Romance / Auchi Poly Student Commits Suicide, Wills His Mobile Phone To Girlfriend by boman2014: 5:04pm On Sep 12, 2021 |
A 23-year-old student of Auchi Polytechnic identified as Solomon Oboh, has allegedly commited suicide. It was gathered that the National Diploma 1 student of Public Administration was found dangling from the ceiling of his room on Friday night, September 10. According to Punch, the student was said to have left a suicide note behind with instruction that his mobile phone be given to his girlfriend and coursemate, Sandra, whom he begged for forgiveness in the note. It was gathered that earlier that day, the deceased had felt humiliated by his inability to spell the words, “computer technology” correctly in the presence of his classmates. "Solomon was in class on Friday and left for home after class, we only came home later in the evening to find him dangling in the ceiling of his room at Bawack area of South Ibie," a source told the publication. “He was a very quiet boy who took his academics very serious. He doesn’t go out and never showed any sign of depression or whatsoever,” the source added. The polytechnic spokesman, Mr. Mustapha Oshiobugie, who confirmed the incident, said he was yet to be briefed on the details. https://punchng.com/auchi-poly-student-commits-suicide-leaves-note-for-girlfriend/ |

Politics / FG: Nnamdi Kanu Masterminded Killing Of 60 People In Four Months by boman2014: 10:40am On Jul 01, 2021 |
The federal government says Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), orchestrated the killing of 60 people and the destruction of property in 55 violent attacks across the south-east and south-south zones within four months. According to NAN, the federal ministry of foreign affairs said this in a letter to Western diplomats dated April 26, 2021. The ministry in its letter, objected to a statement by an agency of a Western nation whose government had said the creation of Eastern Security Network (ESN), based on its own understanding, was to combat insecurity. It said it considered the statement by the Western nation as “justifying the establishment of a militia by a non-state actor and glossing over the destructive and violent acts of IPOB and the ESN”. “In under four months this year, IPOB has carried out over fifty-five (55) violent acts in various parts of Southeast Nigeria killing scores of people and destroying many properties,” the letter said. “Indeed it would seem that the position of the (western nation) seems to have further emboldened Nnamdi Kanu the self-confessed leader of IPOB. “As recently as 22nd April, 2021, broadcasting online from his base in London, Mr Kanu has issued series of instructions to his militia and other members of the outlawed organisation, on acts of violence to be carried out within the territory of Nigeria.” The letter mentioned some of the alleged instructions by Kanu which are to hunt down the Fulani, attack governor Obiano of Anambra state, and kill any landlord that gives accommodation to government security personnel. “For example, a day after Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has confirmed to newsmen that Nnamdi Kanu has ordered members of the group to kill him and other South- East Governors, which orders were repeated on Radio Biafra, the private residence of Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, in his hometown in Omuma, Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State, was attacked and set ablaze and two of the security men attached to the house were killed,” the federal government said. The letter then listed the IPOB attacks in the south-east and south-south zones as: “Abia: Between January 26 and April 19, 2021, six policemen were killed while property worth huge sums were destroyed by IPOB members in coordinated attacks at Uratta junction, Aba North LGA; Omoba Police Station, Isiale-Ngwa South LGA; Abriba Community in Shari'a LGA, and Uzuakoli Police Station in Bende LGA. “Akwa Ibom: 25 persons, including security personnel were killed in deliberate attacks on different locations across the state, between January 27 and April 19, 2021. “Cross River: Seven police officers were killed at Calabar- Ikom highway in Obubra and Yakur LGAs, on March 2, 2021, while a soldier was killed two days later on March 4 at a military checkpoint at Obubra Junction in Obubra LGA. “Delta: Between January 10 And April 14, IPOB members attacked and killed 11 persons including security personnel in Ughelli, Ndokwa East, Ezza South, Onicha, Ezza North, Ohaozara, Ohoukwu, LGAs. “Enugu: Three policemen were killed in attacks on different locations across the state between February 28 and April 18. “Imo: Between January 3 and April 24, 2021, IPOB members killed seven persons and injured many others in different attacks in Orlu, Obouo, Aboli Mbaise, Chitte Uboma, Isiala Mbano, Owerri, Njaba, Mbatoli, Oru East LGAs. “Rivers: On April 17, 2021, IPOB operatives killed an NSCDC operative on guard duty at Shell crude oil manifold in Elelewon village in Obio/Akpor LGA and injured many others.” Kanu, who jumped bail in 2017 and fled the country, was arrested and re-arraigned before Binta Nyako of the federal high court in Abuja on Tuesday. https://www.thecable.ng/fg-nnamdi-kanu-masterminded-killing-of-60-persons-in-four-months |
Politics / Drama As 2 Female Convicts Resist Return To Prison (photos) by boman2014: 7:55pm On Jun 30, 2021 |
A dramatic incident has played out at the Magistrate Court in Port Harcourt following the refusal of two female defendants, Ada Ebere and Favour Godwin to be taken to prison. The women were seen rolling on the floor of the courtroom while crying that they cannot go back to prison. Ada Ebere and Favour Godwin were sentenced to 10 years and 15 years imprisonment respectively for conspiracy, stealing and child trafficking. Immediately Chief Magistrate Felicitas Amanze pronounced their sentences that the ladies were guilty of all three charges, two of the women burst into tears and started rolling on the floor of the court while refusing to follow the two female Correctional Center Officers. It took the combined efforts of Correctional Center Officers and a Police Officer to pull them off the floor and jointly handcuff them. However, another female defendant, Kodirichi Nwankwo who narrowly escaped a jail sentence, for an offence that happened at Igbo-Etche in Etche local government area of Rivers State since 2018, for her role in the abduction and sale of four-year-old Uwana Emmanuel was singing and praising God. The court discharged the first defendant, Kodirichi Nwankwo, for showing genuine remorse during the trial of the case, she was ordered to report every month to the court for two years. Chief Magistrate Felicitas Amanze stated that the Court decided not to send Nwankwo back to the Correctional Center because of the four-year-old child she was carrying, and who was given birth to while in prison custody during the trial of the case. The two female defendants, Ada Ebere and Favour Godwin have led away into a waiting prion vehicle in cuffs amidst loud wailings. https://www.tori.ng/news/173780/drama-as-2-female-convicts-resist-return-to-prison.html |
Politics / How Nnamdi Kanu Hired American Firm To Help Promote IPOB In $750k Deal by boman2014: 2:03am On Jun 30, 2021 |
On Tuesday, Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation, announced the arrest and extradition of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). The IPOB leader was subsequently re-arraigned before a federal high court in Abuja for charges bordering on alleged treason. Binta Nyako, the presiding judge, ordered that the Department of State Services (DSS) remand Kanu till July 26 for the continuation of trial. In April 2017, the IPOB leader was granted bail by the court on charges bordering on treasonable felony but later skipped the bail. He later left Nigeria after soldiers raided his father’s residence in Abia state in November 2017. During his sojourn abroad, Kanu had reportedly signed some deals and formed alliances in a bid to achieve the Biafra goal. “Their problem is Nnamdi Kanu and the solution to their problem is referendum. They gave me conditional bail to cage me and IPOB but I refused,” he had said during a broadcast. THE $750,000 IPOB DEAL WITH AMERICAN FIRM According to a report from Foreign Lobby , Kanu signed a contract with BW Global Group, an American lobbying firm, to help promote IPOB in a bid to achieve the secession objective of Biafra. The report noted that the firm is co-owned by Jeffrey Birrel and Alan White. The one-year deal is said to have taken effect from March 1, 2021, and cost Kanu and IPOB $750,000 — an equivalent of over N300 million at the current Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) exchange rate of N410 to one US dollar. “BWGG shall provide IPOB with services relating to the promotion of human rights and democracy, and shall otherwise act as an advocate for the indigenous people of Biafra,” a document relating to the contract reads. “BWGG shall provide services to the IPOB for a period of (1) one year, commencing on the March 1, 2021, through February 28, 2022 and becomes effective on the date of this agreement on, which is the date of the Client’s signature of this consulting services agreement. “BWGG shall be paid a fee for its professional services $750,000 for one year covering the period of March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2022. The new agreement was said to be a replacement of a previous deal signed with Mercury Public Affairs, another US- based lobbying firm. In September 2019, Kanu had reportedly signed an $85,000- a-month deal ($1 million/year) with Mercury Public Affairs. But the firm was said to have only disclosed $254,000 in payments with the US Department of Justice for all of 2020. IPOB’s ALLIANCE WITH CAMEROONIAN SEPARATIST GROUP Kanu had also reportedly formed an alliance with the Ambazonia Governing Council (AGovV), the separatist movement in Southern Cameroon, to exchange weapons and personnel. The separatist group also established a security outfit named Eastern Security Council (ESN) to “halt every criminal activity and the terrorist attack on Biafraland”. The emergence of ESN, however, coincided with a spike in attacks against security and government infrastructure in the south-east. TheCable found out that killings in the south-east tripled after the security outfit was launched — but the group denies any wrongdoing. https://www.thecable.ng/rewind-how-nnamdi-kanu-hired-american-firm-to-help-promote-ipob-in-750k-deal |
Politics / Biafra/Oduduwa: Agitators For Nigeria’s Breakup Are Useless Youths – Sheik Gumi by boman2014: 6:46pm On Jun 28, 2021 |
Seccessionists campaigning for Nigeria to be divided have been labled as 'useless' by controversial Islamic Cleric, Sheik Ahmad Gumi. In an interview with BBC Pidgin, the cleric who has always drummed support for bandits killing and kidnapping innocent Nigerians said that agitators should be ignored. He described agitators for Biafra, Oduduwa republic and Arewa as ‘useless youths’, saying they are the same as ‘Boko Haram’. Responding to a question on agitations for the division of Nigeria, Gumi said: “Who is coming to divide us? Let me give example, General Murtala Mohammed, the man from Kano, the head of state that was assassinated by Dimka, his wife is a Yoruba woman. So where do you want his children to go? if the nation is divided?” “Are they going to be with the Yorubas or are they going to be with hausas in the north?” “Look, let’s forget these Useless youth. These people agitating for Oduduwa and Biafra or Arewa or this Boko Haram, they are the same group of people.” “Majority of Nigerians want to stay in Nigeria, if they are in doubt, let’s make a referendum.” https://politicsnigeria.com/biafra-oduduwa-agitators-for-nigerias-break-up-are-useless-youths-shiekh-gumi/ |

Politics / Buhari: My Appointments And Policies Have Been Fair, Inclusive by boman2014: 6:56pm On Jun 21, 2021 |
Buhari spoke on Monday in Abuja at a conference organised for youths in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The president has been accused of appointing people mainly from the north — an allegation he has denied. Represented by Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), the president said there is no part of the country that has not been “impacted positively in the areas of infrastructure, agriculture and economic support initiative based on peculiarities of the regions.” “So far, all the policies, initiatives, projects and even appointments by this administration have been guided by equity and inclusiveness,” Buhari said. The president said all those threatening the peace of the country would be dealt with. “As you are all aware, we are currently dealing with some internal security challenges and I would like to reassure you that as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, no effort will be spared in tackling them,” he said. “As I have repeatedly said in recent weeks, every criminal element that has taken up arms against the peace of the country and its citizens will be brought to book accordingly.” Buhari said the youth should not relent in nation building as “we have no other country but Nigeria”. “Never despair, nor relent in our joint task of nation building. Remember, we have no other country but Nigeria,” he said. “It is the responsibility of every one of us to work towards the development and advancement of this country.” Earlier, Ismaeel Ahmed, APC youth leader, said the conference was organised to “energise” a progressive movement in the country. Ahmed said the APC should be made a party of mostly young people. https://www.thecable.ng/buhari-my-appointments-and-policies-have-been-fair-inclusive |

Sports / Heavyweight Boxer, Deontay Wilder Says He Hails From Edo State, Nigeria by boman2014: 12:24pm On Jun 20, 2021 |
Former World Boxing Champion, Deontay Wilder, has disclosed that he has traced his roots to Edo State, Nigeria. In a viral video seen by SaharaReporters on Saturday, Wilder said he would like to go back home to learn about his culture. The United States professional boxer said, “I want to go back and learn more about my culture and information with things about me. Once I’m done with what I’m doing, I’m going back to see my tribe, Edo. “I want to see my culture and my ancestors and learn a lot of things. We all have lots of things that we are connected to that we know nothing about. I’ll love to go there and do research about my roots and my tribe.” Wilder, who adopted the moniker “Bronze Bomber”, enjoyed a five-year reign as the WBC heavyweight champion between 2015 and 2020, losing his strap in a bout with Tyson Fury in February 2020. It is not immediately clear if Wilder’s realisation of his roots informed his moniker, “Bronze Bomber.” The Binis in Edo State are known for their expertise in bronze works. Unfortunately, many ancient Benin bronze carvings were carted away to the West during colonial raids. After suffering his first professional defeat at the hand of Fury in a seven-round bout last February, the former WBC champion will in July seek to reclaim his title as he takes on Fury for the third time. The fight is billed to be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Nevada on July 24, and the winner would challenge Anthony Joshua. Nigeria has been a force in world boxing since the 1940s, producing top boxers like Dick Tiger and Hogan Bassey; both undisputed world champions, Tiger at middle and light heavyweight, and Bassey at featherweight. Nigeria has had a fair share of boxing champions, producing the likes of Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. http://saharareporters.com/2021/06/20/deontay-wilder-says-he-hails-edo-state-nigeria lalasticlala |

Politics / Igbo People Can’t Unite For Presidency Yet Talk About Biafra by boman2014: 7:56am On Jan 05, 2021 |
Chimamanda Adichie gave her opinion about Biafra during her interview with Ebuka Obi- Uchendu. The renowned writer wondered how Igbos can achieve Biafra when they can't unite towards selecting a Nigerian president who is from the region. The 43-year-old said Igbo people need to rethink how they strategise politically before talking about secession. She said: "There is no Biafra. There are new movements but, for me, it’s a question of being practical. Where would the border be? What is propelling these movements is a sense of marginalisation, which I think is completely valid. "But this idea that the answer is independence is what I’m not convinced of. Nobody has made a logical case for me. Quite frankly, I’ve observed the terrible leadership that we have in the southeast. "Igbo people cannot unite if, for example, we say we want an Igbo president. And then we’re talking about Biafra. There is a lot of political work we need to do in the southeast. "We need to do a lot of rethinking on how we strategise politically before we can talk about Biafra." She also spoke about misogyny in the South East and its effect on politics. She said: "There are things I quarrel with, in Igbo culture. It’s misogynistic, as are many cultures. That’s the problem. The world is misogynistic. At my father’s funeral, they showed where the widow, my mother, would sit. "And they showed where the sons in the extended family (umunna) would sit. That’s where those coming would go to present whatever they bring. It’s the sons’. And that was the end. My father had three daughters. There was no place for them. "I raised the question and a man in my umunna said we would have to loiter around. There’s a problem with that. "There’s a woman who apparently is going to run for governor in Anambra state. "I’m having a conversation with a group of people and what they’re saying is, ‘Can a woman rule Anambra?’ Do you need a dangling organ to rule a state? It’s hard enough for both male and female politicians. "But women have this additional problem of perception, a reason for which many people won’t vote them. "Igbo culture is just not very good when it comes to gender. Culture as we have it are rules men made to benefit men. "In my hometown, I seem to have this status of an ‘honorary man’ and that’s because of my achievements. People adapt when they see some benefits to it which means that it’s changeable. It’s engraved on the stones." https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2021/1/igbo-people-cant-unite-for-presidency-yet-talk-about-biafra-chimamanda-adichie.html https://lifestyle.thecable.ng/chimamanda-igbo-people-cant-unite-for-presidency-yet-talk-about-biafra/

Crime / Gtbank Staff And CBN Official Burnt Bullion Van, Stole N70m In Kano (video) by boman2014: 6:44am On Dec 12, 2020 |
According to DAILY NIGERIAN, two Nigerian brothers identified as Yusuf Mukhtar and Bashir Mukhtar, have conspired to commit a grievous crime. The brother who are staffers of CBN and GTBank respectively, have allegedly conspired to steal over N70m by burning down a bullion van to cover up their tracks. DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that the duo conspired with the driver of the van to pour petrol on the vehicle and set it on fire on November 13 in an isolated track on the new campus of Bayero University, Kano. Insiders said when they set the van on fire around 6:47pm, they removed some of the money and put them in another vehicle before the arrival of fire fighters and the police. This newspaper gathered that Bashir, who coordinates cash movement at the GTBank in Kano, abused his position by deliberately accepting mutilated naira notes that are marked for destruction from his brother, Yusuf, who works at the state apex bank office. “After accepting the money, they will then swap them with good notes and hide in their homes,” said a source familiar with the investigation. “The plot went awry when Bashir realized that auditors will soon query the enormity of mutilated notes, trace their sources, dates of receipt, among others. So they organized the arson and make it look natural.” Witnesses in the university told DAILY NIGERIAN that they saw the occupants of the van setting fire on it and removing some of the money from the burning vehicle. A series of videos obtained by this newspaper also show the vehicle burning, with onlookers questioning the fire “incident”. Sources told DAILY NIGERIAN that fire service officers and police detectives also suspected a foul play in the “fire accident” when they detected the smell of petrol on some half burnt notes inside the armored compartment. The driver of the van, a staff of Bankers Warehouse, was first arrested, and upon investigation, he confessed to the crime and named Bashir and others as his accomplice. Bankers Warehouse, according to their website, is a private company that “has a Service Agreement with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to receive, process, sort, vault and pay out cash to Deposit Money Banks (DMB’s), on behalf of the CBN.” Sources said that the deal couldn’t have been struck without connivance of some officials of the company. But upon interrogation, Bashir admitted that his sibling partner-in-crime allegedly supplied the mutilated notes and swapped them with good ones from GTBank. After obtaining a search warrant, the police detectives searched their houses and found N40million hidden in their father’s house. Sources said the two brothers resorted to organizing the heist when their initial plan to deposit the mutilated money at Bankers Warehouse or CBN failed. A banker who preferred not to be named said for a bank to lodge huge amount of mutilated notes, it has to apply to the branch controllers of the apex bank for approval. “Banks don’t just dump money at the CBN anyhow. It will be hard for GTBank to make such application without raising questions about the enormity of the amount,” the banker said. “There are Counted Audited Clean (CAC), which is meant for circulation and the Counted Audited Dirty (CAD), which is meant for destruction. So the notes they used to fake the incident are those meant for destruction”. Insiders told DAILY NIGERIAN that the CBN in Kano recently busted a plan to swap N90million dirty notes that were earlier marked and shredded for destruction by the same apex bank. “Although this is a different case, but there is indication that something is really fishy,” said a source. Cover-up by the police? After detention of the two brothers at the Criminal Investigations Department, the police released all the suspects without filing criminal charges against them. DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that the police allegedly collected N1,500,000 to release them on bail. When contacted on Monday, the spokesman for the Kano State Police Command, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, confirmed the arrest and recovery of the funds, adding that the police are still investigating the matter. He said the brothers were released based on the understanding reached by all the parties involved to return the money. When our reporter queried whether a criminal offence of this nature could be “forgiven” by the police without filing charges, the police spokesman said he should be given time to get more details of the case. Mr Kiyawa did not respond to repeated calls on Wednesday, seeking further clarification on the matter. Sources however told DAILY NIGERIAN that the bank is more concerned about “recovery of stolen funds” as prosecuting the staff involved may cause the bank embarrassment. The Head of Corporate Communication of GTBank, Tolulope Onipede, did not respond to calls and email seeking the response of the bank. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYVusZmFPoE https://dailynigerian.com/exclusive-gtbank-staff-cbn/ |
Religion / Fr Mbaka And Church Members Allegedly Assault BBC Journalists by boman2014: 5:04pm On Dec 10, 2020 |
Father Ejike Mbaka, one of the most popular Catholic priests in Nigeria, and some members of his church, are said to have assaulted a BBC team. According to BBC News, the Catholic priest assaulted the BBC crew and two others at his complex in Emene town in south-eastern Enugu State on Wednesday evening. BBC journalists Chioma Obianinwa and Nnamdi Agbanelo, as well as their driver, Ndubuisi Nwafor, were accompanied by another Catholic priest, Father Cajethan Obiekezie and his assistant, Solomon Orakam, to Father Mbaka’s Adoration Ministry at around 10:00 local time on Wednesday. Father Obiekezie had facilitated an interview with Father Mbaka, but it could not be immediately held because he was preaching. The BBC crew, led by Father Obiekezie, moved to Father Mbaka’s home after the church service to conduct the interview at around 17:00. When Father Mbaka got home, the journalists, who were waiting in the car after Father Obiekezie went to talk to him, were suddenly surrounded by about 20 men. According to Obianinwa, the men seized their equipment and threatened to kill them for writing "negative reports about Mbaka". “Mbaka asked us to wait until the end of the programme for the interview. The men outside his house said BBC Igbo writes negative things about Mbaka and started beating Nnamdi, Solomon and Ndubuisi. They gave them heavy blows on their heads and all over their body,” Obianinwa said. The BBC reporter further said that Father Mbaka and Father Obiekezie came out of the house when they heard the noise and that Father Mbaka faced her and started poking his fingers in her face, calling her "satanic".’ “This fired up the men to continue the attacks as Father Mbaka continued shouting and abusing us. He asked his men to seize our phones and cameras. They said they would kill us and nothing would happen. They removed my wig and tried to strangle Nnamdi. Father Obiekezie was telling them to stop but they attacked him too and seized his phone,” she said. Obianinwa said the attacks stopped when she screamed that “the world would know that they were killed in Mbaka’s house”. “At this point, Father Mbaka asked us to leave before his men killed us. He asked them to return our equipment and they chased us out of the compound. His men trailed us till we left the state to seek medical assurance and police help,” she said. When the BBC called the number on Father Mbaka’s official Facebook page for his reaction, it was switched off. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-africa-47639452 mynd44 |
