computermouse: In those days education was a privilege and only a few, that had it were put front by their communities, for these positions immediately after independence the few that studied outside Nigeria and had direct experience with colonial masters where chosen as the link between Nigeria and the then colonist masters. nowadays we have a lot of people that have been exposed, a lot of people that have travelled far and wide at even more tender ages- we have so many people that want to arrest power because they were not fortunate to arrest power because they did not belong to that class - pius anyims, the david marks, most of the old aged governors the list of them are endless should we then allow these people to continue to rule and destroy our lives. ..thank God the youth are now living up their responsibility by coming into politics. God bless Nigeria |

WHERE DID WE GO WRONG? WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS Awolowo was (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello (36) Balewa (34) and Okotie-Eboh (27), Enahoro (27) led the struggle for independence after the death of Macaulay.

| Politics / Secret Intelligence Report Implicates Ex- Governor Sheriff, Chad President by Akinife(m): 2:58pm On Sep 13, 2014 |
New facts showing stronger links between former governor of Borno state, Ali Modu Sheriff, and the Boko Haram sect have emerged, further fuelling suggestions the ex-governor is a major financier of the terrorist sect. Intelligence insights obtained by PREMIUM TIMES in Maiduguri, Damaturu, and Abuja show dated communications between field officers and the velvet ranks of Nigeria’s military chronicling Mr. Sheriff’s involvement in promoting the growth of the sect. The communications painted a picture of what appears to be a powerful regional support structure involving the Chadian president, Nigerian officials and Niger Republic, and spearheaded by Mr. Sheriff whom the intelligence presents as a powerful figure within this circle. Strong evidence indicates that the Nigerian government received actionable intelligence about Mr. Sheriff’s links to Boko Haram as far back as 2011 but has, curiously, ignored all warnings and nudges to act to stop the Boko Haram call him in for interrogation. Mr. Sheriff has long been suspected of masterminding the Boko Haram sect, but the documents sighted by this newspaper offers deeper understanding into how Mr. Sheriff allegedly finances the deadly sect and his probable motivations. When Sheriff visits Abeche Nourished by deep and impeccable sources from members of the Chadian Army, Nigerian intelligence experts had arrived at fairly certain conclusions that Mr. Sheriff was actively involved in the recruitment, training and deployment of Boko Haram members. “…members of Boko Haram sect are sometimes kept in Abeche region in Chad and trained before being dispersed. This happens usually when Mr. Sheriff visits Abeche,” a 2011 intelligence memo from field officers in N’djamena,the capital of Chad, read. When Mr. Sheriff visits Abeche for these activities, he lodges in Chadian Presidential Guest House in Abeche, and is provided security by the Chadian government, the intelligence communications claim. Mr. Sheriff is a close friend of the Chadian president, Idris Deby. In 2011, during the Chadian presidential elections, Mr. Sheriff reportedly supported the Chadian president with 35 vehicles, for security, and is believed to have significantly bankrolled Mr. Deby’s re-election. Nigerian defence and intelligence community members typically describe Mr. Sheriff as a gun runner in their many communications, and they often speak in conviction that his weapons find their way into Nigeria through Niger Republic into Yobe state. Yobe is Boko Haram’s stronghold and has suffered heavy casualties in magnitudes only second to Borno. Money, Politics and Power Back in August 2011, intelligence officials were characterising Mr. Sheriff’s motivations for sponsoring Boko Haram as similar to a certain “3rd generation South South governor,” with the aim of covering up financial irregularities he might have committed as governor of Borno state, as well as propagate a stay-put in office strategy by suppressing the opposition. The officials suggest that Mr. Sheriff did not create the sect but was actively using the “monster” and could be sponsoring the sect as a way of protecting himself from the sect members who were “calling for his head” at the time. “One way of reclaiming the lost loyalty of the sect therefore, was sponsorship of their cause,” intelligence officials were telling their principals. Mr. Sheriff was not reachable for his comments. A former commissioner under his administration as governor of Borno state who also speaks for him, Inuwa Bwala, told PREMIUM TIMES Mr. Sheriff was outside the country and could not respond to enquiries. Both the Nigerian defence headquarters and the Nigerian government also declined to comment on this intelligence. Phone calls were not answered, and text messages were not replied to. This is not the first time that Mr. Sheriff will be accused of links to the terrorist group, Boko Haram. He denies any links. An April 2, 2012 report by a Cameroonian daily, L’Oriel du Sahel, said the former governor, now a member of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was arrested in 2012 upon entering Cameroon from Chad on his way to meeting the governor of that country’s northern region. The report said Cameroonian police authorities questioned Mr. Sheriff for hours and only released him later following pressure from senior government officials in that country. An Ambassador Usman Galtimari Panel, set up by President Goodluck Jonathan to investigate the genesis of the insurgency in the North East, had also blamed Mr. Sheriff for the growth of Boko Haram in a report. Chadian President Connection An Australian negotiator, Stephen Davis, recently named Mr. Sheriff, alongside former Nigerian Army Chief, Azubuike Ihejirika, as sponsors of the Boko Haram sect, quoting the sect’s leadership. Nigeria’s intelligence authorities have been equivocal on the role of Mr. Ihejirika in promoting the deadly sect whose bloody campaign have killed up to 5000 Nigerians and left many homeless, broken and internally displaced, but they have lately spoken of the Chadian president, Mr. Deby, as a new dimension to the Boko Haram sponsorship dynamics. In 2011, a strong Boko Haram army was also beneficial to the Chadian president, as it provided a “ready army and possible refuge” for a president that was facing growing distrust from his legitimate army, Nigerian intelligence officials claimed. The Chadian president’s support for the sect was made majorly through his friendship with Mr. Sheriff and at the expense of his country’s relationship with Nigeria, the report said. Transformed sect Violence by the Boko Haram sect, which had only religious interest in the past, is traceable to the five days of clashes in July 2009, between the group and members of the security forces in Borno, Yobe, Bauchi, and Kano states that left more than 800 people dead, including at least 30 police officers. The police summarily executed the captured Boko Haram leader, Mohammed Yusuf, along with several dozen of his followers in front of the police headquarters in Maiduguri. Dozens of its members were also arrested. Boko Haram frequently said its attacks on the government, especially the police, are in revenge for these killings and an attempt to set free members incarcerated by the police. Recently, the ideology behind Boko Haram attacks got more confusing with increasing attacks on schools, media houses and almost any soft target with wide media reach. The group has gotten bolder by the day and has shown interest in capturing and occupying cities it calls its Caliphates. The sect has overrun towns and villages, including Mubi, Michika, Bazza, Gulak, Gwoza, Bama, Gamboru and Ngala in Adamawa and Borno states. Ngala is the home place Mr. Sheriff.

| Celebrities / (must Read) Popular Nigerian Celebrities Recount How They Lost Their Vi*ginity by Akinife(m): 11:11pm On Aug 06, 2014 |
UCHE OGBODO- I Lost My Vi*ginity At The Age of 20 How did you lose your vi*ginity? “As I said earlier, I met my first boyfriend at 20. I came from a Christian home and was trained by Christian parents. My father made sure we imbibed the Christian values and this helped me very much in my career as an actress. I actually thought that as a Nollywood actress I was ripe enough to have a boyfriend and this will make me feel more sophisticated. I did not lose my vi*ginity to an actor, you know.” How did you lose it? “I did not stumble on losing my vi*ginity, I was ready for it and I knew what I was getting into. ” How did you feel as a woman after losing your vi*ginity? “I was ready, I felt like I was ready to bring the world down. I felt like whatever it is, bring it on.” FOLUKE DARAMOLA- I Lost My Vi*ginity To a Mol ester “…. I intend to talk about things that people just take for granted: for instance, a frigid woman in a marriage or a frigid lady that has been molested. I have been a victim of that, so I understand what it feels like.” You mean you have been a victim of molest? “Yes, my first introduction to s*x was molest. I talk about it when I have to. I was deflowered by a Mol ester. These are things people don’t talk about.” LAIDE BAKARE- My First intimate Experience At 21 Was Horrible When did you start having s*x? “I didn’t start having s*x at early age. It took me a very long time even though it was something I had always been looking forward to. I looked up to it almost three years before I eventually had s*x. It wasn’t a nice experience with my first boyfriend. We dated for six years and we had s*x after four years of our relationship. I was 18 when I met my first boyfriend. I was still a vi*gin then, even while in the movie industry for close to three years. I think the first time I had s*x I was about 21 years old. It was what I had been looking forward to, but it wasn’t`t a nice experience.” OMOTOLA EKEINDE- I Was Still A Vi*gin When I Got Married “Given my mum’s stern attitude, it is natural to think I didn’t date anybody before I got married. But, that’s not the case. I had boyfriends before I met my husband but it’s not something too deep as people may think nowadays. You just go out and have lunch together and all the rest of it. As for deep my affairs went before I met my husband, it is just to say that I got married as a vi*gin, so that answers the rest of the question.” Omotola’s husband seem to have buttressed his wife’s earlier assertion when he responded thus in an interview: “Hmmm! Truly and honestly, I can’t forget the very first day I made love to my wife.” BENITA NZERIBE- I Lost Mine At The University Virgin? You asked that question very direct. And if the truth must be told, I was a vi*gin all through secondary school, the juniorate until I entered the university. But one had great moral upbringing.” ICE PRINCE- I Had My First Kiss @13; Molested By An Aunty ‘I had my first kiss when I was 13,’ the rapper said coyly, while speaking with a reporter from Pulse. This is a throwback to a 2012 interview where the rapper also revealed that he was Molested by an aunt when he was 13. ‘I had my first intimate encounter. I would not say it was a good thing at all. It’s something I regret, whatever it was. It wasn’t a sweet experience at all. I had this aunty, though we were not related, she was just a neighbour who was living close to us, who came into my room and slept with me.’ ‘It wasn’t a good experience at all. I was scared, very scared. I saw hell. It was a terrible experience. I am not excited talking about it at all. s*x is not that good. I think s*x is over-rated. I don’t know. ‘She just came into my room and just forced me to do it with her… Oh, let’s not talk about it. I was so young and innocent. But she made me lose my innocence. The woman is still alive. I don’t think I have even seen her since then,” Ice Prince revealed in the interview…. PETER & PAUL (PSQUARE)- We Had Our First sex At 14 & 15 Respectively They claimed to first know what s*x was at 14 and 15-years respectively. As for Peter,“I had my first experience in 1993 at the age of 14. At first, I felt terrible that I let a woman seduce me. Later, I realised that it didn’t matter and I enjoyed it.” Paul had this to say,“for me, it was 1994 and I was 15 at the time. The first time was kind of strange. I thought the poor girl would get pregnant immediately and I’d become a father.”As the thought of what we had done raced through my head, I became afraid, but felt better when I realised I had used a condom.” DONA DIVA- I Cried As It Was Painful Fast rising singer Dona had this to say: What was it like the first time you had s*x? “You say wetin? (laughter) It was a lot of crying because it was painful. The same thing I think for every girl.” IYABO OJO- I Had My First Boyfriend At 18 In SS3 “….I relate with their father. I do not talk about it because I give respect to my children, it is their privacy and they want to keep it private. Like I said, we were not just compatible, I met him and in a very short period of time, we got married. We really did not have much time to date. I was 21 years old then. In less than three months, I was pregnant and in less than six months, I was married to him. It was a very short period of time. We basically got married because of the pregnancy. We did not want to have the baby out of wedlock. We got married and we later discovered that there was some part of him that I did not like and there were certain things about me that he did not also like. We were not friends and that was the disadvantage. He was not my first, he was actually my third. I feel apart with my first boyfriend. My second boyfriend, we did not get intimate. So my ex was actually the second but my third boyfriend. I was young, I had my first boyfriend when I was in SS3 and I was about 18 years old. Then we broke up and I had somebody else. We were more like brothers and sisters in Christ so we really did not have any intimate relationship. Then, I met my ex- husband. He was the second man I was intimate with when it came to a relationship. I was young and the kind of life he wanted was to be married and still live the bachelor life while I wanted him to be married and stay at home. That was were we started having issues and problems but we are still friends. He still communicates with his kids.” LIZ ANJORIN- I Had My First Boyfriend At 21 Who was your first boyfriend? “The father of my daughter was my first boyfriend. We were very young then. He was 23, I was 21 years old.” Weren’t you worried when you got pregnant for him. Didn’t you think of aborting the baby? “I didn’t even know I was pregnant then. It was my mother that found out. Remember I was her only child and she had me in her old age. She was so happy about my pregnancy. She was just pampering me. Left for her, she would have wanted me to have a child at the age of 12. She also would have loved me to have more than 10 children. My boyfriend’s mother also knew I was pregnant. She too was happy. She had five children then. My boyfriend was even the last born and the other siblings were yet to give her a grandchild. She was eager to have me and the baby. In fact, she and my mother were dragging over who would take care of my daughter.” SHAN GEORGE- I Married At 16 Shan got married at a tender age of 16 years and the marriage immediately produced 2 boys be for she walked out of the union. “…I married once and my two kids are for my first husband. I read on some blogs that I had a child out of wedlock and I have been hiding it. But I wonder if I got married at the age of 16, at what age did I have that child? I was so young when I walked out of my first marriage to pursue my education. Later on, as an adult, I got married again. |

If u think it is your alarm clock that woke you up this morning, try putting it beside a dead body and you will realise that it is the Grace of God that woke you up. If you are grateful to God, type "Thank You lord " to show that it JUST BY THE GRACE OF GOD that we are alive |
