Popular Nigerian Blogger, Linda Ikeji who came under severe criticisms on social media from Nigerians who felt she ‘had a child out of wedlock’, after spending the better part of her blogging career criticising ‘Single Mothers' has denied those reports.
She said it was completely made up and that she has never done so.

17Ebiscoo: Former governor of Abia State, Orji Kalu, has reacted to the vice presidential debate involving Prof. Yemi Osinbajo of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the VP candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Peter Obi and three other vice presidential candidates on Friday.
Kalu said that the debate would have been a great opportunity for the former ruling party to apologise to Nigerians for the damage they caused for 16 years.
Vice President Osinbajo and former Anambra Governor, Obi clashed yesterday in a political debate in Abuja ahead of 2019 presidential election.
Other participants in the debate were: Umma Getso YPP; Alhaji Abdulganiyu Galadima, ACPN; and Khadijah Abdullahi-Iya, ANN.
Kalu praised the performance of Osinbajo, tweeting, “Yesterday was a perfect opportunity to say”we are sorry”for 16 years of looting spree unfortunately it wasn’t utilised.
“Prof.Osinbajo @ProfOsinbajo gave a sterling stewardship account of the “recovery” process under PMB @MBuhari. We are proud of you. #2019Debate #NextLevel.”
Cantonese: Thank you very much for your words. Let me ask:
1. If Nigeria were China what would have happened to the likes of Tinubu who never has factories but came about such massive wealth?
2. If Nigeria were China what would have happened to R-PDP members who became APC and gave them state powers?
3. If Nigeria were China what would have happened to APC members with clear cases of looting?
4. If Nigeria were China what would have happened to persons within and around the president not who are accused but are walking around freely?
5. In China politicians across board are held accountable for their promises. Clearly how many campaign promises have been fulfilled? I guess you will be part of those myopic ones who ask for more time.
We all demanded responsibility from Jonathan/PDP that was why we demanded 'anything but Jonathan' in 2015. The indices are clear for you to see today, Why wait until your children start crying for bread in your house tomorrow? Did you not hear the man say 2019 will be harder?
Bros your words must be jokes, right?
That lady is a joke. Ignore the nitwit, she is only good at drinking palmwine and eating dead dog meat.
yjgm: This is the truth of the story, of 15 yrs old Girl married to 75 years Old in Minna
1) The girl in question is 20years and 11 months old.
2)A dowry of #300,000 was agreed upon and paid.
3)She wasn't forced into the marriage and this is her 3rd marriage.
Pls if you don't understand Hausa ask your friend to translate the content of this pictures. It is unfortunate how people fabricate lies and tarnish once image. Allah Ya isamma Dattijo ga duk wadanda sunka yi ma Karya.
I know this won't trend because we love to trend rubbish only.
Bbsharon: Same as yours which is the Benin POV. I'm a storyteller not an archaeologist nor a historian and I simply narrated a story. It could be folklore, myths or mere imagination. My concern is how captivating the story is and the connections it creates.
Its no more a story if its lie conjured by revisionist. Did Oranmiyan fought and conquered Benin?
Leave Edo state out of your lies, someone who is only knowledgeable in Yoruba history is not true historian, your knowledge of history must cover every race linked with yours,you carry out proper research. The groove guard and your mother told you one side of the story,her/their story not my or our story.
This is not about superiority or ego but the truth.
SUMMARY OF REPORT OF THE PETROLEUM (SPECIAL) TRUST FUND (PTF) INTERIM MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE, INSTITUTED ON JULY 7, 1999.
– The report revealed that the Committee advised President Obasanjo to “Set up a high powered judicial panel to recover the huge public fund and to take necessary action against any officer, consultant or contractor whose negligence resulted in this colossal loss of public funds.”
– The report disclosed that the sum of N25, 758, 532, 448 was mismanaged by the company contracted by the PTF as management and project consultant when Buhari was the chairman.
– It revealed that Buhari delegated to the Afri-Project Consortium the power of Engineer in all appropriate project requiring such power, which made them assume absolute powers to initiate, approve and execute all projects by the PTF.
– The mismanagement of funds under Buhari’s Chairmanship of the PTF was carried out by the APC (the company) in their capacity as management and project consultants. It said both their management services fee and budget for various projects executed during the existence of the PTF were greatly overpriced.
– The Committee made up of Dr. Harouna Adam as Chairman, and Alhaji Abdu Abdurrahim, Mr Achana Gaius Yaro, Edward Eguavoen, Mr. T. Andrew Adegboro and Mr. Baba Goni Machina as members, while carrying out its obligations, engaged three management consulting firms to verify all payments made to PTF from inception to September 30, 1999.
– The Committee during verification discovered that the consulting firms had overcharged PTF for their services to the tune of N2, 057, 550, 062. Also, while intervening on behalf of the PTF in the road and waterways, education, food, health, and other sectors, the company, according to the report, inflated all the prices, for example intervention in the health sector was said to have amounted to N9 billion in total, and projects in this sector were said to have been executed by the APC and PTF in-house staff, where loss of billions of naira were recorded due to price inflation of products and services.
– The committee also discovered that the APC (Company) bought spectacle frames, which could have been done locally at a price between N80 to N880, under the watch of Buhari, at an inflated price of N1, 900 each. Ambulances were said to have been purchased at N13 million per unit, instead of N3 million. And then price inflation of drugs were done to the tune of N1.5 billion.
– The report further revealed that the PTF lost money to the tune of N3.5 billion from its bank account operations and that PTF operated its bank accounts under three different categories: Administration, Project and Treasury accounts, and the loss of money to these accounts were said to have been due to “overcharge on Cost of Turnover (CoT), non-payment of interest on current account balances as stipulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), short payment of interest on deposited funds, and other various discrepancies.”
– The Committee also discovered that an average income of N182 billion accrued to the PTF from its inception to the date of filing their report. The Committee’s report showed that the PTF used about 70 per cent of that income on highways and urban road projects.
– In the project there was a total variation of contract sums of N68 billion. These variations were not done with properly priced bills of quantities and approved service contracts procedure as stipulated by government regulations. Taking the experience of what has been discovered after verification of various contracts awarded by PTF the minimum potential recovery will be about 15%. This estimated percentage will be about N10 billion.
– The verification of this project sector was about to take off when the committee members were replaced, the report stated.
The report was however neither made public nor was it acted upon by the then President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Bbsharon: I did. And I saw different views to the story. Especially the dispute between the Yorubas and Benin kingdom of who is more superior or from whom their source originated from.
Don't just conclude or assume your view to be correct. What I posted was narrated to me by the guard at the groove also my mom who is also a Yoruba/History scholar narrated same besides other Yoruba scholars too claim same belief.
So, I understand fully well the angle you are coming from.
Bbsharon: Before starting this story I would like to state that I got this narration from the guard called Baba Ogba at the groove in Ile Ife. I also made some research on the story to compare with the narration I got from him without leaving out the originality of his own words. Hope you enjoy!!.
Oranmiyan was a great warrior of the Yoruba kingdom with so much power and might. He was not just a warrior in his hometown Ile-Ife but also a great warrior around different kingdoms as he fought and conquered lot of territories across different towns and cities.
[s]Oranmiyan fought wars in places such as in Edo state[/s] where he got married to a native woman of the land who had a son for him called Eweaka from the Yoruba word “owo mi ka” meaning I’m capable of handling this and who is believed to be the first Oba of the Benin kingdom. He also won wars and conquered the great Oyo kingdom to create the Oyo empire where he made his son king before leaving...
Do a thorough research before you post on your blog. Oranmiyan did NOT conquer anywhere in Edo State. He was SENT by his father (Oduduwa -/Ekhaladerhan) to take his place on the throne of his forefathers,he was brought to Benin and the Benin's fought for him to take over the throne from the usurper Ogiamen who was the regent. He couldn't bear the pressure and chickened out to look for a more peaceful and docile people to rule over but after impregnating his wife the Queen.
