At the on-going public hearing organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Downstream, Ubah asked NNPC to pay up
Accusations and counter-accusations continue to fly about the cold relationship between the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC and Capital Oil.

The Chairman of Capital Oil, Ifeanyi Ubah, has come out to say that corporation is owing him 16 billion Naira.

NNPC has been tackling Ubah over 11 billion Naira which it claimed was the worth of the product which Capital Oil allegedly diverted.

According to Ubah, the NNPC blew the entire incident out of proportion.

He added that claims and counter claims by both parties are subjects of litigation and investigation by anti-graft agencies.

“The contract which is what we operate with NNPC puts us in a position of a stock manager which is somewhat the vessel like an oil bank.

“This allows for coming in and loading out of products so long as we ensure that all parties having products in our storage ultimately receive their total stock.

“The NNPC in the past has also borrowed products from us to keep their supply and distribution chain running.

“NNPC claimed that we owe N11 billion but failed to reveal that they owe us N16 billion with a key portion of the debt spanning over two years,” Ubah said.

He added that his company has not denied that it had stock products belonging to NNPC but accused the national oil company of failing to conduct a reconciliation with Capital Oil before rushing to conclusions.

Members of the National Union Road Transport Union are back on the streets of Oshodi in defiance of a ban issued by the Lagos State government
Did Governor Akinwumi Ambode change his mind or are they pushing his goodwill too far?

The state government had on June 5 issued a ban on the activities of the union in Oshodi. The ban came in the wake of the alleged murder of a top union official.

The crises at Oshodi erupted after the death of Rasaq Bello, popularly known as Hamburger, which resulted into the attack on innocent citizens.

Bello, a prominent member of NURTW, was allegedly shot dead in Shogunle area during the local council primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on May 29.

Lagos State Commissioner for Transport, Anofiu Elegushi while announcing the ban had said the ban will affect all the seven branches of the NURTW operating in the area.

The commissioner added that there will be no collection of tickets or fees from transporters operating in the area while the suspension last.

Few weeks after the ban was imposed, it is now business as usual for the union members as they have returned to their duty posts .

Bounce News investigations revealed that after the initial bravado by the state government to enforce the ban which led to the arrest of three top members of the union in the area appears to be weakening.

A visit to major road junctions in Oshodi on Thursday showed none compliance with the order.

At Charity bus stop along the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, Bounce News spotted members of the union issuing tickets to Okada riders, tricycle operators and commercial buses.

At Oshodi Express, the agberos were carrying out their activities in full sway. The same scenario was observed in Post Office, Ladipo, Airport Junction and 7 & 8 bus stop.

It was gathered that the union leaders had on June 28 issued a circular to all commercial drivers in the area, notifying them of the sales of tickets as from June 30. This was after the transporters rejected several attempts by the union leaders to pacify them to buy the tickets.



It was further gathered that okada riders in the area had on the same day the circular was issued staged a peaceful protest to the Akinpelu Police Station.

The protest, however, yielded no result as the they were forced to buy the tickets on July 1.

Some of the Okada riders and tricycle operators who spoke with our correspondent said were forced to buy tickets despite the fact that the ban is still in place.

A tricycle operator, Semiu Salami, who runs his rounds along the Ladipo- Oshodi Express route, said he pays N1,400 for booking and loading to persons working for the NURTW, though he is usually issued a ticket of N300.


Reacting to the development, Lagos State Police Command PRO, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole said the ban is still in place.

He said he was not aware that the union members have returned to the streets.

He promised to look into the matter and report his findings to Bounce News.

Efforts to speak with the leaders of the NURTW in the state failed. The mobile phone lines of the state chairman, Tajudeen Agbede, were not reachable as of the time of filing this report.

About N7 million was believed to be lost daily to by the union since the ban on its operations was enforced.

The House of Representatives want to know what Nigeria is doing with interests in the nation's foreign reserve accounts in the care of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
“Are we earning or are we just running charity with it (interest) or just leave people to manage it?

“Are we capitalising the interest and what is the interest? Nobody has ever told us,’’ the Speaker of the House of Representative, Mr Yakubu Dogara, asked as he sought answers.

He wants more information on the interests accruing to Nigeria’s foreign reserve accounts and he wants it made known to Nigerians.

These accounts are in custody of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), according to the lawmaker, but nothing is said about it and the House of Representatives want to know why.

Mr Dogara, was addressing a delegation from the Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC) that visited him in Abuja on Thursday.

He pointed out that agencies like the commission should be in custody of such figures for dissemination to the public when necessary.

The House had on December 15, 2015, passed a resolution calling on the CBN to declare interests accruing on the foreign reserves accounts of the federation.

“We earn interest on foreign reserves, like Botswana. They don’t have oil but the interest on reserve is their second highest revenue source after natural resources.

“You will see it as a budget item, interest earned from foreign reserves.

“In Nigeria, we have been asking the question, `are we earning or are we just running charity with it or just leave people to manage it?

“Are we capitalising the interest and what is the interest? Nobody has ever told us,’’ Dogara said.

The lawmaker further pointed out that if the CBN was not forthcoming with regards to what had been happening with the interest earned on foreign reserves, there should be an agency of government to handle it.

The speaker also wants to know why a ceiling on borrowing as stated in the FRC Act was not adhered to.

“Do we continue borrowing until we have borrowed billions?

“The Fiscal Responsibility Act speaks to those things. So, why is it that it is not being done?’’ he asked.

He said that there was urgent need for the government to properly fund the commission to enable it to deliver on its mandate and strengthen its powers.

This former King of Spain, Juan Carlos was a sex addict.

In 18 years, he slept with at least 2,154 women, according to a new book on the former monarch, coming out in September.

This couldn’t be weirder.

Who in the world keeps count of all the women he has bedded?

But do not be mistaken, he was also married to a beautiful woman, Princess Sophia of Greece and Denmark.

The explosive book says the retired European monarch had an astonishing 2,154 sexual partners between 1976 and 1994 after he allegedly became estranged from his wife, to whom he is still married.

The 79-year-old abdicated the throne in 2014, making way for his son Felipe VI, who began a tour of Great Britain on Wednesday.

The new book, Juan Carlos I: The King of 5,000 Lovers was written by Amadeo Martínez Ingles.

It will be published in September, according to a summary published in The Times.

King Carlos claims he was already a prolific lovemaker prior to his 1962 union with the King of Greece’s daughter, to whom he is still married.

The addiction seems to have always been with him.

He reportedly slept with 332 partners while at military academy as a young man, “which is good for any actor specialising in porn films: four per week,” the book notes.

It doesn't appear to be the second coming of Christ but some people are convinced beyond mere words that they heva sen the messiah face to face.

Thousands of believers in Nigeria’s commercial capital, Lagos are making pilgrimages to a church in Ikorodu where a strange image has appeared on a wall.

The image, believed by some people to be the face of Jesus, reportedly appeared on an uncompleted building at the Holy Ghost Fire Apostolic Church, Ogunse Estate, Sagamu Road, Ikorodu, Lagos state.

The stained wall was first noticed on Saturday after heavy rainfall . One of the artisans working in building were said to have screamed after seeing the image and abruptly stopped the day’s work, claiming he had seen Jesus Christ.

As the story spread, the crowds grew as people continued to troop in and out of the premises to see things for themselves.

Commercial motorcyclists made brisk businesses transporting passengers.

Our correspondent, who visited the church on Wednesday, observed that the building has been turned into a shrine, as visitors dropped sachets and bottles of water at the site they consider holy.

Our correspondent also observed that the image is more clearly discernible from afar than up close.


People were seen offering supplication and making requests for wealth, divine opportunities and healing.

There were many others who, gripped with fear, stood afar and watched people while satisfying their curiosity.

It was gathered that due to the large crowd that arrived in turns to catch a glimpse of the image, the church authorities in the first two days had to allowed the people to enter the building in turns of 10 to either have a closer view of the image or pray for forgiveness.

The church has also put on hold construction works in the premises due to the number of pilgrims.

A visitor, who simply gave his name as Segun, said he heard about the development and decided to find out for himself. “I heard that Jesus appeared here, so I came to find out the truth. I have seen the picture myself, it is true. I saw the head but wouldn’t know if it is Jesus. I believe that Jesus is coming soon,” he said.

Another respondent, who chose to remain anonymous said, “I heard that Jesus appeared, so I came here. I saw something around his image.”


One of the security guards in the church told Bounce News that on the first day that the image appeared, people struggled to get close to touch it and were shouting: “Jesus save me,” “Jesus the son of God, have mercy on me.”

Others visitors, however doubted there was anything of spiritual significance here. One man said there was no way Christ would make an appearance at Ikorodu. There were far too many killings here, he said.

Leaders of the church contacted by Bounce News declined comments on the matter.

The church was founded in 1994 by Prophet/Pastor David Oladejo, popularly known as Baba White.

Sightings of Jesus Christ are not uncommon in Nigeria. In 2016, hundreds of people trooped to Saint Augustine’s Catholic Church which is located in the Nenger area of Makurdi, Benue State, following the appearance of an image which was described as Jesus Christ.

Sheriff was removed by a five-man panel of justices of the Supreme Court and installed the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee as the authentic leader of the former ruling party.
The ruling by the Supreme Court on Wednesday, ending Alli Modu Sheriff’s stronghold of the Peoples Democratic Party's National chairmanship has left him in shock.

Sheriff said he was still waiting for his lawyers to brief him on the details of the judgment.

His reaction was sent to the media on Thursday by his erstwhile deputy, Dr. Cairo Ojuogboh and the former spokesperson for his faction, Mr Bernard Mikko.

Mikko, who signed the statement, said Nigerians should continue to pray for the country.

The three-paragraph statement said: “We received with shock the 12th July judgement of the Supreme Court on the leadership of the People’s Democratic Party.

“Though we still await the full written judgement of the highest court from our lawyers who will fully brief us on the details of the judgement. In the interim, we ask all members and supporters to remain steadfast in prayers for Nigeria.

“Meanwhile, we continue with our avowed demands that the party must be given back to the owners at the grassroots to always elect their party officials and those to contest elections for them at all levels. Internal democracy must be institutionalized in the party".

The justices in their judgement ordered Senator Sheriff to cease parading himself as the National Chairman of the party and installed the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee as the authentic leader of the former ruling party.

His sacking ended the 18-month leadership crisis in the party.

Dangote Cement plans to invest about $4 billion which translates to 1.2 trillion naira over 36 months as it attempts to scale up its production capacity in Africa
The price of cement in Nigeria has been pegged at 2,700 Naira despite the government's claim of being self-sufficient in cement production.

However, Africa’s richest man, who is also Africa’s number one cement manufacturer, is planning to double the size of cement plants in Africa.

Perhaps that could crash the price of the product and make it more affordable to Nigerians looking to build their own homes.

Dangote Cement plans to double its investment on the continent.

According to a senior executive, Edwin Devakumar who spoke to Reuters on Tuesday, the company is seeking to expand its operations to hit annual production of about 80 million tonnes within the next three years.

Dangote, Africa's biggest cement producer, has an annual production capacity of 45 million tonnes.

In 2015, Dangote signed $4.34 billion worth of contracts with China's Sinoma Engineering to build cement plants across Africa.

At the time Dangote projected to reach 100 million tonnes production capacity by 2020.

"Our focus in the next three years is that we should be going toward 80 million metric tonnes of cement production," he said, adding that the expansion would be funded through loans from Chinese and Indian banks and cash flows.

10. He became a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2007

Two workers of the Osun State Broadcasting Corporation have been suspended indefinitely by the management of the corporation for allegedly calling Governor Rauf Aregbesola an unprintable name on a WhatsApp group.
The duo were alleged to have taken to social media to celebrate the victory of the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate in the Osun West Senatorial District by-election, Ademola Adeleke, and hurled abuses at the governor at the same time.

It was gathered that Kunle Makanjuola and Gbadebo Adepoju were slammed with indefinite suspension on Monday by the management of the corporation, after officials of the corporation were shown the chats where the workers allegedly insulted the governor.

Makanjuola is said to be a level 12 officer at the OSBC Ventures while Adepoju is a deputy director at the corporation’s Marketing Department.

Adepoju allegedly wrote, “Drama in Osun State as state government, under the leadership of Rauf Aregbesola, begins the payment of June salaries at exactly 1am on Osun West Senatorial by-election day.

“Local government and state civil servants from Osun West Senatorial District, please don’t be deceived by the alerts, the alert is your entitlement and not a gift. You worked for it, even though you deserve more. Don’t because you get your half salaries, unexpectedly behind the usual schedule, give your votes to the APC. They are full of deceit. Vote for liberation, vote Ademola Adeleke, vote PDP.”

Another worker of the OSBC, Folakemi Alonge, who is a journalist, was said to have been queried for allegedly insulting a member of the House of Assembly at one of the polling units during the election.

The lawmaker accosted Alonge and asked her who she voted for but the journalist, who was said to have been angered by the question, asked the lawmaker to leave her alone or else she would embarrass him openly.

The lawmaker reported her to the management and the management queried her but the issue has been resolved.

Commissioner for Information in the state, Adelani Baderinwa, while reacting to the suspension, said the suspension was an internal matter of the OSBC and not that of the state government.

Dbanj's album never dropped. His album titled "The King Don Come" never came on the date he promised.
Fans may lose trust in the Kokomaster who did not keep to his word about dropping his album on the date he announced.

On June 27, 2017, D’banj uploaded the artwork for his forthcoming album “King Don Come" and it was tagged with the date 7-7-17. That’s July 7, 2017.

It was a release date, announced strategically with the artwork for the project.

That day came and went, but D’banj’s album was nowhere to be found.

Instead, he announced that D’Cream records, has been valued at over $100 million.

dbanj's album has come
Franklin Amudo, D’banj’s business manager said, “We never said the album was dropping on that date. The date is significant to the D’banj business and brand. The C.R.E.A.M platform was officially 1 year.”

In August 2016, D'banj launched “THE C.R.E.A.M PLATFORM” a subscription-based digital platform for customers which avails them the opportunity to develop, actualize, get mentored and sell their creative content fully financed by the platform when chosen as winners.

Which one seems more like a lie? The actual announcement? or the manager's explanation?

Truly, 7-7-17 made it a year since the company launched but does that negate the fact that D’banj misled fans with his social media announcement?

No matter what happens, D’banj’s “King Don Come” album is highly anticipated and that 'king' must come.

It was mortal combat in Ikorodu when a man stripped till he was naked to take on a police officer, while a crowd gathered to enjoy this free wrestling match.
A naked man was caught on tape fighting a police officer.

Instead of separating the ‘two fighting’, residents gathered round to cheer the man in his birthday suit.

According to reports, the incident happened in Ikorodu, Lagos.

In the one minute video, the naked man can be seen walking up to a police officer and goading him to fight.

Since the police is ‘our friend’ the police man engaged the naked man in a fierce combat during which the man managed to knock the officer to the ground.

A news media, Al Sumeria, reported Tuesday, citing an IS statement that Al-Baghdadi was indeed dead and that his successor would be named soon
Islamic State terrorist group, IS is losing on all fronts.

Last week, it suffered a heavy defeat in the hands of Iraqi military in a fight for their Mosul base.

And now, it has confirmed that its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had died.

Al-Baghdadi had previously been reported to have been killed by Russian bomb on June 16, but there was no confirmation.

But a news media, Al Sumeria, reported Tuesday, citing an IS statement that Al-Baghdadi was indeed dead and that his successor would be named soon.

Al-Baghdadi appeared in the media for the first time in 2014 when he declared the creation of a caliphate in the Middle East.

Since then, the media outlets have reported several times about the death of the IS leader, though the information has never been confirmed.

Experts said if Al-Baghdadi is confirmed dead, he is likely to be succeeded by one of his top 2 lieutenants - Iyad Al-Obaidi and Ayad Al-Jumaili, both were army officers under late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Experts on Islamist groups said they see no clear successor but regard Al-Obaidi and Al-Jumaili as the leading contenders, though neither would be likely to assume Baghdadi’s title of “caliph” or overall commander of Muslims.

On Thursday night Bobrisky struck again!

The Snapchat star took to his platform to rant about sex and relationship and why he thinks women should demand payment after having sex with their partners.

To justify his idea about getting paid after sex, the famous cross dresser says it is because he, like other women, menstruate every month.

“Imagine I’m going through hard pain here and one idiot will now tell me he/she likes me without giving me some dollars. I will swear for you,” he begins, adding, “My monthly period comes with so much pain.”

This revelation by the acclaimed king/queen of Snapchat will trigger major conversation especially among women.

It's been a dark Monday for residents and business owners in Idi Iro, Mushin as two persons have been left dead following a clash between rival gangs in the area.

Reports say trouble had been brewing in the neighbourhood for a while but things started to heat up Saturday morning, and continued all weekend before escalating Monday morning.

Two persons, reportedly belonging to a rival gang were killed in the clash, while several properties were also destroyed.

Bounce News which was at the scene of the attack gathered that one of those killed was Kayode, a leader of one of the clashing factions in Idi Oro.

It was further gathered that a building located on Labinjo street which was razed belonged to Ile Sanmi, also a leader in one of the rival gangs. Also destroyed were cars parked on adjoining streets, while shops were also heavily looted.

Bounce News further exclusively gathered that all the warring factions belong to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Meanwhile eye witnesses allege that one of the deceased was killed by members of the police force, who reportedly aided one of the feuding gangs.

In the wake of this, police men have reportedly left the area as members of Operation MENSA are the ones currently manning the area.

So far, normalcy appears to have returned to the community as banks and businesses are open, though the bank gates remain locked.

Tension however remains palpable in the area as many believe the rival gang who lost a leader could launch a counter attack.

Bounce News takes a ride with a physically challenged Lagos danfo driver. He shows us how he drives with one leg and talks about his life, challenges and dreams.

Bounce News takes a ride with a physically challenged Lagos danfo driver. He shows us how he drives with one leg and talks about his life, challenges and dreams.
Born in Badagry Lagos, Arafat lost one of his legs at the age of 10 in what appears to be a case of polio but he would tell you “enemies of progress” afflicted him with a disease.

Well, that is no more the focus because he has since moved on to make the rest of his life meaningful despite his challenge.

If you ply the Mile12-Ojota-Ojuelegba route regularly by bus, you may have been driven by him but you would never know that the danfo carrying you is being driven by a “crippled” man.

Asked to introduce himself, he tells you proudly, “I am a driver and a sportsman” then you are tempted to look down at his short dangling limb.

How does he do it? Bounce News needed a ride with Arafat to find out how. The story of Josa Arafat is one that validates the saying that impossible is nothing.

He is a man almost everyone knows and it took just a few days to get him to Bounce with us.

From Ojota to Ojuelegba to Costain and back to Ojota; from LASTMA officials to Police, agbero and fellow drivers, they all hailed him as “their man” throughout the exciting and humbling ride.


Arafat drives a bus with a manual gear system. His mastery of the skill shows years of constant practice with his right hand well trained to do most of the job.

With it he controls the gear. He holds the short dangling lower limb like a rod with which he presses the throttle and the brake.

He says: “Nobody taught me driving except God. I did not learn from anyone. It was like God telling me ‘nobody can help you, take this skill and help yourself’.

“I cannot stay at home waiting for someone to come and feed me.”

By the way, Arafat has won some laurels for the Lagos state in powerlifting but complains that his sports career has not been rewarding.

“I won a silver medal for Lagos state in 2012 at the National Sports Festival. Government said they would employ us but they did not give me the job.

“Since competitions do not come often, this is the work God has given me, so I use driving to sort myself out and secure my future,” he said.

Arafat also has some words for other physically challenged people who would rather stay idle in self-pity or beg for alms.

“To other people with disability like me, come out and work, stop begging. If you have hands and eyes, you can be a shoemaker, phone technician or do other things and still live a normal life; get married and have children.

“Try to help yourself. Your challenge does not mean you should sit down waiting for God. You need to move out,” he said.

Happily married with two kids and living a decent life, Arafat knows he has what many able-bodied people do not have and he is grateful.

He does not own his own bus. So, he currently depends on others who have a bus to give him to earn his daily pay. Of course, the vehicle owners take the bulk of the return.

Owning his own bus is a big dream but one that will make him more financially secure. He says if he gets a bus even on hire purchase, he has the capacity to pay back from his daily earnings.

Thinking you would never take a ride with a crippled driver? Well, Arafat tells you, “When you see others in the vehicle sitting calmly you would join them.

“Everyone that has entered my vehicles have all come out in peace and I pray nothing bad will ever happen.”

Waleola Sunday (32) was a Cherubim and Seraphim (C&S) Church pastor who picks up little boys from public schools during break time and performs homosexual acts with them.

A Chief Magistrate Court in Akure, the Ondo State Capital, presided over by Mrs. Victoria Bob-Manuel has found him guilty of child molestation.

He was on Wednesday sentenced to three years in jail after pleading guilty.

Sunday confessed that he had sodomized about four children and just like others in similar situation, he blamed the same man – devil.

“I would take them to the bush and seduce before they returned back to their classes,” he told the court.

“I believe it’s devils work because I would always come back to my senses after I molested the little boys.”

Sunday was arrested at his church in Oke Aro area of Akure by men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) after a tip-off.

It is generally expected that one only seeks professional certifications after securing an academic qualification like a degree or HND from the university or polytechnic.

So, friends and relatives criticized Elizabeth Orefuwa when she took an unusual route of seeking professional certification even when she was yet to gain admission into a university.

She knew in good time that perhaps hers was destined to be a unique story and she was ready to live it up to reality.

She ended up winning from both worlds.

The now married and pregnant Mrs Elizabeth Orefuwa graduated as Lagos State University (LASU) best graduating students in 2015/2016 with a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.74 in Accounting Education.

Telling her story during the institution’s 21st convocation on Wednesday in Lagos, she revealed that she wrote the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) seven times before gaining admission.

Orefuwa, 29, said it was this frustrating process of seeking for university admission that led her into starting a professional career in accounting.

“The journey through the institution was not easy; it took me seven years of writing the UTME before I finally gained admission in 2012.

“I also applied for direct entry three times at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.

“During this period of waiting, I started professional career at the Institute of Chartered Accountant of Nigeria (ICAN) in 2007 and became qualified as an Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) in 2010,” Orefuwa revealed.

She said that she wanted to study accounting but fate brought her to education. Surprisingly, she enjoyed every bit of it but never dreamt of coming out with a first class and becoming the best student.

According to her, self-determination and motivation through her father’s insisting on academic excellence gave her an edge.

“My aim is to get my first-degree certificate after several years of waiting and to satisfy my dad, who has been insisting on academic certificate before professional certificate.

“He would always say to me then that I have put the cart before the horse.

“However, what kept me going was self-belief, focus and determination bearing in mind that I am not competing with other but with my own capabilities.”

She said that her marriage at the beginning of her final year and the pregnancy condition did not affect her academic performance.

“I had a CGPA of 4.72 before marriage and I graduated with 4.74 point.

“I got married during my final year in 2015 and my husband was very supportive throughout that period.”

Although a chartered accountant, Orefuwa said she would love to teach and combine it with practising accounting profession.
