Pro-fuel Subsidy Removal Rally In Anambra by Abagworo(m): 7:16am On Jan 11, 2012 |
http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2012/jan/11/national-11-01-2012-0031.html Second day into the nationwide strike by organized labour to protest the removal of fuel subsidy, pro-subsidy demonstrators took over the major streets of Anambra’s major towns of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi. A ride through these towns showed that normal commercial activities were going on as some business premises were opened, except banks. The placards carrying demonstrators marched through the major streets of Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi describing President Goodluck Jonathan as a courageous leader who should be supported by all Nigerians. Speaking with newsmen shortly after the demonstration, the leader of the group, Raluchukwu Umeh, described the measure as a temporary sacrifice for a better future and urged every discerning Nigerian to support the removal of fuel subsidy, which, he noted, was a move made by the government to bail Nigeria out of her economic doldrums. Meanwhile, Governor Obi had thanked the people of Anambra State for their understanding over the subsidy removal and appealed to them to continue to go about their normal businesses. He assured that the initial hardship, occasioned by the removal was manageable rather than the havoc it would have caused the nation in the future. The Governor called onthe people to be vigilant to ensure that proceeds from subsidy removal were judiciously utilized. |

Re: Pro-fuel Subsidy Removal Rally In Anambra by ziccoit: 7:40am On Jan 11, 2012 |
These people don't understand anything. They want to produce president by all means in 2015 thinking GEJ will be so important in that regard. The rest of the country is watching them and we are patiently waiting. No amount of blindfolds and charade of calumnies could right the wrong. Removing the fuel subsidy while corruption in government is at peak is wrong. |
Re: Pro-fuel Subsidy Removal Rally In Anambra by Abagworo(m): 8:19am On Jan 11, 2012 |
Beaf: You see quite unlike you and your cohorts, I stand by the truth. I'm not against subsidy removal but still accepted that there was a demonstration in support of it. The best you can do is to fault the title. |

They are the "lazy phucks" committing all the fraud and sabotage holding Nigeria back. They are the only ones who carry out TAM scams that ensure our refineries remain comatose.

Very Good. SE folks know what hardship really means. They started life afresh from 20 bucks given to them after the war. The temporary 'hardship' of the subsidy removal is child's play compared to that. March on, compatriots. Nigeria can only move forward by radical policy changes. Meanwhile the protests (against corruption) should also be targetted against ALL NASS members who are only supporting the subsidy replacement to avoid the mass calling for slashing of their entitlements, state govs and house of assembly members whose embezzlement skills are no less legendary, LG chairmen of whom most don't have any developmental blueprint, do-nothing councillors and all past public officials of the past 4 decades who are the major culprits of our infrastructural predicament |
Re: Pro-fuel Subsidy Removal Rally In Anambra by Nobody: 10:25am On Jan 11, 2012 |
What more can you expect from these desperate, greedy and heartless mother4-u-ckers? When majority of their wealth is gotten through rituals, armed robbery and kidnapping. People so desperate to use their mother, wife and only child just to become a billionaire over night. I pity those rented crowds because eventually it is their children the Okija and otokoto patronist will end up using when the wealth is dwindling. Nigeria will rather devide than South-South, North or Yorubas allowing them to rule nigeria for even 24hours. |
Re: Pro-fuel Subsidy Removal Rally In Anambra by chino11(m): 10:27am On Jan 11, 2012 |

talknafree: Ado Ekiti — It was like a miracle last Thursday in Ado Ekiti, when a 14-year old teenage girl, Openiye Ranti escaped death after spending 72 hours in the ritualist's den. Ranti, a student of All Soul's Anglican Grammar School, Basiri, Ado Ekiti was kidnapped at about 4pm on Monday by a 6- man ritual syndicates at Basiri Area of Ado Ekiti in a light blue Bus and taken to a hideout between Ado Ekiti and a neighbouring Iyin Ekiti alongside two other teenagers. The teenager, who lost her consciousness, having been charmed by the evil men was later dropped at the same location at about 7pm on Thursday after the hairs on her head and pubic had been removed for the ritual purpose. Ranti said, she was sent by her grandma, whom she lives with to buy vegetable when the ritualists accosted her and ordered her into the car, which she willingly obliged. She narrated her ordeals to newsmen at Christ Evangelical and Miracle Church, behind Fountain Nursery and Primary School, Omosajana Area of the StateCapital, where she regained her consciousness after several hours of prayers by men of God. Ranti, whose father, Mr Kolade Omolade, a native of Afao Ekiti is a Traffic Warden with the Ekiti State Police Command said, the men immediately covered her face with a black hood and drove her into a bush, where she was tied to a tree alongside several other old and young victims they met at the dangerous spot. She explained that she saw a deep cave where the ritualists used to take the next victim to and got an envelope in exchange, which she suspected to be money after the victim had been traditionally certified to be appropriate for the ritual . The victim suspected the two students kidnapped alongside with her to be students of Christ's Girl School, Ado Ekiti, adding that the students have not been killed when she was relased. Ranti, who had not fully recovered from the trauma she was made to pass through revealed that, "I was sent to buy vegetable when these six men in one light blue bus called me and asked me to enter into a bus. They immediately covered my face with a hood and drove us alongside two other students in skirt and blouse Purple-coloured. "The three of us were hanged outside the cave, but I knew that those that were the real ritualists were inside the cave. "When any of the victim is taken into the cave and he was good for ritual, they will give the kidnappers an envelope, which I thought contains huge amount of money". Speaking further on how she was released, "On Thursday when I was to be killed, I struggled with them as they were dragging me into the cave and a man just emerged and ordered them to take me to where they picked me without giving the reasons and that was how I was charmed and became unconscious until I was brought into this Church". Ranti's sister, Mrs Kemi Olayiwola, who sighted her where she was dropped and brought her to the Church said, she could neither stand nor speak when she was brought to the Church. Kemi told the newsmen that they have searched everywhere in the State Capital in search of the victim since she got missed on Monday before she was found. The clergyman in -charge of the Church, Pastor Lanre Idowu told the newsmen that he had to hurriedly converge the Church's prayer warriors for a special prayer session before Ranti could regain her consciousness from satanic bondage. "She behaved like a slowpoke when she was brought here, but after about one hour of fire-branded prayer , she began to regain her consciousness". The Public Relations Officer of the Ekiti State Police Command, ASP Victor Babayemi did not pick his telephone sets when he was called to confirm the story http://my-lagos..com/2011/10/girl-escapes-from-ritualists-den.html

talknafree: 2 men caught with human head in Osogbo From MUTIU GANIYU, Osogbo There was a commotion at Kelebe, Osogbo, Osun state as two middle-aged men were caught with a human head . The men after they were caught and beaten to pulp by mob allegedly confessed to have severed the head from a freshly buried corpse at burial ground belonging to Al-Birr (Doing Good) Foundation. Daily Sun gathered that people in the area have placed the suspects under watch as they have been frequenting the area in the recent times. Those who spoke said when they were earlier accosted few months ago, the duo said they were bricklayer working in one of the plots in the area. “We have noticed that some people have been disturbing the graveyard recently. We reported our findings to the police and intensified personal surveillance with local security and vigilante. We also went spiritual. All these yielded positive result and they were caught”, Mr. Jimoh Abdul Lateef, the secretary to the Foundation disclosed. Luck ran out on them when the local security demanded for the content of the black bag carried by one of them early in the morning. Heated argument ensued as they initially refused to open the bag and when they discovered that they have been exposed, they attempted to escape but they were overpowered and beaten mercilessly. The two were said to have confessed that the head was the sixth severed from corpses in the graveyard. The suspects were later handed over to the police for further investigation. The two men were detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Ring Road, Osogbo. When contacted, the State’s Commissioner of Police, Mr. Solomon Olusegun confirmed the incident, saying that whoever was involved in the case would be prosecuted. |

talknafree: This is everyday occurrence in youroba land. Treasonable Sex! You slept with my wife Gbenga accuses dad ex-President Obasanjo and father-in-law •Doubts paternity of kids •Seeks DNA tests By Jibola Ojekunle Sunday, January 13, 2008 First son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Gbenga, has sensationally accused him and his father-in-law, Otunba Alex Onabanjo, of sleeping with his wife, Mojisola. Gbenga, presently asking Lagos High Court to dissolve the seven-year-old marriage, doubts the paternity of the fruits of the wedlock. The shocking revelation is contained in a fresh affidavit deposited to by the petitioner in response to cross petition of the defendant, a copy of which was made available to Sunday Sun at the weekend. Earlier, Mojisola had accused Gbenga of sundry sins including assault and battery. The divorce suit has been dragging in court since 2006. The 50-paragraph affidavit is averred to on Gbenga’s behalf by his solicitors, Addeh Associates. The tenth paragraph says: “The Petitioner (Gbenga Obasanjo) further avers that he knows for a fact that the Respondent committed adultery with and had an intimate, sexual relationship with his own father, General Olusegun Obasanjo, due to her greed to curry favours and contracts from him in his capacity as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “The Petitioner avers that the Respondent also got rewarded for her adulterous acts with several oil contracts with the NNPC from his father, General Olusegun Obasanjo, amongst which was the NNPC consultancy training in supply chain management and project management awarded to her company Bowen and Brown.” The eighth paragraph says: “The Petitioner avers that the respondent confided in him severally while they living together (sic) that she had been sexually abused and defiled by her father, Otunba Alex Onabanjo on several occasions.” Neiher Chief Obasanjo nor Otunba Onabanjo could be reached for reaction as at press time last night. http://www.nigerianmuse.com/20080112230541zg/sections/spotlight-focus-on-issues/son-gbenga-accuses-obasanjo-and-father-in-law-of-sleeping-with-his-wife-asks-for-paternity/ |
