Musiwa17: this is really a small number.. it should be over 200 when you know the population of lawyers nigeria has. it is too small

nigeria produce more than 5000 lawyer a year including those abroad that return home, only 2 northerners on it.

okosodo: Hausa people dey wound us non stop 4 dis country

chidindufrank: GEJ is the anointed one. No GEJ,No Nigeria.

Nnanna nzewi: Amaechi is a saleout and the northerners will use him and dump him.he is finished politically.I pity him.

chronique: Once again,God bless these brave hearts. I can now start believing gradually that there are human beings in the north worth calling humans. This is what we've been asking our northern/muslim brothers to do so we can believe that Islam is not totally about violence.

samkoro: u have a dead brain, baseless evidence

You are right because he is too sociable.But the real people breeding,training ,sponsoring and supporting the terrorists are Mohammadu Buhari,Bola Tinubu and Liar Mohammed.They even built political parties( A.C.N, CPC) and hotels (oriental foe these terrorists.

If u say I'm lying,let me ask.

Who has Oriental hotel?

Who promised monkeys and baboons to see blood?

Who gave a speech to his supporters and Almajiris in the North .Motivating them to defend their votes.His almajiri supporters approached Buhari to give consent to their intension to kill in protest.We all saw some 14 yrs old boys weilding sticks and dagger4.

Who protested against the recent deployment of troops and state of emergency? Are they not northern elders,Tinubu,Mohammed Buhari and lie Mohammed.

Why was Buhari chosen by the Bokoharam to dialogue for them before he declined.?

Nigerians have poor memory.We seem to have forgotten the tears,sorrow and agony caused by the blood spilled by the actions and words of these men.

We will always criticise the government for doing things right or wrong.

Please,let me ask.

When did rocket propelled grenades become devices for hunting bush rabbits?I'm still trying to solve this mathematics.

noblezone: I don't care whether Buhari killed Igbo officers, civilians or not!

This is not 1966, this is 2013!

BUHARI cannot and must not rule Nigeria! It is as simple as that!

From 1960 till today, only a few men had held this useless jungle of a country to ransom.
Enough is enough!

berem: Jonathan Did Not Buy Plane For Me-says Oritsejafor

National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, for the first time, publicly dismissed criticisms that continued to trail his acquisition of a private jet with some critics claiming that the gift may have come from the Presidency.


The founder/senior pastor of Word of Life Bible Church, Warri emphatically declared that President Goodluck Jonathan did not contribute a dime for the jet.

Receiving a delegation of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Delta State chapter in his Word of Life Bible Church, Warri, last Sunday, Pastor Oritsejafor said the private jet was presented to him on November 10, 2012, by church members within and outside the country in commemoration of his 40th year on the pulpit.

He maintained that over 90 per cent of the funds came from members of the church while the rest was donated by his spiritual children across the globe.

The NLC delegation was in the church for a thanksgiving service in preparation for Workers' Day which held nationwide on Wednesday.

Speaking during that service, Pastor Oritsejafor, arguably one of the greatest philanthropists in the country and perhaps the first CAN president to spend his personal resources to run the CAN secretariat, maintained that concerned members of his congregation and some of his children decided to donate the jet in appreciation of the suffering he underwent whenever he travelled in and out of Nigeria preaching the gospel.

"Word of Life members miss me, my family misses me greatly and appreciating the trauma of connecting flights across the globe; they decided to constitute a committee to raise funds for the purchase of the jet. They reached out to some of my children in and out of the country who generously donated to the course," he explained.

Oritsejafor challenged the Labour leaders to endeavour to do their investigations and if possible use their connections in government to ask President Jonathan if he contributed any kobo to the purchase of the jet, noting "why will people just set out to disparage persons without verifying their facts."

The cleric said given the nature of his work, a plane had become a necessity, wondering why people were deliberately silent on his annual empowerment programmes in the Niger Delta and his numerous reach-out projects to victims of Boko Haram violence in the North, but decided to malign his person.

"My records are there at the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, which I led for eight years for anybody to verify just as people are free to come to the CAN Secretariat to make their independent investigat-ions," he stated, adding "I pay for all my bills as CAN president," he stated.

He also defended his call for the arrest of CPC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) whose comments during the 2011 electioneering campaigns are believed to have precipitated the post-election violence that followed the announcement of results of the election.

The CAN president had come under tremendous criticism over the plane with Catholic Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah describing him as an embarrassment to Christianity while former Congress for Progressive Change, CPC vice presidential candidate, Pastor Tunde Bakare, said clergymen like him, taking advantage of their congregations, and buying private jets, deserved to go to jail.

The CPC spokesman, Rotimi Fashakin recently said that President Goodluck Jonathan on November 10, 2012, rewarded the CAN helmsman with the gift of a Bombardier Private jet.

eGuerrilla: This is not a wise decision, in my opinion.
But I will hold off from making any further comments till there is confirmation from a different source, as I simply don't trust the tribune any longer.

SLIDE waxie: Well, they can wipe off the north for all i care!
These guys knw wo these BH are and they kept mute like they dnt knw.
These dudes are someone's husbands and relatives, they just decided not to point them out!

And wen d JTF shoots a town down, they will always cry 'civilian'.

Kill them all!!!!!!
I repeat: kill them all!!!!
Over and out to my peppersoup joint!

abdulkayus: c dis illitrate. Callin Kano and Katsina parasitic state. I think ur state is even more parasitic dan dem cos Northern states still produce agricultural products dat all of us benefit frm and contribute to d nation GDP.
Stop showin ur stupidity to d world dude. Get educated.

mu2sa2: BBc is owned by the British govt and has been broadcasting in hausa language for over half a century. Whether we like it or not Hausa is an international language, spoken by native speakers across west africa. It is for this reason that BBc chose Hausa. Yoruba and Igbo are local champions - no native indigenous speakers outside nigeria (except maybe Benin republic which has a small yoruba population).

ezeagu: Hausa is not the second most spoken language in Africa, I guess you guys mean language stemming mostly from Africa?

The reason why there's not Igbo or Yoruba service is because there's no audience for it. If Yoruba and Igbo people really wanted their own BBC service they'd have one.

van bonattel: It will never sell, the xtians will see it as an insult, and as at the last time I checked, xtians are up to 50% of this country.

BeraBera: Meaning they are yet to determine, since Friday? hmmmmm

Meanwhile, may God continue to preserve her life and those of our good leaders in this country.

smartmom: The Cross River State Police Command has arrested a man, identified as Ekemini Bassey for allegedly killing his father, a retired University of Calabar lecturer, Prof. Nathaniel Bassey, to claim his N40m gratuity.

Ekemini’s brother, Odiong Bassey, is also wanted by the police for being an accomplice in the alleged murder.

PUNCH Metro learnt on Saturday that the duo had been having a running battle with their late father, who was not pleased with their recent negative behaviours.

A family source, who pleaded anonymity, said Ekemini and Odiong, who are university drop-outs, had been making frivolous financial demands on their late father.

PUNCH Metro further learnt that the retired lecturer was said to have complained to some of his colleagues that his children were intimidating him into borrowing money to meet their demands, which did not go down well with him.
If a proper DNA test was carried out, you will find out that, is not his biological child

Police sources told our correspondent that things, however, became tense in the house after the boys got clues that their father was due to be paid N40m.

One of the sources said, “Ekemini confessed that they got some clues that their father, who was teaching on contract basis after his retirement, was about to be paid his benefits and gratuity of over N40m and they decided to kill him so that the money would be paid to them as the next of kin.”

The sources added that Ekemini confessed during interrogation that they stabbed their father three times in different parts of the body and stuffed his mouth with old newspapers so that he would not cry for help.

It was learnt that penultimate week, Ekemini and his brother killed their father and tactically dropped a knife beside him to create the impression that their father committed suicide out of frustration.

Luck, however, ran out of the brothers after Ekemini hired an ambulance to convey the father’s corpse to Nsit-Ubium in Akwa Ibom State for burial. He was accosted by security agents, who were brought by some senior staff of the university.

A source at the university said, “On getting wind of the death of the lecturer, the university security authorities swung into action and arrested Ekemini while his brother took off to unknown destination.”

In a blood chilling story, the fact that naija is gradually turning into the Westrn world is highlighte in the story below!


When PUNCH Metro visited the state Criminal Investigation Department in Calabar, it was learnt that Ekeminin was being interrogated and as at the time of filing this report, Ekeminin was still with the police interrogators for his role in the alleged murder of his father.

UNICAL’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration, Prof. James Utsalo, said, “Well, we cannot comment on the matter because it is a criminal case and police are handling it, so we are still awaiting the official report. Besides, the autopsy report is not out; when it is out we will know what killed him.”

The Officer-in-Charge, Homicide unit of the State CID, Mr. Joseph Inuyashi, confirmed the incident, saying investigation on the matter was ongoing.

He said the police were still on the trail of Odiong, who is on the run
