An Igbo scholar, Dr. Samuel Okafor, has made one-time Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, look so small and uneducated by using facts and figures to demolish the claims he made in the controversial August 8 article, “The Bitter Truth About The Igbo”, which set off a storm that almost threatened Igbo-Yoruba relations. In the first part of an article entitled “The Lies of Femi Fani-Kayode”, Okafor, who has a First Class in History from the University of Nigeria Nsukka and then did a Ph.D in Nsukka on scholarship, dismissed Fani- Kayode as a “half-baked intellectual.” He then proceeded, point by point, to address what he termed “the most reckless amongst the tangle of reckless comments spewed by Femi, a character who with each punch of his keypad stresses his severely unwell conditions of logorrhoea, delusions of enlightenment, history and sociology – amongst others.”

First of all dj khaled is old enough and free to walk up to any girl in the world to express his intention to her, but i will rather discribe the move as cawordious and childish one this because both of them where never in any relationship b4 this time, but however let wait for Nikkys response till then peace.

MBU IS D CAURSE OF ALL THESE HE SHOULD BE REMOVED LOL

it is not because we don’t love you, it is only because we want more; if we don’t make noise, people will not hear us”. The President, who was accompanied to the occasion by the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, did not make any political statement but stated that the Zungeru project being flagged off was the biggest hydo electric power project embarked upon by his administration. He reiterated his administration’s resolve to revolutionise the power sector and stated that it the reason he beat all the challenges through a roadmap drawn in august 2010 for sector. While admitting that all the targets in the roadmap have not been fully achieved, Jonathan said his government had exceeded all expectations adding that “this is a project that will really turn the economy around not just in Niger State but indeed the rest of the country."

Jonathan’s The Only President With Goodluck And Experience – Gov. Aliyu Governor Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State yesterday used the occasion of the flagging off of the N162.9billion Hydro- power Project in Zungeru, by President Goodluck Jonathan to declare that there was no friction between him and the President. Aliyu was reacting to a purported plan by the Presidency and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to go after Governors seen to be sympathetic to the plight of Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi following the outcome of last Friday’s Governors’ Forum election. Aliyu declared after announcing three chieftaincy titles, of Mayakin Kontagora, Jagaban Minna, and Dan Hasken Kalgara to Jonathan said “those who are hoping that there is wedge between Niger state government and the president can now swallow their pills” He said, “Mr President, you are the only Nigerian with goodluck and experience having been a deputy Governor, a Governor, a Vice-President with a PHD. So, if you hear criticisms,

source, Amaechi was with Omehia on Thursday May 23, 2013 till about 2am on Friday, May 24, 2013 and repeated same day at 8am. Omehia however according to the lawmaker refused to accept the offer and plea to withdraw the case from the Supreme Court but told Amaechi to give him time to think about it. That was the only way Amaechi could leave his house. Whether or not they will eventually reconcile, time that heals all wounds will tell but nonetheless, history will never fail to repeat itself. Watch out.

except one wishes to forfeit his position which he (Amaechi) may not contemplate. Doing so may be a direct passport to the nation's Siberia – the EFCC. We are not yet in possession of detailed outcome of the Omehia/ Amaechi close-door meeting. But it's not likely that the reconciliation that could not be contracted in the House of God as once brokered by Archbishop Ignatius Kattey will easily scale through via close doors. Meanwhile, a powerful lawmaker (name withheld) who was also in the delegation to see Sir Celestine Omehia told National Network that Governor Rotimi Amaechi heartily begged Sir Omehia, and came short of kneeling down. Amaechi, according to the lawmaker pleaded with his brother for forgiveness. “I know I have offended you. I am ready to compensate you. We can work together. Please accept to withdraw the case from the Court. If you fail to withdraw and I am sacked by the Supreme Court both of us will be the losers. Somebody will benefit”, Amaechi was quoted to have pleaded. According to same

Amaechi's Governor supporters are mainly of the opposition parties who do not have a say in PDP and therefore not in position to help him out. To add salt to injury, the PDP National Working Committee (NWC), Monday, May 27, 2013, Amaechi’s birthday, wielded the big stick, suspending Governor Chibuike Amaechi from the party for anti-party activities. This is the second time Amaechi is being suspended from PDP. The first time was in 2007 and was reinstated when he became governor. As hopeless as the situation seems, Amaechi's scanty supporters in the state still believe their principal (Oga) will weather through the storm unscathed. But he who wears the shoes knows where it pinches. This explains why meeting and reconciling with his hurt cousin, Omehia, even if it means kneeling down for him is now a necessity. Who knows what else his detractors may be coming up with. More so, as dumping the PDP and joining another party may not help matters. The new electoral law we are meant to understand does not allow that

illegality which is still in court and seen by many as a potential threat to Amaechi. Despite all the delay tactics by the incumbent administration to scuttle the effort, Omehia has refused to give up, hoping he will get justice even if it means cancelling the April 26, 2011 election which both Amaechi and Omehia are praying for in the Appeal Court. Amaechi's fear in this regard is understandable. Not just losing the case to Omehia but it's most unlikely that he will be renominated as the PDP candidate in view of his present travails. His political structure in the state has been demolished with the sacking of his hatchet man, Chief G. U. Ake and his lieutenants, the 27 members of the State House of Assembly that pretend to be on his side are also suspended from the party. To the majority of the PDP governors across the country, PDP leaders and the Presidency, Amaechi is a perso-non-grata. The Nigerian Governors Forum is more or less destroyed with two factions claiming victory in the last election.

flag of the party in 2011, four years after. Even though Sir Celestine Omehia did not win the election and came second, little did he know that the April 26, 2011 would provide him the opportunity to express his anger and disapproval of what he suffered in the hands of Governor Amaechi and the PDP. That was when one Cyprian Chukwu went to an Abuja High Court to secure a ruling that Gov Amaechi should not stay in office a day longer than May 28, 2011 even against the INEC's position that the governorship election in Rivers State would be in October 2011, when Amaechi would have completed his four year first term. Amaechi was sworn into office on October 27, 2007. Based on this contested court ruling, the INEC went ahead to conduct elections in Rivers State on April 26, 2011 in which Amaechi participated on the platform of the PDP. To Omehia, this amounted to tenure reduction which is as a serious offence as term elongation. Consequently, he (Omehia) went to court to challenge the alleged

ment. Since then there has never been any love lost between the two brothers. The disagreement, sorry, enmity did not stop there, all their supporters also partook in the fight. Just like the original sin by one family (Adam and Eve), the Amaechi/Omehia feud spread to all that related to the fighting giants. Even the Ubima community has not been the same ever since, with Omehia's loyalists still feeling aggrieved and nursing animosity against the jubilant new dictators that see themselves as Amaechi's hatchet men. Having nowhere to appeal what he described as gross injustice by the almighty Nigerian Judiciary (Supreme Court), Omehia may have resorted to prayers, hoping God would provide him consolation no man, no politician could give him. He was later to decamp the Peoples Democratic Party who rather than identify with him at this moment of need chose to follow Amaechi to make up for its losses. Thank God, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) was handy to accept and compensate him with the governorship

just a few pages more Up to date, Omehia's name is not on the Govt. House protocol list as a very important personality (VIP) let alone a former governor. His enlargement photograph that once adorned the executive council chambers of the Govt. House was also removed. This is just a tip of the iceberg of what Celestine Omehia went and has been going through all these years. No sooner had his cousin, Amaechi assumed office as the State Chief Executive than the state treasury was declared emptied by his predecessor, Omehia as well as the contracts duly awarded and paid for while his five month regime lasted was dubbed reckless spending of public funds by Amaechi. To Omehia, it was a nightmare that same Amaechi who was instrumental to his selection as his substitute sequel to the K-leg saga could go so far to unseat him and press further to ridicule him even in his predicament. Since then there has never been any love lost between the two brothers.

The venue was Omehia's Abuja residence. On Governor Amaechi's entourage for the reconciliation mission was his dependable ally, and suspended Leader of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Chidi Lloyd among others. Both Omehia and Amaechi had maintained hard stance since the former was booted out of office by the October 25, 2007 controversial Supreme Court ruling in favour of the latter. While Amaechi rejoiced and celebrated for reclaiming his mandate, Omehia was left alone in the cold gnashing his teeth. It was then that it dawned on him that the hundreds of thousands of supporters, loyalists and admirers who flocked around him did so because of what they got and hoped to get - political fair weather friends. As though that was not enough, the Supreme Court ruling clause, which stated that he (Omehia) never existed in the eyes of the law was interpreted by his successor and implemented to the last letter that he was not and should not be addressed as a former governor.

Ahead of Supreme Court Hearing- Amaechi Visits Omehia For Reconciliation…­ Begs For Withdrawal Of Suit By Chris Konkwo The scenario could be likened to a diarrhea patient not minding the sacredness of the bush so long it provides him the necessary cover to discharge the unusually impromptu stooling. Perhaps, compelled by the seeming hopeless situation of still remaining and retaining his position as the Number One Citizen of the State against the volcanic political undercurrents threatening his continued tenancy of the Brick House, Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has now seen reason to reconcile with his blood cousin, and the ousted former state governor, Celestine Omehia. Though the moves to have audience with his estranged cousin had been on for months without any positive reply, Gov Amaechi eventually succeeded in breaking the barriers Thursday, May 23, 2013, few hours to the day the controversial Nigerian Governors' Forum election took place to meet with Sir Celestine Omehia one on one.
