SHOCKING: 10 Nigerian Pilgrims Die in Mecca – NAHCON Category: REPORTS Published on Monday, 29 September 2014 14:14 By Dahiru Mohammed Lawal Ten Nigerians in Saudi Arabia performing this year’s hajj rites have Monday been confirmed dead, by the Coordinator of the National Hajj Commission in Mecca, Aliyu Tanko.

Jambsupport: ds deal is very shady. why wud they hire d private jet of d CAN president? was d intention to manipulate it as Church money or to implicate him? i dont tink all ds wud happen and Jonathan wont have a foreknowledge.we are eagerly waiting for the truth! |
berem: Hungry TANoids trying to accuse Sambo Dasuki of the crime. This does not prove anything at all!some of us are not in the game of insulting people,God has blessed us with a decent job that takes care of our bills and even some for leisure but i understand you are on a paid contract by some bitter politicians to always defend them online and insult people with contrary opinion...but even among criminals,there is honour,you ve totally sold your conscience to the dogs and all you are left with is abject profanity! |
...there is obvious conspiracy in this whole issue,initial reports suggest that the two Nigerians in the plane were yorubas but as expected the south-west press in conjunction with the Islamic North,are doing everything possible to turn around the real situation just to get at CAN,its leadership and the president. How else can one explain the situation where the media is tactically avoiding mentioning the Natl security adviser,chief of defence staff et al...or because they are nt their usual suspects Igbos or Niger-Deltans.we all are witness to the pressure piled on Gen Azazi and Gen Ihejirika whenever there is any perceived breach of duty but the media and the so called opposition party(APC) has suddenly forgotten that we have a National security adviser....Nigeria I hail thee!!! Ha ha ha,so much of a nation suffering from selective amnesia. |
What does Sambo Dasuki know about the $9.5m arms deal? Category: ARTICLES Published on Sunday, 28 September 2014 20:38 By Ogbuefi Blogs A lot has been written about the $9.3 million contained in a private aircraft from Nigeria to South Africa seized recently, but no one mentioned any thing about the role of our National Security Adviser. Nor has anyone revealed the identity of the two Nigerians arrested with the smuggled dollars. Moreover, the allegation 'that along with the pastor, President Goodluck Jonathan and the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, coordinated the movement of the cash, and that its original destination was Cyprus, not South Africa', has neither been confirmed nor denied. Egheomhanre Eyieyien wrote: #PresidentJonathanSackColSaboDasukiNow! Col. Sabo Dasuki, the National Security Adviser, is a SABOteur. He is working against President Goodluck Jonathan. He is the Number One Fifth Columnist in the Presidency. His disloyalty is evident. There are questions which Col. Sabo Dasuki must answer: 1. Why did Col. Sabo Dasuki engage arms dealers and pay them $9.3million in cash to purchase arms? 2. Did Col. Sabo Dasuki keep the President in the know regarding the transaction? 3. What did Gen. Aliyu Gusau, the Minister of Defence and a brother-in-law to Col. Sabo Dasuki, know about the transaction? 4. There are over 300 private jets in Nigeria and several airplanes in the Presidential Fleet, why did Col. Sabo Dasuki choose to hire the private jet owned by Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), which was being operated for charter services by a leasing company, to transport the arms dealers and the $9.3million cash to South Africa for the botched transaction? 5. Why did Col. Sabo Dasuki leak the transaction to the Nigerian press? 6. Why did Col. Sabo Dasuki not inform the South African authorities that he was sending people to purchase weapons for the Nigerian Government? 7. Who is Col. Sabo Dasuki REALLY working for? Nigeria is bigger than Col. Sabo Dasuki and his treachery. He has proven his gross incompetence and ineptitude. President Goodluck Jonathan should sack Col. Sabo Dasuki NOW! www.elombah.com |
....enemies working relentlessly to see that there is division in the body of christ in Nigeria!...our press boys doing what they know how to do best,a little brown envelop,they will easily put up a sensational headline that will suit their benefactor! No wonder our journalists are regarded as press boys by international media!!! |

Saturday September 27th, 2014 $9.3m arms deal: Catholic Bishops exonerate Oritsejaforon September 27, 2014 at 6:48 am in News By CALEB AYANSINA ABUJA – CATHOLIC Church, weekend, described as malicious and misleading, a media report that the Church chided the President of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor over the 9.3million arms deal in South Africa. Some Nigerian Newspapers had on Thursday 25th September 2014, and suggesting that Most Rev. Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, the President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) accused Pastor Ayo Ortistejafor of denting the image of the Christian Association of Nigeria over the case of the jet that was found with $9.3milion allegedly owned by the CAN President. Oritsejafor and wife Reacting to this in a statement in Abuja, the Director (Social Communications Directorate), Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria Rev. Fr. Chris Anyanwu said “the report is not only false and malicious but a calculated attempt to further sow the seed of disharmony between Catholics and the leadership of CAN. “While we disassociate ourselves from the newspaper reports, it is important to put the records in the right perspective. The statement explained that Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama granted an interview with the Hausa BBC Service in Kaduna in which he condemned money laundering. It added that Kaigama never, in the said interview, cast any aspersion on the person of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), but called for dispassionate investigation into the matter. According to Anyanwu, “Reporters who monitored the said interview in Hausa BBC Service totally misrepresented the Archbishop by misquoting him. ” Knowing the person of Archbishop Kaigama as a man who is committed to ecumenism and inter-religious dialogue, there is no way he can make such an inflammatory statement against the leadership of CAN which is capable of causing dissections among the CAN family. “It was amazing to read such sensational headlines as ‘Ayo Oritsejafor is disgracing CAN’ – Catholic Bishops of Nigeria’, ‘Oritsejafor has dragged Christianity to the mud – Bishop Kaigama’, ‘Bishop blasts Oritsejafor for playing politics with CAN’. The statement explained that “This is unfortunate, inciteful, unpatriotic and uncharitable. It looks like some people have problems with the person of Pastor Oritsejafor and wanted as the saying goes ‘to borrow the mouth of Archbishop Kaigama to chop their onions’. “It appears that some people are hell-bent on setting the Catholic Church against the rest of CAN. Some want to use unfortunate situations to promote their fortunes. “Yes the Catholic Bishops did in the past make their observations about how CAN could be run better not with the intention to discredit the body but so that things could be corrected fraternally, but there were screaming headlines which tended to put the Catholic Church in negative light. This is happening again. “We are indeed embarrassed at the monumental scale of misrepresentations in the said newspaper reports. What we expect from Journalists is genuine reports based on truth and facts, which ought to promote public trust and confidence. “A hall mark of responsible journalism is that reporters ought to cross-check their facts before publishing them whereas reports based on falsehood, rumours and preconceived ideas such as this, are not only malicious but a calculated attempt to strain the good relationship between the Catholic Church and the leadership of CAN. “There is a poison of deliberate misinformation in the air, more deadly than the Ebola virus disease. This may be a symptom of how forthcoming political events may be handled in the media. Some persons want to at all cost see the North and the South, Christians and Muslims fight. “In God’s name it shall not come to be. Our prayer is that our nation shall remain one and indivisible. No matter how hard our detractors may try, they will not succeed. “As leaders of the Catholic Church we shall continue to be objective in our assessment of the situation in the country and endeavour to edify by our comments and actions and not to destroy. This is because we believe that we are one people and one nation. God bless our beloved country Nigeria.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/27-09-14/$9.3million-Arms-deal-catholic-Bishops-Exenorate-Oritsejafor/ |
Alfranco: It's also a ploy calculated at decimation of electorates that will be voting for a particular candidate in the 2015 Presidential election. That's why they are particularly interested in the systemic killings shrouded in terrorism.well said. |
ROSSIKE: You're a compound bushman who thinks like a donkey. For your information, every sovereign nation on earth ''takes a stance'' on issues of global importance, and declares its stance at the UN General Council, where every nation's voice is heard. It has nothing to do with being ''a top dog'' or ''top cat''. Even St Kitts takes a position. A position of neutrality is also a stance and is governed by the related nation's calculated interests.cant you tell from his posts in different threads,that this young man is bereft of understanding...i can percieve pronounced bitterness all over him.I pray that God gives him strenght to overcome his hatefulness! |
This people are on a mission to wipe the christian community of north-east Nigeria!as soon as they enter any christian community,they run Amok and kill everything on site....we all know the systematic Islamic motivated elimination agenda going on in the North,2015 will come and pass!!!we are taking note and we beg all christians in North East to be steadfast in prayers and should nt allow ill feelings and despair take over their sense of reasoning,there is light at the end of the tunnel,they will surely live to praise the lord in the land of the living!We down south,north central and all well meaning Nigerians shares in their pains and are mounting pressure on the authourity to eliminate this political-religious monster. |
50calibre: So Nigeria took a stance on the Ukrainian crises? (of course the same stance as their western masters) even china a key ally of both Russia & the west maintained neutrality.... Jonada*ft is really dumb beyond measurement.... you and Omenka,thinks that always insulting the president will make both of you sound smart but do you know what any civilized mind in this forum thinks of you,that you both are both uncivilized,uncultured,crude,unrefined and products of distorted upbringing.I understand you may be jobless,riddled by poverty but you shld find a decent way of venting your frustrations and spend less time online,you may some day get a breakthrough in life by using your time well. I can authoritatively say this to you,If you ever were from a decent home where a dad plays his role to his children and you understand what it takes to attain great heights in life,you will never insult a president of a nation or any elder in that manner!By always insulting,it shows you are weak and your challenges are obvious. |
Congrats, Apokuedike!!! Let the works in Anambra continue,we will get there! |
Ghana must be careful with whatever they intend doing,knowing that their economy is very fragile and if and when Nigeria decides to hit back,it will certainly be disastrous...they depend on Nigeria partly on Gas,If Nigerian investments in Ghana are withdrawn,it wil have an adverse effect on an already fragile economy!foriegners shld be encouraged to do bussiness in Ghana,it will enhance competitiveness!ghanains shld only be worried about westerners who are using their country as a dumping ground,thereby discouraging productivity and nt fellow ECOWAS countries whom are in thesame shoe with them. I suggest Ghanain govt shld find a lasting solution to this reccuring malaise and they fears of Ghanain bussiness people should be addressed. |
I dont like doing this or playing the ethnic card,Saharareporters are stationed somewhere in the US and London and their bills are taking care of by some thieving opposition politicians,they can spew thrash online and get away freely without anyone arresting them or inviting them for questioning.I challenge the mainstream media to publish this arrant nonsense whose only aim is to distabilize the government of the day.Imagine in recent weeks,alot of falsehood are being carried around,just to find the president culpable and if we dont thread with caution,very soon there may nt be any country to call Nigeria. Can you imagine how tactically saharareporters avoided mentioning the name of the other two Nigerians in the said confiscated Airplane,they mentioned the Isreali and avoided the two pilots name or probably the 'forgot',simply because the pilots are Yorubas and not from south East or south south who would have made the story sound real. While the south African sources are quoting a different Airplane,they sahara reporters are dreaming about Ayo Oritsejofor.You think that even if GEJ or Oritsejofor intends illegal importation of Arms,they do nt have some many ways to do it without involving the Man of God and his plane.foolishness is now the order of the day in Nigeria. |
Nigeria indeed can work,all we need is having the right people at the right places..congrats to the peoples prof! |
As much as i do not subscribe to Wole Soyinka's idea of labelling some Nigerians sponsors of boko haram,simply because a political mercenary from Austrialia said so,i also find it detestablel how supposedly educated people still can not diffrentiate between fraternities and cults and also ascribing it to occultism.Though i understand that politicians play on the masses ignorance inother to put across a point,i have waited with bated breath for people to prove that 'Pyrate' which Wole Soyinka and six other notable Nigerians such as Ralph Opara,Ige Imoukhede,Sylvanus Ogbeche etc brought to the then university college Ibadan,has a history of violence but that they cant prove rather they keep refering to the pseudo-fraternities in Nigerian universities,whom some of their founders may have their inspiration from the tyranical military government of that time. i checked the pyratical creed online or motto and it reads 1.against convention,2.against ethnicity,3.for humanistic ideals 4.for comradeship and chivarly. And i concluded that these are truly the challenges Nigeria is faced with and if Nigeria can work with this creed,then our society will be better for it. |
This Tinubu's former close Pals are getting us more confused,is it that Tinubu is a Junky?is he a drunk?or is he retarded?is he brainsick?...what is the name of that substance that he consumes excessively?all this questions are begging for an answer?Nigerian youths need to know the truth and who our supposed leaders are,enough of all this coded words. |
Too Much Consumption of Things Has Damaged Tinubu’s Brain - Ikimi Category: REPORTS Published on Saturday, 13 September 2014 21:46 By Fejiro Oliver New Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) bride has thrown stones on his former leader, Ahmed Bola Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress (APC) by calling him a demented brain fellow. Ikimi who was replying Tinubu over his recent aspersion on him noted that excessive consumption of things may have affected Tinubu. “But I want to clarify that I read the kind of response the leader from Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, tried to make and I think he has lost it all. For once, I think he has a memory problem and I think the memory problem derives from his excessive consumption of various things”, he stated Responding to Tinubu’s claim that he was in the party to sell it, he noted that he was not just a leader of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) but a founding member. Taking Tinubu down memory lane, he refuted claims that he betrayed Moshood Abiola. “Did I need to spend twelve years to create a party in order to sell it? I created the party; I did not join the party. First of all, if he has a good memory, Abiola was in SDP not in NRC. I in NRC cannot betray someone who is in SDP. Secondly I stopped being chairman of NRC in 1992. Abiola’s election was in 1993. The National Chairman was Dr Hamed Kusamatu who was his own kinsman. “How can I become the chairman to betray Abiola when I was not Kusamatu? Even if it was NRC, between Kusamatu and me was Mrs Okolu. So there were two other chairmen before me. “Now SDP went to election, the first foreign minister was Baba Gana Kingible who was his running mate. How could I have been the one who betrayed him? I did not join Abacha’s government until 1994. So, tell Bola Tinubu to get his historical facts correct” “I have heard people talked about Abacha. Who did not work for Abacha? Who was that woman who was carrying market women to demonstrate on behalf of Abacha? So, let be very careful when pointing accusing fingers at others. “I created the PTF. I was adviser, somebody ran the PTF. When the time comes, find out where he is now. Today they are building a lot of projects in Lagos and who is the contractor who is doing it, he is a contractor who used to work with Abacha.” The former foreign affairs minister stated that he was full of surprises to see the PDP come en masse to welcome him and gave him a grand reception when he stepped down at the Benin Airport.

..on who's authority is Obasanjo ordering his son's removal from one hospital to the other!He is a personnel of Nigerian military and hence should be treated like every other Nigerian soldier..military rules of engagement demands that all injured officers on official duties shall be taken care of by the military Authority.Enough of this nonsense!Btw why are they contemplating taking him to a medical tourism abroad,while other gallant soldiers are still fighting and dying for Nigeria,Obasanjo's son is recieving VIP treatment,this will dampen the morale of other patriotic soldiers who as usual get injured from time to time...this nepotism must stop,i supposed,he must have been promoted rapidly in the military as against his peers because of his privileged background! i wonder why he is even been celebrated,a commanding officer who lost 24 members of his platoon to a rag tag terrorist is an under-achiever!!! Long live our gallant soldiers,may their labour never be in vain! |
ochejoseph: Wonderful News ! But don't be sad if you don't see it as broadcast message on your BBM , retweeted on twitter, posted to Facebook or shared on Nairaland.How wonderful is it to know that we still have very reasonable youths like you and some few others,in a cyber world where many Nigerian youths has been deceived,manipulated,mis-led,hypnotised by a section of the opposition elites and their cronies in some media houses into foolery!You indeed has given me reason to believe that this generation of Nigerian youths may truly nt be a generation of idiots as argued in some quarters. |
swtdrms: Y are u people scared of the so called investigation, is being investigation an automatic ticket to jail or defeat? Even if he wasn't named by the Australia guy, wats wrong in him being investigated? Owh! I smell the fear in ur heart....immittent heart attack, cuz u know deep deep in ur heart he has been be fighting the Igbo cause wch is a re-extension of d biafra civil far, and facing defeat for this undecleared war wil be too devastating for u guyz to bear.....sorry, i assure u, u re going to die of that heart attack, if he's not investigated now no prob, am sure the perpetrators nd sponsors of boko haram wil stil be investigated nd the truth wi b brought to lime light, wait a minute if then, many igbo individual are found culpable, that wil spel doom for, just pray nd pray hard that doesn't happen cuz if it does, i can't help u guyz from dat disgrace ndone last thing, keep on suppressing the truth from coming out as much as you can...suppress and suppress it, it only prove a point, that u re culpable as a people, but matter the suppression, it wil surely come out one dayyou sound like a broken record....all you ve written is full of 'sound and fury,signifying nothing'!I cant believe i responded to a paranoiac twerp!pls dont quote me again,am a very busy mind and i dont like distractions. |
MeAboki: Igbos, united in bigotry: so Ihejirika is innocent until proven guilty but Modu Sheriff is guilty until proven innocent; even though both were jointly f!ngered by a completely neutral detribalised person with nothing to gain by his revelation.....you dont have to insult just to put your point across,Modu Sheriff as known by Bornu people was the founder of a clandestine movement which latter metamorphosed into present day boko haram,though his intention was strickly a political movement but the rest is now history! however Gen.Ihejirika was a pain in the neck of the Islamic north terrorist cabal,we cant forget in a hurry how the so -called Maidugari elders promised to take him to ICC,for indiscriminate killing of Boko haram members and sympathisers.The plan failed and the Australian political mercenary was conscripted to do the dirty job or simply known as plan B. I almost wanted to also reply you with an insult but when i checked your moniker and i saw 'MeAboki',i had no choice but to hold back because i know the challenges you go through to even come online,you need encouragement |
I do not have issues with any party but i will always cast my vote where the interest of my people will be guided and as such any party or person that can move Nigeria forward. However it is also important to state that APC as a party is politically immature,there nature of response to national issues often connotes high level of irresponsibilty and often portrays them as an embittered group of bigots and failed shenanigans!...shamelessly,inspite of the fact that it has been said that the Australian wasnt employed by the federal govt. They still held on to the falsehood,how then can we ever have trust in such a party of hooligans!If the Australian political mercenary had mentioned Buhari or Tinubu,they wld ve called him names and tag him a PDP stalwart,but all of a sudden the are now calling on ICC....APC is a national embarrassment to the good people of Nigeria. |
There is a trend i see in Nigeria that is quite disturbing and dangerous,there has been a concerted effort by some disgruntled politicians and a section of this country to rope people from a particular region and also other minorites tribes whom may have given their support to this regime....how else can one explain the fact that the late National security advicer Rtd Gen. Aziza was almost always blamed for the failure of Nigeria military to conquer Boko haram terrorists,now forwarded to present day,we now have a certain Rtd Gen.Gusau(from the north) as the NSA and not even a single finger has ever been pointed at him,despite the loses some times incurred by our military! Since the end of the civil war,it is believed that a secret pact was signed by the ruling military elites,that never again shall an Igbo man be the chief of Army staff,but along came one GEJ who deemed it fit to give the top military Job to the most qualified(in the real sense of the word)military guy and hence,the old order was ruffled and hell was let loose. 'conscience is an open wound,only truth can heal it'-Othman Dan fodio! 'you can fool some of the people,all the time but not all the people,all the time'-Anonymous! |
@Aguiyi why do you waste your time on people who are paid to go online and spew arrant nonsense in other to score cheap political point!Dont you understand that some people are just irredeemable and completely irresponsible....GEJ Knows his enemies and their modus operandi!Truth will forever triumph over falsehood,no matter how long they bittered opposition tries to suppress it. Gen.Ihejirika killed boko haram terrorists in their numbers,they said the are heading to world court for genocide and when it failed,they now say he is a sponsor of the terrorist group and again it has failed,woe to the enemies of Nigeria. |
...how then did the 'press boys' come to the conclusion that they are cultists!It is a clear case of assassins,it may be a business gone bad or a jealous ex-boy or girl friend taking his or her own pound of flesh!whatever it is,this is very bad,People must always uphold the sanctity of human life.RIP |
...i ve said this severally,all we need is to exercise more patience,our military will certainly crush the insurgents!as for our dirty and evil politicians,no amount of lies will stop our collective will to move forward as a nation and we shall always give the needed support to our visionary president,in his quest to take the nation to a greater height! |
oduastates: Eternal optimist,you are so pathetic,why do you derive joy in using any slightest opportunity to fight your usual e-tribal war(of course thats the only place for cowards and weaklings).Do you know that you are doing more harm to this country than even the so called boko haram,you disseminate falsehood online,spread dangerous propaganda and sow seeds of discord among fellow country men!..it is easy for you to sit some where in 'lagos',and spew thrash online,to the point you now know the origin of the deserting Nigerian Army personnels and you also interviewed them and they told you their mind!Must you use ethnic leanings to describe an already bad situation,in other climes you should by now be preparing to enlist into the military,inother to defend our territorial intergrity. Btw,Boko haram are bittered by the level of casualties they incurred by sustained bombing of their positions by the Nigerian Air Force and army in Bama,hence the embarked on cheap propaganda,which is a very powerful tool in wars....From the way the so -called Shekau had claimed he was going to lead the invasion of Maidugari and wont mind being martyred,shows that it is a case of a drowning man.This must be fought and won!God bless our military. |
The general performance of this year WAEC is very bad and shld be a concern to all well meaning Nigerian,it seems our politicians are devoting more time in self serving politics than in pursuit of standard education for our populace?this calls for sober reflection,however of more worrisome is the south-west states where it seems the governors are only good at propaganda and self interest,how fast are the legacies of Awolowo fading into oblivion! Hence we as a people must hold our leaders to accountability and make sure we never play into their elitist,class and self-interest struggle and only then can we hope that our children will be blessed with the grace of light...God Bless Nigeria! |
Let the north keep living in terror and while believing they are guinea pigs who are used by others to kill themselves!..so funny,when al qeada,ISSI and other terror groups bomb their people,they say its America's fault,so am not surprise! |
