Phones / Video: Tricks Used By Computer Village Traders Sell Fake Phones To You by chimezieeze98: 12:13pm On Aug 28, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O59pqZzWEI0

Many threads have been opened in this forum of how fufu or eba has been sold to members, or close associates of this forum as phones.

Many who went home with these fake phones are left perplexed, with most thinking it was Juju that was used in them because they had earlier tested the phones and they were working perfectly, only to get home and see dead phones.

I came across this videos and decided to share with you guys. Hopefully, I will save someone from being scammed today.

When you get to the market, you will meet people hawking on the streets with phones in their hands; if you see the phone you like and feel like buying, they will give you the original phone — the phone you really want to buy and allow you to operate it well. They might even show you the accessories and manual and when you are convinced that the phone is working perfectly, the negotiation of the price will commence immediately," he explained, scrupulously.

"You guys will agree to pay some certain amount of money. And, after you might have agreed on payment, they will tell you that they need or want to package it for you. Immediately they take the phone, they will give you another phone entirely, though it will be the same colour and look alike. After getting home and you open it, you will see that it is not working or that it is only ‘fufu’ they have given you."

"Of course you will be furious and when you get back to the exact place the phone was sold to you, you may get them and they will ask if you weren't the one who checked the phone yourself.

"And, they have ‘arrangee’ [fake] policemen who will come to shout at you just to intimidate and initiate that fear in you. If you are the type that is not brave, you will begin to beg them instead. All you will want to do at that time is to get rid of their trouble."

"This is the logic. They'll hold the original item, let's say a phone. They'll negotiate with the intending buyer using the original product. They know what they want to do. The fake product will be in their pocket. After negotiating with the intending buyer, they'll quickly change the original with the fake while the buyer is counting money.

"They are good at doing that without the buyer noticing. They'll then raise alarm about the arrival of the police. When that happens, one wouldn't even be able to check what one has bought. Then, they'll run away."

So guys, you all should be careful next time you gi to computer village.

It's all slight of hand. They distract you and change the phone when yiur attention is drawn away.

Be guided

Parents beg for help as their son who went to Ukraine for school goes missing after hanging out with friends on a yacht

Nigerian student missing after yacht party in Ukraine

Parents of a Nigerian student in Ukraine, Caleb Obari-Mark, have solicited help from Nigerian and Ukrainian authorities over their missing son.

A Ukraine-based news website, Kyiv Post, reported that Caleb “disappeared while taking a boat trip in Odesa”.

It noted that Nigerians in Ukraine are alleging racism after the Nigerian graduate got missing.

20-year-old Caleb was said to be a fresh graduate from Ukraine’s Sumy State Agrarian University.

The platform reported on Wednesday that Caleb attended a yacht party at the invitation of a woman in the southern city of Odesa on August 20.

The Ukrainian police are said to be investigating the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

According to reports, two private divers have been engaged to explore the Black Sea, in case he drowned.

In a video that surfaced online on Wednesday, Caleb’s parents pleaded with Nigerians in Ukraine to assist with information on their missing son’s whereabouts.

Mark, who is Caleb’s father, in the video, said, “My son who just graduated from Sumy State Agrarian University is missing. It is very unfortunate. We never expected what had happened.

“On Thursday, I got a call from the embassy that my son was invited by a woman for a party and when they came back, they came without my son. I was surprised, so I had to call the embassy back. I also called the school.

“We are not happy and comfortable. We don’t sleep again. That is why we have decided to escalate this matter and get to the root of it. Who took this boy out and never returned with him?

We want every good Nigerian in Ukraine to come into this matter. This could happen to anyone if we take it for granted.”

On her part, Caleb’s mother expressed concern over the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of her son.

“I am looking for my son right now. He was invited to a surprise party to drive on a yacht. Caleb did not return.

“I strongly believe that you (the host) are hiding him somewhere. Our son must be found. This is my belief. I believe that wherever my son is held hostage, he would be found. I believe he is safe and would be found,” she said.

Politics / VIDEO: FG Stops Subsidy On Digital Switchover Published by chimezieeze98: 4:05pm On Aug 25, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aKgtrFiei0

The Federal Government says “there will be no more subsidies, either for set-top boxes or Signal carriage” as it plans to resume the rollout of Digital Switchover, a transition from analogue to digital television broadcasting.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, disclosed this on Tuesday in Abuja at a “Digiteam” meeting to foster dialogue among the various stakeholders in the DSO architecture.

Mohammed stressed that while the government is looking for money to pay outstanding debts and restart the DSO roll out, the process will be fully private sector driven and self-sustaining.

On our part, we have made tremendous progress in our efforts to get the much-needed funds for the DSO process, in particular, to pay outstanding debts that will ginger stakeholders to resume the rollout and bring the massive benefits of the DSO to Nigerians.

As I speak, we are putting finishing touches to a memo we plan to send to the Federal Executive Council as part of our relentless efforts to secure the funds to restart the process, and we are very optimistic that our efforts will pay off soon.

The Analogue to Digital Switch Over must not be delayed any longer than absolutely necessary,” he said.

Following the successful launch of the DSO in April 2016 in Jos, Plateau state, the federal government announced the reduction of price of set-top boxes from the official N10,000 to N1,500 in order to get it across to all Nigerians.

About 200,000 boxes were also given out for the pilot phase free of charge.

Similarly, the Plateau Government also announced subsidy plans for its citizens and promised to distribute 300,000 boxes to them.

Mohammed noted that moving ahead with the DSO was critical to the post-COVID prosperity of the Creative Industry and that was why the government has taken it as a priority.

He recalled the enthusiasm that greeted the launch of the DSO in Jos, noting that the process was stalled due to many factors but mainly lack of funds.

“After the launch of the pilot phase in Jos, the launch train moved fairly quickly to Abuja on December 22, 2016, then to Ilorin, Kwara State, on December 20, 2017, Kaduna two days later on December 22 2017.

“We then proceeded to Enugu on February 12, 2018, and finally to Osogbo, Osun State, on Feb. 23 2018.

“Over two years later, we have not launched the DSO in any state, even

The bottom line is that we need to think out of the box if we are to complete this process. Nigerians have waited far too long to enjoy the benefits of digital television.”

The meeting was attended by representatives of the National Broadcasting Commission, Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria, Set Top Boxes Manufacturers, broadcast stations, among others. when we have 31 more states to cover!

Politics / (VIDEO) NNPC To Generate N19 Trillion Revenue Between 2021 To 2023 by chimezieeze98: 3:59pm On Aug 24, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FRVhv4FEzE

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Thursday said it would generate a total revenue of N19.545 trillion between 2021 and 2023.

The Corporation stated this in an interactive session organised by the Senate Joint Committee on Finance and National Planning on 2021 – 2023 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP).

It also said the report on missing 48 million barrels of crude oil was unfounded and a total falsehood.

“Our revenue projections for the three-year period of 2021 to 2023 are: in 2021, we projected to generate N5.6 trillion; in 2022, we projected to generate a revenue of N6.575 trillion and in 2023, we expect to generate a total of N7.37 trillion,” the Group Managing Director (GMD) of NNPC, Mele Kyari, represented by the Chief Finance Officer, Umar Ajiya, said.

It also urged the National Assembly to carry out a forensic audit on the claim, if it so desired as it approved the corporation’s yearly budget.

The issues of alleged missing barrels of crude oil and unapproved yearly budget of the corporation was raised at an interactive session organised by the Senate Joint Committee on Finance and National Planning on 2021 – 2023 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP).

The Chairman of the joint Committee, Solomon Adeola (APC Lagos- West), had raised the issues.

Mr Adeola had asked for proven evidence and not verbal denial as done by NNPC through media advertisements on the issues.

Mr Ajiya, in his response to the allegations, said the fact was that there were no records of ships that sailed out of the Nigerian waters with such contraband and clearance from the Nigerian Navy and Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR).

“No ship leaves the country without clearance from the appropriate unit of the Nigerian Navy and there is no way any ship with such alleged stolen crude can escape from the Nigeria shore.

“As far as the NNPC is concerned, no barrel of crude oil is missing as falsely alleged and very ready to be investigated over it inform of commissioning of a forensic audit by the national assembly at its own cost,” he said.

He told the lawmakers that the yearly budget of the corporation was vetted and approved by them through consideration and passage of MTEF and FSP that entailed revenue projections of the corporation.

“Proposals such as our revenue projection, cost of operations are well stated in all MTEF/FSP documents made available to the national assembly for consideration and approval, the basis upon which the nation’s budget is passed and signed into law, meaning that it is you (national assembly) that approves our yearly budget,” he explained.

He said the current GMD of NNPC is a change agent and the corporation under him has nothing to hide.

He explained further that the 21 dollar per barrel production cost the corporation was incurring on each barrel of crude oil, would soon be reduced to 13 dollars per barrel to reduce production cost.

On the 40 dollars per barrel projected as oil price benchmark for the N12.6trillion 2021 budget, the NNPC boss said the projection was arrived at, based on available variables.

“Nobody can determine what oil price will be tomorrow, which informs pessimistic thinking as far as such a parameter is concerned,” he said.

Many persons were reportedly killed when some members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) clashed with the police in Enugu state on Sunday.

Policemen were said to have invaded a building when IPOB members were holding a meeting at Emene in Enugu.

They reportedly resisted the attempt to disperse them, prompting the police to apply force.

This resulted in a violent clash between the IPOB members and the police officers who started firing gunshots.

A team of security operatives was said to have been immediately deployed to the scene after which they were able to arrest many of the IPOB members.

TheCable could not immediately confirm the number of casualties but a witness said “many people” were feared killed with their bodies reportedly taken away by the security operatives.

Daniel Ndukwe, spokesman of the Enugu state police command, could not be reached for comments as of the time this report was filed.

Sunday’s violence is the latest of frequent clashes between the police and IPOB members since the group was declared a terrorist organisation by the federal government in 2018.

Hundreds of the Biafran agitators who were arrested during their rallies and similar meetings in various parts of the south-east are currently facing prosecution.

Politics / Edo: Under Jonathan, Apc’s Oshiomhole Won Election Twice – PDP Reminds Buhari by chimezieeze98: 4:26pm On Jul 08, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhFQqgf_Q8I

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has told President Muhammadu Buhari to create a level-playing field during the governorship election in Edo state.

He spoke on Tuesday at the inauguration of the party’s campaign council for the September 19, 2020 poll.

Secondus said the election has been made easy, going by the records of Governor Godwin Obaseki and his deputy, Philip Shuiabu.

In his speech, the chairman reminded Buhari that under President Goodluck Jonathan “in a ruling party, Comrade Adams Oshiohmole won election twice as opposition because of the transparency of the time”.

“As we go into this election in the same Edo, our citizens are in shock as the country continues to slide dangerously into one crisis or the other”.

He urged Buhari to rise to the challenge of leadership and defend Nigeria’s Unity by conducting a free, fair and credible election in Edo state.


Secondus advised the federal government to “stop the use of military and other security operatives in abuse of electoral rules.”

The political leader said a free and fair election in Edo will not only stabilize the country politically, it would avert “an impending doom that could make the doomsday prediction about Nigeria’s disintegration come true, God forbid”.

Secondus urged the campaign team to ensure that the electoral desires of the people of Edo state are realized.

He added that the heightened tension in Edo was because APC had nothing to offer to get the votes of Nigerians and “are resorting to all devious means to undermine the democratic process”.

“APC might be standing on the excitement of its previous rigged elections in Osun, Ekiti, Kano and Kogi states in the past and think that their victory at the tribunal legitimizes their underhand act, but they forget to put into consideration the anger of God and the people to evil doers who refuse to change.”


The PDP chairman charged Nigerians, particularly Edo people to rise and defend their votes on election day.

Politics / 774,000 Jobs: Again, Keyamo Clashes With Senate Over Implementation -VIDEO by chimezieeze98: 11:34pm On Jul 07, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq07JLCPppc


774,000 Jobs: Again, Kayamo Disagree With Senate Over Execution Of Programme

Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo says the constitution empowers his office to supervise the execution of the Special Public Works Programme of the Federal Government.

Kayamo made the disclosure in an interview with newsmen, after the Senate Committee on Labour called for a new proposal to implement the project.

The Senate Committee on Labour had in a meeting with the President of Senate Ahmad Lawan and Ministers of Labour declared that the earlier proposal on implementation of the project presented by Keyamo was null and void.

Senate at the meeting directed the Director-Generator of NDE, Dr Nasiru Mohammed to present a new proposal for implementation of the program,insisting that NDE must implement the programme and not the Ministry.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige had also at the meeting appologised to Senate on behalf of the ministry, noting that Keyamo’s position on the project was not sacrosanct.

However, Keyamo said: “This distinguished National Assembly, I believe that they are the lawmakers and they desire to comply strictly with the provisions of the law.

“Now it is important that all of you and all Nigerians should go back and read NDE Act.

“You can see that the whole struggle today is how to bypass me in the execution of this programme.

“With the provision of the law I don’t know how they are going to go about that.

“I have to go back to my principal the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who gives directives.

“By provision of section 2 (3) of the NDE act I am the Chairman of the board of the NDE, ,so when you say NDE should go back and bring their plan.

“It will come back to me because I am still the Chairman of the NDE

“Secondly if you look at section 15 of the NDE act the minister may give directive of a general nature to the NDE, in order words you cannot even do a work plan without coming back to the minister.

“The third point is that by virtue of my appointment as minister, the President gave a directive in October 2019 that I should go and supervise generally the activities of the NDE .

“So I have quoted the position of the law and the presidential mandate,
The fourth one is that beyond the general mandate, the president specifically instructed me by memo in May for me to go and supervise the preparation and execution of this project.

“The last and the most important is that, go back and read section 16(1) of the NDE act, by the instruction of the Presidency an inter ministerial committee has already proposed that local committee must drive this selection process.

“We can not stay here in Abuja and select 1000 persons per each local Government.

” So if you look at section 15(1) it said the minister shall constitute committees for the NDE.

“The director general of NDE has no such powers to constitute committees by law.

“So when you say go back and do your work plan and come, are you telling the director general to break the law, are you telling the director general to disobey his appointee which is the President?

” Are you telling the Director-General to disobey his immediate boss which is the minister?

“That is where we are on this issue. So I will go back to my employer which is the President. The president will give directives.”

He said the directives by the National Assembly as to execution of the project was not binding on him.

“This is a great constitutional issue that will go to the Attorney-General at the end of the day for interpretation.

“Just like I said, if the Presidency says I should step aside and allow them hijack the process because the game as you have seen today is simply that they are conniving with certain functionary of Government to design the program, hijack the programme against the wishes of Nigerians and that is what I have being against .

“And I will continue to stand by that,they are very distinguished members, the law is the law, our constitution is the constitution. ”

The Director-General of NDE Dr Nasiru Ladan also in an interview with newsmen said :“as far as we are concerned, the jobs is sole responsibility of the NDE, from the planning, process, to the execution.

“The N52bilion appropriated by National Assembly is in NDE, and by powers given to us by National Assembly, I, Dr Nasiru Mohammed Director General of NDE owe a pirority to the programme.”

He said the the 20 man state selection committee earlier constituted to drive the selection of the 774,000 potential beneficiaries of the jobs stands null and void.(NAN).

Crime / VIDEO: 3 Female Suspects Arrested Over 818 Rounds Of Live Ammunition by chimezieeze98: 1:11pm On Jun 25, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eaqi5SZ8LU


Police on Wednesday in Abuja has arrested and paraded three female suspects for a failed attempt to move 818 rounds of live ammunition from Kano State to Yenagoa in Bayelsa State.

The suspects along with 36 others were paraded before newsmen by the Force Public Relations Officer, FPRO, Frank Mba, a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), for alleged offences ranging from kidnapping, cattle-rustling to gunrunning amongst others.

According to him, the suspected owner of the ammunitions, one Yower, who is currently being detained by the military, had concealed the consignment inside a half bag of rice and instructed one the suspects, his wife, Elena Yower, to take it to the motor park in Kano to be delivered to another suspect, Favour Bello in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

He said that on getting to the motor park, the motor boys complained that the half bag of rice was rather too heavy and became suspicious which made them open it and discover the ammunitions.

The FPRO appealed to the members of the public to always cross-check any parcel or load being given to them for delivery so as not to fall victim of any eventuality.

Narrating her role in the incident, Mrs Elena Yower said that of her husband of seven years instructed her via telephone to take the half bag of rice to the motor park for onward delivery to one Miss Favour Bello in faraway Yenagoa in Bayelsa State, and that she had no knowledge of the contents of the bag rather than it was half a bag of rice her husband told her.

Mrs Yower described her husband as a gentleman who might have been influenced by his friends in their desire to acquire material things in a hurry and she insisted that she only carried out her husband’s instructions.

She said that she only got to know that the ammunitions were concealed inside the half bag of rice when the military police came to arrest her and detained for one week before being moved to Abuja for further investigation.

In her confession to the press, Favour Bello confirmed that she was actually expecting the parcel from Kano having been duly briefed by Yower who is now being detained by military authorities over the incident.

In a related development, the Police also paraded a 29-year-old suspect, a father, who specialises in robbing car hire service operators of their vehicles at gunpoint after giving them poisoned edible things or soft drinks.

The suspect who identified himself as Moses and an artist said that he was in the business to raise money to purchase his instruments. He said he has stolen several vehicles after he was released from prison recently.

Moses said that the stolen vehicles were sold off at giveaway prices, explaining for instance that a Golf car was sold for ₦80,000.

Speaking on this development, the FPRO warned car hire service operators not to take any edible thing from passengers in whatever any guise.

Also, another suspect who specialises in stealing of motorcycles was also paraded.

The suspect who claimed to be a motorcycle rider confirmed to have stolen close to 40 motorcycles, and that each was sold at ₦60,000.

The exhibits recovered from the suspects include seven AK-47 rifles, three pump action guns and other weapons.

Politics / Video: COVID-19 In Nigeria Is A Sham- Minister Of State Education by chimezieeze98: 4:44pm On Jun 24, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxTw3e5D14U

Minister of State for Education, Mr. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba yesterday stunned lawmakers and other Nigerians in Abuja when he declared that the much dreaded Coronavirus infection does not exist in the country.

But Nwajiuba, in what seems to be a contradiction of his claim, condemned the decision of the Oyo State government to reopen its primary and secondary schools despite the current rising cases of infection in the country and the state in particular.

The minister, who spoke when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Basic and Secondary Education, said the ministry had presented a proposal to the National Assembly on the way forward concerning schools reopening for the federal lawmakers to criticise and make their input He said:

“In science, we talk about facts. Everything we know about this disease, is imported. In fact, nobody has seen this disease in Nigeria. Anybody who says he has seen it is a joker. As a nation today, we have done 112, 000 tests for a country of 200 million people in a four month period. “Children are asymptomatic carriers. Nobody can prove whether they can infect each others.

Not even the health experts. Everything we know about it is what we read. There is nothing we discovered on our own. “In the document we have provided, we have suggested how we can move our education sector forward in this pandemic period. We don’t want to make it known at this period so that some people will not take our proposal for guidelines for schools reopening. “This is because people publish fake guidelines every day which I always come on air to debunk. What we have now is a proposal.

Even if the Senate has not called us, we would have come to you to discuss with you because we have already discussed with the House of Representatives. “The documents were presented to you so that you can criticise and make inputs as major stakeholders,” he stressed. Responding to a question from the representative of Oyo South, Senator Kola Balogun, who wanted to know the views of the federal government on the decision of his state government to reopen the schools, he wondered why Oyo State which is currently battling with an increase cases of new infections, should be eager to throw open the games of its schools when its neighbouring states, were employing caution.

“Why is Oyo State talking of reopening schools when it has just started recording an increase cases of coronavirus infection. Just beside Oyo is Ogun State which was part of the three state under the federal government’s lockdown since April is not talking about schools reopening. “That’s part of the country’s problem, education is on the concurrent list, so every state taxes decisions that pleases it on it. Also everybody is a big man. When you call them on phone, they will not answer you.

“As we speak, Kogi and Cross River States are not on the same page with the National Centre for Disease Control on the issue of testing while all their neighbouring states are conducting tests,” he said. Vice chairman of the committee, Senator Akon Eyakenyi, who presided over the meeting, expressed the fears that the academic calendar could be distorted in public schools where no visible arrangement was being made to teach the children at home unlike their private schools counterparts. She said public schools students were made to rely on educational programmes on radio and television stations whereas they tune to stations showing cartoons whenever there was no adult to guide them.

The lawmaker said children in public schools don’t have access to online classes like their counterparts in the private schools. She noted that the arrangement regarding radio and television stations was not working. “Even when the students in the cities have access to education programmes on radio and televisions, what of those in the villages? What do we do so that we don’t shut them out?

“If government can give guidelines for the reopening of churches and mosques, stakeholders in the education sector could also hold a meeting with the government to agree on guidelines for schools reopening. “All we need to do is to come up with measures that would ensure the safety of both the students and their teachers. We can design a plan that would make sure that not all the students resume at the same time. We could probably start with the exit classes,” she said.

Man captures moment LASTMA officials were counting the money allegedly extorted from him and others in Lagos

A man has accused LASTMA officials of extortion and he shared a video to back his claims.



Ibukun Mike said the incident happened on May 15, 2020. He acknowledged that he and other road users were guilty of taking "one way" but he explained that they did so because there was a road block on the side of the road they were supposed to pass.



He claims a LASTMA official from the "Masamasa" (Maza-Maza) LASTMA office stopped them and took them to his office where he allegedly collected 50,000 Naira in cash from each of them without giving them receipts.



In a video shared by Mike, a woman is seen counting the money allegedly extorted from those arrested. Mike claims the officer who did the extortion left the office and asked his assistants seen in the video to count the money.

Politics / VIDEO: Moment Gunmen Invaded Nigerian High Commission In Ghana To Apartments by chimezieeze98: 10:18am On Jun 21, 2020

Gunmen burgle Nigerian high commission in Ghana, demolish apartments

Some yet-to-be-identified armed men broke into the Nigerian High Commission in Accra, Ghana, on Friday, destroying some apartments under construction.

TheCable reports that the affected buildings were being constructed to house staff and visitors.

A Ghanaian businessman had accused the commission of encroaching on his land.

He was said to have visited the property penultimate week, presenting evidence that he was the real owner of the land.

However, he reportedly returned to the site on Friday in the company of armed men who supervised the demolition.

Officials of the commission reportedly contacted the police but efforts were not made to prevent the demolition.

The Nigerian and Ghanaian authorities have yet to react to the issue, which comes five months after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied reports that the Nigerian commission in Ghana had been evicted in Accra.

The spokesperson for the ministry, Ferdinand Nwonye, in a statement, had said there was no “diplomatic row between Nigeria and the Republic of Ghana.”

Nwonye had said though the lease of the property on No.10 Barnes Road, Accra, has expired, the high commission was exploring the possibility of renewing the lease agreement with the host authorities.

Politics / Agboola Ajayi Detained By Ondo State Police Commissioner, Bolaji Salami by chimezieeze98: 8:14am On Jun 21, 2020

Ondo State Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi Detained By State Commissioner of Police, Over Plans To Defect To PDP

Ondo state deputy governor, Mr Agboola Ajayi, was detained on Saturday night for several hours by the state commissioner of police, Bolaji Salami.

In the video obtained by Naija News, the commissioner was heard saying “ your are already defecting, even your letter was brought to me this evening , you are defecting on Monday”. The deputy governor interjected and asked how his (Salami) decision to defect was a concern of the Police commissioner. He said: “Are you not a police officer, a senior officer, if I decide to leave a party for another, what’s your concern, are you the APC chairman, are you the PDP chairman.”

Naija News understands that the deputy governor had been nursing the idea of dumping his principal Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu in the order to contest against him in the forthcoming gubernatorial race in the state for over a year and this has caused great rift between him and Akeredolu.

In August 2019 he released a statement through his spokesman, Babatope Okeowo denying plans to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“This is a blatant falsehood as Agboola Ajayi remains a bonafide member of the APC and has no plan to dump the party for any rival political party.” the statement said.

In a bid to ensure that his political ambition was kept in secrecy, Ajayi again dismissed reports of a rift between him and his boss while speaking at his (Ajayi’s) 51st birthday celebration at the Ondo State Government House, Akure.

According to the Deputy Governor, he has the best working relationship with his boss.

Despite all the denials, it is now clear that Ajayi has perfected plans to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress for the Peoples Democratic Party less than five months to the October 10, 2020 governorship election in the state.

Findings revealed that the deputy governor’s defection plan has created disaffection among top members of the APC and loyalists of Akeredolu, who had been pleading with Ajayi not to leave the party.

Politics / Senator Adebayo Osinowo Last Contribution At Senate. Did He Have Premonition? by chimezieeze98: 7:38pm On Jun 16, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asnj5dVq_vE

The above video shows Senator Adebayo Osinowo's Last Contribution At Senate.

In the video, when addressing fellow senators, it was as if the Senator had a premonition that he would die. This is because, he told his colleagues that God created us without notice and will take us away without notice because we did not sign any contract with anyone when we were created. In all we do, we must always thank God in our lives because death is inevitable. Death is inevitable and will come suddenly. So we must prepare so that the righteous deeds will be more than our bad deeds.

Adebayo Oshinowo, the senator representing Lagos East in the National Assembly, died on Monday in Lagos, from a yet-to-be-disclosed ailment, aged 64.
