Nigerian dancer Korra Obidi who was in the news few days ago after sharing a video of a policeman who she claimed slapped her, has been accused of lying.

Recall that Korra Obidi who claimed that the incident occurred in Victoria Island, alleged that she was slapped when she attempted recording a video of the policeman sitting on her bonnet. She wrote on Instagram;

“Phone smashed and physically assaulted by a police officer OLORUNISOLA ISMAIL on Etim Nyang Victoria island

Who gained access into my car gave me a dirty slap and grabbed my wrist and my phone. Smashes my phone and keeps shouting. This was after I attempted to record him sitting on my Bonnet. I forgot I was in Lagos, not America. But is it not our right? am still dizzy from the slap chai
#lagos”

Finally Found the officer @iolorunnisola
who gained forceful access to my car, slapped me across the face, grabbed my phone and smashed it, ripped my thigh trying to get my phone. Reported and nothing has been done at all. #endpolicebrutality

However an eyewitness who claimed she was present when the incident occurred, accused Korra Obidi of not staying in her lane because of the traffic jam. @Hotsucreee also alleged that the policeman never assaulted Korra Obidi. Here's what she wrote below;

Girl you are completely wrong. I witnessed this and I got you out of this mess today . You weren’t in your lane and there was a lot of traffic. You were going to make the traffic get worse and they asked you to reverse back but you blatantly refused now you blame it on them . COME ON . You were the only girl in the midst of over 30 men I wonder how you would have survived it if I didn’t intervene.

Being stubborn never solves a problem. @drjustindean tell your queen to choose her battles . She started the fight despite the fact that she was wrong . She was in a wrong lane and they asked her to get back to her lane and she refused

@tiwasavage she was in the wrong lane and they asked her to reverse and she refused . You don’t fight when you are wrong . In the midst of over 30 men they all wanted to beat her up . I had to stand up for her and begged them to leave her that she would delete the pictures she took.. No body laid fingers on her, I witnessed the incident, let's say the truth

I once attended living faith church, sapele road, Benin.
A man gave a testimony of how he was kidnapped around oba market and forced into a place close to the palace. There he witnessed other detainees, he said they were about 18 inside the room where he was kept. He also said he heard people crying from other rooms beside his own room.

He said the killers came in 3 times daily to take at least 4 people for the slaughter.

He kept praying, speaking in tongues and declaring with faith like every stubborn winners would do.
And the butchers kept telling him, hey hey hey this is palace, and nobody had been freed or escaped from our hands. Telling him that after he finish praying they'll still butcher him.

But as God would have it, thier chief priest ordered his release to the surprise of the butchers, he was again hypnotized, and dumped at akpakpava junction.
Where he regained consciousness.
After the testimony church had to give him cash and took him away from Benin to his home town.
Because some elder in our church who are from Benin said he may be assassinated for revealing sone deep secrets of the palace operations

BoneBlogger:
There was a huge drama after a man refused to be arrested by officers of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS yesterday afternoon at Eweka junction opposite Niger college road in Benin city, Edo state.

According to reports, the man was refused to be handcuffed and taken into custody violently after being accosted by the SARS operatives.

In a trending video footage posted online, the man can be seen struggled with the officers right there to the extent of sitting on the ground and screaming in order to register his his innocence and displeasure with the security agents.

The man's leg was also broken by a moving car in the course of the scuffle with the officers.

While, this was going on, residents of the area were seen carrying on with their activities before later gathering at the scene to come to his aid.

Fayemi failed to welcome Jonathan too in 2014 but the problem with Fayose is that, he must talk. Fayemi didn't say a word and he shunned the then President Jonathan and swept Ado Ekiti and some towns in Ekiti the second day.

All this without noise. Fayose should learn how to act without noise too.

bkuranga:
I will say, you are welcome here.

If you are here to say things like; what a waste of time, energy or resources, could you please click any link close to your mouse pointer?

But if you like to strive and do something new that could impact your life and those around you. Then you are welcome. I'm not selling anything, not claiming to be an expert or even trying to convince you to go into farming. All I'm here for, is to find people with same drive as my self in order to maintain that drive and also give us the room to see things differently, which means to learn off each other and broaden our horizon.

You will have to forgive my English, it's always been my weakest link right from day one in the KINDERGARTEN (even though I didn't have the chance to attend that, LOL).

Remember? I didn't introduce my self, right?

I'm Abiodun by name, A jobless man in the face of most Nigerians but a freelancer in the face internet AGE-GRADE. Why? Because once you don't work for the government or a boss, most Nigerians will believe you are jobless.

I'm a transcriptionist, a graphic artist and a FARMER(something I'm just diving into).

MY STORY IS GETTING TOO LONG, I'M SORRY. BUT I WILL TELL SOME MORE.

I have been in love with farming or let say, AGRICULTURE in general since my secondary school days, but as there is not much I can do then or put straight I didn't really have enough motivation to overcome the challenges and dive in. I had to look at poultries and farms in awe. But still then, I managed to set up my rabbit cage and also took in some chickens, I dived into quail keeping also but stopped midway as there wasn't much market for it. During this time, I plant 10-20 pods of maize in the compound as a kid.

But my first real FARM practice was during my service year, after all the coaching and long talks by the NYSC officials coupling with my realization that I'm not a MINISTER'S, GOVERNOR'S NOT EVEN A COUNCILOR'S son. I realized there is no job waiting for me after my service year. A reason why I have to find my ways. Three things I did was,

1- To list things I love which can bring me some coins.
2- To check those I'm able to do well.
3- Then, It all came down to FREELANCING and FARMING.

Because being under a boss wouldn't have allowed me the freedom I need to farm the way I want and right from onset, I always believe I will be a success as a freelancer.

A reason why I put aside some of my ALAWE, and acquire some space around my PPA and that place now is called, Oko Copa (Copa's farm). I still have my cassava there right now.

Getting back to my state, I didn't stop. Now I have my little farm where my MAIZE, G/CORN AND PEANUT seem to be enjoying themselves.

A small farm for now because of the financial constraint, something I planned to expand the following season, provided I'm still alive. Something I pray God will made possible.
I will come here with PICTURES.

I'm not a millionaire, not even a rich thousand holder. But I'm doing what I love and I'm happy.

There are people who love AGRICULTURE but can't summon the courage to banish that DON'T-DO-IT spirit.

I'm not an expert, in fact I'm just diving into agriculture. But I am here to motivate you, if you are yet to do something, please do. If you are doing something already, I can learn from you, you can learn from me. A REASON WHY I CREATE THIS THREAD.

I WILL PREPARE PICTURES OF MY FARMS. HOPEFULLY, THAT WILL MOTIVATE YOU TO DO SOMETHING.


I THINK THIS IS GETTING TOO LONG, LET ME CUT IT HERE TO HELP MY NEXT POST.

I lost interest when I saw this. How possible not to attend kindergarten but able to read and write. You want to motivate somebody but you dey lie.

BREAKING: New Faction Of APC Emerges In Abuja
Channels Television
Updated July 4, 2018



A new faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has emerged in Abuja.

The new faction is named Reformed-APC (R-APC) with Buba Galadima appointed as the Chairman.

The new faction is made up of aggrieved members of the APC, mostly from the National Assembly.

Briefing journalists after their meeting at the Sheraton Hotels in Abuja on Wednesday, the chairman, Galadima, said the new faction was formed due to the failure of the APC.

[b]They described APC as “severely underperforming and unable to meet its potentials for good governance.”


“We are sad to report that after more than three years of governance, our hopes have been betrayed, our expectations completely dashed. The APC has run a rudderless, inept and incompetent government that has failed to deliver good governance to the Nigerian people.

“It has rather imposed dictatorship, impunity, abuse of power, a complete abdication of constitutional and statutory responsibilities, infidelity to the rule of law and constitutionalism.

“It has failed to ensure the security and welfare of our people and elevated nepotism to unacceptable height. The APC has failed to deliver on its key promises to the nation. There is no evidence of any political will to reverse the decline of our party, while leaders who have created these circumstances continue to behave as if Nigerians owe our party votes as a matter of right.”[/b]

Galadima who has previously been critical of the Buhari-led administration added that recently concluded APC ward and state congresses were intensely disputed as it was conducted with “impunity, total disregard for due process.”



Some other members of the R-APC include:

Yobe State – Buba Galadima (National Chairman)

Kano State – Bala Muhd Gwagwarwa (National Deputy Chairman, North)

Abia State – Chief Theo Nkire (National Deputy Chairman, South East)

Ondo State – Hon. Eko Olakunle (National Vice Chairman South West)

Kaduna State – Hon. Hussaini Dambo (National Vice Chairman North West)

Kogi State – Mahmud Mohammed Abubakar – (National Vice Chairman, North Central)

Benue State – Hon. Godwin Akaan (Deputy National Secretary)

Oyo State -Dr Fatai Atanda (National Secretary)

Edo State – Kazeem Afegbua (National Publicity Secretary)

Adamawa State – Daniel Bwala (Financial Secretary)

Jigawa State – Abba Malami Taura (Deputy National Auditor)

Kwara State -Hon. Kayode Omotosho (National Treasurer)

Anambra State -Barr. Nicholas Asuzu (National Youth Leader)

Rivers State – Barr. Baride A. Gwezia (Legal Adviser)

Katsina State – Haj Aisha Kaita (National Woman Leader)

Bauchi State – Mrs. Fatima Adamu (National Welfare Secretary)

Ogun State -Alh. Isiak Akinwumi (Deputy Financial Secretary)

Zamfara State – Alh. Bashir Mai Mashi (Deputy National Treasurer)

Abuja – Hauwa Adam Mamuda (Deputy Welfare Secretary)

Sokoto State – Hon. Shuaibu Gwanda Gobir (Deputy National Publicity Secretary)

Katsina State – M. T. Liman (National Organising Secretary)

Niger State – Dr Theo Sheshi ( Deputy National Organising Secretary)



Galadima, who was secretary of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), President Muhammadu Buhari’s former party further lamented that the APC administration has been “a monumental disaster, even worse than the government it replaced.”

He noted that the party is in turmoil as there are countless cases in courts all over the country challenging the legality of congresses and even the National Convention.

He highlighted that the friction in the APC resulted in parallel congresses in 24 States namely: Abia, Adamawa, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Enugu, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Niger, Ondo, Oyo, Rivers, Sokoto and Zamfara.

The R-APC include members from the APC, including most of the leading members of the defunct nPDP, CPC, ANPP, ACN and others.

mhd5757:
Hey nairalanders, what do you think? Is this normal? Marriage doesn't appeal to me at all same as having kids, I prefer having dogs even now i have 2 of them and as soon as I get a job and make enough money I plan on getting 3 more making them 5 in number. I know most people, the first thing they want to do as soon as they get a job is to get married and have kids but not me, I'm also not interested in having a girlfriend, though I used to have one back then when I was in the university but we were forced to leave each other being that she had to go back to her country and I had to come back to Nigeria.
After that I got another girl here in Nigeria, but I had to leave her because she was too expensive and she was draining me financially. After that, I just lost interest in relationships and I decided to be single, I decided that even if I feel the need to lay with a woman I can just go to an ashawo hotel or get a steady woman who I can be calling any time I need company. I think this is the lifestyle that suits me especially in this harsh economy, its easier for me. If I get married and have kids imagine all the money I'm going to have to be spending, excess groceries, all kinds of bills, school fees and the list goes on.
At least having a steady woman to call like maybe once a week can't be as expensive as getting married and supporting a wife.
Also having dogs can't be as expensive as raising kids, with dogs all I need to do is to buy their feed, their grooming products and pay for their medical bills and probably training fees too but with kids and a wife imagine all the bills, the lists keep compiling and they never end.
What is your take on this? What do you think?

This flag represents the practice in Bini palace to keep and use indigeneous Edo men as blood sacrifice to their royal ancestors in Ife.

If you notice, this is image of an executioner and the red stand for blood.

ChangeIsCostant:
A 17-year-old girl simply identified as Peace was rushed to the hospital after feeling weak following a hot sex romp with her lover in Sapele area of Delta state. It was revealed that the teenage girl started feeling weak and faint after returning from work on Monday evening before she was taken to the hospital for checkup.

According to Sapele Oghenek, a Delta based journalist who shared the news in pidgin English, the doctor after running some tests - revealed that excessive sex was the cause of the girl's weakness before she was treated and discharged.

On getting home, the girl's mother who reportedly attends Jehovah's Witnesses beat her and told her to show her the boy responsible. The teenage girl took her mother to her boyfriend's house but he had already fled after being alerted.

According to the report, some area boys revealed that the girl's boyfriend had met them to help him with what to do because his girlfriend was laughing at him that he doesn't know how to service her well and last long in bed and that her ex-boyfriend was better.

The young man was directed to meet somebody who mixed a concoction for him to drink and be "empowered".

After drinking the concoction, he went into action with his girlfriend and almost wrecked havoc before she landed in the hospital.

The young man is nowhere to be found after taking off from his house.

14 March 2014


I posted this yesterday and whilst I am happy that some persons adopted the flag, I was very very provoked that some of our brothers and sisters who are suffering from the psychological problems of ethnical, cultural and social identities came out openly to condemn this flag using a foreign parameter as their yardstick. They decried it as fetish,diabolical, violence-projecting and pagan. If I may ask, do they really understand the imports of the symbols and colors of the flag before jumping to conclusion. Let me help them at least;

(1) QUEEN IDIA MASK:
The mask obviously is the head of the Edo warrior queen-mother Idia,the mother of Oba Esigie known as the wise King. Recall that Oba Esigie ruled over the whole of Bendel,Lagos,half Yorubalands,Onitsha and even some parts of today's north central. He was a great emperor and the first to receive a diplomatic mission from Europe and also the first black Ruler to set up an embassy in the land of the whiteman. He attained these feats with the help and encouragement of a mother who is now recorded by local and foreign history as one of the most dynamic and strongest women that ever came out of Africa. Why do you think her mask, not that of Queen Amina of Zazzau or any other historical Nigeria woman was adopted by the country in 1977 as the national symbol in that international festival of arts and culture? Even till date, the mask is still used by the country to project the viability of our culture, the virility and strength of the nigerian woman. Idia is the most popular of all the Edo powerful women on historical record and her mask dignifies the flag in the same way the head of queen Elizabeth does the currency of Britain and many of the English national monuments.

(2) THE RED COLOUR, first note that we have the colors in two separate version here. In the horizontal rectangle and in the three stars. In the rectangle, it is self explanatory. It signifies the precious blood shed by our heroes in building the great empire we are all so proud of. Surely, you wouldn't want them to be forgotten by their descendants who are today enjoying the peace they gave their lives for. Also recall that Ghana and Ethiopia have this red colour in their flag too and for the same reasons-memory of their fallen heroes. We can never forget easily the Benin massacre of 1897. A pogron that so much decimated our population that the Edo people who by the 19th century were the largest nation in West Africa rain forest is today regarded as a minority group. As for the stars, it highlights the beauty of the Edo nation.Rose the king of flowers ( ododo) is red. 3 stars signify the current people of Benin,Esan and Afemai who are direct offshoots of the great empire. We are beautiful and united family, aren't we?

(3) THE GREEN COLOUR.
This simply depict our geography and vegetation. We are in a rain forest which is ever green. Mark my words, oil or no oil, Edo nation can never lack of food because God in his mercy has been partial in favoring us with much agrarian gifts and resources. Edo and Ondo contributed most in the production of the agricultural wealth that built the old western region. Cocoa,rubber and palm oil, we remain número uno.

(4) THE WHITE COLOUR:

White is for peace and we are a very peaceful people unless we are unreasonably dared. We should stop using campus cult violence to define us. Every campus is populated by people from all ethnic groups in Nigeria not only Edo people. It is wrong to attribute the cult activities in AAU and Uniben to only Edo student. How many Edo persons were involved in the most violent activities in Nigeria...Niger Delta Militancy,Maintesina uprising and Boko haram insurgency..nil

(5) THE STATELY SWORD:

Need I explain this. Edo people are the most royal of all the nations in West African sub-region nay,the whole of Africa. We have a royal institution that is as old as the British monarchy, older than the sefewa dynasty and outlived the French empire. We are a dignified race ruled by majestic and honourable kings. Oba Eweka 1 was not a tyrant like Caesar Borgia of Rome,Oba Ewuare was not a homosexual like King James of England and Oba Ozolua the conqueror was never a pervert like Napoleon of France.

(7) THE MATCHET:
This has nothing to do with violence but simply depict our traditional professions. We were and still largely warriors, hunters and farmers. So the other sword or rather the matchet is a tool not an object of negative violence.

On a final note, it is an indisputable fact that rituals, violence and occultism has been practiced and executed by Christianity and Islam than any our indigenous religions. This should be another topic for another day..

A chat between a mother whose son is on life support and her boss has led to a debate on social media.

The mother sent a message to her boss explaining she couldn't come to work because her child is on life support. But the boss said that was no excuse to miss work and warned her she will be sacked if she doesn't show up to work the following day.

The chat was met with mixed reactions by social media users. Some said the boss was just being professional and it's wrong for the mother to let another person's business suffer because of her personal issue. While others said the boss was wrong to have reacted the way she did.
