nuhu Ribadu against the then president but God has exposed him.

Almost all the presidential aspirants know the agreement Wike has signed with president Buhari.
The party should not beg Wike the mole. They should allow him to do his worse. Energy should be dissipated on how to produce a strong presidential candidate who can defeat Buhari.

The Board of Trustees and all other organs of the party must save PDP from Wike the mole. The naive supporters of Wike always claim that He is the one that has been funding the party since 2015. One must ask how?
Wike could not fund Edo, Ondo, Anambra, Ekiti, Osun, etc.

Wike the mole only funds the few hungry people in the party who run to Rivers State everytime they are broke. Wike can not fund a presidential election. He can not even fund elections in Rivers State and his next door neighbor Akwa Ibom in 2019.

The recent shaking up of Wike by EFCC with the arrest of Zenith Bank GMD over N117bn suspicious bank withdrawals by Wike is to put him in line after there were fears that he wanted to recind on the agreement.

Wike’s arrogance and the way he threatens the party and its leaders publicly and privately comes from the fact that he has stolen Rivers State funds in his custody.

If the opposition like, let them be wise, if not: Na dem go SUFFER.

  Saraki Reacts To Osun Rerun Election, Calls It A Sham
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-28-2018, 03:01 PM - No Replies

The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has described Thursday’s rerun election held in Osun State as a total sham and the biggest electoral fraud in the history of the country.

Saraki, who is also a presidential aspirant in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stated this while addressing journalists during his campaign tour in Kaduna State.

The Senate President consequently called for the cancellation of the result, especially in view of the complaints made about the supplementary election.

Saraki accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of rigging the election, stressing that the Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ademola Adeleke, ought to have been declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday.

This, he said, is because Adeleke had polled the highest number of votes based on the vote count on Sunday.

  What APC Government Has Done For Nigeria – Buhari
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-28-2018, 12:07 PM - No Replies

President Muhammadu Buhari has told Nigerians in the diaspora that his administration has done well in the areas of security, economy and anti-corruption.

Buhari, who stated this during an interactive session with a select group of Nigerian professionals based in the United States and Canada, said his administration had delivered within the available resources.

The president explained that Boko Haram had been decimated, adding that it was most important for the country to be secured but regretted that the terrorist group was still targeting soft spots using girls for suicide bombings.

Buhari declared that “Boko Haram is not about religion but a pure terrorist group”, adding that “is why we are dealing with them”.

On corruption, he regretted that Nigeria made so much money from 1999 to 2014 when the price of crude oil per barrel was above 100 dollars while Nigeria produced around 1.2 million barrels per day.

“Calculate 2.2 million barrels times 100 dollars times 16 years; but everything went down the drain,” emphasising that “if Nigeria does not tame corruption, corruption will tame Nigeria”.

  Morming Devotional For Friday 28th September
User Avatar Forum: Daily Devotions

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES


FRIDAY, 28TH SEPTEMBER.

HE CAME TO DO MUCH MORE.

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will (Ephesians 1:11).


There’s a way some people think about Jesus and the Gospel that’s inconsistent with the real purpose for which He came into this world. For some, He came to save us from sin, but He came to do much more than saving us from sin. Delivering humanity from sin, the devil, wickedness and the corrupting influences in the world, was a means to an end. The primary reason Jesus came was to make us sons of God, and bring us into fellowship with the Father.


1 John 3:2 says, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God….” 1 John 1:3 says, “…and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” This is the glory of Christianity; the consummation of all that Jesus came to do! He made fellowship with God possible. He made it possible for sinful man to become God’s living tabernacle.

It would have been wonderful for us just to be God’s servants or His favoured creatures, but He chose to bring us into oneness with Himself, into His class. Now we have become partakers of the divine nature. This is beyond religion. You’re not an ordinary person; you’re an heir of the Monarch of the universe (Romans 8:17), and a joint-heir with Christ. You’re a member of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones (Ephesians 5:30).

You’re in an inseparable union with Him. You can’t go anywhere or do anything without Him. He said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches…” (John 15:5). We have the same life, nature, and character with Him. Now we can think like Him, because we have the same mind with Him (1 Corinthians 2:16). We can express and manifest His glory and His righteousness, because we’re the epitome of His righteousness, and the effulgence of His glory.

This is Christianity! This is what Jesus came for; He brought life and immortality to light. He came to give us the same life the Father has! Hallelujah.

CONFESSION

Righteous Father, what an awesome blessing it is to know that you’ve brought me into an inseparable union with you. I’m of the same stock with Jesus, and a partaker of His very life; a member of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY:

John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

John 10:10 AMPC The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it [a]overflows).

John 1:10-13 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN


28TH SEPTEMBER.

I affirm that the Lord is magnified in my life, and His glory has increased in my life. All things that pertain to life and godliness has been granted me by the Father. I can never be disadvantaged for the favour of God is functioning in and through me. Hallelujah! I am the seed of Abraham, and by extension, the possessor of all things.

I am blessed beyond measure, and everything consistent with the good life: increase, progress, success, fruitfulness, productivity and a life of glory are my birthright. My spiritual antenna is attuned to the right frequency, and the eyes of my understanding are continually opened to recognize those resources, gifts, and talents which the Father has placed at my disposal, so I could be a solution provider, both in my life and in the life of God’s people.

I am anointed for such a time as this, and the Word of God is producing great results in every area of my life. I and the Father are one, thus, the Word in my mouth is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, filled with divine energy to turn any situation around for my good. The Word is in my mouth today, and with it, I prevail over circumstances. Glory to God. Hallelujah!

SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES NOW

• Be bold to say the same things that God has said concerning you in His Word. That is what takes you beyond salvation, to enjoy the benefits of salvation ~ Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has disqualified Adebayo Shittu, minister of communications from the governorship race over his failure to partake in the one-year mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.

Premium Times had reported that Shittu failed to present himself for the scheme despite graduating from the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU) at age 25.

*#Osun_rerun: US, EU, UK allege voters’ intimidation, harassment*
_*• say it is unfortunate the shame Osun Rerun brought upon Nigerian democracy*_

 _September 28, 2018_
  
In their appraisal of the Osun State rerun governorship election , the missions of the United States , European Union and the United Kingdom , who were on the ground to monitor the exercise , said there were overwhelming incidents of harassment and intimidation of voters .
.
Reading the missions ’ joint report , the US Consul General, Mr John F . Bray , said , “The missions of the United States , European Union and the United Kingdom observed voting at polling stations in Osun today (Thursday) . We witnessed what appeared to be incidents of interference and intimidation of voters and have reports of harassment of party monitors , journalists and domestic observers.
.
It is so unfortunate, this regression  in Nigeria Democratic development.
.
“ We are very concerned by these reports and we will be checking with stakeholders to determine the facts before further briefing. We call on all stakeholders to remain calm .”

  Osun Rerun: PDP Rejects Results, Says It’s Black Day For Nigeria
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-28-2018, 08:09 AM - No Replies

Quote:National Chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus
The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party met in Abuja on Thursday over the conduct of the rerun governorship election in Osun State.

While rejecting it, the party also said that the Thursday election was one of the worst days in the history of Nigeria.

It described the election as a black day for the nation.

The National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, spoke at an emergency meeting after the meeting of members of the PDP National Working Committee.

He lamented that Osun State was put under siege and the citizens’ right trampled upon by security agents, whom he said were backed by both the All Progressives Congress and the Independent National Electoral Commission officials.

He expressed concern that if what took place in Osun State was what would take place in 2019, then the future of Nigeria’s democracy “is bleak and the nation sliding into crisis.”

He said, “What we have witnessed in Osun shows clearly that the All Progressives Congress is not ready for an election and we are afraid that President Muhammadu Buhari will not hand over if he loses the election next year.

“Today, we are all aware of the rerun election in Osun State as we address the press conference. We, the members of the National Working Committee, have reviewed what has happened from the distribution of materials to the actual voting in some of the units and wards.

“We found that Osun is under siege. Therefore, today is a black day for Nigeria.

“We would think that it is a state or some units, but if you look at what has transpired so far from Ekiti to Osun State, Nigerians are groaning in pains especially the Osun people.

“The right of the citizens to be able to come out and vote had been trampled upon and the entire state and the wards and units have been seized by the security agencies who were acting on behalf of the APC to make sure the election is rigged by all means.

“We are sad that if this is what is going to take place in 2019, then the future of Nigeria’s democracy is bleak and we are sliding into crisis.”

Secondus challenged INEC to rise above what happened in Osun and declare the PDP candidate as the winner of the election.

He also called on the commission to immediately cancel the elections in all the units where security agencies seized the Permanent Voter Cards of PDP members and also where their members were prevented from voting.

In his reaction, the Deputy National Chairman (South-West), Dr Eddy Olafeso, noted that security agents colluded with the APC people by allowing those wearing uniform bearing the APC governorship name to vote.

He alleged that in Orolu and Garage Olode and some of the units, the PVCs of PDP members were seized and INEC members of staff were induced with cash, which he said they could not refuse.

  Osun Rerun: I’ll Retrieve My Stolen Mandate At Tribunal —Adeleke
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-28-2018, 07:21 AM - No Replies

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State , Senator Ademola Adeleke , has vowed to retrieve his ‘stolen mandate ’ from Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress at the election petition tribunal .
Adeleke said this while speaking in an interview with journalists shortly before the final figure was announced by the Returning Officer, Prof . Joseph Fuwape, on Thursday.
The PDP candidate , who spoke through his brother , Dele Adeleke , said he would meet with the party leadership and tribunal would be the next step for the party and the candidate to take .
He said , “It will be foolish to allow this 419 result to stand. The party will meet and I believe that the tribunal is the next step to take.
“Adeleke ’s mandate can ’t be stolen, it will be retrieved . The wish of the people will stand at the end .”
However , the All Progressives Congress has said the PDP is crying foul over the result of the Osun State governorship rerun election because of the inability of the opposition party to rig the poll .
The APC said this in a statement issued on Thursday by its Director of Publicity , Research and Strategy in Osun State , Mr Kunle Oyatomi .
Speaking in the statement released after the rerun poll which was held in seven units , the APC spokesperson said that the opposition party made an elaborate arrangement to rig the poll but were prevented from carrying out the act .
He said , “Osun people have spoken . The PDP was unable to manipulate the result this time around , so they are crying foul. We have always known and have made ourselves clear before the election that the PDP had made elaborate arrangements to rig the election through the manipulation of the card readers and it was this process that made them got the votes allocated to them in the first ballot .
“Nobody expected the PDP to even come second . Most people in Osun have the belief that it would be a straight fight between the APC and SDP. But as God would have it, Osun was saved from the vultures.
“We will like the Osun people to understand that the runoff votes went the way it did because the PDP was unable to manipulate the card readers this time around and fortunately the police thwarted their plot of vote -buying and trying to use the PVCs of unsuspecting voters . That was why some of their leaders were arrested . So the PDP should look for other excuses .
“They attempted to win by fraud; they failed in the first round and eventually lost the rerun election .”https://punchng.com/osun-rerun-ill-retrieve-my-stolen-mandate-at-tribunal-adeleke/

  FUNAAB Postgraduate Student: 'I Was Raped Through The Anus & Private Part'
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 09-28-2018, 07:11 AM - No Replies

24-year-old postgraduate student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, has accused a man, Adesoji Orenowo, of raping her in his house at European Quarters, Meiran, Lagos. Punch reports. 

The FUNAAB postgraduate student in her statement to the police, said she agreed to spend the night at Orenowo’s house because she trusted him.

She said, “The reason I visited him was to know him more after we met in December 2017. He told me that he was always busy at work and if I were free during the weekend, we could hook up. He sent me N3,000 for transport fare. That was the first time he would send money to me.

“When I got to his place, I slept there because I met his uncle and the uncle’s wife with some cousins, who welcomed me. Though I was still uncomfortable and was contemplating on going back home, his uncle’s wife said I was safe.

“Around 10pm, I went to sleep in the room provided for me, which was opposite his uncle’s room. Around 2.30am, I saw Orenowo beside me; he was touching and harassing me. I suddenly stood up and went to the passage. Fortunately, his uncle came out to urinate and saw me reading the Bible with the torchlight of my phone. I went to sit in the sitting room.

“Orenowo came and suddenly dragged me from the sitting room through the passage into the room. While hitting my head on the wall, he held my neck. I called for help, but his uncle did not come out.

“He (Orenowo) almost strangled me, saying if I said anything, he would kill me and nobody would trace me. I received a lot of punches and slaps. He stripped me Unclad and threatened to tie me to the bed if I did not cooperate with him. He penetrated me through the anus and private parts.”

The victim said she reported the incident to Orenowo’s uncle and left the house for a hospital.

Orenowo, however, denied the allegation, saying he did not sleep with his guest after she turned down his advances. 

He said, “While I was touching her after we had retired to bed, she told me not to touch her that she was in a fasting and prayer programme. She took the Bible on my bed and left the room.

“When she later came back from the sitting room, we started romancing each other and she insisted that she did not want to have sex and I left her to sleep.”

Orenowo was arraigned before an Ogba Magistrates’ Court on one count of sexual assault.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The magistrate, Mr P.E. Nwaka, ordered that the suspect be remanded in prison.

  NCAA Records 19, 323 Delays, 348 Cancellations In H1 2018
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-27-2018, 02:57 PM - No Replies

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has announced that no fewer than 19,323 flights were delayed within the country’s airspace in the first half of 2018.

Within the same period, another 348 flights were also cancelled among local and international airlines operating within and into the country.


This was made known by the Director-General of NCAA, Captain Muhtar Usman during presentation at the All Aviation Industry Information Managers’ Conference held at the agency’s annex office at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.

Usman explained that out of the 19,323 flights delayed, domestic airlines had 16,880 while the remaining 2,443 was among the 33 foreign airlines operating into the country.

He also said that within the same period, domestic airline operators cancelled 253 flights while their foreign counterparts had 95 flights cancelled.

Usman further stated that within the first half of the year, 17,893 delayed and missing baggage were recorded among the international airlines while the domestic operators had 25 delayed and missing luggage.

The director general however, said the authority had warned airlines against unwarranted flight delays and cancellations, stressing that NCAA would not tolerate infringement on air travellers’ rights.

It would be recalled that flight delays and cancellations had been rampant in recent times with NCAA cautioning airlines against consistent violation of passengers’ rights.

Airlines had severally attributed inadequate infrastructure at most of the country’s airports, stressing that until the infrastructure were improved upon, the delays and cancellation would continue.

However, statistics indicate that Middle East, Qatar Air, Royal Air Maroc, Rwandair, Saudi Airline, Sudan Air, South African Airways, Turkish Airlines, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic Airways were guilty of flight delays among the international carriers while Delta Air Lines too cancelled some flights within the period.

At the yesterday’s meeting, Usman also said within the period, 20 aircraft were registered for commercial air transport while the other 10 were registered for General Aviation (GA).

He added: “Between January and June 2018, 10 aircraft were also deregistered by NCAA while another 12 were re-registered by the authority. We also issued 30 certificates of airworthiness and another 85 certificates of airworthiness were renewed by us.

“However, in an industry like us, there is need to improve on information dissemination among information managers in the system. Also, we require integrated communication among all information managers in the system particularly during incidences and near mishaps. This is necessary for NCAA to sustain robust regulation in the Nigerian aviation industry.”

  APC Governorship Primary May Get Raw After Ambode’s Secret N5.5bn Disbursement
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-27-2018, 02:09 PM - Replies (1)

Concerned members from All Progressive Congress (APC), particularly those from former Commissioner for Establishment, Babajide Sanwo-olu, camp, Babajide Olusola Sanwon-olu Campaign Organisation (BOSCO), have began expressing worries over how alleged power house were planning to cause violence in the state through governorship primary election of the party, expected to hold in the state on Saturday.

They claimed that there was need for authority to start bracing up security and that the state Governor, Akinwumi Ambode, and Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edga Imohimi, must be caution against encouraging violence ahead of the primary election in which the governor was a contender, alongside others.

However, the worries, which was not made public, came after Ambode was said to had allegedly began disbursement of N5.5 billion for securing of the APC’s governorship ticket.

Although, hours before the N5.5 billion secret disbursement, Ambode expressed his readiness to participate in the primary election of the party despite pressure from some quarters that the governors should back-down on his second term ambition.

Sources from the BOSCO who spoke to The Guild on the development said that their concerns were on safety of people in the state as attention of the party had been brought to desperation on side of contenders.

One of the sources explained that the readiness of Ambode to go though the primary was commendable but that such acceptance should not happen with intimidation.

He claimed that Ambode and Lagos CP were associate and that the governor may want to capitalize on the opportunity to get the governorship ticket through the back doors.

Another one accused that the governor had plan to make use of Imohimi to create violence on Saturday, and that Ambode’s body language signified that he was aiming to get raw during the primary.

He raised that there was need for the commissioner of police immediate transfer since his ally of Ambode and that he cannot be trusted.

Meanwhile, a source from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), who confided in The Guild on Wednesday afternoon, disclosed that Ambode was on sinister move, with plan to get the ticket through the back 

“Remember I told you thar Ambode and his people want to get the ticket by back doors and they plan to scatter the primary election.

“His hope is that Abuja will now give him ticket. That is what the governor is working on. Enough is said, kindly pass the message to people and let them be vigilant”.

Besides, from Sanwo-olu’s camp, another close associate accused the governor of not been with party from the onset and that a passage from his statement issued earlier, which only recognized 20 local government areas and 245 wards, was an indication that Ambode has ulterior motives.

He raised alarm that trouble was brewing ahead the primary election since the governor has both CP and power on his side and that calling Ambode to order would safe the state from unforeseen chaos.

However, in preparation for the primary election, the State Chairman, APC, Tunde Balogun, invited chairmen of local government areas and that of councils’ chairmen to a crucial working meeting which would be holding at the party’s secretariat in Lagos.

In a statement released on Wednesday by the state secretary, Dr Wale Ahmed, the chairman said that it was important the party get the primaries venues for each L.G.A on the basis of 20 Local Government and for each ward on the basis of 245 wards.

According to him, all concerned should please meet later today to harmonize and agree on the said venues and submit them tomorrow morning.

“I implore you to consider as urgent and please comply”.

In the face of tough period for the governorship primary contenders, another revelation reaching The Guild from various sources was that one of believed political daughter, Kemi Nelson, and another political son, James Falake, of National Leader of APC, Bola Tinubu, were working for Ambode and that they were also against their god father.

They alleged that the duo were working together to have Ambode return to office and that both Nelson and Falake move were general knowledge.

Meanwhile, it was gathered that Ambode, during a meeting of his inner clique yesterday night in Lagos, approved a budget of N5.5 billion to be spent in ensuring that he secures the APC ticket come Saturday when the primaries would be held.

As learnt, the money, which was claimed to had been released in trenches of N250 million, would be shared to voters in the local governments and other target voters.

Speaking on the disbursement of the fund, a source close to the government disclosed that the sharing of the money had commenced discreetly and that one Segun Solanke was among critical links in the execution of the sharing plan of money for votes.

She revealed that those at the meeting asked Ambode to call Tinubu’s bluff and go for broke and that the argument was canvassed that having shut down the money pipes to the party’s national leader, he was in a stronger position to buy his way through the primaries.

“Ambode was also told that if money could buy votes and near victory for the uneducated Senator Adeleke in Osun state then definitely money will work for Ambode in Lagos as a sitting governor”.

“Ambode bought into this arguments and worked out a budget buoyed on by the 2 hawks in his kitchen cabinet who reminded him that “We have the money. Lets spend it.”

“Only one person at the meeting cautioned against the use of such a huge amount of money because Lagosians will perceive it as wasting tax payers money. The same voice also said the comparison of Osun and the situation in Lagos was different.

BREAKING: SDP Disowns Omisore’s Alliance With APC
"The Social Democratic Party (SDP) would like to make it categorically clear that the National Leadership of the party was not part of the recent developments involving our party's gubernatorial candidate, Senator Iyiola Omisore of Osun State, and the conclusions arrived at,” read the statement.

In a terse statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Alfa Mohammed, SDP said it was not part of the conclusions reached Omisore and the APC. 

"The Social Democratic Party (SDP) would like to make it categorically clear that the National Leadership of the party was not part of the recent developments involving our party's gubernatorial candidate, Senator Iyiola Omisore of Osun State, and the conclusions arrived at,” read the statement.

"We remain irrevocably committed to serving the Nigerian people on the basis of the vision, principles and goals of social democracy which underlie the philosophy of our great party, the SDP.”

Earlier on Wednesday, Omisore had announced his readiness to work with the APC ahead of the rerun, saying the decision was made “after due consultations with the party leadership and members in all the 30 local government areas of Osun State”. 
He said APC had agreed to adopt SDP’s manifestos in “forming a coalition government with SDP in Osun State”.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

THURSDAY, 27TH SEPTEMBER.

IT’S GLORY ALL THE WAY.


According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).


God had a plan, which is to make you one with Christ. That plan has already been accomplished. 1 Corinthians 6:17 says, “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” You’re one with the Lord. Being born again is much more than becoming religious; this is no religion. Being a Christian is coming into union or oneness with Christ. You have the same life as Jesus. 1 John 4:17 says, “…as he is, so are we in this world.”

If the foregoing is the truth, and bless God it is, then sickness, disease and infirmity shouldn’t have a place in your body. Satan shouldn’t be a factor to you either, because you’re seated with Christ in the heavenly realms, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

Moreover, Ephesians 1:3 says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” There’s nothing you don’t have. Everything you require for the life of absolute success, victory, dominion, glory and righteousness, has already been granted you in Christ. You’re the seed of Abraham. You were called to a life of glory and excellence. You’re an associate of the God-kind; an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ.

Refuse to live an ordinary life. Have the consciousness that Christ is in you, and you’re in Him; it’ll give you a new mindset and confidence in life; an assurance that you’ll forever be healthy, prosperous, successful, and triumphant in life!
Remember, when He was buried, you were buried with Him; and when God raised Him from the dead, you were raised together with Him. And now that you’ve been raised together with Him, and made to sit together with Him in the heavenly realms, there’s no more death; no more defeat; no more sickness; it’s glory all the way! Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

Dear Father, I thank you for you’ve chosen me out of the world and separated me unto the life of glory, dominion, and power. I’m conscious of my position in Christ; a position of victory, success, prosperity and grace through faith, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.

Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.

The brideGROOM . 

Change, they say, is constant. Change happened and Deric who was once a senior manager in one of the reputable banks in Nigeria was made redundant. Not wanting his wife Charlotte to keep shouldering the family’s responsibilities alone, he goes out Every day in search of employment.

Feeling rather defeated, disappointed and discouraged after an unfruitful day, he walked into their bedroom and found Charlotte dusting the bedroom furniture…

EPISODE ONE!

Deric: Hello sweetheart, what are you doing?

Charlotte: ermmm, my husband paid for this weekend away in this beautiful resort. So I am just in this swimming pool enjoying myself with this bottle of champagne!

Deric: come on, babe! You can answer my question without being cocky.

Charlotte: Deric, I am aware that you lost your job, but when did you lose your sight? I mean, what was the meaning of that question! You clearly saw me cleaning!

Deric: I did. But I was only trying to start a conversation since you didn’t even take any notice of my presence. Anyway! How was work?

Charlotte: stressful!

Deric: have you had something to eat then?

Charlotte: no. Because you left everywhere a mess, and I can’t function in this filth

Deric: erm, I’m very sorry, I..I woke up late and didn’t have the time to clean up

Charlotte: were you running late for work?

Deric: I was running late for an appointment, Charlotte!

Charlotte: oh great! So how was the appointment?

Deric: I met the manager and after a brief conversation, we realised I am not what they are looking for.

Charlotte: so cleaning the house wouldn’t have been such a bad idea. Would it.

Deric: can you just stop going on and on about one day I failed to clean the house!

Charlotte: I see. Anyway, you have a letter.

Deric: from who?

Charlotte: find out. It’s right there on the shelf.

Deric: (sluggishly opens the letter, had a glance, dropped it and started undressing)

Charlotte: that letter is not one to be flipped or left in the shelf. It requires action and I am not one bit ready to deal with that rude woman. Rent is due, my dear husband!

Deric: Charlotte, Please give me a break. Will You?

Charlotte: just passing a message.

Deric: message received. Thank You!

Charlotte: It’s a pleasure!

Deric: Charlotte?

Charlotte: what?

Deric: who is Jaykob?

Charlotte: Bobrisky’s gate man!

Deric: oh will you cut that crap and answer my question!!

Charlotte: hey! You are shouting!

Deric: I’m shouting because you are acting daft! Who is jaykob that kept texting you all night!

Charlotte: I don’t know what you are talking about!

Deric: Charlotte, you attended one of the best universities in the UK, so stop acting as if you have no understanding of the English language!

Charlotte: na asu oyibo (keep speaking English)

Deric: and don’t answer me in your language because you know so damn well that I do not understand It!!!

Charlotte: well! Maybe the time you spent perusing my phone should have been invested in learning a word or two of your wife’s native language! (Storms out)

To be continued



 The brideGLOOM. Episode two


Nina: Are you okay, Charlotte? You look so pale and sleep-deprived.

Charlotte: phewww! This is not even me. It’s just a left over of last night’s dinner.

Nina: I see! So who had you for dinner last night?

Charlotte: my marriage was this close to packing up last night! This close!

Nina: did you have a fight?

Charlotte: a fight would have been better. I told you stupid Jaykob wouldn’t stop ringing and texting me, right?

Nina: yea? What happened?

Charlotte: Deric read some of his messages and went absolutely bunkers! He accused me of infidelity and every thing else known to man! We argued until about 3am this morning. Really heated argument. Nina, I just wanna go somewhere nice and quiet and be alone! I’m so fed up of it all. I really am!

Nina: did he get physical?

Charlotte: nah, Deric would never raise a finger on me.

Nina: you should have explained to him that Jaykob is only a hopeless stalker

Charlotte: I tried but he saw a message he sent to me about the cinema we went together

Nina: oh blimey! You couldn’t put up any convincing defence to that, could you.

Charlotte: none. I was just blabbing and you know Deric is very smart. Anyway, who left these on my desk?

Nina: it’s a memo for board meeting this afternoon. Apparently, we will be officially introduced to the new manager.

Charlotte: have you seen him at all.

Nina: not sure, but I saw a white man sitting in the manager’s office. It could be him.

Charlotte: Jaykob should know. I’ll text him and find o..

Mr Adrian: sorry ladies to interrupt. Is any of you Charlotte?

Charlotte: I am. How may I help?

Mr Adrian: forgive my manners! My name is Adrian and I am the new manager. I will be officially meeting all the staff this afternoon. But before then, I need you to do something for me, if you would.

Charlotte: sure.

Mr Adrian: I’ve just noticed some unpaid bills and I need you to write cheques payable to the companies I’ve written down here. I’ve also included the amounts due to each company . When you are done, please bring the cheques to my office, thanks.

Charlotte: alright. You’ll have it in half an hour

Mr Adrian: perfect! Thanks (walks back to his office)

Nina: hmmmm! Looks like things are about to take a new turn

Charlotte: he seems hands on! Anyway, I better get on with it.

(Before half an hour, Charlotte finished the cheques and took them to Mr Adrian. After about 7 minutes, she got a call from Adrian asking her to come to his office immediately. So she went)

Charlotte: you sent for me, Mr Adrian?

Mr Adrian: I did. Have a seat.

Charlotte: (sits down) thanks.

Mr Adrian: how long have you been working here?

Charlotte: a little over 4 years

Mr Adrian: have you received any formal warning at all?

Charlotte: no, sir.

Mr Adrian: unfortunately, you will be getting one today.

Charlotte: why is that?

Mr Adrian: you’ve just made a mistake that’s capable of causing this company a huge loss. I clearly wrote down the amount of money due to each company.
But from what I have right in front of me, you have made the sum of 1.5 million naira payable to Extext&Co. That is the amount due to Tiletides PLC. Down here, you have made the sum of 2000 naira payable to Clearglass instead of 2 million naira.
You see, these errors may look minor but think about what would have happened if I had asked you to post these cheques. We would have been in a mess.

Charlotte: I…I am really sorry, sir. It’s just not my best day today.

Mr Adrian: it takes only one bad day to do a permanent damage to a business

Charlotte: I have been having lots of problems in my marriage, sir. I promise this will never happen again.

Mr Adrian: I’ll give you some days off to sort thing out. Take one week.

Charlotte: sir, I am better off coming to work. I don’t need the break. Please?

Mr Adrian: go back to your desk. You are pardoned. Take care.

Charlotte: thank you, sir.

(Charlotte got home at 9pm and met Deric watching the TV but the light was off.)

Deric: how was your day.

Charlotte: good. Why are you in the dark? (Tries to switch on the light)

Deric: the bulb died

Charlotte: why haven’t you replaced it?

Deric: we have no spare

Charlotte: phew! Well, I need a new bulb because I will be working online tonight. Here is two thousand naira, get a bulb with it please. If you can be really fast, that will be great.

Deric: can I have the car keys?

Charlotte: you mean you need a car to go the the corner shop, come on! You actually need the exercise as you are beginning to put on weight

Deric: Well, if I am going to walk, you will not have the bulb as quickly as you asked.

Charlotte: there’s not enough petrol in the car. I’m not letting you waste it. So I can wait!

(Deric was walking to the shop when he heard a female voice call his name. He turned around and saw a lady in a sports outfit running after him)

Chioma: Deric!!! Do you remember me!

Deric: I don’t mean to be rude, but I don’t remember you.

Chioma: did you study at Kings College London?

Deric: I did. Wait a minute, are you Chioma!

Chioma: yes, I am!

Deric: you are joking! Oh my God! Chioma! What are you doing here!

Chioma: you have changed! Look at you! We just moved in last week. We live at number 40

Deric: this is amazing! We live at number 38!

Chioma: wow! You must be married now.

Deric: I am. Tell me you are!

Chioma: with two kids. Hehehe.

Deric: You???

Chioma: yea! yea! My youngest is only 5 months. As you can see, I’m trying to lose my baby weight. I was just coming back from jogging when I saw you! What a small world!

Deric: unbelievable! My uni crush!

Chioma: hahahaha!

To be continued.



Episode three

Charlotte: I can’t wait for break time so I could get myself something to eat.

Nina: are you that hungry?

Charlotte: I am.

Nina: didn’t you have breakfast at home?

Charlotte: Nah. It’s been ages since I last made breakfast at home.

Nina: oh dear! Things must be very bad

Charlotte: I stopped because each time I make breakfast for myself, Deric would descend on it. He’s lazy to make breakfast so I stopped.

Nina: you used to speak highly of him before now. I can’t believe how bad things are between you now. That’s sad.

Charlotte: Since he stopped working, I can’t stand him anymore. I wish I have somewhere else to go at the end of every day.

Nina: book a hotel for at least a week. That might help

Charlotte: I’ll actually think about it. Jaykob offered me a weekend away. I think I might consider it.

Nina: with him or on your own?

Charlotte: on my own. All expense paid!

Nina: take it then.

**Charlotte’s desk telephone rings**

Charlotte: ?hello…. to your office? Alright, coming.(drops the phone)
The manager wants to see me in his office. I’m scared now. I hope I haven’t made another blunder

Nina: you just submitted the proposal he asked you to write, right?

Charlotte: yes and I am really hoping he is happy with it. Anyways, I’m going now.

Nina: good luck

Charlotte: I need it!

(Charlotte got to Mr Adrian office and met him holding the business proposal she submitted to him earlier and she was worried that she may have got something wrong…With sweaty palms and an unsteady voice, she asked…)

Charlotte: you sent for me, sir?

Mr Adrian: yes, I did. Take a seat. Erm, I’ve just gone through the proposal and may I say what an amazing job you did!

Charlotte: phew! Thank you, sir.

Mr Adrian: this is very professionally drafted. Just goes to show that first impressions are not really as important as we think. My first impression of you wasn’t particularly great.

Charlotte: I was having a very bad day on that day, sir.

Mr Adrian: so how are things? Any better?

Charlotte: I’m coping, sir.

Mr Adrian: coping means you’ve come to accept something you shouldnt, because you have no option. Do you really have to?
You always have options but sometimes they are not visible to you or you may need someone else to reveal them to you.

Charlotte: I wish I have any options, sir

Mr Adrian: do you mind if I ask. What exactly is the problem?

Charlotte: it’s my husband, sir. He was made redundant over 5 months ago and I have been the one bearing all the family burdens.
It is putting pressure in our marriage and we are arguing a lot.

Mr Adrian: oh marriage! Is he actively seeking employment then?

Charlotte: yes, he is but no good news yet.

Mr Adrian: what sort of job is he looking for?

Charlotte: he was a bank manager before he was made redundant, so he is looking for a similar role.

Mr Adrian: give him my card; ask him to contact me after 12pm tomorrow. I may have something for him. Not here but in another company

Charlotte: oh thank You, sir. Thank You!

Mr Adrian: you are welcome. So when was the last time you went on a date with your husband?

Charlotte: Oh! Decades ago! Ermmm, it should be on his birthday. That was February last year

Mr Adrian: that’s nearly one year. Why don’t you take him out on a date or even a weekend away. That might calm things a bit.

Charlotte: he is not outgoing and would decline any such offer, sir.

Mr Adrian: That’s no good! Anyway I am new in town as you know and I need to go out this Friday. I’m not sure if you know any nice place I can hang out for a drink or two and perhaps watch some music performance. Any idea?

Charlotte: Erm, yes. There’s quite a lot of such places within.

Mr Adrian: do you mind coming with me? I mean you can bring your husband if he wouldn’t mind. I just need some company.
I am currently not getting on well with Jaykob I would have gone with him.
He is a very dishonest sneaky bastard and I can’t stand him. Pardon my language.

Charlotte: like I said, my husband is an indoor person but I wouldn’t mind going with you.

Mr Adrian: if that doesn’t cause more problems in your home, I would be grateful. Where would you like to be picked up?

Charlotte: by crescent bus stop. Amos knows where that is

Mr Adrian: I’ll be coming with my personal driver. I don’t mix business with pleasure. But not to worry he’ll find it. So see you Friday evening then!

Charlotte: alright, sir. I’ll go back to my office now.

Mr Adrian: sure, thank you.

(As Charlotte was walking back to her office, she bumped into Jaykob)

Jaykob: that must have been an annual meeting, with Mr Adrian, Mrs Deric!

Charlotte: Good morning, Jaykob!

Jaykob: it is certainly a good morning, from the look on your face. Anyways! Do take a look at your phone when you have a minute. I left you a message.

Charlotte: will do. (Walks back to her desk)

Nina: is everything okay?

Charlotte: yes! He said the proposal was excellent!!

Nina: great! Your husband called

Charlotte: the office line?

Nina: yes. He said he’s been trying to reach you through your mobile. He said he left you a message on whatsapp

Charlotte: Oh! Okay. Thanks.

(Charlotte opened her whatsapp and replied her husband’s message as well as Jaykob’s. But unknown to her, she mixed things up and sent the reply that was meant for Jaykob to her husband and vice versa!)

Nina: Jaykob bought us lunch. I’ve already had mine. Yours is under your table.

Charlotte: stingy man! What did he buy?

Nina: mine was some rice and drinks

Charlotte: boring!

Nina: I can have it if you don’t want

Charlotte: I’m hungry

Nina: then be appreciative!

Charlotte: yes ma’am!

(Charlotte got home and met her husband reading reading a newspaper and taking no notice of her presence whatsoever)

Charlotte: guess what?

Deric: I am not good at guessing

Charlotte: you are getting a job Soon!

Deric: I’m assuming that is my compensation for the kiss, huh?

Charlotte: huh? What are you talking about???

Deric: (grabs his phone and starts reading out the message to her)

“You deliberately made me drink more than I should so you could kiss me. If I wasn’t off my face, I would never have kissed you, at least not this Soon! Erase that memory from your head as it may never happen again!”

Charlotte: it was…ermm, I can explain, Nina used my phone….No! She changed my SIM card. I can call her if you want….

To be continued

      
Episode four

Charlotte: Deric, I swear i didn't  send that message! I swear!

Deric: Just look at yourself! You can’t even tell a convincing lie. Do you know What? Call Nina.

Charlotte: (starts ringing Nina )

??????????????

Nina: Hello Charlotte, are you okay?

Charlotte: no! I am not! You’ve put me in trouble

Nina: what are you talking about?

Charlotte: remember when you borrowed my phone today to text your ex, you actually sent the message to my husband!

Nina: wha..

Charlotte: you used my phone to text your boyfriend now I am in trouble because you unknowingly sent the message to my husband and he won’t believe me!

Nina: oh that! Pass him the phone let me talk to him, please

CharlotteSad hands the phone to Deric)

Deric: Hello

Nina: I am truly sorry sir. Your wife can never do a thing like that. I thought I sent the message to my ex who has been bugging me

Deric: you need to be careful next time.

Nina: I am sorry, sir

Deric: no problems. Bye. (Hands the phone back to Charlotte)

Charlotte: I’m not happy about this Nina!!

Nina: sorry o!

Charlotte: Bye! (Quickly sends a text to Nina which reads “you are a life saver” Nina replied “you are an idiot lol”)
?????????

Deric: I’m sorry for accusing you.

Charlotte: isn’t that all you do lately? Tomorrow, we all will be having an office dinner with our new manager, I’m sure you will accuse me of going somewhere else!

Deric: I am not crazy, Charlotte! Of course you can attend your office dinner.

********************************

(It was Friday evening, Charlotte spent well over two hours doing her makeup and trying out different outfits. At around 7.pm, she was all done and ready in her little black dress and near perfect makeup. Her uber cab has just arrived and she met Deric in the living room)

Charlotte: Deric, my cab is here, I’m leaving

Deric: Charlotte that dress is too short!

Charlotte: it isn’t! Please don’t start!

Deric: really? And why did you call an uber when I can drop you and pick you up when the dinner is over?

Charlotte: with which car?

Deric: our car!

Charlotte: well, I don’t have enough petrol. Bye!

(Walks briskly to her cab and they zoomed off. When she got to Crescent bus stop, she found Mr Adrian already waiting with his personal driver in his brand new Silver SUV

He was dressed in a black suit, white inner shirt and black trousers. His hair was meticulously brushed and sprayed like one of those Hollywood actors. He has his cigar inbetween his fingers)

Charlotte: I’m really sorry to have kept you waiting, sir

Mr Adrian: (takes a puff gets off the car, opens and holds the door for her) get inside. Ladies are never late. Whenever they are ready is the right time. We did not plan on wearing black today, did we?

Charlotte: thank You, sir. We sure didn’t but it’s not a bad idea at all.

Mr Adrian: not at all. Well, this gentleman knows somewhere nice that we can go, so you don’t have to worry yourself about showing him what way to go. It would feel as if you are taking me out for a dinner and that is not so great on my ego.

Charlotte: that’s not a problem, sir.

Mr Adrian: tonight, It will be great if you call me by my name. It’s a bit awkward going on a date with someone and they keep calling you sir

Charlotte: alright, sir.

Mr Adrian: and she did it again. Anyway, keep trying. No pressure

Charlotte: oh! Sorry, Mr Adrian.

(They finally arrived at a very posh club with live music performance, disco lights and one does not need to be told that you need to be earning in millions to be able to go there. The car park looked like some sort of competition on whose car was the most expensive and newest. There was a heavy security presence from the entrance right through the bar.

Mr Adrain went straight to the receptionist and from his debit card, paid the sum of 800, 000 thousand naira and was shown to his space by one of the waiters. His space was a private corner with a table full of assorted kinds of expensive wines and a pole dancer was already leaning against the pole, waiting on Mr Adrian to ask her to start)

Mr Adrian: Monday, you may join the others in the hall. Come back to us at 12.30. Thanks. If you need more money, let me know but keep an eye on your limits, remember, you are driving.

Monday: sure, sir. Thank you.

Mr Adrian: (turns to the pole dancer) you may start. Thank you.

Charlotte: this is a very nice place.

Mr Adrian: I’m glad you like it. Well, I expected your husband’s call but he never called.

Charlotte: phewww! Deric is just some kind of man. He might still call

Mr Adrian: if you say so. So, how long have you been dating Jaykob? (Pours her some champagne)

Charlotte: (takes the glass from him) Thanks. I am not dating Jaykob. He is only trying his luck.

Mr Adrian: how long has he tried and has he had any breakthrough yet? This lady is great at what she does (referring to the pole dancer)

Charlotte: yes, she’s good. Jaykob has not had any breakthrough yet, except making my work life difficult as I have to face him every day.

Mr Adrian: that is not happening any more. His transfer letter is ready. I’m sending him to our Lagos branch. I need you to focus and help me take this company to the next level.

Charlotte: I’ll do my best.

Mr Adrian: so how’s your marriage?

Charlotte: warm enough to melt my butter, but not hot enough to boil my egg.

Mr Adrian: that’s complex. Break it down

Charlotte: it’s not so bad, but it’s not great either. How’s your wife?

Mr Adrian: the question should be, do I have one. Well I was married but we divorced.

Charlotte: mind if I ask why?

Mr Adrian: she is in prison.

Charlotte: what for?

Mr Adrian: she has an unhealthy interest in minors…

…to be continued


      
 Episode five

Charlotte: Deric, did you call the number I gave you yet?

Deric: no.

Charlotte: does this mean you are getting used to staying at home or having your bills paid by me or both??
Why don’t you want to work???

Deric: I’ll work when I find myself a job. This conversation is over.

Charlotte: this conversation is not over!! I am having it up to here, Deric and if this carries on, I will be left with no option than to tell your parents and mine!

Deric: very well then! My dad knows and will tell you that being the man that i am, I will not take a job given to me by another man who is likely trying to win my wife over!
Hey! We have some class. Can’t certainly say that of You!

Charlotte: What are you trying to say, Deric???

Deric: exactly what you heard. I am sick and tired of your endless moaning just because I lost my job a few months ago.
(Raises his voice) a few months ago, Charlotte!!!! And let’s not forget this is a man who saw you through the university and paid your damn bills for five flipping years!!!

Charlotte: Deric, stop shouting! Just stop!!!!

Deric: don’t you bloody tell me what to do! Don’t start treating me like your child. Hey! You are yet to give me one after 3 and a half years of being married to you.
A coursemate of mine who got married two years ago, has two kids now. As a matter of fact, she recently moved into this estate.

Charlotte: (tearfully) your best line lately, isn’t it!!! What else have you got?

Deric: no darling, I have more. How about you go into the bedroom and see the flower and lingerie that was delivered to you this morning, by one of your numerous bed mates?
Awwww! It was from Nina, wasn’t it?….My mouthed wife has suddenly gone quiet. No! Let me guess where it is from! Ermmm! Yesssss! The company is giving out underwears to all their female staff!

Charlotte: wha-t..What are you talking about?

Deric: why don’t you go inside and find out yourself? I’m sure you can still use those legs, my beautiful wife!

(Charlotte went into the bedroom, and found a single rose, a card and a set of Victoria’s Secret underwears. Deric had opened and read the content of the card which says “thinking of you always” And although the sender did not include his name in the card, Charlotte knew it was from Jaykob)

Charlotte: I have no idea where these are from. I am not cheating, Deric! I haven’t and I won’t! You are making my life difficult with this constant argument?

Deric: awwww! Isn’t she sweet! The minute you catch her, she quickly swings into her cry baby and frustrated wife mood! I’m sure a ghost who divinely got your address and underwear size sent those items.
By the way, I took pictures of them. I might just need it some day!

Charlotte: I can’t spend one more minute under this roof! I Can’t! Been at work all day and now I can’t even have some peace and quiet because the man I married wouldn’t let me! I’m out!
(Picks up the car keys and ran out)

Deric: Bye Felicia?

(Charlotte lodged in a hotel not far away from his work place and after she had her shower she remembered she had no clothes to wear to work the next day, so she started calling Nina)

Nina:???hello, girlfriend

Charlotte: (snivelling) Nina, can you do me a favour and come to work at 6 o’clock tomorrow. Get me any of your dress, please?

Charlotte: no he didn’t

Nina: have you had anything to eat?

Nina: I’ll see you tomorrow at six. Do you need underwears and toothbrush and my makeup box?

Charlotte: yes, please.

Nina: I love you.

THE BrideGLOOM. Episode 6

Nina: do you even realise the damage you are doing to her marriage???

Jaykob: When did buying a woman I love some gifts, become damaging?

Nina: the woman you love is another man’s wife!

Jaykob: oh come off it! Is this seriously the reason you summoned me? I love Charlotte and I will keep expressing my love for her in words and in action. You have never been in love before hence your inability to appreciate one when you see it.

Nina: do you realise she’s left her husband’s house because of the stupid and unnecessary present you sent to her?

Jaykob: where is She now? She needs me now more than ever.

Nina: fool! (Walks out of the bar angrily)
**************************************************

Deric:?????? hello Chioma, sorry I missed your call

Chioma: hi Deric…can you hear me? Hello… are you there?

Deric: it’s rather too noisy where you are. I’m struggling to hear you

Chioma: yeah! That’s because I’m driving.

Deric: where to?

Chioma: I’m going to pick my husband up from the airport. He’s been away for the past two weeks and I and the kids miss him so much.

Deric: hmmmm! Happy home, I suppose.

Chioma: I can’t complain at all. I was wondering if you would like to come over for dinner at ours. I organised him a little welcome party. Nothing too loud. Just friends and family.

Deric: ermmm…

Chioma: pleaseeeee Deric! You need to meet my husband too!

Deric: What time is it?

Chioma: six o’clock. But you can come earlier but not later. Hehehe

Deric: I’ll try.

Chioma: I’ll be waiting. Bye now!

(Deric was about leaving the house when Nina and Charlotte walked into the house.
Charlotte had visible lost weight and had dark circles around her eyes. You know our eyes have a way of telling the entire world that we are sleep-deprived?)

Nina: Good evening, Deric. My name is Nina

Deric: I’m aware.

Nina: is it okay if I have a word with you, please?

Deric: as you can see, I am on my way out.

Nina: I promise not to take more than 10 minutes

Deric: I do not have a minute to spare. Sorry. (Walks out and slammed the door after him)

Charlotte: this is my life, Nina! I told you Deric is full of himself! God! How did I get myself into this!

Nina: hmmm! I need to stop complaining of being single. If this is what marriage is like, I think I’ll go without. What an arrogant man!
********************************************
(AT CHIOMA’S RESIDENCE)

Mr Ambrose was seated on the sofa, carrying his two beautiful daughters, one on each leg and answering endless questions from them, when the doorbell rang)

Mr Ambrose: sweetheart, I think someone is at the door.

Chioma: it must be Deric!( goes to open the door) yeaaa! Here comes the long awaited Deric!

Deric: by the start time, I am early hello madam, Chioma.

Chioma: hahaha! Come in and stop with the drama!?

Deric: (Walks to Mr Ambrose and shakes his hands) good evening, sir. My name is Deric.

Mr Ambrose: hello, Deric! Chioma has told me a lot about you. It’s good to finally meet you. You are welcome my brother.

Deric: thank you, sir.

Tatiana: daddy, mummy didn’t take me to my swimming lesson on Saturday.

Mr Ambrose: mummy, why?

Chioma: Tatiana, time to go to nanny. Daddy has a visitor.

Tatiana: nooo!!?

Chioma: Kate! Kate!!!

Kate: Yes, madam!

Chioma: please, come and take the kids. They need to leave my husband alone now.

Tatiana: ??????

Mr Ambrose: it’s alright, mummy. Stop crying. Daddy will watch cartoon with you all night and find out why mummy didn’t take you to your swimming lesson over the weekend, alright?

Chioma: what would you like to drink, Deric?

Deric: could I please use the toilet first?

Chioma: sure! Come with me upstairs, we have no bathroom downstairs. One thing I dislike about this house. Darling, Go and change before our guests start coming.

Mr Ambrose: alright, as your majesty wishes

Deric: you have a really nice place, sir.

Mr Ambrose: thank you, my brother.

(Deric followed Chioma upstairs and as they were climbing the staircase, Deric stopped..)

Deric: Chioma?

Chioma: Yes! Are you, okay?

Deric: maybe… I am just jealous of your home

Chioma: I am sure yours is better?

Deric: I wish. Memories of yesterday are drowning me. You haven’t changed one bit neither has my feelings for you. I just realised.

Chioma: some things never die, but we must keep it inactive, Deric! Here is the restroom?

Deric: Chioma, you are still as sexy and attractive as you were the first day we went on a date.

ChiomaConfusedhuuuush! I am a married woman, Deric! Respect my sagged breasts??

Deric: maybe I need to see them before I can comment on that.

Chioma: joker!

Deric: for once, I am serious. So very serious.

Chioma: you know what? We need to meet up and talk. Why do I feel you are unhappy in your marriage

Deric: because when I gave you my heart, I forgot to take it back before you got married. You have that power over me.

Chioma: When are you free for a…

Mr Ambrose: sweetheart!!

Chioma: Yes, husband!

Mr Ambrose: mama is on the phone for you!

Chioma: oh! Coming!!! (Runs downstairs?‍

…To be Continued.






 THE brideGLOOM. Episode seven

It is 5am in the morning, Chioma and her husband are in bed having a conversation about everything and anything. Chioma told him about some of the funny questions the kids asked while he was away, They discussed their family’s business and Mr Ambrose told him in details the high and lows of his journey as well as his plans to take the family abroad for Easter Holidays.

Mr Ambrose: something I forgot to ask you. What does your friend do?

Chioma: you mean Deric?

Mr Ambrose: Yes. I forgot to ask

Chioma: he was my classmate and actually went ahead to become a bank manager. But he was recently made redundant. He is currently out of employment.

Mr Ambrose: You Know, I feel bad whenever I learn that a man lost his job.

Chioma: and a woman?

Mr Ambrose: not as bad. Sweetheart, there is an expectation on a man to look after his home financially. Such expectation is not so much on a woman. The thought of telling Tatiana that she cannot have her Coco Pods today because there is no money, scares me.
I pray he find a job really soon

Chioma: I think it is starting to have an ugly impact on his marriage.

Mr Ambrose: It shakes every corner of the individual’s life.
Why don’t you ask him to come and see me during the weekend. We could fix him somewhere in our real estate department. Of course we won’t pay him as much as he earned when he was a manager.

Chioma: awww! That will be really helpful! I’ll let him know.

Mr Ambrose: Okay! Enough about other people. Let’s talk about us. How much did you miss me?

Chioma: oh! Don’t ask. At some point, I started taking out the frustration on the kids unknowingly. Every little thing made me cry.

Mr Ambrose: (holds her close to his chest) I missed you even more. The video calls were not enough. I couldn’t wait to come back to my baby. I missed watching you fall asleep in my arms and when you did last night, it felt like rain in the desert.
I don’t intend to be away from you this long again

Chioma: promise?

Mr Ambrose: cross my heart.

Chioma: I love you

Mr Ambrose: I love you too, baby???????

Rossy: ?‍️?‍️?‍️?‍️?‍️?‍️
**************************************************

(Charlotte woke up, looked at the clock and jumped off the bed into the shower and hurriedly got ready for work. When she came into the living room on her way out, she saw Deric looking into some files)

Charlotte: Deric, you didn’t even bother to wake me up knowing I am working!

Deric: When your alarm rang and you didn’t wake up, I assumed you were off today.

Charlotte: puffffff! I am hardly off work and you know it! Anyway, I am running late. There is some stew in the fridge. You may want to boil some rice and have it for lunch.
I’ll go to the market and buy some food items for tomorrow.

Deric: I tried using your iPhone earlier on and discovered you had put a password on it. Is there any explanation for that?

Charlotte: it’s just that I discovered that people were getting into my phone when I leave it on my desk at work. That’s all.

Deric: you are Such a bad liar, Charlotte! You are! So why didn’t you password your Samsung?

Charlotte: Deric I am running late for work! I don’t have to go to work miserable every day! I am tired of the constant argument and….

Deric: (loudly) and I am more tired of your infidelity!!!

Charlotte: what infidelity are you talking about!

Deric: you will find out Soon!

Charlotte: please! I’m off!

(Charlotte got to work in a rush and Nina told her that Mr Adrian had wanted her to write some proposals for him and was not happy that she wasn’t here. So she quickly went into his office)

Charlotte: Good morning, Mr Adrian.

Mr Adrian: you are one hour late for work, Charlotte. That is very unacceptable. May I know Why?

Charlotte: I am very sorry. I had a little hitch. My husband acc…

Mr Adrian (interrupts) Charlotte, when it has to do with family, you don’t have to give details. That you had a hitch was suffient.
I wanted you to write me a proposal. I have just sent you an email. It contains the details of what I want you to cover in the proposal.

Charlotte: alright. Thank you. Auch!

Mr Adrian: are you Okay?

Charlotte: no. I’ve got waist pain and headache

Mr Adrian: I have paracetamol. Would you like some?

Charlotte: yes, please.

Mr Adrian: (gives her two paracetamol tablets) could you please ask Jaykob to come to my office. Thank you.

Charlotte: alright.

(Charlotte went into Jaykob’s office and met him watching a movie on his work PC)

Charlotte: you are working so hard, ain’t You?

Jaykob: well, at least I came to work early. You look as sexy as you looked in my dreams last night. Come and sit on my laps.
Don’t worry nobody is coming in

Charlotte: you are disgusting and your attitude to work is nothing to write home about!

Jaykob: the same attitude got me to the position of an assistant manager. A position you may never get to, until you retire.

Charlotte: I do not have your time yet. Anyway, Mr Adrian would like to see you!?‍️?‍️?‍️

Jaykob: alright, my lovely! (Gets up and goes to Mr Adrian’s office)

Jaykob: you sent for me, sir?

Mr Adrian: I did. Take a seat.

Jaykob: thanks (sits down)

Mr Adrian: ermm, I am making some changes here and there. One of those changes is going to affect you. I need you to relocate to our Lagos branch.
I don’t necessarily need an assistant here. Our Lagos branch is busier and would greatly benefit from having you there.

Jaykob: I am sorry sir, but I am not okay with this. My children are in school, my wife has a job here in Abuja and you want me to move. I am not happy to move!

Mr Adrian: this company has a procedure for challenging any decision you think is unfair. Use that procedure but until then, this is your transfer letter.

Jaykob: (voice raised) there is no way you can come in and decide to move me for such a flimsy excuse! I will fight this to the end. It is maliciously motivated. I will go to court if I have to.

Mr Adrian: can I ask you to leave my office now, please. Thank you.

Jaykob: yes! I will leave but I will certainly take this up!

Mr Adrian: sure.

Kate: firstly, I will take them to their hairdresser to have their hair done and after that, I’ll take them to their Art class. Then if Tatiana would like to Go for her dancing class, I’ll take her there. That’s all we have to do today.

Chioma: can they have their hair done tomorrow instead? I and their dad would like to take them to the zoo. It’s been long since we went out together.

Kate: Yes, it can. I just need to call their hairdresser to change the appointment.

Chioma: please do.

Kate: so what will I be doing at home?

Chioma: you did all the Lundry yesterday, didn’t you? So have a rest. Go out, may be to the cinema or whatever tickles your fancy.
Come on! you deserve a break from Tatiana’s endless demands.

Kate: thank You, madam. Yesterday, she said she wanted a big elephant ??

Chioma: ??? I know! She has been saying that to us. That’s why we decided to take them to the zoo so she can see the real ones. Apparently, she wants to be an elephant when she grows up????????

Kate: hahahaha!!!???

Chioma: erm, my husband has asked me to tell you that we will be increasing your salary beginning from the end of the month.
Instead of fifty thousand naira, you will be receiving sixty five.

Kate: oh madam! Thank you! Your family has been so good to me. Please, can I go and say thank you to Mr Ambrose?

Chioma: he is still fast asleep. I would leave it until he is awake.

Kate: thank you so much!

Chioma: you are welcome (grabs her phone and started ringing Deric.???????)

Deric: ???? hello madam.

Chioma: how are You! Sorry I haven’t been able to call since then to thank you for honouring our invitation. It was really nice having you around

Deric: no worries at all. It was a great party. The food was excellent. I enjoyed myself. Thank You!

Chioma: awww glad to know. You don’t sound particularly happy. Everything alright?

Deric: No, Chioma. My whole life is just shutting down by the minute! I’m bloody tired of being like this. I want to pull out!

Chioma: where are you pulling out to? Stand up to life until it gets tired of trying to pull you down

Deric: I’m down already. I have been down for so long. I got a letter from the bank where I took some loan for a bad business I did last year, threatening to sell my house if I did not pay up by the end of March.

Chioma: what’s the pay back arrangement?

Deric: I pay one hundred thousand every month, but I haven’t been able to make any payments since November last year.

Chioma: that’s three hundred thousand outstanding, yeah?

Deric: Yes.

Chioma: meet me in front of your house in the next fifteen minutes; I’ll give it to you.

Deric: You are joking right?

Chioma: see you in fifteen minutes, Deric. Bye!
??????????????????

(Chioma went back Into the bedroom and found the husband watching to the news in bed)

Chioma: Good morning, my dear.

Mr Ambrose: Good morning, love. When did you get up?

Chioma: When my mummy instinct told me to check up on the girls. And yes, Tatiana looked as it she was practicing some yoga pose???

Mr Ambrose: oh dear! We can’t really do much about her rough sleeping position. Can We?

Chioma: well, not at this stage. I tried to use her big teddy to stop her, but when she swings in the mood, she kicks the damn thing away??

Mr Ambrose: actually, my mother did say I was like that when we were growing up. I used to kick my brothers out of the bed to create more space for my moves???

Chioma: there you Go! The Apple Apple tree and the Apple fruit???? anyway, I am going for my 30 minutes run.

Mr Ambrose: my dear, are you sure you don’t want me to get you a personal trainer instead of being out in the street every morning.
People are evil you know? Not praying for anything but you can be easily traced.

Chioma: this estate is considerable safe. But I’ll think about it today.

Mr Ambrose: please do.

Chioma: I’m off now!

Mr Ambrose: careful!

(When Chioma got to Deric’s block, he was already waiting at the gate.)

Deric: hey beautiful! That body is banging!

Chioma: of course I have to stay fit and healthy for my family.

Deric: great job!

Chioma: (hands him a cheque of three hundred and fifty thousand naira) here! Pay your debt and be happy. My husband would also like to see you at your convenience.

Deric: Chioma, you don’t know what this means to me. You just saved my life!

Chioma: what are friends for?

Deric: please permit me to give you a hug.

Chioma: awww! Of course! (Hugs him briefly and ran off!)

(Deric went back to the house and saw Charlotte in the living room with her mobile phone in her hand)

Deric: are you not going to work?

Charlotte: (holds her phone up in front of him) who is she?

Deric: you took a picture of us? That’s Chioma, an old friend.

Charlotte: I see! I guess it wouldn’t be bad to show her husband this image.

Deric: you will do no such thing! Come on! this girl was only helping me! She gave me a cheque to pay my debt.
There is nothing going on between us and you must believe that!!

Charlotte: I see! She gives you her husband’s money too!

Deric: don’t be ridiculous! Stop it, Charlotte!!

Charlotte: I am not stopping it, Deric!!!! It is not enough that you sit at home all day while I bleed sweat, water and blood to pay the rents and put food on your table, now you have added cheating to the routine, right????

Deric: (raises his hands to hit her but hangs it in the air) one more of that, And I will send you to your early grave!
( in a low but firm tone) one more!

Charlotte: I dare you to put those stupid hands on me! Every single day of my life you accuse me of infidelity. Not knowing it’s your way to mask yours! Ungrateful egocentric man! Touch me and rot in jail!

Deric: (grabs the key and leaves)

Charlotte: don’t touch my car! Deric!! Deric!!! Deric do not go anywhere with my car.

Deric: (stops but without turning around) the car I bought you on the 12th day of December 2016. Get that right! (Jumps into the car and zooms off)

Charlotte: Deric!!! Deric!!!! Deric, I need that car to go to the hospital!! Deric!!!!????

 THE BrideGLOOM. Episode 9

Deric came back and pleaded with Charlotte to delete the pictures as there is nothing going on between him and Chioma.
After much ado, She deleted them right in front of Deric and promised never to tell chioma’s husband about it.
However, she had earlier sent the images to her email and Deric was unaware of this.

Deric made the payment to the bank, and promised to take her out for dinner later in the evening.
Having been feeling a little under the weather, she decided to call off sick at 5am this morning.

Charlotte : (????????)

Deric: who are you ringing?

Charlotte : my manager. Oh! Hello, Mr Adrian. Good morning and sorry to wake you up

Mr Adrian: is everything okay with you?

Charlotte: Yes. Well, not really.

Mr Adrian: what’s the matter?

Charlotte: I don’t feel well at all so I can’t come to work today.

Mr Adrian: that’s absolutely fine. Do you want me to send the company’s driver to take you to the hospital?

Charlotte: no, my husband will do so this morning. Thanks.

Mr Adrian: brilliant! then don’t worry about work until you are back on your feet. Doesn’t matter how long it takes

Charlotte: Thanks. I’ll be back tomorrow. Hopefully.

Mr Adrian: take care of yourself. Bye.

Chioma: bye!
?????????????

(At 9am Chioma got ready and told Deric that she was going to the hospital. Deric offered to drop him but she declined with reasons that she would go to the salon after and Deric does not like waiting around the salon. He thinks the salon environment is too “womanish ” (whatever that means)

She got into the car, using her hands-free, she started calling Nina as she drove off)

Nina: (???) You kept me waiting!

Charlotte: I’m sorry, you know I had to be a bit slow to match my claims of being unwell. But I am on my way.

Nina: did you get the address of his company?

Charlotte: Yes. But I am not sure we would be let in. I did look it up on the internet and their security is one of the best. Apparently, you cannot see him without an appointment

Nina: let’s try first! Please don’t start with this weakling attitude of yours!

Charlotte: I’ll see you in 10 minutes

Nina: Bye!
?????????????????

(Charlotte picked Nina up and they made their way to Mr Ambrose’s company and straight to the reception )

Charlotte: Good morning. My name is Peru, can I see Mr Ambrose, please?

Receptionist: good morning. May I see your appointment letter, Please?

Charlotte: I do not have one. But I have an important message for him. A very important message.

Receptionist: I’m afraid madam, we cannot let you in without an appointment letter. Sorry

Nina: (loudly) we are telling you that your manager’s life is at stake and you are more concerned with policies and procedures??? What kind of a receptionist are You!!!
This is insane!
We are reputable ladies just doing this for our love for the family unit!
We run a charity that is channelled towards restoring peace and harmony to the family unit.

Receptionist: it doesn’t matter. I will not let you in without an appointment letter. Not even at gun point.
If you are all you claim, common sense would have told you to book an appointment prior! If you found your way down here, you can find us on the internet.
If you wish to pick up one of our cards, feel free to do so and book an appointment for the next available date! (Telephone rings)

Receptionist: hello, sir

Mr Ambrose: I can see two ladies through the CCTV. What do they want and what are they arguing about?

Receptionist: they are here to see you with no appointment letters. They claim they are here with an important message for you.

Mr Ambrose: get them to go through security and let them in. One at a time.

Receptionist: alright, sir.

(Charlotte and Nina went through security checks and Charlotte was allowed to go in first while Nina waited at the reception)

Mr Ambrose: Good morning, young lady. How may I help You?

Charlotte: I think the question should be, how may I help You?. You see, We are from a charity called ‘Save The Family Unit’ and we have discovered that your family is about to crumble and we want to work with you to avert that.

Mr Ambrose: I would appreciate if you go straight to the point as I do not have the time to chase you around the bush as you beat about the bush.
You have two minutes. Use it!

Charlotte: your wife is cheating on you, with someone he claims was his classmate in London.

Mr Ambrose: anything else you have to say? You have one minute.

Charlotte: We have pictures here. Would you like to see them?

Mr Ambrose: no thanks. That should be it. You may now leave.

Charlotte: don’t you want to see the pictures?

Mr Ambrose: I was clear enough when I said No! Get out or I get someone to assist you out!

Charlotte: well, then!

 THE brideGLOOM. Episode 10

Chioma: welcome, darling. How was today?

Mr Ambrose: it wasn’t so bad. How was yours?

Chioma: it was fine. I tidied up the kids wardrobes. Lots of clothes they have outgrown.

Mr Ambrose: they need to be sent to charity for children who might benefit from them. Tatiana has more clothes than any child I know. She doesn’t need it.
How are they?

Chioma: they fine. Sleeping upstairs .

Mr Ambrose: and their nanny?

Chioma: she is asleep too. Would you like to eat or shower first?

Mr Ambrose: neither, at the moment. Erm, I rang my mum and asked if the kids could spend the weekend with her and she was excited. Is that okay by you?

Chioma: yeah! Yeah. I need a break anyway.

Mr Ambrose: I feel we need some time together to talk about a few things away from the kids. We haven’t been out alone since I returned. That’s not what I promised you. Is it?

Chioma: I understand

Tatiana: daddy!!! Daddy!

Mr Ambrose: oh dear! Mummy, you must not run down the stairs! Now stop there and I’ll come get you. Stop!…That’s my girl!
Sweetie, I thought you said she was asleep! (Goes upstairs and carries her down)

Chioma: well, as far as I am aware, she was asleep. Probably heard your voice and woke up

Mr Ambrose: why did you wake up, Mummy?

Tatiana: because nanny was snoring! And I woke up and I saw you!

Chioma/Ambrose: ????????

Mr Ambrose: you didn’t see me, because I was downstairs. Did you hear my voice?

Tatiana: yes! Yes I ‘hiad ‘ your voice

Mr Ambrose: you HEARD my voice. Shall we say that correctly?

Tatiana: I heard your voice

Mr Ambrose: excellent! Mummy, Would you like to spend the weekend at grandma’s?

Tatiana: grandma Seline?

Mr Ambrose: Yes. Who is grandma Seline’ s husband?

Tatiana: I know!!! Grandpa Ambrose!!!!!??

Mr Ambrose: why do you like going to grandma and grandpa’s house?

Tatiana: because grandma has a big garden and let’s me play with the mud!! And Mr thief don’t come to grandma’s house because grandpa has a gun!!

Mr Ambrose: but I told you that Mr thief can’t come here. This is a new place. Mr thief only comes to the old house. Do you want me to buy a gun?

Tatiana: I don’t like Mr thief. I like elephants and cocopods and…..and

Mr Ambrose: and me?

Tatiana: no! And….and…

Mr Ambrose: you don’t love me?

Tatiana: I love you daddy!!!!

Mr Ambrose: I love you too, my angel!

Chioma: it never ends, does it! These two. Dear husband, you need to eat now.

Mr Ambrose: alright…

Chioma: mummy, we are giving some of your old clothes to children who do not have clothes to wear. Is that alright?

Tatiana: why can’t their mummy and daddy buy them clothes?

Chioma: some of them don’t have mummies and daddies. That’s why

Tatiana: Mr thief killed their daddy?

Chioma: ermm, yes and some just died. People die for many reasons not just Mr thief

Tatiana: but when they die they go to heaven and buy them loadsssss of ice cream. Mummy when are you going to heaven?

Mr Ambrose: ?????

Chioma: not anytime soon! Now let’s go upstairs. Daddy needs to eat. Mr Ambrose, your daughter is asking when I am dying and you are laughing right? Time to go to my own daddy’s house

Mr Ambrose: hahahaha! She’s only a child. Her innocence is beautiful!

Tatiana: I’m telling you!?????
**************************************************

CharlotteSad ??????) Nina, I am honestly tired of being home on weekends with Deric and his constant bickering. I need a new hobby.

Nina: (????) Is he home? I can come over

Charlotte: no. He went to Lagos to come back tomorrow. Please come over let’s hang out.

Nina: didn’t you do a bit of pole dancing when you were in London? Why don’t you pick that up again!

Charlotte: Oh my goodness! That is actually true! I wanna get back to pole dancing and it keeps you fit!

Nina: at least on weekends, you can dance in clubs and they pay really good money. A friend of mine who does it says she gets paid 150k per performance and you need to see the car she drives! Solid!

Charlotte: can you link me up with her Please? Does she go different places or works for one club?

Nina: she travels around the country. But you can choose to work for a specific pub.

Charlotte: yea, obviously, with Deric and his insecurity, I have to lie every day I have a performance. So I can’t travel that far.

Nina: I’m gonna have a quick shower and come over, so we can go see her

Charlotte: fantastic! Babe, I can’t believe that man declined to see the picture and to comment on what we told him!

Nina: if I ever get married in life, I want a man like him! In fact, I have been thinking on trying my luck on him?. Afterall he didn’t see my face so he wouldn’t suspect a thing?

Charlotte: do you think such a man would take any notice of another woman? Seems to be committed to his marital vows. I wish!!!

User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-26-2018, 01:00 PM - No Replies

Quote:Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday vowed to return the South West states to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) if elected president in the forthcoming general elections in 2019.

Atiku, a presidential aspirant of the PDP, made this promise when he visited members and delegates of Oyo state ahead of the forthcoming presidential primary election of the party.

The former Vice President was welcomed to the Oke-Ado PDP state secretariat by the two gubernatorial aspirants of the party, Mr. Seyi Makinde and Senator Ayo Adeseun, a former Deputy governor, Alhaji Azeem Gbolarumi, Elder Wole Oyelese, Alhaja Bose Adedibu, Senator Kamoru Adedibu and Dr. Saka Balogun.

Other bigwigs that welcomed Atiku were Chief Robert Koleoso, Senator Hosea Ayoola Agboola, Chief Jacob Adetoro, Taiwo Oluyemi, Muraina Ajibola and the State Secretary, Alhaji Wasiu Adeleke.

Recalling how he worked with others as the Vice President in 2003 to take over all the South West states with the exception of Lagos from the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Atiku assured the zone of greater participation in the PDP government at the centre.

He then urged members of the party to put their differences aside and forge ahead in unity for the party to win Oyo state in the next general election.

Atiku who was accompanied by his Director General of his campaign, Otunba Gbenga Daniel further urged members of the party to work for the interest of the party at all times for them to reclaim the state and the federal government.

Atiku while speaking further described Oyo state as the political headquarters of the South West region which should not be toyed with.

He said, “Oyo is the political headquarters of South West. The people of Oyo state, so let us work together. Let us work for the unity of the party; by the grace of God, we will have PDP in government in 2019 in Oyo state and Nigeria.”

  Micheno Multipurpose Cooperative Society, MMCS Defrauds Calabar Customers N27bn
User Avatar Forum: Other Stories
Posted by: Edoman - 09-26-2018, 12:57 PM - No Replies

A wonder bank in Calabar has allegedly defrauded unsuspecting customers to the tune of N27 billion, after the operators bolted with their deposits in Cross River State.

The bank, operating under the name Micheno Multipurpose Cooperative Society, MMCS, reportedly succeeded in defrauding over 13,000 people who trusted them with their money.

The scheme owned and operated by one Michael Eke, had promised depositors of N100,000 an additional N50,000 at the end of 40 days, and those who deposit N150,000 would get N300,000 at the same period, Vanguard reports. A deposit of N1 million would earn a N500,000 profit at the end of the same period while deposits above N1 million would be calculated in N1 million units.

The scheme berthed in Calabar in June 2018 had been attracting patronage from Cross River state residents. Some of the depositors parted with their life savings and others deposited their gratuities, which run into millions, with the hope of reaping bountifully at the end of 40 days.

However, at the end of the 40 days, some depositors got only a small part of their deposits sent back to them, while over 13,000 others did not get anything and have since not heard from the operators of the bank in the past one month. Their office in Calabar has remained shut since then.

The scheme started as a Swiss marketing company on WhatsApp and in less than one month, the groups grew to about 36 all providing information on the benefits of joining the scheme and attracted a lot of people.

A victim, Edna Nzegu, said:

I have N33 million stocks with the scheme. It may not be much compared to what others have but this has destabilised my life and turned me to mad woman with no bearing and I have lost interest in life and work.

Some of the depositors accused a Calabar-based comedian, MC Mbakara, of conniving with Mr Eke to fleece them of their money by promoting the scheme on his WhatsApp thread and website, which persuaded them to believe that the scheme was genuine and he has since gone into hiding.

Speaking from his hideout, Mbakara said he was not part of the company even when he was appointed vice president of the scheme by Eke.

He said:

I have been accused of so many things I am not aware of. I am not on the run and not hiding. My phone lines have been open and I am very available.

He added he was only a brand ambassador whose following on and offline was used by Eke to drive an aggressive campaign that brought a lot of depositors to the scheme.

Cross River Police Command spokesperson, Ms Irne Ugbo, said reports had been made by some depositors of the scheme and investigation is ongoing "to unravel what the scheme is about and what actually happened to the depositors' funds."

  Anger As FG Recalls N14.9bn Paris Club Refund From Benue
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-26-2018, 12:23 PM - No Replies

Quote:John Charles, Makurdi



Hundreds of workers in Benue State on Tuesday expressed shock over the alleged recall of the final tranche of the Paris Club refund earlier paid to the state government .
Two workers were alleged to have slumped as they received the news of the recall of the Paris Club refund .

Governor Samuel Ortom had last Thursday confirmed the receipt of N 14. 9 bn Paris Club refund .

Also on Monday , the governor directed the state ministry of finance to commence the payment of workers’ salary arrears and allowances to pensioners .

The state civil servants are owed seven months ’ salary arrears while local government workers are being owed 11 months ’ salaries .

But some of the workers , who reacted to the recall of the Paris Club refund on condition of anonymity , accused the Federal Government of deliberate attempt to kill workers in the state .

“ Since the governor directed the immediate payment of workers ’ arrears on Monday , we thought we would begin to receive alerts from this (Tuesday) evening only for us to hear the recall of the money .

“ I was told that two workers slumped immediately they heard about the recall of the Paris Club refund by the Federal Government but they were later revived . ”
Another worker , who spoke to our correspondent , said , “This is unfair .

Having raised our hope, this (Federal) Government has dashed our hope.

“I have promised those I owed that I would pay part of the debt on Wednesday ; I have also planned to use part of the money to buy books for my children and pay their school fees . ”

The Benue State Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress , Godwin Anya , expressed shock over the development .
He said , “ I don’ t know the reason for the recall of the Paris Club loan refund .

Everybody has been expecting to be paid because the governor on Monday directed the payment of salary arrears .

“ I don’ t know the reason for that nonsense ; I don’ t know where this country is heading to . ”

Also reacting to the recall of the Paris Club refund , the Special Adviser to Governor Samuel Ortom on Media and ICT, Tahav Agerzua , described it as a “ trajectory of victimisation. ”

Agerzua said it was strange in accounting parlance to pay money into somebody’ s or government ’ s account and suddenly withdraw it , describing it as another form of impunity by the All Progressives Congress Federal Government .

“ This is not a gift. It is a legitimate right of the government . This is part of a series of moves aimed at subjugating the people . This action has shown clearly that the APC cannot protect the people , ” he said .

Tahav further observed that the issue had been politicised , stressing that it was an act of desperation as a result of the party ’ s failure in the Osun governorship election .

“ There is serious anger in the land as a result of recalling of the Paris Club refund by the Federal Government . The people now know who their enemies and oppressors are.

“ Benue people should rise up and vote out the APC government , ” Tahav said .

When contacted , the Director of Information in the Ministry of Finance, Hassan Dodo , said he could not comment on the matter as he did not have any information relating to the development .
He asked our reporter to write a letter to the finance minister to seek a clarification on the issue.

Meanwhile , the convener of the Middle Belt Movement for Justice and Peace , Joe Bukka , on Tuesday , described the decision of the Federal Government to recall the Paris Club refunds paid to Benue and four other states as “ the height of impunity , executive recklessness and a witch - hunt against ordinary Nigerians. ”

Apart from Benue , some of the other affected states were Delta , Imo , Benue and Rivers .

Speaking in Makurdi , Bukka insisted that the Federal Government had embarked on a systematic witch - hunt of some state governments probably for political reasons at the detriment of the ordinary Nigerian and civil servants .

He said , “ In the first place, it is not the responsibility of the Federal Government to monitor how states disburse and utilise their funds . Moreover , the Paris Club refund was only warehoused by the Federal Government on behalf of the states ; it is not a gratification or loan .

“ So , the Federal Government lacks the powers to recall the money which belongs to the state from the onset . As far as we are concerned , this is the height of impunity , executive recklessness and a witch - hunt against the ordinary Nigerians who were expecting to get the backlog of their salaries from the fund .

“ We just wonder if this Federal Government has the interest of the ordinary people at heart . Just take for instance a state like Benue that has over time been contending with socio-economic and security challenges as a result of the lingering herdsmen killings , and you want to treacherously sit on their legitimate funds.

“ No doubt, this directive will cause collateral damage to the socio- economic life of the government and people of the affected states . Hence , it should be reversed without further delay because even if the states fail to transparently appropriate the funds , they would have the people to contend with .

“ The Federal Government must realise that this move will deepen the animosity of the people of the states like Benue towards the APC- led Federal Government because they will be hurt the more and obviously unhappy . ”

  Brent Oil Hits Its Highest Level Since 2014 - Oilprice Report
User Avatar Forum: Oil/Gas
Posted by: Edoman - 09-26-2018, 10:12 AM - No Replies

Oil prices burst out of the gates on Monday with strong gains, pushing WTI over $70 and Brent over $80 per barrel. Over the weekend, OPEC+ decided to take no further action to increase production even as Iran continues to lose supply at a torrid pace. Saudi Arabia said it would likely increase output in October but declined to offer specifics. The inaction was met with fears of a supply crunch from the market, pushing Brent up to its highest level in years. A growing number of analysts see higher prices as likely, perhaps even as high as $100 per barrel. 

Europe to establish Iran workaround. The European Union said on Monday that it would set up a special financial vehicle to allow Iran to evade U.S. sanctions. The “special purpose vehicle” would allow European companies to continue to do business with Iran while insulating them from the wrath of the U.S. Treasury. The announcement comes as U.S. President Trump will address the UN General Assembly this week, and the EU decision will put the two sides at odds. Iran’s oil supply losses are mounting, and it is unclear to what extent the EU financial vehicle will stem the tide.

Oil majors agree to reduce methane emissions. A group of the world’s largest oil companies agreed to lower methane emissions from their operations over the coming years. The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) calls for a reduction of methane emissions by a fifth by 2025. ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX)recently joined the initiative and said they would limit methane emissions to 0.25 per cent of total production, compared to 0.32 percent in 2017. The OGCI pledge calls for a reduction to 0.20 per cent. The OGCI consists of companies accounting for a third of global oil and gas production and includes BP (NYSE: BP), Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS.A), Total (NYSE: TOT) and national oil companies in China, Mexico, Brazil and Saudi Arabia.

Easing of U.S. methane rules boosts marginal wells. The Trump administration is in the midst of rolling back limits on methane emissions from the oil and gas industry, a move that could boost small marginal wells. Stripper wells, which produce less than 15 barrels of oil equivalent per day, could be one of the biggest beneficiaries from the deregulation, according to S&P Global Platts. While minuscule on their own, stripper wells collectively account for around 10 percent of U.S. oil production.

U.S. oil exports to China hit by the trade war. China has declined to put tariffs on U.S. crude, but the trend of escalating purchases could come to an end anyway. Unipec, the trading unit of state-owned Sinopec, has reportedly shelved plans to increase oil imports from the United States due to the trade war. Bloomberg reports that Unipec had planned to increase imports to 500,000 bpd next year, up from an average of 300,000 bpd year-to-date.

Permian natural gas discounts widen. Prices for natural gas from the Permian plunged to new lows last week. Gas prices at the Waha hub in West Texas dropped to a record low $0.61/MMBtu, losing $1.06/MMBtu in a single day, according to Natural Gas Intelligence. Prices rebounded somewhat at the end of last week, but the underlying dynamic that is crushing prices has not changed. Pipeline constraints have meant that takeaway capacity has been essentially fully utilized for the last few months. However, news that Southern California Gas Co., a major buyer of Texas gas, had nearly filled its storage tanks, raised new fears of reduced purchases. The result could be a worsening glut of gas trapped in the Permian.

Offshore oil drilling servicers attract investors. Offshore oil rig suppliers such as asTransocean (NYSE: RIG) and Diamond Offshore Drilling (NYSE: DO) are attracting attention as the sector sees a revival and share prices are relatively cheap. “So here we are in mid-September and the trade beckons again,” Credit Suisse wrote in a note to investors. “This time, however, we are one year closer to a recovery after 4 1/2 years of decline, with the drilling contractors sounding more optimistic than in years, with small, light green shoots being seen.”

S&P Global Platts considers the alternative to Brent. S&P Global Platts, which operates the Brent crude benchmark, initiated a consultation on Monday to assess whether the Brent benchmark should give way to other markers as the North Sea loses some relevance. Declining production in the North Sea, particularly from the streams that factor into Brent, has sparked a search for alternatives.

Keystone XL clears hurdle, could begin construction in 2019. The U.S. State Department issued another environmental review in response to a federal judge ruling from this summer, potentially clearing the way for the project to move forward. A spokesman for TransCanada (NYSE: TRP) said that construction could begin next year.

Trump admin weakens oil-by-rail regulations. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) finalized a rule change on Monday, no longer requiring rail companies that carry crude oil or other flammable material to install electronically controlled brakes intended to reduce derailments.

WoodMac: Oil market in danger of long-term supply crunch. Wood Mackenzie said in a new report that upstream development is too sparse to satisfy demand in the years ahead. A lack of spending, new FIDs, and new discoveries spell trouble. “A supply gap opens up in the mid-2020s, reaching 3 million b/d by 2030, 7 million b/d by 2035 and a formidable 12 million b/d by 2040. Barring technology breakthrough beyond what we already assume, we’ll need new oil discoveries,” WoodMac said.

Mexico considers the state-owned natural gas company. Mexico is weighing the creation of a state-owned company dedicated to the upstream production of natural gas. The new company would receive all the non-associated gas assets currently under Pemex’s control.

  Arik, Aero Lose N16.5m Daily Over Closure Of Warri Airport
User Avatar Forum: News
Posted by: Edoman - 09-26-2018, 10:09 AM - No Replies

With daily loss of about N16, 520, 000, two Nigerian major carriers, Arik Air and Aero Contractors have condemned the closure of Osubi Airstrip also known as Warri Airport, in the oil city of Delta State.

The airport was closed on September 3, 2018 when the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) withdrew its navigational services due to debts owed it by the management of the airport, Shoreline Energy International.


In addition to the loss by airlines, the closure has also affected businesses around the airport and also impacted negatively on oil and gas workers who constitute the bulk of the passengers that use the airport.

Akelicious gathered that many of the passengers now use Benin Airport in Edo State, while some travel by road to Delta State.
Head of Communications, Arik Air, Adebanji Ola said yesterday that the airline operates Lagos-Warri flight twice a day and also operates daily flight from Abuja to Warri.

With average fare of N30, 000 per passenger and load factor of 74 passengers per flight with Bombardier Q400 Dash 8 aircraft, the airline said it loses N2, 220, 000 per flight.
Arik also loses a total of N13, 320, 000 daily on three flights to Warri from Lagos and Abuja daily and three flights daily from Warri to Abuja and Lagos respectively.

Spokesman of Arik Air,said that the airline had lost so much due to the closure and described the route as its priced and lucrative route.
“We are losing so much revenue because of the closure. The route is a high yielding route to the airline because we provide premium service to the largely oil and gas workers in Warri and Escravos but now we only provide service to Escravos,” the Arik Air Head of Communication said.

Also the Chief Executive Officer of Aero Contractors, Captain Ado Sanusi, said that Aero operated daily to Warri from Lagos with usually filled Dash 8, Q300 aircraft with capacity of 50-passenger at the cost of N32, 000 per passengers, adding that with the closure of the airport, the company loses N1.6 million on each leg of the flight with a daily loss of N3.2 million.

It was gathered that as at yesterday, September 25, 2018, the airlines had lost N379, 960, 000 since the airport was closed on September 3, 2018The CEO of Aero Contractors Akelicious the airline loses money because of the non-function of the airport, noting that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) should have formally closed the airport after NAMA withdrew its service instead of leaving it technically open.

Spokesman of NCAA, Sam Adurogboye, told Akelicious that NAMA withdrew services to the airport “on the ground that they were not being paid for service rendered. We are aware of their action.” Informed source from NAMA however, told Akelicious that the agency withdrew its Air Traffic Management Services (ATMS) due to debts owed it by Shoreline.

The source said that it was not only the Warri Airport that NAMA withdrew its services, adding that it also did so at the other airports and airstrips indebted to it, which include the airports in Uyo, Akwa Ibom; Bonny-Finima airstrip, Rivers State; Dutse, Jigawa State; Birnin-Kebbi, Kebbi State, Bauchi in Bauchi State and Gombe in Gombe State.
Informed NAMA source said only Warri airport was closed because “the management of the other airports came up with their payment plans and reached agreement with the agency.”

Akelicious also learnt that Warri airport is one of the busiest airports in Nigeria although passenger traffic to the airports slumped in the last six years due to decline in oil and gas activities of some major oil companies around the Warri area.
For example, according to available records, in 2010 the airport recorded a total number of 343,333 passengers; 365,875 in 2011; 355, 661 in 2012; 328, 463 in 2013; 221, 250 in 2014 and 187, 630 in 2015.

Shell Petroleum Develop-ment Company (SPDC) owned the Osubi airstrip and sold it to Shoreline, an indigenous oil and gas concern in April, 2015.
Akelicious learnt that since the airport opened for public use, “it is reckoned to be one of the busiest aviation facilities in Nigeria.”

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES


Wednesday 26TH SEPTEMBER.

SPEED OF THE HOLY GHOST.

And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel (1 Kings 18:46).

There’s such a thing as the speed of the Holy Ghost, where you achieve and accomplish things supernaturally. It’s part of the ministry of the Holy Ghost in our lives: He causes us to accomplish feats that are beyond human comprehension, and in record time.

For example, after the Holy Ghost came on the Apostles, on their first day of evangelism, three thousand souls were won and added to the Church (Acts 2:41)! During their next outreach, five thousand men (women and children not counted) were added to the Church (Acts 4:4). These were supernatural achievements; divine speed in operation.

Today, it’s even greater, because the Bible says the glory of this latter house shall surpass the former (Haggai 2:9). We’re moving with the speed of the Holy Ghost to accomplish extraordinary results for the Kingdom. The Bible says, “For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness…” (Romans 9:28).


If you have a project to accomplish, do it with God’s power and speed. You say, “Father, I have this project; I’m going to do it by the power of the Holy Ghost; it’ll be excellent, it’ll be on time, and it’ll create more opportunities for me and others to accomplish greater things for the Kingdom, in the mighty Name of Jesus!”

It’s a new day; it’s the day of the Lord’s power, and great things are happening with us, to us, and through us. We read in our opening verse that Elijah outran Ahab’s chariot. Those horses were the most sophisticated, the best and fastest horses in Israel, because they were the King’s at a time in which horses were required for war.

The glory of the Lord is in your spirit, placing you far ahead of your detractors, competitors, and adversaries. Blessed be God!

CONFESSION

I’m flying on eagle’s wings; I run with the ability of the Spirit, and I’m never weary. The accuracy and precision of the Spirit are working in me mightily; I see the invisible and do the impossible! Glory to God!


FURTHER STUDY:

Isaiah 40:28-31 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Ephesians 5:15-16 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN


26TH SEPTEMBER.


I affirm that I am an heir of God, and joint-heir with Christ. The Father has made me the first and the best of everything He created. I am the perfection of beauty, fashioned for excellence.

My life is the manifestation of the Father’s glorious and majestic splendour; I display His perfections and unveil His multifaceted wisdom to the world. God’s purpose for my life is established in my heart. I live to fulfil my destiny in Christ, taking a hold of the divine vision and revelation to bring Him glory. My mind is stayed on the Word, and I have peace in my spirit! I am at peace in every situation, for Christ is my peace. I live and walk in peace, every day of my life. I refuse to be a victim of the system because I am born of God, everything about my life is infused with divinity and speaks of God’s glory.

I am not ordinary; for greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world! The life of God is operational in every fibre of my being. My faith is alive and as I demonstrate my faith today, circumstances bow to me; obstacles are eliminated, and I walk in supernatural success and prosperity. Blessed be God. Hallelujah!

SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES NOW

• Be bold to say the same things that God has said concerning you in His Word. That is what takes you beyond salvation, to enjoy the benefits of salvation ~ Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.


God bless you.
