u forgot to add breathing too much... if i hear

Edo State Governor Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has accused the police high command of having a hand in the gruesome murder of his former principal private secretary, Late Comrade David Olaitan.

But the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Abubakar quickly distanced himself from having any hand in the murder of Olaitan, saying that the police only investigated the matter while it was the duty of the court to decide the culprits.

Oshiomhole, who made the allegation yesterday during the official unveiling of the book, ‘Code of Conduct and Professional Standards for Nigeria Police Officers,’ urged President Goodluck Jonathan to order the dismissal and subsequent prosecution of a certain Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) of Police and other officers alleged to have a hand of the man’s killing.

The Edo State governor who delivered the keynote address was moved to tears when he digressed from the topic of the event to register his disapproval of the shoddy manner the police conducted investigation into his secretary’s murder.

According to him, the police left the actual culprits in the murder to arrest a civil rights activist who, he said, had no hand in the murder. He also averred that the State Security Service (SSS) which also investigated the murder came up with the actual culprits, and wondered why the police compromised their investigation.

“I am aggrieved over the murder of my private secretary and the way your men trivialised the investigation,” he said. “In my view (I’m saying it knowing that the vice president is here - he should take the message to Mr President), my private secretary was murdered in cold blood and, in fact, a DIG supervised that investigation because even the president publicly ordered a full investigation into the issue.

“Number two, they (police) wrote a report, which is their own report under their signature, in which they said and I like to quote: ‘that the man who was involved in the murder was already under police detention at the time my secretary was murdered; the weapon that was used for the murder was used for armed robbery earlier, recovered and kept under police custody at the time my private secretary was urdered.

‘So the man who murdered my secretary was in police custody, the gun he used was with police custody - and this is the findings of the police. So the only conclusion that can be reached is that the police ordered the killing of my private secretary.”

Crap!

If na true,then no home training in Bakare's home and this is the evidence.

[size=14pt]…How he conered N35b State land at Ajah with Trojan Estate Ltd[/size]

The massive looting of Lagos state by the Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has reached monumental proportion. Tinubu whose companies recently conered a multi billion road construction job in Ogun State, has in his pocket all the juicy contract in all the Action Congress’ states.

In retrospect, it might be difficult to come to terms with the fact that an individual could hold the entire south west to ransom. There is no doubt that Tinubu has succeeded in buying the Lagos State government, and he has done this using government funds

Whenever someone in Lagos begins to wonder where their 4th mainland bridge went, or what was the fate of the pipe-borne water project, or even where the schools and hospitals had vanished to, there is a silence that contains it all. The largest landlord in Lagos has done as he has pleased, and the rest of the state just has to deal with it. For instance:

Number 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi: A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land which was originally the Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979, but which now belongs to Tinubu. The certificate of occupancy of the property valued at N450 million was signed and released to him by Fashola in 2007 shortly after he assumed office.

Tinubu’s residence at 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi was initially falsely presented as Oando Plc Guest House. Later, he purportedly bought it from Oando, and used public funds to rebuild and renovate it. The Lagos State Government bought the property and paid an undisclosed sum to him and thereafter gave the property back to him under the bogus Pension Bill he signed to law shortly before he left office in 2007. The property is worth over N600 million.

The annex of the Lagos State Guest House in Asokoro, Abuja was bought by the State Government in 2006 for N450 million, purportedly to protect the main house from security breach. Shortly after Tinubu left office, the property was transferred to him under the pension plan he signed into law before leaving office.

The 250-hectare land valued at about N35billion and strategically located at the Ajah junction on Lekki Road was initially meant for a General Hospital for the people of Eti-Osa Local Government but was stolen by Tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd – a company owned by Deji and Wale Tinubu – to develop as Royal Garden Housing Estate at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.

The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Lekki Concession Company (LCC) which is partly- owned by Tinubu and Fashola and being developed as golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource Management Ltd (ARM) as ADIVA project.

The prime land of 157 hectares with 2.5km of Atlantic beachfront valued at about N10billion and stolen by Tinubu from the communities of Siriwon, Igbekodo, Apakin, etc in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Ibukun Fakeye – his crony to build a golf course and luxury villa with little or no compensation to the villagers. In addition, Tinubu paid $20million (N3billion) out of public treasury to Ibukun Fakeye to commence the project in late 2006. Fashola has since released additional funding for this project, which is not owned by the state government.

The 14-hectare Parkview Ikoyi Estate foreshore land reclaimed by Lagos State Government is now owned by Bola Tinubu.

While in office, he allocated to himself the former Strabag yard beside the Lagos State Secretariat at Alausa, Ikeja. The property is now being developed into a shopping mall as big as the Palms in Lekki. This is public property brazenly stolen and now owned by Tinubu, aided by Fashola.

The choice property at Lekki-Epe road on which he built and owns the multi-billion Naira Oriental Hotel and the extension of multi-storey car park beside it. Also, the multi-level recreation centre by Mobil in Oniru Estate on Lekki-Epe road jointly owned with ARM and Tunji Olowolafe. All these assets valued at over N25billion were obtained without paying a kobo to the Lagos State Government.

Tinubu and Fashola sold the following prime Lagos properties to their personal friend and front – Prince Dipo Eludoyin at very ridiculous prices:

• The 3.8-hectare of land of Lagos State Fisheries office in VI (beside the Institute of Oceanography) valued at N3billion.

• The fishery landing jetty at Badore (where the Ilubirin fishermen were to be relocated) valued at N500million

• The entire Ogudu foreshore scheme initially earmarked for a low-cost housing scheme valued at N5billion

• The Ilubinrin housing estate (which used to house Lagos state civil servants and judges up till 2007) valued at N2.5billion.

• The former Julius Berger yard at Oko Orisan, Epe valued at N450million.

Tinubu raised a loan of N4.7billion on Eko Akete project for which nothing was achieved before he turned around to sell the property to his Chagouri friends of Chagouri & Chagouri and Hitech Construction Ltd at a ridiculously low price at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.

Tinubu applied to personally purchase the Federal Secretariat building while in office. When he couldn’t get to buy it, he directed Fashola to stop the eventual owner of the complex to develop it. The complex is presently wasting away courtesy of the Lagos State Government.

It took several months of horse trading and underhand payments before Fashola could allow the new owners of 1004 flats to redevelop the complex. Several other buyers of Federal Government properties and developers of properties in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Government Reservation Area Ikeja were forced to succumb to the outrageous demands of Tinubu, Fashola, Commissioner Abosede and other officials of the Lagos State Physical Planning Ministry and were made to pay ridiculous amounts to private accounts before their redevelopments were approved. Those who refused or were unable to pay could not develop their properties. This is a major economic strangulation of property developers and has contributed largely to the skyrocketing rent in Ikoyi, VI and Lekki axis.

Tinubu converted all the plots of land where Lagos Polytechnic was located at Ikosi near the old toll gate. He chased away the Polytechnic in 2006 and went ahead to locate the choice plots to himself, his cronies and political associates. The headquarters of Television Continental (TVC), which is owned by him, is located there. He deprived the youths of Lagos of decent education because of his greed.

Tinubu solely sold the prime land on Aboyade Cole, Victoria Island which was recovered from some allotees, to UACN Properties Plc. The amount of proceeds was shrouded in secrecy.

Eludoyin, fronting for Tinubu, built the estate directly opposite Goshen Beach Estate in Lekki area.

Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu, built the massive New Era Foundation youth camp at the junction of Eleko, off the Lekki-Epe express road, with Lagos State funds and has now converted it to personal use.

Tinubu owns the Fara Park Estate and the Beach Wood Estate both in Lekki.

The Critical Care unit at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, built and equipped with state funds, is now owned personally by Tinubu. He has put one Dr. Sikiru Tinubu, (a supposed cousin of his) to run the outfit. It is run as a private unit and the proceeds are pocketed by the duo. The unit charges its users exorbitantly and most Lagosians can hardly afford to pay its high charges. Much of the revenue is derived from fees paid by the State Government for patients referred there by its General Hospitals.

Several prominent Nigerians in the judiciary, police, INEC, and other sensitive agencies have obtained prime land from former Governor Tinubu and incumbent Governor Fashola over the years without paying a kobo. Many of them had turned around to sell the land to third parties at substantial profit. Many top officials in the police, INEC and the judiciary who participated in the 2003 and 2007 elections and tribunals in states where Tinubu has interest were compromised with parcels of free prime Lagos land and cash. If the Lagos State Land’s Bureau could publish the names and identities of beneficiaries of land allotees from 2000 to date, the scandal that will result is better imagined. Gbenga Ashafa, now a Senator, and Mrs. Awofisayo were the conduits through which these acts were being perpetrated. Both were also personally involved in various dubious land transactions on their own.

Prime land and properties have been used to pay off public officials who are personally close to Tinubu and Fashola for “jobs well done” or for being privy to sensitive information, notably:

(a) Dele Alake, former Commissioner for Information and Strategy, was sold a whole house on Alexander Road, Ikoyi where he lived as official quarters at a give-away price.

(b) Rauf Aregbesola, Osun State Governor, who was a former Commissioner in Lagos as well as Muiz Banire, also a former commissioner, got detached houses at Ladoke Akintola Street, GRA Ikeja for their “good job” while serving under Tinubu.

(c) Yemi Cardoso and Wale Edun, both former commissioners, were sold houses on Iru Close, and another location in old Ikoyi at give-away prices by Tinubu

i bought fuel at N200 per litre!!!...i am yet to recover from that...when i do, i will come back and comment.

Olanlere11: Hard labour doesn't change a criminal, it hardens him. They should focus on rehabilitation and reintegration.

and soft labour...they should be allowed to drive cabs too. mstcheew!

Olanlere11: Objectively, 2013will determine so many issues. GEJ has promised steady power supply, construction of Lagos-Ibadan expressway, the Benin Ore road, importation of items locally produced have been banned, giving way for improvement of our economy, the PIB bill if passed will reposition that sector, already, GEJ has succeeded in reforming the electoral process, signed the FOI act and so on. If we put all theses together, I see him sitting tight for another 4yrs, though with our consent.
The opposition isn't doing so well to convince Nigerians and win their trust. TINUBU is compounding their problems. For now, I don't see them pulling through.

instead of thinking too much...let me just follow ur comments here. U have said alot.

hahaha...all na only talk jare...

I first of all eat very good food and anything i feel like eating then i try to make someone else happy. it automatically changes my mood.

What is this man still doing with our money in CBN? he should be demoted!

Super1759: so we are not the worst self.(We will get there, keep it up FRESH AIR)
This same kenya, most corrupt. * obama should do something, this is a slap on his face joor*

I wonder you guys get all the fictitious reports from... By the way, going by ur presumption...we dey try jor.

BEIJING (AFP) – Projecting calm, poise and a touch of humility, China’s new leader Xi Jinping introduced himself to his country and the world on Thursday, beginning with an apology.

His relaxed smile and disarmingly friendly wave as he strode onto a platform at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People were a radical departure from the stiff appearances of other top leaders including his predecessor Hu Jintao.

Emerging at the helm of a new seven-man leadership committee, he vowed to improve the lives of ordinary Chinese.

“Our people have an ardent love for life. They wish to have better education, more stable jobs, more income, greater social security, better medical and health care, improved housing conditions, and a better environment,” he said.

“They want their children to have sound growth, have good jobs and lead a more enjoyable life. To meet their desire for a happy life is our mission.”

Xi’s appointment as China’s top leader was a widely expected move, and the appearance before hundreds of foreign and domestic journalists was a rite in which the Communist Party announces its new leader every decade.

In his first comments, he apologised for starting late, in an unexpected human moment, before discussing the aspirations of China’s increasingly vocal population.

Although short on specifics, the speech before a sprawling watercolour depicting the Great Wall was delivered in a tone not often seen at China’s top level.

And it differed markedly from one Hu gave 10 years ago to the day on his ascent to power, which was heavy on communist jargon and references to socialist figures like Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.

Xi avoided mention of those communist luminaries, and expressed a desire for better relations with the outside world.

“Friends from the press,” Xi said, “just as China needs to learn more about the world, so does the world need to learn more about China.”

“I hope you will continue your efforts to deepen mutual understanding between China and the world.”

Over 19 minutes, Xi also warned that China faces numerous “severe challenges” such as widespread corruption and the party’s alienation from the country’s 1.3 billion people.

Pu Xingzu, a professor of politics at Fudan University in Shanghai, said the speech sent a message that Xi’s leadership style would be “low-key, practical, and close to the people”.

“It was short, it was practical — not really high-sounding with empty words or ‘officialese’,” he said.

Some users of China’s popular Twitter-like microblogs saw the speech as a refreshing departure.

“I hope the new crop of leaders will not disappoint the people’s hopes, will innovate and reform, and courageously strive to create a democratic and constitutional new nation,” wrote one user.

“Xi spoke well, without the old empty, cliched, bombastic and fake words we are used to hearing… it’s a good start.”

Opiti99: i will not blame the Nigerian government if it adopt Zakibiam approach to tackle terrorism in the country. As a matter of fact, the present administration has exercised maximum patience on the terrorists. Then the President can not fold alms and watch some useless cannibals destroying his govt...but we should continue to pray for peace to reign

that will be wiping like the whole maiduguri or what? is that what you are implying?

Na today you know Nigerian Police?

Highest bidder gets his orchestrated news on the headlines!

we will be done for? yeah...for real!

we will be done for?

i personally believe the Zaki biam approach would be causing more death of innocent Nigerians, adding to the toll already taken by the insurgents... so in my opinion... make we dialogue jare...abi blood never tire una to see

packman: The last time i resited The national athem was my V.S during my secondry school thats about 6 yrs ago and am very sure i may not hav the chance to resite it again
what about you

you cant even even spell recite...

Men don’t like women that are free wit all men, that all men can touch her all over, if you are going to attract a husband, u have to have the qualities of a wife, one thing i do know is that most men do not like aggressive & domineering women.
For some women, every man that shows a little interest, they see as a potential husband, that will scare any man away, if u treat every man like a friend & brother, u will win d heart of some man. If u just talk to men anyhow & u have no respect for everyman around, no man will be attracted to you, some women are just talkative, they talk a mile a minute, u can’t get it right if u talk too much, u ask her one question, she volunteers d story of her entire life. Any man loves challenges, it is that lovely, well behaved woman that everyone says is hard to get,that most men would want to marry.
Most men hate it when a woman is stalking on them(trying to find out if he’s cheating or lying).
A man can love you forever if you can prove to him that you are different from the average girl he meets daily. Winning a man’s heart is the easiest thing to do,all the lady needs is to keep an arms-length and study his behaviours.
Men don’t appreciate ladies that are desperate, especially when it comes to getting married…Ladies,do nt let frustration lead u to desperation so as to avoid self-destruction.

A Kenyan mother has named her new-born twins after US President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, the BBC reports.

Millicent Owuor, 20, gave birth to the twins in south-west Kenya on the day Obama was re-elected.

A short distance from the hospital, at the Obama family’s ancestral village, people were celebrating his victory.

“I named the first twin Barack and the second one Mitt,” Owuor was quoted by Reuters as saying.

Owuor posed for photographers on Wednesday at the Siaya District Hospital with her twin boys.

She said she had named her twins after the winning and losing US presidential candidates in order to remember the day of the vote, Kenya’s Standard newspaper reports.

The US president’s father was born in Kenya and his step-grandmother, Sarah Obama, still lives in the village of Kogelo.

The residents of Kogelo sang and danced after Obama was declared the winner.

“The reason why he has won is because God has given it to him,” said Sarah Obama, who turns 90 this year.

“Secondly, he has got the knowledge to love all people, he doesn’t have the knowledge of division, that is why he has won.”

Barack Obama senior died in a road accident in Kenya in 1982.
