Everything is not Jazz. The lady surely possess something that traps men to her domot.

May be that's why the current leaders are looting like there is no tomorrow.

As long as Oloye continues to dole out the usual #50 and a plate of amala, who cares where governorship seat is zoned to.

[size=14pt]How we are coping, by Balewa’s eldest son[/size]
Muhammad Abubakar and Ahmed Mohammed, Bauchi.

In commemoration of Nigeria’s 50th Independence Anniversary, Daily Trust had a chat with the eldest son of the late Prime Minister of Nigeria, ALHAJI BABA ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA. In the interview held in his residence situated along Bakin Kura Street in Bauchi in Hausa language, the son of the late trained teacher and politician touched on a number of issues relating to the death of the late P. M. and the family he left behind. Excerpts:



Your father the late Prime Minister of Nigeria died about 44 years ago. How is the family he left behind coping with life?

Alhamdu Lillahi (We thank God). We have nothing to say but thank Allah (God) for his mercies. We believe that everything is in the hands of God. Whatever our experiences, whether good or bad, we thank God for surviving this long, through the last years.

As the eldest son you must have learnt one or two things from the late Prime Minister. What lesson can you say you have learnt from your late father that has still remained with you?

He taught me a lot of things but the one that has heavily made an impact on me was his advice that if I ever wanted anything in life I should rely on God to seek that from Him. That is why I have never bothered myself to go to anybody for any assistance. However things are changing these days; some of our younger ones are beginning to see this stance as a weakness, so we will wait and see how the situation will be.

Have you, in the last 44 years since the demise of your father received any form of assistance from the government, whether state or federal?

Well, we thank God. We receive some form of assistance from the federal government and the government of Bauchi State. These are the ones I know of so far. If there are others, they have not yet reached us.

Are these governments assisting the family monthly?

Well, I think this question should go to the government concerned. I know you may ask me how much they are giving us, which I cannot really say.

How many children did your father leave behind and how many are still alive?

He left behind four wives but three of them died leaving one who is still alive. He left behind 19 children but three have died. We now have eight males and eight females left as his children and his surviving wife.

Many people are coming out to say they are members of your family…

This thing started a long ago, since he was alive around 1962. I remember there were two boys in Lagos who made similar claim. In my own opinion I think it is his popularity that causes this (laugh). We have tried in our own way to stop this but it still continues. I think there are people who will want to take advantage of the popularity of our late father for their own selfish interest. My belief is that God will continue to protect his name.

Is the family planning to guard against future impersonation of the children of the late Prime Minister?

We have no intention of taking any action like going to court because it is something we believe will keep recurring. My belief is that a time will come when these people will get tired and stop.

In what way do you think governments should take care of the families of our past leaders, those who were the founding fathers of the country?

In my own opinion, the families of these people should be catered for so that they will live comfortably. I am not saying they should be given money. No, because a child that is given money just like that may end up misusing it. In our own case our father advised us to rely on God and this has greatly impacted on the children he left behind. Many of us are self reliant now because of our father’s advice that we should seek anything from Allah. We should not give money alone because that has the tendency of spoiling our children. Just provide them with the basic necessities like food and the wherewithal to go to school and become good citizens. The most important thing is to attend to the basic needs of their children and family so that they can attend school in peace.

Recently, some people questioned how your father died. Do you really have information as to how he died?

Such talks will never end. Some people will always come up with wild allegations. All we know is that he had returned to his God and we pray that God will forgive him and make Aljannah his abode. It is only God that knows what happened to him. What happened had happened. We believe that sensible people will always shun these kinds of talks. God knows best.

How many people do you know so far who have claimed to be your father’s children?

Like I told you earlier I know of three people including those two boys I told you about in Lagos in the early 60s.

[size=14pt]LOVE WAR[/size]
Lebanese, Briton battle over Nigerian lady
• He snatched my wife, two kids, says Yatim
• I’m only assisting her, he couldn’t pay kids’ school fees -Wood
BY MATTHEW DIKE

•Juliet and Wood


A battleline has been drawn between a Lebanese and a Briton resident in Nigeria. Their quarrel is over a Nigerian lady, Juliet and her two children, who the Lebanese is laying claims to. The Romeos are really at war with each other over Juliet. The angry Lebanese, Walid Yatim, is alleging that the Briton, Mike Wood, snatched his wife and took custody of his two children.

He has even threatened a showdown, with the ‘intruder’ if he fails to hands off and let his family be. According to Yatim, he married Juliet on March 24, 2005, at Apapa Marriage Registry, Lagos. The marriage is said to have been blessed with two girls, Serina, four, and Sonia, two.

The aggrieved Lebanese said he was ready to call it quits with the marriage but vowed not to allow another man to adopt or claim his children while he is still alive. He narrated how his estranged wife, on two occasions, attempted to use scissors and razor blade to kill him.

“I was sleeping one day and woke up to see her holding a razor blade, which she wanted to use to attack me. I managed to collect it from her. She used a plank to hit me on the head. Another problem I had with her was as a result of the children. She was not taking care of them. One day, she told me how people were making jest of her, saying she married a white man and had nothing to show for it. So, I gave her N50, 000 to buy things for herself.
“That was when she was pregnant of my first daughter. I had to rent a flat for them. I even assisted her brothers and sisters, when they needed some money. She fought me everyday and threatened to kill me. But I must say that I had both good and bad times with her.

Our problem began when Juliet failed to treat me as her husband. Strange visitors, both men and women, usually filled her room. “I go to work at 1 pm and returned at about 4 am. I tried to stop them from visiting her but she told them not to listen to me, saying I was a stupid man. I took her to Lebanon and we spent about N1.5 million. I need my children. She made the children to bear another surname. They can bear Walid or Yatim but not Vincent. Vincent is my wife’s surname. I don’ t understand the meaning of that,” Yatim fumed.

The marriage certificate with registration number 103262 made available to Daily Sun showed that it was actually contracted at Apapa Local Government, Apapa, Lagos on March 24, 2005. Juliet, who is playing the cupid, has, however, debunked the allegation of attempted murder against her. Daily Sun also went to Apapa police station to inquire if Yatim reported any case of attempted murder or threat to his life against Juliet. The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Mr. Mohammed Ali, a Chief Superintendent, who identified the couple, explained that it took him time to make peace between the couple.

Narrating what transpired between them, Juliet told Daily Sun on phone that Yatim abandoned her and the children and travelled to Lebanon where he stayed for about two years. According to her, during that period, he never cared to know whether the children were feeding or going to school. But Yatim denied the allegation, saying he was always giving her a monthly allowance of $700, which he claimed to have sent through the Western Union Money Transfer.

But when she was asked how she spent the money. Juliet screamed: “Yeeeh! Jesus Christ o! Which dollars? It’s a lie (laughs). Why did he treat me like that? Is it because I’m a Nigerian woman that made him think he could do anything and go scot-free?”

The leadership of Kwara state has been permanently zoned to the Sarakis.

[size=14pt]Kwara: Mr Saraki Out, Ms Saraki In?[/size]
Posted: December 9, 2010 - 16:31


By SOC Okenwa


When few years ago the former Governor of Kwara State, Mohammed Lawal, died in a foreign hospital after a 'protracted illness', tongues started wagging as whether his death was of normal natural cause or caused by other factors chiefly human. From some quarters accusing fingers were pointed at the Saraki dominating political dynasty in Ilorin as possibly being behind his demise.

The late Lawal was helped to power in Kwara State by the godfatherism of Olusola Saraki as others before him. Soon after, like what we have been witnessing lately (Nwobodo vs Nnamani, Nnamani vs Chime in Enugu; Orji Kalu vs Ohakim in Imo; Orji Kalu vs Theodore Orji in Abia etc) Lawal fell out with his powerful godfather who made sure his biological son Bukola governed Kwara like the lucky son of Igbinedion did gracelessly in Edo State.

https://www.saharareporters.com/sites/default/files/page_images/articles/2010/gbemisola_saraki_buba_iro.jpg?1291908641
Gbemi Ole-Saraki



In the city of Ilorin in particular and Kwara State in general, it is about the Sarakis; almost everything has to do with the Saraki political dynasty. Gov. Bukola Saraki, Senator Gbemi Saraki and now we are facing the prospects of a Gov. Gbemi Saraki in the next dispensation! Are we to believe, then, that only a Saraki is worthy enough to continue 'the good work' of another Saraki? One cannot but envy this oligarchy that assumes that only the family has the solution to every problem Kwaran, that is, only the members of the family has the intellect to rule Kwara. What happened to zoning in Kwara State? Is there not another senatorial district apart from the one where the Sarakis hail that deserves a shot at ruling Kwara?

The head of this Ilorin oligarchy, ex-Senator Olusola Saraki is an organized ruthless but generous politician who took his time to construct one of the well-organized intimidating political dynasties in Nigeria. He has got the money, the influence, the fame and the contacts to push things around no matter the odds. His 'godfathership' is one exercised with awe and fascination. He commands and controls his 'troops' effortlessly and like the late Lamidi Adedibu, the demon of Molete, he dispenses favours with ease bearing in mind that the downtrodden are hungry and poverty-stricken. So a carefully-woven image of a 'friend of the poor' is projected daily towards winning the minds and souls of the poor masses in and around Ilorin with the aim of conquering the conquerable and maintaining a dominance that seems unchallengable.

Dr Olusola Saraki has since 'anointed' his Senator-daughter Gbemisola for the 2011 gubernatorial race in the state. The strong-man of Kwara politics finally endorsed her after 'much pressure' from the people of the state. When we know how power-greedy 'Oloye' and his family are then it is not surprising that the old man was purportedly 'dancing' to the tune of the people's wishes for a female governor. If she eventually wins she will become the first elected female Governor in Nigeria (not minding Dame Virgy Etiaba who replaced Gov. Peter Obi temporarily in Anambra State after the latter was illegally impeached out of office by scoundrels led by Mike Balonwu).

The present Governor of the State whose tenure runs till May 2011 was one of the four northern presidential aspirants 'screened' by the Adamu Ciroma-led 'wise men' who sought to choose a 'consensus candidate' from the north who will challenge the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan in the PDP primaries in the spirit of 'zoning' which they are defending and upholding against the popular will of majority of Nigerians -- even in the north. Gov. Saraki took 'third' position behind the eventual winner, ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-military dictator Ibrahim Babangida. They have all decided to abide by the decision of the Ciroma-led group collapsing their various campaign structures to form one solid one behind Atiku.

Good news and a shame to us Africans all together. How many Ghananians or other foreign nationals can become a common counselor in Nigeria talk-less of going to Abuja to represent a constituency he arrived as an immigrant?. How do we celebrate what we know too well that we can't possibly give to others?. His wife is very pretty tho.

[size=14pt]Police accuse man of killing brothers to become LG chairman[/size]

Tunde Odesola, Osogbo
Wednesday, December 8, 2010

A 48-year-old man, Alhaji Musa Ayanleke, was on Tuesday arraigned by the police at an Osogbo Magistrate's Court.





http://odili.net/news/source/2010/dec/8/814.html


The one-count charge read in court alleged that the suspect killed his brothers, Tunde Ayanleke, and Ayanbanji Ayanleke, for ritual purposes in a bid to become the chairman of a local government council.

According to the charge sheet, the suspect committed the offence on July 21, 2010, in Ipetumodu area of Osun State at 3am.

The charge sheet averred that the alleged offence was punishable under Section 316 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Osun State, 2004.

Musa' lawyer, Mr. Remi Ayodele, raised an objection to the allegation levelled against the suspect, saying that magic and ritualism were unknown to law.

Ayodele said the suspect had been in police custody since December 1, 2010, stressing that no charge was preferred against him until the date of arraignment.

He added that the two persons the suspect was alleged to have killed were his brothers, one of whom he trained personally and got a job for.

Urging the court to strike out the case, Ayodele pleaded with the court to stop the police from arresting Musa.

He also urged the court to order the police to produce the case file.

The prosecutor, Mr. Benjamin Akindoyin, objected Ayodele's request that the case should be struck out but agreed that the case file should be produced.

The Magistrate, Mr. Olalekan Ijiyode, ordered that the original case file must be submitted by December 8, 2010.

Ijiyode, who adjourned the case till December 9, 2010, also ordered that Musa be remanded in police custody.

^^^^^^you should simply teach your kids that people are different and that they may see and discover things out there that may be new/strange or plain weird to them. expecting people to change THEIR lives so that YOU and YOUR kids would be happy is 
they dont have to go outside to see"different" behaviors, they can just put on the TV.

we all have the rights to live our live the best we can and how we see fit. who are you to decide what anyone can or cannot do? its called democracy!

btw: here is something you should tell the women in SA. there is celebration in SA (the Zulu royal reed dance) where young teenage virgins dance half unclothed and which is completely NORMAL to them, whilst i can find MANY people around the world who are OUTRAGED by the act.
bunch of hypocrites!

ps: already answered your question

No its not completely normal to them. That is the weird practice in Lesotho where women are subdued and forced to take part in that indecent culture for the enjoyment of immoral men like you.
My child has the right to live free and not riddled by a bunch of a$$ grabbers in our streets. It is his/her right to live free and not a privilege.

Will your girl and you crotch-grab each other in the streets of Nigeria especially the north?. If the practice is okay, why won't you do it in Nigerian streets?

@alloy-wheels
just open your mind and look right here on NL where some women have absolutely no problem with the act.  duh!

pls dont misunderstand/misquote what i wrote:
A) i never said or wrote that ALL women enjoy the act.

B) as we can clearly see by how YOU feel about the issue, we understand that YOU and some people out there dont like what they are doing. thats your views and you are entitled to them, BUT to make it sound like this is what ALL people believe or should do is not only ABSURD but also CHILDISH.

C) let everyone decide AND do what THEY think is best for their lives, as long as it aint anything criminal or dangerous. 

Isn't this behavior somewhat criminal?. There were children walking the street when this a$$ grabbing by baba nla happened. `You are yet to answer my question about how you will feel if women grab your crotch in public .

Sagamite:
I am not too sure but I think what they have done so far is perform blessings of the union, not undertake a wedding activity.

And as far as I am aware, this was conducted by maverick individual pastors (who are also gay) and not approved by the senior clergy.

oK, you are right.

Which one do you prefer?. Please vote.

Coke or Pepsi or Canada Dry or Dr Pepper?

Sometimes I feel u guys just say things to pull Igbo forumers' legs here.

Sometimes, it is beyond the pulling of legs. they pull their crotches too.

Sagamite:
Neither is there gay marriage in Xtianity.

Try again.

Very true but some Christian churches like the church of England/Episcopal[USA]/Anglican[RSA] and some pentecostal churches performs gay marriage which I agree it's against the tenets of Christianity. May be he drew his conclusion from the gay rituals seen in the church of England.

@sagamite:
you're absolutely correct. they'll want all of those things you've listed and more. they'll start flaunting it in public - like kissing and derriere-grabbing, disrespecting the public at-large and not minding our children. this is the kind crap going on in the west and in south africa

@MrBLowJob, this was written by angry Naija woman since you believe that all women enjoy a$$ grabbing in public.

donkarly:
it is against our culture(which we proudly hold dearly) as africans unlike the westerners who have no culture.
it may not affect us directly as individuals but one way or the other the whole system must be affected.

Says who?. Culture is defines as a way of life. So, are you saying that westerners do not have a language and way of life?. You are the one who is writing in their language yet you claim they have no culture. Duh!!!.

Aloy na confirmed Okpo 
If he does not grab Jolies butt as5 na your own e for grab?
Btwn,how do we even know if Jolie didnt start the game(playing with his fly) and we cant even see whats shes grabbing with her other hand 

You don't know who started it and how she likes it for sure. Jolie herself is a freak and may be she will be in tune with such behavior but generally, grabbing women in public is very irresponsible and it doesn't matter if the woman is your wife or girlfriend. If you don't see any problem with a man grabbing you in public, then you need a reality check.

MRbrownJAY:
@aloy
since you are miss Jolie's representant when it comes to bootay grabbing affairs and you are SURE that she didnt like it, here a few picture for you to dwell on:
pic1: jolie grabbing HIS package with a smile
pic2: Pitt doing exactly the same thing long before (check Jolie's HUGE grin)
ps: give it up, you are wrong on this one. they are a happy bootay grabbing couple, and have no problem with the act!

There is a difference between grabbing and placing a hand on someone's a$$, homie. You didn't answer my question: How will you feel if your woman grabs your weenie and yank it up, down , left and right while grinning to photographers in public?.
