Taiwo Lakanu, the commissioner of police in Ekiti state,
has been redeployed after he reportedly connived with
thugs affiliated with Governor Ayodele Fayose to attack 19
state legislators who were on their way to the legislative
assembly to begin impeachment proceedings against the
governor.
Our police source disclosed that Mr. Lakanu personally
selected some rogue policemen led by one divisional police
officer (DPO) on Mr. Fayose’s payroll to carry out the
assignment of escorting the lawmakers to the state
legislature to commence the process of impeachment.
However, the state commissioner of police also made
covert plans with a controversial army officer in the state,
Brigadier-General Aliyu Momoh, to ambush the lawmakers
at an army checkpoint in the town of Itawure. Our sources
said that, as soon as the 19 lawmakers arrived at the army
checkpoint, General Momoh had them arrested and
detained. General Momoh was the officer implicated in a
scandal captured on an audiotape in which several PDP
officials, including then Minister of State Musiliu Obanikoro
and Minister of police Affairs Jelili Adesiyan, ordered the
officer to unleash troops on supporters of then Governor
Kayode Fayemi who was squaring off with Mr. Fayose in a
governorship election.
Shortly after General Momoh’s detention of the Ekiti
legislators, a group of thugs reportedly hired by Governor
Fayose arrived at the scene and began assaulting the
lawmakers. Our sources said the legislators managed to
scamper into their vehicles and flee to Osun State,
escaping what could have been a brutal attack by Mr.
Fayose’s thugs.
SaharaReporters learnt that the Inspector General of Police,
Suleiman Abba, this evening ordered Mr. Lakanu relieved of
his job after he investigated a petition detailing the
connivance of the state commissioner of police with
Governor Fayose.

Nigeria paper, I don't know when you guys turn to pastor whey dey predict, today na gmb go win, tomorrow na gej..... but as for me and my family we have decided already...

sai buari
sai baba
say GMB

smart president, he talking about security because that sai baba first ambition, security, now we should vote for change

sai baba

to me, its an insurance company, its by choice, we all know, insurance is a pull of risk.... just like the company asking you to insure your life, are they praying for your death, thats the thought in our mind when we are first introduce with life assurance... but I wanna protect my future

thank God, but I am worried oooo, fire catching our radio and tv station, I think God is angry with some partisan media house, God lives..... sai Baba....marching mood activated

I really dont know david west, but sincerely speaking, he is saying the truth, according to an advertisment I watched yesterday on tv when Jonathan assumed office, he said if I am unable to achieve within this 4 years, I can't achieve even if I am the president for 100 years, sentiment apart, this man is really a disgrace to our democracy. ..... like if I am right

Exactly 74yrs ago, on the 16th of october 1938, this great singer was born
If he were still alive, he would have been celebrating his 74th birthday today....the abami eda,human rights activist.,musician,mentor,brother,father,friend and the list goes on. But what were the accolades that made this incredible legend stand out is his selfless attitude towards the african state. He fought emphatically on the issue of neo colonialism by the west on african state, fought for civil rights in the african state, Declared war on governments who promoted corruption in their cabinet, fought those whom abused civil rights and the list goes on and on..Although during the time of these movements he went through hell incarcerated,humiliated, imprisoned,you can name the worst it happened to him. ignoring all this he stood his ground even till his last breathe for the justification of true governance and civil rights for the African state. A true legend in reality.
As we celebrate this icon all over the world, the Nigerian state shouldn't forget his prophecies and assertion even decades after is death the problems he long speculated still lingers, bad governance, corruption,neo colonialism,religious bigotry, human rights violation etc. All these are still problems battling the Nigerian state, problems that administration after administrations are yet to tackle. Society fails when words that are meant to be said lingers in the heart. Felas ideology shouldn't go to waste has our national anthem would say.
" The labor of our heroes past shall never
be in vain"
We should all rise as fela said ' AFRICA ARISE' it is our call our own devotion we owe it to ourselves for the betterment of our future has Africans. Has brothers and sisters, has one family bound by love of our rich culture and communal faith. It is your call my call our call.
Has we all celebrate in the spirit of felabration we shouldn't forget of that legendary legend FELA and what he stood for.

shift15:
How did he do that? Don't just spill thrash, tell us in specific term how he made the announcement for the suspension.

Its was announced on radio this afternoon and he even gave a speech when he hasn't become a governor yet.... So absurd... If you have a family in the state... You can always call and ask...

ofala:
In life, there are choices and one of the beautiful things about this life is that we live with the choices we make, whether good or bad. Ekiti people made a choice and they will have no option than to live with it.

Wow... You are quiet a great thinker.... Its just the irony of life... They wouldn't realize what they have done until they actually see it to the end... I've been in this state for some years now and what I've notice is that ekiti people are never satisfy with things and covetous.... They want everything in state to be done by the government up to the very level of giving them daily meal... Stomach infrastructure.... I fear for the future of the state

Its unprecedented, outrageous and unconstitutional, the governor elect of ekiti state suspends the more than two weeks curfew without the knowledge, consent and authority of the incumbent governor, doc fayemi, ... I keep asking myself this rhetorical question.... Are we practising a democratic system of government or an autocratic democracy... If its a realistic political ideology ... Its actually a slap on the people of ekiti, a slap on the governor and on the integrity of Nigeria as a country....

Who cares about united kingdom... We are no longer a slave to them... And their systematic Way on remaining our God is gonna fail soon,.. Quote me... They aren't ready to acknowledge us because we are getting stronger than them... They failed in Egypt in 1956 than they are gonna fail again... It becoming their birth right .... Tell them say oooo... God dey

Four Chibok girls released

Four out of the over 200 schoolgirls abducted
from Government Girls’ Secondary School,
Chibok, Borno State, have been released by the
Boko Haram.
The Chairman, Chibok Local government Council,
Mr. Bana Lawan, said on Wednesday that the
girls fell ill and were released by their captors.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Lawan
gave the information in Abuja at a one-day
stakeholders’ meeting for validation of draft
humanitarian response plan for the abducted
girls.
The meeting was organised by the National
Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
He said the girls were released on Tuesday to
bring the number of those that had regained
their freedom to 57.
Lawan commended Nigerians for showing
concern and support for Chibok people, saying
the support had restored the hope and
aspiration of the people for the return of peace
to the community.
He also praised the Federal Government’s
prompt intervention through the provision of
relief items for the people.
He urged the government to resuscitate the
facilities destroyed by the insurgents and
improve security in the affected school to boost
the morale of the students.
Lawan explained that boys were encouraged to
attend GGSS in Chibok because of the lack of
education facilities in the area and appealed for
the construction of boys’ hostels in the school.
He said the construction of the hostels would
reduce the hardship faced by the students, who
attended school from afar.

Although, this might sound like some Nollywood flicks, but some residents of Church Street, Makoko, Lagos, and its environs, maintain that a cat allegedly turned to a woman, before changing to a small boy on Thursday, September 4th, 2014.

According to residents of the area, two cats had been disturbing the neigbourhood for a while, and on that fateful day, some youths in the area attempted to kill the cats and end their disturbance once and for all.In the course of pursuing the cats, one of them ran away while the other escaped into a Celestial Church. Its pursuers promptly entered the church in hot chase, but were jolted when they saw that the cat had turned to an old woman, with her legs still having furs on it.

In shock and fear, the youths ran out to call more people, but before they got back, the old woman had again turned to a young boy.

Though some of the outraged youths attempted to lynch the child, he was later taken away from the church premises to the Baale’s residence, from where he was released to police officers from the Panti Police Station, Yaba, Lagos.

When E24-7 MAGAZINE visited Panti, an officer informed our correspondent that the boy had been handed over to the producers of a TV show that reports strange, and weird occurrences. However, some residents who spoke with E24-7 MAGAZINE questioned the decision of the police to hand over the boy to the show’s producers instead of thoroughly investigating the case.

It should be recalled that a bird had allegedly turned to an old woman and was stuck in a roadside drain in Lagos earlier in the year.


Do you actually believe stuff like this?

At least he is still our president, we need to respect him as a fellow Nigeria, he is the number 1 citizen, Merry xmas Mr president, and I pray we will cross this rugged bridge together... God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

Everton star Ross Barkley could have been a
Nigerian Super Eagle!
The Scouser is nailed on to make England's
World Cup squad next summer.
However, before being capped by
Roy Hodgson earlier this year, Barkley
actually still qualified for Nigeria - thanks
to
his Nigerian grandfather.


I just can't stop imagining that young lad
playing for Nigeria, we would have been a
phenomenal at the world cup, what I'm
mostly worried about is an attacking
midfielder, who sunday Mba is still my best
choice for a long time... Barkley would have
fits in perfectly into that place, Mikel my
past hope is now a defensive midfielder
which Chelsea have just make his attacking
quality miserable
